Definitely would have sent it back to banggood at the first sign of an issue.

If it's less than 30 days old, why send it to OnePlus?

Feel for you mate that sounds like crap I've been through myself with eBay/PayPal.

You could maybe have pushed them and stated that you only kept the device because of the advisors advice, so they're mistake has caused you to have further issues and miss your deadline.

For the future, avoid banggood, it's not good, tbh I'd only go via a retailer like your service provider or OnePlus themselves.

Buy for your region, not the Chinese crap, something with a valid warranty, obviously you now know the money saved actually wasn't.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FatherJony:
Because my first concern was not to save money, i just wanted to get a working phone faster and i was willing to pay 290 euros which is more than double what i saved by ordering both phones from Banggood. I went to Banggood mainly to get a green Oneplus 8 since i couldn't find one locally and Oneplus had a similar unavailability back then. I just added an Oneplus 8 pro for myself mostly as an impulse buy, as i was rather disappointed with the 9 pro and its sd888 woes.

Should i have researched things a little before pressing buy? Sure, i admit as much in my initial post. But i was promised a warranty from Oneplus and i though that they would honor it like any other major company would.

What is certain is that In the future i will avoid Oneplus. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. They will not see another cent from me. From now on, it's either a Pixel or a Samsung.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Whilst it's not nice to get burnt..I don't see OnePlus as the issue here.

First you should have sent it back to banggood within 30 days.

Plus you got a Chinese phone in the EU..

Most OEMs would say the same.

Your call though. Just think it could have been handled better initially, you live and you learn.

So where are the phones now?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FatherJony:
Did you actually read the whole of the OP? My issue is not that Oneplus refused to service a Chinese phone under warranty. My beef is that the replacement display which i bought from the EU service as part of the repair, comes with its own warranty that Oneplus refuses to honor. They admit that it needs to be replaced and that it's under warranty but they just refuse to fix it. You seem hung up on the fact that this is a Chinese model but they could do the same with an older phone, bought locally like my Oneplus 7 Pro, that had its own warranty expired and needed a screen replacement.

If you don't see this as an issue with Oneplus then you must have a very weird definition of the word warranty in your head.

I've never denied that. But two things can happen at the same time, like me handling it poorly and Oneplus refusing to honor its promises.

As for the phones, the regular 8 is with my sister while the 8 pro is with Oneplus, God knows where.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I'm not hung up on anything. I just know you wouldn't have had these issues if it was bought normally..an EU phone for someone in the EU.

And yes that includes the Chinese variant probably being built to worse standards than the EU / global devices, China allows buildings to be lived in that are falling down! You bought a phone intended for use in that country and it has an issue? Shocker.

You're always going to have problems with an out of region device, you've experienced some of these issues, why on earth would the EU region accept the loss when they have better standards, why do you think they stopped honouring Chinese devices on global warranty?

Like I said you live and you learn..

You probably wont ever buy another out of region device in your life again, that's the learning part.

And I wouldn't blame you.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FatherJony:
Oneplus themselves have stated multiple times to me that ALL parts used in the 8 pro, except for the mainboard which is different due to different regional bands, are the exact same. All variants are built on the same plants in China.

You seem to have a hard time with this so let me break it down for you. The current display is faulty. I bought the current display from Oneplus EU. The current display comes with 90 days of warranty from Oneplus EU. Oneplus EU refuses to replace it.

This is not a post about what you think the current state of China is, it's a post about Oneplus refusing to honor a warranty.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Jesus. I'm getting nowhere fast here.

Let me tell you simply.

The Chinese product is crap, it's allowed to be crap because they have worse standards than anywhere else.

If like any normal person you would have bought the device in the EU and it was an EU device, then you would not be having these issues.. they'd just swap out the bloody phone..

As it's Chinese they DO NOT WANT TO HELP YOU!!!

Why am I explaining things to someone who for some unbeknownst reason spent another few hundred EU on a device they apparently just bought less than a month earlier.

You must have a screw loose mate.

Good luck with whatever you choose to do. Please leave me out the convo, it's absolutely mental.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:
Well, thats expected. Why would oneplus service a EU display in a Chinese phone?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I agree.

