OnePlus has, over the past couple of months, been busy putting out fires by fixing bugs and issues that arose with the Android 11-based OxygenOS 11 update to the OnePlus 8 series of devices.

While the job will probably never be truly done, the company continues to painstakingly chip away and every month, we get a publication of a list of bugs and issues that have been addressed.

Recently, we saw the company publish the February 2021 FAQ for HydrogenOS that outlined many of the frequently asked questions and the current state of the fixes.

In true OnePlus fashion, today the company is publishing a similar list of issues that have been addressed, this time for users running OxygenOS.

This list includes issues that we saw with the HydrogenOS publication such as the alarm issue afflicting users of the OnePlus 8, OnePlus 8 Pro and OnePlus 8T among others. Below are the FAQs for February 2021.

Q: Why can’t I view pictures or files from some OnePlus and third-party applications in the File Manager?
A: Please don’t worry; all the relevant data is still stored on the phone. This issue may occur because the Google team has hidden the Android/data & Android/OBB folder to optimize the privacy policy. To look at relevant files, please try to find them in the respective apps. At the same time, you can also report this issue to the third-party application terminals or the OnePlus community bug feedback area. We will also actively promote the third parties to make relevant adaptations.
