Thread title says it all.
A lot of people buying retail are having issues and if I knew the Google ones were a better batch I'd order direct but do NOT want to get another bad unit without the luxury of exchanging in store.
Thanks.

Bought mine from Staples in Phoenix, AZ and haven't had any of the issues or problems that others are reporting. Don't think anyone retailer will be any better than another. Best advice if you're worried is make sure to check the retailers return policy. Staples has a no questions asked return policy for 14 days as long as you return it with the receipt and original packaging. Buy stuff from them all the time and return items and as long as you've got the receipt never had an issue.

This is probably not the right place to post, I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to, but time is of the essence, so here we go!
I've had a G3 since release, and a week ago, while out with some friends, an idiot tipped a 20liter amount of water over me while I was holding my phone. Phone? Now dead...
I contacted my insurance, and I've just got the money transfered to my acount. Now, I run a bar, I'm a part-time worker at an electronic store, AND I study Multimediatechnology and Design. This is were the begging starts....
As a MMTD student I have "Java" and "Android Development" as some of my classes. I'd love to have a Oneplus One as my dev-device!
So, does anyone out there have an invite to spare, for a student in desperate need for a new phone, hopefully the Oneplus One?

Don't need an invite for OPO - use Aliexpress - yes it's safe, plenty of people in the OPO subforum on XDA have ordered and I myself have ordered one.
EDIT::
One of the reputable sellers, also the place I ordered mine

I've been thinking about it... BUT...
From what I can see, the original ones come with the CM logo on the back? The one you linked to, doesn't have any logo on the back, so does that mean it comes with the dreadful ColorOS? And what about replacement phones and warranty-concerns?

Some of them have ColorOS however it's a simple flash to change to CM11s - regarding warranty or issues.. it's a straight send back and swap from what I have seen so far. People have actually been having worse luck with OPO directly.
Remember China don't need invites, hence them being freely available.
Hmm... Well I think I'm gonna see if I find an invite in the coming week, hopefully I do... I'm just so concerned, in fear of it being a "fake"

No fakes around as it's a Chinese company anyway have a look in the OPO forum here and read people's reviews... They don't tend to pirate their own stuff. Good luck with an invite :good: they all come from the same warehouse anyway lol
Gha, would still like it to be from Oneplus themselves...
for the pricing as well!
So I got my hands on a Bamboo back-cover invite and mistakenly, like an idiot, claimed it to my account. Now, since this is claimed to my OnePlus account, I cant send the invite to someone else, but I dont want this invite to go to waste since alot of people do want the Bamboo cover. I have a wallet case for my OPO so I am still on the fence about changing the back from a Sandstone to Bamboo. Maybe buy it and ship it directly from OP to anyone who wants it as long you are willing to send me the $$ first on PayPal. Trying to see if this is something that will interest someone else, or I may just buy it and use it when I feel. No, this is not a scam. Screenshot of the invite is attached also, a link to my user profile at OP Forums (I am a moderator there so I am verified (https://forums.oneplus.net/members/sam_in_pgh.1783/)
you could probably buy it and sell it for more on ebay

Heh.... I dont care about making it for a profit or dealing with eBay. I would put this in OP's forums but it is against our rules.
I'll do it if it's still available! i wanted one but didn't want to pay over sticker.

Officially from OnePlus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8nF0eHL5cY
Everyone I know is pushing me to buy one but I will think about it till tomorrow. I would think it will be good for resale value right? What do you guys think?
I´m also interested in one haha you should buy it
checkout the OPO's on eBay. there are a bunch that are being sold with the bamboo on there. It's kind of hard to tell what true resale is though because of the hype/invite system. depending on when they axe it / when new phones come out it could drop fast unfortunately. If resale for max profit is your plan I'd get rid of it around feb right before all the new phones are announced.
If you sell it Im interested I would pay by paypal.
gimme!
I would love to buy it from you. let me know if u r interested
Offering 60+ excluding shipping, pm me!

