OnePlus Support

I just wanted to document my experience so that others can make an informed decision when purchasing a OnePlus product. First my OnePlus One was a great phone. I've never had an issue with it. The OnePlus Two is not nearly as nice. After 2 months of owning it the home button/fingerprint sensor died completely. I decided to make a warranty claim to have it fixed.

My ticket began on 1/9/16 with instructions on trying to re-add my fingerprint and make sure my device had the latest OS on it. I had already told OnePlus the button was dead/non-responsive and I had factory reset and updated to the latest OS. So this was a wasted correspondence.

The next day, 1/10, I was asked to book a remote session with a level 2 service technician. They were completely booked out for 9 days. I booked the date for 1/19 and downloaded the requested files.

On 1/19 I had the remote session and the technician did not appear to know what he was doing. Nothing got resolved but I was asked to book another appointment. There were no appointments for remote sessions available so I had to wait until 1/20 to schedule the appointment.

On 1/20 I was able to book another appointment for 1/29.

On 1/22 the OnePlus support sent me an email asking if I had booked an appointment. I responded and I told them I did.

On 1/26 I received this:
Just wondering if you've had a chance to review the latest update from Enrico?

I never received any communication from Enrico, and I responded stating this and asked them not to close the ticket.

On 1/29 about 5 minutes before my second remote session I was emailed and told the Technical support specialists have exhaused every option and the session was no longer required. They then told me to wait 24-48 hours for a RMA authorization.

On 1/30 I was asked for my contact information and I replied with it.

On 1/31 I received my RMA instructions.

On 2/1 I received my RMA shipping label. I mailed out the phone immediately.

On 2/5 I received this:

I never received any update.

On 2/13 I was asked by email if I had shipped the package and if I had the tracking number. They already had the tracking number since they gave me the shipping label and they had the phone for 10 days already. I replied yes and gave him the tracking info.

The next week, I can't recall which day I started a live chat and asked where my phone was and if it was being returned. I was told it was still at the repair facility and it was being worked on currently. It was due to ship soon. The same day I received the phone back from the repair facility.

I didn't get a chance to open the box until 2/18. The repair report said the screen was replaced and did not mention anything about the home button that was non-responsive. The home button did work now though. I noticed the charging port no longer held the charging cable securely, this was a new issue. I inserted my sim card and the phone would not receive any reception. I tested my card with another phone and there were no issues with it. I promptly emailed the http://ift.tt/1lZIs4k about the issue.

I did not hear back and began a live chat on 2/19. I was told I needed to provide OnePlus with the repair report stating the screen replacement. I provided the report immediately.


On 2/20 I was told my issue was high priority and I needed to confirm sending my phone into the repair facility. I replied as asked if I was required to get my phone repaired or if I could get a replacement.

I did not hear back by 2/24 so I began another live chat was was told my issue was now going to be upgraded to urgent priority and I should wait 24-48 hours for a response.

On 2/26 I did not hear back yet so I began another live chat. I was told to wait 20-30 minutes for a reply.

I did not hear back in 3 hours so I began another live chat. I was told I needed to send pictures of the phone to the repair team. I did immediately and was told to wait another 24-48 hours.

So here I am, with a useless OnePlus 2. I've sent emails 4 days in a row to the "RRR" team who is supposedly handling my situation and I have not received any response.

The whole process is extremely upsetting.

I hope this helps some other people decide whether or not to purchase an item from OnePlus.
