Not sure what to do with old phone

AzrealNoctis

So, I cracked the screen on my beloved OnePlus 7 pro literally the first day I worked night shift, and after the touch screen started being weird and getting on my nerves, I upgraded to the OnePlus 8 ( nice phone btw, the punch out doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would), but case in point, I now have a cracked OnePlus 7 pro and I have no clue what to do with it. Anyone got some ideas? I cant seem to find any places that will fix it, unless I can still send it to OnePlus and have them fix it.

How cracked is it and the touch screen doesn't work at all?

Nice pendrive. :)

 

But seriously - you can control your phone using MyPhoneExplorer or just by linking to Windows using YourPhone app. If your computer has bluetooth, you can even make phonecalls.

Oneplus still fixes the oneplus3 screens bro.

 

Sell it and someone else can send it in for repair, or send it in yourself and give it to someone?

You could sell for parts on eBay, or if you're feeling adventurous, try to fix it yourself. Otherwise you should look into responsible recycling.

 

OnePlus does offer repair services. According to their replacement part pricing page, the cost is parts + 30 dollars for an out-of-warranty service charge.  For you, that would likely be about $190 (165 + 30 + shipping and taxes): https://www.oneplus.com/support/repair-pricing/details?code=11

you can use it as a great web cam with the rite softwere 

That's a pretty good idea, especially if there's a way to control it remotely (I'm sure there is, I just know of Samsung's solution) from your computer since the display is smashed.

Oh, there totally is. Just search up "phone webcam / security cam" on Google Play, there are a bunch of apps that do it. Here's one on F-droid:https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.dngames.mobilewebcam/

The touch still works, just it likes to misbehave when it's in a bad mood, such as shooting you all the way over to Africa when your trying to zoom in on maps, or smashing the back button at the speed of light
