Oneplus 7T and 7T Pro

On a side note, the 7T Pro is completely borked!! Turned the phone off a couple of days ago with 65% charge. I couldn't turn it on now, battery completely dead. Charged it to 30%, took the photo above and the battery dropped to 1%. It's completely fcked. I'm hoping it's just a faulty battery and not something more sinister....

They haven't really specified. I'm guessing before the end of the month but don't quote me...

EDIT: Oh wait, I see a note to say estimated delivery 19th July, that's tomorrow a month....

Seems in a game you swipe down from top right or left corner and game tools menu will appear. you access window from there.

theres a little tab at the top of the floating window, you can move that to the edge of the screen and it will minimise there. will also stay there after the game is closed if you want to use it while doing something else.

I'll pop in tomorrow sometime perhaps. Get a quote and take it from there. Meanwhile my 7T Pro seems to be behaving now. Not seeing that ridiculous battery drain any more. I'm wondering if the issue has anything to do with my fast charging cable from Temu? Might cause erratic battery behaviour?

Original cables are expensive. Very expensive but guess what? They worth every cent. I got a box full of charging cables to prove it! So annoying!

So just dropped off the phone for battery replacement. R450 to install. About R100 more than I'd be happy paying but as long as they do a decent job....

So far so good. What I just noticed is the replacement batteries have OnePlus branding on them. Interesting.

Home with the device. Charging her up to 100%, we will see how it drains but given that this is no longer my default device it won't be easy to make a like for like comparison.

Fitment looks sound although there's a bit of dry glue and residue on the screen protector. Nothing that won't buff out.
