Here are the issues fixed in the Open Beta 4 update for the OnePlus 6.
1. Touch latency issue
Several users devices were plagued with the delayed touch response on their OnePlus 6. This is a major concern as delayed touch response really ruins the experience while using a smartphone.
Luckily the folks over at OnePlus have now fixed the issue with the OxygenOS Open beta 4 OTA update. After installing the update users should no longer experience any kind of touch latency issues on the OnePlus 6.
2. Battery drain issue
Several users were reporting that the battery life had been affected on their devices as the battery consumption while on standby was higher than normal, therefore, the battery life wasn’t up to the mark. OnePlus has addressed the issue with the OTA update now and claims to have Optimized standby power consumption.
This is great news for those on the OxygenOS beta build, as now the battery life would be much better than before especially while the device is on standby.
3. Automatic call answering issue
OnePlus 6 users were reporting that they were experiencing issues while on calls because, if they received a second call while using the answer calls by gesture feature, the second call would automatically be answered.
OnePlus claims to have fixed the issue with the OxygenOS Open beta 4 update now. This fix is much appreciated as automatically answering calls could be annoying for everyone. OnePlus also has claimed to have optimized the speed dialing UI and calling interface in with the new update.
Note: These issues have been fixed only for users running the OxygenOS Beta build, not in the stable update which is available as OxygenOS 9.0. OnePlus may roll out an update to fix issues for the stable build in a couple of days.
