One Plus One Touchscreen

Hey guys, I want to buy a "defective" OPO for 100$. The sellers told me that a part of the touchscreen (about 13%) is not working. He says it works every once in a while but it is really rare. I was wondering if I would be able to fix this trough a Kernel or a ROM update (he runs CM12S) or if I need to change the screen completely. The guy says he had the phone for 2 months and he hasn't try to fix it because he has an iPhone (LOL)
Thanks for your answers!

Don't think how low u have to pay for opo but must think is it usable
Nearly 20% users complaining about touch issues like
1)ghost touch
2)unresponsive screen etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/ghost-touches-invisible-finger-t2832822
OPO tried to solve this by firmware updates but they still not fully able to manage it
New firmware with improved kernel solved lot more touch issues but draining battery a lot for most people's
So its u r decision buy or not to buy but three possibilities are
1) buy if u don't care about u r money if problem not got solved
2)buy if screen problem is not due to any hardware issues because if yes u have to replace whole screen which cost 200$
3)if its software problem then u should know most of android rooting/ flashing /custom roms/custom kernels to recover problems
If its software problem then these are some solution

I bought an oneplus one with a broken screen on ebay.
Bought an replacement display with frame and some cheap tools for 50€ on aliexpress.
Replaced the broken screen + frame withing one hour. It was my first attempt to open up a smartphone ever.
Only problematic part was the earpiece, which I almost destroyed.
And also the lower antenna (which is fixed with double sided adhesive tape) bent a little bit.
But besides that it was very easy to dismantle the Oneplus One and to replace the screen/frame combo.
Compared to my other One the new screen looks absolutely identical. Only the earpiece grille is slightly different.
So. My conclusion. If your are able to unscrew a smartphone and are not completely lacking fine motoric skills, you can have a cheap Oneplus One. Watch the tutorials vids on youtube and the photos on ifixit.
cheers!
Edit:
Ah and yes. With my One the screen was shattered and not working.
So I have to agree to my previous speaker. It could also be some other part of the hardware not working. It's always a risk. But I assume, that by replacing the whole screen/frame, probably the digitizer problems should be solved.

I also wanted to mention that I also experienced ghost touch issues with my first Oneplus One.
Thats why I orderd a replacement screen in the first place. Then, in the meantime, until the display arrived, Oneplus released a firmware update and my ghost touch issues vanished.
But. I never had parts completely not responding on my screen. It was "only" a ghost touch issue.

i have it
Hey guys, i finally bought thé phone and the u, thé j and the n keys works 1 out of 10 times. Si it is not completely broke. How tout dix that?

Download YAMTT from play store. Test if you can paint everywhere on the screen.

yamtt
no I can't there is a small bar on the right that is not working

Probably a broken digitizer. I.'ve never read of anybody fixing this with a Software update. On the other hand, I'm not an expert...

Small crack on home button

Having a black S7(non-edge). Small crack in the home button at an edge. Was there from DAY 1 I guess. Much less noticeable in the black color.
Will it be worse overtime?
Will it render the fingerprint scanner unusable?

Should be a manufacturing defect that I didn't notice out of the box. No way this could happen without dropping the phone or any other strong impact which I'm sure I haven't done. Anyway since the exchange period is over there is no use of crying over spilt milk.
Even if I had found this issue within the replacement period or even on the same day of unboxing itself there is a chance that they will try their best to not give me replacement based on my previous experience with my Galaxy S3 which had a gap between back cover and the main body at the top edge for which they laughed at me when asked for a replacement and denied my claim. They only way to prove that this was indeed a manufacturing defect is to record the unboxing of the product and if there is anything wrong with the unit show it in the video right way, LOL, otherwise they won't believe my claim. I've seen people in forums who had replaced thrice or even five times. But things aren't so easy at my place.
It's been almost 1 month from the date of purchase. I contacted Samsung, and they are telling that physical damages aren't covered in warranty and if in case it's a manufacturing defect they told me to approach any service center to inspect. I heavily doubt whether they will believe me. Should I give it a try? What do you say?

