I don't know if it's the latency or something else, but the moment you flash a custom Pie rom it's visible that they are way snappier when you interact with them, and you can notice a difference when you switch back to OOS. I'm not sure if the case was the same with Oreo OOS and Oreo custom roms but it makes no sense that OxygenOS of a device with the slogan "the speed you need" gets its ass handed to it by bare AOSP roms without much device-specific modifications.

Is Oneplus intentionally slugging the phone down as the 6T is coming out? :silly:
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] nitinvaid:
is there any way we can use google dialer in any of the OOS roms?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
You can replace the dialer with Google one in xXx Rom for example
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joakimbo:
Can someone else please post their full battery stats? Last betas I'm having bad standby drain (almost same as usage) and android system and wifi is always on top with wifi and location off.

Something weird going on? Tried clearing cache etc.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thugslug:
I use gsam, and overnight it uses as low as 3 to 4% over an 8 or so hour night.

The stats in the morning say between 0.3 to 0.5% per hour.

I sleep 8 or 9 hours. If I charge before bed it usually says 96% in the morning.

I'll get a screen shot in the next day or so

I'm on OB4, blu spark TWRP 9.86, Magisk 17.2, blu spark kernel and Magisk settings module. All latest versions.

I don't have wifi on overnight and don't use Facebook, which I think helps.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcmE85:
There are possibly other non-root methods, but as far as I know these don't have all features working.

This is how I am using the Google Dialer on OOS Pie with Magisk 17.2:

- in Magisk search for "Google Framework" by P1N2O and install it (currently v1.2.4)

- clear Play Store App Data and reboot your device

- go into the Play Store and install the Google Dialer (it will show up now when searching for it)

- enable it as your default dialer in the settings

- disable the stock dialer app with e.g. Titanium Backup (not doing this will make it flash briefly during the call animation on outgoing calls)

Everything works, no issues whatsoever doing this and you will also get continuous updates via Play Store.

edit: for non-root users see the post below

Which custom rom is this? My phone is slow and laggy on lineageos and omnirom, i think my problems started after i flashed rollback to oreo. Now lags on oos too but its still way snappier than custom roms.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirey:
Hi guys.

Is adaway still working for you?

Since ob4, the hosts file is still replaced but I see advertisement in nearly every app.

It seems to be that the hosts file is not queried anymore.

No change when activating seemless hosts integration in magisks.

Strange
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeik:
I came from OB4 to HavocOS and then flashed Omni ( both were clean flashes ) and everything is snappy.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SOCOM-HERO:
I'm on OOS Stable 9.0 rooted, full flashed file about two weeks ago. Phone is rock solid. What changed in OB4? I saw the changelog in the OP, but never had any of those issues. Is there going to be continual betas or eventually just OTAs?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joakimbo:
OOS beta branch is a separate from stable. You get features earlier for the sake of stability (even though the betas is extremely stable imo).
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] memocatcher:
Noticed that as well. It says in the app that 2/3 host sources are enabled. Before Ob4 it was always 3/3.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] speedytr:

[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] I did a roll back from Beta #4 to 5.1.11 and everything went fine. But now when I boot from patched boot image, Magisk manager only shows uninstall option. So, unable to install Magisk. Should I do a clean install now? How can I fix it? Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Burt Squirtz:
lol why would your revert back to Oreo. OB4 is fantastic...
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
I have my reasons. :)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
You are lucky to have your data in tact while moving from OB4 to 5.1.11, As it's a change of Android version clean flash is always recommended.

Copy all data and clean flash, you can also use the rollback build which is build to format your phone automatically and clean install 5.1.11 and then u csn ota up to pie if you want or stay on 5.1.11 if you have some intent to stick to Oreo.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
No, I am not that lucky. All data was wiped. I backed up using titanium backup. But now to install backup, I need root. And at the moment I am unable to install Magisk. I tried on both 5.1.11 and 9.0 but same result. When I boot using patched boot image, Magisk manager shows invalid update path and there is an option to uninstall Magisk. I just installed TWRP and wiped everything. Now flashing 5.1.11 again (because I have it downloaded). After that I will update to Pie and then will try to install Magisk again.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Burt Squirtz:
I'm curious to know what those reasons are, seeing as how Pie is superior in almost every way.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Still no luck. :(

This is what I get when I boot from patched boot image.

Any suggestions?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] alirey:
Didn't work. The given path is offline.

Reinstalled adaway and block function is back.

