Things to do with a near useless OnePlus One? - ONE General

What would you guys suggest one could do? My OPO lies on my desk collecting dust petty much. It has a faulty touchscreen and not even the latest touchscreen "firmware" remedies this.
Because of that annoying touch issue, I picked up another phone two weeks ago, a Galaxy S5.
I had in mind to just throw it into a brick wall but seeing as I don't like wasting money, that's not really an idea. Though it would be highly satisfying. I can't really sell it like this, can I? OP does not seem to respond to emails.

I'm really sorry to hear that happened. How? Or did it just stop working?

You could send it to me instead of throwing into the wall. Donations are tax deductible ! Its a win win !

Malfunctioning from the start. I first thought that it was a software issue but now I'm sure it's a hardware fault.

If it's broken and you can't fix it, send it to a developer lol

bend it ?

Why not warranty replace it? I'm sure enjoying mine.

Sell it for $100 on ebay or craigslist.

unlock it, and install Franco kernel.
If it doesn't fix, RMA it

Unlocked and rooted since day one. I've had this since the beginning of September. I run Franco r29 on top of cm11s 38r but the touch is still bad. Better, but still bad.
I requested an RMA a while ago but they haven't replied to my email.

Broken as in faulty touch from the start. It's usable, sure, but I can't overlook that issue so personally it has no use. Maybe I'll keep it to test vanilla L on it.

Precisely. Franco.Kernel is the best custom kernel there is. Ran it on my old Galaxy Nexus.

It may be more than it's worth... unless 'principal' is the most high for you.
If you don't get a response from OnePlus folks, walk over to small claims at your local court house and file a small claim against the company. You'll win.. its a PITA, but sometime when the principal (law Law on your side) is worth it... do it.
It sometimes help mold a companies responsiveness and ethics for the better.

Request a refund via paypal. Explain that you have tried to make contact but have heard nothng. I think it must be hardware as mine is spot on. The only thing I can find wrong with mine is dim capacitive buttons. U from the UK?

Somehow "broke" my replacement digitizer - help?

The dis-assembly went rather smoothly. When I was kind of finangling to get the new digitizer on, I noticed that the actual strip had become lose. I believe this may have been caused by the heat of my hand - or perhaps it was fault to begin with.
Now looking at the circuitry and the ribbon itself, it doesn't seem like anything is broken. Would there be any way for me to adhere the ribbon back on properly in order to make my digitizer work again? I don't really have the money to shell out for a brand new one and this is a bit of a pain in the butt.
Thanks in advance.

I think it may be a fault in the replacement you ordered and should request a new one. The "heat" from your hand couldnt have done that, and if it did, that would have happened anyway because the internals of the phone would get much hotter

I'm fairly sure it was quite loose right when I took it out of the package. It pretty much slipped off kind of like a soapy sticker. This can't be right, can it?

Perfect. The part definitely seemed strange from the get-go. The company offered me 10% off, which I don't really feel is fair if the part is actually defective.
I've linked them to this thread, so if some more people could chime in that would be absolutely great.
So the part is defective and they wont replace it free?
Nice business model. Sounds shady.

Threaten to get BBB involved. That's the only way I got repair universe to send me a replacement after many emails about the matter. The digitizer they sent me had the ribbon cut nearly in half. Gave me the run around about how their stuff is fully tested before leaving the site and if I could take a picture. I told them all I wanted was my digitizer and if they couldn't honor their return policy I would call BBB and report. I was given the RMA the next email.

I agree, but like you said. When you are dealing with an internet company with no supposed phone support, sometimes that's what needs to be done. Although I did eventually find a phone number for them, I didn't need to use it before they finally made it right.

Did I make a big mistake? (purchase issue)

Hey guys, I bought my N7 4 days ago but it wasn't from a retail store or google play. It was from craigslist. I was fortunate enough, or I thought I was but my unit has none of the problems a lot of you guys been getting, assuming I probably got it from the new batch but that was until earlier when I was playing Soulcraft THD and I was pressing down the left side with a bit of force with my thumb and I heard the screen make that sponge/squeaky sound. There is no screen lift or anything major at all. The only other problem(minor) issue I have with my N7 is that the screen flickers at low brightness(40% and below) while it is loading an app or a website on chrome but I read that the issue could be software related so I'm not too worried about that, will just have to wait for a update.
My real question is did I make a mistake from buying it from that person on CL now that I have a problem with my N7 or do I just contact Google about the issue?
Thanks in advance guys, hope everyone is loving there N7 as much as I do!
Well, if you contact Google, they will probably refer you to Asus since you didn't buy it from the Play store. I would call Asus and just check on the warranty. If they say no, they say no. Can't hurt to call though.

