is your body ready?!
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
It's been a long time! How is everyone doing?

The new Nexus 6 to me seems a disappointment. I have been holding out waiting for the new Nexus for the last year. I was not expecting a phablet device, it seems simply too big for me! However, the main concern for me is the alleged pricing. I was assuming Google was sticking to the marketing strategy they initially implemented with the Nexus 4, but it obviously seems that the price will be among other flagship devices. Who's planning on getting one?

I have been fairly content with my Nexus 4 over the last year, however I feel age is catching up with it with slow downs and lags, and of course the shambolic battery life being a justifiable reason enough to upgrade. So I'm planning on jumping ship to the OnePlus One! I'm so far behind in my tech knowledge these days, so just a few simple answers would be great!

1) How much more advanced will Android become? I see the odd 64-bit news every now and again, and if that is suppose to be a Android 5.0 feature why hasn't the Nexus 6 been implemented with this feature? Which leads me on to whether the Snapdragon 801 CPU will still be considered powerful in say 6-8 months time? As far as I know, the 801 is only a minor upgrade to the 800 in the Nexus 5, so is this CPU relatively outdated already?

2) My current 16GB Nexus 4 memory seems sufficient for me at the moment. (I have ~5GB) free storage available)

Is it worth plunging in for the 64GB OnePlus One? I'm intending to sell my Advent Tegra Note 7 tablet anyway, so I feel that I may perhaps be using more media content on the One...(?)

3) Am I making the right choice in phone upgrade? Or is there any other better phone in the right price range? The phone is already a couple of months old and apparently they are releasing a successor to the phone in Q2 next year?!

The market seems flooded at the moment and I am not sure on active manufacturer support etc anymore. All of my devices I use are completely stock so I depend on manufacturer support. :o

As far as I know I believe the OnePlus one will continue to get updates for the duration of the next 18 months?

Apologies for the long post, hope everyone is doing great, its been a long time!
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
Tempted by the new nexus 6 myself although the predicted high price price will determine whether i buy one quite disappointed they haven't used a 64 bit cpu in it, will probably wait until revision two around Christmas target than jump in as normal as the early adopter

In reality i'm still loving the nexus 5, can't wait to see lollipop for that and then the eventual customs

Although my eyesight seems to be failing recently so idea of a larger screen does genuinely appeal

Hello Olly nice to see the seasons finally turnaround for the good, some massive games coming up.
[Off-topic] anazhd:
google effed up the nexus family pricing. so maybe it's about time to support OnePlus [MENTION=2100957]olyloh6696[/MENTION] . But just like Ben, I'm still in love with my Nexus 5. Long way to go with this device. It's totally up to you.
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Thanks guys, yes had I known what the Nexus 6 would have been (screen/price) I would have settled for a Nexus 5 when there was a great opportunity to pick one up way back in April. Still a fantastic device and I would still feel content to keep it in your positions.

Speaking of invites, I've managed to secure one earlier today thanks to some nice chaps who kindly sent me some on these forums. Apparently I have 24 hours before this invite expires so I'm in a bit of a muddle on making a rash decision. I'm not at home at the moment so it wouldn't be easy to organize an arrangement for the delivery if I go ahead and purchase one. I have a reading week next week so I should be back home for the week and it'd be so much easier to purchase the OPO, sell my Nexus 4 and Tegra Note 7 then. An invite next week would have been perfect...

Is it worth taking a risk and hope for another invite next week? Still not 100% sure if I want to make a purchase tonight/early tomorrow. Or can I make the purchase and always cancel it later?

Hopefully! Defense seems to be a bit all over the place, but otherwise I am enjoying our style of play, particularly watching Di Maria, he's just a different class! Hoping for a draw at best vs Chelsea, they just seem unstoppable this season.

I'm staying at Manchester now, so opportunities to go to the games are really great, hoping to get some tickets int the near future!

