Very slow wifi dl speeds - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I'm running the latest stock 9.0.1 and my wifi has been terrible - i'm not sure if this is since I got the phone or if it's just since i updated to Android 9 as I only noticed this issue when I started using certain apps. I checked my speedtest logs and it looks like I was getting normal download speeds prior to updating to Android 9 so not sure if there's a way to roll back to the previous version.
Basically on all my other devices I'm getting download speeds of just under 200Mbs and upload of around 150Mbps. But on the OP6 I'm getting download speeds of <5Mbps. Note this is on 5GHz. The situation is improved on 2.4GHz but barely - 20Mbps. Upload speeds on both are fine and consistent with my other devices. I don't know if this is speed related but a load of apps aren't working properly as a reason and consistently just show a circle reload logo rather than loading what it should. It also seems to be struggling to download any apps from the Play store while on wifi (or sometimes it does but there's a huge delay).
Any ideas? I've already wiped cache, rebooted my phone, rebooted my router, reset network settings, etc. Unfortunately OP tech support hasn't been particularly helpful so far.
Cheers

Ended up having to rollback to 8.1 which fixed it. Quite annoying though. Hope it's something rectified in future updates.

Try updating to beta 6. Might help your issue for 9.0. It should be available in your OTA in settings.

I spoke too soon. Speeds have gone back to a dribble. only way I can get them normal is to continuously restart which isn't practical. I'm having issues downloading apps on wifi on the playstore too. I might have to just send it off to OP as I think it may be a hardware issue.

Yeah they have been pretty unhelpful so far. i'm starting to regret buying this phone to be honest. I never had this many issues with my old Sony Z3.
Worst comes to worst I'll root and put a custom ROM on it to see if it fixes anything.

You could. If you like stock oos, just give xXxnolimits a try. It's pretty solid. Make sure to use bluespark twrp if you try because normal TWRP doesn't support encryption in 9.0.

Hi,
I have the same problem as you with my 6T. Have you found any fix ?

[Q] Cyanogenmod 11-M9 crashy as hell on Hammerhead?

Is anyone else running Cyanogenmod 11 M-releases on their Nexus 5?
I just got mine a week or two ago, and the first thing I did was unlock it and flash it to CyanogenMod 11. (M8 at the time)
I'm using the device encryption, because I'm a paranoid bastard (And I love the fact this phone is actually usable while encrypted, unlike my Nexus S), and I find it very crashy. Several times per day, seemingly totally random, often while entering into the keyboard, though sometimes while it's just in my pocket. I've been able to determine no rhyme or reason.
No error messages, no apps crashing, no force closes, just several times a day it'll just freeze and reboot. Data loss is a common occurrence. I've lost my WhatsApp! database several times now, and a few others as well.
Is this just me, or is CyanogenMod 11 this crappy for other people too? I can't find a way to prove to myself that this is a hardware problem, the Android Stability Test app just keeps going and going. I've been watching adb logcat during a crash, and nothing interesting is output. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Try without encryption. It's hardly useful and only causes issues on Android.

We'll have to disagree about the usefulness of encryption, (I like that if my phone is powered off, my data is PRIVATE until and unless my passphrase is entered) but I'll wipe the phone this eve, TRIM it, and get setup on it again without encryption.

Maybe it's useful if you have something important on your device, but really, if you do, it shouldn't be kept on your phone anyways.
On Android, encryption is nothing but trouble, maybe it doesn't cause issues right away, but eventually it'll cause many. If you really wanted to keep things secured then I don't see why you would unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and install a custom ROM.

CyanogenMod has Privacy Guard, which is another feature I'm using, mostly with the aforementioned WhatsApp!, which has a list of permissions longer than my arm. I don't like it, but I need it for work.
I'll grant that the custom Recovery and ROM may slightly weaken the encryption (specifically an attacker could alter the ROM from Recovery), but even so having the encryption makes the phone a million times more resistant to data theft and tampering than not having it. It's worth noting that tweaking the ROM is the _worst_ an attacker could do. If I suspected such a thing had happened I could re-unlock the bootloader (which would wipe my data), and re-flash a known good Recovery and ROM. I'd lose my data, but even if the attacker had dumped the partition they still wouldn't have my key, and my data would still be private.
And the phone has crashed twice today. I'm going to repeat my original question - is anyone running Cyanogenmod 11-M on their Nexus 5, and if so is it stable? Should I be RMAing this phone, or should I try reverting it to stock first?

