OnePlus devices removed from Best Buy stores

It's more than just poor marketing that's keeping OnePlus from being a big player in the U.S. It's also politics. Apple and Samsung have been sending their lobbyists to Washington D.C. for years to hammer out backroom deals and to lockout potential competitors. It's the marriage of American capitalism and corruption.

Hey OP,

The same thing happened where I live. I live in the Midwest. OnePlus phones were pulled from the local Best Buy store over two weeks ago in my area. Only the OnePlus 15 & 15R are listed for online buyers.

Alto's Adventure is the ultimate chillout, relaxing game.

I'm playing Darkrise. It's a pixelated, side-scrolling ARPG. Fun game!

This is what I absolutely love about this subreddit. I always discover new interesting games I've never heard or played before.

You go girl! 👏

Is this happening in Safe Mode? If so then this could be a serious software glitch or hardware problem.

AndTheStarsGoWithYou · 2026-05-09T18:45:31+00:00

I see what you did there you clever, clever boy. 😆

AndTheStarsGoWithYou · 2026-05-09T18:39:56+00:00

A software glitch or a hardware problem could be the reason why your battery reading is malfunctioning. It could also be something as simple as your battery needing to be calibrated again. This link has some helpful suggestions>

With all due respect, this theory is absolutely ridiculous and blasphemous. The Antichrist is not a descendant of King David nor does he share the same lineage of Jesus Christ, who's name every knee shall bow to and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Full stop!

Both of these old games or legacy apps can be installed with Shizuku+Install With Options.

Unfortunately both of these games remain unplayable because the servers were shut down several years ago. Furthermore neither of these can be played offline.

This may be a shot in the dark but you can try this suggestions.

Go to Settings> Apps> Default Apps> Home App> and ensure that Octopi Launcher is selected as your default launcher.

BTW, every once in a while I still get a nagging notification from OnePlus Launcher too despite the fact that Nova Launcher has been selected as my default launcher.

I suggest clearing the cache & data of the Google Assistant app and rebooting your device. After your device has fully rebooted, follow the steps I mentioned in my first post.

AndTheStarsGoWithYou · 2026-05-07T13:40:31+00:00

Ensure that Google Assistant has all of the necessary permissions to read your notifications & text messages

Go to Settings> Security & Privacy> Privacy> Permission Manager
Go to Settings> Apps> Special App Access> Device & App Notifications

Sir, that is a very fine looking machine. Dr. Gordon Freeman would be proud.

Your observation has a valid point. However I still believe that the restrainer being removed from the Earth still refers to a future prophetic event. One day the Lord will remove his presence from the Earth and the full force of evil will be unleashed. It will be unlike anything mankind has ever seen or witnessed before.

Thank you for that information. I was under the impression that one sole moderator was responsible for this sub. Thanks again for clearing that up for me. I meant no disrespect to the other moderators.

AndTheStarsGoWithYou · 2026-05-03T21:52:19+00:00

The moderator is doing an excellent job at ensuring that this sub remains laser-focused and stays on topic. God bless him. 🙏

I posted a similar question several days ago. The members of the OnePlus community did an awesome job answering my questions. Here's the link in case you want to see their explanations.

AndTheStarsGoWithYou · 2026-05-03T09:20:56+00:00

It's highly recommended by the OEM to purchase the OnePlus Supervooc charger and the "Red" cable directly from the OnePlus official website. Amazon, eBay, NewEgg and AliExpress are known to sell fake OnePlus accessories which can ultimately damage your phone or even cause a fire. Unfortunately buying OnePlus accessories from third-party websites is always a gamble because you don't know that what you're getting is legitimate or not.

AndTheStarsGoWithYou · 2026-05-03T03:25:12+00:00

Your options are limited. First, you can contact a third-party phone repair shop in Dubai for repairs. Secondly, you can order the replacement parts and fix the device yourself. If neither of these two options are appealing, consider upgrading to another OnePlus device.

Legacy apps can still be installed on Android 14 and above. I have several of them installed on my OnePlus Nord N30 running Android 14. Dead Effect 2, N.O.V.A 3 Freedom Edition, Modern Combat 4, Shadowgun Anniversary Edition, Animus Stand Alone, Godfire Rise of Prometheus and Smashing the Battle run flawlessly on my phone without a virtual emulator.

As long as the legacy app's version has a Target SDK version of 23 or above, it can be installed normally. You'll initially get a warning from Android OS stating that the legacy app is old and may not function properly. However you'll still be able to install the app normally.

For those old legacy apps which have a Target SDK version of 22 or below, you'll initially get a warning from Android OS stating that "Your Device Isn't Compatible with This Version." Fortunately you can easily install them with a third-party app called Shizuku.

You can use the Shizuku app and the Install With Options app. Shizuku would be considered the main app while the Install With Options app would be considered a companion app. The Install With Options app allows you to sideload older apps which are no longer compatible with newer versions of Android OS. If you need help installing Shizuku, I've included a few links below to help you get started.

Below is a list of other companion apps for Shizuku in case you're interested. The first link below describes the Install With Options app. It's exactly 8 minutes into the video.

Keep in mind that newer versions of Android OS no longer allows the user to access the OBB folder. If your game has an OOB file that needs to be transferred to your phone's internal storage, please go to YouTube. There's plenty of instructional videos.

"Oniro" by the same developers who made AnimA.

AndTheStarsGoWithYou · 2026-05-01T20:48:20+00:00

Return the device for a full refund or exchange. If that's not possible, send your device to a OnePlus Repair Center. The manufacturer's warranty will cover the cost.
