[PSA] Oneplus phones on Android 11 are being artificially throttled but there is a fix.

Hi there, I wanna share this knowledge with about Oneplus phones on Android 11 since I don't think its well known how you to fix it. Basically as a "battery saving meassure" Oneplus is secretly without telling the user limiting performance of a wide range of Apps, like Social Media Apps, Browsers, etc. The performance in some cases can be down by a whooping 75% - which can be quite noticable.

Unfortunately there is no easy method to turn this behavior off in the Settings App or whatever. But what you have to do is :

  • enter adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.oneplus.config
  • reboot the phone

If you want a further explanation and me demonstrating the issue and how its fixed - check out this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqYL6ySTIIQ&t=9s

From my experience I noticed no other issues on my phone and the change had no real impact on my day to day battery life .

Lrobie,

It’s easy enough to install LineageOS on OnePlus phones. Would rather do that than deal with shady stuff like this.

aluminium,

Definitly an option, but this is a way to keep OxygenOS for those who want it.

Never settle for Oneplus.

aluminium,

Certainly not these days

Won’t be the app back after a system update? 🤔

kimagure,

If their phone stuck in Android 11 in 2023, I doubt there will be any updates from OnePlus.