I'd like them to. But I get why they don't and wouldn't expect them to
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:
First the Chinese phone is only liable for warranty and service in mainland China and the display is Europe, meaning either he fixed it himself without being careful, most likely damaging something. Or he went to an unauthorised service place to repair it and they screwed it up.

Warranty doesn't apply to people who break the display by not taking precautions. I'm pretty sure every warranty doesn't cover “accidental damages”
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
? Why are you explaining this to me? I'm fully aware of what's covered and what isn't?

I'm not confused here bud

I'm not the OP, but I think you need to read the OP to understand what's happened..

He didn't change the screen himself, OnePlus did apparently.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:
Im not explaining it to you, just saying to the OP , I just unconsciously clicked reply as I do in all my posts. Sorry. 😕
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Oh ok. Just click quote on their post mate
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FatherJony:
Want has nothing to do with it. It's not help either. It's a contractual obligation. Those higher standards in the EU you keep mentioning include regulations related to financial transactions and consumer protection. When you pay for a service that also offers warranty, that warranty is part of the product's price. Honoring that warranty isn't optional, in fact not honoring it is illegal. The only reason they did this is that they know that a lawsuit would cost many times more than the phone itself, so most people don't bother.

Constantly trying to change the subject to the origin of the phone is just gashlighting at this point. I was not the one that broke the law and it's not illegal to own a Chinese phone. If Oneplus EU had an issue with that, they could simply deny repairing it, which they absolutely didn't.

The reason was clearly stated. I was reassured by Oneplus EU that the new display would come with its own warranty and i believed they would honor it since as you say, the West has strong standards and such.

Name calling followed by bailing out, classy. No one forces you to participate mate, but if you are not ready for replies that don't agree with your opinions, maybe you should not post them publicly.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] FatherJony:
Because they (Oneplus EU, not Huawei), put it there as part of a payed service (repair) and because the new display comes with its own 90 days of warranty. Please see the screenshot i posted in the original post.

Oneplus repairs all device variants and would even provide warranty services to all till half a year ago.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yep ok mate. Let's leave it there shall we. It's over, your don't even have an 8 pro anymore.

Let the thread die.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kenora_I:
Well, ain't that cheery.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] alojo:
I thought because of their relationship with Cyanogenmod their treat would be better.

Sorry for your experience, pal
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yea i agree with you mate, that was the inital push from XDA and the chaps behind cyanogen mod, the fact that they partnered to make the OS was a huge win for the community, everybody was behind it and it was a great time, then they released the 1+1 and no one could get it, then the OS sort of changed, then i'm not sure what happened, but i think the chaps involved initially left or were moved on, tbh mate it's a chinese company, they do this a lot, they'll welcome people in then copy what they want and then move on to something else.

I'm only learning all this about China for the first time and it's quite sickening tbh, theres no such thing as moderation or save until tomorrow in china, if it's in front of you then use it / eat it / consume it / copy it, preserving things doesn't come into the equation.

Lol look at Huawei, they partnered up with XDA when they were a pitiful company, they released turd after turd, they were basically the phone that people gave their kids to keep them quiet and even the kids hated them, then the p9 i think it was, then the 10 and then come the 20 and 20 pro, they then pulled the ability to unlock the bootloader, think i may be going pixel for my next phone, hope their new CPU works on par with a snapdragon.

Cyanogen mod isn't the same as it once was, tbh Android isn't.

Wow i've written a paragraph, :) rant over.

PS: Check out this guy on YT, he lives there and knows china well, quite scary stuff.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlhxr:
Hey, man. Let's keep it simple and focus on the issue itself. After reading the full post, I'd like to say similar things would happen as well if you buy a EU/US variant and want to get service in China. So for all who don't want to run into similar issues, buy at your local authorized retailer or from the official site.

And as a Chinese living in China for over 20 years and now in US, I'd say the YT you referred is mostly untrue. Just saw several clips of his video. Welcome to China when pandemic ends to see by yourself, it will definitely shock you from what you see in western worlds.

Last, if you can remove the channel link, I will appreciate as we'd better not to spread false statement and also keep the technical forum clean to tech. Thanks!
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Each to their own, that guys lived there for years. I have my opinions and you'll have yours, you have to admit that their tactics and lack of ethics is ridiculous.

