I've gone from a N5 to the OPO however with the yellow band at the bottom various bugs that occasionally occur causing processes to stop and ultimately the size of the phone I've gone back to my trusty N5.

The OPO certainly isn't the flagship killer that the company touted it to be and yes coming from say a year and a half phone to this the user will certainly feel as it's a worthy upgrade however moving from any 2014 flagship to this device isn't much of an upgrade more a sideways step.

The only thing OPO have got right is the price point which the Nexus 5 is on par with. I'll put up with the average battery life of my N5 until the N6 or Motorola X+1 comes along.

Nice try OPO but not quite there...
[ONE General] cas8180:
All of this is very concerning to me. As I love and hail my n5 and am about to switch from it to the OPO. I just got my invite two days ago and my order is still processing. I had to bust my butt to get an invite but now after reading that several people are switching back to a n5 makes me really second guess my decision. What I was hoping to gain from the OPO was all the touted hardware specs but most importantly is camera and battery life. Even rooted and my kernel heavily underclocked and undervolted I still need more usage and SOT time from my n5. But I have heard both rave reviews of both the camera and the battery life so I was very excited to get this. The cyangenmod team too seems pretty committed to timely updates so that's another huge plus.
[ONE General] El Daddy:
While the OnePlus One is a great device the only plus I have experienced compared to the N5 is battery life. I'm shocked how great the battery life is.

Otherwise, the N5 performs much better on every front.

The touch screen responsiveness is pretty bad on the OPO. It lags while scrolling often. There also seems to be dead spots that appear at times. I can't use any of my QI chargers conveniently placed around my house. I also miss HD voice as well.

I'm going to continue using the OPO until L is released; based just on battery performance alone. If you are a phone geek like many of us are, don't be afraid to buy it, because it truly is a great device. Just don't expect it to blow the N5 out of the water.
[ONE General] drakester09:
I wonder if anyone that's saying that the One stutters or its buggy has tried anything but stock.

CM11s is in dire need of an OTA. The CM11 nightlies are much better in comparison and with Franco Kernel it feels very much like my N5.

I love both devices but I certainly prefer the 1+1. The battery life and screen size are pluses to me.

Camera performance is better for the N5 in low light, in other conditions I can't tell a winner. Video quality is better in the One sans OIS.

Reception seems to be the only place in my usage where the N5 is a clear winner compared to the 1+1.

If the N5 had a much better battery life or the One had OIS then it would be a draw.

Performance in games or intensive apps the One is better, also no one is mentioning 4x the storage at the same price point (16GB vs 64GB).

With all that said: The Nexus 5 is a beast device as is the One, so it's really hard to improve it. Give it 2014 flagship battery life and it would be near perfect. I have owned two N5.
[ONE General] kennypow3rs:
I'm selling my OPO on swappa if any you guys looking to get your hands on one :)

PM me if you want the link
[ONE General] Radixtrator:
I got the OPO after having an GPE M8 and i regret nothing. The speed is the same, the screen isn't really better on the M8, ofc the speakers cannot be compared. But the camera is better, the Dev community is a lot better, battery is better, and I don't mind the size
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
Huh in a side by side comparison, I found my GPE M8 to be a tad faster almost always. Also, battery life on my OPO has been worse for me.

After hearing so much about it's supposed amazing battery life, I'm starting to wonder if my unit is defective. I couldn't even get 5 hours SOT with medium heavy use, where with the same usage I'd get 6-7 hours on my GPE M8.
[ONE General] Radixtrator:
If I got 4 hours of SOT on my M8 I was seriously happy so I can't really say that I liked the battery :D
[ONE General] drakester09:
OnePlus One average is 6-7 SoT... maybe you were hit with the Play Services Wakelock?
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
Nope Play Services weren't even on the battery usage list.

Weird.
[ONE General] mjjferreira:
The N5 has OIS? I thought it was only in the G2.

I camera on the N5 should perform better then it does!
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
Yep the N5 has OIS. Also, it really shines with HDR+ on. Most reviews didn't use HDR, and it's an injustice to a pretty decent camera ;)
[ONE General] nikzDHD:
Is your phone entering deep sleep? Mine wasn't and it was related to Google Play Services but wasn't showing in usage. Uninstalled the update and reinstalled solved it and put mine into deep sleep.

