Is there any way to get dash charge while connected with the computer?

Is there any way to get dash charge while connected with the computer?

Nope,since dash charging requires compatible accessories (cable and charger) because the higher charging rate (about 3,5A). The regular cables (and most charges) aren't designed for this high current, so if there will be dash charging, there will be a risk of damaging your cables or device

Hey guys,
is it possible to get rid of the "Close all Apps" button on the buttom of "Recents"? Or place it on the right or left side without changing ROM?

Everytime I want to go back to my app I click on that "Close all Apps" button... It's a really unfavorable position to have this button in the middle!

I dont think it's possible on stock ROM. If it's a rooted device, it would be a simple mod to change that position.

Hey everybody,
Is anyone able to use this phone with android auto? My car doesn't recognize the phone with the result that the app is just available on the phone but not streamed on my car display.
Thank you

Same here. I'm still trying to understand how mirrorlink works.

@Hetalk

I couldnt find a setting to turn that off. You will need to swipe twice to get to full quicksettings tiles.

Hello! Do you think its possible that,before making my order,ask for a revision of thr OP5 that i'm going to buy so they dont send me one with the "Jelly" Scrolling?

I really neeed a new phone but im afraid if im going to fight with OP's support about this error.

Thanks in advance.

Hey, I have a question regarding rooting and OTAs! As far as I've understood, flashing a custom recovery and root after unlocking the bootloader breaks the OTAs and makes it a hassle to update your phone unless you're running a custom ROM, which im not planning to do just yet. My question is: is there a way to unlock the bootloader and root the device WITHOUT flashing a custom recovery, which (hopefully) wouldn't break OTA updates?

I don't have a custom ROM
I'm on 4.5.4
I have TWRP installed and am rooted via Magisk
With an Ota, OOS detects root and does a full download. To install it, you boot into recovery (TWRP) wipe dalvik cache, install full Ota (about 1.5gb), reflash Magisk whole in TWRP
Wipe dalvik cache once more and reboot. No issues here.

That would also work, thanks a lot!

Always take a nandroid backup before any of the above happens. It takes maybe 5-10 minutes at most. Super worth it

Hi guys, I read about the vibration issue with lightflow.. Anyone can confirm? Is it a lightflow or oos issue?

I realize this may sound stupid, but I consistently work with 3 different timezones (one being China so my Day/Nites are all screwed up). I just got my OP5 and I'm noticing it is set to 12hr NO AM/PM indicators, I've scoured all the settings and I see NO function to turn on 24hour or AM/PM.
The ROM I'm using is xXx_NoLimits_1.3, but I'd assume this is not something that was tweaked in there, I could be wrong if so let me know and I'll choose a different one.
Anyone have any ideas on how to display 24hours (preferable) or at minimum the AM/PM denotations?


*************EDIT*******************

I ended up using Substratum and K-Klock to add some AM/PM denotation.

Hi all,

So earlier today I was updating apps via the Google play store. Then suddenly the phone rebooted and has been stuck on the bootscreen since. I tried holding the power button to turn off the phone and reboot manually but the same thing happens. I believe I have the 4.5.2 update, rooted with magisk, twrp, and stock rom. I haven't tried doing a nandroid restore yet since im trying to preserve my data since the backup.

Has anyone else encountered this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks!

Date time settings have an option to change to 24 hour format.

Can you boot to twrp? If you can you can back up your internal sd card to get your data.

Glad You found the fix. May I ask what your job is? I'm little curious

I am able to boot to TWRP. However, in the backup option I only see boot, cache, data exclu storage, recovery, system, system image, and EFS. From my understanding, there is the data option would not include any media/photos? Also, I realized my nandroid backup is on my computer... Would I be able to transfer the backup to my phone and also extract my media from my phone in adb mode?

Yes you can
Boot into TWRP and it should allow drag/drop access on a computer.

Also, before you do that, go into TWRP and wipe dalvik cache and see if that helps

Can someone provide me with the file manager apk from their OnePlus 5

 

[babribeiro]

Hello guys. I'm new to oneplus.
One question,
1. Where to find the option "carrier aggregation"?
I asked this because it showed somewhere before and I disabled it. Now it seems I cannot find it. Any ideas?
(I might be confused with something else but I believe not) .

Thanks

@psxda97 I work as remotely doing IT support for some companies in Texas and New York, and then my stepmom and all her friends/family still live in China (I support her OP3T).

As for the Fix I used Substratum but I also found (after @Hetalk mentioned Date and Time settings) that I hadn't actually looked in there (I feel dumb saying that, but this is why I don't like rushing system builds anymore).

So thank y'all for the assist.
