This minor update solves the network drop problem that came with OxygenOS version 3.5.5, a firmware release that arrived less than two weeks ago. Unfortunately, it does not include any new features.
Although OnePlus has the 3 and 3T handsets to worry about, it is great to see they continue to release software updates for the older "flagship killer" that made its debut back in August 2015, namely OnePlus 2. Still stuck with Android Marshmallow-based firmware, this handset received an update back on December 22 and those who applied that update started to face network problems.
Less than two weeks after OnePlus 2 handsets started to receive the OxygenOS 3.5.5 update (obviously, the one causing problems), OnePlus comes with a new software update that takes care of that issue. OxygenOS 3.5.6 is an update that only fixes persistent network drops and nothing more, according to the official OnePlus forums.
Sadly, the forum post about the OxygenOS 3.5.6 hotfix also reveals that another problem needs to be taken care of - "For users who are affected by the IMEI loss issue, we are still drafting a plan to resolve this." We will probably hear about a new patch in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
