So last night, I must have received the TMob version of OOS 9.5.6, and it caused my entire phone reboot overnight. Unfortunately, this also prevented my alarm clock from going off in the morning! I definitely cannot have that happen again. I'd like to install the updates on my own schedule.
However, when I got into system update options, there's no setting to disable this? In developer options, there's a setting to disable automatic installation upon reboot, but that doesn't sound like the same thing. I've never encountered something like this, as every phone I've owned before this always allowed you to control how updates were received. Any clues?
Only thing I can think of is the first toggle in the screenshot I've attached.

Yep, that's the one I toggled. It sounds like it only prevents the installation upon reboot, and not something to actually stop it from rebooting. I'm unsure.
I believe that it will not download and update the phone until you go in to software updates and tap the download and update button.

It was like that on 6t as well. TMobile force installs even if you turn off automatic updates.
Alot of people were reporting using the phone then out of nowhere random reboot then "congratulations your software has been updated to whatever"

This is a major dealbreaker for me. I merely wanted the TMob version so that I could use the HD calling without issue, but I can't just have automatic updates going off when they feel like it.
I will have to convert to global version. Good thing I'm like a 20 year customer and the phone is completely paid for.

So I SWEAR I saw this mentioned somewhere earlier today but after searching I can't seem to locate it.
As the title says. I have Automatic system updates turned OFF. Turned that off right after I got it unlocked and rooted.
Verizon Pixel XL NDE63P
Today I get a notification regarding Android 7.1 Update. I didn't tap on it, couldn't clear it. Was concerned that the update might auto install without my permission or something. Well that hasn't happened, and NOW the notification is gone. I don't want to update yet...
I was thinking that turning off automatic system updates would mean it wouldn't even check to know there was an update. Am I going to be living with a nag that comes back with a hair trigger update button. Had that on Samsungs in the past. Will make you crazy always having to tell it NO try tomorrow every day...
Just wanted to see if anyone had seen this behavior or if I was just loosing my marbles here.
Thanks!
Screwit, just sideloaded the update. Everything is good, unlocked, rooted, customer kernel etc...
new update available. says "security , new device features " , its the android june security patch and possibly a new feature
If your using the no root hotspot it still works through update!!
It installs weird too after rebooting it restarts then the screen will black out and say "installing applications"
then it will say software is custom until the update notification at the top stops. even though it already popped up a toast that said successfully upgraded yet that still has to fill up (in the notification) then it all goes to normal seems smoother than ever
I am applying it right now, will follow up if I run across any issues.

Thanks. So there is more than just security patch in it at that size.
All I know is the last update(not this one) broke my phone, My system app crashed randomly, vibration would continue to vibrate after calls were answered, very slow response and frequent random resets. Notifications would either not appear or not disappear. One time I lost all my home screen apps. The problems were so severe I decided to upgrade to the S8.
After this update my phone runs like new.... too bad I already decided to buy the new S8.... although my 'excuse' for needing it apparently has been fixed by this update, Now I just want the S8.

yeah mines running smooth as butter. Just a note if you have that problem again (vibration etc) go into Stock recovery and clear cache it fixes it
Has anyone experienced your U11+ freezing up.
It has happened to me about 3 times.
It generally happens over night while it's charging. I get up one of those mornings and the green light is on, remove the charging cable and I can't wake up the phone. I can't even turn off the phone by pressing and holding the power button to kill the device. The only way is to put it into download mode by simultaneously holding down the vol down key and power key, and then when the menu comes up to select the reboot option to get the phone back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing this to happen?
The problem is that I use my phone as my alarm clock, and when it freezes up, my alarm doesn't work.
Any suggestions anyone?
No problem like that until now.
However, noticed sometimes that the my alarm, which is setup for vibration only, only vibrates once and then continues silently alarming until I turn it off.
Happens randomly but still strange. I've to try with another clock app.
That's really odd.
I'm going to turn off the always - on feature and see if I get anymore freezes. I had another one this afternoon.
I'll report back after some time and let you know if there has been no more freezes.
I'm just updating to the latest update 1.23.709.3 and see also how it performs.
I'm a bit concerned about this random freezing that I have experienced since I got this device.
If it persists I may ask for a new one.

