OnePlus 7T starts getting OxygenOS 10.0.5 with Oct. patch

It might seem unusual for OnePlus to have some sort of delay when it comes to updates, but it does happen. The company started rolling out the OxygenOS 10.0.5 update for the OnePlus 7T. The update brings a slightly out-of-date October patch, a fix for the double-tap gesture issue that lets you activate your display even when it's locked, as well as the usual system stability and bug fixes. The update is rolling out globally right now, so keep your eyes peeled for it to head your way.

OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 10, which is based on Android 10, to the OnePlus 6 and 6T. But they had to stop the release to the former because of some problems with the fingerprint scanner. However, those who have the OnePlus 6T should expect the update to head your way soon. The update brings with it new Game Space, improved location and privacy settings, and many more. It's a sizeable 2GB update, and the release is staggered, so don't be worried if it doesn't head your way immediately.

OnePlus 6, 6T gets Android 10 open beta

The OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T are the latest devices from the company to get access to the open beta of OxygenOS based on Android 10. To download it, you'll need a minimum of 3GB of storage. As with any beta release, this version is unstable, so practice caution when installing this update. Make sure you aren't putting it into your primary device. OnePlus has instructions on how you can roll back to your existing version of Android.

The update brings with it a new UI design, improved location permissions for privacy, new Game Space feature, and icon customization in the Quick Settings. There are now inward swipe gestures to go back, and a bottom navigation bar to let you switch left or right for recent apps. It's now also possible to block spam by keywords in the Message app, and the Ambient Display gets new information based on specific times, locations, and events.

OnePlus 7 Pro gets August security update ahead of Google Pixel devices

One benefit of using a Google Pixel device is getting updates and patches ahead of its competition. But it looks like OnePlus beat Google to the punch this time. The company has started rolling out the OxygenOS 9.5.11 update to OnePlus 7 Pro users, which brings with it the August security patch. Some of the other updates include enhanced Adaptive Brightness, improved sensitivity of the touchscreen while playing a mobile game, and optimized accidental touches with the notification bar while in a call. The Google Mobile Services have been updated to June 2019 as well. There are other bug fixes and performance improvements included in this update.

As for what issues the August security patch fixes, we won’t know until Google releases the notes for it. This version of OxygenOS is rolling out in stages, though. So if you own a OnePlus 7 Pro and don’t have it yet, you just have to wait for a bit.
