[Q] Brand new OPO, never activated, blocked IMEI!! HELP! - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased the OnePlus One Sandstone Black 64 GB directly from oneplus.net after I finally received an invitation on January 09, 2015. I've been playing with it since I received it in the middle of the next week, but have not put in a SIM card. Currently, I'm using with my S5 for a little while longer with t-mobile.
I was looking tonight at different options and used the cricket website to test the IMEI/ESN number for this phone. It came back as blocked. I also used swappa.com and sure enough it's blocked
What in the world can I do?? I tried to post to the oneplus page but don't have enough responses yet. After reading all of the horror stories about their customer service, and since it has been over 14 days, I can only imagine the worst. I will call my credit union and see if I can dispute the charges since I was shipped an unusable (at least I think) phone and certainly hope I won't be expected to pay $349 for something I can't use.
Any help, suggestions, or ideas about what I can do in this situation will be greatly appreciated! Also, has this happened to anyone else?
Thanks!

I'd suggest you open an RMA request with OnePlus, as well as a PayPal dispute. Do the PayPal dispute first so that you can quote a reference number for the case when you request an RMA from OnePlus, they usually are more responsive when there's PayPal dispute involved.

Timmaaa,
Thanks for the idea of including the paypal dispute information, that is a great idea! I've added it in my ticket with oneplus and we'll see what happens next.
I did receive a response to the oneplus ticket that I opened last night. Basically in my ticket I was letting them know that I wanted to exchange my phone for one that is not blocked and one that I can actually use. (in re-reading it I may not have been clear enough on what I wanted though, so I was much more specific in my follow up). This was their response:
Hi Scott,
We're sorry that you no longer wish to keep your purchase. Unfortunately, we are only able to process devices or unopened accessory return requests made within 14 days of delivery, in accordance with our Return Policy (http://oneplus.net/privacy-and-legal#returnpolicy). Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Gail​
--Sheesh, that isn't what I said at all

Just reply again, making sure that you're very clear about it being a defective unit.

Well, things went from broken to working really quickly. I explained to OP in better detail exactly what was happening and gave them my paypal dispute id. They wrote back to ask me for screen shots showing it was a blocked IMEI/ESN number. This morning when I went back to swappa and cricket the numbers were no longer blocked and showed clear and ready to go.
My best guess is that the blacklist database was having issues last weekend and gave a false report on my phone. I doubt that OP had a chance to fix the issue (I really don't know though I suppose they might have).
Anyway, this ended up with me apologizing to OP, and learning a lesson to wait a few days before jumping off the deep-end when something like this happens. In my defense though, spending $349 on a phone that was blocked was a hard pill to swallow
Timmaaa, thanks again for your help!
Scott

Glad you managed to get it resolved....... Enjoy your OnePlus One

Beware Mobiletechvideos!

I just wanted to let you guys know about the poor experience my friend has had with this company. I will start by saying that I have used the service before and was very satisfied. So when my friend's Galaxy S4's charging port failed I recommended mobiletech to her. She sent the phone in and that is where the fun began. She did receive an email saying that the phone was received, fast forward two weeks and she has heard nothing about the phone, she emails them and gets no response. After a few days she finds a number and calls. She is told that "Josh" is out and will return her phone call. She finally gets a phone call back the next day and is told that the part had to be ordered, she then inquires why she was notified of the delay, they apparently have nothing to say about that. She was told that they expected the part to be in within the week and that she should have her phone back in about a week. Two weeks have gone by and again no word, not calls, no emails, nothing about what is happening with her phone. IT HAS BEEN OVER 5 WEEKS!. Of course I feel responsible because I recommended her to this company. I am also disappointed because I was going to send a phone in the get repaired. I know a lot of people have had good experiences with this company, as have I, but based on this recent experience I would caution you guys about using them. I will update this post if anything changes.

This is a fairly well known company around here, and like I said I used them before with no issue. Another week has gone by and she still has heard nothing. I was secretly hoping that someone from there would see this post and maybe look in on the issue, but I guess not. I guess I will have to start leaving negative reviews around the internet and see if that gets their attention.

