First day usage

Quite impressive so far. First day usage. Received unit yesterday late afternoon. Sold my oneplus 8 pro as couldnt adjust to the curved screen. So had to choose between this, s20 fe 5g or zenfone 7 pro. This seemed to be the best in terms of price to spec ratio especially with the price I got of 450 for the 256gb variant.

This is with 120hz,full HD, GPS and Bluetooth always on although not always connected obviously. Default browser is duckduckgo.

Quite impressed. Can potentially achieve 8hrs sot on this which I would be happy with.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] stefan.irmen:
Nice words :) Same here, sold my 8Pro because of the curved screen... Great device, but for me a curved screen is no daily driver... So here we are with the 8t... ;)

RadioactiveKernel. 80% wifi 20% LTE. 120hz and auto brightness on. Mainly chrome browsing during the day.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] renehd2:
Im getting great battery life with wifi and 120hz (more than 6:30 hrs SOT), but with data and 120hz im getting very poor battery life (less than 5hrs SOT). I already disable 5G because there is no 5G in Mexico, but still getting very poor battery life on data.

Any Suggestion? advices? tricks?

thanks in advance
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] skip029:
I've had the phone a few days only but so far my log (will update again after 2 weeks):

Man I can just keep this phone at like 55% forever and the best part is that's the best thing for the battery 🔋🤠.. getting great results with stock T-Mobile rom kb2007 but overall can't wait to unlock bootloader and get jimmy with the radioactive bus.

TMO rom decent on standby you could say!
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] jfodra:
Hi, is my screen on time good or what? I've had the phone for a week now. This is all day on wifi, a lot of youtube and facebook messenger, an hour maybe of instagram and other social media, already turned off 5g, also set it to 2g/3g because I'm not really using data. Location on, aod off, 120hz on. I think I should be getting better battery, am I not?
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] chtsarts:
Just wait for a couple of weeks for the phone to settle
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] Klusio19:
Latest EvolutionX. That screenshot is all day wifi only, 120Hz only. 90% of the time watching YouTube, rest some light games and Facebook, Instagram etc.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] Klusio19:
Bruh, and how is it today brother? I feel like with today's software it's literally impossible to achieve that kind of SOT

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the OnePlus 8T's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.

[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] Shivanshpro:
It sleeps after 30 mins when i sleep
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] NaXal:
Yes, mine too sleeps after 30 mins.

Standby drain varies between 0.5% to 1.5% per hour. Some nights it's more as things gets uploaded/updated/backup and such happens.

Following stats are from my last night's usage via AccuBattery app.

Usually it's around 0.5% with Dual SIM (both running VoWiFi) & 5 GHz WiFi running.

[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] NaXal:
I am neither heavy user nor I am a light user, rather I am a typical moderate user.

Who uses this device for social apps in the morning.

Bit of Android Auto / Bluetooth musis streaming over 4G while out in car for commuting.

Moderate use of voice calls & lots of Telegram or Whatsapp message in work along with bit of emails / word / Excel / pdf viewing. Constant 5Ghz WiFi usage along with Dual SIM running VoWiFi / VoLTE

Same music streaming over 4G while returning & bit of PubG (couple of match) or CoD in evening & before bed time.

Lot of Chrome usage also for reading & browsing, like here.

Random Camera usage & editing apps like PS Express & so on.

Here are my battery stats from AccuBattery !!

I would have preferred lower screen off average, but I guess may be for music streaming it's at such 1.2% per hour.

I shall close all background apps & check at one night as how much is idle drain while the device goes into deep sleep state !!

Thanks.

P.S. For comparison, my previous daily driver, Z2 Plus with Android 11 Custom ROM used to deliver around 3h25-35mins of SoT :( & 2 year old OnePlus 6T within family is delivering similar (may be an hour less SoT) backups..

The one and only thing I want to know at this point is if this is confirmed to have a flat display or not? No curves around the edges?
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] rahul bhai:
Rahulbhai
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] techlogik:
Flat, curved kind of back.

Love the device. Probably going to ditch my iPhone XS Max I switched to 4 months ago when the last jailbreak came out. Still so much garbage, even jailbroken, the iPhone annoys me about.

The 8T is a really great looking device, the new AOD display finally!!!

Plus, you can root it, bootloader unlock, and of course run and customize your launcher.

Only ownside....5G...only TMobile at this point??? They should build the frequencies in the chip for all carriers and 5G signals like Apple did.

Problem with OnePlus again, network support not there for everybody?!?! Anybody got ideas on that or info?
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] jcsww:
I definitely prefer the flat screen compared to the curved edge screens but I don't like any holes or notches in screens at all. I also don't like the massive camera area for basically the same cameras that have been used on the last 3 phones, plus an additional mostly useless one. OnePlus is becoming a Samsung clone at a higher price!
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] goodburner:
Interesting . One plus was never famous for their aesthetics, in my opinion the LG phones have always been more pleasing to look at. When compared with Apple, although I would rate them about the same when it comes to looks, iPhones are crafted with aesthetics in mind, so it's no surprise iPhone XS would make more heads turn than one plus, which looks like a generic Chinese phone.

As for as clarity, nothing to write home about. Doesn't offer 3K resolution which made me say no to buying the phone only a few seconds after reading it.

People say they don't see any difference between EHD (3K extra hd resolution), and FHD+, but after having used both I strongly disagree.

OPPO FIND X2 PRO with its drop dead gorgeous screen, I can never find myself satisfied by something like one plus 8t.

