[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
I'm talking about quality issues in general, not just with the 6T.

In searching, I'm finding a lot of people across the world have had issues that have gone unresolved and where support has been sketchy.

There are also some that report great support and speedy service.

My question is "What's normal?"

Kind of hard to tell.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
well, I spent many years in the consumer electronics world, and the "standard" in our category was 3% or less defectives were the goal; so, if its true they have sold 3 million of these so far, than 3% would be 90,000 "defects"...If the "norm" in the cell phone world is 1%, then 30,000 defects would be "acceptable"

Add modifying the software/unlocking the bootloader/flashing stuff not designed for your specific phone, and so forth, and its easy to see why there are quite a few "alleged" defects; some are users fault, some are things that slipped through QC..

It may be a different percentage in the cell phone world, but that gives you a rough idea of how many defects are "expected", in terms of a percentage of sales of new product..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] taphius:
i've had 4 opo's, 1 op2, 1 3, 1 3t, 1 5, and now a 6t. So far the only one with issues was the op2 and that was a bright spot on the display.

Only 'issue' im seeing now is there are some kinkys with tap display to wake while on a phone call (it doesnt work), but thats probably software not hardware
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] SrbinYU:
When the phone works it's a great phone, but the service is garbage. I sended my 3t to repair and they ask me to send the original charger (eu) an data cable with it. Then they sended the wrong charger back (uk).

I mailed them and they cant figure out a solution to this problem, like just send me a eu charger and i send you back the stupid uk charger. But it is to difficult for them.

So yeah they make great phones but there aftersales is garbage.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] davemuir:
Yeah man, definitely.

Much easier here.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
The solution can't possibly be any easier! Just send the right charger SMH

I still haven't experienced Dash charging because the original charger didn't work and the replacement never came.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
I don't count issues related to user mods, or even general wear and tear...

If I'd had the phone for 3 or so months and the camera went bad, I'd be just a bit more understanding
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
That's the exact issue I had.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tech_head:
My phone is fine but with any complicated device there with be some "infant mortality" for devices.

A small percentage of devices will fall out in manufacturing and some will fallout as early failures.

The bulk of devices will fail , but at some time outside the warranty period.

Then you will have some devices that will never fail.

It's a bell curve.

Ideally you would want to see the MTBF for the devices.

The longer the better. I don't think anyone publishes that.

My mode of operation s use it a lot when I first get it.

If it fails or stumbles for any reason, I'll send it back.

It's not going to get better from that point.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
yep, its really important to test out all your most frequently used features immediately, so if there is any issues right out of the box, you return/exchange it, so there is less of a fight about it later..

thats also a big part of why I almost always buy a phone from my carrier; its usually alot easier to get issues handled through the carrier than directly through the manufacturer..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
I feel you..

This is my 1st time buying a non carrier phone.

I wanted the midnight black 8 gb version, and I wanted it completely unlocked for possibly better resale value in the future. I also got a discount and didn't have to pay tax, or t mobiles mandatory sim starter kit fee (so stupid).

But this wouldn't be an issue if I had just purchased through them
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] dermotti:
This is probly the first phone that ive bought thats been flawless other than my 4s. Heres my recent resume of phones:

Iphone 4s flawless

Iphone 5s = overheated all the time

Samsung S6 = went through 6, all amoled issues.

Note 5 = went through 4, amoled issues

Note 7 = recalled

Honor 5x = flawless, but no updates

Lg G5 = Great phone, garbage battery

Pixel XL = went through 5. 4 of them spontaneously just died and never turned back on. Made by HTC
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Causical:
Ummmm... You're hired Sir
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
[MENTION=1001111]cronojay[/MENTION] will you let me know what the outcome is? I'd like to know how they fixed it and what will say the cause is.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
I just received the email with the information for my replacement.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] zymphad:
Hmm this thread.is pushing me towards a Pixel.

I expect problems with all devices, but how the manufactuer addresses CS makes the difference. This thread is a mess from OnePlus, seems a lot of denial, having to pay for shipping, waiting months for replacement.

