My son on a low budget being milked by Sprint+Apple, I got him an invite, he ordered, NIL problems

My neighbor, works for a phone company who gave him a locked-down phone, wanted one, I got him an invite. No problems but apart from a bluetooth issue the OTA fixed this week.

My wife wanted a phone, we figured I'd get an OPO and she had my N5 as overall he smaller hands wouldn't take the OPO. I've had NO issues

I helped a forum member out. He just told me his has a yellow band if he looks a certain angle and disables capacitance buttons.

Helped the guy in the phone store get an invite, he's not got his phone yet

Overall 3 out of 4 no real issues.

I mention all this because the giving and helping bit worked. Helping the neighbor, he gave me a 50% phone discount, that made it worthwhile moving to a family plan, that got my wife online, with moving to GSM we could merge to one carrier, and overall we bought 2 phones as a family and halved our monthly costs. Break-even is 8 months but we got one person online and another a much better phone.

Overall, I'm good.

Justg ot this phone and i love the design. Im trying to root this thing but fastboot oem unlock doesnt unlock the bootloader for some reason even though drivers are installed and all.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
Does ADB see the phone?

adb devices

Show up? You enabled developer and adb debug? You accepted the allow to see on the phone of the ADB command?

You know then

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot reboot
[ONE General] Hellscythe:
I think this is mainly because CDMA is just falling behind
[ONE General] bassbox:
I don't get it..

stereo speakers at the bottom..

Why not at the top and the bottom for watching videos?

I cant imagine purposes where you will held your mobile in portrait and could make use out of stereo speakers..

What shall be the benefits??
[ONE General] Hellscythe:
I think it's a good design

If it were to be on the top or bottom, i would imagine the bezel to be better.

If you hold your phone portrait, i would imagine it the sound wouldnt be as good compared to if it was similarly laid out like the M7 and M8.

If you held it in landscape, for me at least my hand naturally cups around the bottom of the phone, so it isn't too bad for me.

overall, i don't think the sound would be "bad" by any means, but yes, could be a bit better.

But in my personal opinion i would rather have the speakers like this than potentially have a larger device with larger bezels :)

[ONE General] Hellscythe:
I just have to make a point.

I feel a bit uneasy because face it, they were really cocky during their marketing.

One of the main things that stood out to me was they showed the phone will fit underneath the Xperia Z1 and also stated they will fit a 5.5inch screen onto a body that would usually house a 5 inch screen.

I was excited. A phone similar in size to the Z1 with a 5.5 inch display and killer specs? no way!

Then it turns out the phone is bigger than the Z1 in almost every dimension and I felt as if I was lied to.

[ONE General] Hellscythe:
yep, Jinroh is there :)
[ONE General] JinRoh3:
Yes! Sorry for not mentioning it earlier!

My thoughts about the phone: I was expecting it to have a big screen, but not be a phablet (ie I was expecting it to be similar to the S5, not the Note 3)

Anyway I still liked what I saw in the hands-on video from Android Authority (after all, design, specs and software are great)

I'm only a bit worried it might end up being a little to big for my taste, but that I will only find out when it arrives :)

Thanks!
[ONE General] :
Seems like it would be a good upgrade from the Nexus 5. Is there a pre-order form to get one?
[ONE General] Planterz:
Holy hell, the actual pricing is used-car-salesman insane! When they said "under $400usd", you expect it to end up being $399. Not $50-100 less. This exemplifies why I hate Apple so much. $200 for a jump in storage from 16 to 64gb when you can pick up a microSD (Sandisk, class 10) for $50 is price-gouging at its greediest. But $50 for that jump is ultra reasonable. And with the wonky-ness of 4.4KK and external storage, it almost seems like it'd be much better to have all the storage internal rather than 16gb + card slot on a phone (a tablet would be a different story).

It looks like it should work on T-Mobile's LTE network too. It's getting more and more likely that I'll pick this phone up instead of the Sony Z2. Or even in addition to.

Volume? 2 speakers instead of one means it'll be one louder (after all 1+1 does = 11).

But really, at this point, we're not even sure that they are stereo speakers, although if they included 2 speakers, there wouldn't be much reason to make them not stereo. Except that, yeah, it would be kind of a silly pointlessness.