its more then likely the encryption. Disable it, re-flash and see what happens
No encryption. Wiped and trimmed the phone yesterday, now 4 crashes.
Try another ROM, see if it crashes. If it still does, flash factory images and see if it still does.
If so, RMA.
Nothing but trouble for me since upgrading to m9. I have been using the various M builds since March with no problems. M8 was fine. No device encryption for me. I tried turning it on and instead got stuck redoing the whole phone.
Now I get frequent crashing. I switched to the most recent nightly yesterday. Apps stopped crashing. However the os itself still crashes. Several times the screen wouldn't turn on after removing it from my pocket. The light was blinking so it definitely didn't just turn off. It also has stayed black after a few (but not all) phone calls. I've had to hard reset every time to recover.
Thinking about reverting to m8 backup. Willing to give it a few more nightie and see if it works out.
Where did you get it? I'm using the stable M9 snapshot off the CM site for hammerhead and it works pretty good.

Got it from the OTA update. Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to know how to debug it or use proper logs. It could be that its an app I'm using combined with the most recent update...
Im using M9 snapshot too and i have not had 1 problem its been excellent
No problems for me on the M9 snapshot either. I'm coming up on 100 hours of uptime. Have you tried another kernel? I've always found that the stock CM kernel isn't the best. I'm using ElementalX 1..04 and it works pretty great.

+1. I installed another kernel (Chaos) for that reason and it's way faster.
OP: Maybe a bad flash? I would download M8 latest stable snapshot, and do OTA upgrade to M9. That's how I got mine.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually have been using elemental and forgot to install it after the OTA. Will put that on now and see if it helps.

Yeah it'll never be like the GB days. There's either audio problems, crashes, or other random problems. It's sad because people are expecting it to be like it was in old days. CM is not for stability, you can quote me on that.

Touch and performance issues with Verizon update G925VVRU4CPK2 Galaxy S6E 12/16/16
sometimes, as in for short periods throughout the day the phone detects touches as a jump from one letter to the next; consequently, not inputting the first character but the second. This impairs my typing, so I have to type significantly slower for it to understand I'm typing different letters. this also affects any touch movement and the phone's performance as it lags as well as misses certain touches. This only happened after this update on 12/16/16. Not only does did it affect my phone but my brother installed the update as well and his phone (same model) is experiencing the same issues. I had nova launcher as well which i uninstalled and I have deleted the cache multiple times, started the phone in safe mode and was not able to use the phone codes since Verizon blocked access to updating the touchscreen's firmware. It is not a constant issue but it happens at least a couple times as day which is extremely annoying when trying to type or move around.
If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has a possible solution I would greatly appreciate any help

Pixel rebooting randomly after rooting

Does anyone have any ideas how to find why my phone is rebooting randomly? I'll check it periodically and then it will have a bar stating it's starting. Then my launcher loads and no icons and I need to wait a minute. I don't know exactly what's going on. It appears the phone is randomly rebooting.
Have you tried a factory reset? Are you rooted?
I just factory resetted it and rooted it a few days ago. I got to thinking I think the rebooting started after I throttled the cpu trying to save battery. I just changed the cpu governor fro ondemand to scheduled. So far it seems to run faster but I'm sure the battery will be worse but we'll see if the crashing ceases.
Crashed and rebooted 15 minutes ago. So, changing cpu back didn't fix.
Flash the 100% stock image and try leaving it that way. If the problem doesn't occur, it's something you're doing/flashing/changing that's the cause of the issue.
Obviously I know it's not a hardware issue.... so I know a 100% stock would fix it. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it without putting it to stock.

I seem to be seeing a lot of people complaining about the issue. It's been an issue with the Pixel since the beginning, apparently, but it seems to have gotten worse with the May update.
With that said, I did make another change around the same time... I had switched from Project Fi to a Verizon MVNO, and so I flashed the Verizon system image (from the Google Factory images page) rather than the standard one, since it supposedly had some Verizon-specific fixes.