How's your little girl doing? Seem like I haven't been here for sooo long.
[Off-topic] anazhd:
I think you can claim the invite and then you have plenty of time, no need to rush that 24hr. Because we at "DA" did that before. I'm not sure.
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Hmmm on my invite it says once you press claim you have 24 hours.

But it doesn't say before when you don't claim?
[Off-topic] hisname:
yup, once you click the button, you are left with 24 hours.

edit: personally, i don't like the OPO. They have really poor marketing campaign. From the ladies first to the invite system. why the hell would you want your device to be successful when only a set of "exclusive" people get to buy it?
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
Thanks for clearing up my doubts, I've gone ahead and placed an order for my OnePlus One! (2 actually, damn it. Currently pending a cancellation for one of them)

Really excited for it gone ahead and ordered a tempered glass screen protector for it too. It should arrive sometime in midweek, I'll be home at the weekend to use it! It's just the question of what to do with my Nexus 4 now. Just a few days before the Nexus 6 announcement they were going for ~£120 on eBay, now everyone is flogging theirs in anticipation of the Nexus 6 etc, the average price has stumbled to around £90-£100 and I only expect it to fall. Is it worth keeping the Nexus 4? :D

I would say wait. If the price will stay the same, then it's a no brainer for me. Always go for latest and greatest. Also it gives you a chance to save up a bit more and go for better option. (More storage, sim slot)
[Off-topic] Tectas:
Tegra is Apple of SoCs for my opinion, they may be the first with releases, but don't deserve the hype in any kind. Look at tegra 3, as soon exynos 4412 came up it got outperformed and with qualcomms quad SoC, it was already dead meat. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad SoC, but there are better available.

I would wait and see what mwc brings, before I would even think about the next nexus 7, if there isn't anything tempting you still can rethink.

No idea, it was running fine all day, I woke it up by pressing power and unexpectantly everything was FC'ing on me, couldn't get it to stop throwing errors, so hit power and tried to get it to reboot and it powered down and simply never woke up. :( Looming dark black screen just stares back at me........ soulless and cold.

It had at least 50% battery, when I plugged it into my work XP PC it said QHSUSB_DLOAD - which from memory I know isn't good - looks like I have my first brick. :(

My Home Win7 PC just doesn't know what it is anymore.

After searching and reading the forums briefly I'm not filled with any confidence either - looking like RMA is my only option.....anyone?

only about a month - was completely besotted with it to :( .

By complete chance the new mid range phone that I'm recommending work stocks for general staff smart phone is the HTC One SV - just means I can put my SIM in it for a week or so until I sort out my device.

It's in serial mode direct to the Qualcomm chip, expecting the boot loader to be downloaded to the device. Sorry to say that most probably you fried the internal memory, and not even the boot loader is readable.

It's ironic you survived this long on the DS without frying the EMMC chip, and now that's probably what happened.

I feel very sorry for you man, but you better start with the RMA paperwork...

Hello old friends!

I have been quiet for some time now, but my life has taken quite some turns, all for the best.

So, I'm pissed of at google for basically keeping the nexus brand while at the same time ripping the soul of it. So I started looking around, and I must say that the new moto X has caught my eye. What so you guys think?
[Off-topic] anazhd:
long time no see! eta for desire s fallout lollipop please? :silly:

Well, nexus line is basically f-up. I must say, I'm pissed too. Not because of the delay of lollipop release, but because of the nexus 6 being too big and hell it's twice the price now.

Moto X is a good choice, but compared to OnePlus One, I think it's better to get your hands on OnePlus One. I tried that phone before, it's a beast, good cameras and this and that. But in terms of quality and design, I prefer Moto X. It's up to you. :good:

[Off-topic] anazhd:

[Off-topic] enigmaamit:
LoL, I was just kidding. :o

But on a more practical note, almost everything with a chip in it is now Chinese, so I don't know how far one can run from that. From the iphones and iPads, to the veritable android lineup, it's all Made in China (regardless of where its designed). Those same components are now being assembled sans the branding and being sold directly. I see this as a healthy trend in keeping prices of the erstwhile flagships in check. Phone prices have run amok recently and I don't think they offer anything tangibly worth the asking price (and short lifespans)
[Off-topic] olyloh6696:
That's what I've seen many others say as well. Personally had my OPO for nearly 2 weeks(?). And its an awesome phone despite it being "Chinese". I've had bad experiences with Chinese tech in the past, but this is an exception. I love the OPO build, it feels really premium.

