Glitches on stock rom, brand new phone - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

So I got this phone about 2 weeks ago, brand new from oneplus. I haven't been tempted to do anything to it (bootloader locked, complete stock, no root)
One of the glitches is it'll stop scrolling on some web pages, especially from my Google feed. You need to back out and reenter the site. Then it works fine. This is the one that occurs often.
The other night I was using youtube. I tried to put it in pip mode. It froze in a weird position, not pip. It looked more like the recents but you couldn't exit it. I tried everything till I finally had to reboot to fix it.
Then last night I was watching Netflix. I tried to fast forward a bit and it began to buffer. It happens sometimes but again I had to reboot. The app wouldn't let me back out. I suppose I might've been able to pull down qs and go into settings to force quit (maybe) but this is a brand new phone. Also it's the 12/256 model.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? I'm on the latest Android 10.

I have the N2013 12/256gb I had the same issue with chrome had to back out to get it working, not had the other issues thought. I have updated to O os 11 now see if this helps.

Had the same problem with chrome, switched to duckduckgo instead, and problem was gone.
Chrome has an issue with me, no matter what i try

Thanks. I had actually narrowed it down to chrome just before I read your replies.
I switched to Chrome beta and so far so good.
The youtube glitch only happened once. Did you receive the Android 11 ota or did you download it? I'm still waiting. I heard it's best to wait but this is the first time in years I haven't installed my own updates. Bootloader is still locked, no root, stock recovery.
It hasn't been bad so far.

Sometimes pulling down the statusbar works for the chrome freezes too

is there an option to change WebView types in Developer Options?

I downloaded 11 from the oxygen updater app, always do since it being faster getting the updates.
Yes you can change webview if you like, but to my knowledge you have to use a magisk script for it (don't knpw any other way), ive never used it tho.

[Q] Stock browser closing unexpectedly

Has anyone experienced this or has this been discussed in any thread for the TF? But my stock browser often closes unexpectedly with no force close message and returns to the home screen. When reopened, it forgets the recently the opened pages. Very, very annoying..

I got this a few times last night. It happened mainly on large/busy sites. I think this is an issue that will be rectified with the future 3.1 update.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Had it happen once or twice in the past 3 weeks. I think it is just an HC stability issue.
It seems to happen to me more often after I updated to the latest Adobe Flash 10.3.
Ditto. It has happened here every once and a while... But not enough to bother me.. I assume it will be addressed later.
This happened about 3 times yesterday evening while I was browsing. I don't know if it is related to a HC stability bug, or an Adobe Flash bug, although I'm more inclined towards the former, because I can browse perfectly fine with my Atrix on Flash 10.3. Also, I noticed a strange thing for the first time yesterday: When the browser crashes with no FC message, and you restart it back again, I get a screen filled with banding and multi-colored interference. Only way to fix it is to restart. I hope all of this gets taken care of with 3.1, because the browser experience really leaves something to be desired on 3.0.1 in my opinion. It just does not handle any heavy pages at all, let alone any embedded videos or just videos period.
happens when you try surfing to gmail
If you would like to see it crash 100% of the time, go to your gmail and try to open a message
It also freaks out in Gmail main page.
I was having browser crashes as well until the sudden disk space full error. After my factory reset the browser crashes have gone away. I wonder if they are related.
I got it twice in 3 weeks. It happened both times on Yahoo's ain page.
Happens to me also but never loses its place.
3.1
i first noticed this happening last night, 2nd night after updating to 3.1. never happened before that. i don't have the screen timeout on so the screen will stay on so i can see my moves list at a glance on a website. after about 10-15 minutes of not touching device it will just suddenly return to the homescreen and if i open browser it has to reload the page. i thought maybe it was something to do with the built in android memory management auto killing the browser, since there doesn't appear to be any flash on the page.
i too am having this problem.
Stock browser is where it started, so I go Dolphin HD and it still happens. So its not the browser itself it would seem, since 2 different browsers both do it.
There HAS to be a fix for this...
Since the 3.1 update I'm seeing something different - The browser simply stops responding after a while.

I to am having trouble with my browser. I am experiencing it ceasing to function aftwr awhile as l as frequent crashing when I load it. Crashes all the time if I type anything or use the menu if Ido so before it finishes loading my home page.
When your updated to 3.1, click reset all in the settings menu. Then when it's finish go into the browser settings and set plugins to be on demand. I'm able to run well like that it is flash that kills it, soon as you click the flash content to enable it on a page it may crash.

Since updating to Lollipop I've also experienced a number of issues, including laggy home screen (it's blank for a second or two before the icons start loading, whereas before it was immediate) and huge number of Chrome crashes. Anyone know if there's anything we can do, or should we expect an update from Google?

Hi,
as i was not able to get any info regarding how to solve the issue, i did Factory Reset.
at the moment problem seems to be solved, i have left not installed now only 3-4 apps which I had before when the problem started.
2 hours after the operation finish i got nearly 10 google apps aupdate, chrome was one of them. it doesn't crash any more, keaybord shows up and works.
Also menu button works perfectly, when i press it all the apps show immediately, its doesn't take like 10-15sec for the apps to show up.
I do recomand to perform factory reset.
regards,

Constant refreshing

Is there a fix for the constant refresh this phone does every few minutes? Like if I'm watching twitch, every couple minutes it will just refresh. Same with YouTube. It'll do a page refresh and then I have to remaximize the video. It also does it on Snapchat, if I'm typing my keyboard will go down etc. Happened while typing this. It happens whether on beta, or stock, I've even experienced it pixel experience ROM, and havoc. This morning I formated the phone, and then used msm tool to put 5.1.5 on it and installed the system update. I haven't reunlocked the bootloader or anything. It is such ban annoying issue. Are there custom kernels to fix this issue?
(UPDATE) got it working right.