Lol. Also It's a know truth to many how Samsung also had become bad in quality with major/minor issue with camera, build much more. The issues with Galaxy S7 forums all over the internet is just enough to support my statement.

I'm in a confusion whether to go and get it repaired by Samsung or not. Because once when I approached Samsung's approved service centre (@ 2014) when my Galaxy S3 had a minor hardware issue (for the reason I quoted in one of my post) after replacement period. A person I closely know there (one of the repair guys) advised not to better give it for repair for this silly issue to any Samsung service centers and to better cover it with a case/cover since they were kind of bad at repairing and that they might mess up something else. So I'm kind of in a confusion in the case of my GS7's home button issue. What do you guys say?
Should I go for warranty repair?
Most of all, Will it cause to loose water-proofing?

Go for it. If anything bad happens, just publicly shame them. Shouldn't lose you're waterproofing because it's being fixed by a first party

I got screwed buying a 2nd hand phone. I need your guys help to fix it

So someone on a facebook group was selling a Galaxy S6 because it wouldnt turn on. He said it worked 1 moment and then suddenly it wouldnt charge or turn on. I figured it was just a software issue and that it might be an easy fix so I bought it for $40. I get home and no sooner than I take it out the back falls right off like the adhesive wasnt holding and the casing over the motherboard easily came off. I look at it closely and realize the battery isnt the original and someone had tampered with it to the point one of the red wires was not connected to anything and it looks like another wire is missing. Here are some pictures and im hoping some tech savy individual can help point me in the right direction on fixing this as I was hoping to surprise my wife with it since her phone is about 5 years old and showing age.

Mine certainly does not have Galaxy S6 on the back... though it is black.

Oops I was wrong but never saw an S6 with s6 name on it.
Sent from my SM-G925F

A real glass and metal phone would never be built like that or come apart so easily.
You know the saying "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is"

That phone is absolutely 100% not a Galaxy S6. Fake 100%.

It even says on the back that it was "MADE IN KOREAN BY SAMSUNG". Last time I checked, it was called Korea.

To jump in this one i got one simialr situation wouldnt work. I disaambled cleaned all contacts on flex cables. It works now but i did bust my back and i now have a cheap aftermarket back didnt look at ure pics yet im at work. These phones are highly susecptable to any kind of moisture damage. U might try cleanin the flexes. Ive help a few cases and this has worked just because knock off back dont mean nothin. Ill further this later on.
---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------
Wow i do believe this is a total knockoff. Ill post of pics of the inside here in a few completly diffrent. The battery is supposed to have a flex cable no wires. And theres loads of writing on the motherboard thats not on official samsung board. Plus it look like theres a 3 or 4 wire black plug sticking of the board. Man i hate it for you but ure probly wasting your time.
I need a cleaner pic of the mb. I do small electronics repair and might be able to help just cant see slear enough

Can't believe this is debatable... the phone is a total knock off. Sorry to hear it man what a bummer.
The motherboard in the S6 is blue (not green), the big Galaxy S6 text on the back is in wrong font, but you can get an S6 with that text on the back (certain regions), but that is as fake as they come. I mean look at the camera, its tiny! Google S6 teardown, you will see the difference. There is also no Wireless Charging contacts.
Sorry to deal the bad news mate, sucks there are people out there like this
On the bright side, it was only $40! People have been scammed for retail prices for this. I wouldn't bother fixing it either, the fake will be awful to use, worse than many low, low end phones.

pink line of death

I've got the pink Line of Death.
Its a pink Line vertical from the top to the bottom.
This Problem is already known from Samsung but Not official agreed.
Anyone has this Problem too?

It looks like this

Mine did that yesterday, only a faint line in the same place but not as strong as yours. I powered off for 5 minutes but it was still there. 5 minutes later it was gone and hasn't reappeared since. Odd.

Thats Not my mobile, but it kinda looks like this
Hope that the next Samsung Service Point can repair this due to my guarantee

I find this weird that this issue pops up now after a year and when the S8 is about to launch

My previous S7E had that line on the screen. It is a physical damage, because the line appeared and disappeared when I pressed in the area of the frontal camera. Previously the screen was broken after a fall from my jeans bag.
My phone was stolen on the bus, at least the thief took it with the broken screen and the pink line of death.

