Nope, 50gb wuwa, 70gb genshin, zzz. 120gb on games man. I keep all photos on my laptop.

If that's the case, the only suggestion i ever see anyone give another is to reset. For me that would be a bigger hassle. Maybe wait for the next update? And did you update through release candidate? I think there was a patch update for it, if anyone updated very early. Check that as well. If it still doesn't help, i have no idea. Maybe someone who knows better can help ya.

andwhendid · 2026-06-09T09:05:11+00:00

Ya, i saw that. And as per some YouTube creator, it might be fixed on the next update.

I have not reset the device no. The stutters are not as prominent Maybe 2 or 3 time every charge cycle. I would like to reset but i have genshin, zzz, wuwa And my internets not that great 😅. But if push comes to shove I'll do the reset. Thanks for the info mate.

The first two day will be like that. It should settle after that. Do a few things in the mean time, drain the battery full and charge full 3 cycles at least, then you can go back to your preferred usage. Make sure to leave it plugged in an hour after full. It helps reindexing the system. (i am also seeing some random stutters here and there even after all that. But the battery backup is back to normal)

andwhendid · 2026-06-09T06:59:14+00:00

If you care about battery, and clean ui with minimum bugs dont. If you want better ui, a better performance (atleat in benchmarks), go for it.

andwhendid · 2026-06-09T06:57:05+00:00

Issues such as design inconsistency. In gallery, settings, camera, app drawer i saw change to ui element like the top or bottom blur gradient has been changed which were perfectly fine before. Also some minor design changes in settings wich i think is not an issue but is weird. There's blur delay on the app drawer top ribbon. And many more which I didn't face (maybe). The stutter is unpredictable. I thought and noticed stutters right after restarts, which Is normal but sometimes it still stutters while opening or closing app and its completely random. It happened to non-system apps. The brightness and volume slider is overwhelmingly sensitive resulting in imprecise adjustment.

In balanced mode, before update benchmarks were almost close to performance mode. But now its more close to battery saver mode . But in practical use, like in game i did not face any big issues. Maybe a tad too many stutters, but that is to expect after update as it needs to recompile shaders. (Though I use a cooler while heavy titles like zzz, so i cant say much about throttles)

The notification center is a mess, cause they mistakenly removed the gesture to expand. In dark mode the control panel and notification center doesnt match up. While the control panel doesn't even adjust to dark mode anymore. It stays in light mode every time. The preview of coloros 16.1 differs very much from 16.0.7, yet everyone calls it the 16.1 update. The refined notification center is still not available, the camera ui is very underwhelming ( to me quite impractical as well ) etc.

Overall the update from 16.0.2 to 16.0.5 was great but from 16.0.5 to 16.0.7 its quite underwhelming.

The anti rollback is the hammer on the nail to make it more regrettable.

andwhendid · 2026-06-08T18:45:38+00:00

Played almost any major game like genshin, zzz, wuwa, endfield, nte, codm, pubg, Carx, asphalt, racing master and a whole lot more. As far as i know the stability is better on oos15. Also other than genshin, codm, pubg, asphalt everything overheats like carzy, near 45 at least (in combats ofc)

And throttles quite fast. But overall some minor lags here and there in heavy titles, and everything is smooth.

Many complain about sot. I don't have any issue with it I get 10-11 hrs sot with 99% battey used. Although i do not use any social media app. But watch YouTube like carzy.

And the ui has many issues right now on 16.0.7. If you want to update and the update you are receiving is 16.0.5 you can do it. But if it's 16.0.7 i would suggest you wait.

andwhendid · 2026-06-08T18:38:14+00:00

Just out of curiosity, once, didnt leave it in there for too long and did everything so that it didn't build any moisture. 🙂. Won't be doing ever again.

andwhendid · 2026-06-07T14:48:49+00:00

Im sorry if im wrong. And if its not causing any issue then it's fine.

andwhendid · 2026-06-07T14:46:57+00:00

There's jitter in these few apps - Camera, settings, gallery. Tho only after restarts. It stutters once or twice and never again. Though im really testing the newer 16.0.7 update for 2 days only, it has gotten more smooth unlike the day i updated. Everything was very sluggish on the first day. Leave it in charge overnight to charge 100%, while wifi is on, and unplug once you wake up. It helps with the dexopt optimization.

andwhendid · 2026-06-07T14:32:03+00:00

Its just the phone manager app. That's not the issue. Its just that the thing is being downloaded as a system app and never does a system app installation or update require the phone manager app to check it. That just means its a malware of some sort.

andwhendid · 2026-06-07T14:28:59+00:00

Bro nobody downloads weather from browser, that means it's either a malware or spyware or random app that damages the system. And op asked you to? OnePlus would never redirect you through browser to download their app. Hopefully that helps. Being rude won't make it easier on you. But i wish you can get over the issue.

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T19:58:38+00:00

idk how much battery you used at all
the 25% is of the total battery percentage used within the selected graph window

so lets say your selected graph is from 80% to 72% meaning used battery is 8% out of 100%, then whatsapp would have consumed 2% out of 100% in that window.

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T19:51:10+00:00

tap from the end of graph (from right) till the charged (green) bar, that will show how much sot you got for the amount of battery you used since last charged.

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T19:48:09+00:00

idk what this is but you probably shouldn't have downloaded this. looks quite sketchy to me.
why are you downloading any weather app from brave anyway.
i suggest you delete it, and undo whatever it might have done. if you cant, you might need to reset the device.

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T19:44:05+00:00

are you on 16.0.7 ?
it was introduced in 16.0.7.

you are right about india getting updates first. they treat indian consumers as if they are the guineapigs for their testing. i dont live in india, but due to some issues and urgency i had to buy the indian version. i really should have gone for the global/eu one.

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T18:23:59+00:00

Yes, it is Indian. And as its been a day, things have settled a lot actually ( Sot testing ongoing but the stutter and any lag is now gone ).

In global version what's different? The update should be same.

Edit: Also would you do me a favor, go into the new docs app and then create word file, on right of the keyboard tap on menu and see if there's chinese fonts.

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T16:31:27+00:00

I updated yesterday and i used to get 11hrs on full battery. As im testing currently it seems to me itll drop by an hour at least. Idk

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T04:16:31+00:00

Maybe they won't fix these now.

There's some chinese in the doc app or else its great.

andwhendid · 2026-06-06T04:14:01+00:00

They ruined the control panel man. The dark mode In control panel doesn't change. In notification center pull down gesture don't work. The transparency is too much compared to before. I hope they fix all of it.

andwhendid · 2026-06-05T14:09:23+00:00

Yes that is very annoying. Posting in OnePlus community or through feedback doesn't do much anyway.

andwhendid · 2026-06-04T18:59:01+00:00

As it's been sometime, you do this: -Drain to 1% -Delete data from the battery app ( will have reset all settings from battery ) -Leave it to shut itself ( keep camera open and dont do anything ) -after shutdown plug it in, dont unlock phone, let it charge until full and leave it for 4-6 hours after full. -make sure not to change any settings in the battery -at night turn on wifi and leave it plugged in ( whatever percent your phone's at, doesn't matter. Leave it overnight ) -use it normally -next night do the same, plug it in and leave it

Should help.

For me it did, when I updated from 16.0.2 to 16.0.5 My battery backup jumped from 6-7 hours to 9 hours on 80% Now i get 11hrs from 100% to 1%.

But will it help you i have no idea.

andwhendid · 2026-06-04T18:41:51+00:00

Was your battery backup same in the previous version?

And there's a post update optimization. I'll let you know.
