OxygenOS 13 update added more stability and reliability. Performance has been significantly improved to provide a seamless mobile gaming experience.
However, it turns out that the update is not fully baked at this point as users are having a problem with it.
OnePlus 8 and 9 ‘Wireless settings keep stopping’ issue
Multiple OnePlus 8 and 9 users are reporting an issue where the Bluetooth function functions abnormally (1,2,3,4,5).
According to affected users, the phone connects via Bluetooth to devices that are already paired.
However, when they try to pair their OnePlus 8 and 9 smartphones with a new device, the Bluetooth settings crash. A prompt will be displayed saying ‘Wireless settings keep stopping’.
Users discovered this issue with the OxygenOS 13 (Android 13) upgrade, and it was quite inconvenient as Bluetooth functionality is one of the most used features.
I noticed after my OOS 13 upgrade that my settings app crashed when I tried to open the Bluetooth settings. I have since done a factory reset and now my Bluetooth settings menu works fine but I still can’t connect my WHOOP.

Troubleshooting methods such as force-closing the application and restarting the device also do not seem to resolve this issue.