I'm still on the October security patch so I'm expecting one for the December period soon I hope.
In regards to your freezes I've not encountered anything like that so far been working flawlessly so far if there is anything I can test let me know
I have the Taiwan version.
If you could try the always-on feature for a couple of days and nights and report back, that would be awesome. However, I selected the option, for always-on to only come on when I moved the phone. (good for night time use especially)
I had my phone in the pocket yesterday afternoon and it froze.
As I stated earlier, I can only restart the phone only by putting it into download mode and reboot from there.

Thanks for letting me know.
I guess I can rule that feature out as a probable cause.
It must be some other app that's causing this issue. But it's a pain to go through the process of finding out which one.

Yeah trial and error isn't fun. I'd probably factory reset though and see if it happens with barely any third party apps installed.

I have the HK model I think and I had the AOD when I first got it, set to motion and nothing has happened to my phone in regards to freezing fingers crossed. I have disabled it for the moment as I noticed a greater battery usage overall, I believe between 9-10% overnight and only 2% when I had it disabled.
Hopefully you find the problem otherwise see if you can get it replaced...
Since not using the always-on feature, I don't have any more freezes. Must be some conflict with the alarms and always-on. Can't see what else could be causing those freeze ups.
My phone surprisingly just froze up yesterday. But at least it's been a long while since not having the always-on feature enabled. With always-on enabled, it seems to have happened every day.
The issue I have most about this, is missing that important call when I haven't realised that the phone is frozen, because sometimes I don't pick up the phone for hours.
I had to do a complete fresh install from scratch and I have no more issues. I believe all my issues came from using HTC's transfer tool when going from u11 to u11+. Importing all the settings features using the Transfer Tool has caused issues. I'll never use this tool again.
All good now.
UPDATE: Factory Reset solved issue with notifications not coming in. But all notifications now play at 100% volume, even with ringer and notification volume set all the way down to 10%.
Phone Status: Bootloader unlocked, unrooted & running completely stock. Notification slider is set to "Ring".
I must say, I'm extremely annoyed with my Oneplus 6 and OOS at the moment. I was out of the office today, enjoying time with the wife on her rare day off. I kept thinking to myself that it was an oddly slow day since I wasn't getting any Slack, Skype for Business, or email notifications. But it is a Friday, so I didn't put much additional thought behind it.
I got back home late this afternoon and logged onto my computer, only to discover that I've been missing time sensitive messages and emails from clients all freaking day. Needless to say, this is quite frustrating and it has even put me in a bit of a bind with one of my clients. It's especially infuriating considering that it's not just 1 app, it's 3 of my most crucial apps. I even have the Slack, Newton Mail and Skype for Business apps all set to "Don't Optimize" within battery settings. So there is no reason these notifications shouldn't be coming through. I've tried rebooting and that hasn't solved the problem. Even as I sit here and watch new emails and Slack messages come in on my computer, I'm getting absolutely no alerts/notifications on my phone.
This is not an issue I've ever experienced with my Pixel XL, Pixel 2 XL or my iPhone X. It's a big enough problem that I've resorted to popping my sim back into my iPhone X and throwing the OnePlus 6 in a drawer, until I can get this problem sorted. I'm so pissed that I'm considering just putting the OP6 on Craigslist and never buying a OnePlus phone again. If I can't trust it to give me notifications when they come in, it's useless to me and, quite frankly, costing me money.
However, I will say that prior to receiving the OOS update to 5.1.8 yesterday, I do not recall missing any app notifications. So I'm thinking the recent update is the culprit. Is anyone else experiencing issues like this? If so, have you found a solution?
Regardless, it's quite disheartening to discover the hard way that this phone/software isn't able to properly handle something as basic as prompt message notifications. Even if I get the problem solved I'm not sure I'll ever fully trust it again and will inevitably resort to constantly opening each app, just to make sure.
Do you have advanced optimization turned on? Did you check Settings>Notifications to be sure they weren't blocked somehow?
You might try clearing data and reinstalling the apps. I have not had any issues with notifications nor heard of this issue from anyone else, thought I don't use Slack or Skype.

Just checked and "Advanced Optimization" is not enabled. I also went into Settings > Notifications and confirmed that those apps are not blocked. I might try a full factory reset to see if that solves it. Super annoying.

