When manufacturers develop new patches to fix problems on their phones, they hope that bugs will become a thing of the past, solving all the bugs that users have to deal with. However, not all updates end up going well and while some bugs are resolved, new ones appear that are even more annoying.
This is what is happening in several phones of the firm, among which we have found similar situations in the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 9 Pro. However, the deployment of the latest patch continues and those affected could continue to add up in the coming hours and days on different models.
Problems haunt OnePlus
Some of the errors that the firm was trying to solve with this new security patch were based mainly on the front and rear cameras, since many people had had to deal with bugs that prevented them from being able to use them normally. Other of the fixes were based on the screen, which was doing weird or even on the system. All this has been solved to the delight of those affected, but, on the other hand, new errors have appeared.
Among the problems that have been repeated for a few days on the OnePlus forum is battery consumption. It is not something new for the company, which has already had to deal many times with the excessive consumption of OxygenOS 12 and while in other models they have ended up hitting the key, in this case it seems that they will have to repeat the strategy as soon as possible.
Some people have gone from enjoying up to 5 or 6 hours of screen time to having it drop by half after installing the latest patch. In other cases, the failure has nothing to do with autonomy, but with the charging time, something that should not have changed with the update, although it seems that OnePlus has altered it in some models to take care of the cells. The charging time, however, has multiplied in some cases, reaching more than 2 hours of waiting , when previously nothing more than 50 minutes was necessary.
Other minor errors related to Bluetooth or even with the occasional bug that continuously asks when trying to turn off the mobile, if you want to access the safe mode. A sea of problems that OnePlus did not expect, much less users want to continue suffering.
We can only restore and wait
The main recommendation that is repeated in the forum itself and the one indicated by OnePlus customer service in these cases is based on resetting the entire phone. To do this, it is first important to carry out the steps prior to restoring the mobile, making sure that we are not going to lose any files during the process that we will never be able to recover. The next thing will be to complete these simple steps:
- We enter the Mobile Settings.
- We touch on the section called System.
- We choose Recovery Options.
- Finally, we touch on Return to the factory state.
With this process completed, nothing will have to be done other than wait for it to finish completely and when it is turned on again, trust that the terminal stops dragging those errors. If this is not the case, the only thing we can do is wait for a patch to finish the problems again and not bring new problems.
