HIGHLIGHTS
- OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T are receiving OxygenOS 5.1.4
- The new update includes a 'Sleep Standby Optimisation' option
- It also brings the July Android security patch
OnePlus has started rolling out OxygenOS 5.1.4 for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T. The new
software update brings a 'Sleep Standby optimisation' option to improve battery life on the
smartphones that were launched last year.The new option is touted to enable the system to
identify your sleep pattern based on the usage of your phone. This helps to turn off the
network during certain gaps of inactivity to reduce power consumption and eventually give
you more juice of the existing battery. The Shenzhen-based company has also brought
the July Android security patch through the new update for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T.
Likewise, there are improvements to enhance camera results and some bug fixes to uplift
the built-in gallery. The OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T earlier this month also received new
OxygenOS Open Beta versions that brought Project Treble support.
Among other new changes, the OxygenOS 5.1.4 update for the OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 5T
brings the Sleep Standby optimisation option. OnePlus says that once the advanced option
is turned on, it lets the system intelligently identifies your sleep pattern based on your
device's usage and then turn off network during specific periods of inactivity. This helps to
reduce standby power consumption and improve battery life to an extent. While turning off
the network may affect connectivity for a short while, the company claims that the phone
gets out of Sleep Standby optimisation before you wake up. "The phone will automatically
cancel any network restrictions and get the phone out of Sleep Standby just before you
wake up so that you won't miss any notifications such as news updates, emails etc," the
company said in a forum post while announcing the new OxygenOS update.
After you've successfully installed the OxygenOS 5.1.4 update on your OnePlus 5 or
OnePlus 5T, you can enable the Sleep Standby optimisation by going
to Settings > Battery > Battery optimisationand then selecting Advanced
optimisation by tapping the three dots from the top-right corner of the screen.
In addition to the new Sleep Standby optimisation, the new OxygenOS version brings the
July Android security patch. The update also improves photo clarity of the default Camera
app to enhance your memories. Further, there is a group messaging option within the
preloaded Messaging app and general bug fixes for the Gallery.
Similar to previous OxygenOS versions, the latest software update for the OnePlus 5 and
OnePlus 5T is rolling out as an incremental rollout. This means it may take some time to
reach your device. OnePlus states that the update will randomly be pushed out to a "limited
number" of devices globally.
You can check the avilability of the OxygenOS 5.1.4 update on your OnePlus 5 or OnePlus
5T by going to Settings > System updates and then tapping the Check for Updates button
from the bottom-right of your screen.
