    OnePlus My experience with the US OnePlus authorized repair center

    OnePlus My experience with the US OnePlus authorized repair center


    My experience with the US OnePlus authorized repair center

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 06:04 AM PDT

    Was fantastic. I had the 5T since day one. It was never dropped, still has the OG screen protector on it and the only time it left the case was for cleaning. Last Wednesday the screen stopped responding to touches. After using the unbrick tool, I called OP and they told me to submit a ticket. On Thursday the RMA was approved, subject to inspection. I expected the worst.
    I pulled my Nexus 5X out of retirement and shipped my 5T off. I paid around $11 for shipping from NY to TX. Later on noticed a shipping label in my spam box.

    Monday - email saying they got my device.
    Tuesday - email saying repair complete.
    Wednesday - When I woke up, there was an email with a tracking number scheduled for delivery within a couple hours. By noon I had my phone back with a new mainboard.

    Dealing with the "Acer repair center" was a pleasant experience. YMMV

    [OP6] (OCD warning) navbar buttons are not symmetrical and don't scale properly with DPI

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 06:08 PM PDT

    on the DPI setting 'small', the navbar buttons are not symmetrical, and it shifts by DPI settings, i didn't bother counting the pixels for the other DPI settings but it clearly doesn't scale properly

    https://i.imgur.com/7ebll23.png

    not gonna lie this phone triggered my OCD more than every phones i've had in the past, don't get me wrong it's an amazing phone, but there're just a bunch of weird tiny quirks that after noticing i can't unsee

    random jabber feel free to ignore:

    e.g. top screen curve radius is larger than the bottom if notch is on, but there's a chin so i turn the notch off since it's not balanced vertically, then when i turn the notch off the fake screen radius is much tinier than the bottom curve, and to make it worse the official screen protector's black border cuts off like 10 pixels on L/R side making the artificial curve on the top more of a jagged 45 degree curve. i also like to use my phone on a low DPI, i usually set the DPI in the dev option, but somehow the clock in the status bar is tempered by OP so if you go below the 'small' DPI setting's number the clock font size becomes massive. then there's the navbar color, that's always white, yes there's navbar apps but it is broken half of the time if in an app element launches another activity window it will just jump to some random color -> e.g. after taking a screenshot it will turn green and sometimes get stuck even returning to the other app, and yes i've tried gesture it's just not for me, the animations don't flow properly and with nova launcher whenever i go back to the desktop the icons disappear and flash and reappear

    none of this take away from the actual functionality of the phone it's just that i can't unsee any of this stuff lol..

    Anybody still using a OPO? I'm running Sultan's last release and my wife and I are seeing a bug with text messages not coming in unless we reboot.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 12:31 PM PDT

    My wife and I are both using OnePlus One's and we're running the last release of Sultan's ROM (Sultan, if you're reading this, you are a legendary bad ass!). We're both on T-Mobile. I've noticed a problem where it seems like text messages don't always come in if we've passed back and forth between wifi and LTE. Like, if I'm on LTE, and come home and connect to wifi, and then leave, the mobile signal indicator remains generic looking, no LTE indication. Quite often there will be intermittent text messages that won't come in, or even phone calls that go strait to voice mail (which really annoys my wife when she's trying to get ahold of me). Rebooting solves this, temporarily.

    I'm wondering if anyone might have a suggestion about a possible fix, or perhaps another ROM I might try. Thanks!

    OP6 5.1.11 Battery Optimisation Settings Not Persisting

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 04:15 AM PDT

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    If I go to Settings -> Battery -> Battery optimisation I can specify that certain apps are not optimised (I am assuming this will let them run as they like and stop them being killed by the OS?); however, after a few days, apps are being removed from the "Not optimised Apps" list, meaning they are liable to being killed.

    (The apps in question are things like GPS route loggers - I'm aware that this might use lots of battery, but still want them to run as their developer intended - is there some other way to do this?)

    OP5 Briefly Submerged in Water

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 10:37 AM PDT

    I realize that water under power can cause corrosion--I enjoy watching repair videos from Rossman who fixes Apple related projects, and have done a little basic SMD work.

    Anyways somehow my phone was dropped into freshwater for about 2 seconds, and I quickly dried it off. I ripped off the case, the back was still dry from the case, I powered it off quickly, etc.

    I tossed it into a bag with a chemical based dehumidifier (IE a DampRid knockoff), and let it set 18 hours. The humidity in the bag according to a probe was about 35%, and so I'd assume it's relatively dry. Now it's in a workshed inside of a bag with the desiccant and it's 100F there roughly.

    Overall for a brief powerup it seems to work 24 hours later after the incident.
    However, what is the best course of action?

    I realize in a perfect world I should open it up, however, based off of one's experience how water resistant is the OP5, and is opening it up totally merited?

