oneplus one

with the oneplus approach to marketing, i wonder if the phone will be obsolesced by the time they've sold enough to profit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I don't think we in the states are the main targets for their devices. I believe their primary focus is on Asia, Europe and South America. Places where it's been a long standing practice to buy phones outright, independent of the carriers bundling them with plans or long term contracts. Another similar manufacturer that comes to mind with a similar marketing strategy is Blu. They too have an almost non-existent presence in the states, but are one of the most popular brands in Latin America by offering last year's top of the line technology at this year's middle of the road prices.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
This is very true, though I'm not from the places that Ody stated, I too live in an area that it is wiser to buy a phone that is unlocked and has no carrier. The main reason for this is that we have a prepaid system that is more cost efficient to the majority of our population, where our networks only exist at the 2G and the more recent 4G (not real 4G I think, just the HSDPA+)

In this world our technology is developing so fast it's become a monopoly that targets the incessant want to have the latest and the greatest, and that is directly linked with the devices we carry around, whether it's our laptops, phones, cars and televisions. I think that most companies now hold back a generation of new technology when they attain it just to build hype, so that when a new device comes out, there will be a rush. Not to mention the many variations of the same device that we see. Look at the Galaxy S2 and S3. Why so many versions? Some would argue that with new technology there will be upgrades, and I agree with that. But the time gap is just too small, in my opinion.

The S5 just came out, same thing with the G3. They both had the Snapdragon 801, until now. The 805 has been released. Now there are "prime" devices being built and released. S5 gets a bumped up screen and both devices get the 805 chip.

(I'm ranting too much)

It would be a liability to take a phone on contract. I keep thinking about a recent addition to my family through marriage, he still has a Blackberry 8520 because it's on contract. Claims that he doesn't use 'fancy features' on his device, but I think when he upgrades he'll see what he's missing out on..

But the availability of these newer devices are limited to those who have the resources to bring them to their door, most times. And that is quite costly.

If I had to purchase a brand new HTC One M8, it would cost me about $5,000 TTD, give or take a few hundred dollars (NB $6.50 TTD to $1 USD)

And if we took it on contract, prices wouldn't be too much different, and the bundles we have are pretty limited and expensive. It's why I stick to Wi-Fi all the time, figured I would just do without data packages.

I assume the situation is almost the same in the other countries. (okay the rant is over)

This is why we need Ara.

Swap out a part.

Modular is the future.

I just hope everybody else see's that.

S-ON Question

Okay so I've been S-Off for some time now and I was wondering..... Are there any perks to being S-ON? Maybe like never being able to brick or something along those lines?

And if so, is there a way to get back to S-ON from S-OFF?

These might be noob questions but I was getting curious.

Also, is there a way to undo SuperCID?

[MENTION=5463522]Odysseus1962[/MENTION] I know you said your device was S-ON when you had it, maybe you can enlighten me.

Answers and opinions from everybody are welcome and accepted. Thanks in advance :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
There's only an advantage to S-on with the T-Mobile version of the Amaze. The is because all of the stock based ROMs use it as a base, so the radio baseband, cid, mid are compatible already. Anyone running a variant Amaze has to be s-off to run such ROMs or they'll bootloop. The problem is in order to flash JB basebands on devices that only had GB one needs s-off to flash it and a compatible kernel.

Unfortunately, s-off does expose ALL partitions to be written to if one isn't careful, so low-level file or partition corruption even those used by Android itself is enhanced. For example, I don't think I recall a post of someone hardbricking their s-on device. I suppose it's possible, but I don't recall it. Neither do I recall seeing anyone corrupting their emei with s-on. Basically, s-on write protects certain partitions that even adb or 4ext with smartflash enabled can't write to.

Got my device yesterday and boy do I love it :D

It's the OnePlus One. A huge jump from the HTC Amaze :D

CM11S, amazing battery life and overall hardcore performance all at that low price.....

Truly something to behold.

The only issue I have is a little insecurity because our amaze is almost 11 grams heavier (slight difference, but very noticeable) But still, this device... It's great.

Before anybody asks for invites, I should let you know that I don't have invites yet, and when I do get invites, I already have people to give them to. If I get more invites than I know what to do with, I'll let you people know :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
I have also upgraded to one x+ 64GB but the problem I am facing is camera...

Amaze had a great camera and the captured images were of size 4+ MB and now on one x+ it's only of 0.5-1.5+ MB ...which shows the quality of pixels captured ,which are very low compared to amaze.

And on xda there is very less support in one x+ section..I guess hardly 1-2 guys are helping out newbies comin to this device...which is disappointing.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rdar_93:
Wow that means our old Amaze had one super awesome camera then because the OnePlus One's pictures are only like 0.7mb - 3mb in size

Also, I didn't think that the HTC One X+ would be too much different in terms of software and hacking, but it looks like I'm wrong.

