Is it worth updating to 4.0.3? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

I just got a new OnePlus 3t, and was wondering if it is worth updating to 4.0.3. I've been hearing a lot of people have issues with the battery life, the sliders, etc. With these in mind, is it worth updating to 4.0.3 or should I stay on 3.5.4?

I am on 7.1.1 beta and don't have any issues

Depends on what you intend to use your phone for. The biggest reason to stay on OOS 3.x would be for Xposed. I personally have not noticed any issues with OOS 4.x though.

Should I upgrade OOS 3.5.3 to 3.5.4?

Brand new OP 3T. Should I do the upgrade? Does it bring in improvements enough to upgrade?
Not planning on upgrading to Nougat anytime soon, will wait for OP to fix all bugs.

Yes, definitely. And then upgrade to Nougat. Nougat is much better than OOS 3.5 in my experience. It has better battery life, it is smoother and has less bugs.
Also you are putting yourself in a risk when not upgrading to the latest version. Nougat contains important security fixes.
3.5.4 has been having some issues, regarding Bluetooth for example.
Nougat appears to be bug-free based on forum posts.

I dunno, if you read the Oneplus forums it seems nougat is riddled with bugs. I'm probably gonna wait till the next maintenance release before I update.

I'm new to the OnePlus scene, but one thing I learned very quickly is to prefer the XDA Forum to the OnePlus one. Not that one is better that the other, but the opinions and the users here are a lot more informed and experienced.
Regarding Nougat, no problems on mt end. Clean install a couple of hours ago - with the help of Michalko5896

[QUESTION] Anyone else is still on OOS 3.5.3?

I am resisting the temptation of upgrading to N, as I am not convinced that OnePlus has still not released a solid/completely bug-free N build till now. Anyone else out there, like me, who is thinking along the same lines?

At first I wanted to see how stable it was (and it wasn't), but now it should be fine.
I'm personally waiting for Xposed to become Nougat compatible before upgrading, though.
I'll wait for them to fix the touch latency issues then i'll upgrade.
Currently on rooted stock 3.5.4 with xposed.
still waiting for xposed on nougat...
CM13 with Xposed runs so nice I have no reason to 'upgrade' 2 months averaging over 12 hours of screen on time has me hooked.
Waiting for xposed, like the rest of us.

I feel the same way with the stock ROM OOS 3.5.3, everything is working well and stable, battery around 5 hour SOT (which is huge for me coming from my old phone). In fact, I was an avid custom ROM flasher, but now I don't even feel like flashing any custom ROMs or even rooting
Now I know why people call this the Nexus replacement

Nexus 6 better on Lollipop, Marshmallow or Nougat?

Hello everyone,
When I purchased my Nexus 6 it had 6.0.1 Marshmallow preinstalled on it and then I took the ota's to 7.0/7.1.1 Nougat.
I'm curious as to how Lollipop ran on the Shamu.
For those who got their Nexus 6 with Lollipop on it and have gone all the way up to Nougat, I would like to know which one you think runs the best on it in terms of performance, battery life, and overall effeciency?
Dont go back to lollipop - worthless. Shamu runs great on both marshmallow and nougat - all comes down to your attachment to xposed, if You are not - go with nougat, if You are - stick with marshmallow. From my personal experience battery life is better on nougat, at least in my case, overall smoothness imo is better on nougat + security updates. You just gotta spend some time with both and see what fits you better.
My bet - Nougat.
Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
I would say the best running is 6.0. 7.x brought worst battery early shut down issues. 7.x is being labled as google vista. Buggy and annoying.
Thanks. Good insight. Appreciate it.
My Shamu is buggy on 7.1.1 stock rom. Think I may revert back to 6.0.
I just want to point out, much of the "buggy", "early shutdown" issues reported are related to the age of the battery. I experienced these problems...until I replaced my battery
I just made the switch to 7.1.2 and I have to say that I really noticed a difference in battery life. My device seems to not drain randomly any more. Could just be that I started totally fresh but either way the latest version of nougat is doing me right.
@therealdanbear by 7.1.2 u mean custom rom or stock rom bcz Google offered its stock version upto 7.1.1

should i update to oos 4.1.6

guys i have bought a new one plus 3t device and its running mm 6.0.1
should i update to oos 4.1.6
is it better in terms of battery life and performance
p.s i do not intend to root or install any custom.rom right now and want to stick to oos for now
my basic requirements are good batter life and stability
So basically you are wondering if Android 7.x is better than Android 6.x ?
Well I guess the point is quite obvious.
Or why did you bother buying a new phone?

Everyone is going to have a different experience with battery life and performance. Of course, the intent with each update, is to improve these thing (although it doesn't always work out this way) as well as increased features and security.
4.1.6 is running great for me.

thnx for the info
feeling positive about upgrading now
OOS 4.1.6 is great imho. No issues so far, I couldn't go back to MM. People sometimes have issues because they flash updates over updates without wipe, and sometimes the phone may need it.
Since your device is brand new and you don't have a lot a data on it yet, I strongly advice you to update your phone to 4.1.6 and then to reset it (data and settings). This way you'll get a clean, fresh and proper update to use your new phone on Nougat in best conditions possible.

4.1.6 It's not an early update, it's not a beta rom.
It's a stable rom officially released.
Regarding battery there are dozen of complaints, but also many users who don't have an issue.
So, you can't really make up your mind just by reading on the comments of other users.

Should I update?

Hello there,
I'm still on Android Oreo 8.1 with my Note9, so after the April update, is it worth upgrading to Pie yet?
'Cause up to this point I've been seeing more negative feedback than positive, but with that new update it seems more people are liking it.
Thanks in advance.
It's up to you, there are certainly people who dislike One UI but I'm certain that the majority will prefer it over TW Oreo. Personally I think it's a big upgrade and there is zero chance I'd go back to Oreo, other than AOSP.
Yes you should. Always try to find solutions and tweaks over latest updates. If that doesn't work, then consider downgrade. I think there are more pros than cons considering Android upgrade.