ETA: OK, it seems they ARE stereo speakers (with help from JPL). Whatever. Like Hellsycthe said, speakers on opposite ends would have made the phone even bigger.
[ONE General] benmcf:
So it looks like you have to initially be invited in order to pick one up right when they're released. If anyone has an invite they would like to share, PM me! I am sold on this phone, rivals the flagships that have just been released (GS5 and M8), and for half the price? Sign me up.
[ONE General] petiha1:
I have an S4 lying around (mainly use it for running, etc.) so I can sell that and get the OnePlus One with no extra to spend. No brainer really.. only barrier being the invite system. I hope some of the community will be able to help, so once we are each invited we can invite more and more I guess.. :)

[ONE General] Vortex1969:
Coming from the Nexus 4 then 5 I will say I'm very impressed with the one. It's been fast stable with a little tweaking from me but then I did the same to all my nexus devices.

I read all the problems in the forums and I have to say I really don't have any of them.

I haven't even had the touch screen problems and I type fast.

I am really enjoying the One....
[ONE General] barondebxl:
Yeah, when i put adb devices it shows me the numbers

adb reboot bootloader works just fine

fastboot oem unlock says "finished 0.00 seconds"

fastboot reboot works perfectly

but my phone isnt wiped and the bootloader isnt unlocked. Thats weird
[ONE General] Neverendingxsin:
This was the exact same position I was in.
[ONE General] bruciebabie1963:
same here

I am loving my opo, I have had zero issues,I think the yellow banding thing has been blown WAY out of proportion. I have been rooting phones and installing custom roms for about 4 years(4 devices) so I kinda know what to expect. No phone is perfect but for the price the 64 gb opo can't be beat.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I did some searching in the forums and I calculated about 8% had some kind of problem, but they complainers just type more :(

Of the 5 handsets I've helped to get (1 for me , 4 for others) 1 had a yellow band problem but its very slight barely noticeable.

I reckon half of those complaining are on about a thing they'd not never notice without the moaners raising it.

Glad you enjoying your OPO!
[ONE General] selayan:
Actually I would say it's more than 8% but they actually delete posts in that yellow thread. So it's been mainly the couple of same people keep posting there.

My buddy received his today and has the yellow band pretty severaly.
[ONE General] barondebxl:
It has been blown out of proportion. Had it not been mentioned I would have never noticed it. And I now that I notice it I could care less. Great phone! Fantastic battery life!
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I'm a professional mathematician. Cough.

You need to understand samples. The one person complaining frequently counts as 1.

The active 1200-1700 members all count as 1200-1700.

So count how new unique complaints happen for a period say 1 hour.

Do that and then you see about 8% for two times I did it.

Silence = happiness, you see.

Complaint = unhappiness

Positive = happiness

So total unique complaints / total online at the time = unhappiness.

The assumption is those online represent the average, which is a big assumption, that assumption tends to over-complain as happy people have left the forum actively and got a life. Those waiting for phone and those with a problem disproportionately dominate. I've not factored that aspect just the above counting.

Knock yourself out doing some actual study rather than making it up in your head, by all means.

The industry average is 5% so yes OPO seem to be worse than average.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

I'd agree. I do think there are actually phones out there with a really bad yellow band problem, peg OPO to the wall complain don't accept it.

There are those with minor issue which if they'd not seen the complaints would not have noticed it, the complainers have caused the complaints to be larger in quantity.

Guess what? About a week in my screen had some glue oozing out the lower front left corner, I let it dry then scraped off, and its been fine, I could go on and add a moan about it 20 times, but i didn't.

Similarly, my Nexus 5 got new in May, on a black background at night I notice a green tint on the upper left corner when watching videos. I didn't complain, its acceptable to me, but I had some witchhunt in a forum moaning about lightbleed I'be be goaded into complaining. That's what is happening, a small % have true issues, who complain and gravitate others into complaining.

