Black screen OnePlus 6 - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I got my new Onelus 6 five days ago, and i installed the latest updates (ONEPLUS A6003_22_180614).
For the last three days, i've had issues with the screen going black. When i lock it and then try to unlock it, the screen doesn't switch back on, it keeps being dark.
I tried to reboot it several times (Volume button + power) but the screen is still black. The phones vibrates and the LED works but the screen doesn't.
I tried to remove the SIM card, but the problem is still here.
Sometimes after 100 trials, the reboot works, but the problem comes back as soon as i try to unlock it.
Do you know where this bug might come from ? Firmware problem or phone problem ?
I really don't know what to do... I hope you'll be able to help me !
Thank you

Sounds like you should contact OnePlus and it may be a defective phone. Maybe have to RMA it and have it replaced.

Have you tried a factory reset,or using the msmdownloadtool

My phone is brand new, I don't think a factory reset would change anything, does it ?
I want to see what OnePlus support can do for me before trying anything with softwares on my phone ! (I don't want to loose warranty)

I had a similar issue within a day of getting the phone. Nothing worked and had to send for replacement.

Try to reset to the factory settings. If this can't help you, refer to the service center or to shop where you bought the phone.

Hello. I'm having the same problem. Bought my phone couple days ago and it runs ONEPLUS A6003_22_180713. Don't know what to do sinse there is no OnePlus service centre in my city. Have your problem been solved? Have you done anything special?

Hi,
Unfortunately I had to send it back to the website where i bought it. I have been refunded, and i bought a galaxy S9+ (cheaper than the OnePlus 6 i got)

Even i got the same issue since Pie update.
Had rooted when it was on Oreo, when Pie (OOS 9.0) update came, it came with a new issue. Whenever I unlocked the phone, the screen would flash with blue lines and black background multiple times then show the lockscreen. And now with OOS 9.0.2 the issue went even more drastic, the screen kept on flashing while using apps. Even forced reboot didn't solve the problem. I had to power it off and leave it aside in nighttime. The issue has decreased but the lockscreen flashing still exists.
Temporary fix - https://thedroidguy.com/2018/07/how-to-fix-oneplus-6-that-wont-turn-on-easy-fix-1087099
If the issue increases, then I would restore Oreo ROM and relock the bootloader.
I need help tooo!

Best solution is to keep the screen ON always. Or else that flashing bug will keep recurring.
But this is a temporary fix and not all would like to keep it Always ON

Same here from 3 days ago. OX 9.0.2
The phone hangs, No respond and must hard-restart the thing.

Same issue here,since the past 2 weeks.The phone screen keeps flashing when the phone is locked and even restarting the thing 20 times doesn't make the phone start.The LEDs work fine,the phone receives calls and messages too but the entire screen is black and unresponsive at the moment I face this issue.The moment I lock the phone the issue crops up and it's a pain to restart it every time it happens.

Different touchscreen bug

Hi,
My OPO is having some strange behaviors when it comes to the touchscreen. Not only I'm having the ghost touches (still no fix out, right?), but I'm also having a strange bug that makes the center portion of the screen unusable all the freaking time.
I made a video (sorry for the bad quality, the glitch about 25 seconds in and the general noobness ) showing the bug in action (sometimes it happens on the lock screen, which is infuriating cause I have to way of unlocking and have to wait until good guy OPO gets his **** together).
Anyway, is there anyone with a similar problem? any fix on the mind of an illuminated soul? or to the warranty (or lack of it) with it?
Thanks.

I have it too...When i wake up my phone sometimes i have to wait a few sec before the screen becomes responsive...It must be something related to touchscreen software or drivers, theyre really bugged as now.
Yea I also have it, I had it yesterday when i had to call cardstop when my wallet was stolen and my screen wasn't working.
Powered off for 5 min then only the bottom of the screen was was working.
hey guys Abhisek Devkota of CM says that is a firmware related issue caused by partnbers that gave drivers to cm..they now are working hard for it and in this month should be two updates..the firts with the workaround on the ota in the next days and the second with kernel patch