My negative review...
Sorry to hear about your friend's problem with this company. I'm going to write about my experience with this company...which I have to say is just as negative. In short, I placed an order with them to remotely fix my EFS. After setting an appointment up, I never heard another word from them; even after emailing them....STILL NO REPLY. So I was thinking about titling the post...

It's strange with all the great reviews this would be happening. My phone was signed for on Wed and I haven't heard anything but I wish they'd just say they received it (someone signed for it) so I'm hoping come Monday I'll here something. I paid for faster service and haven't heard back via email or phone yet
Mobile Tech Videos - what's up??????
I sent my Galaxy sIII in to them for a "hard brick" problem (yes I tried all OTHER ways before resorting to this). The Phone was sent on 7 July and they received it on 9 July. When I logged on it was shown as being "completed". I had hoped that the phone would be returning shortly. After a week still no phone. I sent them emails..... no answers. I called them and left voice mail...... no answer. I contacted them om Facebook... no answer. I had thought, from people on XDA, that this was a legit service but now I am having second thoughts. If I don't hear from them soon I'll just deny the credit card payment and cut my losses. This really sucks. I hope no one else has this bad of an experience.:crying: :crying: :crying:
I saw somewhere on XDA that they were in the process of relocating and once that was finished they would be able to get everything done since they are so backed up.

I sincerely hope this is true, I just sent my phone for efs repair to them last week with no updates on them "awaiting shipment". Found this thread through google and just hoping to get my phone back now
Hi guys/gals!
OK, let's get some things sorted out for everyone here! What are your order numbers? I actively monitor another thread here on XDA but didn't realize this one was going so I'm glad I searched for it. It is 100% true we are relocating to our brand new facility on a large section of land that I purchased and I've been contracting the entire project. Although it is an exciting transition, it's been tougher keeping up with emails and communication so I am very grateful for everyone's patience. As most know, we run a clean operation and this is unusual for us so I do apologize for the inconvenience a small percentage of you have had bestowed upon yourselves. So, we have around 3 weeks remaining on our build and we plan to be into the building and running completely out of it the week of August 25th and onward. This process has been rolling since mid-March so the end of it is greatly welcomed by my team and my family! I greatly appreciate the customer base we have of loyal XDA patrons and the likes of many other online avenues. In addition I'm hiring 2 employees to add to our team to better assist our customers in the future for better customer service. I look forward to completing that transition and continuing to uphold the high standards we have set and come to be known by in the future.
So, what are your order numbers? Let's see about making this a response thread for those having trouble getting updates from us.
Thanks!

Order #24129. I called, it had a damaged logic board, but was able to get it booted again. Asked if you could remove root, and reset things so I could get my warranty to cover the replacement. Then it was supposed to be sent back. Maybe it is en-route? Also, there was talks about a partial refund since not all services could be rendered.
Any updates hopefully?
Glad I found this, I was worried from the lack of response or progress on my order. My order number's #24137
Here is an update:
My friend got her pone back about a month ago, she was told that a former employee broke the screen on her phone and hid the phone rather than take responsibility. Mobiletech fixed the screen free of charge and the original problem and shipped the phone back. The phone is now working great. Of course my continuing concern is that had attempts to contact been return in a timely manner this probably would have been resolved sooner. I hope this is a lesson learned.
How do I get ahold of these guys at Mobiletech?
I have emailed them and called and I can't get a hold of anyone at Mobiletech. Does anyone know if they are still open?

