We have gotten used to being always connected, both outside the home with mobile data and in a more complete way when we are under WiFi range, however many OnePlus mobiles have to face continuous connection problems with this type of connection. Luckily, there are ways to fix it ourselves without having to call in service or pull the warranty.
All OnePlus models rely on their OxygenOS customization layer with which for this process it will not matter if we have the latest version or an old one and of course neither if we have the latest OnePlus Nord or one with several years of life. To try to solve problems, we invite you to know each and every one of the options that we show you, trying those that are directly related to you and in case the WiFi failures in OnePlus are not fixed , opting for the others.
Speed issues with WiFi on OnePlus
Among the many failures that can appear around this connection , speed problems with WiFi are among the most widespread, especially after having implemented a major update. The company has had to face many of them repeatedly and sooner or later with an update it ends up solving, if this is your case we invite you to try it by going into Settings> System> Updates.
Choose the correct network usage
One of the reasons for us to find ourselves in front of this failure is caused by a bad configuration of the WiFi network in OnePlus mobiles . It is only necessary to correct it that we enter Settings> WiFi and Internet> WiFi> to touch after the settings of the network in which we are connected. This will take us to a series of options where we are going to focus on the so-called Network Use and which allows us to choose between three options, but what interests us is to automatically detect to know the WiFi and offer us the best performance at all times.
Turn off battery saver
In all mobile phones we find a battery saving system that limits certain processes of the smartphone and if we use it continuously we can be causing this situation. Just by deactivating the battery saver we will notice how both the apps and the web pages work much faster.
OnePlus phones that disconnect from WiFi
When we are watching a series, writing an email or playing games on the mobile the last thing you want is for the smartphones to disconnect, but unfortunately this has happened on practically all OnePlus mobiles. Given this, we have to put ground in the middle and choose the correct configuration, in addition to following tips that will be key.
WiFi preference options
To configure the WiFi network in OxygenOS correctly we have to enter Settings> WiFi and Internet> WiFi. Inside we will find the possibility of choosing between the WiFi preference actions the option of selecting the best WiFi network intelligently, a system that saves us problems, although if we already have it activated perhaps it is time to try it in reverse.
What was not missing is having the always-available scanning option active, a location-based system that improves performance in places where we have saved WiFi.
Connection cuts by other devices
But in addition to the above, it will be very important that we know that the WiFi network can run into problems if we have many devices around the WiFi router . Nor is it convenient to have it near the microwave or other appliances that emit waves that leave us without connection. At the time of distributing the signal we must be careful in our house so that we do not suffer these falls.
OnePlus won’t connect to WiFi
The biggest problem of all and more common than we would like is when a OnePlus mobile does not get the connection complete. This error before entering into the matter, we must make sure that it exists, restarting the mobile and correctly checking the password as many times as necessary. If, despite everything, it continues, we will take action.
Reset WiFi settings
In this step we are only going to erase the WiFi networks that are saved and we will eliminate everything that has been generated with the WiFi control on our OnePlus mobile. We should not fear for our data at any time. What we will do is enter Settings> System> Reset> Recovery options> Recover WiFi, mobile network and Bluetooth. Then we complete the process by clicking on recover settings and we can try to connect the mobile again.
Wipe cache as last solution
This process is the last solution given its complexity and we only recommend doing it after having saved all the files on the mobile in another place, if we do not want to lose them forever. OnePlus itself recommends and admits its errors with the cache, offering this solution to the failures with the WiFi that we may be suffering.
- First we turn off the mobile.
- Then we press and hold the volume down and power buttons until we see the OnePlus logo.
- Later we select English language.
- We touch wipe data and cache.
- Then we play wipe cache again.
- Now in Yes to confirm the action.
- Finally when you have finished click on reboot.
At the end of the process we will have to reconfigure our mobile, bought now if the device’s WiFi now works as it should.
