If you have been having issues with the screen flicker issue on the OnePlus Pad, don’t fret, a new update is here. OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 14.0.0.500 to its tablet.
A new update fixes the screen flicker issue on the OnePlus Pad
This update not only brings a fix for the screen flicker issue, but it also boosts security. It delivers an Android security patch for February 2024. OnePlus is a bit late on this one, but a boost in security is nice to see.
Now, in regards to the screen flicker issue, it was only present when switching between landscape and portrait modes. So it wasn’t as much of a hindrance as it could have been. Still, it’s nice to see it fixed now.
The changelog reveals quite a few fixes, actually
There are several more entries in the changelog, though. This update also improves the system stability and performance of the device. It reduces power consumption in order to extend the battery life… “in some scenarios”.
OnePlus also fixed a problem that prevented users from switching between apps in recent tasks. It also fixed the issue with calendar events, as some users were unable to add them.
The last entry in the changelog says another rather specific problem has been fixed. In some cases, information did not display properly on the tablet when it is connected to your phone via Multi-Screen Connect. That should no longer be the case.
The update is rolling out in stages, so it may take a while for everyone to get it
The update is rolling out OTA (Over-The-Air) as we speak. Do note that it’s rolling out in stages, so it may take a while for everyone to get it. Updating via a WiFi connection is always recommended… unless you have plenty of mobile data.
Your tablet will let you know when the update is ready, though you can always manually check if you want. There you have it. The OnePlus Pad is over a year old at this point, but it’s very nice to see that the company is improving the experience the device offers.