And these are known issues to OnePlus. For all issues listed here I know Google would have sent the replacement and just asked for your CC info until your defective unit was recoeved by them, usually 2_3 day process and they cover shipping.

I was seriously considering a 6T, now thinking OnePlus might be worse to deal with than even Huawei.

Hope I am wrong.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
you know the old saying, "I have price, quality, and service....pick TWO"

You can't have all 3 of those things most of the time, so think about that...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] zymphad:
Wonder if could be fixed with a US distributor.

But despite what has been posted here , may still roll the dice.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
remember, if they sold 3 million or so phones right now, and a handful of people of XDA report issues, that would hardly be enough to influence any purchase decision, IMO..

now, if you see in mainstream media, that thousands of buyers have an issue, thats a whole different thing
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ГАСООП:
I bought mine the day it went on sale. I'm kinda disappointed with its quality. Speaker is not too good. I had no problems with it so far though, it works ok nothing broke yet.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
Congrats... I guess a replacement is the best outcome, but I still feel like the process could have been made simpler.

1. $21 Return Shipping

2. Wait time after you send in logs to support.

3. Another wait time for replacement to be sent.

A replacement should have been sent out immediately IMO
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
With price and quality, you won't need much in terms of service.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
these are more reasons why buying this phone from tmobile is a good idea; instant replacement, no return shipping charges, no logs have to be sent..you ALWAYS need service on electronic items
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] crótach:
I've only had to use OnePlus serivce once and it was a breeze. Battery wasn't holding much charge on my OnePlus X. You could argue it's an older device, or that it's "normal", but no, they said send it back and I got a replacement within a few days.

You'll always find forum posts with people complaining, because nobody ever posts "my phone still works", or "i got it repaired and it's fine". So I thought I'd chip in :)
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
One answer only...no need to fight for a Sim unlock
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wase4711:
I had no "fight" getting mine unlocked; one phone call, one request, done..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
5 chats with support and no dice.

Update. Three days in and no response from OP on the status on the replacement device.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
Oh wow, I thought you said they reached out and were going to replace the device?

I finally heard back from them, but only to say that they would "See what they can do to help me" if I cancel the paypal dispute FIRST.

Paypal has basically ruled in my favor and said that if I return the device, they'll issue my refund whether OnePlus agrees or not, but OnePlus isn't cooperating with return shipping even though I have proof that they made the promise to me to do so.

If you had to do it over again, would you buy another phone through OnePlus? Or, would you buy this phone via t mobile instead of One Plus?

I really wish amazon was selling this phone... it'd be much easier.

I've even considered buying the 6 on Amazon, but the price is sky high for no apparent reason.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Dedzdedz:
I have been reading about quality issues, but mine does not have any luckily. Some complain about cracks on the corners, burned screens... Well I haven't got any of them. This phone is just two good. For those that have them and I believe they do just contact OnePlus and for sure they will sort you out.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

Don't cancel the ticket you made to PayPal, once you cancel it you will lose your right to complain. Return the device and buy a new one. Don buy from T-Mobile nor Amazon, buy from the official store, try again. Some people were unlucky to get faulty devices.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
They did and said that it would take 2 days to process plus 2-5 business days shipping. They sent me the tracking number Monday but no update on the tracking.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
Oh I'm definitely not cancelling the dispute.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Aburel18:
If it does ? Oh yeah remove your plastic stock screen protector and you will find out that your phone screen is scratched from the factory.

Is like a claw or something a machine or a band what transport or twist the phones because you can see it

Before to fight with me I tell you that I changed 3 phones and I own two of OnePlus 6t and I start with OnePlus one so I got experience with them.seems to be a quality control problem
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
Any update yet?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
So I did a new device Wednesday. Factory sealed.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
So what's your overall feeling? Was the process worth it or "not too bad" in hindsight?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cronojay:
I think OnePlus needs to be much more hands on as the situation I had should have been an immediate replacement due to it being within the return window, not a month long process. The emails I received we're always overnight so it was not US based as I thought it would be. This made the response time extremely slow.