I guess the devices with the best forums are the flagships,
[HTC Amaze 4G] sam@xda29:
Well actually apart from camera ...

The wight is 135 gmwhich is lower than 160 gm, screen resolution which is HD , Sense 5/4.2.2 android officially, 1.7 Quad core,etc

Which is good in the one x+ ofc..just camera is danm low but the front camera is awesome I guess...

Lol Yeah, HTC has great devices (from the Sensation go up)

I always liked how the OneX+ was designed.

We're around just playing with our other toys or reading the other forums pertaining to those toys. I personally have been on a ROM testing binge. I've tried 7 new aosp based ROMs in the last 2 weeks. It's a shame that CyanogenMod hasn't updated to KitKat kernel sources for my G2. So if I want the latest "official" CM11 I need to downgrade to older JB baseband. However several "unofficial" ROMs from clever devs to try out. So far my faves are Mahdi and Vanir. Using Mahdi with ART enabled as I type this.

I wish all still here helping to update the Amaze much luck and success!!!!

Well it's been over 3 weeks since I first received my Oneplus One, and all I can say is wow!!! What a f***ing awesome handset!!! The latest CyanogenMod OTA cured a minor issue I was having with touch screen sensitivity, and with occasional lockups taking photos in RAW mode. I've gotten used to it's size, but could never in a million years picture owning anything bigger. Battery life is amazing (no pun intended) I'm averaging around two days use per charge with the phone being used often throughout the day for work. Without a doubt the best $364 I ever spent on a communication device. Thanks [MENTION=4782862]rdar_93[/MENTION] for the invite. I hope to receive my invite to give soon, so I can share the love. The only problem is to whom shall I give it to, as everyone who's seen it and finds out its cost wants one too. Decisions, decisions..... lol!!!

[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
The Oneplus One is far and away the best "bang for the buck" (value for the cost) of any handset currently on the market. It was launched as a "flagship killer" by Chinese startup Oneplus last April and reviews all over the net including Tom's Hardware, Anandtech, and Ars Technica have been glowing.

It sports a 5.5 inch screen, quad-core Qualcomm 801 processor clocked to 2.5GHz, 3GB of RAM, ample storage (16 or 64 GB), a 13MP rear camera, and 5MP front camera. Plus it comes from the factory with CyanogenMod-11s as the default OS. Size-wise it's only slightly thicker than the iPhone 6+, but is narrower and shorter. Finally, it's 3100mAh battery gives it several days usage on one charge. I've gotten up to 12 hours screen time with it set to the balanced power profile.

Because of limited supply and marketing budget they have been available for purchase only through an "invitation" system, so many early adopters were developers who got the first invites. This makes for a healthy aftermarket of user developed firmware for it, and very active forums both here and on the Oneplus site.

The icing on the cake is its very low price point. The white 16GB version sells for only $299 and the black 64GB version sells for an incredibly low $349. As you can see this price point is around 1/2 that of the other handsets it's competing against, which makes it a tremendous value.

I hope this helps clarify things.

Ok, i see.

It's got whopping 64 GB for such a low price ‼‼

It's a good phone (on the GSMArena Specifications)

but there are just a few disadvantages:

Battery - Not Changable

The Andorid-Version is 4.4.2

No MicroSD

...but 4k Videorecording!

How to offer such a good device at such a low price!???
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
The battery isn't easily changed but can be done. It requires removing the back cover (which isn't easy to do). However there are several official alternate Oneplus covers (including one made of bamboo), as well as aftermarket covers available on eBay and Amazon, the battery can easily be replaced with the cover off.

It shipped with Android-4.4.2, but since Cyanogen regularly updates (about every other month) it's now up to KitKat-4.4.4-r2 and Lollipop-5.0.2 is in beta testing stage as we speak. Cyanogen and Oneplus have stated that an official Lollipop release will be available sometime in January or early February.

How such a low price? Well for one it's a Chinese startup company with very low overhead. Most devices may be made in China, but the design and marketing staff are in other more expensive countries like US, South Korea, and Germany. Oneplus has spent a minuscule amount on marketing, relying instead on the "invite system" and the Internet buzz it's generated to sell devices. Very cleaver IMHO, as it's gotten far more press than any device sold in such small numbers (only around a million units this year) would have received by conventional means. By selling directly to consumers from their website they've reduced the size of the distribution chain and the number of middlemen (such as retailers) taking their cut in profits.

Oneplus may not be making much money on each One sold, but they've gained market share and established themselves as a manufacturer of high-end devices capable of competing with the big-time players at a fraction of their cost. This will gain them much favor as they begin to expand their product-line this year.

I hope this helps.
