Android 12 Oxygen 12 updated for OnePlus 9 Pro has MAJOR BUGS & ISSUES!!!!!!

Okay, watching YouTube just broke everything once and again - fingerprint, brightness, etc. So I've restarted the phone and it seems to be running stable. I guess for the time being no YouTube but the trade off is a phone that functions?

I just got the new update and it is stable for me now as well. But I am also scared to open YouTube haha.

Having run the phone now with the July security patch installed for half the day:

1. Everything seems quite stable until I fire up YouTube, then it all breaks down again with the various issues as documented in this thread.
2. This said, each time the phone is restarted, everything clears up until YouTube…

So some progress…?

So who is to blame for this Android 12 fiasco 🤣 My fingers are ready!!!

In this case, it's Google and OnePlus.  Android 12 wasn't great when it was released but is slowly being fixed.  However, then you throw the mess of the Oxygen OS base being merged with OPPO's Color OS that has caused problems on top of problems.  So much so, Android 13 will revert to a straight Oxygen OS feeling with no code from Color OS at all.

I too had the issues with the fingerprint reader going out my One Plus 9 Pro 5G. According to a reddit post (dont have the link) the error is triggered by "Video motion enhancement" in the display settings  being set to ON. So, if you watch a youtube video in landscape and lock the phone using power button it will glitch and render the fingerprint reader useless. Only a reboot clears up the problem.

So my solution was: Settings, Display & Brightness, Video motion enhancement, Select OFF” hope this helps. and yes as of 8/9/2022 i got Android update from Tmobile with July security update (LE2127_11_C.19), tested to see if they had fixed this fingerprint glitch, and it is NOT FIXED. --no telling when we are getting the next update.

All issues present in all versions of the Android 12 firmware for all OnePlus devices.  The code base merger with Oppo that will be abandoned with Android 13 will be the fix.  Until then, use the MSM Tool to rollback to Android 11 and disable automatic updates.  It will wipe your device!  There is a  rollback package that will also wipe your device, but it is much less reliable for some reason so using the MSM Tool will achieve the cleanest out of the box experience.  

Also having this exact issue. I've figured out how to work around the brightness issue by leaving my phone locked until it corrects itself but it still does it constantly and all that helps is me not having to restart my phone every 20 minutes. Sometimes I cannot even unlock my phone and it has been a major issue recently when I've needed my gps and my phone was so bugged it wasn't opening. 

has anyone tried booting the phone into safe mode to see if things level out or not? and i cant remember if it was mentioned by anyone..but has anyone attempted a FR to see if it fixes the issues or if they continue?

I wrote a discussion earlier but you have to go without fingerprint and face lock/unlock unfortunately. This is AFTER wiping the phone to factory setting and it was still causing issues so once the biometrics were disabled and disabled most apps I don't use, things are back to normal for now. You'll just have to unlock with the pin pad if you want to keep your phone locked.

The plus side of factory reset is, it seems to run smoother other than utter incompetence by T-Mobile to acknowledge and give us any information on future updates.

they dont have any info until OP in this case gives it to them..and even then the only thing you’ll get info wise will be posted in here..

and even that info will be bare minimum..no agents in here to acknodledge anything..or give out info pertaining to updates.
