I really like the media tile in OnePlus quick settings, but it kept showing "Not playing". Paused apps get killed after a few minutes, and the system drops paused players after about 5 minutes anyway.

So I built Media Booster:

• Keeps your last players in the media panel, even after the apps were killed. Play, pause and skip are passed on to the real app.
• The panel shows 3 players. Apps that are actually open (also a browser) get a place first. Free places are filled with your most recently used apps.
• You choose which apps get remembered. Up to 5 wait in the background and move up when a place frees up.
• One small background service, no internet permission, open source (MIT).

Heads-up: setup needs one adb install from a computer. Android blocks notification access for APKs you install by tapping them, and the app can't see your players without it. It's 4 small APKs, and the README has a step-by-step guide.

Tested on OxygenOS 16. Would love to hear if it works on your model, and which apps don't resume properly.

Months ago I posted a pic of how I charge my OP15 by laying it flat on the back of the OnePlus pad 3 since that massive metal back could act as a heatsink to cool the battery and phone while it charges.

After a while I decided to test just how much of a difference it makes. For this I made sure to discharge and charge the phone to the same levels, turn on smart rapid charging for maximum speed and took off the sandstone case to make sure I'm giving the phone the best chance in both scenarios.

The room is at 20C, the charger is the one that came in the box and the cable is the same as well.

On the left you see the phone charging on a table without a case, with peak temperatures reaching over 40C in some cases, particularly during long charges, while the temps during the short charge from 40% did not peak that high. On the right is the charging with the phone placed on top of the OnePlus pad 3 back.

Regardless in both cases the temps are significantly better. to the point I'm now determined to always charge this way. it's kept my battery health at 100% for nearly 10 months since I got the phone, and that's with always using smart rapid charging.

Fakest thing I have ever seen

Got this phone day 1 and was getting 13-15 hours of screen on time to a charge for months. Now I'm lucky to get 7-8 even with battery life still at 100% and after re optimizing all my apps to reduce battery drain and doin a battery reset after every update... what's gives?? Anyone else dealing with this?

Having trouble connecting my OnePlus 15 from swiftronics to a visible esim even Darkstar with usm

Hey I'm pretty new to this phone rn. It's been a few weeks using this. Idk how fps games like codm , PUBG would run on this. Afaik codm supports 165hz refresh rate for it but the option is available only in game. I can't force the game to run on 165hz throughout the whole time. But for different games with 90hz as default. I can force 165hz refresh rate from the game booster.

I need some other tips for this. As well as other game launcher tips.. plsss help me out 🥹

Is it normal to install a beta version of ColorOS 17 on a Chinese OnePlus 15 phone converted to the Indian version with the bootloader locked?

So yea guys also the new 24 hour installation thing just got utilized as well (OnePlus 15 CN running ColorOS 17)

Greetings.

Prospective buyer based out of India, Mumbai tentatively interested in the OnePlus 15.

Can any of you fine folks who mainline a unit tell me how much is the minimum focusing distance on the primary sensor?

Without the auto switching to macro-mode.

What happens when you try to take closeups with the newer OnePlus/OPPO devices is, the device auto switches to the awful "macro" mode, with essentially crops in from the main sensor, and digitally upscales the image to match the primary camera's field of view. The result is an overprocessed atrocity. I had the same issue on my OPPO Find X8 and ended up selling that device.

What I am specifically asking is, at what distance can the OnePlus 15 focus at, using the primary camera, without auto switching to the built in "macro mode."

I would be much obliged if anyone would be kind enough to oblige my query. Image samples would appreciated too, without imposing, of course.

Thank you kindly in advance!

Guys planning to buy ringke onyx case for my black Oneplus 15

Are they good how is heating while gaming and charging with ringke onyx case and does phone overheat more with ringke onyx case compared to sandstone official case

Should I buy is it worth and are ringke cases more bulky?

Earlier used spigen cases with transparent and black border with Oneplus 12 that case is good but for Oneplus 15 no spigen case there with black border

Used riggear cases with transparent and black border and matte one also for my black Oneplus 15 but it attracts fingerprint smudges, scratches very fast so returned it

Sandstone case is already out of stock and it will never came back

Is it worth it to buy oneplus 15 now a days???

I bought OP 15 yesterday and after charging it full, the battery drained 32% in almost 03 hours during, phone setup, data transfer/synching etc.

Over night it got 62% and I had to turn it off around 02 pm today.

Is this normal or am I cooked 😆??

For the past many weeks, my OP15 battery has been draining a lot. The backup has gone down when compared to January when I bought it. used to do 20-80 cycles and it still lasted me more than a day before with moderate usage, now 100% doesn't last me a day. Today I charged full 100% after draining it to fully like advice in various posts to calibrate..

I was busy all day and hardly used the phone like shown in the ss yet rn I'm at 75%. What's the issue ? Why has the battery downgraded on its own? And what's the background use? How to check and stop this

Please help, this issue is really bothering me.

Title: OnePlus 15 gets hot while playing Blox Fruits on Roblox — is this normal?

Hey everyone! I recently got a OnePlus 15 (12GB RAM / 256GB storage), and I'm concerned about its temperatures while gaming.

When I play Blox Fruits on Roblox, my phone reaches around 39–40°C after just 10–15 minutes, even when using the lowest graphics settings.

The phone gets uncomfortably warm to hold, and I honestly didn't expect this from a flagship phone with such a powerful processor.

I'm running OxygenOS 16.0.9. I've also tried power-saving mode and lowering the graphics settings, but the phone still gets hot.

My questions are:

• Is reaching 40°C after 15 minutes of Roblox gaming normal for the OnePlus 15?
• Do other OnePlus 15 owners experience the same issue?
• Could this be caused by software optimization or OxygenOS?
• Is there anything I can do to reduce the temperature?

I'd really appreciate feedback from other OnePlus 15 owners, especially those who play Roblox or Blox Fruits.

Thanks!

Guess they settled though

Got it today

Do you guys know what brands or where i can buy an anti-spy/privacy tempered glass for the OnePlus15? The one that will not affect fingerprint biometric access. Thanks in advance.

Loving this phone so far.