Hey Josh,
I am a customer of yours (order# 24225) and I gotta say my experience has been a little less than pleasant. I run a cell repair outfit and I had my JTAG tech out on vacation. So I decided to try you guys out since I had seen your videos, and heard ok things about you on XDA.
I understand that you guys are in the middle of a big move but this is the exact thing that you should have as a large post on your main page or at least your payment page. This should also be something that you anticipate when you are still selling "Rush Service" which I unfortunately paid for. Hire more customer service staff during the move so that you can at the very least communicate with your customers. I have had a phone with you for 4 weeks and have had to fight to get any response at all. Many times I have sent emails, and left voicemails and I haven't gotten any response at all. It wasn't until today that I finally got someone on the phone to get an update and they told me that they would have to call me back as your computers are not up. I understand the hiccups and hangups that moving can cause but it is unacceptable that you don't prepare for this and at least have your people doing regular callbacks to customers to keep them updated. My outfit does approximately 50 repairs a day for people local and shipped in and we make it a point to at least call every day or two to let people know what is going on. I also only employ 3 other people so I know this volume at least can be handled with minimal staffing. It just requires a customer-centric attitude from your employees.
All in all my Note 3 has been with you guys for over a month now and I have been promised call backs, told on numerous occasions that it will "ship this coming Thursday" (Been told that for 3 weeks now), and sent emails/left messages that do not even get a response. I am sure you guys know what you are doing and are quite skilled at reviving hard bricked devices. I also know that it is not easy so I commend you for building a business around it. Your lack of communication and ability to deliver what is advertised, and what your employees told to your customers within a reasonable amount of time is what I am disappointed about.
I am still waiting to hear from someone who promised they would call me back in an hour. That deadline has passed by about an hour. Hopefully we can at least get some resolution on XDA going because reaching you guys directly and expecting accountability is obviously out of the question.
Thank You,
Collin

First of all, Order 24289
While you're at it, call every customer with an order older than 4 days--or less, for the poor bastards that paid you extra. Explain the nature of the delay, take ownership of your selfish blunders, tell your customers that you are human.... just do something. Avoiding messages and phone calls makes you look like a total asshat, when you're probably just a little scared of confrontation. I get it, but you need to stop that.
Also, you need to add some HUGE banner text to your website informing other potential victims of your halt in operations. The smart & ethical thing to do would be to disable ordering altogether while you figure out the best way to remove your head from your fourth point of contact.

Hello my order number is #24437. While you didn't update your website until the 27th of August I believe, I mistakenly shipped it too the old address two days prior to the 27th and with no reply or word back from you guys I am really worried. Please get back to me.

frustrated - LG customer support question...

dear all...
called lg for an rma.
sent phone in, it was tested, confirmed wasn't working properly.
agreed to the work that needed to be done. i was charged 168 or so.
they were going to send me a better than new refurb.
i was happy with that.
they sent the replacement phone via fedex.
was due to arrive this past friday. it didn't.
looks like fedex lost the phone.
i spoke with fedex...opened a case number.
they're looking for it.
have in certain words been told by fedex...phone is lost. we'll keep searching, but, it's lost.
advise LG to also file a claim.
spoke with LG. they filed a claim with fedex.
i figured that meant they would cancel that particular phone from my account with them and they would send a replacement.
well, that's not happening.
apparently, i've been told by LG i have to wait 2-3 weeks until the claim goes through before they can do anything.
so, now i'm without a phone for 2-3 weeks.
how inconvenient is that???
i asked LG why they couldn't send me a replacement. according to their first tier customer support - they just can't.
they HAVE to wait for this thing to play out.
no explanation as to why they can't file the claim and send me a replacement.
if fedex finds it...they send it right back to LG.
no one loses in that scenario.
does anyone out there have any advice, suggestions, or experience with this sort of thing?
i'm leaning towards to finding a corporate level email address somewhere and appealing to them in some manner.
i'm pretty bitter about the whole thing, tbh.
any advice is welcome.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tl;dr
being held hostage by LG due to fedex losing a replacement phone LG sent me.
they're telling me it'll be 2-3 wks before they'll even consider sending me a replacement.
anyone have suggestions as to who to contact at LG to get better, more thorough customer service??
cheers!

yeah...i'm not at all twittered up. or, facebooked for that matter.
although, the way i feel over the whole thing is definitely tempting me to change my outlook regarding social media.
especially if it may actually make a difference.
thanks for the advice, btw. i appreciate it.
it's seriously frustrating as hell.
tomorrow's tactic is to follow advice from another's thread on reddit. since LGs call center is based in the philippines, if you press 2 on the call in prompt for spanish...you almost always get routed to someone stateside.
not that this will have any effect on LGs policy...but, perhaps i can get someone a little more sympathetic to my plight.
after that...i'll try whatever is next on the list.
may even be social media.
don't you usually have to have a lot of followers and whatnot?
Sorry to say, but I think LG needs Fedex to verify the phone was never delivered. They might think you are running a scam to get two phones. Just a thought, and I am in no way saying you did anything wrong or that it is fair to you. I feel bad for you and hope it is settled soon.