Thx anyway
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BossNexusS:
If you can boot twrp why not just flash magisk from there? Instead of the app
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Tried but same issue.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrigible:
As you can see, the patched boot image is perfect. Invalid update channel is usually network side. Maybe your network somehow blocks Magisk update channel. Try other networks. Check all your Magisk Manager settings. If you are using patched boot image method because of dm-verity or force encryption, you can actually set the settings in TWRP Terminal.

For dm-verity,

echo KEEPVERITY=false>>/data/.magisk

echo KEEPVERITY=true>>/data/.magisk

For force encryption,

echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=false>>/data/.magisk

echo KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=true>>/data/.magisk

After using the required commands, flash Magisk in TWRP. It will flash in accordance to the settings made.

EDIT:true=check false=nocheck
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
Thanks! It was indeed due to my network. Somehow github doesn’t seem to be loading properly on my network. Tried other internet connection and it works fine now.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Flash the Magisk manually via twrp and use the stable version
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GizmoFreak:
It was actually an issue with my network. Somehow it was not loading GitHub properly. Now everything seems to be working fine.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
For me OOS is faster and a lot more stable than any Pie custom rom. Every Pie custom rom I've tried had a lot of bugs. I know it's still early as Pie is still relatively new but OOS is awesome. Kudos to OnePlus for releasing a great Pie rom and adding more features in.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeik:
And for me the bugs were only present on things I didn't need in the first place but the UI speed was significantly better.

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AcmE85:
I was almost about to do another clean flash to see if it might fix it. Thanks for letting me know and saving me some hassle.

Besides that it runs great so far. I hope third party launchers will adapt to Pie quickly (new animations and gesture integration).

What I noticed is that they tuned down the camera oversharpening a little.

Can't really say if it is better or worse yet.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BossNexusS:
Yeah I figured it out.. It was the stereo sound mod that was the cause. Removed that and Bluetooth audio is working again.

What about nfc though? The option stays greyed out for me I can't even tick it to turn it on

I hate recent apps horizontally. When will we have recent apps vertically? This mischaracterized android.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pumpino:
What is the recent apps menu like in this beta? Is it identical to AOSP Pie with horizontal cards and you have to scroll all the way to the left to see "Clear All", or has OP customised it in some way?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kir3:
It crashes for me too, but if you had it enabled in Oreo, still works, but bugged.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joeb690:
Clear all is available as soon as you enter the recent apps menu.

Correction; I am using nova Launcher and it shows the clear all option straight away, but I'm the stock launcher it only shows up at the end. Recent menu is smoother in stock.

Hi guys. I dirty flashed to Open Beta 4 from Android 9 Stable. My scrolling, especially touch scrolling, turned choppy and laggy. I did a full wipe, reflashed just in case, and everything is perfect so far. I personally do see a slight improvement in touch scrolling and scrolling in general on Open Beta 4. It just seems smoother to me on this build. I updated last night so I will have to test things out a bit more, but so far this has been the best OOS build for me on my device. So the moral of the story is... be sure to do a proper wipe if you are having any problems before reaching a conclusion about Open Beta 4.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] robertusIT:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhajii210:
Guys I think I jinxed myself. Everything was running great, but then I was using my phone at the mall (LTE / data looked fine) and touch scrolling became laggy with latency fluctuating from normal to crap and back to normal etc. I tested the latency using Multi Touch Test by Spencer Studios and it would occasionally jump when touching the display and sliding it up and down, and the touch latency would get worse and then go back to normal. I'm still on Open Beta 4 and now at home it's back to normal. It seems I spoke to soon. If it happens again I'm switching back to Stable. I will continue to test, but at home now I'm not able to reproduce it. Maybe some background process (location scanning or something else) was messing things up.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
This was what we were talking before, inconsistent touch latency is one of the issues too as i mentioned earlier. This will get worse! Try some apps like Spotify, you will see it much more obvious
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhajii210:
The thing is I'm really getting tired of wiping. Each time I have to factory reset my Wear OS watch. Were you able to dirty flash from Open Beta 4 back to Stable, or did you have to wipe?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
You have to wipe for downgrade , but there are other ways to not losing your data

The beta program doesn't stop just because a stable was released........ There's always work to do...... There will always be the next beta, or the next stable.

In battery stats, are you guys having android system on top? In the last betas it was way down the list, now it's the main battery drain. Checked my phone for wakelocks, it deep sleeps perfectly well. Though I experience worse battery life.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] kage00:
I agree, it's not really the right terminology. There's beta builds up until there's a stable build elsewhere in the world of Android. Once there is stable official build, beta builds shouldn't be called beta anymore (especially as people are saying they are more stable than the stable build...).

