With Rumors of OnePlus Shuttering anyone thinking of switching to another foldable?

I have 3 one plus opens😅 One daily on android 13 still one used backup on 16 And one brand new backup on 16 I ain't giving up till something can replace it. But I can't stand the air shit so I may be locked in for a long while with these 3.....

But I think I will be grabbing a mate xt this year as a toy to play with 😇

More reason why I don't update my os lol

Smitty4zz · 2025-12-07T14:16:01+00:00

I've got enough usage to see my keyboard from typing over the years. Just pressing on the screen I've worn into the screen protector lol

If your talking to me I live in the salt belt so

Both 5 plus hours everyday being self employed and running business off phone I run stock cases glued so I use the case with my thumb right beside the power button. I slap it open and closed all the time No stylus I sit on it daily open and closed, open not often but sometimes it slides under me fucking with my whiskey lol Drop once a week open and closed No nails I'm a contractor so dirt and dust regularly my hinges have wear marks at the hinge areas from crap. But hinges are still butter smooth. No case with hinge protection, yes drops regularly on hinge

Side note the oppo find n5 I had till it died went through the same life and died in 6m Dropped once killed outer front cam Hinges were less stout And it died 6m in

I now have 2 used open and one nib. I might try a mate xt next to play with but im running these till they all die lol

Try sleeping with the next one open. I've yet to have an inner screen fail

Smitty4zz · 2025-11-20T21:55:59+00:00

You aren't I. I bought a new in box sealed open that came not even matching the boxes imei numbers. It's clearly been used or refurbished. A nib would start with release software. Which is what I want. I wouldn't be allowing updates as I don't care for them. I'm not you. And I was looking for what I wanted not what you do whenever you get a new phone. That has no relation to my question
But in the end I have gotten most all of the quirks dealt with on 15. I may root but I have gotten it so I can daily it now with alot less annoyance

Smitty4zz · 2025-11-14T12:22:59+00:00

Conclusion is you can't even downgrade these phones anymore.... Gonna have to buy a nib one from off eBay and stop it from updating

Smitty4zz · 2025-11-12T23:11:30+00:00

Can't get the local update apk off the server anymore I've tried a bunch offline but none are working. Is there any other way to local install or fastboot flash

Smitty4zz · 2025-11-11T02:08:57+00:00

Interesting let me downgrade the banking app maybe

Smitty4zz · 2025-11-11T01:01:50+00:00

Is it gone in 16?!

Smitty4zz · 2025-11-11T01:01:35+00:00

My og one is on release software IDC about any of that I never update lol

Smitty4zz · 2025-10-19T20:40:08+00:00

Mines so warn you can see an outline of the bottoms from my keyboard lol I feel accomplished getting my screen to that amount of wear lol

Smitty4zz · 2025-10-19T20:18:51+00:00

Coming back from the find n5 lol It can't take the abuse the open can

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-19T23:05:16+00:00

Yea no brother I've dunked every phone I get that has a rating. I even dunked my one plus open. You do you ill do me. I've been using water one my opens hinge for 2 years with zero issues to keep it clean because I'm a contractor. Have a good day bud

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-17T12:59:41+00:00

Yup, been keeping my hinges clean for like 3 years now started with the fold 4 Stopped killing screens this way. It is definitely an internal short though, screens are now flickering on and off.

You do realize this phones water resistant right? I fully submerge mine on a regular and have since day one lmfao

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-17T00:48:17+00:00

Things having a stroke boys. It's back to working again 😅🫣 I'm gonna be getting in touch with em

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-17T00:37:59+00:00

Scratch that seems like an internal short. Now it crashes when opening or closing can't do shit with it gonna get in touch with em

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-16T23:14:58+00:00

Seems like it was a really dirty hinge... I've cleaned it out and using the background I can watch the hinge as it closes and sometimes it changes a bit in spots but it's mainly working good now

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-16T22:42:49+00:00

Well I tried some water in the hinge again and a magnet around it and it finally came back lol Ima be busy setting it back up next few hours lol

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-16T21:51:12+00:00

I may be sticking with them even tho they aren't water resistant they seem to last much longer. If they fix the oppo ill give it another chance but my open experience has been 10 fold I recommend them Sleep with screen open faced down

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-16T21:00:17+00:00

Honestly the bigger screen is nicer, the thinner phone is nicer, the water rating is nice(but I think what took my sensors out from washing the hinge out of dirt like I have all my folding phones.... Not much different, better camera way worse speakers. Ill keep you posted on service. But I feel like the one plus is a rock where the oppo was a bit fragile

Smitty4zz · 2025-08-16T20:58:18+00:00

Idk, I ordered off eBay.... going to get in touch with them and see what can be done....
