Face Unlock much slower after today's update =( - OnePlus 5T Questions & Answers

After updating to 43 OTA 004, Faceunlock is no longer instant. now you see first the lockscreen flash and then UI slide in. I went back to 43 OTA 003, but same situation.
before it was just press powerbutton/doubletap screen and the screen turned on showing instantly UI whereever you left off. just like all the reviewers showed it. I dont have file to go back to inital firmware 001 .... :/
VERY DISAPPOINTING, it really breaks the "instant" feeling. hope they fix it soon.
meanwhile, no speed increase in fingerprint reader. still slightly slower than OP3.
UPDATE: solved - it is Nova Launcher with a custom wallpaper that caused this -> back to Oneplus launcher, set new wallpaper = FaceUnlock instant again!

Not a terrible trade-off for more security.
FP sensor still fast af.

coming from OP3, that s not true... at least not for me YMMV
i can upload side-by-side vid tonight.

Hope everyone is reporting these "bugs" to OnePlus instead of just reporting them here.

reason for posting it here is to find out if anyone else experiencing this

ewww i hope not, then there is no difference than what was on the OP3/T smart lock, i liked the option that u didn't have to swipe up, i will prob return mine if this is the case.

thanks, ok then i did something to cause it... hm too bad

Here on 4.7.2 its also slow.

I had the same problem and factory reset: face unlock is back to being instant, and the finger print reader is noticeably faster. It is troublesome, however, that an OTA forced me to factory reset a 3 day old phone...

I have also reset after update but not solved.

I updated homescreen and lockscreen wallpaper with a custom one and experienced a slight drop on face unlock speed. Meaning that I was able to see the lockscreen for 1/10 of a second before the homescreen was there. I reverted the wallpaper choosing one of oneplus 's and face unlock speed was back to instant. Just a tip.

Works fine for me. I'm on FreedomOS based on Oxygen 4.7.2.

Double press power button to launch camera

Okay, call me crazy, but I am positive that that shortcut was not present before. I have the latest security patch, no root, no bootloader unlocked, no custom rom. I double pressed it and the camera launched. I don't know if it has to do with hiding the stock Sense Home screen via adb. I don't know what I did. I don't find a setting or anything in the entire system.

It also works on any screen and app. Software number varies, though.
Works with motion launch turned on or off.

Well, Nexus phones have had that for a while, Samsung too (with the home button). I just find it random that it randomly appeared on my 10, no mention of it anywhere.

Now that you mention it, I remember someone on the Viper10 thread requesting it, and saying it was available on Nexus. I have never owned a Nexus phone myself; only Nexus tablets; but the new Pixel line is certainly intriguing.

It's a nice feature, fastest camera shortcut, imo. Somehow, I am the only one to have it naturally. I asked LlabTooFeR on Twitter and he doesn't know about it, said it could be a "bug".

I don't know. It randomly appeared.
But Like I said, I hid the Sense Lock Screen for it to be replaced with the AOSP Lock screen. (no root, no boot unlocking, no tricks, no hacks)

Thing is, it works on any screen, any app. I'd tie it more to the Lock screen if it only worked there, but nope. Works everywhere. I can record a video to prove it.

We have that feature in our rom.
I stumbled across this earlier in the week when I disabled the stock locksceen. It's a nice unexpected feature.

Anyone successful with getting this to stock rom?
I have only tried some apps but don't work
Yeah, I read it somewhere, it's one of the effects of disabling the HTC Lockscreen. Having the stock Android Lockscreen enables that double press shortcut.
I have a question too though, does the fingerprint scanner work on the Stock Android Lockscreen?
Question: how do I disable this feature?

EDIT: That's where to do it on the Pixel devices. I don't remember exactly where on the HTC 10, but it should be something similar (my 10 is dead now, so....)

Just got the OTA 8.2.1.0 MAGMIDL update - should I install?

Not sure if this is a stable build. Should I go ahead and install?
Also got it offered here, Global 8.2.1.0.MAGMIDL on OTA. 706MB. It appeared just after opening the updater app.
I've installed and haven't noticed any major improvements. Fingerprint scanner seems to be working faster but may just be my imagination.
There is an UI imrovements where the text is now black for your 3rd party music player in notification cards. Also, I may be going crazy but my battery lasts longer...

Sorry, I never had that problem before, and I don't have it now
activate fingerprint and use it some time. after that check Android system usage. Also check wake look time for Android system.

Please check it installing Wakelock Detector [LITE] from Google Play Store and start it.
Then when it's time to charge the battery start it again, press the first of the three buttons on the top right corner and select "CPU Wakelock".
Tap on "Android System" and post a screenshot.
I've got it installed since Thursday. So far I would say the battery time is the same or slightly better. I do use the fingerprint scanner and I think it's slightly faster than before. Everything else, Bluetooth, Wifi and GPS so far working nice.
Only downside, the Security app had the cleaner function reactivated after the update. I'm pretty sure I had it disabled before. All other functions of the Security app seem to have kept their settings.

You are talking about 8.0.3.0?
That's because there was no problem with qfp-service on the previous version.
I think that's caused by a (bad) attempt to fix the fp reader after many complaints on the official forum.

Better fingerprint reader functionality (Its the only build with a working FP reader for me)
Worse battery life
Slight UI changes.
You decide.

Rom with always on display?

Does anyone know of a rom that has always on display? I was going to go with codename phoenix but it has been discontinued and I don't know of another one.
Omni has it. Codename Phoenix is still being built, just no dedicated support. It's rock solid loaded with features.
Also, there is a substratum theme that supports it as well.

I believe it works in all the 8.1 Roms as long as you flash the OOS Oreo firmware.
As mentioned apparently you can enable this feature on the 8.1 only.
I use Always on Amoled from the store or glance plus. They both work well.

You are alright im not developer but probably don't have the same functionality as ambient display backed in a rom.

EMUI8 Themes bug

I've been experiencing this annoying bug where the brightness slider would stay blue on custom themes after rebooting, does anybody have a fix for this? (see attached screens)
I think that can't be changed, even on older phones with theme apps like gravitybox, I could never change the color of the slider lol.
The title of this thread is misleading lol. The slider can't be changed, it;s not a problem with your device, do not worry. lol

I Don't Think So, Nothing Has Been Fixed , It Seems Just A Regular Security Patch. Lets Wait And See For Other Members Response.
Testing in Serbia ???️???️?????
First 10 min.
*Less aggressive ram management, solid multitasking (now I'm afraid for the battery life, but we will see).
*Better 4G signal
For now...
Adiós muchachos!
Yup, prompted here in Brazil.
I've just downloaded it here in Mexico. It seems they have disabled the double tap to wake functionality. For me this is great, the phone kept unlocking inside my pocket.

Received in Greece where I'm currently at.

Got it in Belgium an hour ago. Everything works as it should so far.
No one else noticed the weird screen rotation bug? When you rotate the screen from landscape to portrait?

Coming from a Redmi Note 4 with LineageOS, i do miss DTTW. Especially when i'm riding my bike and have the phone in a waterproof cover. I wish I could double tap the screen instead of trying to find the power button through the zipper on the right side of the holder.
Hello, please provide OTA link as soon as it is posible, thanks
