Yep. Absolutely clean install and factory reset here.

I use Google to back up every thing it can - WiFi, photos, contacts etc.

Also use the OP6 backup and copy it off the phone as double security.

Google gives me the choice of 3 phones to restore from. This OP6, and two prior HTC'S.

This time I didn't let it restore anything apart from contacts.

This was so I could both see what stock was really like, and test WiFi hotspot and USB tethering, both which worked in 5.1.11 but not on all 3 of the open betas. Still don't work for me either and I need them, so I'm as exasperated about that as the other dudes are about the latency / lag. It's probably there a bit but not anyway near enough for me to even notice, let alone consider an issue. Funny how we all have different issues. Sometimes I think it's country and carrier related. I'm in Oz on Telstra. VoLTE is the other thing that refuses to work on the OP6 with Telstra.

I'm not sure whether I should stay stock until the production Android 9 is out, then start adding things then, or add twrp, kernel and ROM now to see if I get tether and hotspot back.....

Fantastic device the OP6 - we are so spoilt with all the choices we can make.

Is switching to open beta 3 from stable 5.1.11 without loosing data possible?

Hi, could anyone please tell whether I can install open beta 3 without loosing my apps/data on top of 5.1.11.

My phone is rooted with magisk and twrp installed.

Can I just dirty flash the open beta 3 full ROM,flash twrp and finally magisk??

Has anybody tried doing this??

[MENTION=6204031]nightfury04[/MENTION] c'mon, read the thread, the answer to this question has already been at least a dozen times

yes You can, dirty flash works as always
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Terrigible:
It didn't work for me though. Maybe it was because I was rooted. I don't know.

I'm a Gaming Youtuber playing Have games ....by my problem is while trying to Screen record plus discord app my phone freeze ....but when I recording without discord app it's working perfectly......? It's same problem with pie too ( tried Hard reset too )
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
I've bought and flashed my OP6 two days ago and I feel that multitasking is improving, probably thanks / due to the new pie features about battery life. (Adaptive battery is on in battery settings).

I think now I'm quite happy with it, I haven't found any bugs, all is very smooth and fast. I like OOS, it's close enough to AOSP to be enjoyable.

My only disappointment is battery life (I already have some battery wear because it's second hand), but I guess at least I have a headphone jack :D.

Have just flashed the beta 3 in TWRP. No data loss and apps are all still available but come from Beta 2. Think about it when you get from OOS 5.1.11 it will not be any different.

Beta 3 flashed in TWRP

then TWRP-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.85_op6.zip

and Magisk-v17.1.zip

System reboot

Everything went well, everything was still there

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
Guessing here but it looks like a caching issue. Are you rooted with TWRP installed? If do try wiping cache/davlik for a possible resolve
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
Yep, and if this isn't enough your only chance is wipe data I guess :/ .
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ippolito1971:
Well that's another alternative for him. He can backup app data in titanium to save the hassle then start fresh.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Will008:
Not sure if this is related or may solve your issue but earlier today I was surprised my 128GB were almost full I did a scan and with an app called disk usage and it shows that 14GB were used by image cache in the OnePlus folder in the internal memory. Initially I wanted to wipe app cache which isn't an option in the storage menu in Android P anymore, so I just deleted them all manually. So I have around 18GB of photos and media and that was an additional 14 GB for their cache!!!.

Generally if apps cache are not deleted automatically I can see this creating a problem down the line.

GPS not working. Only with DATA ON. Try OSMAND app:

DATA-OFF, GPS-ON - Position not yet know

DATA-ON, GPS-ON - Working well
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] thugslug:
Err .. Phone GPS needs a data connection. Yes the satellites provide position info, but a data connection is required to position you on a map,get GPS metadata, eg download agps data etc.

Purpose built satellite nav units like Garmin work differently to mobiles. The entire map is previously loaded in the navman, along with other data. This isn't the case with phones.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GedZju:
Osmand is offline navigation app. It works on stable rom without DATA ON

I'm definitely clean flashing when stable hits. Everyone should do it IMO when coming from beta/unstable to stable software release
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BossNexusS:
I think the drain might be related to alarms.. Do you have an alarm set up? Try turning off the alarm for when you don't need it and see what happens overnight

Guys is it just me or does Chrome run like crap on Android P Open Beta 3? Google app and Chrome are simply not running smooth. I switched to Samsung Internet Browser, but I don't remember Chrome being this bad on OOS 5.1.11. Touch latency and scrolling performance are pretty bad IMHO.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] refedit:
Sorry but chrome is crap. Opera runs better
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
It's a general issue not just chrome, but the rom itself. Eagerly waiting for beta 4 to see if they resolve this latency problem, in other aspects this rom is much more stable than the stable oreo roms of some other companies! But the performance issues are holding this rom back
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GedZju:
Once again I cleared cache and GPS it's working now. Thank you ;)

Is V4A working on OB3?

I have it installed and it's not doing anything even though it's updated.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Punkid:
I got the OP6 recently and i didnt use Oreo much to get a feel for it, and i went straight to OOS Pie Betas. Can you confirm that the touch latency problem is a ROM issue and not something with the phone/hardware itself? Can you surely say that touch latency is better on 5.1.11 compared to the current beta 3 for example?

