It’s finally happened, my OnePlus has been through with me thick and thin, but this is the second time a screen has broken. The first was a major break, this time it’s just a row of dead pixels, it was really dim until I did a dead pixel repair program, that seemed to make it worse by unlocking whatever pink hell this is and making it fully kill the line of pixels. IDK. This is a OnePlus 8 pro, the one I got before they killed software support only 3 years in and the last “root friendly” one they made.
Think it’s worth it to get another whole screen and attempt a repair? Or rather sell it as is and try to get an upgrade.
End of an era I swear
Dumb question, but is that pink line in a screenshot? Or did you add it in afterwards or take a well cropped photo?
No lmao no worries, I added it in post roughly around where it is. I just didn’t have a second phone to take a photo with

Yeah, I’m confused about that as well. It wouldn’t show up in a screenshot if it was a display issue?
since you don’t have another phone, I think the risk is too high to repair it. It’s the best option for sure (for the planet and for your wallet), but if it breaks you don’t have a phone at all.
That being said, if you want to learn how to repair phones, you can live with loosing the money for the screen and if you can live without a phone for some days in the worst case, I think you should still go for it. It’s a great skill for the future.
I mean I’ve definitely got the skill, I’ve been doing it for years now, I just don’t know if it’ll be worth it to repair another phone that has no official software support
Nice going on learning French fren.
Aint no way he has the FreeBSD android theme
Alright with a streak like that I gotta ask. Does Duolingo deserve the hate? How much have you actually learned and can you understand French well enough to listen to French speakers?
To answer your tech question tho. I’d say it’s all up to you depending on your budget if you upgrade or repair.
I’ve had this happen on a OnePlus 6, I replaced the screen but the same thing happened again after 2 weeks. Loved the phone but I decided it’s probably done for and went for Nothing phone, they still feel like the early stage of OP before they turned to shit.
Might look at the nothing phone then
I don’t have useful advice, but like another commenter wanted to say keep kickin ass at the French! 😊
Hi Mike!
Ay nice Duolingo streak
Hey Mike, je suis fier de toi ! Prends ton honorable baguette 🥖 et continue dans ta lancée !
It was extremely concerning to suddenly have this image on my screen while scrolling, especially in full width picture mode.
