Mine is okay. Honestly this phone has had the best build quality of any phone I've ever had (Moto Maxx, S7 Edge, LG G3, iPhone 4s, iPhone 6s, iPhone 8, Pixel XL, Pixel 2 XL).
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pk-air:
This guy just getting subscribers for his channel. He had links under his video to buy OP5T while saying don buy but now he removed them after people noticed it on OnePlus forum. We can't truly say if he actually carried his phone in case all the time. Those chips he is showing look like water marks or some type of liquid dried out on the bottom of his phone. I am carrying my phone in carbon case for a month already and no such issues. I even dropped it few times still nothing.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Lirchu:
Feel bad for u guys. I didn't have that problem because I use it with a case since day 1
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ShermCraig:
How very cynical of you. He was referring to the case that came with the phone, so if you aren't using that, it kinda makes sense. Seems its the included case that 'may be' the culprit.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hypergamer1231:
Lol guys like you make easy things difficult.

Yes I had links to buy the 5t and removed them but that's because we as youtubers use a template which we modify slightly. Talking about subscribers you might wanna check how many subs I achieved with this video v/s how many subs I earned by making videos that help people with step by step guides. Please do your research before you point at someone mate am just trying to help.

Besides there are more than a handful number of people now who have identified the same issue with their phones. So yes it's a collective effort and we will ensure OnePlus fixes this.

Thank you and peace.

Update : Just got a call from service and they said that oneplus has agreed to replace the backpanel of the phone under warranty. Those affected please contact oneplus service. please note they will only replace if you have major paint chipping like mine.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hypergamer1231:
service was completely free of cost but i had to wait for line 3 hours. plus now the camera glass is smugged from the inside which they will replace but don't have it in stock now. so i have to call on 15 th and then come and have it replaced
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ankushgautam:
Good that they replaced it...howz the quality of the new panel??is it the exact same like original?? If possible post some pictures or make a video

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PriPhaze:
Is this still a problema on recent models?

Im about to recieve mine like this next week but i won't be getting the case until like by the end of the month.

So i was actually thinking on using the provided case until then.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kaushalagarwal:
I am also a victim of this. Facing the very same issue. I noticed it long back on antenna lines first, but I ignored. But now the top, bottom and side edges are dotted just like yours.!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Fir3lordZuk0:
Good to know man.

Anyways I have replaced back cover
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PriPhaze:
Do you also happen to have the black version? Is this only for that model?

I have red one and so far it is seems to be ok using the provided TPU case
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] showofdeth:
I'm getting this too. There are straight, shiny lines/marks from where the back touches the PLASTIC phone stand I use. Sucks but what can ya do. Don't care enough to send it back but I will invest in a dbrand skin in the near future.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kaushalagarwal:
Yes, I do have black version and using the bundled case coming with phone itself.

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Junacy:
I've had issues as well. Case left a small, quarter inch line under the camera housing and there are some signs of wear on the lower antenna band. Doesn't look all that bad really, only noticeable if looking at the phone up close.

Update - Contacted OnePlus and they agreed to replace the back. Thanks for sharing your experience OP.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] dajumper:
Did everyone with this problem use the silicone case what was in the box? They say its because of that case
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Helhound0:
Hi. I have to apologize because did not believe this was an actual issue at the time this was posted. Mainly because i didn't have such problems with my OnePlus 5T months after use. But i took the phone out from the casing after a long time today and i was surprised by the amount of random black dots all over the back of my phone. I'm now having the same issue as you.

Sad part is i bought this phone through a third party retailer without hardware warranty so i will have to live with it until i sell. AND the selling price will go down by a LOT because of this too.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] swapavi:
Don't think that's the case here man.. the paint chipping is happening to other people too. And I actually enjoy his channel, there are not many rom reviewers on YouTube so it's nice that someone is taking the time to do reviews on em.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Crash:
Same happened to me my friend I'm looking for a OEM store in China to buy the part and replaced when I sell the phone.

For know I order a DBrand skin :D

paint chipping issue oneplus 5

I am facing the same issue with my oneplus5 and when i asked the customer service to look into it they simply said that it does not cover under the warranty and that we never fixed these kind of issues for anyone.

paint chipping issue

i have the same issue my 5t back panel has paint chipping issue and its spreading day by day now i dont know what to do
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] 350Rocket:
My OnePlus has no chips other than 1 in a dent on the back where I dropped it on the hardwood and some tiny wear on the corner also from dropping it. It's actually been holding up great considering. Hopefully this isn't a widespread issue.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] CoinCoin88:
Hi guys,

After carefully looking at these tiny spots on the back of my phone, I'm fairly sure this is the same issue I'm experiencing. I'm seeing more and more if this "shiny", slightly discoloured spots (more matte than the backpanel glossy coating). And I was also using the original plastic bumper case provided in the box. I'll contact Oneplus support and see what they agree to do, also linking to this thread to support my case.

