The end of my OPO saga: (Go back a page or 2 to see what happened)

So after over 6 weeks from when my OPO hardbricked from a standard CM upgrade, I finally got my replacement phone.

After a string of 30+ emails, waiting to schedule a remote tech session, dealing with unclear return shipping instructions, and more delays and hoops after it was sent back, I have a new phone.

This is the biggest problem with Oneplus. Most other phones you can just walk into any carrier store or repair shop and they can help, Apple of course being the best for that. Granted, the communication with the RMA department was friendly and prompt, but useless. Every time someone new answered, and had more BS "procedures" for me to try.
If I could have had a remote tech session sooner, it would have been less painful, but when I went to book one, the schedule was booked up as far in advance as allowed. By some miracle I got an appointment. The guy was knowledgeable, but explained how busy he is as there are only a handful of these "level 2 techs" at the company.

Like most people I'm sure, a working smartphone is vital. Waiting 6 weeks for a replacement phone (when a 7 month old phone shouldn't breakdown to begin with), is unacceptable.

But, you get what you pay for. For this reason, I won't be going back to Oneplus. I need to be able to take the phone somewhere locally; it's a dealbreaker. And an expensive, stressful mistake. But, I suppose that isn't as much a priority for some people.

On that note, I do have a brand new, in box, Sandstone 64GB for sale. PM if interested *EDIT: SOLD

CM12S has been good for me, but I noticed a steady decline in battery performance, so I started digging around for ROMs, etc.

Installed Sultan 12.1, and it's been pretty damn good.

Will report back after a few days, but so far so good.

I've been using the latest stock ROM for a month now. Works perfectly fine although I've had the dialer crash twice now, so I have to reboot.

Yeah I didn't really have issues with it, but battery was noticeably worse than CM11.

Phone has been off charger since 6:30am, and I'm at 78% remaining lol.

So my touchscreen froze last night. Never happened before. Was just wondering if it's a one off thing, or will it become constant? Read on the OPO forums that it becomes worse. Anyone here experience that?

Are you sure it's the screen, and not just the phone freezing up?

it is tied to my account, i just took another look at the email

Edit: I'll probably end up ordering it tonight, and if I dont like it, i'll probably sell it for cost here. I'll most likely pick up the USB-C adapter, power bank, screen protectors and maybe the bamboo wrap.

The opo forum is having a fit over the grounding problem with the finger print reader/home button. If you use your other hand that is not holding the phone to press the home key, it will not respond unless you tap it multiple times. This is all thanks to the metal strip around the phone.

However, it isn't a problem if you use a case LOL

Feels like the ol' iPhone "you're holding it wrong" incident.

Thanks for the screenshot, heisenberg.

I wonder if theres a duty fee we need to pay when the package arrives, if shipped to Canada (for convenience).

And is the shipping for just the phone less than $40.99 or is that a flat-rate.

thanks for the screenshots.

also buying from china, no invites required, is the china version. LTE wont work over here if you try to use it or something like that (diff bands etc, can't recall specifics but its different than the Global version which requires invites).

YMMV for that, I've read of people have to pay when they brought it over from PR/Blaine and also people who were waved through.