I hope so, its happening almost every time I unlock/try to unlock the phone now. its really annoying, specially during calls, yesterday I called a friend and he didn't pick up so the call went to the voicemail, since I didn't want to leave any message I tried to end the call, but because of this bug I had to put the phone to sleep and wake it up to end the call making me pay for a dam voicemail.
Any news on a fix for this ?
I am having this issue as well but it just started today and I have had the phone for about 3 weeks. After a few minutes of use my touch screen except for the navigation buttons and the status bar become unresponsive and I have to power cycle my device to get the screen working again.
It happened to me today as well. I sure it will be fixed but still glad I have my Nexus 5 till then.
I have found a temporary fix (at least for me). After trying out many different kernels I ended up with the XNPH22R Kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780725). After a reboot the screen frooze but then recoverey without reboot. Now I had no freeze for around 30 hours without reboot. Still running the XNPH25R CM11s Rom.
Phone is rooted and unlocked.
There are also speculations that the freezes could be temperature related or at least partially.

The blue light of death... No screen no safemode no boot

I've had my Samsung up and running for about a week now , did the two most recent updates . Today is the first time I experienced some serious problems . It started with a fingerprint scanner not working delivering an error message that read "fingerprint scanner has stopped working restart phone if this repeats" so after my second time of dealing with this there I restarted the phone . P at this point in time is when the blue light was lit up and has stayed lit up since I restarted it, this has been about an hour. I've tried every option on the recovery menu except factory restore. When I turn the phone on safe mode or not it goes straight to a black screen with the blue light continuously lit up . When I turn the phone off the light never turns off . I've tried hooking it up to the charger and doing all of the same steps above and still no luck. I have not installed any unknown apps other than ones on the play store and haven't had time to even explore rooting or ROMS yet. Seems to me like a brick by the stock software don't know if anybody else's experiences but I don't know what to do . Maybe someone can shed some light before I consider doing a factory restore , if that will even work.. I think this thing is bunked.
Edit~ I also tried pressing both volume buttons the power button and the home button all at once and it took me to a blue screen with the android logo and Galaxy written on the bottom . Nothing for a few seconds then it's says erasing and reboots....still a black screen and a solid blue light.

What firmware are you on? If you've taken the most recent updates, don't worry about rooting. Probably won't happen at least for a while. If you have a warranty, I would use it. If you get a new phone, don't take any updates if you might want to root.
If you want to keep this phone you should try the factory reset or the emergency recovery in SamsungSwitch.

I'm not sure which firmware was on it, I did not pay attention before I took the update. I do know I have taken 2 updates in the last week since I received the phone.
I took the phone to a Verizon store and of course, seemed like going backwards. The rep tried all the same things I had tried and ended up calling a customer service rep to help him figure out what to do. Because the phone was purchased online my business' HR lady had to order another one online( which they replaced for free). Not sure what the problem ended up being but I know personally the most recent update BRICKED the phone.
New phone is up and running and thank you about the advice to not update if I prefer root. I love the stock ROM so I was really only going to root to de-bloat alot of the stock apps that are repetitive (i.e. messaging, messages, and Hangouts) .
So as of now no known fix to this blue light of death, except get a new one.

Check out your firmware in settings, about phone. If your build ends in OC3 or OE2, it can be rooted.
Glad you were able to get a new phone.
OC3!!???

Screen not working on wake up?

So I've been having this weird problem for the past few weeks, where on some occasions I would wake my phone, but instead of getting any image, I just get a entirely black screen with the backlight on. At first I thought it was from CM12.1, so I tried another ROM (Euphoria OS) but got the same problem. Flashed back to stock from Google which seemed to have fixed things, until today where it happened yet again. Does anybody happen to know what is causing this problem? I want to see if there's something I could look at before I get it try and get it sent off for repairs (I flashed back to stock and locked the bootloader again).
Thanks.

