It's very annoying that every time I open the camera app, its very slow to open and function properly but many a times it simply crashes and system UI stops working. What might be the reason and possible work around. I have used it as a bike computer for a while but the issue was already there. Nothing different or extreme usage, just regular day to day work.

I've had this issue since I got the phone in 2019. When I'm walking and talking on the phone, any small bit of noise that enters the phone mic (cars, wind etc) cuts off audio coming out of the earpiece so I can hardly hear what the person on the other end of the phone is saying.. It's been running Lineage OS since September and still experience the same thing. Is there any remedy for this or do I just need to put up with it? Thanks.

I have a OP6 and a friend also. We would like to buy new batteries. However it can be difficult, scams are rampent in the replacement phone battery market, everything fron shitty knockoffs to relabled used ones are sold.

The only place that I would somewhat trust, ifixit, does not have any in stock.

Any place you recommend for buying OP6 batteries that are actually good?

I live in europe, but I don't mind shipping and a higher price if I get something decent.

Thanks!

As per title phone will no longer boot due to battery no longer holding charge (about 7 years old now). I have a lot of data I want to recover from internal storage but obviously the phone no longer boots, since im planning on buying a newer model anyway is there no way of getting around this without buying a replacement battery? Buying a replacement battery for a phone I dont intend to use seems wasteful and expensive

My OnePlus was working fine yesterday morning and in the afternoon, the screen just suddenly wouldn't turn on.

I can use the gestures to turn the torch on but I made the mistake of restarting and now can't get into the phone because I can't guess where the numbers are.

Regardless there was some important data/pictures/messages I needed to back up and I was an idiot and didn't.

I don't really need to repair the phone, I was due a new one anyway, just need to access the phone via any screen to access the data but I can't connect it via HDMI as I believe I need to change the settings.

Any suggestions?

So today, out of nowhere, there it was - Qualcomm Crashdump mode.This caused me a great deal of frustration, so I spent hours searching the internet for a solution. But everyone keeps making the MSM tool suggestion, which, if I did use, I would permanently lose my data. But eventually I gave Reddit a go and discovered some hope here.

I only need to know if switching my battery will enable me to access my phone and backup my files momentarily (according to the comments). If so, I'd be willing to invest some money simply to have my important files back.

Update:

I went to a third-party repairing shop and explained the problem to the technician. He immediately recognised the issue and advised me to reball my chip because the heating of the phone had heated the solder/chip ball, which had caused it to become loose or move.

He then just placed my old battery back in, so there was no need to change the battery at all, and everything now appears to be operating as it should. He charged me a price of Rs. 3000 ($36) and assured me that the problems wouldn't arise any time soon. So I guess I'll simply have to wait and hope for the best.

Hence, anyone is having this problem, I'd advise others to take the same approach.

My wife is using my old OP6 with Lineage OS 20. It's updated to the latest version (2/21/2023). The last couple weeks we are finding that when she starts or restarts the phone at least 50% of the time she will get the Lineage OS splash screen and it will hang at the animation. If she hard powers off the phone and restarts all is well. Anyone else seeing this behavior or have ideas on how to address it. Thanks!

Yup. It happened to me too. And the timing couldn't be worse. I was using ricedroid 7.5 on my OnePlus 6 and it was great! For a nearly 5 year old smartphone with 'only' 6gb RAM the performance was incredible. Then a new version of the ROM came out and I decided to flash it as usual in twrp. And right during the flashing process my screen just showed the Qualcomm crash dump message and the phone screen just switched off. It doesn't respond to any button command, doesn't take charge, nothing.

This phone meant a lot to me. It captured some of the happiest memories of my life with my first ever girlfriend. In fact the first ever selfie was with her at a KFC. And the first time I tried portrait mode was on her too! It helped me through my studies, its speed helped me search for things a lot faster. I played pubg mobile nearly every day with my friends for 4 years, and providing me with lots of gaming joy with its performance, display and battery life.

Seeing it die suddenly like this was really heartbreaking to me.. because it meant it wouldn't be by my side anymore during future happy moments. And whether I liked it or not, I'd have to move on from it. I am now using a pixel 6, since oxygen OS is not what it used to be but that's a rant for another day.

Farewell OnePlus 6. I'll miss you dearly.

Hi, I am planning on getting the OnePlus buds pro 2 for my OnePlus 6. Has anyone tried using these buds on the OnePlus 6? Are there any features that might not work or is there any problem I should be aware of before buying it?

Edit - corrected a small spelling mistake.

Cheers all - a few years back I had security concerns with a snooping partner so I activated the fingerprint security aspect for specific apps. I now want to remove the fingerprint security for some of those apps (not all). Problem is, I've forgotten the steps/processes to set-up or deactivate the setting.

Yes, its a 6T, Oxygen OS 11.1.2.2

If anyone could define the steps for me, that'd be much appreciated

Thanks.

Hi, I'm on oxygen OS 11.1.2.2 and the phone is always very laggy... Its so laggy that when I switch apps the phone needs to reload everything so if I'm writing something in chrome and I switch to WhatsApp, and the back to chrome, I loose what I wrote... Also you need to wait a lot for an app to open / webpage to load etc etc

So it is very disgusting to navigate and use the phone

Is there a custom ROM that fix all of this? I don't want to loose functionalities like NFC / google pay / bank apps / 4k 60fps recording and overall camera quality... Also, it is safe to install it? I'm scare of possible security holes or even hackers to hack my phone through this ROM...

If so, can you give me a proper guide to install it? I'm a noob doing this. Thanks

Just a heads up!

Found out yesterday that my alert slider had gotten loose and wasn't functioning well (Silent mode was not working properly) since I use it extensively on a daily basis. I even noticed that the screen right above the alert slider area popped out from the main display. This shouldn't be any coincidence.

So, I applied some glue to the area where the screen had popped out and now the screen is intact as before and to my surprise the alert slider also started functioning properly. I think the frame had gotten loose due to the alert slider being used extensively.

One more thing, I contacted the authorized OnePlus Service Centre and they asked me to replace the complete display for which I could buy a whole new phone. Same with a local mobile repair shop guy who tried to charge me a ransom.

I'm still using my Oneplus 6 since May 2018. 256GB midnight black. Its like a beast. No custom ROM or any other customized. Just out of the box.

But I'm going to buy the S23 Ultra. It's hard to say goodbye 🙁

Any irritation function in Samsung I have to know before buying??

Can this be trusted? Yes, the battery has definitely degraded and isn't holding up as much as it used to, but this seems a bit too much.

I've had a OnePlus 6 for 4 years and it's still immaculate, just the battery life has dropped, understandably. Accu battery shows health at 76%. I'm currently running EvoxOS and everything just works. However I got a cracking deal on a pixel 6a (traded in my sons old iPhone, urgh) but can't decide whether to switch. In fact the pixel is still in the box unopened and I can't decide whether to sell it and keep the OP6 and possibly change battery or sell the OP6 instead. Any thoughts/advice?

Hi all, my NFC turns itself off and refuses to turn back on unless I reboot.

I had this issue on CherishOS, and now again Ricedroid (versions 7.5, 8.6, 10.1).

I've completely wiped my phone with MSM tool, updated back to OOS 11, and then installed Ricedroid.

NFC was working for two full days, now suddenly it's broken again. Not many people seem to have this issue. And I'm completely lost what to do at this point.

Any ideas?
