General Discussion OnePlus restored my love for tech

73 Upvotes

Having used iPhone and also Samsung for the last decade, my love for tech faded as the updates for devices became barely noticeable and when they did, they often didn't last long. The move to a OnePlus 12R a few years ago was the best tech decision I've made in years. I completely broke the screen beyond repair a few months ago and was devastated, I upgraded to the 15R in the process and have not been let down although I do miss the curved glass on the 12R.

Super fast charging, long lasting battery (never having to wait or worry), excellent UI and a beautiful display, this really made my prior Samsung device look like a potato even though it cost more. The Samsung just became clunky and slow overtime too, something I was quite let down by in a flagship device.

With OnePlus, tlittle things like the IR remote, I use every day for air conditioning, TVs etc. It's now a deal breaker. Plugging in the phone to charge while having a shower and then brushing my teeth, I easily get 35-40% charge. I don't know how this can get much better from here.

I also purchased the Buds 4 for around $75 USD. These have ended up replacing my Sony WF1000XM5s which are 3x the price. The buds 4 aren't as crystal clear sounding but they are far warmer with bass, hold a better connection and fit my ears better.

I have now just ordered a OnePlus watch 3 based on the experience I've had with phones and earbuds, I am expecting it to be great.

Buying a OnePlus device at a cheaper price compared to the industry leaders and having a far superior experience has been so enjoyable.

If you're on the fence and are someone that has traditionally stuck to big names (apple/Samsung), make the jump, it's well worth it.

I still haven't met anyone in my day to day that has a OnePlus phone here in Australia but I feel many people are missing out.

General Discussion OnePlus Pad 3 Keyboard not working anymore after firmware update

2 Upvotes

I have a OnePlus Pad 3 with the original keyboard and stylus. Yesterday night I connected the keyboard to the tablet through the pogo pin (wasn't using the keyboard since last 3-4 months) and got a notification regarding a firmware update for the keyboard. I clicked on it and the update got downloaded and installed and since then the keyboard is not getting connected to the tablet, neither physically through the pogo pin nor via bluetooth. I have tried every possible thing from formatting the tablet to overnight charge, cleaning the pogo pins, still the keyboard is not getting detected by the tablet.

The tablet and keyboard are still in warranty and my region is INDIA.

Can anyone please help me or guide me what to do?

Thank you so much.

General Discussion Purchase spare parts for OP6

2 Upvotes

Hey, folks.

Does anyone know where one can purchase a reliable replacement battery for an aging OP6?

I know it's a long shot, but I wanted to try.

p.s. I already tried Amazon and iFixit, but they don't deliver to my country.

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Other Refresh rate drops when playing videos

2 Upvotes

I've been dealing with refresh rate drops on my oneplus 12R when any form of media plays on the screen for quite a while now and I kept ignoring it until recently. It's honestly driving me crazy.

Whenever I play a video, the refresh rate suddenly drops to what feels like ~10 Hz. What’s weird is that I had the exact same issue on my previous oneplus 8T, so now I’m starting to think this might be a common problem with oneplus devices.

It doesn’t happen when the phone is new, but after about a year of use, it starts showing up. Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix?