I don't know. That was the only change that I'd made at the time, though. It's gotten really annoying, so I've flash PureNexus with ElementalX to see if that would make a difference. I haven't been using it long enough to say one way or the other.

I'm also on Elemental X kernel with slightly overclocked cpu. Does the freezing/rebooting take place while in idle?

I flashed PureNexus on Friday and used its default kernel over the weekend without any troubles. I've only now flashed Elemental X this morning. Time will tell, I guess!
Edited to add: When I was on the stock rom and kernel, it was freezing while I was using it, requiring me to restart the phone. I would also go to use it after it had been asleep for a while, only to have it do the "Android is Starting" thing. So yes, it was restarting at idle as well as when I was using it.

Well, after getting the phone back reloading the stock image and re-rooting it, I went into developer options and turned off ota updates. So, hopefully I don't get that update... even though root doesn't allow to update. Just causes annoying update prompts.

Freezing - Not sure if random

So since about 2 days ago the phone just start freezing. Sometimes it just restarted randomly, but mainly freezing at least every 5 minutes. The power button alone wouldn't turn it off no matter how long I held it. Always have to use Pwr+Vol Down to reboot.
I put up with it because I've been busy, but finally tried wiping cache - no profit. Tried safe mode - no profit. Factory reset- negative profit. After the reset it just seems to restart a bit more often but in general it freezes less, making the timing seem even more random.
This happened when I first got it (used). It was restarting due to the fresh 7.0 update. So a factory reset fixed it and it was smooth sailing for like 3 months or something. I know there was a minor system update a few days ago but those dont usually call for a factory reset. I tried it anyway and it just didnt work. I had actually even tried uninstalling all the app updates from the night before it started happening. but safe mode couldn't even fix the problem so I guess that was moot.
Software version: G920VVRS4DQE1

Mainly I'd like to know if Im alone. A fix would be great but I'm hoping it's not specific to my device. If it's a hardware issue I'm gonna give it a swift toss down the stairs and maybe deliver a nasty curb stomp to it right afterward.
Any advice?
I'm running into the same exact issue. Same build, and am running out of ideas.

Good to know its not just me. Did it start after a recent update for you also? That would give me hope that its not faulty hardware. Maybe just a bad update.

Gonna go ahead and revive this. It seems to work fine when the sim card is out. I recommend you see if it's the same with you. I've charged it up before work multiple times before work days and come home from to see that it never restarted. I was able to test this using the fingerprint feature; it isn't asking me to use pattern like it does after boot.
No one else is chiming in but, since we're both on Verizon, I'm having a feeling that it's directly related to the SIM/carrier.

Well i dont have problems with the battery and heating anymore... but OOS11 in general is not perfect and i am not sure if this is related to the OP7 version. Like it's still slower than 10... Is this related to OP7 to make people buy the newer phones? Mhhh but who buys from the the same company if OP makes phones obviously slower through updates - Are people so stupid... In 2021 Idk.
What about the Widevine L3 level after 11.0.2.1 update?

Since i've updated my phone to 11 i never had issues with L1 on 11 even with unlocked bootloader ... But i lost it for some reason on 10 ... It comes back on 11 but not on 10 anymore. Idk why OnePlus phones have such issues I think since OnePlus is so slow with updates now it won't get fixed any time soon or probably not at all ;/ I personally would not purchase a OnePlus anymore at all. Like i literally bought one cause of their reputition for good software support and they really had in the past even for older phones

For me the problem started after updating to 11.
Whilst being on 10,i never had any issue.
I dont know if it has to do with the rom for a specific region?
Mine now has the 11.0.2.1AA,rom,but when i was on 10,i had the BA version for EU,installed.
After updating to 11,i reversed from BA to AA..maybe this could be the culprit?
The big hirony is that i was interested in buying the 8t,but after all these Oneplus behaviours with the faulty and delayed updates,i stopped thinking of ever giving my money to them,despite the fact that their devices are so good.
Here i have to confirm that my Oneplus 7 is my first device of the company,and i feel so frustrated with that Widevine issue.
Other than that,my 7 is one of the best smartphones i ever had.