no, no...i totally get that aspect. they're putting in their due diligence.
totally get it.
however, since it was lost while with fedex and they have no tracking history of it getting beyond the point of their local warehouse everyone involved knows there was never any customer contact.
so, i had that solidly in my court.
oddly, i received an email from lg this AM saying they received my device YESTERDAY at their facility and it is about to be tested and repaired.
welllllllllll, since i was going to call anyway....
i called. again.
except this time i took the redditor's advice and called the spanish call center.
like he/she said...they speak perfect english and are located in the states.
not sure any of that had anything to do with anything...but, it's worth noting.
also, they were a LOT more pleasant to deal with.
i suppose the spanish speaking call center receives a lesser volume of calls leaving these guys a lot less jaded???
at any rate...i have a promise of a call from LG on monday or tuesday.
the plan is to send me a new device and they'll take over the issue with fedex.
as of today's call...they're hoping i'll have a new device in my hands by the end of next week.
i'm not going to hold my breath - i've had other CSRs tell me "they'll call me back."
however, the new RMA email seems to indicate that they are, in fact, making progress in moving this forward for me.
fingers crossed.
there are always more interesting things going on in these threads...but, i'll update as things move along.
thanks everyone for even bothering to read about these escapades.
xda rocks...OG evo and onward!

Google Ripped me off over My Pixel device replacement

Heya, I need some advice regarding issue I'm facing right now.
I bought Google Pixel back in december, but unfortunately vibrator stopped working on 3rd week. I bought device from the carphone warehouse (London,UK). I went to them and told them about this they said me that they can only help if device is in 14 days period, after that warranty goes straight to google and you need to contact them to get it replaced.
Now here the magic happens
I called google on 3rd January regarding this, they told me to send back faulty device which i did on 7th of January. They have dispatched my new device on 19th of January but sadly because of the uneducated (not trained) support team they shipped it to wrong address. They told me that I have to wait till they get the device back, so I contacted shipping company and explained the situation to them and they returned the device to warehouse where it came from and they also have sent me the copy of all transits. Now since then my device is still stuck in same process as they have some technical glitch in their system they cant send me back my old device or neither replacement device. I'm chasing them since 4 months now but no one is helping me out. Every-time I get the same answer that our specialist are working on the issue and thank you for being patient. In march I moved to my home country ( Pixel is officially launched in my country ), now there is no way I can sue them over legal way as I'm not in same country (I guess) and I lost the device as well. I have almost hundreds of email regarding try to resolve the issue but they just don't give sh*t about customer. I have paid full amount in cash and right now I have nothing but just emails full with apologize .
Its a shame for google to unable to fix a simple shipping issue since 4 months. I have been told that all the experts are working on my case but who cares. How can they became expert if they cant fix single issue in 4 months. I have talk about this issue on multiple site but no answer from anywhere. For google it just a matter of dispatching new device to me and resolve the issue later as I have submitted my old device but no Luck.
I have been ripped off by google over my pixel device.
Its a Google USA support team who is handling my issue right now.
Any suggestion will be appreciated. If you can tag the person who can help or can rise the issue on XDATV for just a few seconds will be very very helpful.
Have you been on the phone instead of email. Explain situation to get escalated to management.
Try the Pixel user community at productforums.google.com. What have they been saying other than thanks for being patient? You need to speak to someone directly, phone or live chat would be great but I'm not sure they have it. Good luck anyway, I hope it gets resolved.