I'm still yet to receive my invites, so if you ever do want one give me a shout!

Its the least I can do after all you've done back in the Desire S days, wow that feels a lifetime ago now!

It was 3 years ago or something like that when i got Desire S.

Used it for 2 years before it started to show some hardware problems, shutdowns when shaking, signal drops etc.

-> Nexus 5, pure awesomeness, learned to compile a rom from source, cherry-pick things and customize to them to my liking.

-> Now Oneplus One for few months and it kicks as*

as I wrote in the madhi G+ thread earlier today

I'm a firm believer in the stance of the cataclysm rom developer Atl4ntis, which is if an app does it well enough then don't bother building it into the ROM. So I'll happily continue to use:

lux for auto brightness

Light flow for led control

Do not disturb for quiet hours﻿
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
suspect that I'll go back to cataclysm as I like the close to stock feel, plus I feel madhi over consolidated things and added too much last time out which will have ultimately only impacted negatively, hopefully euphoria will be cleaner.

[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
Back at you Oly!

I will obliviously require an enigma style/quality review.

I'm very keen to hear about the following, although not in any priority order:

1) mobile call quality, as experience on N5 can be hit and miss during long calls although always fine initially

2) WiFi connection holding in deep sleep, as since lollipop my N5 can't hold connection through the night, hoping 5.0.2 (or 5.0.3 which I just invented) will resolve it.

3) mobile phone signal connection, in areas of low and patchy reception, as my N5 tends to drop connection intermittently and take unusually long to regain it sometimes. For example in parts of the Ground floor in my house which is a new extension built with internal metal construction.

Even though I've listed the above I still love the N5 more than any device I've owned, although if I came across £500 I would certainly be tempted to buy myself an N6 immediately.

Although slightly disappointed that the N6 didn't come with a 64bit chip to future proof it as if I paid £500 for it, then I'd be very hard pressed to replace it with the initial 24 months.
[Off-topic] suku_patel_22:

None of you have issues with GPS on custom ROM's? I always had sucky GPS on custom ROM's. Hence sticking to stock and adding tweaks as they come by
[Off-topic] NVardan:
Yeah, it feels really stock, unlike all the custom ROMs I had ever used on Kit Kat. Bonus points for that.

I also flashed Franco kernel and the battery life seems to be pretty good in the first cycle. Much better than on KK. Standby time is also really great. Lost only 1% battery in about 9 hours overnight while in airplane mode. On stock my phone would lose up to 10%.

I have a problem though. No matter how I change my CPU frequency, CPU control apps don't show higher than 1.4 GHZ. The governor doesn't change too. And the performance somewhat suffers from this. When I'm in Reddit Sync and am downloading a gif for example, everything starts to lag, the phone responds to touches with big latency and animations for example for status bar pull down are near 5fps. Like, WTF?
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
I use Franco kernel and his fku app never have this problem.

Sounds like these are the default values or your suffering from thermal throttling.

I'd recommend that you use fku along with Franco. #69, if you don't have it now, it's has a 30% discount currently in play store.

Worth un installing and re installing and wiping the app data for the app including any on sd.

After the device has been booted for a few minutes and settled, as fku doesn't kick in until device is steady with this app installed go into it and change Max frequency to 2265mhz, with set on boot.

Also ensure that you use SuperSU not built in super user, although cataclysm does this for you
[Off-topic] NVardan:
It looks like it was thermal throttling after all. Everything is fine now.

Thanks anyway, I might look into purchasing FKU. Does it work with other kernels like ElementalX etc. too?
[Off-topic] ben_pyett:
Don't know if it works with other kernels completely as I've only really used fk back since N4 days....
