Hello, I'm new to phone modding, and I wanted to know: can I use a battery from another phone on my one plus 2? I have a Motorola phone which has a broken screen, but the battery is just fine. I wanted to know if I can transplant the Motorola battery into my one plus 2.

OnePlus 2: Screen is turning completely off when it has to display new content

Thu, 16 Apr 2020 05:43:24 -0700

Some time ago my OnePlus 2 screen started to malfunction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKoQ_Tuc...

I have tried to reflash ROM etc., nothing seems to fix it and the heavy screen flickering (on high brightness) seems to point to a hardware issue.

I'm currently using another phone, but would like to experiment with the OnePlus 2 since I don't have anything to lose. I'm wondering could baking in the oven (aka solder reflow) in this situation help? If so, what would make more sense - “baking” the motherboard or the display?

OnePlus 2: Where to buy replacement power button?

Thu, 02 Jan 2020 07:09:07 -0700

Couldn't find on eBay, my power button went loose and fell somewhere.

I did manage to overcome the situation by having the volume keys turn the screen on and using double tap on statusbar to sleep, but I'd like to have an actual power button on my phone.

The only listings I found were for the volume + power flex cable, which isn't what I need. If anyone can point me some place that sells the button and ships worldwide, I'll be very glad.

OnePlus 2: Volume rocker doesn't click

OnePlus 2: I need help with information on the LCD

Mon, 11 Feb 2019 10:10:17 -0700

Hey guys,

I have a spare part laying around: IF330-012-1 (to be exact). This can be picked up for around $20 some places and I want to know if there's any data out there about the screen and digitizer assembly. I'm looking to repurpose the panel as a small and portable monitor and would love to find some I formation about the pins on the FPC connector and/or a datasheet on the module.

From what I see it's a 44 pin FPC/FFC connector at the end of the ribbon and is the only interface to the phone when installed.

Thanks!

OnePlus 2: HELP can anyone tell me if this oneplys 2 battery I okay or fake

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 11:59:33 -0700

Hey, my oneplus 2 battery is old and therefore it's not very fast and can not even charge up to 100%, plus loses it quickly again. Therefore, I bought this battery as seen in the pictures below, bought on ebay (know it's not the safest place) but needed one. Have a prayer, is there someone who can tells me if it's a fake and should not put it in or if it's okay.

many thanks in advance

OnePlus 2: No service after repair of screen!

Sun, 25 Mar 2018 17:11:19 -0700

I recently had some cracks in my screen and did a repair with a friend while watching a video on it. After I fixed it I tested a lot of things including my service and called a friend. All was working! But today it has bars but says no service! I reopened it up and disconnected and reconnected the antenna wire, I thought it might have fallen out from being connected improperly. Plugged it back in and get the same issue. It did snow heavily for our area, which is not a lot, and the power went out. But my dad, who has the same carrier, doesn't have any problems with his service!I also had some service earlier today which is even weirder! I sent a message around 9 am pst and retried it around 10:30 and it sent! I sent myself a text from my dad's phone and did not receive it yet! This is very frustrating being my only working phone! I will probably test the sim in another phone soon. I will update post with the info. Thank you in advance!

Quick Update! I have turned mobile data always on and I have a 4g with a ! and some bars. I sent a text a while ago and it sent but cant seem to get another too. About 15 minutes later and a reboot back to no service!

Hello,

My son is having trouble with his phone. He is not receiving or able to send texts/calls.

He will sometimes receive a text but it happens 30+ minutes after it is sent. Also his data is not working. Any help with this would be appreciated.

OnePlus 2: Won't charge while turned on and drops charge

Fri, 16 Mar 2018 05:13:05 -0700

I have had my OnePlus 2 phone for two years now. I haven't had any problems with it until recently. It was charging fine but now it won't charge right. I plug it in to charge and the charging light will come on but then it stops charging. The only way I can get it to charge at all is by turning it off and letting it charge that way. But once I have it charged to 100% and go to use it, it drops dramatically. Like for example it'll be at 100% and if I let it sit there and not touch it it drops down to 80% within 2 minutes. At first I thought it was the charger so I got another but it still did the same thing. I haven't bought a new cord as of yet.

OnePlus 2: Is the power flex cable tethered to the mother board?

Sun, 26 Nov 2017 17:25:03 -0700

I believe the power flex cable for my OPT is ripped, and I need to replace it. I sent it off to the company to be repaired, but they're saying that I need to replace the entire motherboard. But my original technician said that the only issue was a ripped power flex cable...

OnePlus 2: Why does my phones screen get distorted and reboot often?

Fri, 27 Oct 2017 10:51:09 -0700

I have a OnePlus2 phone which after a hard fall on concrete about 8 months back often freezes with bottom half of the display showing coloured lines like the attached image and then reboots automatically . After the reboot the phone is back to normal and touch and features work perfectly, but the battery gets drained by about 10-15%. This happens randomly about around once a week, sometime it happens twice or thrice a day, and sometimes it doesn't happen for weeks. I thought of managing with this, but when I depend on my phone like navigating during a trek, it reboots and gets me into trouble.

I have tried OS updates, factory reset and I also installed a custom ROM and this still happens occasionally. So it definitely looks like a hardware issue

I checked with the OnePlus store and they suggested me to replace the entire display, but I thought it was not worth it as the phone is about 2 years old now and the cost of display also was very high.

What has gone wrong with my display? Does this seem like a minor or a major issue ?

Kindly note that as this happens randomly, I could take the picture myself. I managed to find a similar image on the internet.
