Hi everyone.
My brother just updated his OnePlus 7T to a brand new OnePlus 9, so I "inherited" his 7T. The screen is cracked, but it still works, and the back cover is totally cracked too. I just searched in OnePlus and the repair will be around 200-250€. Is it still worth? Or should I just try to buy a new one?
Thanks in advance. I really like this smartphone, but I'm not sure about spending that amount of money in an almost 2 year old phone...
PS: I have been using a OnePlus 5T for the last three years and it's still performing well, but I was thinking about buying a new smartphone because the battery of my 5T is dying.

Nope, next will be the battery.
Put a case on it to hide the back and tempered glass to cover the front crack and good to go
I moved from a oneplus 3T to a 7T three months back and spent about as much you're paying for the repair of the phone. Maybe a little more than that but the jump was astounding. The screen, speakers, cameras all make it worth the upgrade. Although in your case I can see the cost is mostly for repairs than the phone itself. I would personally recommend you go for it and despite the behavior of oneplus not promising updates on time. The usability is far superior than any previous phone I've owned
There may be additional internal damage.
Always keep these phones in a good case...
I second @HueyT
Of the phone still works out a good cover on the back and a glass or sapphire screen protector on the front and use it until you can afford what you want or until it dies.
Thanks everyone for the replies! Finally, I think I'll repair only the screen. I can buy a back cover from aliexpress for 15€ and put it by myself, and then send it to OnePlus to have a "new" phone for 190€. Looking for other phones, I won't probably find another smartphone like the 7T for that price so...

Hi there,
I am a Oneplus 3 owner from California, USA. a few months ago I dropped my phone and cracked my screen.
Using videos on YouTube I repaired the screen and was using my Oneplus 3 for the past 2 months just fine.
Yesterday I dropped my phone and the screen is fine, but I got purple spots all over the screen to the point where it is no longer usable.
Oneplus has offered to fix my phone for about $100. I find that very fair, but since I've already paid $150 to do that myself the first time I am not looking at sinking $250 into this phone. I'd rather get a new Oneplus 3T.
Is anyone interested in my Oneplus 3? I would sell it for $150 if anyone is interested. or I can sell individual parts like the bottom charging port, or the cameras, battery, etc. I would be willing to piece my 3 out if people need parts.
Sorry for the long post - I felt it was necessary to explain and be transparent for those wanting parts/the phone. I will add pictures once I get a new phone.
I have a huge amount of dust under the glass protecting the camera. I reached out to ZTE and they are sending me a replacement device. My concern is that this will keep happening. Anyone else have this issue?

:laugh: I hope you're New phone has Android Pay working also looks like you got a defective unit I had to return mine to Newegg on last Monday do defective screen white lines started showing across the screen last Saturday I will wait until later batch come out to buy again:crying::crying::crying:
Android pay definitely does not work on my phone. I can use Capital One to make NFC with no problems though. If I was within the return period, I would return mine also.

Definitely an isolated issue. My phone is perfectly fine.

Thanks. That's good to hear. I have a replacement coming today and I was concerned I would have the same issue.
I got my replacement device yesterday. Hopefully I won't have this issue again. ZTE customer service was great and got the phone shipped out quick.
I just noticed dust in mine, specifically the lower camera area. If the back of this thing can be removed without breaking anything, it would be pretty easy to get rid of the dust.

how is your replacement phone working I'm thinking about giving it a second try but the other guy below say his v8 pro has dust also sounds like a quality control problem display and cameras should have proper seal from dust.:laugh:
My replacement had the same issue. Dust started to show after about a week of use. They shipped out a third device, but I decided to sell it and take a loss.

The OnePlus 3T is an awesome device. You will not regret that purchase. Or possibly wait for the OnePlus 5.
I was looking into buying this phone. Has anyone else encountered the issue of dust under the lens? Also if so, where did you purchase it from?