Since TMobile did not help me in sim unlocking my device after multiple calls and Twitter DMs. I could not purchase from TMobile again. So in hindsight it is not too bad..
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] j2gifted:
I see.. well I'm still in a battle. PayPal claim still open. Currently, all I received are auto replies from OnePlus saying if I don't reply in X days my issue will be mark solved.

PayPal resolved the dispute in my favor, but is saying that OnePlus is still asking for the device to be returned but is still not owning up the return shipping costs... So PayPal advised me to file a dispute with my credit card instead. They've issued a preliminary refund while they investigate.

Meanwhile, while browsing around for another phone, my wife informed me that she purchased a 6T for me for Christmas [emoji52] and it's supposed to arrive Monday. So now I'm kinda annoyed .. and excited. As I said, really liked the phone when it worked.

los 16 would be appreciate for this beast tablet.. hope some dev start working for betas
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
I have an interest in creating some custom EDL packages for personal use, to automate a few things and just generally make things easier. Like modem packages, bootstack packages, etc. Can someone point out some tutorials that outline things like:

1. Structure of an EDL and the meanings of the files and what they do (ex. firehose file, gpt***, rawprogram***, etc)

2. Utilities for packaging an EDL

3. Anything else I can't think of offhand

I know that many of the files in an EDL are nothing more than raw partition images that are to be written to a corresponding partition on the device, other files are partition layout/size files, and others provide instructions for the EDL flashing program to execute.

I already have some experience in how to create zip packages that are flash able in TWRP, as well as experience with Linux commands and scripting, so that should prove useful as well.

Thanks!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
I've been experimenting with my current Edls. (ones I have downloaded not my own)

Changing boot.img and splash.img etc.

There are various tools on the net to modify the img, extract and repack img files if your into modifications to the img?

I'm not 100% sure however I think the Edl is created via twrp of your current setup. (backup files) (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

If I understand correctly,

Firehose is an exploit used to access the phones root directory. (again please correct me if I'm wrong)

I've had to modify firehose in some cases for it to work. (Causes error if incorrect)

You should be able to pack with WinZip or winrar if using Windows, I'm not sure with Linux tho.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=8621927]Syberclone[/MENTION]: Well, like I said, they are mostly just raw partition images that correspond to partitions on the device. Like for example, boot.img is boot partition, recovery.img is recovery partition, etc. As far as modding a boot.img, there is Android Image Kitchen, which runs on Android, Windows, and Linux, maybe Mac too. There are surely also tools out there that can create/modify TWRP images, but I'm not aware of any by name. However, neither of those has anything to do with creating an EDL.

I have seen a feature in [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION]'s Oreo TWRP that can back up the bootstack/firmware into an EDL, but there must be PC tools out there for this.

It's my understanding that firehose is the binary/executable programmer file that the EDL flasher tool (MiFlash/A7 EDL Tool, DFU MultiDL Tool, etc) uses.

There is no WinZip, WinRAR or 7-Zip for Linux, but there are other far superior archiving tools for Linux that can do the same and much more. Linux is a far superior OS than Windows in almost every way (except gaming), in my experience. It is much more stable, rarely crashes (unless you screw up), and has a diversified range of software for accomplishing almost any task. There are a lot of things you can do with Linux that are either difficult/impossible/impractical in Windows.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Syberclone:
Yes, I am familiar with the Edls and how they are structured.

I am familiar with Linux too, and it is diverse and has a lot of great OS's and great applications, I have many discs with Linux but very rarely use them or Windows much any more. We could debate the ins and outs, ups and downs of all OS's however that's kind of off topic.

The topic at hand is Edls, its only been since I've owned this Axon 7 that I've experienced Edls, I've seen some tools that could possibly do the job, however haven't had time to really study these.

One such app is "Smart Flasher tool" that is a Qualcomm chipset app for use with several different phones.

This looks very promising from a couple of YouTube vids I've watched, however the download links seem to be malicious.

There is also Sahara and firehose, as well as eMMC raw tool utility.

