I know how it SHOULD work, but it seems it takes much too much effort to put the US-plug attachment into the charger... I put it on and slide it like 80% of the way and it gets stuck and even with a lot of force it won't go in. I don't want to break my charger, what should I do?
Has anyone else experienced this?
I was a bit worried about the amount of force required myself, but it did connect without breaking anything for me. Just keep pushing!
Had exactly the same problem with my UK plug here and I actually managed to bend the little T shaped part on the damn plug!!! It still wouldn't go in so got a small flat metal file and gently filed the T shape so it made it slightly smaller and then it clipped together. Seems the notch that receives the T shape is a little too small so had to do some DIY lol.

Ok I did and it was violent, but it worked.

I was a bit worried about something breaking, but I had to employ some violence as well. I suspect the attachment may never be removable again.

I think thats how it was made, since the plugs flip up to hide.
Yeah... it took an INSANE amount of force to snap it in.
I, too, was seriously worried of breaking it, but in the end it clicked together... and I'm sure I will never ever take it apart

It is removable, trust me, but you have to push at the point it says 'push' on the plug! I missed this at first and spent a good few minutes of tugging, scared I'd break the thing!

If I push on the plastic between the USB & 3.5mm jack, that portion moves & squeaks. It's very little and so far the only real problem I've had with the phone, but it's driving me crazy. It rarely does it through normal use but now I find myself pushing it all the time. If you push in the same area does your phone do the same thing?
Fortunately, there is no real reason to press there unless you enjoy the squeaking sound.

"Doctor, Doctor, my arm hurts when I do this!"
"Then stop doing that."
Haha yes I see your points. I did mention, however, that I do push it through normal use occasionally. Most of the time I am just doing it as a Pavlovian response.
Just humor me for a moment, do you guys get the same response when pushing?
More of a creaking than a squeaking, but yes. There really doesn't feel like there is much movement though and the phone still feels solid.
Thought i was the only one, noticed it once when i was plugging in my USB, not really a cause for concern
Seems like a common issue, I've had two now and both were like that. First one was a little worse.

Yeah, there's a slight squeak/creek on mine as well just to the left of the USB port.
I don't think this is Nexus S specific, however, because the same creak in nearly the same spot existed on my MT4G. Which makes me wonder if this is by design somehow... then again, the tear down on iFixit doesn't reveal anything of note in that location.
No creaking here, even when I hold it right next to my ear and try to get it to squeak.
I and many others have had issues with this phone and the headphone jack not registering when you plug headphones in. Sometimes it would work if you pushed really hard, but it would always be picky about movement. I was convinced it was a software or hardware problem, but I have found the cause. Pocket lint! especially when wearing jeans lint can get into the jack and block the contacts. Fortunately this is easy to fix. Just take a thin paper clip, or for the nerdier of us an electronic component like a resister, works even better. If you are like me you have a huge pack of them laying around somewhere in your house. bend the very tip (1/16 of an inch or so) with some needle nose pliers, and with bright light carefully get the lint out, I've had to do it a few time now but it always works! I am mostly posting this because I am still laughing that I took my phone apart to find there was just lint, but hopefully this will help a few of you.
Might wanna take the battery out while performing this if you do use a metal hook.
Just a suggestion

I do it with it on and everything. There is no power in the headphone jack. plus the battery is way to low powered to do anything (especially if you do it with a resister like me)
I understand you probably know what you're doing. However, there are alot of others who are gonna read your OP and start shoving paperclips down in their phone. Thus the reason for my comment.
After being in the electronics industry for 20+ years, I have learned(sometimes the hard way) to try and remove the power source if possible.
Anyway, I respect your assistance. Carry on and ignore me if you want.

true. I understand. I have learned from electronics that it can never hurt to remove the power source whenever possible.

I have had exactly the same problem for last 2-3 weeks... I was getting ready to send the phone to Motorola for repairs.
Stumbled upon this thread and immediately had a feeling that this gotta be it. Took out the battery (usually something bad happens to gadgets when I try to fix them), used a paperclip to take some lint out, and voila! Headphones are back.
lkrasner, thank you for sharing, your post saved a lot of hassle and money!
P.S. Damn you, pocket lint!
Awesome.
Thank you! Never would have looked there. Worked perfectly.
I am looking to replace my battery on my Nexus 6P, I've abused it in the form of basically charging it all the time, all 8 hours at work, it sat on the charger all day, since I use it heavily. I now know the erro of my ways and I want to repalce the battery.
I've watched videos on how to do it, I know it's not easy, but it is possible. Has anyone here changed it, also where did you get the battery, I've found them anywhere form $10 to $50, I ahve no problem paying more if I know it's an OEM battery.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe someone, but I've not heard of anybody doing it....
Not here either....seems like a terrible time haha Best of luck to you if you try but when my battery life degrades to that point I will be parting with this phone and either buying another one of some sort. Even working with electronics for years there no way I'd personally succeed the first time lol
I have dissassembled my phone to replace random components after falling on it. its not that hard to get apart in my opinion, and its super simple to replace the battery if you can source the battery

Right! The teardown video I saw made it look not that bad, and I toar apart my Galaxy Nexus to replace the USB port on it back in the fday, and that was actually fun, granted it had a removable back with easier access to screws, but still.