Yes, but only on the bottom lens, and I bought mine from Amazon.com
I bought the oneplus 3 the day it launched. It hasn't cracked or so but the display seems to be coming out of the body. Should I fix that and at the same time get a new battery or should i get a new phone?
I bought mine also the day it launched. Couple weeks ago i cracked my Display so i decided to replace it, the battery and backcover as well. I paid around 150$ for everything.
But in the last days i think about to buy the 6T. Personally i think you notice that the phone isnt working as smooth and fast as it was at the beginning. Hard decision cause i love the 3.
It is better to go for a new phone if you can afford it. The main reason for this recommendation is that many persons who replaced the screen faced issues. If in doubt, search here in XDA.
yeah i had some issues too, because at first i bought a cheap china display on ebay, the change was easy, nothing too difficult but i can recommend you replacebase for parts. Dont buy the cheap stuff.
So about a month ago I was sitting in class with a group of my kids when one of them came over with his computer went to show me his screen knocked my stainless steel tumbler onto the corner of my screen and broke it. Principal said that sucks but wasn't interested in getting the kids parents involved was hoping replace the screen. I'm seeing a range of 200 to $220 for replacing the screen. I didn't see putting that much money into a year old phone and succumbs to the pressure of getting the OnePlus 6t. Should I sell the phone as it is, fix the screen and sell it? After watching my brother sale three different times replacing his s8 screen I don't think I want to try it myself. I am liking this 6t A LOT, the camera is a huge step down

I would sell as is and get a cheap phone to hold me down until the Pixel 4 XL.
Or you you could always install the Pixel 3 camera on the 6T and get improved results.

You can sell it for about $200-$230 depending on storage as is on Ebay and it will probably sell quick assuming the back didn't get dinged too. If you put $200 into a screen it'll sell for about $440 and you still make about the same amount profit after all is said and done. Save yourself the headache and put it on eBay as is.

I had my screen replaced 2 weeks ago - I dropped the phone on solid tiles when I came home at 5AM and wasn't exactly sober :silly:
Here in Germany the screen cost €180 and the total bill for the repair was €250.
My Pixel 2 XL still has 2 years or more life expectancy, so I think it was worth the cost. I wouldn't want to go back to a non-Google device, not even a OnePlus.
Update. I've been on the Op6t since mine was broken, right around launch . I came back to my broken pixel to try Android q, it just feels like home again. Part of me wants to sell the op and fix the screen..
I would like to buy a Note 10 plus. Thought about buy a new tmobile variant on ebay off a seller that has 2k sales but have read you may get screwed as they may get locked out if reported stolen. Would it be possible to buy the Unlock variant and flash tmobil firmware on it? Been looking at some threads, it looks like it's possible but I dont know enough to be 100% and maybe someone can tell me. Maybe I'll buy a Amazon Renewed one and flash it if possible otherwise my only other option would be to spend 700 on Ebay and hope it's not a return or some other open box form.
Don't understand your problem...you want an unused/new phone from ebay?
I bought recently 2 note 10+ from ebay and both arrived safely and are working fine. Both came with their box and are about 1 year old. The 1st one is a black one and has some light screen burn on the lower part of the display only visible when watching a light image or video. Except for that it has good battery life and is cosmetically in very good condition.
The 2nd one I bought very cheap, came with both the display and rear glass cracked but in good working order. I replaced the display including the frame and rear glass. The display came with a new OEM battery. Its now a converted aura glow into a white one. Except for its main board, camera's etc its a new phone.
I bought the new display for the first one but then decided that the screen burn was not enough to replace that good working screen, I hardly notice it so the idea came to buy a damaged one and repair that one...Have not decided which one I keep. Maybe the misses will give up her note 9 and take one of the note 10's.
When buying of ebay look at the pictures, ask for a invoice and see how the seller replies to your questions. I bought many phones, computer, watches etc, all high dollar items and have never been disappointed. If its to good to be true walk away, nobody will give you presents in this society!
