Hey everyone,

I’ve been daily driving the OnePlus Buds 4 for about 20 days now, putting in around 8 to 10 hours a day for music, calls, and videos. I upgraded straight from the OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z2 neckband, and the difference is night and day.

Coming from a single-driver neckband, the jump in soundstage width, micro-detail, and instrument separation on these dual drivers was immediately noticeable. Easily the best all-around package under ₹10k right now in terms of battery endurance, solid ANC, and hardware capability.

That said, out of the box, the stock tuning is overly bass-heavy and slightly recessed in the mids. After extensive A/B testing across acoustic, hip-hop, and rock tracks, I built this custom 6-band profile to balance the sound signature.

The EQ Breakdown (-4, -2, +2, +1, -1, +2)

62 Hz (-4 dB): Cuts the bloated stock sub-bass shelf. You still get fast, tight sub-bass punch without the 11mm woofer muddying the rest of the track.

250 Hz (-2 dB): Cleans up the mid-bass veil and eliminates boxiness, giving male vocals and rhythm guitars much cleaner separation.

1 kHz (+2 dB): Corrects the recessed midrange dip, pulling vocals and lead instruments directly into the center stage.

4 kHz (+1 dB): Adds crisp consonant articulation and snare snap without pushing into the harsh, piercing territory at higher volumes.

8 kHz (-1 dB): Tames the micro-tweeter’s natural resonance peak to kill vocal sibilance ("S" and "T" hissing) and harsh cymbal crashes.

16 kHz (+2 dB): Restores top-end air and reverberation decay, widening the soundstage significantly.

Companion Settings

3D Audio / Spatial Audio: OFF (Prevents artificial phasing and audio smearing).

Golden Sound: OFF (Keeps the baseline frequency response consistent).

Quick 20-Day Takeaways

Battery Life: Easily handles marathon 8+ hour work sessions without battery anxiety. Fast charging top-ups are lightning quick.

ANC: Cuts low-frequency background hums and room fans effortlessly.

Hardware-wise, these punch well above their weight class once you dial in the EQ.

For anyone currently using the Buds 4, give this custom EQ preset a spin on your favorite playlist and let me know how it sounds to your ears. Open to any tweaks or thoughts in the comments!

I am a little bit shocked. I recently bought a Oneplus 15 from Swiftronics, and the transaction went great. Quick delivery with no surprizes. Now, I ordered a Sandstone case from them. The price was $19.99. Shipping was the first unpleasant surprize at $14.99, but I decided to eat it. Now, I got a notification from the UPS that import fees of $31.60 must be paid before delivery! So, it would be a total of $65 for a phone case!

Refusing the shipment does not seem to be an option. They threaten additional fees if I don't pay right away.

I do not blame Swiftronics for the fees that US imposes. But it would have been nice to be aware of them (and of how high they are (150% of the cost?!) before ordering.

After a bit of reading around Reddit and other places I bought a new battery on AliExpress and replaced the old one. It's the OnePlus 12 model with 6000mha but works just fine on the 11. The only caveat is that the new battery is a little smaller so it leaves a gap on the bottom. No rattle or anything since it's glued. Did it myself and it was fairly easy.

Just wanted to leave this info here for people who are still happy with their OP11 like me but the battery is a little bit of a problem after 3 years.

I've used the search bar since it was a thing and now they just decided to remove it

Newer phones are too tall for one-handed notification shade and quick settings pull without physical fingerprint sensor so I made  Nodtify to pull down the shade with a quick forward tilt of the phone.

Would love your feedback and thoughts!

I use Pure Talk. Traded in an S24 for OP15 and transfered it myself. Then called support, blanked network settings, and had them push the latest. Everything was peachy.

Now, weeks later, I pick up the phone and dial someone and I notice my finger-touches aren't sounding and when I hold the phone to my ear after dialing, it's silent. Volume buttons do nothing. But the power button works. Powering off and back on seems to restore things but often not for long. HELP?!?!?!!

