Face Unlock much slower after today's update =(

After updating to 43 OTA 004, Faceunlock is no longer instant. now you see first the lockscreen flash and then UI slide in. I went back to 43 OTA 003, but same situation.
before it was just press powerbutton/doubletap screen and the screen turned on showing instantly UI whereever you left off. just like all the reviewers showed it. I dont have file to go back to inital firmware 001 .... :/
VERY DISAPPOINTING, it really breaks the "instant" feeling. hope they fix it soon.
meanwhile, no speed increase in fingerprint reader. still slightly slower than OP3.
UPDATE: solved - it is Nova Launcher with a custom wallpaper that caused this -> back to Oneplus launcher, set new wallpaper = FaceUnlock instant again!

Not a terrible trade-off for more security.
FP sensor still fast af.

reason for posting it here is to find out if anyone else experiencing this

ewww i hope not, then there is no difference than what was on the OP3/T smart lock, i liked the option that u didn't have to swipe up, i will prob return mine if this is the case.

thanks, ok then i did something to cause it... hm too bad

Here on 4.7.2 its also slow.

I had the same problem and factory reset: face unlock is back to being instant, and the finger print reader is noticeably faster. It is troublesome, however, that an OTA forced me to factory reset a 3 day old phone...

I have also reset after update but not solved.

I updated homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper with a custom one and experienced a slight drop on face unlock speed. Meaning that I was able to see the lockscreen for 1/10 of a second before the homescreen was there. I reverted the wallpaper choosing one of oneplus 's and face unlock speed was back to instant. Just a tip.

Works fine for me. I'm on FreedomOS based on Oxygen 4.7.2.

I'm aware. I built FreedomOS myself for the 5T.

the end of 2018 is near, still there is no sign of Pie

what a shame
dunno if Nokia staff could make it before the New Year

I am still on october patch

well the Nokia team keep their words
we will have pie soon enough :good:

my phone (TA-1105) Global version updated to pie, if ur device is TA-1109 with android one dont hope to get update. maybe ur devices converted from chinese to global rom. solution is convert back to chinese rom

too bad then
perhaps some clever guys will make it available to flash manually? :fingers-crossed:

Guys my Nokia 5.1+ is already running pie..
And I have also been facing ridiculously garbage ram management. Like, the phone is not even able to keep chrome in the background. Not able to keep more than 1 app in the background even after turning off adaptive battery. Otherwise the update is stable.
If anyone else is facing the ram management issue then pls confirm

Update: X5 got Pie. It was released after the 5.1 plus. I still think Oreo was better. I cannot measure, but I feel I have more mistouch with Pie.

As discussed here I ran the uninstall for power saver. But my game gets closed after a while if I open Chrome and Maps. It seems like 3GB is not big. It does not close if I don't open anything else.

Dude there is a simple fix for this problem. Your games will remain in the memory, but the fix is a bit annoying.
What you need to do is to just power off, then power on your device in every 2 days. Then just see the difference. Rebooting won't work, do what I mentioned above.
Thank me later

Global stable MIUI 11.0.4.0 is available for download!

Pretty much title. Still based on Android 9 as far as I know. I am rooted on 10.3.2.0 so I won't be upgrading until there's TWRP and Magisk available, but has anyone upgraded? How is it?

Good to know! I don't use the scroll screenshot often but that is disappointing. How are the "improved" gesture controls and animations?

Oh nice, I guess that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up. How can I get the link?

I dont see some difference in FSG animations, anyway dont really like new MIUI, new font kinda bugs me for some reason, when charging that circle with the percentage in bottom is now gone, and i liked that, so much easier to see the % in the circle than how it is now, dont like the scroll in the settings.... dont really see whats "better" now, and now there are things that bothers me and did not before, so its a bad update for me, i dont know maybe i just need time to get to use to it. Btw scroll ss in chrome is working just fine for me.

lol either the server is down or the update got pulled off because if i check for updates it says that there are no updates available, but earlier today at work when i checked it was available, but was unable to download it due to crappy wifi speed.
will check again tomorrow

Because its a beta stable it's not pushed out to everyone.

