Update on my Google Play Music battery drain.

Switched back to the T-MObile ROM, rooted it, etc. No excessive drain now.

I'll just stick with the T-Mobile build for now.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
How did you root the T-Mobile version? I thought the bootloader was locked on the T-Mobile firmware.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Its only locked if you dont unlock it ;) I SIM unlocked by erasing modemst1 and modemst2. This allowed me to bypass the 40 day wait. My device is paid for in full but you still have the 40 day wait.

Once I was sim unlocked i followed the instructions from OnePlus to unlock the T-Mobile Device:

How to unlock bootloader for OnePlus 6T (T-Mobile edition)

It took a week to get my unlock tocken but I am fully unlocked, with legit T-Mobile firmware.

And my battery is GREAT. I looked at the Music app and it hasnt been updated so something that OnePlus is doing to this build and the Beta 7 is certainly causing an issue with Play Music. There can be no other variables other than the OS Version. None! Same music, same headphones, etc.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] astracd:
I check my battery usage and the apps that are working in background. I did restrict some of them to not run in background.

One of problematic ones is Gboard (keyboard). I did restrict it, but still running in background for 15 hours from when I last charge my phone. WTH.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lendawg:
This app will always run In The background there's nothing you can do to stop it as you need a keyboard. However, I noticed that it was draining more battery then usual after the March 1st update so I uninstalled updates and that solved the problem. No more severe battery drain from Gboard. Also you can try the Gboard beta and see if that's any better. Hope this helps.

Wait so new stable build is out?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Soon.

Like this week, soon.

H20 stable is out. Which is what Oxygen will be based on.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No, stable h2os. For Chinese market, its the same as OOS just with Chinese apps and play store, they have tons of censorship so it's different, just a bit. Software wise its a match...dirty flash install from oos9.0.12 local upgrade, then delete Chinese apps. Or flash clean, use China market to install play store. If u are beta, keep openbeta8

Sounds like he dirty flashed over 9.0.12 the H2os which is already updated to the new stable .13.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Gotcha, I see now.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] the.emilio:
I kinda want to try it lol. But my TMobile build I went back to is running so smooth on battery. On 9.0.12 I would've already been charging my phone. Currently at 46% with 5hr SOT. I never got more than 3.5 -4 hours on 9.0.12 or beta 7 for my SOT. Are you going to try it?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] astracd:
I don't see reason why keyboard is running in background while screen is off.

I actually switch to beta few days ago, it is same thing. will try this now to see if it makes difference...

I see lots of people have problem with gboard draining battery...

Guys, i have been noticing that the battery section into settings suggests me to stop the app "Contacts" from causing excessive battery usage but nowhere in the battery stats i see it having a high percentual, infact it doesn't show up at all.

Is it a bug? My battery life is still solid after two weeks, i guess i can just ignore it, right?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] efkka23:

For me it was a psecific issue with Google Play Music. If I didint use that my battery life would be great.

Now on Beta 8 I am back to normal battery drain.

That's why I use tidal
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dopamin3:
Still no stable update. Looks like my next phone will be a pixel. I shouldn't have to run custom ROMs or beta software to be semi-current on updates and security patches. No excuse when this device has A/B partitioning and project treble support. Even if OnePlus is working on features that aren't 100% stable yet, just update the security patch level FFS and keep your testing in the beta channel. Let's see updates maybe not every month but every 2 months.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] astracd:
I was thinking same thing. I support oneplus from beginning, but larger they become they are more greedy for money, and giving less and less support... Concentrating on new customers, forgetting existing users. I had oneplus one, still have 2 and 3, had 5 and now upgraded to 6T... but next phone for sure will be pixel...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ecotrojan:
finally..... this is the issue
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] g_oral:
My phone is alarming security problems due to old security patch. Thanks Oneplus for no updates. Its good to be vulnerable to hacker attacks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] fogame:
Calm down my fellow android user. Unless you are doing things that warrant a hacker to gain access to your phone, you are fine. Beta has the latest security patch and runs pretty smooth. OP is pushing out updates as they go. Not every company is perfect. Just be patient and roll with it.

That's all. Good day to you.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
You're right fogame, and it's getting ridiculous.