They should be called nightly builds or weekly builds like Lineage OS calls them
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
No, Android System isn't even in the list. I can get between 6 1/2 and 7 hours of screen on time on OB4.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joakimbo:
This is my typical stats. Don't know if it's because of standby or if this is some drain?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
It could be an app that is contributing to the Android System high usage. I didn't wipe when I flashed OB4 over stable Pie so I don't think a clean flash is necessary but maybe you should try it and see if you see anything different.

Same issue using gesture controls app. only happens when the navbar is set to gesture control in settings. when its set to either fixed or pie gestures, the back action works fine. always worked for me even on OB3, issue only started after OB4. Really a bummer considering there hasn't been a way to get rid of the navbar completely since like Android N.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
I have no issues with the Gestures on OB4, they work the same as they did on Oreo. Have you tried setting the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1 in the system/build.prop and the vendor/build.prop? It's actually already in both of them just change it from 0 to 1.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Will008:
I'm using the app "OnePlus gestures" from the play store on top on selecting the gestures in OOS settings. Let's me add more gestures. I added a swipe a swipe left gesture for "previous app" and a swipe right gesture for "assistant". You can add a whole bunch of other gestures with different actions too. Working great so far.

Typically on another phone with a nav bar you should download another app called "hide nav bar" but I've found that selecting gestures in OOS plus setting up the app OnePlus gestures work together without problems.

I even set my old Nexus 6P with the same setup as I cannot stand seeing a nav bar on a phone anymore.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJFox78:
does the back action work for you with any third party apps when you have navigation gestures enabled (and therefore the navbar hidden)?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
I have an app that is supposed to launch from a hidden active area on the screen. On OOS 9 Pie, as soon as I placed my finger on the active area, it opened the app. With Beta 4, I must press AND RELEASE from the touch before the app is opened. It is easily observed, because I have 2 OP6 phones... one with OOS 9 Pie and the other with Beta 4. I don't know if this is "touch latency", but it does make this particular app more difficult to use.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] whizeguy:
Don't have anything to do with latency. I'd say compatibility issue.

USB Tethering and Hotspot

Hi [MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION]

Since moving from v5.1.11 to the open betas, I've had trouble with wifi hotspot and USB tether. I need to use them.

During the time OB3 was current, [MENTION=3806315]jbm76[/MENTION] found a solution and posted it. It uses these commands:

Run:

adb shell settings get global tether_dun_required

Then, if the result is null or 1, set it as follows:

adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0

And then reboot.

This worked. When OB4 came out I dirty flashed it just to see how it would go. There were a few things not quite right, but USB tethering and hotspot kept working, as (I guess) their setting was preserved during the dirty flash.

I have just re-flashed OB4 with a full factory reset and format. Clean as a whistle. And guess what? USB tethering and hotspot aren't working again, and I had to repeat the commands to make them work. So it looks like whatever causes this is still in OB4.

I know 'dun' means dial up networking, and while I have no idea about the internal android architecture, I'm surprised it takes some strange setting in dun to get things working. DUN is ancient history now surely....or maybe not....?

This may not affect many users (maybe because most users may not use tethering and hotspot), but it's real for some of us.

I've tested this on 3 different PCs - two using Mint Linux 19, and one W10. Results the same on each machine.

Could you please pass this on to the OP6 team, and if a log of any sort is required, please tell me which and I'll capture and provide it.

Thanks heaps for your help.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:

Wifi login troubles

When logging in with login page to an open hotspot,the page closes but the wifi remains with '!' mark and connection stays at 4g.

Repeating the login screen will fail, as wifi is already logged in.

Only when I disconnect wifi, and reconnect, the 4g will disconnect and data will use wifi. (if the hotspot does recognize the re-login.)

This with beta4, stock, rooted with magisk 17.2

Does someone else experience the same? Or is there a solution?

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MJFox78:
I mean: are you able to invoke the back action with this app? I tried many different apps but since Android Pie no app that I tried is able to invoke the back action as long as navigation gestures are enabled in the system settings (and so the navbar is hidden)

I'm using the app "pie control" and need to turn on the navbar, otherwise pie control can not invoke the back action
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Will008:
I can invoke the back action with the gesture with and without the app on pie. Seems like a hardware issue. Try downgrading back to Oreo to confirm it works on Oreo now. I've been reading all OP6 related thread didn't come across this issue before. Let me know if you need any help man.