I think a full wipe is needed with OEM ROM updates on this phone, at least if you have root/TWRP. Mine goes all ****y with notifications and bluetooth and fingerprint in 3rd party apps when I update.

I think you're right. I've received 3 software updates since getting the phone and each time it throws my finger prints out of whack. Deleting them and re-creating them fixes it though.
I'll go through the factory reset and get everything reinstalled when I get more time in the morning.
I'm having the same issue with telegram..what's app seems to be working fine though
I'm having the same issue with Aquamail and my Facebook app (Power Facebook) and both are set to ignore battery optimizations.

While I'm sorry to hear you guys are experiencing these issues, I must say that it's relieving to discover I'm not the only one. I'm convinced the 5.1.8 update broke something with notifications. I'm hoping a factory reset fixes it. Going to try that here in a bit.

These updates are breaking a lot of things. Bluetooth functionality for me was fine in 5.1.5, when I received the phone - was broken since updated.
Oneplus needs to concentrate on quality control. It is clearly the weakest point of the phone and the company.
Is it surprising that Oneplus paid an influencer to make a video about how their quality control is so great?
I think not.

Yeah, I'm thinking about doing a clean install of Android P DP2 to see if that solves my issues. Not to happy with the "stable" OOS, at the moment.
I had issues with Hangouts mainly and not receiving any notifications so I downloaded the full 5.1.8 zip, factory reset then installed it in twrp and now no issues

Yes, we discussed this in post #2 and #3.
I ended up not having time to mess with my phone this weekend. And things have actually gotten worse. For some reason my ringtone and notifications (when they do come through) play at maximum volume, even if I turn the notification sound slider all the way down to minimum. Reboots don't solve it. Also, my ringtone is randomly changing to this obnoxious beeping noise. I reset it back to the "OnePlus Tone" and it works for 1-2 calls. Then on the 3rd call it's back to the obnoxious new beeping tone, regardless of who is calling.
It's as if the phone is possessed, at this point.

Yeah, I think I need to do a fresh install of the 5.1.8 factory image. I don't see another way to solve this. OnePlus has really caused quite the mess with these updates. It's probably resulting in costly warranty returns/exchanges for them as well. If a fresh install of 5.1.8 doesn't solve it I'll be selling the phone. These days, I don't have time to be dealing with ridiculous issues like the ones this phone has.

Sounds like you have malware. Or you are going crazy
EDIT: if you want a solid but discounted phone, check out Samsung website for discounts on their S9s - they have run $150 and $200 discounts on S9s in the past, and I got one and set it up for a friend. Top notch. But those discounts don't usually last more than a day.

I did a factory reset then installed TWRP and reinstalled the stock 5.1.8 ROM through TWRP a few hours ago. All has been working fine since. We'll see if it stays that way.
Same with Spotify, 5.1.8 seems to be killing the notification so the app gets killed in the background. Notifications seem to be wonky on 5.1.8.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk
It's been a few days since I did a factory reset and fresh install on 5.1.8. Notifications seem to be coming in as they should be. However, I'm finding that no matter what audio level I set my notifications and ringer to, notifications always play at full 100% volume. This remains the case even if I turn ringer and notification volume down to like 10%.
I swear this phone is possessed.
Hey guys!
I'm having an odd issue with date and time upon reboot.
In the Date and Time settings, both "Automatic Time Zone" as well as "Automatic Date and Time" are switched on.
I'm in Australia (GMT+10) and whenever I restart my phone, the time goes back by 10 hours. I have to go I to my settings and toggle the "Automatic Date and Time" setting off and on before it goes back to the right time.
Has anyone else encountered this? Or any ideas as to what may be causing this?
My OP6 is currently running OOS 5.1.9 with xXx rom, Magisk 16.7, Franco Kernel and TWRP 3.2.2.0. (I've also checked my TWRP time zone and it's also at +10)
I've tried disabling xXx and the issue still remains, so it's not coming from there.
It's been consistent for the last few OOS versions too, so nothing a recent software update has fixed.
Thanks in advance!
Well, I cannot offer a solution but I would go with a clean install and then check one by one which of you many modifications is causing the error.

Either a bug (un likely it's not a widespread issue) or something is causing your phone to think it's somewhere else. Did you possible choose a different country when setting up your phone so it is defaulting to that time zone until it updates using your location?