Last update was Jan update. The next stable update will be any day now with the March update. H²O stable is out, which means the Oxygen update will come out literally any day now. Yet people complain complain complain.

They are late on their two month update cycle by a few weeks and everyone acts like the world is going to end and their super important data on their phone is going to be hacked.

If people care this much about monthly updates, why aren't you on beta? Why don't you have a pixel? It's the same thing over and over on a thread that's not even designed for this. Google has been late on updates in the past as well. (Go talk to anyone who had a Nexus 7 2nd gen LTE.)

The update is coming. It's coming out any day now. And as soon as it comes, people are going to complain it's the March security patches and not April. Again, if the security patches are that important, go get a Pixel device and get updates from the source. This is actually my first phone that wasn't a Google device, and the frequency of updates is pretty much the lowest thing on my complaint list. Camera and features are way higher on the list for me.

Anyways, I can't wait for stable to come out. I hope it uses the same animations that beta uses. It makes it seem like a much higher quality phone with them.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I told everyone how to update. H2os is the same as oos, dirty flash and all the Chinese goes away. .. then I would locally upgrade ob8, then if u want stable not beta, swap back to other slot and now u have the newest available
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] giovaorama:
Two month cycle with a few weeks delay easily became three month cycle. :)

Betas are betas and they are for people that have a lot of free time.

Anyway with the actual stable I don't any significant problems or at least nothing that my daily usage may evidence (obviusly i really hate the delayed notifications with some apps and that some app not whitelisted by oneplus are closed after about 15 minutes that they run in background like mi fit app).

Anyway I always had nexus phones since i have a smartphone, i like the google experience but i will never spend 1000 euros or more for a pixel smartphone, so this time bye bye Google and hello to OnePlus.

I guess none of you ever owned a HTC or Samsung. Ya'll are whining about security updates. "Where are my security updates??? I'm whining because OnePlus promised updates every 2 months". They are like what 2 weeks to a month behind. Please stop complaining, they won't come any faster.

You told us we will get the stable update this week but we are already Friday and still no sign of it

Because it's Friday not Monday next week :laugh:

And he said they will try. He never stated that for 100% it's coming this week. Just flash the beta guys and stop spamming :P
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vegetaleb:
Flashing beta and return to stable means wiping data, no thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
I read that it is possible if the security patch of the stable release is the same or newer than the beta.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] arifnasirshaikh:
Guys stop complaining.

Thread is filled with crybaby.

People want latest security patch but they don't want to switch to beta wow.

And for people you are scared they will get hacked should get off internet.

You guys have two options switch to beta which is what i did and it is running perfectly fine without any issues.

Or change your device.

Stop the negative comments.

Stop targeting each other.

Learn to have patience. Peace [emoji3577]

Anyone with McLaren Edition on 9.0.12 have this issue?

Need for Speed No Limits stays on this black and loading screen forever.

Had this issue on 9.0.11 too
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Jank4AU:
Look guys, if it's that all important to you to have the most current security update, OP has provided you a path to get it. Flash the Beta. However, if you can't be inconvenienced with having to set up your data, then that's your fault and you have to ask yourself just how much does it really mean to you.

Some of us need to grow up a little bit and have some patience. I'm sure you're going to be more satisfied/happy with a slightly delayed release that is truly stable than you would be with a rushed update that introduces new bugs or issues. So they're a few weeks late...better to have OP to be late than your girlfriend! :highfive: Have some perspective, people.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] arifnasirshaikh:
Impatience?? Huh??

Tell me other than security patch what else problem do you have?? Is your phone running too slow?

You want update just for the update sake?

I'm not defending oneplus.

But often updates introduces bugs.

Slow update is better than no updates.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vegetaleb:
BUGS! From 9.0.12

-Double tap to wake sometimes become 4 even 6 times to wake

-Battery sot went down from 10 to 7 hours

-rebooting the phone can end up with an unlockable screen, it needs another reboot
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] H4X0R46:
Yeah the tap to wake has become a bit annoying to me too. I'm also always hoping they add a feature to disable those annoying dots on new apps when you install them. It's unnecessary.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bradhoschar:
Unbelievable. I still can't believe the complaining is going on.