With an avatar like that, I cannot trust your judgement

I had this issue over Christmas, really annoying and it got worse if you applied any pressure around the Samsung emblem. I thought my number was up as I'd rooted and the knox was obviously tripped. I took it into my local network provider shop as a first port of call. They told me they have their own repair service which doesn't involve using Samsung so they sent it off. I still expected a comeback on the knox but when I went in to speak to them a week or so later I was told they couldn't repair it and I was handed a brand new S7 Edge. Bonus as the old one was from launch day last March.
Just to say I was told it's a well known solder joint issue at the top of the screen, which is why applying pressure around the Samsung emblem makes it worse and why the line is always in exactly the same place. It can only be fixed with a hardware repair or replacement, nothing you can do with software will fix it, nor will any sort of reset.

Apply pressure around the Samsung name/earpiece, I reckon you will see it reappear. Either way it will be back, it's a hardware fault which might start as an intermittent issues but eventually will be a constant.

Awesome! I had the same issue but then I accidentally put the phone through the wash and had to claim on insurance. They replaced the phone with one that was manufactured in October and *touch wood* I haven't had the issue on this one so far.

I had this problem a month ago... I used Samsung's warranty to service the phone.. They changed the screen and the battery...

Just checked and mine was manufactured the end of November. Hopefully if the pink line was caused by a design fault it had been rectified before either of our new phones were made.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The issue was probably only with the earlier released devices. My brother got his around June time and has the pink line. Unfortunately he smashed his screen and cannot claim.

the same pink line problem started yesterday.. in the morning afte rplaying with those color buttons after entering code, lines went off. However when i press on top part of the phone, the line still appears... may the service decline repair since the phone is rooted?

Beefheart has got a new Phone with root

But through my phone network repair service, rather than Samsung.

Image Retention - burn in issue

Is there anyone doesn’t face this problem? does screen replacement fix it permanently?...anyone knows how to fix it please tell us.
to check your screen : https://marco.org/rmbp-irtest.html

It's the problem with those lg manufactured lcd panels, just like how it used to be on the Moto g4plus... So even if it gets fixed by a replacement panel, it's only a matter of time until it comes back unless they change the panel model itself, which i think won't be done.

It has, but it's only a matter of time before it comes back, from what I've heard. So i didn't bother changing it. When the burn in gets too much, i just use a lcd burn wipe app with red noise for 1 or 2 minutes and it'll be gone. The problem is obviously with the red pixels coz the burn in appears red in colour.

Will have a bad impact? Only this time i found screen retention on my devicelmao

The crappy LG panel problem affects many Nokia 8 phones and it is becoming more common every day. Mine has this problem for about six months.
Using an app is a temporary solution and can help for 1-2 days but the problem returns.
You can send it for repairs but in 3rd world countries like Greece it will get about one month to get the screen replaced. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Does anyone remember the LG Nexus 5X motherboard problem that affected every single phone?... Same ****ty situation.

I've seen this issue with my Nokia 8, I've had image retention after chatting with someone for a while on WhatsApp their name and the Google logo from the keyboard remained for sometime afterwards. I've not had it stay permanently, but is noticeable if you go into an app that has a black background.

I suppose it'll just grow until a point... Nothing drastic... Except for the annoyance of the retended image on screens with grey background...

Just to specify that it's not a software problem. The issue is there on Nougat and Oreo for me. It's clearly the poor screen quality. .

I used to have this problem and it did annoy me a lot. But here is a simple fix :
Use cf.Lumen and add a profile with parameters like the photos attached
3 months now and has not seen that stupid red hue on the screen
*device has to be rooted

Guys help on retweeting so that hopefully Nokia will be aware of this issue and compensate for it. This is a hardware issue, no software magic can fix this.

And did you ever replace your display? I'm asking coz i just replaced my display because it broke due to the damn charger falling on the screen (so much for Gorilla glass). I remember i saw lgd dual dsi display or something on the "display" section of aida64, but after the replacement from Nokia's authorised service centre, it's not shown any longer (the lgd dual dsi something...). So i wish to know if it's authentic...
