Introduction
This guide will tell you how to fix the OnePlus 6 or 6T alert slider from registering only 2 of the 3 positions.
The issue is that one of the sound modes of the OnePlus 6 or 6T does not get recognized by the software anymore. The device can only be set into two modes - either sound, vibrate, or silence - and the third one is not recognized.
The cause is the accumulation of dust in the slider. This prevents the slider from reaching (one of the two) outermost positions. It is possible that the slider does look clean from the outside and that the slider still moves completely to the non-working side, but that it still does not recognize it.
What you need
-
-
Although the three distinct slider positions are set, the phone only recognizes two of them.
-
-
-
-
Use a small tool to clean up the two different sides: the slider side and the top side.
-
-
-
Clean the other two sides as well to prevent the same issue from occurring.
-
If you cannot remove more dust from the slider then it should be fixed. Try moving it to the other positions and feel whether the slider clicks into the positions. If the slider is still not functioning correctly, then perhaps a replacement of the slider is necessary. A replacement guide for the older OnePlus 5T can be found here.
