Mine arrived yesterday, so I have not had much time to "play". But here are my first impressions and the issues I have found.
First impressions (coming from an LG G3).
It is super fast. I really like that.
The phone signal strenght seems better. So, either they "lie" on the display or the antenna is better.
No bloat - nice.
I got the 128Gb one. Loads of free memory and storage. I like that.
Screen is OK.
It came with dual sim slots which I didn't know - I can now use both sims in one phone.
Now, issues:
It won't connect to my PC. I get a "USB device not recognised" error. Spent ages chatting with their techie and I need to put it into USB debug mode and the load an ADB driver which they could not provide. How STUPID is that.
The capacitive button lights are so dim as to be unusable and only come on as you press on the spot. What is the point of that?
Bluetooth won't connect to my headset (MPows) unless I put it into APTX mode.
Bluetooth connects to my car for phone, but while it tries to play audio, there is nothing there. I have loaded some music and it plays OK using VLC. Maybe the music is in the wrong place but I have no idea how to check.
If anyone has any idea on my first issue, I would be grateful for some help.

I had this issue, it would appear to fairly common. What worked for me was the following.
1) Disconnect your phone and restart windows. (Restarting windows was necessary for me as attempting to connect the phone and it failing caused something that was only cleared by a reboot).
2) Enable developer options and on the phone and select USB debugging mode.
3) While you are in developer change Select USB Configuration to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol).
4) Check step 3) actually stuck. It takes a few goes for me and others for some reason.
5) Connect it to your PC
6) Hopefully it will mount as a drive called Oneplus Drivers or something similar (can't remember the exact name). In this driver is a setup up for the USB driver installation. Run it as admin and install.
7) If that all worked you should now have the mounted drive described above and your Oneplus 5 as a separate mounted MTP device in explorer which you can access the internal storage from.
For me, I can't disconnect and reconnect without rebooting windows and repeating steps 3,4 & 5 above. There is clearly either a bug in Oxygen or a driver issue that needs resolving but hopefully this will work for now. For info, with the phone connected my PC won't shut down. It does boot to the login screen but won't actually show the login prompts! Weird.
Thnks Chris. At the moment, I can't get MTP mode to "Stick". I'll keep trying. I may have also found some ADB drivers (on my laptop which is not near me at the moment).

One more issue - playing music over bluetooth, it occasionally "stutters" and I hear what appears to be a very small gap in the music - about 1/10th second - but noticeable. Has anyone seen (heard) this?

I have had this with a previous phone, not this one. What does the catlog say during the stutter? Mine showed errors regarding the Bluetooth communication, does yours do that? This can help you find out if it's software or hardware.
My capacitive buttons seem dimm as well, haven't really noticed that before..
AT,
What is the catlog? Where do I find that?

Alan,
If you try and set MTP mode a few times it will stick. However, the text under Select USB Configuration will still say "Charging" unless you leave the Developer options menu and go back in again. Then it should say "MTP (Media Transfer Protocol)".
Chris,
You are a star. That worked and I can now see my internal storage.
Thank you
I just have to find out why my 2016 BMW will not see the music over bluetooth now (my old LG G3 worked fine)

Haven't tried to mount to PC yet. Surprising it isn't like the oneplus 3 where it mounts a separate drive on the PC with the drivers?

The only thing I can think to do is delete the phone from the car's memory entirely. Delete the connection from the phone entirely, and start all over. You may have done that, but on my 2013 Veloster I have had times where I needed to just start over completely. Having said that, no problems out of the box for me so far with the OP5 in my car, bluetooth gym headphones, or either bluetooth speaker I use. It's been very easy.
I tried that - still the same. The attached picture shows what I get.
This is my last major issue with this phone.....
Alan
Onother issue i just found out...
Maybe someone else found a fix, but i didnt....
With my OP2 i always conncted e Little USB adaptor with a micro sdcard in it to the phone to Transfer Music or any other files to or from the phone. When i connected it to the phone it imidiatly was recognized and in the filemanager one more Folder was created to manage These files.
But on my OP5 nothing happens....... can someone help?
Edit: last Oxygen Update, OTG is on, USB Debugging is on

Had an issue with the APN for T-Mobile in the US. I had data and could make VOLTE calls etc but email through TypeApp or Blue mail would not sync and various other programs had issues (connection errors), over wireless at the house everything was fine. I added the APN suggested by T-mobile haven't had an issue since. All I changed was the APN protocol to IPv6/IPv4 (was just IPv6) and removed hipri and supl from the APN type.
Everything works as it should.
hey I want to ask a question
is the camera on the op5 worse than the note 5 ?
In the advanced settings I noticed a Bluetooth codec option which might help.
I haven't tested it on the car yet. mines a 17 VW so will test it
I've tried changing the codec - no difference.
another annoiing issue....it changes network from O2/4G LTE to EPlus 3G. So i disabled automatic network and switched manual to O2 again. But the same....it really s...ks, because most time it runs with Edge only
tapatalked...
Only issue I have at the moment is too sensitive autorotation of the screen. Even though the rotation happens very fast, I would prefer it not turning in the first place if phone is rotated only few degrees. I wish there was a way to adjust the angle when to rotate the screen.

