If you have a OnePlus 7 or a OnePlus 7T in your possession and you were waiting for the brand to update the phones to Android 11 according to its update schedule, we have bad news. As you can read in the title of this article, the firm has been forced to delay the arrival of Google’s latest operating system on phones.
The company has posted a message on its own forum informing users that the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7T series models are facing data decryption issues after updating the phones to Android 11 . Therefore, the company has had to delay the arrival of the software and fail to fulfill its upgrade plans.
The tests performed on the update from Android 11 to the OnePlus 7 and 7T series have found the problem of a failure in the data decryption after the update. This issue prevented us from reaching the original 7 series plan to fit Android 11. We are working with the Qualcomm technical team to find a solution as soon as possible. After negotiation, Qualcomm is expected to provide a solution this week. If it goes well, we will start the closed beta this month and open the public beta as soon as possible in the future.
How long to wait?
The brand’s update schedule indicated that its terminals, the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro , as well as the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro , would be updated to Android 11 throughout the month of December. However, this delay could take us until January.
The good news is, as the statement says, OnePlus is working with Qualcomm’s technical team to fix this issue as soon as possible and it looks like the fix should be available within a week. If this is achieved and the firm manages to get everything going according to plan, then the closed beta could launch this month and the open beta soon after.
In addition to incorporating the classic corrections of errors and bugs discovered in Android 10, among the news that the two mobiles would receive from the mobile manufacturer, highlight the new options to manage notifications, especially in chat apps, the change in the interface of the system, again tending to minimalism, and new security options that have to do with the control of application permissions carried out by the OnePlus operating system.