This is actually OPO's fault. They did a very arrogant "flagship killer" pretending its an amazing top-class phone, which it isn't, it can't be not for $360, and so they created a false expectation of perfection. They then caused a massive wait by basically lying about phone shipping dates, they are in volume production now in August, burning up now into 90K member region, but they left a strong message in May they'd be in volume shipment then so basically caused over a month of impatience. Impatience when you're experiencing it makes a day feel like a week. If you'd been told in May then volume shipment was in August you'd ignore the forum, forget the phone and then 2 months later find a "wasn't a long wait at all" invite. So OPO made their own negativity halo. The sales hype people didn't really talk with or listen to the manufacturing people. So the invite system was woefully under-resourced with handsets and so...

I also think the negativity caused a panic rush in the manufacturing so probably led to the higher than average actual handset problems, it is about double the industry average.
[ONE General] selayan:
I could care less about the actual numbers. But from what I saw over there it does seem pretty important. What's worse is the way CS is handling it. Slow, unresponsive, cut and paste replies.

The fact that the admins delete that yellow thread also shows they don't care. Looking at the views and total post count tells you there were deletions. In my opinion don't delete customer complaints. They should address it as a disclaimer on the main page about screen types, variants, and the yellow band due to the backlight placement. If people know before hand they can decide if they want to chance ordering it.

[ONE General] planoman:
This sounds a lot like me. Ordered my OPO on Friday. Started really watching reviews and was concerned about the size. I too think the Nexus 5 is the sweet spot for me. For $365, I decided to get one and try it out. I am pretty impressed with the ability to customize just about everything at the user level! Cannot wait to see it! Hopefully by the end of the week!

---------- Post added at 10:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

I ordered this past Friday (15th) and once I get it I will request an RMA just incase I want to return it within the 14 days for a refund. A bit concerned about the size, but I would return for refund as opposed to selling it myself. Looking forward the trying it out.
[ONE General] DualSportDad:
I have a nexus 5 and before that a note 2. I really liked my nexus 5 but man I missed that screen size and battery life. My nexus 5 couldn't make it through a day with light use, so far the opo looks like it'll do well. There are some trade offs between the nexus and the opo and I'll give it a few more days to see which one stays around.
[ONE General] Kernel Klink:
I have been a flashing fiend with my new OPO but am bouncing between the stock CM 11S with Nova Launcher and Android L CM11 theme (Nikhil Bhale), and SlimKat with Nova Launcher and AK kernel (Trickster Mod). Issues with other ROMs and kernels have brought me back to these two.

I have a slight yellow banding at the bottom of the screen but I really do not notice it in daily use and is not an issue with me at all.

It was down to the Nexus 5 and OPO and I made the right choice. Very happy with the OPO.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I think a wise choice, the concern is the size plus a few have duds. I certainly don't regret buying to try, as after all might get accustomed to size, and with the difficulty with getting an OPO if you don't like you can sell for little loss or indeed a small gain, so worth doing.

After over 2 weeks with my OPO, I still prefer the N5 size, and am waiting for a N5 price drop. My N5 32GB went to my wife who is no way using the 32GB so if I can get a cheap N5 16GB then the OPO can be sold on and I get my N5 32GB back. Keeping my OPO in case for the obvious reasons.
[ONE General] DualSportDad:
Keep the opo, you'll miss the screen size. Nexus 5 feels better in the hand but the screen size is just awesome to have. I really think 5.5" is the perfect size for a phone.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I've got N5 and OPO side by side.

So is the OPO the only device you own?

You don't own say a Nexus 7, mine cost $160 delivered refurbished, which costs half that of the OPO?

You'd not rather look at a 7" screen than a 5.5", after all if 5.5" is so much better than 5" then why not 7" is even better?

All the arguments which say 5.5" is better than 5" point to buying a tablet and carrying phone+tablet, one optimised for always-with fits-in-pocket, fits-in-hand, one optimised for screen size and still luggable. The only neutraliser of that screen size discussion is budget, in that buying a 5" and a 7" costs more than buying just a 5.5". e.g. Nexus 5 new is $375 delivered, Nexus 7 refurbished $170 = $535 vs just getting an OPO for $360 delivered.
[ONE General] DualSportDad:
I have a slough off phones and tablets. And yes the nexus 5, nexus 7 and nexus 7 2013 are among some of those devices.