I tried searching, no dice. I tried asking in the tips and tricks thread, nobody answered, so I'll ask here. Is there a way to force the G1 into mass storage mode? I want to connect it to my car stereo via usb, but the radio won't detect it, so the G1 never gives me the option to mount. If I could force it into mass storage mode, I'm fairly sure it would connect. Is it a simple terminal command? All help is appreciated.
edit: sorry, misread post ><
I do this occasionally. What I found is that if I have "USB debugging" on in the phone settings the G1 doesn't detect the connection and give me the option to mount the sd card. If I turn it off, it immediately detects the connection.
I leave USB debugging off all the time. Anyone know how to force the SD card into mass storage mode like you could in RC28?
Dowload AnyCut from the market
create a new shortcut
activity
scroll down and pick SD card
the short cut should be on your desktop. I've tried this on my car stereo and couldn't get it to work. Let me know if you better luck
Yah my Pioneer FH-P8000BT hates my G1 USB no workie, just errors out after 20 seconds or so. Pioneer punted when I emailed them saying that they have no plans to update their support of devices with this head unit; bummer. At least receiving calls on it via BT works okay. Hoping with the full bluetooth stack to be released that the voicedialing app might actually revised to be worth a **** so that you can activate it via the stereo like my last phone. And also maybe contact transfer/sync might actually work for me
So close... so frustrating!
Would also love to see a solution to having the option to automount on USB connection, as per OP.

Sorry that doesn't work for you. Just for reference, the G1 recognizes and works with the usb port on the Dual XDM-6400BT just fine. The bluetooth works as well, but I assume all bluetooth capable decks will.
I have the G1 connected to my stereo but I use a converter that came with my diamond. Converts mini usb to stereo 3.5mm or 2.5mm headphone jack. That goes to the crossover which connects to the amp and I have my music without a head unit.
I stopped using the G1 and use my diamond because it comes with a equalizer which makes a noticable difference in sound between the two.

I have the Dual but the one that doesn't have the BT. The G1 picks up the connection and the unit even looks for music file but say "NO FILES". How did you get yours to work?

Yah, I've tried both ways; no difference unfortunately. Head unit shows "Format Read" for approx 20 seconds before giving me a "USB N/A" display and doing nothing.
Thus far I've heard of people having success with at least some Clarion and some Dual decks. I can't tell if the phone is to blame or the car stereo manufacturers... seems like obviously somebody isn't supporting the full USB Mass Storage spec properly, but hard to point the finger when the G1 works fine on my computer and the car stereo works fine with a USB thumbdrive. *shrug*

I didn't have to do anything special to get it to work, it just worked the first time I plugged it in. I can tell you some more about my setup. I'm using a 4GB sandisk sd card in the phone. My music is all mp3 and in the path \music\[album name]\*.mp3.

Cool. I have a Kingston 8gb class 4 but I have it partitioned to have my apps run on it. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. I'm gonna try it on a different sd card later see what happens
Thanks for the info
Just a quick update for anyone who happens upon this thread. I just upgraded to the 1.5 ION Cupcake version of Android and am happy to report that in conjunction with disabling USB debugging on the G1, my Pioneer FHP800BT / FHP8000BT is now able successfully mount my G1 as a USB device
On a semi-related note, Bluetooth stereo (basic back/next, no browsing or id3 support) and phonebook downloading also work now as well.
Now if only I could convince Google to bring back support for automatic USB mounting and bluetooth/gps toggling via Locale or some such, I'd be a *really* happy camper
Does anyone else have this problem? When I connect my phone to either my laptop (winXP) or my desktop (win7x64) I periodically - constantly, really - get this message:
"One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
When I click the message, it identifies my phone as a Generic USB Hub (4 ports) with the first child being a USB Mass Storage Device, the second being the problematic "Unknown Device" and the last two are "Unused Port"s.
This happens whether the phone is in charge-only or mass storage mode. I tried installing the autoplay drivers and that didn't help, so I uninstalled them. No hubs are involved - I've always plugged straight into the tower or laptop. I've also tried two different quality (first party Motorola) cables.
Mass storage mode works fine despite the error - I can access the Internal storage as well as the SD card. Is this a problem with my phone, or am I missing some software on the Windows side?

