OnePlus is already rolling out another update for its new OnePlus 2, which promises to improve fingerprint recognition and bring camera enhancements. OxygenOS 2.0.2 also fixes a number of pesky bugs.

“We are listening to all of your concerns on the forums and social media, we’re committed to maintaining frequent updates to address your major pain-points without delay,” OnePlus says on its official forum.

The Chinese startup’s complete list of changes in this release include:

  • Improvements to fingerprint recognition accuracy
  • Resolves a bug that could cause volume to be muted unexpectedly
  • Stability improvements to the front facing camera
  • Camera preview UX improvements

There’s no mention of a fix for that strange home button problem we covered last week, unfortunately — and no acknowledgement of it, either. It’s still unclear whether this can be improved with a software update, or whether it is a hardware issue as suspected.

OnePlus does promise, however, that “more significant improvements” will be coming with OxygenOS 2.1, which is scheduled to arrive in mid-September.

In the meantime, OxygenOS 2.0.2 is rolling out to OnePlus 2 owners in phases, so those who already have their hands on the device can expect to see it soon.
