OnePlus8T FAQ
In this post, I will take on the most frequently asked questions so that you don't have to scroll through the whole subreddit. Please look first if your problem can be solved by anything that is mentioned here, before posting.
- I've seen a question asked many times, can I add it to this post?
- This FAQ is dynamic, just message me, I'll add it if I agree that it belongs here.
- Is the camera really that bad?
- It depends on what you compare it to. Compared to the S20 Ultra or iPhone 12 Pro, it underperforms.
- compared to the phones in the same price range the camera is very good
- The camera is mediocre and can deliver very beautiful and crisp shots. Sometimes you may need to take two or three pictures and a bit of editing to get an epic result.
- If you want to see some examples, sort this subreddit by upvotes.
- If you are not happy with the results of the stock camera, try Gcam mod with Arnova config as mentioned here
- Is the 65W Warp charge worth it?
- YES!
- Is YouTube in 120Hz?
- No, Youtube says it's on OP to implement it, OP says it's on YouTube.
- You can force 120Hz in the feed with this paid application but the videos are capped at 60Hz.
- There is also YouTube Vanced it's basically the YT App we always asked for. No ads (optional), SponsorBlock a true dark mode and 120Hz feed. Just google it.
- I have a bad SoT, what to do?
- Try what I explained in this post.
- Check if a certain app consumes inappropriately much juice.
- Check if you have good signal strength at home.
- Lower the display brightness.
- Set the battery saver threshold to 20%.
- Don't try to "calibrate" your phone by doing the 100-0-100% cycle. It doesn't do anything but harms your battery.
- Ask this community
- Which screen protector should I buy?
- Fits 100%, you get a nice package and a nice application frame. If you don't mind spending a buck, buy the one from OP's website.
- Fits ~98% is cheap, the frame doesn't fit but you get 3 glass panes: LK from amazon
- What case can you recommend?
- 8T vs. 9/9Pro
- An upgrade is not worth it
- Almost the same phones, new one is a bit faster but has no OIS.
- 8T is considerably cheaper
- 8T update support will end half a year earlier than the 9 lineup.
- 9 series has wireless charging
- Is just the T-mobile version waterproof?
- No, all of them are completely waterproof (IP68) but unofficially to reduce costs.
- You will have no warranty on water damages
- Why don't I get the software update that some people posted about?
- Relax, software updates never get rolled out for all at once. This reduces the load on the servers and if the update is faulty, not all users have a bad experience.
- Some regions and models will get the update later. -Especially the T-mobile version
- To update manually any update that's available in your region try Oxygen Updater.
- Any tips I might find useful?
- As the screen is an AMOLED, permanent burn-ins are possible and also just a matter of time. Be sure, which icons you really need in the top right corner.

Not all heroes wear capes, some of them make FAQ posts
Thx :3
What a lifesaver. After many months of owning this device (OnePlus 8T) I had trouble finding good case/screen protector even though I waited this long hoping the market would adjust. I am glad someone cleared all my worries in one go.