Sorry but I'll absolutely disagree with you on this.. China's going to invade Taiwan lol, they're building military bases in the South China sea? It's not even theirs.

Get real.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlhxr:
I do not agree with you, but I will keep the forum clean, not arguing back. Let's keep our own opinions and we will see.

[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AkayamiShurui:
Do you have a recommendation for a good performance phone?
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Tbh what more do you need than an 8 gen 1? Sure there's more performance but the experience is the same, only the most demanding games may see some benefit, that'll be in emulation like the switch or vita, which is mostly down to drivers and optimization.

For me the 8+ gen 1 is a sweet spot ATM so the nothing 2 which is out next month would be my choice, all the OnePlus goodness in a phone that costs £500 what's not to like

Or

the pixel 8 pro, Google is getting a lot right these days.

Or

Maybe the newest Moto 40 ultra, specs are insane.

If you really want gaming at its mobile peak then sure the magic will be good, I'd probably get the latest Asus Rog 6 (I think we're up to six now)

Few things to note is the cameras may be crap on those devices, as gaming is their preference, I know most people say that they don't care about the camera but it's always nice to have and a loss in clarity compared to last gen will leave a bitter taste considering the cost of gaming phones.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AkayamiShurui:
I was debating the Asus 6 as well looks good vs redmaigc and I'm actually currently having a problem with the repair center for OnePlus but from my understanding the red magic is a way better than others phones and it's equal price to the OnePlus 11 799
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
It's your call mate, benchmarks are nice to be atop of.

I'd check some reviews personally, also when is their new device out?

What is it's major weak points? Compare it with your competitors and judge it based on that... Just be careful you don't sacrifice normal day to day stuff Vs what you'd like to have....these fringe companies like red magic have some short comings like the camera, I'd imagine there will be more problems, seek them out and weigh up if it's worth it or not Vs the raw power you'll be getting.

OnePlus may let me trade my phone in + 270 to get the OnePlus 11.. so it's a really hard pick I'm watching a whole bunch of reviews for the phones good and bad reviews and then topic some gaming thermodynamics and battery life
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
As a phone it's probably excellent, as is the 10 pro.. but for custom ROMs no it is not.

For me that's a deal breaker.
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AkayamiShurui:
So what's the best phone for custom roms
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
At this point

Pixel series

Nothing series.

May be some others but they're the big hitters
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AkayamiShurui:
One plus and end up giving me a deal for trade-in value because of the whole issue I had with them replacing my motherboard when there was no physical damage but then I was told the reason they had to do that is they don't have access to the edl tool but they still gave me $100 off plus 17% of the total value that they will refund me after I do the trade in
[OnePlus 8 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] AkayamiShurui:

I am interested in possibly replacing my BlueAnt Z9 headset.

If money was no object, what do you think is the very best bluetooth headset available, similar in size (or smaller) to the BlueAnt Z9/Z9i/V1 and Jawbone 2 headsets?
[General Accessories] MCanuck:
I've been thinking about getting the Z9i.

May I ask why you want to replace the Z9?
[General Accessories] xxxkahunaxxx:
money no oblect bluetooth

theres a site called bluetruth.com (of which i have no affiliation) but they have sound test clips of all the leading headsets out and in various noisy settings....a,on a busy street, and b, in a car, etc

so u can hear what the headset u want actually sounds like to the caller...

very cool...

and one headset jumped out at me, has a micro boom,,,that can be used in noisy situations if needed, but also works retracted when not needed

looks very high tech but not overboard

i cant afford the 130 or so,

but i believe it was a zivio-joby, or something like that

good luck! hope this helps

A howto on how to mark threads good.

Because I'm pissed by threads with titles, that say nothing I've done a tutorial on how to name and mark threads right. I use things done in much forums and my own ideas.

Let's start.

First: How to name a thread good.

You have to use a thread that says much, for example “How to change the bootscreen“ and not “bootscreen“ or “question“ or something like that.

Second: How to mark threads.

Let's take the example from before.

