My 3 and my 7 pro have both survived everything short of me directly playing it in explosives, my iphone 6 broke from the heat it was producing on its own when not even under load. Literally cracked the front and back.

But with the rising costs of 1+ I'm gonna be looking for a new brand after this one bites the dust. The allure was high end phones at mid-tier prices. They don't have that anymore.

That is my true complaint with OnePlus. They went from flagship killer to full price flagship. The 7 pro will likely be my last because of this. I mean I'd rather a OnePlus to a Samsung for a variety of reasons.... But I'd much prefer finding a new flagship killer to paying a thousand dollars for a phone.

I have a One Plus and it's the best phone I've ever had. I've had many Samsung flagship phones, they were good phones, but nothing like this one. The build quality is better, the screen is very bright and it works flawlessly. They are a great company and support their products. I'm a big fan.

Oh, and did I say mine cost more than half of the price of a flagship phone from any maker.

Sounds like basically the same issue with MMS messages not working (MMS is the protocol for sending pictures in messages but they also use it for doing group messages). Solution for me was to download "Messages by Google" in the Play Store and use that as my messaging app instead - drop-in replacement and it worked.

Yo!! I think I'm dealing with exactly this right now! My messages app is insanely slow and laggy to the point where opening a conversation can take 20 seconds and there are times the things I'm typing don't show up. It also takes ages for a message to send and lord help me if I'm receiving one at the same time. If this was similar to what you went through, how did you end up fixing it? Please. It's making me feel like my phone is unusable

My op7 just got upgraded to Android 12 and is running more smoothly than newer phones. The screen quality is noticeably aging in comparison to new phones. I wish I'd gotten the pro at the time. It was like a 40 dollar difference. But it's a great phone that runs a very clean stock android with a few op touches.

I was absolutely in love with my 6T. Unfortunately, I recently went back to iPhone - partially for missing out on family shared albums etc…

the other was the wi-fi calling support with ATT. I was able to unlock the setting thru the dev settings - but AT&T eventually cut it. And my house has really poor service and it became very frustrating. I had option of signal amplifier - but decided against it. I pay for my parents Cell phones and changing providers had limited options and wasn’t worth the reward.

TLDR; are OnePlus phones ever going to be supported by ATT? It’s BS the rules they put in play
