Earlier this month, OnePlus released the stable OxygenOS 12 update for the OnePlus 9 series. However, the software was infused with glitches due to which the company had to suspend the rollout. Soon, the brand made it to the users and the rollout began again. Unfortunately, this time as well, the package is not so stable as users have started to report bugs, again!
OnePlus 9 and OnePlus 9 Pro Pro are the first devices from the company to receive the stable OxygenOS 12 update. However, the users who have flashed the OxygenOS 12 on their respective phones are reporting several issues. In fact, there are complaints on all platforms including Reddit, Twitter, and even the OnePlus forums.
Though the bugs are not major if compared to the previous software, still it is inconvenient to the user. The list of problems includes trouble making and receiving calls, inability to customize, poor animations, broken Autofill feature, slower Wi-Fi speed, and so on.
Reddit Reports:
I can’t change icons individually, I can’t personalize status bar (hour with seconds, disabling battery icon, etc), my main screen is messed up, KWGT widgets look horrible, I can’t disable Google feed… Everything looks horrible. I’m so disappointed.
Edit: the only thing I think actually improved is the camera app interface. Looks cleaner and easier to use.
Edit 2: ok, so it seems that they also removed the feature to answer messages while watching a video (with the split screen), something that they literally proudly announced before. This keeps getting worse.
Twitter Reports:
I installed it and now my banking apps don’t work and there are several other bugs especially with switching between Bluetooth devices
OnePlus Forums Reports:
I don’t think this is stable, people are encountering bugs.
OnePlus had a very big post for XPAN feature but they can’t even explain new features in a major update like android 12.
There’s no mention of camera UI changes from OOS11 to OOS12
Nothing about battery, speed, system. They didn’t even tell that they have changed battery UI and that now includes HIGH PERFORMANCE MODE.
They didn’t had a post for OOS12OB3.I never say things like this but this time I think, ONEPLUS IS evolving. JUST BACKWARDS.
We hope that OnePlus will look into the matter soon and genuinely polish OxygenOS 12 this time. Also, let us know if you are facing such issues in the comment section below.