Both via a Russian website.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Razor512:
The most amazing thing would be if there were a one step process of unlocking the bootloader, and getting TWRP + a custom ROM installed.

For example, imagine if there were an EDL package that flashed the device to a state where it cleared partitions as needed, and got a working and rooted copy of lineage installed, thus instead of users having to follow like a 20+ step guide, they would instead just enable OEM unlock, reboot into EDL, then flash a single package that did everything.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=2221095]Razor512[/MENTION]: That's the lazy way of doing things. I would rather do it step by step, and get the learning experience and understanding of the overall process. An all in one package does it all for you, but that's spoonfeeding. You dont learn anything, unless you already understand how everything works.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Razor512:
The process is simple enough, but it can get time consuming since you have to be present for it all when you want to jump back to the stock builds once in a while, e.g., if traveling, and you want android pay and other stock functions under android 8.0, and then jump back to lineage, or if you are periodically testing lineage in the hopes that a ported dolby atmos finally works reliable, it is easier if you have an EDL package that you can flash. Also, if things are not good, just flash the stock ZTE EDL and be back on stock immediately.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
I am asking myself what these 2 options in TWRP are for,and when they should be executed?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
The first option disables/enables dm-verity for the system partition, the 2nd option disables/enable EMMC write protection for the system partition. That's my understanding of it. You are using [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION]'s TWRP, correct?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
Yes,correct,But i dont understand when we should execute these commands.

I followed oki s guide for flashing los15 with his EDL kit,and he mentioned these steps in his guide...but previous i never used these command
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
Don't use [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION]'s guide, it is better to do everything by hand and get a learning experience/understanding of everything that is going on. Like for instance, view everything as a separate step unto itself (unlocking bootloader, flashing TWRP, flashing a ROM/modem, etc.). I tried both of his EDL packages and had various issues (ROM sometimes not booting, etc). You can still use his TWRP and vendor Party tool, just avoid his EDLs. I had posted in his thread once for help but never got an answer, so I moved on and started from scratch with a clean EDL flash.

Short answer: you can run them whenever you want
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Predatorhaze:
i always did.

I like to know what it does,not when i can run them whenever i want.

Because whent i have excetue this,my system partition is suddenly smaller,but my battery holds longer %
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] AnonVendetta:
[MENTION=7288053]Predatorhaze[/MENTION]: I tried to explain to the best of my understanding. You are free to flash anything on your phone that you want. [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION] is a good dev and s/he tries to be helpful, but my experience with his/her ROM EDL zips hasn't been good, which is why I recommended to avoid them. The issues you mention seem quite weird, they should not be happening, are you certain?

I can only suggest that you post in the relevant thread for help.

[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] thereal_bigjake:
Like the look of this watch face but I like a digital clock with date in ambient mode. Would you consider adding and option like that?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] vlad1m1r90:
As the name suggests, I was not planning to add digital clock :(. I wanted to make this watch face as simple and lightweight as possible.

If I have time I will create another digital watch face.

But I will for sure add option to hide specific complications in ambient mode. Because I also want to have a date in ambient mode :).
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] thereal_bigjake:
I hear ya, I personally just like digital for ambient and analog for the normal but there isn't many watch faces that I've found with that option
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] AstroDigital:
I like nice clean watch faces, black background.....
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] +0-:
I really like that watch face is open source. :good:
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] dr.n3rd:
H1 Vlad, I applaud you for your awesome watchface. Personally I am having massive problems implementing complications in my android watch.

You dont possibly have a guide or tutorial to help a lost soul out?
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] vlad1m1r90:
Sorry for a late replay. This watch face was created for this Pluralsight course.

It's behind the paywall, but you can get 10 days for free, and watch just this course. It explains step by step how to create a watch face.

Hi There,

Included in the new Mobile 6.1 OS there is the SMS Threading.

Does anyone know how to restore your SMS correctly without breaking the threaded view? I have tried all kinds of different programs, and they all show that the restore has been succesfull. In some programs you can even view the SMS on pc.

But always the threaded view on the device itself is corrupt.

Does anybody know how to rebuild the view?

Thank you already,
