The OnePlus 6T has been announced for around a week at this point and its already receiving another software update to help fix some performance issues. The OxygenOS 9.0.5 patch targets some issues seen specifically around the screen unlock feature.
This is the second patch OnePlus has issued to the OnePlus 6T showing that the company is very quick to respond to any problems that are reported now the device is available to the masses. While the software is extensively tested prior to release, there is nothing that can compare to thousands (and in some case millions) of people putting the software through its paces following a release. The first update came with OxygenOS 9.0.4 and saw improvements to the in-display fingerprint sensor – a feature that is brand new to the OnePlus 6T. Despite the improvements delivered in this patch, some users were still experiencing issues with the screen unlock procedure, which OnePlus has responded to with the OxygenOS 9.0.5 patch.
The changelog for the patch simply lists improvements for screen unlock and general bug fixes and improvements. While not going into specific detail, it is obvious that OnePlus has targetted the bugs reported by the users.
The update comes in at 94MB and is delivered by an OTA. Consequently, this will be a staged release so it may not be immediately available in the update section but be sure to keep checking as it will eventually filter down to your device. If you are impatient, you can of course just download it directly using this link and manually install on your device.
