OnePlus 8 Pro Third Party Case Design Flaw - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Ordered a OnePlus 8 pro case on eBay last week just until OnePlus launched the official ones. When I got it there was an extra hole under the camera for another lens or a flash. I looked at the picture on eBay and sure enough it shows a flash there that the OnePlus doesn't have. I got to looking at some others and they all have it as well. Looked at one I ordered on Amazon and it has it too so I canceled that. What is with all the cases with an extra hole for that flash that doesn't exist?

Oh would have kept it to the case mega thread. It's too do with using wrong renders I would say. Nothing more nothing less.

Ok well I wanted to ask a specific question. So I posted in questions. Not a mega thread that not everyone is going to read through.

Some of us have been reaching out to companies about this. It's undoubtedly OnePlus's fault but hopefully they update the case designs. We have confirmation that Spigen is aware and has/is updating them.
Tudia responded to my inquiry seeming fairly interested and said they would forward to their design team. I think it'll get worked out.

It's not the biggest deal but when all your cases have a random hole or extra large cutout it's kind of annoying.

Same here. I've just ordered a slightly different one which according to the photos is without the extra hole.
Sounds like the case developer's jumped the gun or got some duff info from OP. Love the phone though ?

Looks like the took the OnePlus 7 Pro design and added the new flash and sensor on the left and didn't remove the old flash

you can find them on ebay, you have to search for an I9000 cam but there are alot onthere, you have to allow almost a month for delivery cause it's from Hong Kong for most of them, should be in the mid 20s range on price. comes with the tools as well for some of them. hope that helped
ive still got one for sale. pm me for details.
www.globaldirect.com
They have Cameras for sale But you have to but 3, but the are easy to sell off
So does Alibaba.com but this site is in HongKong and it will 2 weeks for delivery. Also you will have to search within the site
Hope that helps..............
Anywhere to still get one of these. Do you think its possible to use the cam from the SGS II?
Thanks,
Searched ebay for "i9000 camera"

please note that if these are the revision 1 cameras there will be a banding problem with the back camera. This will result in having lines that go across the image and makes it look like crap. I owned a rev1 off for 6 months before selling it because I couldn't deal with the stupid banding anymore

yeah, the one in my post lists these as v2 (you can see it on the ribbon). the link he gave looks like a ver1. $20 bux shipped is a lot better than $50
Thanks guys. I ended up ordering from the below link and got a revision 2 for a few bucks cheaper (took about a week in the mail). Just got it installed and it works like a charm. They should have just put it in stock. SUPER EASY MOD would recommend it to everyone who has a vibrant.

how do you know if you have a rev 1 or rev 2 camera?
Mine is a green-blue PCB with R02 printed on the connector PCB.

What protective case are you going with? (show us pictures)

Sorry, wrong section of the forum.
Thanks slim

I ran a search and didn't see anything. sorry if i missed it.
I just pre ordered my 3S (Verizon-US) today, hoping to get it in my hands in the next couple weeks. We are talking about a big phone here and having any kind of case will obviously add bulk regardless to how minimal like the case mate barely there options.
For those of you who are getting this phone or those of you who already have it in hand, What case are you using/thinking about getting?
I have only dropped one of my phones twice that I can remember so I'm not concerned about getting any kind of otterbox style protection case. I'm pursonally thinking about the white case mate "barely there". I have it for my current thunderbolt and it serves it's purpose, which is to provide minimal protection but enough to prevent small incidents.
if you have a case already, I'd love to see picts.

Redmi Note 4 India version

Hi All,
Now that Redmi Note 4 first sale is through yesterday, wanted a thread to share your flash sale experience and if anyone has received thier unit already?
My order initially was Gold 64GB but got errored out at time of payment. Then got 32gb Gold variant , not without connection issues and hiccups. I also was worried if Flipkart will auto cancel the order. They do it many times. But the wait is over. My order has been shipped from blore and Flipkart States it should be delivered on Friday. I hope since it has already left Bangalore today, it should get delivered soon..
Can't wait to get my hands on it...
Kindly share pics if anyone has received thier unit already and of course your first impressions...Am coming from Redmi Note 3 which was a device which made me use my S6 Edge less.. Believe me it did.. and I use it only for taking pictures.And my RN3 is running 7.1.1 with all AOSP goodness and it's magic..Hope I have same experience with RN4..
What's your story??
free picture upload
I am also in same situation as you. Ordered the Dark Grey 64GB version. It has been shipped from B'lore today morning at 2 am.
It says it will be delivered by Friday.
I hope it has similar development scene as in Redmi Note 3. Hopefully this one also gets LineageOS, RR, etc.
Yup
Wow lucky dude..Got the 4gb one..More than the storage it's the ram part that's attractive with the 64gig.
I got it and missed it at the payment screen... Anyways happy at least got the 32gig one..