Odd... I had issues with the original drivers, but once installed, I never had another prompt again.

that's very interesting. i also use 2 machines--one with xp and one with win7. my usb connection worked flawlessly on both. fyi...my connection default is mass storage, and i've actually never tried the other options. i wonder why the difference? did you make any changes? are you rooted? i am not.

Hi gr33nT,
Thanks for responding. I'm 100% stock at the moment, not rooted or anything (though it will be soon ) Sometimes I use charge only if I have it connected to my laptop at work but I still want to listen to music from the SD card. I may see if I can get Verizon to swap out the phone, the message pops up all the time and it's getting annoying...
A quick follow-up on this one: I tried the stock LG cable on my win7 machine (I had been using moto cables). I installed BOTH the bootstrap drivers as well as the LG drivers from the web - still happening. I rooted with these drivers via S1C so I know the drivers are good. If nobody else has run into this, something is probably wonky with my phone, so I'm probably going to exchange it.
For mine, every time I connect, it asks me if I want to install bootstrap. Even though, they have already been installed cuz I am rooted.
I've had the same issue both as stock, and rooted and in every configuration with the phone and PC you can think of. I've downloaded the drivers and installed them from both the phone and web site all to no avail. This is really getting annoying.
I hope someone has a fix for this.

Hmm...that is troubling. I'm still having the issue running the stock rom and rooted, now. When I get time I'm going to drop by the Verizon store and hopefully they'll replace the phone - I suggest you try the same, as I doubt it's the computers we're using. My win7 box and winXP work laptop could hardly be more different!
I doubt a replacement will fix anything, I experience the same thing as majorpay. Drivers worked for a while and then it started asking for it again. This also causes issues when using usb tether as its connecting and disconnecting. The issue is not present when used as a mass storage device.

Hi bwhxeon,
The issue (USB device not recognized - it sounds like you're referring to the autoplay driver installation) happens for me in mass storage mode also. I believe it has to be the phone as I've never had this problem on any of my PCs with my OG Droid or any other USB device. With this phone, I have the problem on all of my PCs.
I had the same problem. The error popups seemed random at first. I noticed if I enabled/disabled the WIFI on the device while it was connected, I could make the error popup.
I ended up getting a new replacement device when I also noticed the 4G Hotspot wasn't working either even after a factory restore. There was definitely a hardware issue with the phone.
USB Unknown Device
same issue here.. when using ADB though I have to set to Internet Connection then it goes away for a while until I want mass storage or just charge from USB again, then re-appears.
LG is not like most other phones as in usb debugging only works in internet connection mode where others go into it as soon as you plug it in.
Just kind of scanned this thread but have you tried a different USB cable? I was having a problem with mine only wanting to charge with the stock so I grabbed another cable and it has worked right ever since
Same issue, two different pcs, with two different cables. Bootstrap does not load anymore so I am using the drivers from the links, both sets of Lg verizon drivers

I went into menu -> settings -> connectivity, and set the USB connection to "Always Ask" when connecting to a computer so that it would ask me if I want to use Charging/Mass Storage/Media Sync/etc. Even with that box checked, no matter what I do, when I connect the phone to my computer, it does NOT ask me what USB connection mode to use. Can anyone else confirm whether or not they experience this problem?
Thanks!
SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc.
call Verizon or LG for that support..OR try your control panel windows settings..devices

SOLVED - driver conflict with my Samsung Epic. Connecting one then the other wreaks all sorts of havoc, between mass storage mode and whatnot. When I switch the LG from charge to mass storage and back on the fly, it's doing something to the samsung drivers. When i reconnected my samsung, then the LG again, things went cuckoo for cocoa puffs until I rebooted.
I can't post a new topic as I have less then ten posts but I have an issue with my connectivity as well. When unplugged the phone still shows the USB icon in the top left corner like it is plugged in. However when plugged in the phone will charge but when connected to a computer mass storage mode will not work or show up. I have tried it in windows xp/ osx on my MacBook. Windows 7 on my desktop and nothing. The drivers are good as it was working before. I have done a wipe/data, restored back to cubed 1.1 mod and it is still doing it. It doesn't bug me that bad as I use andftp to move my apostle back and forth from my NAS to sdcard. But I would like it fixed as trying to put music or ISO's for my psx emulator can take a minute over the wifi. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
currently i can't say what is working with my Phone. For me suddenly MTP stopp working.
I test it under Windows 10 and Ubuntu and nothing is working.
I know that the default is charging mode and switching to the right mode is necessary.
Connection with adb works, also the useless MIDI mode.
I don't have a idee how to fix this issue.

