No Official Response Yet
These incidents have sparked concern among OnePlus customers, many of whom are calling for the company to address the issue publicly. Consumers are demanding potential remedies, such as free repairs or extended warranties, to alleviate the impact of these malfunctions.
Despite growing discontent, OnePlus has yet to issue an official statement regarding the situation. The lack of response has only intensified scrutiny over the brand’s quality control, with negative user reviews becoming increasingly common.
What To Do If OnePlus Phones Shut Down Unexpectedly
In the meantime, OnePlus has provided some general advice for users experiencing unexpected shutdowns. The company suggests checking if the issue might be related to a specific app by clearing the app's data or uninstalling and reinstalling it. For phones that have automatically restarted or shut down, OnePlus recommends backing up the device's data and reinstalling the system firmware via their official website.
For unresolved issues, OnePlus advises customers to reach out to their customer service for further assistance.
The ongoing situation has left many OnePlus users awaiting a more comprehensive response from the company as they grapple with these unexpected and costly device failures.