    I'd prefer to leave it powered off for another day or two--as I am not accustomed to pulling apart phones, and am in the middle of nowhere so there's no shop I can toss $75 to for them to open it up.

    Thanks for the $0.02. Just trying to get a solid 2-3 years out of my OP5 and go from there.

    One Plus 6 Stuck in Fastboot Loop

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 11:25 AM PDT

    I was using my phone on Sunday, last app used was bacon reader. I turned off the screen and next time I picked up the phone it was in a primary boot mode screen. It gave these options: Start, Restart Boot loader, Recovery Mode, and Power Off. If I select any of these options it restarts and goes back to the same screen.

    Tech support has not been able to help over the past 10 emails and keeps asking the same or similar questions without moving forward. This is a frustrating process currently 5 days in to not having a working phone.

    - A) What happened?
    - B) How do I get it fixed? (preferably in a timely manner)

    The phone is a midnight black edition with original factory settings minus updates pushed to the phone from OnePlus. I think it installed Oxygen OS last week. The phone did not have USB mass Storage enabled so it does not pop up when plugged in by USB as a drive. However it is listed as an Android device under devices, and allows a USB safe ejection.

    Oneplus 6 Charging question

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 03:19 AM PDT

    So my current HTC 10 is dying, and I'm looking into a new handset.

    The Oneplus 6 looks pretty good, but I'm always wary about proprietary charging tech, since I tend to move my phone around during the day.

    So my question is this: When not dash charging, does the OP6 still support 2A charging for "fast, but not as fast as dash" charging?

    GCam for 5T

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 09:27 AM PDT

    I'm having trouble getting a GCam apk that works on my 5T.

    I've tried the ones that have been recommended in this sub, but the front facing camera takes glitchy, completely pink pictures and the back portrait mode tints the picture very blue.

    Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Would love to get the better low light performance and portrait modes.

    Gcam on OP3T with LOS 15.1 started crashing.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 04:04 AM PDT

    After installing the nightly update for LOS on mij OP3T, the gcam mod started crashing upon opening. I have tried various fixes like clear caching, reinstalling and enabling the camera2 api again. Nothing worked so far, so hopefully someone here can help me.

    Unable to unlock my phone after 5.1.5 update

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 05:55 PM PDT

    After updating my phone to OOS 5.1.5 and enabling their new quick unlock feature that's supposed to unlock the phone as soon as the pin has been entered correctly, I can no longer access my phone.

    My PIN is 5 digits long, but the feature tries to submit the PIN after the 4th digit and fails.

    Any ideas on how to solve this? I've tried rebooting and wiping cache/dalvik with no luck.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 07:19 AM PDT

    Hey,

    Ever since the new version I can't make phone calls. Here's a screenshot of it, but anytime I check the Phone Calls it instantly unchecks itself. I tried removing the device from the car and pairing again it happens everytime :/

    Anyone else has this issue?

    Apple-like cases for OP3? Love that look and feel.

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 07:14 AM PDT

    Hey I was given an iPhone for work and one of those silicon cases for it. I just love the texture and color and I wonder if there's something just like it that will fit my OP3. Ive been surfing amazon and there's some but you cant touch over the screen, so wanted to see if someone has purchased something like it.

    Hello, I need help with my phone which keeps rebooting itself (oneplus 5T)

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 08:32 AM PDT

    Yeah, so I've had Magisk, twrp and Viper4Android on my phone for over half a year now and everytime there is an OTA update, I update it, re-flash TWRP and install magisk and viper, this time after i installed it, my phone started to reboot everytime i booted up the phone and was in the OS for about 30 seconds, its so stupid and annoying

    On a sidenote, the phone keeps restarting to TWRP, not restarting, so I suspect something went wrong with the Viper4Android installation (I used the ARISE Deuterenomy installer to install Viper) Do i do factory reset or is there still hope? (oh and i dont have backups because im a dumbass that forgets to backup his phone.)

    Phone is starting up slowly

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 01:06 AM PDT

    Recently my phone (oneplus 2) has been starting up very slowly. Well actually, it's resonable up until a "starting android, optimizing app" window pops up. It has 2 apps and every time i restart my phone it has to "optimize" apps for 20 minutes.

    I cleared my cache in the settings and in the boot menu but i don't want to nuke my whole phone. Suggestions?

    Using European OP6 in the USA

    Posted: 30 Aug 2018 07:31 AM PDT

    Hey guys,

    I'm travelling to the US next week for a week on vacations and I'm wondering if anyone has had previously experiences with this situation before.

    I'm planning on buying a pre paid sim card to get 4G internet while there but need to know if there are any specific networks I should be looking at or if it's not gonna happen at all. I know there are network specifications but I'm not a pro at that and don't really get what limitations it might bring. Thanks!