Any idea as to how long it takes to ship the phone, have it serviced and sent back? I may as well take this opportunity to have them upgrade the DRM level that's causing netflix and other streaming services not to stream HD.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] 0kk0:
if everyone who has this problem also can tell us wich case they use when they post a message here? Thnx a lot!

i use karbon bumper abount one month on lava red 5t and no chipping here.. also bought transparant skin on https://phantomskinz.com
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] CoinCoin88:
Well customer support in Europe doesn't seem very eager to fix this:

(disregard the Widevine part: I wasn't planning on taking that upgrade but thought since I was going to send my phone for repair, I may as well do that at the same time)

I would appreciate if those of you who have experienced this issue could have a look at this archive of pics I took to send Oneplus when they asked for it (just before the answer I copy/pasted): https://www.dropbox.com/s/t05zc0ci2g044i8/Paint chipping.zip?dl=0

To me, although this is not "too much" marked (yet??), it's clearly not "normal wear and tear" on a 3-month old phone!!
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hypergamer1231:
Just saw the pics and your issue is extremely minor. Go for a good case they won't replace the back panel for such a small issue
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] CoinCoin88:
I was under the impression it was similar to what you experienced in the video you posted in OP (although focus is arguably not very stable and it's difficult to tell). There are much more of these "matte" spots than can be seen on the pictures. I should actually try to make a small video of it and move the phone under a constant light so that all these are visible.

Even though it's likely minor compared to what has been described here, this is not "normal wear" on a 560 EUR phone. But not unexpected considering how poor their customer service has been described countless times :/
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hypergamer1231:
What bothers me the most is people saying that this phone cannot have paint chipping as this phone is not painted but has anodized metal. Well guess what the color is falling off and the fact that my video has more than 30000 views also signifies how widespread the problem is.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] CoinCoin88:
Not exactly the number of views, it's a really biased estimator of what you're looking for. But rather the fact that Oneplus initially refused to service you, and then retracted in light of likely numerous similar requests.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] danvrez:
i suggest for a better information control, post which phone color do you have and the manufacture date. maybe the problem is related to a specific batch
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Amanpreetsingh:

[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] luciferhaki:
same issue here
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sjain11:
Can someone please tell if you faced this chipping issue on using any other back cover also?

Or if your chipping stopped progressing when you switched from provided cover to some other?

I have multiple such dots, some on the back, others on edges. Though they appear only when you look closely under good light. But still I am skeptical. I have applied a new cover with smooth inner surface. I am looking for suggestions as to what to do because I don't think service center people will consider these dots as a major issue.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sjain11:
Anyone please?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] phprmr:
I am also facing same problem
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AravindhStanley:
I had the chipping issues with both the official case that came with the box and the Spigen bumper case as well. Oneplus said it's just the cosmetic damage and I didn't wanna waste my time. So got myself a skin.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:
No issue. I'm NOT using the official case. I have it but not use it. Don't like it at all.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sjain11:
How was the inner surface of Spigen case?

Smooth,

Or anything rough like that provided case?

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Which case are you using now?
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AravindhStanley:
The Spigen one had smooth surface and it even had some spacing so that dust gets accumulated inside the gap, rather than rubbing against the surface of the phone.

Now I'm not using any case, just the skin.
[OnePlus 5T  Guides, News, & Discussion] null0seven:

Are you on a Verizon branded one? Or Google Store came unlocked?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Google unlocked with Verizon SIM.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] jascolli:
Thanks a ton for this tutorial. This is my first Google device and I'm really worried that I'm going to mess something up. I came from an HTC 10 which seemed so much easier to navigate around and flash on. I plan on using your method tomorrow morning once I have all of the related files downloaded and some quality time to spare.

I have the same set up as you. Google bought with a Verizon Sim. I currently have TWRP and Magisk 15.2 installed so I think your instructions should apply to me perfectly.

Thanks again.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Best thing to do is download the factory image and remove -w from flash-all. (removing -w keeps your device from wiping)

This gives you something to fall back on if all else fails.

Ensure you use the flash-all for your current build & security patch.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] doublej713:
Does flashing the factory image replace the kernel too?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Yes.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] doublej713:
If I flash-all with the -w included, is that basically a factory reset? Also, does that flash both slots and/or do you need to flash both slots?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Yes, if you do not remove the -w, it will reset your device.

It flashes both slots A & B.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] doublej713:
Last question, if I'm willing to lose all my data, can I just flash the latest factory image? This is my first pixel device, and while all of this seems the same as other phones, the terminology seems to be a little different.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] gvsukids:
Yes
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Edited original post with Note #2.

OTAs will not work on modified phones.

Screenshots added.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pianobeats:
I'm kind of new so here are some questions.

So the first step is essentially getting rid of Magisk by flashing the December patch by using the "flash-all.bat" batch file, right? This is essentially unrooting your phone.

Then you sideloaded the January OTA. But it says that you switched from Boot Slot B to Boot Slot A. Is there a reason for that?

Also is Snoke R1 a custom kernel? If we're not installing a custom kernel we just skip that step right?

