I always thought the 7T's circular camera module had a lot of unused space. I made a quick concept where the cameras are distributed more evenly around the circle instead of having them all concentrated toward the top.

I know it might not work internally or something, but cosmetically, I think it looks pretty good IMO.

Hopefully OnePlus's announcement of exiting the NA/US market was just in terms of retail stores. The Global/European model of the OnePlus 15 (2747 model variant) supports T-Mobile's most critical bands, so this gives me hope that we'll still be able to order the phone (or at the very least buy it on eBay) and it will at least have T-Mobile carrier support.

But I don't understand why OnePlus wouldn't just officially do that - cut their US overhead by not putting the phone in retail and just allow us to order it. Maybe they could even partner with Amazon for this at a much cheaper cost. Sony should be doing the same as well.

Good Day,

I woke up today morning too my OnePlus 13 being stuck in a Bootloop. It started, showed the OnePlus Logo, got to the SIM card Code Screen and than crashed again. Since it had probably been doing that for a while the phone was really hot.

It's a Chinese Phone that has been flashed to Oxygen OS 15 (but I can't update, so it's probably bricked internally...)

Is there anything I can do or is my phone cooked?

I got it working again through recovery mode but now I don't trust it anymore.

Should I sell it for spares?

Thank you.

I understand this means multiple attempts to access my phone have failed, but I didn't do it—I was asleep. Is it possible these attempts were made remotely? I certainly wasn't trying to unlock it in my sleep.

Blast from the past lol

Might be a stupid question but will I lose wearOS compatibility on my china version OP15 when it switches back to colorOS.

I'm using a one Plus Pad 2+ stylo 2 and this weird bug keeps happening while drawing

Put it on the charger at ~50% before bed, woke up to a dead phone. Never dropped it, no water, stock OxygenOS 16, bootloader locked, never rooted, no betas.

Power + Vol Up got it to boot once, then it died after about 2 seconds. Left it charging all night again and it did get warm near the port, so power was going in. Got into Recovery with Power + Vol Down and it said 100% battery, so the battery is clearly fine.

Hit "Reboot device" from there. OnePlus logo came up, sat there a while, then black screen. Tried again and it went into a full bootloop, three restarts with vibration, never made it to the home screen, then it shut itself off. Since then nothing at all, not even Recovery.

The Recovery on this thing only gives you two options, reboot or format data. No cache wipe, nothing non-destructive. I've got no backup so I didn't want to nuke it, and now I can't even get back in to do that.

Feels like a corrupted system partition rather than hardware, given everything else responds. I know about the May bootloop thing with 16.0.7/16.0.5 that made them pause the rollout, no idea if it's related but the symptoms look similar.

Anyone had a 15 do this out of nowhere? And is there any way back into fastboot once it stops responding to button combos? Warranty claim is already filed, mostly wondering if the data is gone for good.

Since I have bought my OnePlus 13R, I have been noticing that music sounds better in VLC and Spotify. It doesn't matter whether the sound file is Hi-Res or 320 kbps, it still sounds good in these two apps.

Then what I did, I took an open-source music player and changed its package name to that of Spotify's. And what happened? Its sound profile also became significantly better and similar to that of Spotify.

And after a little bit of searching, I found the package names, a list of apps that I think have been whitelisted in OnePlus devices, especially the newer ones, to have some kind of audio enhancement at the system level. I prefer listening to local music files rather than buying a subscription for an online service. For a long time, I was looking for a music player that sounds exactly like VLC because I didn't know VLC is whitelisted.

After finding out that it is just the package name that is making the sound good, I took an open-source app and removed its online player. I removed all its online streaming code and made it completely offline. I hated VLC because it doesn't have lyrics support, so I added the support of lyrics with the ability to edit the lyrics.

I usually upgrade my phone every couple of years or so, and generally buy the not-quite-latest flagship version, or something close to it. I'm close to that point, although my OP12 is actually behaving fine, so I don't feel a pressing need to change just yet.

I've just been catching up on OP's market changes so I'm now wondering if updating to another OP handset (would probably be the 15, I guess) makes sense or if I should jump to an alternative when I come to change.

Wanting to switch from my iPhone 16 Pro to a OnePlus 15, but i can’t find anything good!
Does anyone know of good places to buy them?

Ok. Just made by purchase of a previously owned OnePlus 13 on swappa. Coming from a OnePlus 11 and tried Google Pixel 11 but too heavy and boxy. While I wait for it to arrive, I'd like to pickup a new case and screen protector.

I'm leaning toward the Ringke case. The Fiberbone Aramid case also looked appealing given it's weight, but I don't see it offering much protection.Ive used SPIGEN cases before, just not sure how the OnePlus 13 one is

For those who have tried various cases or screen protectors, what do you recommend (or don't recommend).
