Downloads and Known Issues
Downloads:
Open the thread in browser to download the file. The Community app doesn't support downloads. The links are working!
How to install the Update
Known Issues:
Common Issues:
- Sensors like the gyroscope, ambient light sensor and proximity sensor are not accessible. Reboot your phone again and the sensor are working again. So you have to reboot your phone twice for the full installation.
- Hiding the notch is not available. Workaround. The link is not working in the Community App. Go to post #2548 on page 128 in this thread. Thanks @DroidOnePlus
- The battery life isn't perfect.
- There is extra space between the keyboard (GBoard) and bottom of the display. This is also on the OnePlus Launcher (default) present, so you can choose a third party launcher.
- Smart-Display is called Contexual Display
- It's beta software. Gestures could be a bit laggy and the fingerprint sensor could be a bit slower. Overall stability is fine, but not perfect.
- Google Pay is not working. It's limited to 6T. It heard that a update of GPay fixed it. Google Pay does work on OnePlus 6 devices.
Uncommon Issues (some users complaining about it; not widespread):
- network issues. Android 10 introduced random mac adresses on WiFi. This may cause the issues depending on your local network. You can disable the random mac adresses in the WiFi settings under your specific WiFi Network. The name is privacy.
- Issues with aptX/bluetooth audio. For me my Bullets Wireless with aptX are working fine.
- Storage issues:
- Internal storage not accessible via a computer.
- Gallery, File Manager Screenshots are not working. Try to remove app data of the Gallery and the File Manager.
- Google Chrome or Play Store crashes at downloading.