For me in the pocket feel doesn't change between a 5 and 5.5. I prefer the much better battery life and the screen of the larger phone. Maybe that's just me but battery life and screen size are a big deal to me.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
Well that's my thought that to get a 3000mah battery in makes the phone a certain size and then "why not" in a phone that size put in a 5.5", I wonder if that's what happening, the battery life demand is driving up size to 5.5" screen"

5.5 OPO has same pixels as 5" N5 and I'm betting the OPO's screen costs same/less than the N5. Also side by side, the OPO cannot be made as bright to see in daylight as the N5, another sign of some cost-cutting.

So perhaps that's the full story, 3000mah makes a given phone size, so might as well get 5.5" and then pick a cheap 5.5 which is good-enough. Hence the OPO?

However, LG G3 shows you can do all this and still make a smaller phone, so guess either LG smarter or its just harder / more expensive and hence the smaller better G3 is the $600 vs OPO $350?

I have "invites coming out of my ears" and I struggle to get people I know in real life want the OPO, its the physical size, so away from geek forums I am quite confident in saying if OnePlus made a physically smaller phone, but kept 3000mah and 64GB (can it be done and at same cost?) it will sell better. But heck, that's theoretical as they can't make enough for the current demand, never mind a better phone for the masses.
[ONE General] planoman:
I am looking forward to trying it out. I have been through several phones lately. The G3 at launch and because the screen just did not impress and the bloat on the att version plus removing the qi wireless charging just disappointed me, so I returned it within a week or so. I next had a Xperia Z2 which I really liked but it was just too fragile and I was nervous with a glass device similar to how I was with the Nexus 4...so sold that and through it all the Nexus 5 was rock steady. Battery life and camera are is the only things I would change. The Z2 was a big device but I adapted to it pretty well as well as the G3 being larger than the Nexus 5 it was fine also.

Looking forward to trying out the 1+ One.
[ONE General] DualSportDad:
Yeah if the nexus had a bigger battery it would have won my heart. I got the note 2 cause of the piss poor battery life my galaxy nexus had , I should have went with my gut when I bought the nexus 5. I even tried L for a while in hopes project Volta would make it a all day device but no matter what I couldn't get past 2 hours screen on time. Right now my opo is at 2 hours screen on time with 65% battery left and I've only had the phone one day, oh and today for some reason zedge app chewed up 11% battery in an hour so I had a huge drain there for a little bit.

I will admit I do like the benifits of a larger screen and battery at this cost.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Camera on the nexus 5 for me so far is better than the opo. I also put both phones side by side and opened apps etc at the same time and the nexus 5 did it faster (both phones stock Rom with current updates). I did run a benchmark and the opo scored like 10,000 higher but we all know how useful benchmark scores are. Really the nexus was just battery life for me, I could live with the screen size. One great thing about the nexus is it charges super fast if you use USB charger.

So I guess what I'm saying is if anyone wants a used nexus 5 32gb let me know [emoji6]
[ONE General] planoman:
yes the camera updates on the Nexus have actually been pretty good so it's a lot better than initially and man it does charge fast with a 2.1 amp charger! The Z2 has a fantastic camera! Most things I have seen show the OPO camera to be pretty good in good light not so much in low light but that will probably work for me.

Have you had any issues with low earpiece volume on the OPO. That would be a big issue for me. I cannot stand low earpiece volume.
[ONE General] DualSportDad:
I don't actually make calls with my phone often. I did do a test call earlier and it was low but not too bad. Full volume was acceptable but I would like it louder.

Here's some battery screen shots, keep in mind 15 hour on time, 50+% without signal, and I had that 11% Zedge battery draw this morning.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
From a quiet light use Sunday for me biking in the hills hence why losing signal. Some checking emails and forums as i munched sandwiches.

sent from my OnePlusOne
[ONE General] DualSportDad:
Nice! What's your screen on time?
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
Asking me? 15 mins.

This gives a light use example extrapolating to 49h I.e. 2 days light use consistent with others in that use case.
[ONE General] DualSportDad:
Got ya. Light days for me are around 2 hours screen on time, 7am-12pm.
