I just got a new OnePlus 3t, and was wondering if it is worth updating to 4.0.3. I've been hearing a lot of people have issues with the battery life, the sliders, etc. With these in mind, is it worth updating to 4.0.3 or should I stay on 3.5.4?

I am on 7.1.1 beta and don't have any issues
Depends on what you intend to use your phone for. The biggest reason to stay on OOS 3.x would be for Xposed. I personally have not noticed any issues with OOS 4.x though.
Would we ever seen a Official Android 7 Miui?
not likely and I don't think they are caring about mi mix atm
Remain waiting, there is a big chance it will get an upgrade in upcoming months.

of course, there is a change in the next months, I mean come on seriously?
the other dev will likely be getting their hand of android o and miui just trying to get miui9 ext its ****ed up system going down there
but their products are amazing just if they release the sources of the devices and everything gonna be just fine
then we can get whatever we want
MIUI is already far ahead of stock Android IMO, just look at all features we have and stock Android doesn't have.... Except Multi window for now.
Not working wallpaper carousel and not a proper working push notifications
But the other useless things yeah they have something going with uselesles
Btw I don't screw with MIUI yeah they are good but I just need a good notifications that's all I sent need anything I'm a simple man
The works on nougat on mi 5 is still beta dev rom. I tried and fairly stable except a few minor error. At least until nougat for mi 5 is stable then we can see about mi mix
Probably MiMix will not receive N

$1000 Phone no update ?? good joke!
No need for android 7 for me, 6 it's working fine till exposed it's official of course.
Nougat isn't limited only for Multi Windows, there are a lot of new APIs (for example, Vulkan)
It will come, had it on the Mate 9 and Honor 8 ... its not that good over 6.0 ... just wait and it will arrive.
The only thing I really miss from my pixel, and Android 7 in general, is expandable notifications. Makes everything else seem ancient.

The only nougat features I want are expandable notifications and double tap to switch between last 2 apps. But I have a grim feeling that these features won't make their way over to nougat based MIUI.

Which version of the stable international officiating ROM are you guys using? My phone came with the 8.2.19.0.0, and the latest one I see on Xiaomi page is 8.2.1, which I downloaded to "update", but the system tells me it's older than the installed one...
The thing is, the current one is the same that came with the phone when I bought, around Feb. 20, in Thailand. And the latest stable was released at some point in March. And I just can't find anything online about that .19 version, just one mention in some western European language, in one single post in one forum...
Any ideas?
Hello, I've been an Android user from a while and decided to upgrade from my Nexus 5 to the OnePlus 3T. The only thing I'm concerned is not having the Google Android version since I'm very fond of how good it is, but in October 31st, Nexus 5 will be 4 years older and although Google isn't still talking of stop working on the software side of it it is probably going to happen eventually.
With all that said, I'm trying to learn beforehand (my phone arrives in 10 days) if are there any lag problems, if people are using any specific ROMs that work better with it and anything that could be quality of life improvements that I could do once it arrives.
Thank you

The Nexus 5 is already discontinued when it comes to official software updates. It will only get security patches and even that won't be for long. (In fact it's latest factory image is from December 2016 so it might've fully stopped already.)
As for the Oneplus 3T, it's currently running the latest 7.1.1, latest security patch and the Oneplus skin (OxygenOS) is basically stock Android on steroids. I'm running the fully stock beta 4 version and the phone is extremely fast and smooth, battery is great. It's good to the point where I haven't even felt the need to unlock the bootloader and root yet. You definitely won't be disappointed in your purchase.
I recently (last week) replaced my 2 year old Nexus 6 with a OnePlus 3T and had the same concerns as you. Would I enjoy another OEM's version of Android? I was even running a really bare bones Vanilla AOSP ROM by the end and loved it.
I don't regret changing at all thus far.
I'm on OxygenOS 4.1.1 with Franco Kernel and Magisk v12 and it's working beautifully! I figured I'm gonna run OOS for a while before seeing if there's any nice ROMs available. I've been looking around a little, but not many of the available ROMs seems worth it (I don't want CM, Lineage or anything pre-rooted).

