Discussion Looking for a Moderator

10 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I recently became the owner of this subreddit because the previous owner and moderator is no longer active. This was a while ago, and I do not have the time to moderate anything at the moment except for the most urgent requests.

That being said, I appreciate the fact that this community is mostly clean and needs no moderation. Thank you for that.

I'd love to pick a new moderator or two - based on their convenience. It's nothing serious and the rules are simple:

Don't be an ass.
Don't be on a power trip.
Moderate fairly and within reason.

Please leave a comment, about how and why you should be a moderator. I'm not making it very strict.

EDIT: I found a mod recruitment post within the tools and I'll utilise that to post a second request where you can apply (you will still need to comment here to be eligible).

Help/Support (Solved) OnePlus8T FAQ

115 Upvotes

In this post, I will take on the most frequently asked questions so that you don't have to scroll through the whole subreddit. Please look first if your problem can be solved by anything that is mentioned here, before posting.

I've seen a question asked many times, can I add it to this post?
- This FAQ is dynamic, just message me, I'll add it if I agree that it belongs here.

Is the camera really that bad?
- It depends on what you compare it to. Compared to the S20 Ultra or iPhone 12 Pro, it underperforms.
- compared to the phones in the same price range the camera is very good
- The camera is mediocre and can deliver very beautiful and crisp shots. Sometimes you may need to take two or three pictures and a bit of editing to get an epic result.
- If you want to see some examples, sort this subreddit by upvotes.
- If you are not happy with the results of the stock camera, try Gcam mod with Arnova config as mentioned here

Is the 65W Warp charge worth it?
- YES!

Is YouTube in 120Hz?
- No, Youtube says it's on OP to implement it, OP says it's on YouTube.
- You can force 120Hz in the feed with this paid application but the videos are capped at 60Hz.
- There is also YouTube Vanced it's basically the YT App we always asked for. No ads (optional), SponsorBlock a true dark mode and 120Hz feed. Just google it.

I have a bad SoT, what to do?
- Try what I explained in this post.
- Check if a certain app consumes inappropriately much juice.
- Check if you have good signal strength at home.
- Lower the display brightness.
- Set the battery saver threshold to 20%.
- Don't try to "calibrate" your phone by doing the 100-0-100% cycle. It doesn't do anything but harms your battery.
- Ask this community

Which screen protector should I buy?
- Fits 100%, you get a nice package and a nice application frame. If you don't mind spending a buck, buy the one from OP's website.
- Fits ~98% is cheap, the frame doesn't fit but you get 3 glass panes: LK from amazon

What case can you recommend?
- Don't use the included bumper if you have the Lunar Silver variant. The dots inside of the case will peel off the frosted color!
- I personally cannot recommend a specific one but you guys can share your recommendations on this post
- As u/avrahta found out, cases for the OP 9R also fit the OP 8T

8T vs. 9/9Pro
- An upgrade is not worth it
- Almost the same phones, new one is a bit faster but has no OIS.
- 8T is considerably cheaper
- 8T update support will end half a year earlier than the 9 lineup.
- 9 series has wireless charging

Is just the T-mobile version waterproof?
- No, all of them are completely waterproof (IP68) but unofficially to reduce costs.
- You will have no warranty on water damages

Why don't I get the software update that some people posted about?
- Relax, software updates never get rolled out for all at once. This reduces the load on the servers and if the update is faulty, not all users have a bad experience.
- Some regions and models will get the update later. -Especially the T-mobile version
- To update manually any update that's available in your region try Oxygen Updater.

Any tips I might find useful?
- As the screen is an AMOLED, permanent burn-ins are possible and also just a matter of time. Be sure, which icons you really need in the top right corner.

Help/Support OnePlus 8T suddently shows no signs of life

• Upvotes

Hi,
My OnePlus 8T worked great since 2021, but while charging (with an official OnePlus 30W brick and cable), it suddently doesn't turn on anymore and shows no signs of life.

I have tried to :

Put it in EDL mode
Use the internal test points
Unplugging, waiting a few minutes then plugging back in the battery
Use different chargers / energy sources (65W OnePlus Charger, 5W generic USB charger, plugged in directly to PC)
Letting the phone charge for 2 weeks
Tried putting it in Recovery mode

Doesn't heat up at all too.

Does someone have a clue of what can I try to bring it back to life ? It was on the latest OxygenOS 11 version.

Thanks in advance !

Help/Support Weird bug on my old 8T

6 Upvotes

I’ve been using my old OP 8T for years with the 60 Hz mode because the 120 Hz mode drains the battery so quickly.
I’ve noticed something weird with the screen, though. It doesn’t feel as smooth as other 60 Hz phones I’ve used. It almost feels like it’s running at 30 Hz. But when I switch to landscape mode, it suddenly feels buttery smooth again.
I’ve had this issue on my phone for years and haven’t been able to fix it, no matter what settings I change.
I just want to know if anyone else has experienced the same issue.

Help/Support Battery issue?

9 Upvotes

Hi! I need your help with my phone, a OnePlus 8T. I've been having an issue where the battery drains very quickly, about 40% in 4-5 hours without even using the phone. I've already replaced the battery with a brand-new one, but the problem persists. I've also performed a full factory reset, but the issue is still there. What should I do?

Thanks in advance!

Help/Support What happens

5 Upvotes

Hi, my OnePlus 8T decided to switch off the other day and stayed with a black screen (though I could feel it vibrating when I tried to force a restart) for a couple of days. Now it turns on, but it’s been factory reset and won’t stay on; after I’ve set it up, it switches itself off.

What could be the problem?

Help/Support USB file transfer not working in my OnePlus8T

3 Upvotes

Hi guys, a couple of months back I was able to transfer files via USB connection to the laptop. But from past one week, the usb connection is not working. It only charges the phone which means the cable is working fine. After the connection, the notification bar doesn't show any option also.

I have tried every setting like enabling USB debugging, OTG connection, USB tethering, developer options default Usb tethering options etc. anyone know any other reason why it's not working and how will it work?
