I've had my OnePlusOne for awhile now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I've had a Galaxy S2 thru and including the S5 plus a couple early HTC devices.

This OnePlus is an excellent device especially for how little it cost. You really can't go wrong with it.
[General Topics] Planterz:
I was leaning very heavily towards getting an LG G2, but the more I think about it, I think the OnePlus One is the better choice. Honestly, the only thing that is holding me back is the size. I want something with a bigger screen, which the OPO obviously has, but it's so significantly larger than the G2 for having only a .3" screen size increase. OTOH, I do prefer off-screen buttons (part of the reason the OPO is so much bigger).

You say you had a Galaxy S5. 5.1" screen. Would you say that the extra screen size of the OPO is noticeably significant? I'd be using it for eBooks, browsing, games, etc. I briefly had a Note 3, but I didn't do much of anything with it; not really enough to form an opinion. Plus it was a 5.7" screen. Maybe I'll have to head over to a cell phone store or Best Buy or something and compare some phones side-by-side.

I hope Saygus makes a phablet in the future.
[General Topics] s8freak:
Yes I still have my S5 and when the wife comes home with her note4 I'll post a pic for you side by side with the screens on.

I love the amoled screen on Sammy devices but actually the screen on the OPO is better than sufficient.

Personally I like the size of the OPO it just fits my hand perfect but I have fairly large hands though.

I don't like the feel of my wife's Note4 at all.

I think you'd like the screen size on OPO
[General Topics] Planterz:
Short memory, I guess; I had temporarily forgotten your previous moniker.

I liked the size of the Note 3 in hand naked - it felt "just right", but with a case on (Incipio Dual Pro), it was too wide. If I do go with a OnePlus One, it's a couple hairs thinner than the Note 3, plus I'll probably put it in a Diztronic. So I hope this combination will fit me well. Height is pretty much irrelevant to me.

Yeah, I think I'll be going with a OnePlus One. I can always resell it if it's not the "One" for me.
[General Topics] s8freak:
For the money you can't go wrong it's a fantastic device with a ton of features for a good price. The Sandstone black literally feels like felt in the hand. It's quite unique in my most humble opinion.

All I have on mine is an Orzly tempered glass screen protector.

It's such a solidly built device I'm comfortable without a case.

G3 has the same size screen as the OPO but a smaller footprint over all. not to mention ext sd card ,removable battery and amazing screen.

i agree. ..id go OPO over G2 now..for sure.

the extra money for the G3 for me would be worth it just for expandable storage...the removable battery is just a bonus. its only maybe what$300 or so more?...no biggie. it depends on whats important to the individual i spose...as you guys know i like having expandable storage.

now if the OPO had that it would be a tough call...even for the same money.

[General Topics] Planterz:
It's 70's and 80's (F) here.:D We did have some snow on New Year's Eve though.

The G3 is more than I want to spend right now. $350 for the OPO is my upper limit. I'm not worried about storage; I actually typically use 2 phones; my Nexus 4 and my Galaxy Light. The Galaxy Light has a 64gb card in it, and it's my internet "mule". I also have a 64gb card in my LG G Pad 8.3, so I'm good when it comes to media. 64gb on the OPO is plenty for my needs (16gb on my Nexus 4 has taught me to be frugal).

Right now I'm mainly trying to get the most phone for my money (who isn't?) and make it last as long as possible until I plunk down the cash for a proper flagship. I've made do with my 2+ year old Nexus 4 for some time now, so I've no doubt a G2 or OPO will last me a good long while. The Nexus 4 certainly has its limitations (battery, camera quality), but running Android and any software/games without a hitch is not one of them, despite its age. So I'm confident anything with a SD 80X will last me another year or 3. I honestly think that a G2 at ~$250 is probably a better value for my money than a OPO at $350, but I'm leaning towards the opinion that I won't be satisfied with the G2 and will still yearn for a OPO.