That's the most important thing..RN3 was more enjoyable after the AOSP and nougat experience..Hope that happens with the RN4 soon. Also it will free up Ram moving away from MIUI.. having said which, MIUI has come a long way and improved by a vast margin helped by new faster devices. Any day better than Samsung TouchWiz crap...
Do share pics once yours arrive. Cheers
Hoping mine also will be here by Thursday or Friday
With so many 625 phones out there am expecting good development .
Make a wa or tel group also
Btw Is kernel source out ?

Unfortunately it is imprinted. Not sure a light nail polish remover type stuff can remove it. Am worried if I use it it might affect the color. It looks really horrible. Donno why it is left at that huge font...I'm sure some daredevil will come up with solution to remove it for sure as it is a real eyesore..

Thanks, was pretty sure it was but it just looks more similar to the Redmi 4's build which is metal but with plastic at the top and bottom unlike the Redmi Note 4. The SD version looks identical to the MTK version except for the antenna lines, which look plastic on the MTK version but metallic on the SD version.

Huawei Ascend XT2 (H1711)?

havent been on here for awhile but anyways....
So i work at my electronics department at Walmart. beginning of last week we got some new AT&T prepaid phones in for a new mod that we are going to be setting up. well one of the phones was an Huawei Ascend XT2 (H1711). i search, and search for info on this phone and couldn't really find anything about this phone besides being able to download a user guide for this phone.
well i bought one knowing nothing about it what phone, and or chipset it uses etc etc...
To be honest been using it for a day now, and i'm simply amazed of the quality/feel/looks of this phone, and i'm really shocked i can't find anything about this phone anywhere.
have you guys heard anything about this phone?
if this thread is in the wrong place please move it.
I picked one up myself. For my father, but I've been playing with it for the last few days. It's really a decent device..
I haven't been able to find anything on it either.
Thanks for posting about this new phone. I was wondering if there was going to be a successor to the H1611.
How much are the H1711s currently selling for?
freakshow11582, I would recommend pulling your images with the phone IMEI shown and repost them with the IMEI whited out.
I'm not sure I trust CPU-Z as the H1611 is ARM64 and gets reported as ARM architecture by CPU-Z. I'm guessing it's doing the same for the H1711.
Your one image shows 3.76GB free - did you already load up a lot of files into internal storage?
Thanks again for the information and I think this is a perfect place for this thread right now until we see how much interest there is for this model.
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------
I just noticed that the H1711 is smaller at 5.5" vs the 6" H1611.

Will probably be like the H1611. First only Walmart had an overpriced TPU case for $20. Then a few months later other reasonably priced cases showed up for much less. I'd suggest to keep checking eBay.

Huh?
So people that have bought Ascend XT2 H1711, what do you guys think about it?
Seems like just the two of you have the H1711 here so far.
What other phones did you consider in this price range before deciding on the H1711? People who bought the LG Phoenix 2 got updated from M to N, while our H1611s are still on M.
How do you like N and what phone were you using before?

i went to pick up XT to unlock for my uncle. I was paying for it without even knowing i was getting the 2. Came out to be like 120 something. I told the guy the price said 49.88 and talked to a manager and got the phone for 49.99. Came to find out dang AT&T stopped all the unlocking unless you paid 6months of service. Now, i have a good deal on a phone but cant really use it.
You can still use it on any AT&T based MVNO or AT&T itself. Which carrier were you planning to use?

I also have the Phoenix 2 I gave it to my daughter cause she wanted it. And only got this phone cause I was curious about it.. Before this phone I was using LG X power, and zte max xl (zte went to **** and only month old.) for virgin mobile.
Best Buy has the Phoenix 2 for $40 if you want one for yourself .
Loving mine so far, bought 10/13. Only complains are how easy the screen is to smudge and nearly impossible to keep clean. Also since I bought it Ive been laying it camera down on tissues because I don't have a case yet like everyone and don't want to scratch the camera lens. I was wondering if anyone can confirm or verify that the raised ring around the rear camera lens is raised higher than the lens, because to my finger and eye it feels flush, I'm afraid to set it down and scratch the lens.
Also I've messed with just about every setting/option there is on the phone and custom launchers so if anyone has any questions about stuff like that I can probably help.

$120 XT for over the $60 XT, I dont see the advantage. Same screen, same ram and same storage.

I thought the XT is an quad Core phone?

Able to get the included case for the 6t?

As per the title anyone knows where I can buy another of the included case? I really really like how it looks and feels in the hand.
Also if it's possible to get the stock or something close to the included screen protector.

Maybe from OnePlus directly? Ebay for sure.
This link has the or case that came with the phone.

I don't think OnePlus site has the case listed and on eBay I've had no luck, maybe it's a region thing
Sorry I know I seen them on there a bit ago or maybe it was another site I'll look in my history cause I said the same thing. The free case is the best looking so far for the phone and I went looking to find backups for when I kill off the 1st one.
Go to tmobile and tell them you need the case for the display, if you had any insured otterbox/other cases on the account they wont care and they will just give it to you