Also, do you know if the latency problem exists on other Pie ROMs like Lineage?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
It was nowhere near as bad on Oreo. It wasn't great but Pie is much, much worse.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
Well this is not a place to answer this questions but i answer as a user and my perspective.

This is completely a software issue, there is an obvious latency difference between oreo and pie roms(it doesn't mean oreo is good!) but it's obvious.

As far as i tested yes it's somehow the same with other roms too. Maybe because of the same kernel source?! I don't know. And mate as a flashoholic geek! And just as a user, i don't recommend using other roms other than oos open beta and stable as others have less performance much more bugs and instability like camera etc... .

It's not hardware it's software. If you you are like me a sensitive person to latency and response time and want a little! better latency performance(which because pie rom is horrible it's obvious in oreo!) install oreo. 5.1.11 and wait till they rectify this issue in next updates (eagerly waiting for beta 4! Hoping to see better latency performance)

Again latency is different than smoothness, lag, and jitter. They are all different.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mhajii210:
Not only do I have latency issues, but I'm also getting frame drops here and there when touch scrolling. You can test it yourself by turning on Profile GPU rendering in Developer options, going to the Google app as an example, and touch scrolling quickly up and down. That's why I'm also getting slight jittering when scrolling, especially on JavaScript heavy websites, along with the latency issue.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Will008:
I'm not saying there is no touch latency on the open betas; However on MY device it is not nearly as bad as what you are mentioning. I honestly do not feel it to be more than the Oreo roms and if it is then it's marginally higher that I cannot even tell for sure.

On open beta 2 it was definitely there during charging and I confirmed that in an earlier post.

I did a comparison between my OP6 and my wife's iPhone 6S running IOS 9 (I told her not to upgrade it ever cause I could tell apple was slowing down phones and messing with their batteries years ago). Touch latency between the OP6 and the iPhone 6s is very comparable. Yes the OP6 is behind but it's so marginal that you can only tell after a few minutes of testing.

Also did a comparison between the OP6 and my old Nexus 6P, OP6 came out better.

Just to confirm, you do know that magnification gestures increase touch latency a lot?

Again I'm not saying that what you are seeing isn't there cause quite simply it could be isolated to specific units or due to flashing sequence or something.

For anyone thats getting corrupt device/red text during boot after flashing this beta or any other I have figured the only solution I know of possible atm to get around it so you can have beta's without the error. You will need to use the unbrick tool to totally clear your device from anything that is causing the issue and after that update your phone through settings as normal with no issue. Here is the tool and info for anyone who needs it:

Camera is worst. Also network issues what in 5.1.11 was fixed..
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dante_nfs:
From what i see, i think they updated the touch hardwares firmware (digitizer...) in pie as the screen is much more accurate and registers the taps much more sensitive not with lower latency but completely registering all taps(i mean with the taping the screen as in oreo there were some times which taps would not register)

But the latency gone up like crazy(not because of the firmware but software) , so they didn't optimized the software yet. As for frame drops, this is android! At its core it does have some big performance issues, And i nearly gave up on performance of android and thinking about going back to ios(my nitpicking and seeing the performance and latency problems comes from using ios devices specially ios 12 on my iphone 8 plus one of the smoothest and lowest latency devices I've ever used)

They can rectify this issues for sure but it needs more time and dedication which i don't know they have it or not. The good thing about OP is we can complain to them directly and be in touch with them. Like this posts we send on xda or OP forum.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

Mate really thank you for being polite and respectful, such a good xda user and logical. Bravo.

I really respect what you said but i tested other op6 devices and i could see that it's there. Yes i know any accessibility service adds to latency so i always disable them.

As a ios programmer and a user with experience i really recommend you to update your wife's 6s to ios 12(clean install or factory reset and not using backup) and get a huge performance and latency:) upgrade and make this device work much better for years to come. Apple changed a lot under the hood of ios 12.which of course here is not a place to talk about :D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BossNexusS:

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Will008:
Thanks man, I always thought that xda is the place for intelligent respectful conversations and healthy debates. I'll take your advice with updating my wife's iPhone, thanks for that.

To be honest I'm not so impressed with the OP6 generally because of the camera quality. The GCam port gave me some hope it would become better but sadly the main developer Arnova8G2 had an accident and will take time off from development, his efforts were great and may he get well soon. Thinking about getting the pixel 3XL when it comes out just cause I think the OP6 camera is worse than my 3 years old Nexus 6P. Sorry if this is a bit off topic.

From all the devices I had, I think this device with last beta (and flash kernel? I think it made it even better but it was already very good) is the smoothest and fastest I ever had (you can check my signature :p ).

Thanks for your descriptive response. I just want to make sure we're referring to the same thing as latency: I feel it when scrolling in chrome and instagram for example. And it becomes more apparent when you scroll WHILE the page is still scrolling. I feel the touch latency is only apparent while scrolling, otherwise touch events are registered fine and fast. And yes lag and jitter are something else entirely.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomatot-:
I can't tell you about huge improvements since I was already very happy with it, however I can assure you it can only beneficial and I don't see any drawbacks. It's only positive to me. It's worth to give it a try.
