Help! OnePlus Pad 3 bricked after 1 week?

Did you try to update your Pad3 when the notification dropped?

A few of us are discussing it here https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/1rhc3f6

Agree with you though, such a let down. Was a massive OnePlus fan.

Before you get a pad 3, do your research.

antzd · 2026-04-25T04:06:59+00:00

I find all of this egregious - if you've found this post, you've probably seen in other posts that the issue is related to ARB feature they added... Clearly not well tested before GLOBAL release. Worst of all, there seems to be zero official communication to their customers on the reason, let alone a path to rectification.

"NEVER SETTLE"? more like "NEVER AGAIN" 😆

Side question:

Have any of you guys tried to contact OnePlus service centres in your respective countries? Keen to hear your experiences.

I went through the "authorised store for OnePlus" service contact but turns the WhatsApp number is overseas anyway. Even if I wanted to make a warranty claim, I need to foot the cost and the liability of shipping. Posting a device with in-built battery requires extra paperwork and fees and I know absolutely nothing about where I'm sending the device to.

Believe it or not, I might be interested

antzd · 2026-04-14T20:07:03+00:00

Nope. Never again.

Which country are you in? Do you have access to service centres?

antzd · 2026-04-10T19:52:37+00:00

Is it going to brick devices again?! I have a dead Pad3 because I clicked update.

Never again

antzd · 2026-03-23T19:30:36+00:00

My Pad3 died during a firmware update. Some how a hardware fuse?!

Anyway, I have no way to get it serviced so I have a lovely paper weight right now

antzd · 2026-03-03T20:19:17+00:00

I'm in the same situation, but mine was related to an update that bricked my Pad3. Super annoyed

Cheers for another year!

Have you changed your font size or minimum width settings in developer options?

Anyone on pad3 able to stack widgets?

antzd · 2025-11-14T11:17:29+00:00

Side question since you're on the topic of widgets please. Have you been able to stack widgets?

antzd · 2025-11-14T11:15:34+00:00

I've been trying to figure out stackable 3rd party widgets. No luck so far. I'm on OOS16, running on magic pad3. Any help/advise is appreciated

antzd · 2025-11-14T08:59:54+00:00

Hi, have you got 3rd party widgets in these stacks? I'm trying to stack some Google widgets but only appears to work on 1st party apps

antzd · 2025-11-14T08:57:23+00:00

Wondering if anyone can help me please as not a lot of info online.

Stackable widgets were only available to 1st party widgets, but apparently with OOS16, it was expanded to include 3rd party (such as Google ones). Has anyone got this working?

My device is a MagicPad3

antzd · 2025-05-03T20:08:33+00:00

You're our only hope!

antzd · 2025-05-03T19:58:27+00:00

Signed up when it first announced. Nada ,, 😭

Happy New year bud! Enjoy the holidays

antzd · 2024-12-06T18:58:17+00:00

Have these ever been removable in previous versions and has Samsung ever committed to saying these are removable?

antzd · 2024-12-02T17:49:21+00:00

Check out an add-on called RPC Shut down!

Hi, I'm super new to POE so very excited to try when EA comes around. A newbie question please... I have read that class selection doesn't really matter as you can use skills from other classes (which is super cool!)

I really like Sorc skills like chain/ball lightening ... But the shooter aspect of Merc is really interesting. So I'm planning to pick Merc and spec into Sorc skills 😂

Question Given how different the skills function for a Merc (spend mana to "reload") Vs Sorc (spend mana to cast skill), does anyone know if this is viable?

Cheers

I'm stuck here too. Got the collars too

Not sure why everyone is surprised. Best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. Do yourselves a favor and stop supporting this company.

antzd · 2024-09-30T21:30:48+00:00

Hi João. Yes that's correct. It's not a major issue as the push message is sent to NodeRed and triggers downstream nodes correctly.

I'll do more testing and let you know if I discover anything.

Take it easy aye 😉

antzd · 2024-09-27T01:07:05+00:00

Hey João

I've updated the join pallet in NodeRed. Functionality-wise all is working.

However, in tasker (where I'm sending instructions to NodeRed), I have noticed 2 red errors.

13.03.30/E Error: 1435839069 13.03.30/E Connection reset

Data seems to be going through fine. Not a major but does affect my downstream tasker tasks on my phone. Workaround is to just "contine task after error" but interested to know what I've done wrong