I have seen similar problems, I believe those were twice worse before 3.5.4 but it is still happening. For me MTP only works more reliably when the "dual mode MTP + drive" takes place (which I believe gets triggered after the "MTP only" mode crashes at least once).

I upgrade the ROM to 3.5.4 and remove Xposed media optimizer. Seems to working.
My core problem is the Android media services, that work horrible by detecting small changes in Tags.
I'm currently correcting the tags on my MP3, mosty small things in the spelling. Copy it again to the phone and nothing changed. Deleting the media storage app isn't a good choice to fix it. I'm loosing my playlist every time and automatically created playlist can't by save to a backup.
I've posted unit information and an update to my github https://github.com/superdavex/Sony-XAV-AX100 that can disable the caution screen message. I'm just getting started documenting the unit, but, the basic info is there. I've tested this update on a couple of units, but, there is always a danger in installing a firmware that something could go wrong. I have also been able to enable the UART serial console and the first USB port (USB 0). These require soldering on a connector. The system is pretty much wide open and we have full kernel source so there is not much that we can't change on it. The change that that is disabling the caution screen warning is just sending a dbus touch event. It works fine, but, there are possibly better ways to do that. Use at your own risk.

So, if I understand correctly, you would place these files on the root of a usb drive, connect it to the radio and run the update? But we need to make sure to be on fw 1.02.06.0 first correct?
It sounds like you have full access to the system, does that mean you can customize the UI?

Yeah, you copy all of the files in to a folder named update at the root of the drive. Pretty much the same as Sony's update.
I do have full access. A few things are controlled by config, but, most is compiled in QT. What are you looking to change?
It drives me absolutely nuts that the song information scrolls under the preset buttons when listening to the radio. Can the presets be changed to just display the station, ie 104.1 or 97.3, etc.

That is pretty annoying. There are some config items for station names. I'll take a look at it.
Wow, that's absolute fantastic. I'll definitely give it a try.
Do you think you can do something about Bluetooth connection? I've sometimes problems while speaking. There are distortions where I don't know, where they come from.
One question: is it possible to go back to official software after flashing yours? Just for the case....

I can take a look at the bt config and see if there is anything that might be related. That's pretty tough to track down without logs. Once you update I can send you a script that you can put on your usb drive and every time you insert it it will dump your logs out.
Yes, you can always reflash the stock update and the changes are gone.
Ok, sounds great.
I will update this weekend.
We can talk about the logfiles then, so I can see when I have to plug the USB device on it.
Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for the awesome hard work on this!
I have a USB Type C cable connected to my unit and it's somewhat of a pain to open several car panels to gain access to the back of the unit... Do you know if I can put the "update" folder on my phone (LG V20 with USB Type C port, which I use with this unit every day), and connect my phone to the cable, put phone in File Transfer Mode and the update will work?

I tried it on my Xperia with Nougat and it didn't work. With the radio booted it only wants to launch AA, even when selecting file transfer. With the radio in U-Boot it scans the phone and finds 2 devices, but, doesn't recognize either of them as storage devices. It did work with my USB-C SSD drive though.

Unless your phones USB storage mode is different than mine it wouldn't work. AA was getting in the way when I was in the radio OS, but, when I was in U-Boot where the firmware is updated it wasn't. I could scan the USB device and it found it, but, even in USB storage mode it did not detect it as a usable storage device.
One option would be to pick up something like this https://www.amazon.com/Female-Cable-Macbook-Tablet-Mobile/dp/B00WJP3G14
You could also make one pretty easily if you have a spare usb c female cable.

Interesting, that's almost identical to the Kenwood headunit I pulled apart.
I should try the same trick to get rid of the warning on that.
Thanks! I've just purchased my unit, this warning already bugs me.
Thanks to you I didn't have to put up with it for long! It's gone!
Dang. Seems that my USB stick isn't good anymore.
Copied the whole update folder to it, applied it to the radio USB, start the car and nothing happened. Could be, that the radio doesn't recognized it.

With the USB stick in, when you go to settings/firmware does the update button become enabled? If so, when you click it are you getting a not compatible error? Also are you on firmware 1.06 now?
Ah, scratch that please. Seems, that I was too dumb.
I've had another radio where I've had to plug in the stick and start the car to make an update.
Seems that I've totally forgotten the update button.
Now everything is fine. Works!
Many thanks to you!

I have a few that are like that as well. Glad you got it working.
Thank you superdave for this great update! Finally that annoying warning is gone Do you reckon it would be possible to add a button on the homescreen or the menu to switch the dim mode to on/off? Also, can I download the decrypted firmware from somewhere (or is there an easy way to decrypt it myself)?

Good idea!
I recommend every Android Auto user to download OBD2AA. A real benefit for those systems. There is night / day theme with sunrise and sunsettime. Is this what you search?