Large delays coming out of sleep

I have a very weird issue with my HTC U11 plus:
When the screen is off (the device is asleep, not turned off), pressing the power button or using the fingerprint sensor turns it on, but there is a random delay, between 5 and 20 seconds, where the screen stays blank.
Additionaly, the Edge Sense is absolutely unreliable: there is again a delay of between 5 seconds and 35 seconds.
It has started doing that last week.
I tried factory resetting it today, but I get the same result. I have opened a ticket at HTC, but as it is out of warranty, I don't think they'll be able to help me...
Has anyone ever seen such an issue?
Did you solve this?
I have this problem too and my camera also have delay when i open.
I tried flash the stock RUU,but it's no use.?
No, unfortunately not. HTC support said they could repair it but as it was out of warranty they gave me a quote for several part replacement they might have to do, and it cost the price of a new handset (500 euros for a motherboard replacement) so in the end I went with a new handset
It's so unfortunately.?
I have the exact same issue and from the last weekish or so, and no luck fixing it or finding out what is causing it. Also tried factory reset, safe mode doesn't help. Randomly its ok at times but typically 5 seconds to wake from sleep mode. Ive done no system updates. And yes camera is affected, almost feels like CPU tied up doing something.
running android 9
software 2.20.709.2
kernel 4.4.153
It must be an APP issue causing this, does someone have the issue on a rooted device to see what's using the CPU. Once its out of sleep mode for a bit its all ok and runs normal.

Hi edzilla,
Did you try another ROM, or does anyone with the HTC u11+ not have this issue and if so what ROM/stock version are you on?
I believe I was on the latest update when it happened, and that that there wasn't any update before it started happening.
ill try rooting/aftermarket rom later to confirm if its hardware.
i downgraded back to android 8 RUU and the issue is still there. i have not tried non stock rom yet but this seems like a hardware issue with the screen or CPU once its in full sleep mode. is anyone running a decent alternative rom i can try?
Anybody found a solution? Like with a different ROM? Or confirmed it is hardware?
I have the same. Came out of the blue. First it was draining the battery. That has stopped now. But since a couple weeks, huge delay when starting. Up to 25sec.
Thought it was an app. So did a hard reset, wiped everything. But even without any apps installed, still the same delay when starting from standby.
Android 9
software 2.19.401.2
kernel 4.4.153
Is it worth putting a different ROM? Don't want to waste a weekend...
So maybe better directly getting a new phone? Any thoughts?
Thank you!

I couldn't find a good rom to try and never found a fix for the slow wake issues.. still happens in safe mode so not an app. Most likely hardware.. gave to my daughter who can deal with the issue better than me.

Mi Mix 3 Bootloop after screen replacement

Hi, I'm new to the forum and to mobile operating system troubleshooting in general. I'm hoping to gain some insight into an issue I'm having.
I broke the screen on my mi mix 3 and after waiting for 2 months it finally arrived from Shenzhen. Yesterday I disassembled the phone, connected the new screen, turned it on, and it just went into a bootloop. I've never changed any part of the operating system on the phone before so I just assumed something was making a poor connection. I unplugged all the leads and plugged them back in again, checked that everything was firmly in place, and ended with the same result.
Fastboot will run sometimes for 10+ minutes and then the phone will just shut off, normal booting it will switch from "Mi" to "MIX" and the animation at the bottom of the screen will freeze after a couple clicks and it will loop back to restarting (but twice it has just ended with an all white screen). Rebooting from Mi Recovery mode results in the same.
From what I've seen I'll just need to follow this and flash the phone : https ://c.mi .com/thread-2504118-1-1.html?t=1590725045909
But my question, is there any possible way to try to fix this issue without loosing all my data and without using a back door method that may just brick the phone?
Thanks for any help, btw I still have the back glass off (I've tried with the fingerprint scanner plugged in, nothing) just in case it could somehow be a hardware issue.
So I've given up on trying to save my data, I don't really care much about that to be honest. I just really like this phone and would like to use it. I tried to flash the phone using Miui's official instructions but I can't unlock the bootloader because I can't download the app Miui's flash tool is requiring me to download on the phone to authorize it.
I guess I'll keep looking for a work around.

I changed my display too and it's bootlooping. Did you solve this problem?
I changed my Display too...everything worked fine when I tested it. I unplugged it again to clean the phone and to bring on the glue..when I had the Screen on I restarted and had a black screen...so tried to remove the screen which then just broke...so I ordered a new one and a new display flex cable - I didn't glue the screen yet because I either experience black screens when the screen gets pushed against the backplate or the phone ends in a bootloop -> for the bootloop thingy I just waited for about 10 minutes and then it started normally so there must be something with replacement screens...I don't know whats going on -.-
Hi
Has anyone managed to get this fixed?
The screen works initially but after a while it goes blank, reboot I get the Mix logo not mix 5G. The replacement is a LCD.
Looks like it is stuck in bootloop as inserting sim does phone does not ring when I call it nor front face camera clunk when I slide it
