    I'm having a terrible time with Android 11.

    In particular I can't add a 2nd work email to my Outlook email app and I can't get the phone or contacts app to see the main work email address I set up in Outlook as the source to pull contacts from. All I get offered is the option to set my Gmail as the source of my contacts but that's not what I use Gmail for.

    I'm thinking of factory resetting and trying again but I think the fundamental problem is with the Android 11 version of Oxygen OS I installed and I've no idea how to either replace that with a new copy of the ROM, downgrade to an official Android 10 Oxygen ROM or flash an independent ROM but if I do the latter (I've forgotten where to even start, I guess over on XDA?) AFAIK that'll prevent Google Pay from working and I use that all the time.

    Any advice / suggestions? I really don't want this to continue into next week.

    As you mentioned xda is your best bet. I'm no geek but any issues, problems etc I've got sorted over there. Always someone has had similar issues

    Can you boot it up in twrp and restore back up if you have it?

    No, no backup I'm afraid. It's a perfect storm. Used to have a backup but it was deleted when I switched cloud hosting :-(

    I updated to 11 the other day and I've started noticing issues with WiFi connection and mobile data.

    Wifi drops every so often for a few seconds and then comes back up.

    Mobile data just isn't working at the moment. I get the 4G with the exclamation mark over the bars.

    Anyone experience this or have any suggestions to address it?

    Yep I think it was actually! Only looked up Twitter after I posted the above.

    Fixed the above post. Turns out it is still happening so it's not related to VF outage. Any ideas?

    Updated when it was pushed at the weekend.

    Wifi keeps dropping as you say. Like today for example, was just watching videos on youtube and multiple times it came up "reconnected" so it had dropped and come back on.
    Also notice less bars for mobile coverage as well, even going to no bars on occasion. I'm with Vodafone.

    edit: looking online I see people posting on the One Plus boards with the same issue. A suggested fix is, if you have multiple connections saved such as 2.4 and 5G, choose to forget 5G. I've done this so will see if I have any issues now.

    I updated at the weekend as well when it was pushed. I've noticed issues with WiFi but the main issue so far is with Android Auto. It can take up to two minutes for it to connect and become usable. It's a massive pain. Anyone notice anything similar?

    Got the update at the weekend as well. No wifi issues for me, but my browser (Dolphin) hasn't been working properly since, either very slow or freezing on me.

    Getting update notifications but holding out

    Phone rooted and not many reliable roms available on xda.

    Going to hold out until issues resolved and new roms come on board

    Unless anyone has different experience?

    The only real change I have noticed in mine is the sensitivity of the fingerprint unlock. Mine is a lot more 'secure' now so I have to be really exact in where I place my thumb.

    Is it the 7, 7T or 7 Pro people are seeing Wifi / Android Auto issues on with Android 11?

    7T issue with WiFi for me. But forgetting the 5Ghz has seemingly solved it.

    All those who updated to OS 11 are you rooted still?

    Also anyone using customised ROM with this?

    Cheers

    Dont think Magisk or TWRP working well with OS 11

    Holding off on updating until they are and more stable Roms come on board

    I use Type app for emails on a 7T.
    Since the update I'm not getting emails, or notifications.
    Has anybody noticed anything similar?

    Also, can anybody recommend a good email app that's not Gmail?

    TIA

    Sounds like those WiFi issues might be addressed in the latest update : https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/05/23/oneplus-7-7-pro-7t-and-7t-pro-updates-are-here-with-may-security-patches/

    Interested to hear if this sorts it before I update to 11

    I also notice I'm getting a lot more "draining your battery" warnings from things I wasn't before, including gmail.

    Noticing this myself, is it an OxygenOS issue? Seems to be different apps each time.
