What's more, you might get a chance to win our latest OnePlus Buds Z. Let's share your ideas.

1. Separate volume for each app and allow dual media playback - by @micohau

[Adopted]​

This is undoubtedly a brilliant idea and we’ve been working on solutions to tackle such pain points. To start with, we’ll separate the volume controls of the media and notification, which is planned to be implemented next year. Congratulations and stay tuned!

2. Lockscreen customizatiom - by @GeneralKen0bi

[Adopted] ​

It is always our vision to provide our users with more flexibility in customizing their own smartphone experience. And we’ve been working on the possibility of customizing components like AOD and the lockscreen. As this is an integral part of the whole OS plan, it takes longer to get it implemented. Please stay tuned as we’ll bring more updates to our Community.

3. iOS 14 Back Tap Gestures - by @RoyDecoy

[Under Consideration] ​

Thanks for bringing this up. It is quite convenient for our users to take screenshots, trigger Google Assistant and etc with just one hand. As this is a feature that requires both software and hardware factors to be taken into account, we’ll look more into the user demands behind this and analyze specific cases of various devices in order to reach a responsible decision.

[Not Adopted] (Updated on Nov 17th)​

Thank you very much for your advice. However, given the usage scenario here, if the user enables this feature, there will be a lot of easy triggers for false touches. So for now, we'll stick to the existing shortcut gestures.

4. Preventing Screen Burn-In by Subtle Pixel Shifting - by @suhantm

[Not Adopted] ​

Thanks for your suggestion. Actually we’ve implemented certain measures to prevent the screen burn issue in the OOS11, to be specific, especially the AOD design. For older devices, we’ve also included similar solutions in other places like the status bar. Stay tuned for our future system updates.

5. Wireless file transfer from PC to OnePlus and vice versa - by @Starcommander

[Adopted] ​

Thank you for your suggestion! Actually we’ve been working on solutions to improve the user experience of file transfer between the smartphone and PC for some time. Hope we can bring more good news in future system updates.

6. Customizable Battery charge level - by @Sikandar Rao

[Not Adopted] ​

Thanks for bringing this up. We do understand your key concern behind this is the battery life and are happy to let you know that we got a better alternative solution for you - Optimized charging.

With "Optimized Charging", the battery will be initially charged to 80%. This process will then be suspend temporarily by using our “user sleep cycle detection” function. Your phone will start charging 100 minutes before your daily wake up time, first alarm or first event to 100% level.

7. Dual audio in bluetooth - by @Rodolfo Ochoa

[Not Adopted] ​

It’s a nice idea to share audio with 2 Bluetooth devices especially when users can enjoy a beautiful song or brilliant movie together. But it tackles with a relatively limited range of usage scenarios. For now we’ll focus on features that serve a wider audience in a broader range of scenarios. Still thanks for sharing your thought.