The title “How to change the bootscreen“ could be a tutorial, but also a question. Now it is a question.

We use the [ ] tags for that. In them we write QUE for question. In our example this would be “[QUE] How to change the bootscreen”

You can also use more marks at once.

For example: “[ROM][WM6.1][WWE] Charmer Mobile 6.1”

Now a list of useable forms in the [ ]:

TUT = tutorial

ROM = ROM

WM5 = WindowsMobile5 ROM

WM6 = WindowsMobile6 ROM

WM6.1 = WindowsMobile6.1 ROM

QUE = Question

APP = Application

IDE = Idea

REQ = Request

REF = Reference

THE = Theme

MOD = Moderation

DIS = Discontinued

Lang codes:

WWE = World Wide Edition

ENG = English

GER = German

And so on.

When I've forgotten some please post and I'll add to main thread.

Please make this sticky Vlodeck. Thank you.
[MDA Compact II General] Nokia 3650:
I too, second the notion of making this thread a sticky.

Has anyone had an issue with it over heating? Seems like if I play say 3 or so matches in Call of Duty it over heats, had some lock ups and crashes when it's gotten warm as well.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] onyxcode:
I use all the max settings on Call of Duty, I do know what you mean about it being a bit warm, but I don't mind. Recently though, it keeps booting me out whenever I join a match. It takes about 30 seconds but it just closes.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] alarmdude9:
I haven't had an issue with it dropping out of matches. It could be your network, I had a duraforce on verizon once that would do that. The heat related things <i have seen when it is warm above say 85F. Just one of those things to mention so everyone can watch it. Like you getting booted from cod we need to watch things like that as well.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

Network reset.

Clear sim card tool kit data.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] onyxcode:
By dropping out I meant the app fully crashed.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] blackhawk:
Try clearing it's cache.

Check to see it has all the permissions it needs.

Did you disable something it is a dependency to?

It likely needs Google play Services (clear data) and Playstore to be active. If updating related system apps didn't help, try going back to their factory load versions.

Try unistalling and reloading it.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] alarmdude9:
Ok that is similar to some of what happens to me. Is your phone in a case? It seems like on mine at least it gets super hot under the camera on both the back and screen side. I would assume that is where the radio is and I play on cell.....
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] blackhawk:
Don't game or have this phone.

Just giving you general troubleshooting steps.

Look at a tear down to see what chipset or heatsink is there.

A poor signal connection, bad sim card, misconfigured Mobile Access Points... it could a lot of things or maybe it's just that game that's not running right.

Try it on a good wifi network maybe, see what it does.

Fortunately it's not a critical app... although it may seem so now.

Note, you can hold it in a damp microfiber cloth to cool it down especially if the relative humidity is low. Phones is cases will run warmer but ones without cases tend to die sooner.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] onyxcode:
Yes I have a clear hard plastic case. I'm it gets hot there because the SoC is in that spot?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] onyxcode:
I've done all those steps. I'll just wait for an update, that usually fixes everything.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] alarmdude9:
Yeah I've done the general cleaning everything up, even deleted everything and it still does it. More of a post to say watch out this could happen. Played it on wifi and same thing. <It's not a critical app I agree however it is one that stresses various functions of the phone which later could affect critical apps.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] onyxcode:
Maybe Gaming Mode kicks something into overdrive that it shouldn't? Maybe when we get our first patch update we'll get a fix.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] alarmdude9:
Very possible we could. I am more curious what the smart people will find when we get them unlocked and they start poking at them....
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] stogie5150:
My N200 is overheating in the south Louisiana summer...I am far from a gamer and yesterday it was annoying me to cool it off. Yes, I know, N200, the heat index was 117 yesterday. I get it, its hot. Put it in front of the car's AC vent to cool it down.

And now, the battery wont charge to 100 percent.

After years with Samsung and Moto, and Apple, I decided to give One Plus a try. Should have stayed with Samsung.

Meh, least it was free. YMMV
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] alarmdude9:
Yeah same here in South Carolina. When mine got to the point of over heating and wouldn't charge back to 100 I turned it off, stuck it in the freezer for a couple of hours then plugged it in. Said something about doing an optimized charge and now it charges back to 100.