Battery percent still show in my lockscreen while charging, maybe you can try to change to another lockscreen theme or you can turn on battery percent in status bar

yes, it still shows the percentage, but i was referring to this bottom part, it was shown in a circle before on Miui 10, and was so much easier to see the number of percentage

Did you use the built in update function? Then there is no reason to fear for that

Question Oxygen OS 12 Idle Touch Sampling Rate

In the "touchMultiTest" tool, the touch sampling rate remains 0, untill the finger is moved quite a bit, the resultant feedback is abrupt and inaccurate.
Noticable while sniping in PUBG and scrolling slowly.
This is an extremely annoying issue which was nonexistent in Android 11 older 0xygen OS
This problem is present in all the Android 12 builds of OOS/color OS.
Can others confirm this and bring it to OnePlus' attention?
What can i do to let OnePlus know about this on their "community" app?

Quite possibly the app needs to be updated for the feature to work with newer API

Not an app specific issue.

1. If you have a thick case on that doesn't let heat out your SOC might throttle
2. If you have a screen protector /tempered glass on, try without it or try RMA

Tried all that, i can confirm that this is an issue with OOS 12 and Color OS 12.
All the other Android 12 custom ROMS that I've tried, does not have this problem.
Its an issue specific to OOS 12.
This problem has persisted from way back, since the DP2 (Developer Preview 2) release.

Upon further investigation, I think it has something to do with the kernel used in OOS 12 builds

Switch back to OOS11 if it's a problem.

I experienced a whole lotta jank on all of their A12 builds. I never got around to installing OB3, but I did install the build that apparently broke everyone's data (oddly it didn't break mine). I think OB2 was by far the most stable build they put out for A12.
I tried PA for a bit but I'm a features guy and went back to OOS11.

What is "monet" ?
Also im currently on the C.44 build of OOS 12 on my LE2125.
Idk what OnePlus did, but the touch "deadzone" issue is non-existent ONLY in PUBG mobile.....things are perfect there.
But its present everywhere else and in all the other games ( PUBG New State, COD Mobile, etc) ...
The touch "deadzone" issue is undeniably apparent now...
Easily observed when switching between "PUBG New State" and "PUBG Mobile"

I was having the issue in the launcher even. In c.60
Even using Facebook and all other apps. During scrolling and holding the scroll with a finger

The problem very well does still persist throughout c.61.
By "system fluency", OnePlus probably means animation improvements.

Question Slower after Android 13/One UI 5 update. Anyone else?

It seems like the phone is ever-so-slightly-slower following the Android 13/One UI 5 update.
Splash screens of various apps consistently appear for a few split seconds longer than before. In fact, at least one app that used to launched instantly now shows a splash screen for a fraction of a second before launching.
Is this just my experience, or do others see the same thing as well?

Thank you.
But I'm trying to figure out if the small slowdown after Android 13 update is an anomaly or if most people experience it. Do you?

My phone came with Android 13/OneUI 5 preinstalled, but I later received an update with January security patch and I started facing issues after that update.
The scrolling works very bad, its like there are some ghost touches. When I scroll thru WhtasApp/Telegram chats, photos in gallary, webpages the scroll sometimes doesn't work, just like the screen didn't even register my touch. If I try to scroll fast, the scroll stops in between, just like a ghost touch or something.
I was also facing issue with fingerprint scanner when the phone screen is off for some time, but I got it resolved by removing existing finterprints. and registering new ones.
The scroll issue is a real bummer for me. I hope it get fixed with the next OneUI 5.1 update.

In Addition to what I listed above, I faced one more strange issue today. I received the January security patch AGAIN today. It's like before, the download size, update description, all is same.
The previous January security patch update I got was installed successfully, I could see it in the software section, I am not sure why I received same update again.

Can someone here please confirm if you are able to scroll faster? I mean, I have my old OnePlus 6 with me. If I do a simple test to scroll once in a telegram chat, OnePlus scroll backs to more number of chat messages compared to S21FE. The S21FE just scrolls to few lines.
Anyone observed same issue?

Yes. the scrolling on the S21 FE is much more stiff and "heavy" than my old J series Samsung phone. In addition, many screen taps aren't noticed by the phone, requiring me to tap again.
You should report it in the Samsung member app like I did. The more people who report these problems the bigger a chance that a patch will be issued.
