The OnePlus X users have reported extraordinary battery consumption after each update was released for the smartphone. One particular update named 2.1.2 really took the battery life to the butcher and reduced it considerably.
Problem 5 – Vibrations During Calls
You’re having a pleasant call and suddenly smartphone starts to vibrate. The vibrations don’t last long and it seems that you have received the message or a social media notification but that is not the case. A lot of people have reported this bizarre behavior and it occurs with alarming frequency.

A lot of users have reported that the app permissions for different apps are not permanent. These issues are not that big and are more of an annoyance than a problem. However, the solution to them is quite simple.
Problem 7 – The micro-SD card Woes
We have seen on multiple reports that the micro-SD card in the OnePlus X is not properly working. The smartphone is refusing to detect the card at all. Thankfully you can solve this problem by taking a few steps.
Problem 8 – The LTE Connectivity is Awful
This is the only problem that cannot be solved. If you have a OnePlus X in the US, chances are you’ll be using LTE connectivity in rural as well as urban areas. Unfortunately, the smartphone doesn’t support the band 12 and 17. These are the bands that happen to be the best ones in delivering excellent LTE connectivity. Unfortunately, you’ll have to rely on Wi-Fi connections rather than the 4G LTE ones if the smartphone is not giving good performance.
