Rumour has it that the latest OnePlus OxygenOS 5 update system has faced some battery drain issue. Many devices from the company have this as well, including the OnePlus 6. Keep reading for more details!

OnePlus OxygenOS 5 update issue

OnePlus has recently released an OTA OxygenOS 5 update for a number of its devices; including the OnePlus 3/3T, OnePlus 5/5T and OnePlus 6. But while the software update aims to fix some issues and deliver small features, it seems that it has also caused some trouble to a significant portion of the user base. To be specific, many users on OnePlus forums complain about severe battery drain on the OnePlus 6; after updating to the OxygenOS 5.1.6 and Oxygen 5.1.8.

Without changing their daily routine, the device now gets half the screen on time from before. There’s also an issue with the phone completely shutting down even when the battery is above 50%. It works just as fine when you plug it back in, but it’s still an annoying thing. Furthermore, a few people have reported that they are also experiencing camera app freezes. In addition to the OnePlus 6 battery drain complaints, the same problem happens with the old OnePlus 3 and 3T as well.

For instance, the battery just dies within a couple of hours in standby without any warnings at 15%. For now, users are speculating that the screen is draining more battery than it should, which causes a bug coming with the latest OTA system update.

Will there be an OxygenOS 5 bug fix update in the future?

Since many people have faced the same problem, we hope an update is on its way to fix the screen on time, before the situation gets out of hand. And plus, we wonder if the OnePlus 5 and 5T users are having the same kind of issues or it’s just limited to the OnePlus 6, 3 and 3T.