Sorry for all the questions. You're the only person who actually made a proper guide. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
Welcome, and questions are always ok.

You are mostly correct. OTA cannot verify the system with Magisk installed. OTA cannot install without the stock recovery.

Flash-all is returning your system boot & dtbo, and returning the stock recovery.

This must happen so when the new OTA verifies the system it will meet all of the checks.

I will update the OP to say I

verified

the boot slot switched.

Before you start, your phone will be on Boot slot B or slot A.

Google improved the OTA system; there are two boot slots. When the OTA is installed, it installs first on the non-booting slot. Once it's complete, your phone switches the boot slot until the next OTA it will switch again. So, it will go A to B, or B to A, depending on the current slot. This makes the transition to new OTA easier and faster.

The Snoke kernel is a custom kernel. R1 is the build for 8.1

If you do not want a custom kernel, yes you will skip it.

Alternatively, you will have to use Magisk patched boot method with the Stock boot image.

Look here if that's what you want to do: [GUIDE] Unlock/Flash/Root for the Pixel 2 (walleye) - Post 127

Steps and process are the same for patching the stock boot.

:good:
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Daandofreak:
I am on december version, what if i download january factory image and flash this with flash-all (without -W) on my pixel 2? I am rooted , no twrp and using flash kernel.

Is this important to flash december factory image again before flashing updating to newer one ?

I want to keep my data and settings.

Billion THX for your great help, i am really learning a lot here.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
I did not try to go straight to the JAN update. I needed to use flash-all to restore stock recovery because of TWRP.

Safest:

Either flash the DEC from flash-all (without -w) or fastboot flash boot & dtbo.

Then you should be successful updating from DEC to JAN.

Guinea pig:

Flash the JAN flash-all (without -w) and see what happens.

I have not tried this

(because TWRP).

Removing the -w in the factory image keeps data and settings.

OTAs will keep data and settings.

OTAs are the best way to update.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
If you're going to flash a factory image, you're better off just flashing the January factory image (sans -w) and getting it all done in one step. That's the method I used, and it worked just fine and kept my data intact. OTA's are flashed with ADB commands from the stock recovery, factory images are flashed through the bootloader, so TWRP doesn't interfere at all.

You'll of course still need to boot the TWRP and flash the TWRP zip afterwards, but the preceding steps are much easier.
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Diesel_Jeremiah:
So your saying: Flash Jan factory image (-w removed) on top of Dec will not require removal of TWRP and won't break anything?
[Google Pixel 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Telperion:
Correct.

The recovery is part of the boot image, so the only time you'd need to remove TWRP is if you're trying to flash something that requires the stock recovery. OTA's require the stock recovery; factory system images don't, they flash a stock boot and dtbo as part of the flashing process.

The one caveat is that for Verizon users, there may be a possibility that flashing a factory image complete with updated bootloader may re-lock the bootloader on them. But for everyone else, it's fine. Even the Verizon users could just extract the factory image and flash the components in the script, minus the bootloader:

Bluetooth Device(s) "Compete Acton Using" When Connecting!? Please MAKE IT STOP

Proud Samsung S8+ user for about 6mo, and S5 for 3 years before. Am familiar with the "Compete Action Using" option menu when selecting a link, the home button (initially), etc. However, a week or so ago I was presented with this option for the first time when connecting bluetooth to my (new to me) 2013 Outback. Wants me to pick an app to launch when connecting my car? Spotify of course! Well, I woefully discovered that this protocol launches Spotify whenever I connect to ANY bluetooth device. After a time or two I realized that I didn't even want this happening in my car, let alone when I use my bluetooth smart light, bluetooth connection to other phones, etc.....after research I cleared app defaults for Spotify...now EVERY time a bluetooth device connects it STOPS EVERYTHING to ask which app I want to launch when connecting a bluetooth device!?!??? I just want it ALL to go back to NOT prompting ANYTHING when connecting ANY bluetooth device. (Sorry for yelling....I've just spent more than an hour researching today...not to mention the other micro searches I've done since it started...) PLEASE HELP!

[Nokia 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] sathindukavneth:
I have bought Nokia 5 few months back and currently I'm on the latest stable update (7.1.2 December Update) for it. But I have found that there is a issue with receiving SMS and Calls. Most of the time when phone is in idle condition I'm not receiving any calls. I have checked it and the other person get the not available / not reachable recording. Since all the other phones worked at the same time in same location, this is not a carrier issue. And there is a problem with receiving SMS also. Sometimes all messages come at once and some OTP messages did't get at all. I have switched the sim to another phone and things are working fine as usual.

Also I have a friend having Nokia 6, and he has the same issue for months. Now he's planing to change his device due to that issue and I have to do the same if this happens in next few weeks. We have contacted Nokia customer care few times and they only asked to clear the cache. We have complaint this over months same as others, but no notable announcement even accepting this kind of issue.

If their phones can't do the basics of mobile phones what's the point of having them. Not recommended to buy this with current conditions. :eek: :eek:
