    Anyone having trouble with notifications, specifically Viber, since updating to the latest beta of Oxygen? No sound, just a vibration.

    Try going into app list, and then notifications and change the notification sound.

    I changed it from "app provides sound" to a specific sound and now it works again!

    Odd one, but thanks :D

    Thats exactly what I meant.
    I'm not sure what the problem is but it worked for my 5t and a friends 3 and we don't even have the latest beta.

    Anybody encountered the issue where you have a blue notification light intermittently but there are no notifications? Been going on for days now, very annoying.

    Unfortunately this is happening when it's not charging and there are no system updates. May need to reset phone to get rid of it :(

    Anyone else having issues getting the Leap card app to read a Leap card via NFC?

    Works for me, but only when I take the case off the phone.

    Yeah, I tried taking off the case, but no joy. Google Pay worked grand the last time I used it, although that was a while ago.

    The Leap card is bit aged at this stage, maybe that's the issue.

    The sweetspot NFC is quite tiny on the One Plus 5, this might be of help:

    Yes and the reason for me selling my Oneplus 5 :mad:

    I use Nest at home for cameras and found I wouldn't get notifications or maybe get them randomly. The same with gmail and other apps. Even though I disabled battery optimization for those apps.

    I managed to kinda fix it by specifying the exact notification sound to be played!
    However, sometimes if 2 or more Viber messages come in together, I don't get a sound either!

    It's very fooking annoying :mad:

    Worked, thanks a mil.

    I use google pay a lot and never had any trouble with the NFC. I thought it was the tiny gap at the top of the camera mounting that was the NFC sweet spot

    I don't use NFC much, but the Leap card is the only thing that's been an issue. Now that I know to hold it today to to the space above the camera, it seems to be fine

    .... because they'll be launching the OnePlus 6 soon (rather than for any other reason)

    Has there been any indication when they are going to launch 6? Just lost my 5 so want to replace it.

    I'll be selling my 5t later in the week. If I were betting I'd say late May for 6 release

    Oreo 8.1 rolling out on a staggered basis, VPN to Germany to skip the queue.

    Just use oxygen updater from the play store to download it, any update pops up as soon as an update is released. No need for any messing about

    I have Opera VPN on the phone anyway, so it's all the same to me.

    Has anyone ever had trouble with the phone picking up a 4G signal? I'm with Eir and now all I'm getting anywhere is H+ at best. I've got a replacement sim card and reset the phone. I'm stumped as to what to do next. I've a bad feeling the phone's faulty :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 381 ✭✭pandabat


    Go into Settings -> SIM1 -> Network Operators and search for available networks (you may have to disable the "Choose automatically" option to search).

    Do you see 4G networks in the results? (you might see "3 3G" and "3 4G" for instance). If you can see 4G networks than the phone is probably ok.

    Does your SIM/Eir network plan allow you to access their 4G network? Not all plans used to but might be different now? If yes then check with Eir that you are correctly provisioned to access it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 Agent Cooper


    I'm not seeing 4G there at all.

    I've had this phone since last Autumn and never had any trouble at all with it. I've always had fast, consistent 4G and I've not changed my plan. According to Eir all is fine with my account.

    It's possible that the SIM could have an issue/failure? Can you borrow anyone else's 4G SIM, stick it in the phone and see if you can pick up their network? Can other people see 4G networks where you are (don't know your location)?