I'm talking about the "GAMES /Unrivaled Performance" thing.

Not only is it pretty meaningless, but I have several games that show some information when they start up and it covers the information, which disappears before the pop up does.

Googling for a solution was not encouraging, but maybe I just missed it.

My key board is driving me insane , when I use a letter from the top row it sometimes types the number ,I'm not holding my finger on it . not always but a lot of the time . Is there any fix

When OP release the 16 to US citizens at any time? If not is there a way an American can buy the new OP 16 or any new releases?

OnePlus 16 will apparently support running 165Hz at all times or basically everywhere and not just in 4 social media apps and games as the current OnePlus 15 does. Curious to see how that will feel.

Hello all, I have been having my OP13 for about a month now and I LOVE IT.I have been using Nexus and Pixel phones for a very very long time, and recently was using a Pixel 8 Pro. I wanted to use the P8P for a very long time, but the battery was shot (was at 50% by noon) and the reception on it was getting weak. So I looked around for the first time for an android I could use in the US on Verizon that wasnt a Pixel or a Samsung. Boy was I disappointed lol. I knew LG, HTC and a few others who ever making phones shut down, but I didnt realize just HOW bad it was.

After searching, it seemed the the OP13 and 15 were the only newer phones that had Verizon's bands in it that I could use in the US. This is actually my 2nd OP13. My 1st one was rated "fair" on ebay, but the screen was scratch all to hell. It was the ocean blue one and I really loved the color of it. I was very sad about the screen being messed up, but I used it to experiment to see if I would actually like the OP13. I had it while I was on vacation, so I must have set up and reset the phone like 5 times lol. Once I figured out how to get it set up like my Pixel was, I went ahead and ordered the black one you see in above.

The battery life and modem are AMAZING. It smashes the Pixel in every way. CPU too. I legit can go the 0630 to 2200 on one charge. My P8P would need to be charged at least 2 times to make it. Having an AMOLED screen is amazing too, havent had one since my Galaxy Nexus. Also having an actual flagship CPU and 512GB of storage is amazing. I was running out of 128Gb on my pixel.

Software: Oxygen OS is actually pretty cool, as its been forever since I used something that was "pure" android.

If you are coming from a pixel there are a few things you will have to change to get it like you want it:

Go into Dev settings and change DPI to 449. It will shrink everything down

Put on alert for every email for gmail

I turned off the dual drawers for notifications and quick settings. I rather the old style.

Yes I am weird and turned on the soft buttons as I hate gestures.

Not the biggest fan folders taken up the entire screen when opening them up.

Launcher is a little different from the Pixel one but it doesnt take long to get used to

Also on display not always being on is fine for me. My pixel was always on and now I have it set to turn off (AMOLEDs can have burn in so I get why they dont want it always on by default)

Notifications are a little different from a Pixel. If you unlock your phone and look at the notifications but dont clear them, they wont show back up on your lock screen. I know that is normal for some, but on a pixel, they dont go away until you clear them (dont know if you can change this)

Overal, The OP13 is amazing and I love it. I am sad I didnt switch sooner. When I saw that the Pixel 11 was going to be more money with less features, that is when I knew I had to go else where. If you are on the fence about switching, do it now. Plus OP13 is one of the last phones that allows you to unlock the bootloader. I am very sad OP has basically been shutdown and has left NA and EU, as they were the last phones that actually pushed Samsuck to do something better.

Long story short, all of a sudden no L1 support for Netflix. Drminfo shows L1, it was an L1 for a long time, Europe version, just official updates, no bootloader unlocked. But Netflix only SD due to L3 that it detects. (It detected L1 some time ago). Prime and other streaming services suffer too. Of course there are plenty of similar issues on OnePlus forum, but no support from the company - what the root cause is, what the user should do, bug confirmation etc.

No wonder why Samsung and apple took EU. Sorry op, customer service is non existant. (And no, telling to delete cache and reinstall app which doesn't help is not a support I would like).