I have been eyeing the oneplu3 and oogling over the supposed specs on the oneplus4, so I'll probably go there as soon as it's released, but my battery is bad, I get 2 hour SOT if I'm lucky, this phone used to give me 4+ easy.
If you have to open up.
Buy extra camera glass pieces. Thats literally the only thing that normally goes wrong if you dont have a real heat gun. Dont thing hair dryers will do the trick unless your extremely patient. I plan on replacing the housing soon.

You just made me sad, I hadn't really looke dinto the oneplus all that much and dind't realize VZW data didn't work. I'm on an unlimited VZW plan, crap.
Hopefully the oneplus 4 has the ZVW radios. Now I really need to change this battery.

Haha yeeeeaaah all that GSM crap and all their "nice" phones Good luck if ya try man, you're more adventurous than I!
I've successfully done an internal component swap. Swapped the motherboard and battery from a very beat up N6P into one that was in excellent condition but was basically a paperweight.
The most difficult thing about this project was not getting into the phone, but getting into the phone without leaving any noticeable scratches. Removing the camera glass and the plastic strip at the bottom took at least half an hour of heating and gentle prying. Getting the screen out without a suction cup tool was a bit tricky too, i had to wedge in a chisel x-acto blade and pry it up, lucky no damage was done.
My advice would be to have on hand as many of the tools suggested in the youtube videos and to be patient while do it.

Good to know
Thinking about doing mine
I've never taken mine apart but if I plan on replacing my battery I will buy the replacement glass piece and bottom plastic piece at the same time. Those are the only pieces that can get damaged in the process.
I just watched that video. from the looks of it, so long as you take your time. and have that suction cup tool, it should be fairly straight forward. at least you are not having to separate the screen itself from the guts to get inside.
Looks like my battery is on its way as well.
Anyone sourced genuine replacement yet?
Have you considered getting a battery case for it?

Why?
I understand the 2 out of 10 rating on iFixit after replacing the back cover on my phone. 90% of the pain is getting to the 6 screws. I don't think it is possible without scratching up the old cover. Funny thing is that I just wanted to change it from silver to black. A heat gun is a definite requirement. Not for the faint at heart for sure.

Hi all...
Could you check one thing for me pls?
Put your OP6 on a hard surface like a study table(mine is made of wood) and charge it. Take off any case etc. Also without any shoes or slippers etc.
Then run your fingers along the sides i.e. along the metal frame while it's charging.
Do you feel like a hint of current/electricity on your fingers?
I feel like the minutest of minute vibration while running my fingers.
But only when it's on a hard surface.
When I hold it in my hands, I don't feel anything.
Please kindly do this test and tell me.
Thank you.

That happens with MacBook too! I mean thats electrical discharge / leakage. Thats pretty normal. You might get a minor shock if you lick the metallic contacts or if the same comes in contact with your sensitive areas like elbow, belly and below that
Relax!

Not at all.
Same happens on my OP3, but it stopped after few months randomly. I think you shouldn't get the replacament unit, or at least i didn't because i don't live in a country that oneplus is officially selling devices, if you do and it's not much pida, go ahead, but you might get the same resultl lol

I got it replaced and it's working fine now...
Has anyone had an issue with their screen popping when you unlock the phone? It's almost like the top layer of glass is separating from the next layer down. I only hear it when I'm unlocking the phone with the in-screen fingerprint reader.... especially if I exaggerate it by putting as much ofy thumb surface on as possible.
It seems cosmetic at this point, but I'm worried it will get worse. I've babied the phone. Hardly ever out of its case, never dropped, etc.

Similar enough thread here, seems to be an occurring problem at this rate. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/screen-lift-t3931057
Thanks. I searched. Not sure how I didn't find that. Wondering if I should call them. I would only want to exchange if they would cross-ship. Never had to send a phone back to them before. Guess it's worth calling/chatting with them.

I did. They'll cover it, but I have to send it back. I fought with them for an hour about it... trying to get an exception to the process (ie: cross-ship/replace). They wouldn't budge.