My main concern is band 12. T-Mobile's 700MHz band. As of now, only a few phones support it. The lower-end Galaxy Avant and ZTE ZMax, the Note 4 (from T-Mo), the Nexus 6, and the Saygus V2. Of course, I'd assume the HTC M9, Galaxy S6, LG G4, maybe Xperia Z4 and even the OnePlus 2, etc will all support it too. It's somewhat irrelevant at the present moment because band 12 isn't available here yet, but that's also precisely the point. I don't want to spend several hundreds of dollars on a phone that doesn't have band 12 only to have a new phone come out that does. I'd rather spend as little as I can for as much as I can get, to make do until that day comes. Tucson, AZ isn't exactly known for being at the forefront of technology when it comes to this sort of thing. DSL, cable and satellite internet, LTE, etc. Despite being a metropolis (albeit minor), we seem to be amongst the last cities in the country to catch up when it comes to the latest in internet connectivity. Strange, since Tucson is at the forefront in many other tech and scientific fields.

Thus, I want to spend the least money necessary to get the most possible until that time. I don't want to pay the hefty cost for a Note 4 or Nexus 6, only to wait another year or 2 for band 12 to finally come to Tucson and have another flagship or two come out in the meantime. The G2 would undoubtedly get me to that point, but the OPO would go further, and with more to offer. I think the G2 has the better camera, but compared to the one on my Nexus 4, either will make those pics make me look like Ansel Adams. Hell, I usually take pics with my Galaxy Light with its 5mp camera rather than the Nexus 4. Fewer megapixels, but better pics.

Either way, my income tax return can't come soon enough.

New Tablet

So my 2012 Nexus 7 is getting a bit slower now and I would like to try and sell it and get an upgrade. Hopefully I will be able to get $100-$150 for the Nexus 7 and adding a few hundred dollars my budget will be around $400. For that price range I can afford both the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 ($398) or Tab S 8.4 ($408) but I could also get the Nexus 9 for $479, which is a lot more than the Samsung Tab's but would it be worth it?

EDIT: Oh and Android lovers, don't kill me for suggesting this, but for cheaper than all of these I could get an iPad Mini 2 ($349). I have never used iOS and kinda feel like I should give it a go.

Unfortunately it's 600 dollars, Plus the extra SD cards, but I've already got a couple 64gb's lying around, and if I can't get things done with 192gb, there's something wrong with me. But still, $600 on an unknown, untested phone, from a company with no reputation yet? Can't do it. I have the means (or will, as soon as my tax refund hits my bank), but not the trust. If all my hopes and dreams come true, I'll pinch every penny to save up for this phone. I might even quit drinking (which I should probably do anyway, but wtf). This phone is basically every cool single feature from every flagship that other flagships down have all crammed into the same phone. So I'll "make do" with a OnePlus One instead.

In my opinion it's not fixable and as I said it covers a wide range of carriers.

If you get a good one they're great phones if you get a bad one good fricken luck.

I'm not sure I believe it will have an effect. Samsung's main customer base is the average customer same as apple. They've probably lost more sales to apple than anything else.

"Terrible"? I can't speak for that. Reviews I've seen say the TFT tech used is underwhelming/bland. My Galaxy Light (a rather low-end phone) has a TFT display, and while it's not as clear as an LCD or as vibrant as an AMOLED, I wouldn't call it bland, but neither would I call it amazing in any way. But it's a different phone, and a different brand, so I can't necessarily say.

You said "cheap". That means some sacrifice(s) will have to be made somewhere. Of all the reviews I've read, nobody called the Sony TFT displays "bad", just that they weren't as nice as LCD or AMOLED displays from the rival phones at that time,.

What ROM/kernel do you use?

At the very least, 64gb will make it a lot easier to try different ROMs. I tried over 20 on my Nexus 4, and the mere 16gb made it a PITA to try new ones, switch back and forth, etc.

BlissPop is stable even on stock kernal with tons of customization and group of great supporters.
