Is this one plus for real?!

Hey guys,
I'm about to buy a one plus 3 from a guy which is selling it extremely cheap and I would like to ask you guys, in what ways I could check if the device is real and not just a replica and also if It's not stolen. I will meet with the guy today so I would appreciate everything you tell me test on the device before making the purchase. I already asked him for the picture of the invoice.. now I'm waiting for his reply.
BTW this is the picture he sent me of the device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thank you :good:

when you meet, ask to plug it in to a outlet, if it dashcharges, its real.
or
open bootloader by turning off phone and press volume up+power, it should be named someting ms8996 or something like that.
Whats the price?

I saw you comment and first off I'd like to say its already a chinese branded phone and very modest company, not your usual suspects for making "Phoney." (pun intended) Also I do not own the phone yet, but since you're cautious I'll still help you out.
When I buy phones from untrusted/unknown parties I always meet them in very open public places and look them in the eye when they're talking, looking for signs of anxiety or hesitation.
Now onto the phone itself:
pop the sim tray out make sure there are 2 slots (real oneplus 3 has 2 slots). okay
Go to settings> about phone check the imei with this: https://swappa.com/esn (its free and trusted site)
pop one of my sim cards in and make a phone call. go back to settings> about phone and check the baseband, model number, build number etc. and make sure they are correct/up to date.
go to the camera (usually the stock app) and I test photos and videos.
turn on bluetooth and make sure it searches for my headset which i have on at the time.
Open a web browser and see how fast the app opens and open multiple tabs and different websites in each.
For a phone like this I would feel the quality of the build because most knock-offs just don't feel like "real"
and LAST but not LEAST go to settings> security and check the fingerprint sensor, (how fast it esponds, if it responds at all, nothing is for sure but chances are very slim that a knock-off company is putting a high quality fingerprint system in a knock-off phone. I do all of this while talking to him/her about how the yankees are really sucking this year, and telling them my fantasy football team is better than theirs by a long shot.
I sure hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

Check the Android version. If it says Nougat, then it is obviously a fake one.

Thank you! Isn't there an app that can check if the phone is real? Like all the internals and camera module? I heard there's one with the name similar to AIDA..
Also, could anyone post the latest settings page where I can see the latest build/baseband and so on, please?
Thank you all

he's selling for 150 euros. The charger looks like he bought it in the UK (UK plug)

That's suspicious, I would never buy this.
Water damage isn't visible from the outside but you could be screwed later on.

What if I do every test mentioned above? As a sound test?
If everything works well, it shouldn't be a problem.. it's even seen the original screen protector..

You could easily get 300 euro for OP3 so for me the real question is (and it should be your question as well) Why would the seller throw away 150 euro? Why would anybody do that? Nobody would unless something is wrong.

Looks real. Exactly like mine did whwn I got it. But what's to say that's what you will receive. Especially at half price.
Buy using a reputed site and pay using a known payment method.
That way if you do get cheated will have some way to get your money back.

Isnt that fingerprint Sensor/ home button too thick and too small from left to right?

Yeah it actually does look a little weird. Not the same compared to mine. Mines shorter from top to bottom and longer left to right.

It looks real, it still has the screen protector on it too, have him take a pic of the back and get the imei and look it up, it seems legit, maybe he won it and is just selling it cheap, just make sure it powers on and no other issues

If you can get internet... Download the Geekbench 3 from playstore and run a test and you should get around 2250+ singlecore score and 5400+ multicore score (If you can only download geekbench 4 then score is around 1700 for single and 4000 multicore)

That's not a UK plug, looks US to me which means it's running different bands than the EU model. Check it'll work on your network

UMI Z - Owner experiences

I got my new UMI Z yesterday and it is great. I want to collect some information for other, and I am also interested in your experiences:
solved:
- compass has had to be calibrated - there was no function (I used GPS status & Toolbox)
- Firefox crashes everytime immediately after start - solution found on cnx-solution (have to move it to internal memory & reboot)
- root is done - You need this files and read the thread:
SU.zip (2.79 for UMI)
modified TWRP - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70723565&postcount=135
flash tool & USB Mouse!!!
[/LIST]​- files are available in XDA-forum - Thanks to the guys!
pending:
- found a funny issue - in some games there is a mistake with the touchscreen. You need one touch more to work. That means if you want to scroll, click (hold 1 finger and second moves, clicks), zoom (3 fingers).
Does anybody knows such a behavior or have a workaround? It is only present in some games. I'm going to tell it to UMI and wait for an answer.

Also when I've consulted the tracking number in the page that they've told me, the results are not there. Should I be concerned oraybe is because the Chinese's New year holiday?

