The OnePlus 11 is gearing up for a new update—its first since the stable OxygenOS 15 rollout began. Initially rolled out in the Indian region, the update later expanded to EU and NA markets. Although OnePlus introduced some AI features like the Circle Search during the stable update rollout, certain features were missing.

With the latest OxygenOS 15.0.0.401 update, users will now gain access to AI Check, AI Rewrite, and AI Reply functionalities. Additionally, the update includes several bug fixes and integrates the December 2024 Android security patch.

Currently, the rollout is exclusive to India, with other regions expected to follow soon. The update size is approximately 900MB, and the rollout in India is expected to be completed within a week or two.

Post-update, a user reported an issue with the Flux theme, citing that the colours appear faded. A screenshot accompanying their feedback highlights the problem. If you encounter similar or other issues, you can submit feedback by dialing *#800# and selecting the bug report option.

OnePlus has announced the incremental rollout of OxygenOS 14.0.0.1121 for the OnePlus Nord N30 SE. This update is currently being rolled out in batches for the global (GLO) region.

The firmware version for this update is CPH2605_14.0.0.1121(EX01) and it primarily focuses on system security enhancements. The changelog notes that the update integrates the December 2024 Android security patch to boost the device’s security.

System

• Integrates the December 2024 Android security patch to enhance system security.

As per OnePlus, the rollout will be incremental. A small percentage of devices will receive the update initially, with a broader rollout expected in the coming days.

The OnePlus Nord N30 SE, launched with Android 13-based OxygenOS 13.1, has already received the OxygenOS 14 update and is on track to receive OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15, as part of the company’s commitment to provide two generations of Android OS upgrades and three years of security updates.

You can check for the update manually if it hasn’t reached your device yet.

The OnePlus 13, launched in India and global markets on January 7, 2025, is now receiving its third update. The first update arrived just a few days after launch, bringing the December 2024 security patch. Recently, the Indian units received the SOTA OxygenOS V30P01 update. Now, OnePlus is rolling out another update for the OnePlus 13 with the firmware version CPH2549_15.0.0.405(EX01).

Interestingly, OnePlus has not officially announced this update, as it typically does. This suggests it may be available to users enrolled in the Release Candidate program, allowing them to receive updates roughly a week before the official rollout. The update is relatively small, with a download size of just 314.24MB. However, it includes camera bug fixes, enhancements to communication stability, and improvements to overall system security.

It seems likely that the update will reach Indian units first. Meanwhile, some US users have reported not receiving the second update, the SOTA V30P01, yet. This could indicate that while the third update rolls out in India, other regions may receive the SOTA update during the same period, and subsequent rollouts will follow.

The changelog for this update is listed below for your reference.

Changelog

Camera

Improves the colors in photos taken with Master mode.

Improves the tone of photos taken with the rear camera in Photo mode and improves the zoom function.

Improves camera stability for a better photography experience.

Communication & interconnection

Improves the stability of Wi-Fi connections for a better network experience.

Improves the stability and expands the compatibility of Bluetooth connections.

System

Hopefully, OnePlus will soon announce this update officially and most probably for the India region first.

Both the OnePlus Pad and Pad 2 are already on OxygenOS 15, leaving the Pad Go as the only tablet yet to receive the update.

Meanwhile, OnePlus is now rolling out the January 2025 security patch update for the Pad Go and Nord N30. For the Pad Go, the OxygenOS 14.0.0.810 update is rolling out in India with firmware versions OPD2304_14.0.0.810(EX01) and OPD2305_14.0.0.810(EX01).

The OnePlus Nord 2T, which has already received its two major OS upgrades, is now limited to receiving security patch updates. In the latest update, OnePlus is rolling out a January 2025 security patch update for this smartphone. Currently, the update is available for users in India and the EU region and is being rolled out in phases. Since this update focuses solely on the January 2025 security patch, you shouldn’t expect any new features.

In India, the update is being rolled out with firmware version CPH2401_14.0.0.609, while in the EU region, it is CPH2399_14.0.0.609. Other regions are expected to be added to the rollout soon. Since this is a phased rollout, not all users will receive the update at the same time. Some users may get it immediately, while others might have to wait a little longer, as the complete rollout typically takes about 1–2 weeks.

If you are in India and using the OnePlus Pad, a new update is currently being rolled out in batches. The OxygenOS 15.0.0.401 update is in the rollout phase, but some users who have received the update are facing issues with the Ubiquitous Manager Service.

One user reported that after updating, their tablet rebooted and started showing the error message: “Ubiquitous Manager Service Keeps Stopping.” Despite trying multiple solutions, the message continues to reappear. Additionally, some users have reported that Live Alerts are not functioning as expected. For instance, even after turning off the touch feature, the notification persists, asking them to turn it off. Similarly, the charging status does not show up in the Live Alerts as intended.

So far, OnePlus has not provided any updates on this issue. However, if you encounter the “Ubiquitous Manager Service Keeps Stopping” error message, you can temporarily resolve the issue by disabling the Ubiquitous Manager app while awaiting an official fix.

The update comes with firmware version OPD2203_15.0.0.401. If you haven’t updated yet, it might be better to wait until OnePlus shares an update on the issue. Alternatively, if you do update, disabling the Ubiquitous Manager app can serve as a temporary workaround.

What is the Ubiquitous Manager app?

It is a system-level platform that supports some shared ColorOS and OxygenOS functions as reported by Android Authority.

How to disable the Ubiquitous Manager app:

1. When the error message appears, click the App Info button.
2. The App Info page will open.
3. From there, select the Disable option.
