Ever since I bought my OnePlus 7t back in November 2019, I've been having issues with random shutdowns after charging it.
I've contacted OnePlus support numerous times and after about 1 month of emails, they refferred me to L2 support to do a remote session. It's been 2 months now I've been exchanging emails with L2 support.
They always ask me to provide a time suitable to do a remote session and when I give it to them (and I give a bunch of dates to be sure we'lll find something that works), they NEVER get back to me in time, usually it takes them about
10days to respond something like, "oh, we're sorry we couldn't make it , please provide us another time that works for you".
I am so frustrated it with this I decided to copy-paste my whole email correspondence below, to show everyone how
INCOMPETENT OnePlus Support is, at least in South East Europe (and I'm not talking about individual people, who could be doing their best as far as I know, I'm talking about the whole support organization). This is beyond ridiculous and I'm really furious. I would have never bought a OnePlus phone (7t by the way is fantastic otherwise, but that's beyond the point) if I knew this is the kind of response I would get. So, for everyone else
BEWARE.
(obviously correspondence below is in reverse order)

Dear OnePlus support,
Are you ever going to notify me about which timeslot will be used for the remote session I asked for?
It's been a full week without any reply.
This doesn't seem to work. Please let me know what timeslots you have available and I will choose the one that suits me.
Or should I just give up and return my phone for replacement?

Dear OnePlus Support
as was expected, as soon as I wrote my previous email, my phone started again to have random shutdowns.
So I am afraid I will have to go through the remote session after all.
I am available all this week from 18:30-21:30 UTC+2
Please let me know a time slot that also workd for you.
Please also let me know in case this ticket was closed and I need to raise a new one.

Dear OnePlus support,
thankfully it has been a while that my OnePlus 7t has not randomly switched off and seems to be working fine.
Given that, and since it appears it is very difficult to get a timely response in order to organize a remote session, I think I would like to save myself the trouble of going through that process.
I can only hope that my new phone has now stabilized and will no longer shut down with no apparent reason.
In case this reappears, I suppose I will have to raise another ticket and see if we can resolve the issue then.
I am sorry to say that the level of support provided is far below adequate.

Dear OnePlus support,
again it's been a while (6 days this time) with no feedback from your team.
When are you going to finally start solving this issue?
It has now been more than a month from my original request and I still have the saem problem without a solution in sight.
I've had a couple of trouble-free days where I thought maybe this has somehow stabilized but my phone just decided to shut down only 5mins ago.

Dear YYYYYYYYY,
Thanks for getting back to me.
For the record I would like to point out that this is the first time I've heard back from OnePlus support, so I don't know what you are referring to in your response. I have not received any response asking me to send my details for a replacement (and I have checked my spam and deleted folders); otherwise I would not have used that tone in my previous email.
Having said that, I am glad you responed.
My details are as follows:
...........
Before deciding on a remote flash or straight replacement, I would like to know the following:
- How will a remote flash take place? Will I need to connect to a PC? How long will it take?
- If the remote flash fails or the problem persists, I assume I will still be getting the replacement, right?
- If I choose a replacement, what is the process?
Thanks,

Dear OnePlus support
this is the third email I am writing to you about this case. It has now been 15 days since I first contacted you and I have not received any reply whatsoever yet.
Needless to say this is unacceptable. Please get in contact and provide a solution as soon as possible.
In the meantime my phone keeps having the same issue and even though in the previous days it seemed to have stabilized a bit with having only one abrupt shut down per day, today I have had it shut down 4 times already in little less than 8hrs.
I cannot stress enough how frustrating this is. I paid €600 for a working phone, not one that works when it wants, and no support whatsoever.
You will be hearing from me about this in oneplus forums as well, rest assured.

It has now been 5 days since I placed a support request with no reply so far.
Since then I have upgraded my phone to Oxygen 10.0.6.HD65BA and even did a factory reset.
However the phone just shut down for no apparent reason this morning when I had just charged it up to 96%.
I hope you understand that this is not a working phone. As I said I need an urgent solution by tomorrow. I have an important trip coming up for which I need a new phone that works.
I trust that this time you will find the time to actually respond to my request as so far I am VERY DISAPPOINTED both with getting a phone that doesn't work and not getting any support.
