Update to OTA Official 5.03 or stay on Nougat? - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

Hello
Is the Oreo update better than Nougat or does the performance or battery of the phone go down when compared to 7.0?
Coming for a Samsung S7 and with that phone I ended up downgrading to 6.0 from Nugat because Nougat was running the phone laggy. With this mentality I assume that updates in general typically make phone performance worse and I haven't yet updated to Oreo.

Battery life is good on 5.0.3 but I like many others suffering from poor in call audio missed calls as phone doesn't ring or very quiet I didn't notice this on 7.1 hopefully fix on way soon

For me everything else is good other than phone not ringing issue which happens occasionally when I use my Bluetooth handsfree in a WhatsApp call.
Battery life is definitely better for me.

5.0.4 fixed all that

Is it safe to update without wipe? Or wipe needed?

No wipe needed. Just browse the threads here on xda and you'll find the right procedure on how to migrate

I'm an app horder and have quite a few apps, everything was working fine on Nougat, when I updated to 5.0.3 I had an odd issue where my app list locks up and freezes for about 60 seconds.
This happens for apps like titanium backup & es explorer, or even the android settings app list.
now on 5.0.4 same problem.
Anyone else getting this same problem ?

Should I update my watch to lollipop?

I'm currently still running 4.4 but I've read horror stories of 5.0 and above being really buggy and not pushing notifications anymore and random disconnects. Has that been fixed or should I stay with 4.4?
It's a good update. No issues that I have had except that sometimes I set my notifications to none on accident. No performance or reliability issues.
I may consider it then. Did you notice any increase in battery life?

Yes, it's pretty massively better. I didn't have mine for very long prior to the 5 update (we're on 5.0.2 on the watch now), but I would definitely go ahead and update it.
I have no problem/issue after updating.
I did the update and am very pleased. The overall experience is better plus better battery life.
Same as everyone else
I highly recommend the update to 5:good:
We updated my wife's watch to Lollipop shortly after we took it out of the box. I like the Lollipop interface better and she has had no problems with it.
You can update to Lollipop. It is advance version and you will feel the power of this updated version.

HTC 10 Android 7.0 Nougat Update Issues

I upgraded to Nougat yesterday, currently facing many stability issues. Any help would be appreciated on the below problems.
* Sound is unstable, screen lock does not produce any sound
* Incoming calls are often silent, no sound comes out for some reason
* HTC Live Wallpapers disappeared, I cannot locate them
* Double tap to wake problem persists, I had this problem on 6 and still cannot fix it despite many attempts including sensors, wipe clean and 3 hard reset attempts // I had this issue when I purchased my phone back in September. After many trial and errors it somehow worked on its own. Then I got a problem on my screen and took it to the HTC Service. They told me they replaced the screen and did a software update and my DT2W no longer worked
Also missing the live wallpapers over here.

I guess that's why there's a new firmware 2.41.401.4 leaked. Would explain why they halted the Roll-Out of 2.41.401.3, and seems they already working on a fix.

My HTC 10 is an unlocked US version and it seems pretty stable. After initial roll out of Android 7 on Nov 25th, we then got 2 updates(Dec and Jan) which contained bug fixes and security patches.
I guess my #htc10 has hardware issues out of the box
After the UK Nougat update my Sandisk SD card is not being recognised as external storage. Was ok before the update. I've removed & reinserted a couple of times, still no joy. Anyone experienced this?