It was a very bad decision to not increase screen resolution. One plus seems to be losing track of who and what they are. Even though their neighbors right next door at OPPO in BBK electronics quietly launch good phones without publicity
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] Super-Veloce:
It's disappointing there is no silver 12GB/256GB option.. so I had to choose the other one, which looks less good in a black case.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] jcsww:
There is. It is only available in North America for some reason.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] TheHussain:
Just got the phone today. The screen is flat with curved egdes on the bezel to facilitate gestures

Hi

All of a sudden tonight, the screen of my htc diamond is going crazy and displays only a limited color palette (looks like 256 colors to me)

This happens in touchflo3D and each and every application (including the camera)

I really don't know what to do, it looks like a bug (I hope it's not broken !?), but even after a reboot or removing the battery, the problem persists !

of course before going back to the shop with it, i'll try to flash-it again with an HTC BIOS, but in the meantime, did anyone experience the same problem ?

:(

I don't think it's that bad. Now, if they had a rotary dial pop up and you had to dial POWER to shut the phone down. I'm betting most people wouldn't be able to power off their devices. :P If such a thing existed, I would definitely install it on my phones.

A little bit disappointed here as my OP8T has similar issues as my previous iPhone. Before that I had Samsung Galaxy note 10+ and had no problem with WiFi all around my flat where iPhone struggled to get the signal in the room adjacent to my living room where the router is placed. No idea why but had to switch to mobile data to stay online.

Any way, just wanted to see what was what with the 8T.

[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] NaXal:
WiFi performance is satisfactory !!

I have a 100mbps Fiber to home connection along with Dual Band Gigabit router & 8T can easily max out without any issue even at farthest corners of my home with multiple walls !!

WiFi calling works smoothly & even at downstairs, with a few walls between router & the device, the latency is good enough !!

Connection stays stable & offers steady performance !!

I am interested in buying the T-Mobile version of this phone, but the only thing holding me back are multiple reviews of poor cellular signal strength. First reported on Android Police, but also lots of 1 star reviews on the T-Mobile site for the OnePlus 8 5G, which I understand has similar design and antenna hardware. Can anyone comment on cell strength, especially when compared to prior phones? I would be coming from the Pixel 3xl
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] h8Aramex:
The 8T has a vastly different design and way better reception. Check notebookcheck review.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] Stoowyguy:
Woah so I have the Oneplus 8T 5G TMO and so far I am indeed experiencing issues with 5G.

No calls can be made in a seemingly normal 5G connection at certain times.

dropping to 4gLTE manually may solve the issue however, this isn't always done automatically.

5G is buggy in my area with this phone currently.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] NaXal:
I am having some wired network issue with OnePlus 8T. Here are my observations,

1. The issue is happening with my Jio 4G (Indian mobile service operator network)

2. This problem mainly happens with VoWiFi is active. Outgoing calls are fine, connects without any issue and no call quality issue either. However, 9/10 times when phone (Jio 4G SIM) is on a WiFi network & VoWiFi is active, any incoming call fails to come, caller gets to hear out of network message.

I have a second SIM Card, AirTel (India) and it too supports VoWiFi. It works absolutely fine, no issue.

3. Call Forwarding / Call Waiting service details fails with network error with Jio SIM, but working fine with AirTel.

On the surface, it seems like issue is with Jio SIM card / network but surprisingly it works fine when I insert the same SIM on another device.

I have logged a complain with Jio (service provider) regarding this. I am bit confused as is it the device or the SIM Card (network) to blame as same SIM card works fine in other device and other network (My Airtel) sim card is working fine on this device

Thanks.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] Stoowyguy:
The 5G connection has been cleaned up for me latest updates feel smooth and am excited to still unlock the bootloader and break free from T-Mobile's rendition of the rom.
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] NaXal:
Network performance under 4G is good, out of the box 8T supports fastest 4G standard & carrier aggregation. Internet speeds are excellent if or when network is upto the mark to offer it.

Lossing signal at random times without any visible explanation.

happens at least ten times a day.

would strongly advise you not to buy this model.

hopefully will be fixed on newer models.

Would be helpful if you mention the location and carrier !!

[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] Ramme:
I know the question has nothing to do with this topic, however, I think this does not interfere in this topic.

Question: why would anyone want to voluntarily buy a T-Mobile version of a OnePlus device? Are there any positive aspects to this?

In my opinion, only disadvantages?

Is it cheaper?
[OnePlus 8T Real Life Review] ddvche:
T-Mobile have the OnePlus 8T+ for the same price, it is dust and water resistant. Being the only phone advantage. Also you can finance your phone, and trade in deals specific to T-Mobile. Also, out of warranty insurance coverage is you are up for that.

Ive been Dieing to have this feature on my phone for quiet sometime i like to listen to my favorite Radio station every morning but where i work there aint no radio to listen to so i was wondering if there is an application out there that can give me new yorks radio stations FM Radio Stations that is... anyone know of such an app?
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
http://www.thestreamcenter.com/PDA/ from your phone browser

select the state and the radio station...set tcpmp to handle it and you are all set

you can also use pocketstreamer which was posted on here a few days ago
[HTC Excalibur] RussianSolja:
i got tcpmp player installed and when i click on the station i wanna listen to it downloads a file and the file takes a long time to download and aint tcpmp player suppose to load up and start streaming? insted of downloading the file? also can you guide me to the direct download of pocketstreamer? ill give that a try. or explain to me how to exactly listen to these FM Stations on my phone off the site. thanks.
[HTC Excalibur] RussianSolja:
okay the file im trying to play is an mp3 file... i want you to do what im trying to do and tell me why it aint working.... go to the site... select NY radio Stations scroll down to where it says (Pulse 87.7) and try to stream that file... insted of streaming the file its downloading it.... i cant figure out why its an OGG file that its downloading.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
most of them are...go into tcpmp and go to options > setting then select page > file association.

for now just select everything. go back to that site. click it again

when tcpmp loads up you might need to go to file > play

but either way it will take a sec for it to load up