360 Camera for $50, even if you ordered via Sprint

Looks like a little work around someone shared on Reddit to get the 360 camera for $50 works for Sprint pre-orders.
https://www.reddit.com/r/essential/comments/6vvg6c/regret_not_buying_the_360_camera/
Buy the camera and phone from Essential.com (link and steps in the Reddit link), reserve the 360 camera for $50 at checkout, stop there. Just don't buy the phone if you don't want a 2nd one.
I pre-ordered via Sprint for the 50% off lease for 18 months. I also followed these steps to reserve the camera. I got an email about my reservation for $50. I didn't get to put in any purchase info at that point yet. Instead, a follow-up email to complete my order came. Upon checkout, I am in fact purchasing the 360 camera for $50.
I did this as well. Order processed. Fingers crossed they dont cancel. I spoke to their support about this. They goofed my reservation and the camera wasnt showing. I got impatient and went the Sprint route and they emailed me last night to reserve the camera and they would send me the checkout info. I told them i ordered the phone already and they said no problem. So it looks like it processed properly
Thanks for this. Seemed to work as I had already reserved a camera earlier. I was disappointed that I wouldn't get to try this camera out as I wouldn't pay 200 for out.
I was able to buy the 360 Camera for 50$ from Essential website although I placed my order for the phone through Amazon
I did the same. Reserved camera, backed out of cart, email came in, then I purchased it.
Dang, it's $179 now :/

Yeah I ordered mine last night and it was 179! Surprisingly the email I got from them said it's still $50, so I contacted them hoping I could get it for 50 since that's what the email says, but I haven't heard back from them, but from what I'm seeing on Twitter... They don't get back to u that quickly or often.... ?
Missed this... damn it.
Has anyone that ordered this without the phone receive a shipping notification yet?

I ended up sending them a long rant about their delays and that i ended up getting the phone from Sprint to avoid delays. Long story short, gave them my Sprint Info and IMEI/SN and said the experience has been terrible and hope the honor the price even though i ended up buying through a more reliable outlet:

Can't get my refund from OnePlus

hi guys. I've just opened this thread cose I don't know what else to do.
I have returned my OnePlus 7 pro as it was faulty and got another one (currently using OnePlus 7 pro)
my device arrived at their return center on may 31( I have the proof of the delivery)
however, the OnePlus costumer service just don't want to give my money back.
I've contacted them 5 times already. asked to talk to supervisor (the supervisor didn't contact me either, though they promised that will call me back.
any advice what should I do would be highly appreciated
I had similar problem and the only way that worked was PayPal claim because the customer service did not answer to messages
Thanks a lot for your reply? I'll contact to my bank regarding this issue
Bummer, contact your credit card company if necessary...

Depending on your payment method (Credit card or PayPal), open a dispute with them. Good luck.
I haven't experienced such issues with support myself, but it seems many others are. It's one thing to have poor technical support, but a whole other thing when it comes to money.
OnePlus should definitely take things like refunds a lot more seriously and ensure everything is running smoothly in that regard, as it's probably very scary to feel you've been robbed of hundreds of dollars :/
This is why I try to make all my payments through PayPal as you can file claims through them.
You are right. When it is about money it should be all extremely serious!
because of their service, I had to pay more to my credit card company ! And why?
OnePlus trying to enter into flagship phone's market! but they took wrong rout to do so! They talked to me like they are doing me a favor when I was talking to their costumer service! And why? Because Ive just paid them 1400$? This is anaceptable!
Next time I'll use only PayPal and I hope will never do business with subpar companies.
I hope people can be aware by reading this thread!
Always PayPal.... Helps to avoid the customs import fees as well....

hi guys. I've just opened this thread cose I don't know what else to do.
I have returned my OnePlus 7 pro as it was faulty and got another one (currently using OnePlus 7 pro)
my device arrived at their return center on may 31( I have the proof of the delivery)
however, the OnePlus costumer service just don't want to give my money back.
I've contacted them 5 times already. asked to talk to supervisor (the supervisor didn't contact me either, though they promised that will call me back.
any advice what should I do would be highly appreciated

Did they give you another one ?
Because you know you wouldn't be entitled to a refund if that was the case,
Sorry,based on your story,had to ask

Yea,sorry had to ask,that sucks. Whenever something like that happens to me I use PayPal dispute and it's never let me down ,other than a bit of waiting for it all to be resolved. One time I had an issue with a debit card purchase,I had to apply for a chargeback, had to gather a bit of evidence and post it away but got my money back eventually,
Pain in the neck alright

I have opened a dispute with my credit card company already. Moreover , today I got another RMA from them . like 26 days after my first RMA. I'm getting another one. They have just lost my device and want me to pay for it! Also On my first RMA they didn't put IMEI number. This second one contains my IMEI, and has COMPLETELY different RMA..