I had the same problem. I had to remove it and reinsert into the phone.
Hey guys,
None of the issues above I ran into....Has OP tried a factory reset? Always recommended to Android devices after a big version upgrade.
Speaking of factory reset, well, I did it, and I have some other issues :
1. Camera in Pro mode, under long exposure duration, the image quality drops significantly...I am an photography amateur, so I know what I am talking about.
2. Sometimes the phone app does not recognize saved contacts. (It seems that this would be solved with 2.41.401.4)
3. Battery drains...much quicker than 1.95...before I can get 5h or + screen on time, now barely passes 4h.
I've also noticed a batterydrain. Although I've done a fresh install. Yesterday I did a complete wipe again without backup recovery. Battery seems stable now.
Since the OTA Nougat update i've had issues with instagram videos not playing whilst pictures work fine (on both 4g and wifi).
Also gmail no longer syncs automatically and i have to manually refresh to get mail.
Wiping cache partition and wiping app cache/ reinstalling the apps didn't work. I do feel like the update has somehow caused this as it was fine before.
Anyone else having these issues?
To comment on issues others have been having, my battery drain feels normal. And I have always has issues with gestures and double tap to wake not working
Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here
Unlocked USA 2.41.617.3 is stable here. It brought the January security patch and also fixed all of my battery drain issues I had since the September, 2016 Android 6.1 update. I lost 2-day battery life in September, 2016.
I am finally back to 2-day battery with doze acting normally since January, 2017 update.
No extra updates or fixes yet for us in the UK. Also noticing apps will won't auto update correctly now. Getting a google play is not responding message. HTC need to sort this out asap

Android O problems

I have seen a lot of weird android O problems put up here, is it really that buggy or are their a lot of you rooting and running things that aren't necessarily tailored to O yet? Just curious, I don't have it yet but as soon as it is made available to my Pixel XL I will download it, I just want to make sure it isn't a giant bucket of bugs.
Sent from my BTV-W09 using Tapatalk
I haven't had any issues, I was able to update with OTA before Google pulled it the first time. Mine updated normally, havent had any weird reboots or behavior on my device yet.
I am unlocked running pure stock, enrolled in the beta atm
I haven't had any issues either. It's been performing very well and Bluetooth works great for me on everything I've tried it with.
I did a clean factory image. Rooted and suhide. Many of the TiBu apps had to be deleted and data restored, but that happens between different ROMs, so it's no surprise. Battery drain seems higher than PN or PixelDust, but it's too early to tell for sure. Push notifications are taking longer than on 7.1.2 for gmail, outlook, and wickr. But, no bugs so far to report.
Awesome, so I guess since I am not rooted or unlocked and not using any non android O approved apps (that I know of) I have a very small chance of bugs. Thanks. I really do appreciate it, sets my nerves at ease.

Battery life with Oreo and I don't have that great of reception.
Got Oreo on my Pixel XL via the beta.
No reports yet of problems with volume or battery life, but one of the new features "picture-in-picture", is not working for me at all. Google support have told me its a known issue and are working on it.
Like Partridge's extendable table, it's not a deal-breaker.

PiP only works with YouTube red or if you modify your nav bar to have a custom button to do it for youtube. And go to chrome watch a video in full screen then press home it'll work that way.
Not sure what's happening but when I was on dp4 and now on Oreo official the battery life has been the best it's ever been since I bought the phone back in 2016.
My experience has gotten better over the last day or so. The first 24hrs felt very janky. Since it has settled in and I'm happy with the performance.
When you guys did a fresh install did you restore all of your settings etc from the cloud? Or are you manually resetting your phone back up?

Only bug I've seen is PIP. This release has fixed my bluetooth issues(controls sometimes not working with my Jaybird X2's, Moto 360 constantly disconnecting with having issues getting it to reconnect even after reboots of phone and watch). Bluetooth issues have been my only complaint with the phone and those started for me only after the first OS update(7.?.?). I flashed the factory image and restored from cloud backup. Very happy so far.

Has anyone had notification sound problems? When I get a notification the sound plays at least twice or more.
I perform the OTA as beta program first and use it for 5-10 mins.
Later I decided to perform a facotry reset, during the wifi setup, I found that the phone cannot recognize my hidden wifi. In the end, I found that the phone could not find wifi channel 11, 12 or 13 from my router AC68U. I manually set the channel to 4 and the wifi was connected.
Last time I saw the same issue was on my Kindle Voyage.

NEED HELP - My Lenovo P2 restarts whenever i try to call someone.

As the title says my Lenovo P2 restarts whenever I try to call someone. Most of the times I noticed, it restarts when I used it for some time and then I go for a call, it restarts. Even after when the phone restarts I cannot able to call immediately as it will be on loop(restarts again and again) if I try. For this I need to wait for some 5min to call someone and I even did the hard reset of the phone, after this it didn't occur for few days and started again now. I don't know what's wrong with my phone and it's really annoying.
My phone is on Marshmallow with stock ROM. Have anyone here faced this issue on Lenovo P2? Please don't suggest me to update to the Nougat, I need the solution for this current version if possible. Your inputs appreciated. Thanks.