First Impressions
First impressions, it's not a bad base starter phone. There are quite a few flaws which frustrate me, but we'll see how long I can handle it for.
First the camera isn't all it's hyped up to be. the colors are over saturated and the picture have a horrible beauty mode to them, (even when it's off).
Secondly, many programs don't work well with it.
Tasker - is a hit or miss, some profiles work, some don't some toggle randomly
Kinomaster - Can't do video transition with this phone. You'd think with 10 cores it'd be able to process it [Fixed after 2.13 update]
VR - The sensor settings are all messed up, they are inverted and not very responsive. I've read that you have to go into configuration mode to reset the sensors but that didn't work.[Fixed after 2.13 update]
Almost impossible to find a case for it, and since it's Chinese New Year right now, nothing is open.
The Wifi and Bluetooth randomly shut off, but this is because of the power profile, so you have to make a new one so that you don't get frustrated.
Screen is alright, but it doesn't have that true black then it is in a sleep type mode
The tool that you are supposed to use to transfer files and data to and from the phone is not even on the site (Rootjoy). it was removed from mediafire due to it being a infected with a virus or something and there is no where else to find it. [Had to download the firmware from Mega an then use SPF Tool]
It appears like they improved the camera but will test this out soon.
Announced that there will be no nougat until at least summer.
I mean there are some nice features, like the dual sim or sim/sd card. It has been able to stay connected in places that I wasn't able to be in before, and the USB-C is nice. We'll see if they come out with a Nougat for it, and sort out the Rootjoy program, and the sensors, but we'll see how long before i may have to sell it.
**UPDATE**
So after realizing that I couldn't OTA update my firmware after the last update, I manually upgraded the firmware to the Feb 13 release. And to my happiness, of course it did a complete reflash, so my stuff was deleted. Luckily I had stuff on my SD But still.

Got mine on the 26th. Got to say, it feels a bit unfinished and slightly rushed. The camera is terrible. The 4k recording is like its recording a tv with analogue video with low reception... except the analogue video is what you are trying to shoot.
The x and y axes on the gyros are opposite. How could this be missed in testing phase.
Rootjoy(pc companion) is found no where. I was lucky enough to find one (though I was actually looking fora way to root the phone)
Also the companion program has a misleading name.
Fingerprint sensor is a hit or miss.
quick charge isn't that quick (takes 2 hours)
But..
Feels good in hand
android 7 is comming hopefully there will be fixes for these issues.
quick charge
Has reed charging/data cable
good internals
ok speakers

Hi fireyer,
How did you root the phone? I haven't found any TWRP recovery ROM which was me for the UMI Z. Would be great if you can add the links. Thank you.
Regards,
PyroX

to every one who now have the phone
please go here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/umi-z/how-to/sample-photos-t3542343
and post some photos
any photo in day light and at night and in room
lets show us the quality of camera

To me it seems that the hardware of Umi Z is quit similar to the hardware of Umi Plus and Plus E.
It might be worth to try to root Umi Z with the same tools and TWRP as used for Umi Super: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/guide-root-twrp-umi-plus-t3494418
I'm waiting for my Umi Z i ordered last week, but due to Chinese New Year it is not shipped yet.

Got the phone yesterday. Immediately got an OS update. The only big disappointment so far is the fingerprint sensor. Several tries to unlock the phone are usually needed.
EDIT: Ringtone can't be changed. Still default ringtone no matter what you do in the settings. Stupid.
EDIT 2:In the end I was able to change the ringtone to a cutom one, but it is lame and annoying. You can't just pick the ringtone using a file manager. The system displays the correct name of the ringtone, but plays the default one unless you pick it via the system default apps.
EDIT 3:Video has 3gp format. 4K video cannot be uploaded to YouTube (unsupported format error).
Posted a sample 1080p video in this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/umi-z/how-to/sample-photos-t3542343

The only issue I have is that video playback is not working correctly. Image stucks and sound keeps pausing and playining. This happens in every app like facebook, twitter or youtube

i'm using my umi z for almost a week now and i definitly could work better.
the fingerprint sensor works okay. sometimes it takes two or three times before it unlocks.
the camera quality is not as good as expected, but fine for me.
i also noticed the problem with the ringtone.. it just can't be changed. Such bugs shouldn't be.
Yesterday is had to realize i couldn't start two apps( Kingdom Rush Origins, zen pinball). They just crashed instantly. And when using google play music the "small window" app constantly crashes when switching to another song and brings you back to the lockscreen. clearing cache and reinstalling play music didn't help. Beside that all other apps seme to work.
i'm still waiting for some decent cases to be released.
the charger delivered with the phone is complete crap. while sleeping (about 8 hours) it hadn't even loaded 70%. i then measured an output of 0.06A at 5V.
so in conclusion, the umi z got quiet a few bugs and problemes. i hope the software probleme a going to be fixed with an update from umi itself or by a custom rom.
Edit:
It just happend that i got no sound. Needed to restart the phone. Could have happend when pulling out the headphones

