OnePlus 7T starts getting OxygenOS 10.0.5 with Oct. patch

It might seem unusual for OnePlus to have some sort of delay when it comes to updates, but it does happen. The company started rolling out the OxygenOS 10.0.5 update for the OnePlus 7T. The update brings a slightly out-of-date October patch, a fix for the double-tap gesture issue that lets you activate your display even when it's locked, as well as the usual system stability and bug fixes. The update is rolling out globally right now, so keep your eyes peeled for it to head your way.

Android 10 rollout to the OnePlus 6 paused due to fingerprint scanner issues

OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 10, which is based on Android 10, to the OnePlus 6 and 6T. But they had to stop the release to the former because of some problems with the fingerprint scanner. However, those who have the OnePlus 6T should expect the update to head your way soon. The update brings with it new Game Space, improved location and privacy settings, and many more. It's a sizeable 2GB update, and the release is staggered, so don't be worried if it doesn't head your way immediately.

OnePlus 6, 6T gets Android 10 open beta

The OnePlus 6 and OnePlus 6T are the latest devices from the company to get access to the open beta of OxygenOS based on Android 10. To download it, you'll need a minimum of 3GB of storage. As with any beta release, this version is unstable, so practice caution when installing this update. Make sure you aren't putting it into your primary device. OnePlus has instructions on how you can roll back to your existing version of Android.

The update brings with it a new UI design, improved location permissions for privacy, new Game Space feature, and icon customization in the Quick Settings. There are now inward swipe gestures to go back, and a bottom navigation bar to let you switch left or right for recent apps. It's now also possible to block spam by keywords in the Message app, and the Ambient Display gets new information based on specific times, locations, and events.

Google reportedly certifies OnePlus TV as an Android TV

OnePlus TV might be using Google's Android TV platform and Google Play, after all. @AndroidTV_Rumors spotted certification for a device codenamed Dosa from OnePlus, which is targeted at India. OnePlus TV is reportedly being launched first in that country on September 26th, so the timing of the certification makes sense.

Rumour has it that the OnePlus TV was supposed to use a "unique" version of Android. But Google wouldn't certify custom versions of Android to use the Play Store. So, this might mean instead of creating that custom platform, OnePlus opted to use Google's. Having access to Android TV's features and the Play Store's many apps will make OnePlus' entry into the TV market more compelling.
