I know about the bootloop issue. I will meet that guy in person.

I would tell you to get a Pixel 1, but given your history I say stick to the 5X.
The 5X is covered under warranty until October due to the bootloop issue.

Replacing plastic

Hey guys,
I bought a S2 damaged from several falls. I want to replace the plastic myself. The screen itself is fine and so is the battery cover but I would need to replace the plastic around the loudspeaker and the silver rim, which is badly damaged.
Is it possible to replace this yourself? If so could someone link me to a reliable site to buy the replacements. I live in Slovenia (Part of EU) so shipping shouldn't be a problem.
Also any tips wouldn't hurt!
Thanks!
You should know by now that shipping is always a problem here even if we are in the EU because some people still don't consider us as a first world country so they simply don't send stuff to us.
To answer your question... Did you check Amazon and Ebay? You can also find a service manual if you search for it. It was posted here once or twice.

Exactly wht came to my mind
Why does that matter? It's obvious he got it at a a much more decent price than he would a new one. Be sure to check on your warranty before disassembling the device. Odds are you'd lose it. Perhaps you could try and get it repaired by an authorised person, for all we know, it could be at a modest price too.

[Q] Broken Glass and LCD

Hi Friends,
Sorry for my badly English.
After a subtle and unfortunate fall, my Nexus Galaxy had its screen broken.
My unit was purchased in the U.S., however I do not have the invoice. And I live in Brazil.
Does Samsung provide warranty support?
I'm scared because the fall was simple, from a height of 1 meter. Do not believe the product is so fragile.
Thanks for attention friends,

Thanks for the reference. The ad claims to be original, but teho fear of aftershocks, what do you think?
I think that is real.. the galaxy nexus is a relative new phone so the aftermarket parts wont be avaliable for a while

Broken display. Help needed.

Hi. few days back my galaxy nexus fell on the concrete floor first display and the screen got broken. i guess the galaxy nexus screen is not well protected as this was the first time it fell and broke. So you better use a casing.
Anyway.. the problem is, i went to the shop to get it repaired but they don't have the display of Galaxy nexus. I live in Bangladesh (South East Asia) and apparently not enough Galaxy Nexus has made it here. So what do i do? I love my nexus way too much to buy a new phone and it has not been a year since i am using it.
What i was thinking is that, many of you might have a nexus which is not working, probably a bad mother-board, with perfect display. Some of you might have a spare nexus which you are not even using. So will it be possible for you to ship it here? I just need the display so that i can repair it .i could have bought it from ebay, but ebay is not yet available in our country. I know it is a lot to ask, but i am ready to pay every penny. If any of you want or can help me, please write here, i will send all my details.
Thanks a lot. I will be really grateful

Ebay does not provide their service in Bangladesh. Otherwise i would have done that.

I broke oneplus 3 touch screen

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.
Thread cleaned:
Please do not post ways to fraud companies. This is not only wrong but its not allowed to be posted here.
Thanks

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?