This phone can easily get over 6 hours screen on time depending on how it's used. Was setting mine up today and my sister and cousins were playing on it to.
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
I just reinstalled the update. Hope this will help!

Still most likely gonna be selling the OPO though, the speakers just sound too bad and it's a little big (even if the battery life gets better) :P
[ONE General] gtg465x:
This is the very reason some of us aren't thrilled with the phone though. I am running franco kernel and it is indeed an improvement, but we shouldn't have to flash a nightly ROM and a third party kernel to make the phone work as it should. The fact that a nightly is more stable than a stock ROM that is shipping on a phone is really, really bad. 5 or 10 years ago, I wouldn't have cared, but now, I have a wife, a real job, and a lot more responsibility than I used to. I need a stable phone. Having the option of running a buggy, underperforming stock ROM vs. a potentially unstable nightly, neither option gives me confidence that I can rely on this phone. It just stresses me out. Which is why I've gone back to my Nexus 5 for now. On the verge of selling the OnePlus. The next OTA is the make or break for it. If they fix most of the bugs I experienced and improve performance, I may keep it and sell the N5. Otherwise...
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
dude [MENTION=1033039]gtg465x[/MENTION] we get it. you think the phone is crap and you think the roms are buggy or something and you have to defend your nexus 5. but you dont have to post it a hundred times. you can just pop the sim card out of the one and put in your nexus 5. it sounds like youll be happier if you give that a try.
[ONE General] gtg465x:
I don't think the phone is crap. The hardware is great. I do think the software is in a pretty crappy state though. And I'm not here to defend the Nexus 5. I am not a fanboy. If I was, I wouldn't have bought a OnePlus. I'm here to discuss the OnePlus and engage in conversation about it. It's what these forums are here for. I haven't started any threads here and I'm not spamming anything. Go away if you don't want to see any negative posts about the negative aspects of the phone.
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
all phones are buggy. http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/536135/20140128/10-unbelievable-bugs-updating-nexus-4-5.htm

give another update.
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
I think he means buggy in comparison to other phones. I also have a OnePlus One, and it does really need an OTA...

Do you have an OPO?
[ONE General] adibeckett:
Jared Busch (sp?) on his YouTube review said the phone disregarding the price is a "good" phone. Performance, screen, software, etc is good not great. If you include the price in your evaluation, this is a "great" phone.

Still waiting for my invite but as long as the yellow hue (if its there!) isn't too noticeable, I'll be happy.

Especially coming from my 3 year old Samsung exhibit ii and since my main uses for the opo is heavy YouTube, web browsing, forums, themer, etc.
[ONE General] jmudrick:
Exactly. Most every view says "We compared the Nexus 5 to the bla bla bla using auto mode. That makes no sense as unless your subject is moving HDR performs brilliantly and should be the standard mode. I used both phones this evening and am even more convinced that the current state of software favors the Nexus by a good margin even in good light. Detail consistently better on Nexus 5 in HDR mode. HDR mode on the OPO rarely looks natural. Heavily leaning toward keeping the N5 as low light camera use is critical for my usage.
[ONE General] mr_stoosh:
+1 My sentiments exactly
[ONE General] lukesan:
To be honest, I don't fully agree with most about always having the HDR on. I just threw out my N5 ... well going back to Google at this moment.

The HDR mode is highly overrated and most of the time used in a wrong way. HDR should be used, according to me, so it is personal, if there is a very high dynamic range that no sensor can fully catch. Our eyes are unbelievable superior in every aspect of dynamic and color range.

All the HDR pictures that I took on the N5 looked great on it's screen but when viewed on a calibrated screen completely over the top (over)saturated.

I would prefer if I could set a level of HDR like in my Sony camera where I can actually put the amount in and which does not over-saturate the colors.

I'll be testing the Opo on both camera and video front as I hated the stabilization in the N5, useless in the car, and the extreemly bad audio quality during video recordings which made it unusable.
[ONE General] mjjferreira:
I have stock rom cm11s, i didn't found any bug yet. What bugs are you talking about?
[ONE General] rgshakur:
?