Ah, that's so good to hear! This is exactly what I was expecting. Yeah, Nexus 5 had an extremely good run and until the beginning of this year I felt it was still so good as far apps go, but anything web related started being more and more painful. It is still a pretty good phone and I'll keep around for Android dev related things.
Now I'm pumped for the 13th.
Thanks

So you did modify your phone? Or am I getting it wrong? If not, why is that?

OOS is as close as you can get (factory OS) to "pure" Android unless you buy a Nexus or Pixel (and the latter will of course cost you). Many are calling the OP3T a spiritual successor of the Nexus series.
There are just a few OnePlus versions of apps (music player, file manager, weather) that many folks will find useless (you probably have your preferred options). And a OnePlus launcher.
But beyond that, there are a few modifications many will see as value added: The OnePlus camera app is really nice (great options in Manual mode). There are lots of settings which let you tweak and customize in (my opinion) really useful ways.

This is arguably the fastest phone around, until the new flagships hit the streets.

I flash Franco Kernel because I have great experiences with it from my Nexus 6. Ran without for a few days, but realised I missed it...
I install Magisk because I want root and for a few nice systemless modifications. Currently: changing screen density, debloating system apps and Viper4Android.

I see. I never used a launcher (except the Google Now, not sure if that is even considered a launcher itself, and hopefully it is a feature in every Android phone, not just Google ones), ideally, I think I would want to get rid of that, if possible. The File Manager might be helpful, although I use one I like, perhaps theirs is a good one. No biggie, though.

Google Now is a launcher (AKA home app). It's not pre-installed, but you can easily install it from the Play Store.
I don't think you can disable or uninstall the OnePlus launcher on a stock OP3T ("disable" is grayed out), but you certainly can with root (may want to freeze it before uninstalling, and make sure it doesn't break anything else). But I also doubt it would make any significant difference, compared to simply installing Google Now launcher, and making it the default home app.

Haven't used it much, it does the basic functions (move/copy files, looks like it can open archives like ZIP) but doesn't look like anything special. If you use one that has more features (particularly root browsing) you'll probably prefer what you already use.
guys i have bought a new one plus 3t device and its running mm 6.0.1
should i update to oos 4.1.6
is it better in terms of battery life and performance
p.s i do not intend to root or install any custom.rom right now and want to stick to oos for now
my basic requirements are good batter life and stability
So basically you are wondering if Android 7.x is better than Android 6.x ?
Well I guess the point is quite obvious.
Or why did you bother buying a new phone?

Everyone is going to have a different experience with battery life and performance. Of course, the intent with each update, is to improve these thing (although it doesn't always work out this way) as well as increased features and security.
4.1.6 is running great for me.

thnx for the info
feeling positive about upgrading now
OOS 4.1.6 is great imho. No issues so far, I couldn't go back to MM. People sometimes have issues because they flash updates over updates without wipe, and sometimes the phone may need it.
Since your device is brand new and you don't have a lot a data on it yet, I strongly advice you to update your phone to 4.1.6 and then to reset it (data and settings). This way you'll get a clean, fresh and proper update to use your new phone on Nougat in best conditions possible.

4.1.6 It's not an early update, it's not a beta rom.
It's a stable rom officially released.
Regarding battery there are dozen of complaints, but also many users who don't have an issue.
So, you can't really make up your mind just by reading on the comments of other users.

Hello there,
I'm still on Android Oreo 8.1 with my Note9, so after the April update, is it worth upgrading to Pie yet?
'Cause up to this point I've been seeing more negative feedback than positive, but with that new update it seems more people are liking it.
Thanks in advance.
It's up to you, there are certainly people who dislike One UI but I'm certain that the majority will prefer it over TW Oreo. Personally I think it's a big upgrade and there is zero chance I'd go back to Oreo, other than AOSP.
Yes you should. Always try to find solutions and tweaks over latest updates. If that doesn't work, then consider downgrade. I think there are more pros than cons considering Android upgrade.