They do that to tease you, if you click add to cart, it will tell you that you need an invite. The cover was one of the big selling points for me, so the idea that they decided people couldn't be trusted to remove the back seems like a kick in the nuts! Especially when they are still allowing people to purchase replacement Sandstone covers. So they don't trust us enough to put on a Bamboo cover, but Sandstone is fine... what gives?
Any help would be much appreciated. Story starts like this. I purchased brand new OP3 before 8 days. Today accidentally my daughter dropped the phone and broke the digitizer(touch screen). It felt from the couch on the tile floor(less than 15 inch height) Now i am stuck with the new phone and broken touch screen.
I did got in touch with the Oneplus customer service yesterday in USA. They have repair facility in Texas. ****ONEPLUS WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT SELL ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS TO THE CUSTOMERS OR DO ANY REPAIRS OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY .SO BEWARE++++
On eBay there is couple of sellers from China that sell digitizer`s(touch screen bundled with display) but aftermarket parts for the phone are not as good as original.
I did not buy extended warranty for the phone when i purchased the phone itself.
Where can i buy original parts? Any help is much appreciated
If that does not work you can contact customer support of one plus. Read the reddit link below

That's why I say you get what you pay for. It is important for people to know that the $400 only gives you what comes in the package. You are on your own once they get your money.

Is it oneplus fault then his daughter breaks his phone? What do you think should they do now, send a new one on warranty?
Let it repair or buy a new one but don't blame oneplus for the mistakes of yourself and your daughter.
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
Well, as far as I understand it's not possible to get it repaired at all, if it's not covered under warranty, which is pretty lame, actually.

Do you even read what he said or you talk off your arses? He cannot find any replacement items anywhere. Buy a whatever other brand device, you will easoly find replacement parts. Oneplus doesn't sell any because they want to force you to buy the extra accidental warranty. He doesn't expect OP to pay for the damage that he caused.

Someone on the OnePlus forums smashed their OP3 as well. OnePlus quoted them around €90 to get it repaired which is extremely reasonable.

Yes my rude friend, unlike you I am able to read and understand also. So read post 1 and 2 and 3 again and then try to understand what you have read.
1.Why should he open a PayPal conflict? He paid and got his device. That's it.
2.Why should One+ sell parts to private persons? There is always the option to send the device to one of their repair center.
3.OP wrote that there are oem parts available on eBay but he don't want to buy one of them.

Can u please tell me where I said he should get a new device if he breaks it, or even get it repaired for free? I am really curious about that. All I said is, that I as far as I understood, there was no way to get it repaired at all.
On a different note: As it was mentioned afterwards, it's apperently possible to get it repaired after all by oneplus. (for a reasonable price). So that's fine with me.
I guess there is a reason they offer 2 year coverage for $80 USD when you check out.

You guys misunderstood the whole story.I want my phone fixed and I want to pay for the new screen that my daughter broke. I want OEM screen,not some aftermarket garbage from china(ebay). When i send out my phone on repair I know the warranty will not apply. This is why i send my phone to them to get an estimate whatever and to approve repair whatever the cost is. But i just got the phone back with the letter from them..bla bla bla. They never offer repair and an estimate for repair.

man that's unlucky, this is why i paid ~100 usd for 2 year accidental coverage (long wait and must send damaged one back) but worth it

If your phone is still under warranty, you can send it back for warranty. Or you can choose to do it yourself. This is not difficult. This is a Oneplus 3 screen replacement video. You can learn to replace your Oneplus 3 screen with the video.

Broken screen due to fall is not covered in warranty unless you have taken the extra accidental repair option and paid for it.
That apart, the OP was asking for places to purchase the original screen, not how to change the screen.
What is the point of digging up an obsolete thread and posting wrong and irrelevant information in it? To increase the number of your posts?
Hi all, dbrand mistakenly sent me the XL version of the Pixel 3 skin and since I have the regular Pixel 3, one of you can have it just by paying $3.50 to cover the shipping cost (includes tracking). This is courtesy of dbrand. Lol I don't recall their XDA username so I can't tag them but you can thank them for the massive discount. First one to respond to this thread and willing to pay for the shipping cost through Venmo gets it. Please do not PM me about it first. I will PM you after you are the first person. Shipping only to the continental US.