The static options are:

Wait for stable

Or

Nope. Works fine here. Stable 9.0.12

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hartleyshc:
Try with a VPN instead of changing your DNS. If it works with a VPN, you'll know there's a server somewhere being blocked by your ISP/Carrier.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] yoahmad1995:
Still the same though.

On the side note before I get the bashing the security patch would be March

And some bug fixes under the hood along with the bug tracker addition on the feedback tool, but none the less, still an update :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kacarot:
I do not care about the issue of the patch that I think will not prevent absolutely anything that is March or April, but I'm very curious to know why they never add last patch? So much work do you suppose? Or the rom is ready weeks ago? Why is not the Last added or that it be to please the vast majority?

regards

Stable builds have to go through the cts and lot of other certifications which take weeks sometimes so that is one of the reason for delay also now that the development is unified 6T T-Mobile and some other EU regional certifications also have to be passed before the push of a new stable.

Stick with beta if you want the latest patch. Stable will mostly stay a month behind. Current beta is 4 builds ahead of stable and alpha more so than beta.

Thanks for the explanation ..... I will pass it to colleagues in other forums that have complaints and it is understandable. Since I am with OP, I always use betas because I prefer to stay ahead and enjoy the news. Personally, I do not care about the security patch, since I think it's pure placebo minus 2 or 3 a year that will be worth it .... There are much greater dangers in the Internet !

Just turn your VPN (Germany) and do and update. then I flashed it in twrp ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kk12002:
ota
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Heads Up: As always OTA will be a stage rollout. I would recommend everyone not to use the VPN as there may be certain carrier based certifications based on every region US/EU/IN so let the OTA hit your region. After who months of waiting another 48-72 hours of waiting should not make a difference IMO.

Full zip will be shared once someone is able to capture the link which can also be flashed to reduce errors.

As always please remove all the mods before you do the OTA, unlocked/rooted users use the full zip instead of the incremental and dont forget to clear cache after the OTA for a smoother effortless transition and OOS FSE :good:
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
can you also link it in the other thread with the instructions on converting from tmobile to intl.

thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] idkwhothatis123:
I tried reading through this but I'm not finding the exact answer.

Stock global unrooted. Can I just flash the incremental update through local update in settings?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] iaTa:
Yep, put the OTA in the root of your internal storage and use the local update facility.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] szmere:
[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION]

Would it be beneficial to include the steps to update to 9.0.6 for devices that did not flash twrp? Folks are saying to use this method:

Open Magisk

Tap "Uninstall" and tap "Restore Images"

Go to system update and download full OTA (automatically download full 1.5gb+ since root will be detected)

Close all background apps

Open Magisk again

Tap "Install" and tap "install" again, then tap "Install to Second Slot (After OTA)"

Finally tap Reboot after installation is complete
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Nice :good:

Not recommended as TWRP is not yet compatible.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Funk Wizard:
Ok i shall update this on OP. This was basically used for users who rooted device with modified boot initially without twrp and since then they use this method to maintain root without flashing twrp. So they stay stock recovery and rooted at the same time :good:

Edit: Post 3 updated with flashing instructions.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] combat goofwing:
I have a unlocked stock device in the UK running on 9.0.5 so I take it I can expect this update any time soon? Didn't know about the hold restart thanks ,still can't figure out how to do a force restart if the phone freezes,holding in power button for 10-15 secs does nothing .

How can I update to 9.0.6 if I'm a T-Mobile flashed with international 9.0.5?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] J_Force:
[MENTION=6143932]Funk Wizard[/MENTION] I am first time OP and OOS user. I used the TWRP bluspark + Magisk to root like in the XDA video and thread. Does the instruction for rooted users apply to my situation? So Magisk uninstall by Magisk Manager, then OTA update (no download full zip myself and put on my 6T) then install Magisk by Magisk manager?

A long time ago I rooted al my devices but then OTA was no longer possible.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] headcreepz:

For what it's worth... I wasn't able to use the small OTA to update to 9.0.6 on my rooted 6t (using the Magisk A/B) method. I needed to use the full zip. I thought technically it might work, but it didn't.

No Biggie... But had to download the full large zip.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jan_droid:
Does it wipe the phone?