Such issue should not exist in the first place in a 1 year new Europe sold phone. And I can see this topic is recurring and users are complaining about same thing over and over again since you still allow that to happen.

I’ve seen some people saying that the (oneplus phones)OnePlus 13s has an issue where dark scenes, especially the black areas in HDR videos, aren’t properly visible. Does this issue also happen with regular normal (SDR) videos, or is it mainly an HDR problem?

My main camera has an inburn and I want to use my phone for distance photography with my 60x telephoto lens but my options are:

1x camera with a stain in the middle

0.6x camera with high quality loss

2x camera only if the phone likes the environment (random)

Can I somehow use the 2x camera specifically?

Oneplus 15 running the latest update to this date. I purchased it 3 days ago, and since then, can't connect to the android auto in the car, Seat Ateca 2023 with supporting of wired android auto only. 

I tried all method there's their including changing cables, delete Data and cache, checking for updates, remove AA updates and updating again, any thing I could find and might can solve it.

The problem is that:

When connecting to the system, first charging appears than trying the connection and the system screen shows fail error and the phone go back to charging, but somehow in the notification center it shows android auto connected although nothing in the app shows a car is connected or added

Did a little investigation, I set the usb default configuration to the data transfer, but when I connect the phone to the cable, the USB configuration changes to charging only, even when the default states data transfer, and I can't figure out why. 

Any idea what I am missing here? Why it forced to change to charging only?

I added a screen video of the issue, you can see the setting changing once the system tried to connect the phone (Apologies for the Hebrew language in the video, I asked to send it to some support).

Thanks!

I have been noticing one issue regarding fast charging disabling only it allows normal charging even with original 100W charger for my oneplus nord ce 4 after 16ps update and only from 2days before onwards

Even I tried with another charger I got same issue but with my charger and other chargers. Other mobiles are working

Hey folks,
I’m setting up my old OnePlus 6 as a dedicated testbed for a few self-hosted services (Jellyfin being the main one) and want to use it with an external USB drive over OTG while it stays plugged in and charging 24/7.
Problem: on stock OxygenOS, the phone straight up refuses to do OTG storage + charging simultaneously — it’s either one or the other, even with a decent USB-C hub (PD passthrough port and all). From what I’ve read this seems to be a known OxygenOS-level limitation, not a hub/cable issue.
Since this is a dedicated testbed device, I don’t care about daily-driver stability — happy to wipe it and flash a custom ROM if that fixes USB host-mode behavior.
Questions:
Has anyone gotten simultaneous OTG + charging working on the OP6 with a custom ROM (LineageOS, crDroid, etc.)? Which one, and did it actually work?

Is this a kernel-level fix, or is it hard-blocked by the hardware itself?

For a Jellyfin box use case specifically — would I be better off skipping OTG storage entirely and just running it headless with a USB hub always powered, or is there a cleaner setup (e.g., network-attached storage instead of local OTG drive) that sidesteps this whole issue?

Specs: OnePlus 6 (A6003), currently on stock OOS, willing to unlock bootloader/flash TWRP if needed.
Thanks in advance!

I want to game on my 15R with wired 3.5mm headphones while using Bypass Charging. Has anyone actually tested a dongle that supports both and can confirm Bypass Charging works with the original OnePlus charger?

Does anyone have an idea of what can cause that ?

Saw this deal on aliexpress and checked the seller, which was shown as the "official" oneplus seller. Wanted to ask how likely this is to be a scam and if anyone has bought anything from this store? There are many oneplus products on the sellers page with some products having 500+ reviews.

Can anyone help?

I have a Oneplus 11 5G with OxygenOS 16.0.5 (CPH2449_16.0.5.1002 EX01B50P02)

• Returned Android Auto unit and bough a different one
• Resetting bluetooth & wifi networks
• Updated phone
• Uupdated Android Auto
• Cleared Android Auto data & cache
• Tryed connecting different phone to the Android Auto unit and does not crash