Hi Johnny,
If you have trouble starting some apps please try moving them to the local storage instead of SD card. Then reboot the phone. Then the app should work. I had the issue with some apps too.
Good luck,

UmiOfficial Hi, nougat
Unfortunately MediaTek still has not issued the Nougat SDK for the P20 and X27 SoCs, so in the worst case we can expect those update this summer only.

Thanks for the advice, luckily saw you reply in time else I would have to soft brick my watch till the pogo pin arrive ...:laugh:
For now I'm holding back the downgrade and see what Samsung new update offer

Watch Galaxy Store lists only free watchfaces as well as programs. How to buy?

Friends,
I bought an SM-R800 46mm BT and since the first time, I have never even been able to see applications and or watch faces that are not for free. No content that is not free is active for me. He doesn't even show up. There are plenty of watch faces I would like to buy but can't. I like the watch faces of MATTEO DINI, SPLUGEN, SWF and BERGEN.
I did the procedure of moving the CSC region to XAR (USA) and what changed was that I was able to enable Samsung Pay only. I saw that there also has the option ZTO. If I change again will I succeed? It is paired with a Xiaomi Mi9 with all updated programs. Do I need a Samsung phone paired with it to buy content?
Help me. I can't get any answers even at Samsung.

Hi,
I reset again... change to ZTO and...... nothing. Please help-me

AFAIK if you don't have a Samsung phone, you only can pay via credit card. And it seems that if you have an IPhone, there is no way to pay...

You can pay with Paypal also, but I think OP's problem might be related to country of origin limitations.

Paypal only if you have a Samsung phone.

Suppliers don't carry Pixel C battery replacements anymore???

Ive been searching everywhere on the net for a battery replacement and nothing has come up. My pixel C screen was lifting so I removed the screen to find the battery corroding and expanding. The battery must be replaced but I think there are none available anymore. This could be the end for the Pixel C and its too bad. These tablets are still ahead of 90% of all tablets tested by 3dMark. This is still a very viable tablet and without replacement batteries available, its not a good sign.

Im still looking for a replacement battery for the Google Pixel C. There seems to be none left in the world.

Has anyone found a place to buy batteries for the Google Pixel C ? Please PM me.

The guys here https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/nexus-7-2013-qa/replacement-battery-t3405361 had some interesting ideas about replacement batteries for the nexus 7. Obviously a bit of legwork will be required to get something workable for the C but it shouldn't be insurmountable.
So what are the actual dimensions of the battery components on the pixel c?

Seems available here:

Well, hey, on this battery search, let us know if you find any screens!

From a thread on ifixit..
Regarding replacement batteries, you will find that OEM replacement-anythings are not produced or sold for any devices anymore, since the cost to employ repair technicians is now greater than the cost of producing a new device everywhere in the world. As a consequence, all replacement parts sold are stripped from existing devices. Because of this fact, the longer a device has been out of production, the less likely the possibility that you will find any wear and tear items in as-new condition. For screens, you will increasingly only find replacements that were polished to have scratches removed — along with the Gorilla coating (making them much more likely to collect grime and crack). For the Nexus 9, you will realistically not find a replacement battery with more, or even the same remaining capacity, vs the one you’re replacing. Again, keep in mind: we’re talking probabilities, not absolutes. Your friend may get a good part from a place one day and you won’t, the next day (or vice versa).

I'm looking at a way to remove the battery totally from the C and power it by an external power bank or the charger. The nexus 7 users came up with a mod to accomplish this to use the device powered by a car. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N2Bh4fI8Bo. Nexus 9, which has a similar setup to the C(dual batteries) has a thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/nexus-9-battery-mod-t3798212
I plan on doing something similar for the C but won't be able to get it done for a number of months due to circumstances beyond my control. Also, I'm not severely hindered as when my first C battery became swollen, Google sent me a refurbished replacement. Well, actually Google screwed up and sent me two replacements(same tracking number, 2 different packages), and only one of them currently has a swollen battery...
If anyone is desperate, and maybe a bit less electronically challenged than I am, they can have a go at this, otherwise we can wait till later and I'll give it a shot.

This is the only one I could find that looked legit. Seems like new cells too!

I just purchased one and will attempt surgery/installation after it arrives.
Fingers crossed....
