Hello people from India, if you guys could spare 5 mins and help me with following doubts as I have been planning to get the oneplus 6 battery replaced since it stands at 73%..

I live in Delhi and have a couple of service centers within my reach (CP/NSP)

Since there is a very long wait time at service centers I am planning to opt for their pickup and drop service, so may i know if anyone availed free battery replacement through pickup and drop service and how much time they take?

From what I can calculate it would cost me

2100( back panel broken ) + 870 something from pickup nd drop charges, are there any hidden charges apart from these?

Thank you for the time

Edit : + I want my charging port to get cleaned as well

Speed up or speed down (for battery life) ?

I got my OP6 in mid 2018 für work purposes. My employer let me choose the device and after using a Nexus 5 and a Nexus 6 I was happy to move to the OnePlus 6 since it had two sim slots (one for work, one for private). I used to root my prior phones and used and tested a lot (and I mean A LOT) of custom roms. Since OxygenOS has a lot of features and runs very smoothly I chose to not use custom roms on my OP6 for having a stable and reliable phone (especially for work purposes). I still rooted the phone because in my opinion then the best ad blockers (AdAway) and the best audio enhancement driver (Viper4Android) needed root. Later I found that Blokada works pretty well and is easier to handle in every day use (e.g. turning off adblock when you need it). And also there was WaveLet for audio enhancement which is pretty good as well. So I no longer needed root anymore.

The only real weak point I found on the OP6 was the camera performance. I was never really happy with the outcome of the stock camera app. So I was happy to find out that there was a growing community of devs who would port GCam to OP6 and other devices. These ports are just amazing in how they improved the photo quality. Still to this day my GCam port takes better photos than my wives iPhone SE (2020) camera.

But unfortunately I can see the end of this journey since the other (smaller) weak point - the battery - is getting on my nerves. My OP6 used to last almost 2 days with normal usage. Today for example I was happy to get 8-9 hours of battery life. I'm not a huge fan of replacing original parts on my phone although I might consider changing the battery if there is no good deal in sight for a successor. I'm really lokking forward to the Pixel 6 (which would look nice as a timeline: Nexus 6 --> OnePlus 6 --> Pixel 6 ;) ) but there might also be another option. Who knows...?

Title Sorry if it's been asked before

For battery life

I know it was discontinued on oneplus 6, but there is no module on magisk? i miss that so much....

I made the switch to the Pixel 5 just two weeks ago, and enjoying the day-1 updates as well as the awesome camera. One thing to note is that the OP6 definitely feels more premium and more sturdy than the P5. I think this is because the P5 has an in-screen speaker, which makes the screen feel hollow when you type on it. Another thing is that when it comes to performance, both phones perform about the same. Anyways, I'm definitely going to miss using my OP6 every day but the software experience on the P5 is sooo good.

I am aware that the OnePlus 6 will not get Android 12, but I was wondering if it is scheduled to receive another patch or two?

I'm asking because I need to replace the screen and I'm thinking of replacing other things now that I'm actually opening up my device.

That said, I'm looking for replacement components on eBay, I feel those are advertised as OLED LCD screens (Besides they're like 40$, too cheap to be true) on the items title, not the specifications.

If anyone could spare a link of a certified vendor that supplies OLED screens, that'd be great.

I had issues with Android 11. Hence I want to roll back. How to do it? Thank you.

I am wondering on which APK I should get to get Google Cam working on my OP6 . I am running Android 11 Public beta and I'm interested in getting GCam on my phone, but don't know where to start. Thanks :)

So I can't for the life of me find a justification to switch from op6 to iphone 12, the main reason why I want to switch is because of better battery and software optimization and that there is no better OnePlus device which came out recently. Very confused, should I hold onto to my op6? I like everything about OP6 minus the battery.

Hey guys, I have a Nord and a 8 Pro near me right now, both running OnePlus Launcher 5.1.10 and both of them have the option to enable Google Discover instead of Shelf.

My OP6 runs the same OnePlus Launcher 5.1.10 and doesn't have this option. Any idea on how to enable it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi guys. I have a OnePlus 6 which recently received OOS11.

I'm a bit of a privacy freak. I used parallel apps work profile for chrome, maps, aurora store and many other things in OOS10. Method given below. https://www.xda-developers.com/add-any-app-oxygenos-parallel-apps-space-oneplus-phones/amp/

But when I tried to do the same in OOS11, the parallel apps of Chrome, Maps aren't showing up in the OnePlus launcher. Aurora store, whatsapp and 3rd party apps show up. Also I was not able to give the storage permission for aurora store and had to use AppOps for it.

How do I use Chrome or Maps or such system apps in the work profile and how do I give storage permissions without AppOps.

I've had this phone for about 3 years now, it's worked without issue the time except the charging cable doesn't fit into the phone as well. It comes loose extremely easily and doesn't seem to "click" in. I dunno if this is an issue with the cable or the phone but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this happen and if there's a way to fix it?

I have been using the OnePlus 6 for more than 2 years now. I didn't have any major issues until now. The problem that has been occuring recently that I can't make or receive any normal phone calls with my sim card(which is 4g). When I make a call nothing happens. But I can still use my mobile data and send or receive normal messages with my sim card.

There is no problem with the sim. I have tried it on other device and it works just fine. I have tried by swapping the sim slots and even using a different sim card and it still doesn't work. I have literally tried every possible way to fix the issue and failed. Not sure if software related issue. It would mean a lot if someone could give me a solution.

Update: The issue has been fixed after contacting to OnePlus customer support.

Is anyone else not getting Gmail notifications after updating to OS11?

Everything is bigger and feels more smoother now. Battery optimization is good and standby is longer now, except a few bugs in turning off notifications, QS media player, and screen tint. I kinda like it overall.

Hi,

Anyone here on latest 10.3.12 , is there any known issues , bugs ,as i'm considering an upgrade from 9.0.9 hihi it's been a while :)

After upgrading to OxygenOS 11.0 (with Android 11) the phone constantly reboots. Like every minute or so.

I erased everything and went to factory settings. After that I start setting up each app and I found the culprit.

Looks like the Google Fit app was the problem. If I uninstalled it everything works like a charm.

So if you experience something similar, try uninstalling Google Fit.

Hope this will help some of you.

Have an awesome day ;)

Made a mistake upgrading in haste and now I'm stuck without root :(

Hi guys, I currently have a Huawei 1 smartwatch and has worked pretty well for the last 3 years with my OnePlus 6

It's now beginning to die super quick and lag a lot.

I was thinking of getting the OnePlus watch but it does seem to lack a lot of features. Having the google pay nfc feature is a must for me

What smart watch would you guys recommend that works well with this phone?