Is it rooted? If it is, restore it, according to them your warranty is void'wjen you unlock the boot loader.

hey guys sorry for being a complete noob at this. Almost all electronics I've ever bought has never given me a problem so I don't go through returns/rma often. I just got a copy of the receipt for my Nexus 7, its in pdf file what is the next step for me to do? It was purchased on the 29th of July at Office Max.
Why don't you just have the seller do an exchange from office Max? If that's not too much trouble.

I'm not sure but since Asus has a 1 year warranty on their products, I think you can get them to RMA it. you will have to pay for shipping to them though.
however I seem to recall some people saying Asus said you have to go thru Google to RMA it, so I'm not 100% positive. let me know what Asus says.

G2 issues, any solutions/suggestions?

I am really thinking of selling this thing. I put it up at Craigslist just to see what kind of bites I get on it. I'm just having a hard time with some stuff:
Proximity sensor is weird, at times the screen doesn't turn on when I put the phone down when calling someone, and other times when calling someone and I put it up to my ear the phone seems to go to sleep and the call is disconnected. Sometimes when the phone doesn't turn on again the knock on sensor doesn't work and I have to use the power button.
Knock on doesn't work half the time. I've tried every variation of fast, slow, and keeping my finger in the middle. Sometimes it works beautifully , others times it takes 4 or 5 tries.
Random battery drain, seems it's that CIQ GPS issue, but it just randomly pops up and if the phone is in my pocket drains half of it in an hour or 2.
Rear buttons are getting annoying. They are sensitive, if it's in my pocket and I'm listening to music even a light tap of my pocket and the volume is affected. I can't really get used to them.
Speaker is TERRIBLE. I did the audio hack on here and raised it to 68, I also tried the Viper4android app, neither of them made much difference. Even if they did, it's still mono so doesn't make for a great emergency boombox. I can be in a quiet room and it's bordering on useless.
Even with CleanROM installed I still get occasional lag, it's only minor, but it just bums me out with such powerful hardware.
The rest of my complaints are with Android and things that are just not polished or ready for prime time, but that should be another subject.
Pluses:
The screen is insane, and it's VERY easy to read in sunlight.
The battery life (when not bugged) is pretty insane as well.
Android is cool to tinker with.
Who else is on the fence?
Err no

I mean.. I have had a BLAST with the G2 so far.
I wouldnt sell it if I got the double for what I paid.
Well.. I would.. and I would buy another one !
But on my G2 I have no issues whatsoever. Not rooted or anything yet though.
O.P, you have a defect.
My phone definitely doesn't act like that. I'd try exchanging first before selling it altogether
Why did you wait till after the return window was closed? I'm afraid Craigslist would only net you some low ballers.
I'm not sure which carrier version you have but if it's a Verizon version expect nothing but low ball offers.

OP is alone on this one. So far it's been the best phone I've owned. The screen and battery kill all.
I tend to wonder if people start threads like this in the forum of the phone they are selling just to get attention. Just sell it and move away quietly. No one really cares.

I haven't sold my phone. I will probably send it in to LG to see what they think, I just was hesitant to do that in case they can't replicate the problems. I didn't feel like waiting a month just to have them send it back and say it's fine. Seems they are intermittent. Most of the time the phone functions well, other than a slight lag. The proximity sensor issues are fairly occasional, but I haven't had the phone in a while. The knock on sensor is about 1/3 the time, but anecdotally I've read lots of other users having the same issue so that may be a universal problem with maybe a batch of them. The battery drain issue is also a well known bug with CIQ which some experience.

Edit: This is according to Norwegian\Scandinavian laws btw.

One more update then - LAWYER UP!! Class Action....

I am willing to pursue a class action lawsuit on behalf of all of us who were sold defective Nexus 7 (2013) tablet's and have useless touchscreens.
I am giving them one more chance with an update to repair the problem and then I'm taking it to my company's lawyer.
I have sent it in once, they told me they "re-calibrated the screen and digitizer"......no improvement.
Still having sticky keys, phantom touches, long presses.....It is absolutely a useless tablet as I can't type like I normally can.
If you would like to pursue litigation, please join me.
GOOGLE, YOU HAVE ONE MORE CHANCE!! MAKE THIS RIGHT OR WE WILL END UP IN COURT - GUARANTEED.
Its no worse then what we saw (actually far better) with the Xoom timing out touch events after 15 seconds.
Don't get me wrong... It is certainly annoying... I'm just not certain that it meets the criteria for the type of litigation you are suggesting.