When will update the android l
[ONE General] NaterTots:
Probably some time after Google releases the code. ;)
[ONE General] Android The Greek:
The only bugs I noticed was the hello Google bug where you need to hold the mic to your mouth which is to be fixed next update as well as my headphone mic not working which was stated to be due to a modification that apple made for any headphones that state they were made for iPhone 5 and after.
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
For me, most bugs happen with a theme on. I get many more crashes and glitches with a different ('light') style.
[ONE General] Parvinder25:
+1

exactly the reason why i got rid of fancy themes and switched back to basic ones in phone. My One used to do random reboots with these fancy themes. No more reboots now.
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
One of my favorite things about the phone was it's theme engine... It's a real shame it's so unstable.

They're supposedly fixing it all (or most of it) in the next OTA... It's already fixed in the latest Nightly.
[ONE General] Parvinder25:
Yeah. I checked the oneplus forums today for bugs reported in CM and there are fking around 150 unresolved bugs and more incoming. Why wasn't CM tested properly before releasing OnePlus. Although it is still a great phone but I expect minimal bugs in device launched in market.
[ONE General] nikzDHD:
The software let's this phone down without a doubt. There is an OTA due at the end of this month apparently. The bugs that annoy me at the moment include low mic sensitivity which renders Ok Google pretty much useless, touch screen issues with keyboards it's registers phantom touches resulting in having to correct the typing, low call and speaker volume, bug in the backlight for the buttons if you disable it and reboot the phone the lights turn on again, so far they are the main ones I've experienced but it's software/kernel related and can be fixed and some user fixes are already out.

Thankfully though I've not experienced any random reboots or force closes as of yet.
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
Trading my OnePlus One to a fellow phone enthusiast on Craigslist with an Xperia Z Ultra GPE in good condition.

He's giving me $220 cash plus the phone, and it works out well for me because I just want to listen to YouTube videos in the shower XD

I figure hey, if you're gonna have a phone you can't use comfortably one-handed, why not have one where you NEED two hands?
[ONE General] EddyOS:
OK, had mine a few days and here's my initial thoughts coming from the HTC One M8...

Obvious first point - the speakers. They're crap on the OPO compared to the M8 but we all knew that already!

Screen. I think I prefer it on the M8 as the PPI is more and it does look sharper. I actually prefer the size of the OPO, though

Battery life. I seem to have the Play Services bug which is killing battery but I can live with it until the next OTA and I'll then see if it improves. It still lasts me a day at the moment so I'm good.

Software. I actually really liked Sense 6 but, ultimately, I'm a stock Android guy and CM11S has some nice features, especially the new lock screen and gestures. Don't actually think I've used the power button bar first turning it on!

Overall I'm happy but we'll see in the long run :)
[ONE General] dondavis007:
The N5 with HDR+ rocks. Whatever they did so work, even the kids playing is relatively blur free

[ONE General] YrrchSebor:
got my OPO a few days ago, great phone for the price!! flagship killer? just about close enough i'd say, especially with a few fixes that will probably come. however, i'm not ready to sell my Note 3.

some thoughts, probably most that have been said already:

-nice screen/display, tho i think i still prefer the Note 3 in that respect. yes, a slight yellow tint at the

bottom of the screen, but doesn't really bother me, i can only see it on white backgrounds

-speakers are good and loud, perhaps not much bass but what did i expect :) call quality and volume have been fine for me, on regular and apeaker

-excellent build quality

-great performance

-maybe a little less accurate when it comes to swipe typing. from reading the forums a fix may or may

not be coming soon

-easy rooting and flashing. feels like a Nexus device in that respect.

-vibration is kind of weak, but oh well

-CM11s is good i'd say, and will only improve. and already good alternative ROMs to flash, and

plenty more to come i'm sure

-a delight to use!

i'm glad i got it to use and be part of the scene! will add more later if i think of it.
[ONE General] rbnhan89:
Phone is bad***!!!!

