After
releasing
an incremental
Cyanogen OS update last week that claimed to bring fixes
for the long-lamented touchscreen issues of the
OnePlus One, the
Chinese manufacturer has released an
OxygenOS build to address the same.
The
716MB build of OxygenOS is claimed to
contain a patch for the touchscreen issue, and the firm has not detailed
any further changes that come along with the new build. In the same
announcement post on its forums, OnePlus also linked users to a
migration tool made by developers at Fastboot Mobile and XDA. The tool
will help users easily migrate from CM11S or CM12S to OxygenOS without
losing their data - the firm warns however that the tool is still in
beta, and may not work as expected.
With the release of Cyanogen
OS 12 build version YNG1TAS2I3 last week, OnePlus claimed to have fixed
touchscreen sensitivity issues, Bluetooth connectivity issues with
several in-car systems, and MMS sending issues on several carriers.
The
offending touchscreen issue has been plaguing some users of the OnePlus
for a while, and the company has acknowledged
the issue several times, and many attempts to fix it. Notably, OnePlus
has previously
tried to fix the touchscreen issues on OnePlus One handset back in
November last year by rolling out an OTA update. In August, OnePlus had
pushed
the CM11S 33R update for the touch unresponsiveness, but it had only
fixed the issue partially.
OnePlus had last month
announced the
OnePlus One would be receiving Android 5.1 Lollipop-based CM12.1
"soon". The firm added that the OxygenOS update based on Android 5.1 is
currently on hold and will be made available for the OnePlus One only
after the OnePlus 2 itself is launched. Notably, the entire team for now
is said to be working on the OxygenOS release for the OnePlus 2, and
can't focus on the OxygenOS OTA update for the One handset side-by-side,
the company claimed. As for the Cyanogen OS 12.1 update, the OnePlus
team says a preview build is currently undergoing factory testing and
Google certification.