2 days back I faced some lags when I use stock contacts app, like the contact details getting delayed to scroll up when we click on it. But its resolved without doing anything! I don't think its because of the nougat bug, I have plenty of contact permission needed apps on my P2, Am believing one of them did that lags.
Oh I forgot, After nougat update, the RAM management improved a bit.

Good to hear that, I'm hesitating to update just because the current version(Marshmallow) is giving me the best performance in terms of Battery back up( SoT of 14 to 16hrs) and in other aspects too like RAM management and all. How is the Battery management compared to Marshmallow and Nougat? I heard the Battery management was good in Marshmallow from most of the Lenovo P2 users.

Frankly speaking, I didn't check the power consumption in latest Nougat build.
Am a heavy user and daily spending 8 to 10 hours outside home and am not experiencing any serious battery drain issues till now.

I wouldn't suggest you to update to Nougat. The latest updated Nougat version has lag issues which makes playing videos or games very irritating. Also the battery backup is worse. There are no drain issues, the backup is just a little bit worse.
Change SIM-card.

MIUI V11.0.2.0.QGGEUXM Android 10

Hello, I just received MIUI 11.0.2.0 based on Android 10 Stable, so I'm wondering if it is safe to update, I'm afraid that after updating the battery will drain faster as it usually happens, do you have any info about this?

Well I have worse battery live on Android 10.
Something keeps phone awake and drain battery.
I have about 1 or 2 hours less SOT.
Looking for solution. ?
I ended up upgrading, at first, my phone was lagging when scrolling in any app, and the battery was somehow draining a bit faster but I managed to fix it.
Try this if you have a related problem.
-Go into developer settings
-Scroll almost to the button
-Disable MIUI optimization
-Reboot
-Enable MIUI optimization
-Reboot
Also, the permission of most of my apps got lost, like access to the microphone, storage, phone... so I had to re-enable them manually because they were "blocked".
For those experiencing problems, it's probably worth doing a full wipe. I tend to find its needed after as version update of Android.
I did a wipe and haven't encountered problems as of yet. Bluetooth, apps and battery all fine for me.

I didn't get much feedback so I suppose it isn't a very popular issue. However, I've a solution to share for the annoying problem.
After doing a full wipe of the phone the issue was still present and I was still facing connection problems.
So I enabled the developers options menu and started to play with Bluetooth hidden settings.
At first I downgraded the AVRCP version from the default 1.4 version to 1.3 but it was not working, so I tried 1.5 (same issue) and 1.6. This version was slightly better... The car was authenticating and showing the Bluetooth audio codec in a small icon beneath the device name (Ford Audio -> SBC) but the connection was not stable and dropping. So I changed the default audio codec and I set SBC.
Everything started to work well and I was able to make several hands free call without issues anymore.
I hope it helps whoever could have similar issues.

Today I discovered that settings changed in the developer menu are not persistent and don't survive to a phone reboot. So every time I get in the car I've to repeat settings.
This is quite annoying, any solutions other than waiting for another software update?
Another alternative would be changing the car, but it's more expensive than buying another mobile phone.

Changing profiles in the developer menu is not helping... I was able to make a couple of calls, no more. Connection is continuously dropping.
Full wipe was not a solution. Before the upgrade I never had a disconnection.
I also tested a couple of Bluetooth profiles apps, including Android Auto, but no luck.
I think we need a fix ASAP.
Is there an official support site where to make complaints regarding this update?
Ever since I updated to 11.0.3.0PGGEUXM I've been unable to use one of my wallet apps (bbva wallet), and am afraid something else breaks if I update; has anyone from Mexico updated and been able to use it again, along with citibanamex pay?

I'm opening a ticket reporting this issue with my phone...
I hope It will work
After 20 days I decided to downgrade back to MIUI V11.0.3.0PGGEUXM based on android 9, the only thing I liked about android 10 was the dynamic MAC address but it didn't compensate the high battery drain from the Android System, with up to 9-10 hours of CPU usage and about 6-6:30 hours of Screen-on time. I will test how many hours of SOT I have now.