Last week I bought parts to fix my galaxy note 2 and let me tell you! It didn't go to well.. broke my digitizer and everything (I loved my gn2 so so much) . I don't know if the phone gods felt bad for me but the next day I received an invite for the OPO. I am still in shocked that I received an invite!!! Just received the phone yesterday and I really cannot be any happier than right now. I seem to received a great product as of now. No yellow line that everyone is talking about. Phone calls are perfect and my speakers are crystal clear. I haven't changed my themes since I heard some bad news about it. I can't say this is the best phone yet but time will tell. Thank you OPO for the invite once again!

Premium Quality Phone Build + Responsive and Snappy + CM = :victory::victory::victory::victory:
[ONE General] jarjar124:
Is it my device or that it seems harder for the device to catch "ok google" compared to my N5?
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
That's true, unfortunately. It's a software bug.
[ONE General] jarjar124:
So is there any word of it being fixed on the next ota? Just got the phone yesterday
[ONE General] Sisyphus306:
It's slated to be fixed in the next update, which is supposed to drop sometime this week.
[ONE General] Nocturnal86:
I currently have the option of trading a new OPO for a M8 and Im seriously considering it only cause of the issues I have heard about the OPO and all the negativity surrounding it. Would you think Id be wise in trading it for the M8? Did you have any issues like yellow banding? And how is the camera compared to the M8?
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
Hands down yes.

Trade it, RUU over to GPE and never look back.

GPE is (in my experience) faster, has better battery life, and has better performance (it also doesn't heat up as much either).
[ONE General] monkeyrawr:
Could any of the OPO users compare it to a G2?

OPO here in Australia is going to cost at least ~$410 with an invite, ~$460 Chinese version, and I could pick up a G2 for ~$400, cheaper if I look for a sale etc.

The G3 doesn't really interest me just yet, the screen seems overkill and a battery drain, and well the price.

Just wondering is it worth the extra $$ for a phone to hold me over until I guess nexus 6, or whatever flagship really grabs my attention.
[ONE General] EddyOS:
I've got no banding on my OPO from what I can see, so that's a non-issue for me. The M8 feels better, cause it's metal, but I do like the OPO as well. It's a hard choice. As said above, the M8 in GPe form is pretty awesome if you like stock Android and CM11 is available if you wanted the same ROM as the OPO so it's really up to you.

Camera on the OPO is a LOT better than the M8, though, although low light shots are apparently better with the M8. I'm not the best person to ask as I rarely use my phone for photos unless I'm drunk somewhere!
[ONE General] MisterRich:
It's been a serious hit-or-miss for me. Cyanogenmod has been behaiving oddly since I've owned the phone. I've reset it multiple times even after the most recent OTA. This morning alone I was in my car heading to work and suddenly started hearing music out of nowhere. After thinking I was going insane, found my OPO had randomly launched the music app and was playing.

I can't explain it's behavor sometimes, but, minus these little hiccups, it hasn't been TOO bad, but, I'm heavily considering switching back to my M8 GPE...
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
Go back to the M8. I did and haven't looked back.
[ONE General] exhibitA:
I came from a G2 & the HTC M7 before that. I really liked the G2 but always wanted a bigger screen & I wasn't willing to pay the price for the note 3.

I've had my One about a week & a half & I love it. For the price I'm willing to put up with the yellow band & dim hardware buttons, (although I really wish there would be a fix for them!)

I'm running Slimkat & using the Trickster Mod app to calibrate the screen; it does help but doesn't completely fix it. Otherwise it's a solid phone.
[ONE General] EddyOS:
I'll add a little more...

Notifications - Better on the OPO purely for the RGB LED. Makes life a LOT easier to work out what's what and means I can use Light Flow again! :D

Vibration - non-existent on the OPO compared to the M8. I barely feel it going off and it doesn't really rattle on a table either. Still, cause the speaker is loud enough it's not too much of an issue (unless phone is on silent)
[ONE General] cas8180:
Everyone seems to also be mentioning the yellow tint here as well. Has anyone by chance tried flashing the 100% stock version of their rom OP released to see if that remedies it?
[ONE General] mjjferreira:
It's a screen/glue/hardware issue, not software.

The only way to fix it (and its not garantee) is to expose the screen of the phone to UV light for about 20-30 minutes. This process will dry the glue.
[ONE General] force70:
I am so glad i gave my invite away....it sounds like this device was nowhere near ready for release and from what ive read trying to deal with oneplus customer service is like banging your head against a wall.

