Issues I found with all official versions till now:
– Camera recording does not work
– Google Music playback does not work ofter
– Two sim cards settings does not work
– sine 15.1-20180423-NIGHTLY-oneplus2 also mobile internet is not working

Camera video recording works for a moment after device restart.
Google Music sometimes works, and sometimes it hangs and need to either restart device or wait 5-10 minutes after it will restart itself
Two simcards works if it comes to call but in settings both are disabled, therefore you cannot change settings, select default one etc
