- OnePlus 7 and 7T series users are facing several issues after the stable Android 11 update.
- The most common problems are battery drain, overheating, frame rate drops, sluggish user interface, and more.
- Many users are considering rolling back to Android 10 because of the issues.
The Android 11 update for the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T series was introduced in March. However, more than a month later, users are still struggling with the usability of the phones.
Customers report that their OnePlus 7 / 7T devices are anything but stable after the Android 11 update. Some common issues include a dramatic increase in battery usage, a drop in frame rate resulting in a poor gaming experience, overheating issues even when the phones are idle, and inconveniently slow loading times for apps.
A Reddit mega thread dedicated to the update is filled to the brim with complaints, as is the official OnePlus forum.
In addition to the above issues, which are the most common on the upgraded OnePlus 7 and 7T series phones, several users also report issues connecting to mobile data, slow scrolling, slowed down notifications, app crashes, and more.
“The new update on my OnePlus 7 literally broke it. There are consistent frame drops throughout the game. The new update destroyed my gaming experience, the device overheated more than before and it also decreased battery efficiency. What a curse I got in return for some crappy UI perks, ”read an angry user comment on the Reddit thread.
OnePlus recently introduced the Oxygen OS 11.0.0.2 hotfix for the phones. However, users who got the latest software are still reporting the same (and a few more) problems with their phones.
There is no official word from OnePlus about when these issues will be fixed. The company may address them in future software updates, but it may take a while as the OnePlus 7 and 7T devices aren’t exactly new and the company may be more focused on releasing updates for newer phones.
If you regret the jump to Android 11 on your OnePlus 7 or 7T, you should consider downgrading to Android 10. Note, however, that resetting will completely erase all data from your device.
This comprehensive guide to Reddit is all about how to revert to Android 10 on your OnePlus 7 / 7T devices.