Never settle?...yeah right.

[ONE General] drakester09:
The people having trouble are the much vocal minority.

For a lot of folks they are expecting this phone to be the ultimate device, blame the hype machine that OnePlus Oppo set in motion.

To me it has been just wonderful, best device I've owned and best $360 I've spent.

Note: I haven't dealt with the company and didn't experience any issue whatsoever, my device has a very slightly yellow bad, like pretty much everyone. That as well has been blown way out of proportion.

Seriously, for a new company (a spinoff of Oppo to be honest) and their first device sold at cost this is very impressive.

I always had issues with Amoled displays in all the Samsung flagships I've owned. Even the S5... So it's not just OnePlus. They have handled things very poorly and I suspect it's because their actual cost structure wouldn't endure a mass rma or recall given their zero margins.

Judging from the device itself it's pretty obvious they aren't making any profit.
[ONE General] lukesan:
Are you actually talking about the tint on the entire screen or on the bottom?

If it is the complete screen I would advice to flash Franco's kernel, white becomes white again. You can also make the screen to your liking to install trickstermod (after installing that kernel) then you can adjust RGB which is really nice.

I just installed ColorOS 2.06 beta today to give that one a go. Seems to run fine on the OPO and the whites are also whites.

Might get a bit used to but I really like the rom and the build in possibilities.
[ONE General] force70:
I wasnt knocking the device so much as the company behind it. For the money your getting a fantastic device absolutely.

However any company that releases a product that has this many issues then gives people a hard time about RMA's i will not support. Its not so much the issues...its how they have been dealt with..and it doesn't matter how small or large the number of affected customers is....any companies reputation all comes down to customer service.

sent from Canada via my Note 3, Note 2 or One X +
[ONE General] Zeustopher:
I've had a few weird Force Close issues here and there, but overall its a FANTASTIC device! I'd highly recommend it. I've just started rebooting it nightly before bed which seems to clear up alot of the little annoyances. It was a great upgrade from my Nexus 4.
[ONE General] bp328i:
The ONE and ONLY thing I don't like about the OnePlus One is the charger cable. It looks pretty as hell but being flat it sucks when you move you phone around while it's plugged in.
[ONE General] Aegyo:
It's been a few days and I love this phone.It's significantly better than my Note 3 since I don't need the stylus.
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
you dont need a stylus on the note 3.
[ONE General] YrrchSebor:
OK, so I too am getting a lotta strange things happening with the phone when its in my pocket. I'm hoping that will improve when my cheap case arrives from China. But sometimes I'll hear the phone doing something, and I'll pull it out and it will be recording video in Sepia mode lmao, or some other random thing. And when I back out of the camera I will see that it passed thru lots of other screens to get there too.
[ONE General] exhibitA:
Turn off gestures in settings, see if that helps.
[ONE General] YrrchSebor:
Thank you! That must have been the issue because the camera and Torch were the most common things coming on
[ONE General] Barkle:
Had mine for four days. Came from an sS3. Loving it so far! Super fast and delightful to hold and look at.

I have only seen two issues thus far. First I have a very slight yellow band at the very bottom of the screen but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. Secondly the default microphone sensitivity for things like okay Google was piss poor. After I went and hacked up the microphone settings as per found on XDA it's great now. Screaming deal for the price it is and I'm really glad I didn't go with the S5 now.
[ONE General] Salty Wagyu:
I'm kinda on the fence with mine... its a gorgeous phone bar the yellow tint and touch sensitivity issues. But I can't seem to get over the delay in backing out of windows, e.g. it seems to take a substantial amount of time for the OS to go back to the previous window after touch-pressing back, as if there is some delay from touch to action taken.

Try it out in Battery - click Screen, back, Phone idle, back, Wifi, back and you can spot it. My Nexus 4 seems more responsive in comparison, and it shouldn't be!
[ONE General] GTCC:
Well with mine it is instant but have you tried setting the Windows animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale in developer options to 0.5x for all three of the settings.

You can set it to zero if you want but personally I prefer it set at the above.

If you haven't then I would recommend you do.