Has Google refused to remedy your problem, either with a new tablet or an update? It's not as if the entire product line is defective - far from it. As with anything that's manufactured, there will be some items that fall below standard. I doubt you have the right to sue over this. I understand you're pissed but a CAL isn't going to happen.
Let us know what your lawyer says. I'd be surprised if you found one willing to take the case.

We'll see, but having to resort to an older tablet to send emails is unacceptable.

If the entire product line was defective and Google refused to remedy the situation, then a CAL could be justified. Have you exhausted all avenues of approach yet? Demanded a refund? A new tablet? Those are your best options at the moment. I personally don't have a problem with my N7.

Google's return policy is 15 days after the date of delivery, You missed out on the chance of getting a replacement or a refund.
Your best shot now is contact ASUS again and demand they pay for the shipping for a defective item, try to demand talking to a manager might help.
Am sure if we get Andy Dufresne involved he will fix it for us for a few cold beers each on the rooftop of asus factory for the defected units

Regarding the CAL, if you missed the return/refund window for Google you can't really get anything from CAL.

Rofl...problem is most people are too ignorant to even realize their device is defective.
Shouting about "my N7 works perfect!"....

+1 Someone say his Nexus isn't working properly and that is willing to take action, then the thread suddenly floods with people with "perfect" Nexus, and saying it's not a big deal.
If you don't have any problem with your Nexus, hooray! good for you, a lot of us do have problems.
PS: I was the owner of a Note 8, 0 problems, I though, well I had the Nexus 7(2012) and it worked fine, plus is pure android. So I jumped to this Nexus for the screen and pure android... now I'm starting to regret it, just know my keyboard started with the ghost touches, is incredibly annoying...
Let me say something. This guy is right we are getting the shaft. I been building computers and a tech for 20 yrs. I have had every top of the line tablet out there. I still love my IPAD 4.
I have bought 7 Nexus 7 2013 from 3 different places and the seventh still is messed up. Now you are going to say that is normal. Bullcrap.
Out of all of the top of the line tablets I have I never had to take them back and replace them. Once would be fine but 7 and still not working is not freakin right.
I have had the Asus TF101, Asus TF300, Asus TF700, Samsung GALAXY Tab 1, Galaxy tab 8.0, Toshiba Thrive, Toshiba Excite, HP touch pad and more never had a screen problem like this. I have a I7 3700K overclocked on air at 4.7ghz evo 212 cpu fan.
You should never have to replace more than 2 times to get something right, I would have to say that their product line is 85% bad on the Nexus 7 2013.

Safe way of getting a 6P outside of the US ?

Hey,
Okay, so I've been using the Galaxy S2 for god knows how long and I really need to move on.. and also the fact that its battery is dying for the third time... that helped me to take the decision to go with the 6P.
There's just a major problem, I'm neither from US nor Europe... and I don't wanna pay 200$ or 300$ extra just to get it.. because the only reason i'm buying it is it has a great value in its current price..
I have seen a few nice forwarding sites, like fishisfast and usgobuy and they do look promising... I can buy from the Google Store and ship to my country and that would only cost me about 50 bucks more.. which is great...
My only concern is defective units... I've seen so many complaints on the forums here about defective units starting from the slight pink screen to speakers and the list goes on... and I'm afraid that If I receive a defective unit i won't be able to get a replacement...
is there's any safe way of getting the 6P without compromising warranty or paying like 200 extra bucks
I'm not sure about your situation but wanted to tell you if you reply to your own post with the word bump it will get moved to the top and people will see it. You don't have to keep starting threads. Just a friendly FYI.

Yea, I was totally gonna do that... I'm just afraid to get a defective unit somehow...
If that happens, I don't think you can return it, right ?
Okay, I'm going with a forwarding service.. which one is better to order from, Huawei or the Google Store ?

From a returns standpoint I'd easily prefer the Google Store. However, I'm not sure how that applies (or doesn't) to your current situation & questions.

Ugh, I'm sick of this, I've always wanted to buy a Nexus.. Starting from the Nexus 4, to the 5 and then 6P... and I never did.. Why google makes them that damn hard to get anywhere else on the world !!
I think I'm gonna wait till Amazon start selling them officially.. That's probably gonna be the best in returns standpoint..

Okay, No Nexus for me then... I am buying the HTC M8.. It does have a pretty active dev community.... Definitely not as good as the 6P.. But it's currently for half its price...
