OnePlus has finally brought VoLTE support for its 2015 flagship, the OnePlus 2 with its latest OxygenOS 3.5.5 build based on Marshmallow that brings a host of new features, but the Nougat update that for promised for the OnePlus 2 is still no where to be found. As per the company the update is rolling out in phased manner.

With OxygenOS 3.5.5, users will be able to make VoLTE calls for some carriers only. The company, however, doesn’t list the carrier names – notably though, the VoLTE enabling update for the OnePlus 2 was announced by OnePlus India in September, with specific reference to enabling the feature for Reliance Jio networks.

Among other things, the update brings minor redesigning and updates to the current OS build. New features added include Battery Saving Mode, Gaming Mode, App Lock, and new Alert Slider options. It also brings a redesign to the volume adjustment bar, shelf optimisations, updates Clock app UI, brings updated Android Security Patch and increases System Stability with general bug fixes.

If you’re going to update your OnePlus 2, you need to keep in mind that this update will replace your Clock, Calculator and Messages app to the stock OnePlus apps if you never updated their corresponding Google apps. You can choose to download them later if you like Google’s stock apps. Apart from that, a lot of configurations will be reset after the update like the device name, ringtones, accent colours, and the battery bar indicator.

Besides, OnePlus is also gathering feedback from OnePlus 2 users after they update their smartphones to OxygenOS 3.5.5. On its forum, OnePlus has given some useful links as well if you somehow want to downgrade your OnePlus 2 firmware to OxygenOS 3.10. As we mentioned that the update is rolling out in a phased manner, so OnePlus 2 users who have not received any update notifications yet, should receive the OTA update notification in a next few days.

After updating to 3.5.5, basic functions like WiFi connectivity, Network and Fingerprint might be affected if users goes back to 3.1.0. Users will have to use a special 3.1.0 downgrading version and flashing tool that will wipe all data from the phone.