Intermittent Chrome Kinetic Scroll Lag/Stutter Issue!

OxygenOS 9.5.9 update and I still have this issue see the video link below. I tried re-installing Chrome, did a factory reset of the phone, disabled smooth scroll on chrome but nothing works still have this issue!
What's also frustrating whenever I have this issue the screen will not timeout/go off, its as if something is hanging in the background. The only workaround I have found is to close the Chrome and relaunch or toggle the screen on/of with power button.
This issue also happens with Google Feed, Edge and Brave Browser basically any chromium-based browsers. Clearly, this is an bug with OnePlus and Chromium for whatever reason.
It's become so frustrating that I have disabled Chrome, uninstalled all other browsers and have resorted to using Samsung Internet Browser as my default browser which does not have this issue.
Chrome Scroll Stutter Issue OnePlus 7 Pro Link: https://youtu.be/1Z8bzG0tfPs
P.S. Only noticed this issue since updating to OxygenOS 9.5.8 and now 9.5.9 never noticed it in any of the previous versions!
Does it happen in Chrome dev?
I used to have this with (I believe chrome Dev) and needed to do exactly what you do, force stop and restart chrome. After that it works for a while but the problem comes back. After a while I uninstalled chrome Dev and started to use the stable one. Can't say I ever noticed it again, this was on min OP6, on my OP7P I'm still using chrome stable and also not notice the problem.
Some questions, are you stock? Custom kernel? Magisk modules? Etc etc.
Tried on the same website on chrome and it's normal on my unit

No runnning stock, not rooted as mentioned I did a full factory reset no joy. Even made sure I was running the factory pre-installed version of chrome. Whats worse when this happens it throws off the screen time out , screen will not time out unless I re-launch chrome or toggle power button on/off. To reiterate only noticed this issue since updating to OxygenOS 9.5.8 and now 9.5.9 don't recall having this issue on any of the previous versions!

The issue is random nothing to do with visiting a specific website, it happens every now and then as I said if I force stop chrome and re-launch problem goes away or if I just toggle the power button for screen on/off the scroll works as normal no issues!
I never had this issue with any of my previous phones and before anyone asks I have even uninstalled all the apps I normally use and stuck with the default ones still the issue rears it's ugly head.
The only solution for me now I'm using Samsung Internet Browser Beta as my default browser including opening links from all 3rd party apps and I have no scroll issues. :good: And actually this browser is growing on me, beginning to prefer this over chrome!
Really annoying , I understand.
What you could try is to factory reset and after that's done manually flash the latest available OS version. Not a OTA but the full rom. (Around 1500/2000 mb).

Thanks for the tip, I was thinking that but I won't bother for the time being. I'm really liking the Samsung browser its got some cool features no scroll issues all good!:good:

Screen goes black, buttons don't respond, can get calls from other phones to me

Hi all, I have been facing a really weird problem for the past few weeks. Sometimes all of a sudden, my phone screen completely turns black, and the buttons (as well as the alert slider) stop responding. There is no indication whatsoever that it is NOT switched off. However when I try calling it from another phone, ring can be heard as if my phone is working fine. I don't understand where the problem lies. Any suggestions are welcome.
I am rooted with Magisk 19.3, Riru-EdXposed 0.4.5.1 Sandhook, Riru-Core v19.5.
Edit: Android Pie. OOS 9.5.10.GM21AA
I had this problem recently when accessing certain apks. Reflashing the firmware sorted it for me.
no root same problem to me after I update from Android 9 to Android 10

Thanks I will try doing that.
Same problem here when opening quite a few apps. Issue didn't start until I updated to Android 10 (and rooted), on a converted T-Mobile variant. Wonder if that is the source of our problem. I'm sorely tempted to use the MSM tool and go back on TMO's Android 9 (and pray for a official update to 10). Unless someone can find a solution to this, rebooting the phone every time I want to open certain apps is a real pain.

It definitely is a A10 issue as I too have started to have this issue when opening games and ram extensive apps. A workaround is to open the game or app in split screen mode and once the app has started you can switch back to fullscreen mode or start the app from recents. That has worked for me 100% of the time. The 10.0.1 update seemed to make it worse because you have to reboot the phone to escape the black screen were as at first you could use gestures to escape the app.

Good idea using split screen, I'll have to start doing that for the time being. I moved over to Open Beta 3 and the issue is still there and worst as with 10.0.1. Hopefully OnePlus can nail this bug soon. It's turning a otherwise amazing phone into a headache.
I have the same problem. Running 10.0 rooted. For me, this has only happened when opening Youtube Vanced. One clever solution is to enable "Quickly turn on camera" and doublepress power if this happens. This launches camera and returns the screen to normal.

Experiencing this too, it does seem to be related to certain .apks, how bizarre is that? Really don't want to re-flash as I am encrypted... Can you dirty-flash with an encrypted system and not loose any data?

I reflashed through TWRP and all data was fine. I'm encrypted too.
But it goes without saying, make sure you do a backup before flashing anything
