[ONE General] Expliciate:
Though this thread refers to opinions and reviews about the phone, has there been any discussion with regards to the OnePlus forum?

I know that things like the corrupted invite system and spamming for invitations has been mentioned, but as a forum solely dedicated to the phone itself, it seems to lack heavily with regards to anything.

Examples include threads like > Touchwiz on OnePlus One

It's a simple question but ends up being a 16+ page thread with more than 90% of the comments having zero contribution or is relative to the OP.

I recall reading up somewhere here that moderation was suppose to be soon reinforced, but even then, why such unnecessary chaos?
[ONE General] Manholas:
I'm surprised

I'm surprised

No one has to impose anything on anybody, let alone a cellphone. It's just a cellphone. Come to the forum to make disparaging criticism does not bring anything positive. Often these conversations lit boil down to a throw ideas aired unsubstantiated. If I do not like the option will not convince anyone to buy other equipment, will not win any prize if to convince enforce my stubbornness, most times without evidence on subjective issues (which is good for me, may not be good for the other). In conclusion, stayed the same!

It's easy, buy and use the one that your understanding is better. Simple.

[ONE General] NinoDolce1:
Maybe getting Chinese version

I'm thiking about the option of importing a Chinese version Oneplus One and then getting rid of the Color OS rom and flashing Cyanogen to it. That is if the Int. Version isn't available by the end of June. What do you guys think?

Also Maybe we get lucky on one of the few actual owners of the Oneplus One can post a decent review here. :D
[ONE General] Planterz:
Does the Chinese version have the same frequency band compatibility of the international version?
[ONE General] NinoDolce1:
Yes, I remember on the Oneplus Forum it was said that there will be only 2 SKUs (16GB and 64GB) and the Chinese version should also have 4G LTE bands 1/3/4/7/17/38/39/40/41 (no Sprint of Verizon support) but I would confirm that before buying, sorry I couldn't find the particular post on that mess called Oneplus Forum...

Anyone who can confirm this please correct me if wrong.
[ONE General] johnwillyums:
Decision time

Hi, I just read through this thread, and the thread started by Rayfin regarding flashing CM11 to the Oppo Find 7a.

I'm a member on both the Oppo and OpO forums. As some people have mentioned the OpO forum is pretty tragic, people getting angry and rude, people pleading for invites etc, lots of anger everywhere.

This is combined with a lot of ambiguous info from the OpO team, combined with a wilful tendency, on the part of members, to misunderstand suggestions, turn them into hard statements, seizing on particular dates as goals for when the flood of invites will come etc.

It's depressing and demeaning. I've been following both Oppo, and it's offshoot OpO since they went public, and I have to say that their continuous moving of the goal posts, promises that seem concrete but are not, is starting to really put me off buying the OpO (when I get an invite).

I initially fell for the look, and specs, of the Find 7a, but I was really put off by the limited apps partition. I checked my Nexus 5 (running CM11 Nightly) and I have just over 3GBs of apps on that, so I just don't think it is enough.

However, reading the developers thread started by Rayfin, with Entropy512 and MrColdbird, I am encouraged. It seems that eventually, they will have a working ROM for the Oppo F7a, using the whole of the external SD card as unified storage. So, I'm assuming that eventually, the restricted partition framework problem will be overcome.

I now find that the 16GB international version is obtainable now, it's in stock at Oppostyle Europe. I would really like to push the button on it, but I don't want to regret my decision, if the partition problem is intractable. It's sod's law that I will get an OpO invite as soon as I've bought the Oppo :)

So, I prefer the look of the Find 7a, and I can order it now, but I can't live with three GBs of app space forever. Do people think I would be wise to go ahead? I'd like opinions please.

Sorry I have nothing concrete to contribute, I've flashed a couple of ROMs successfully, but that's all. I'm a noob.
[ONE General] force70:
My opinion only but any device with only 16gb of I internal storage and no ext sd card support is practically worthless. Why any company would even build one is beyond me.

I think the one is a really nice device....theyve approached the launch in a very odd way thats for sure with the invite stupidity and such but id buy a 64gb if it was available today.

By the time I could get one I will probably already have a G3 in hand so oneplus missed the boat here.

Sent from my Note 3, Note 2 or S4
[ONE General] star_play3r:
Phone size

Though the phone has freaking awesome specs but what the problem is with the phone size which is huge i never used a phablet before and i am switching from my 3 years old Sony Ericsson Xperia neo v which has 3.7 inch screen, so i think it would take time for me to adjust with OPO if i get in hand.
[ONE General] force70:
Get a G3..same size screen much smaller overall package. Plus sd card support and removable battery. Lg didnt settle lol.

I think I will still pick up a one even once I have the G3...after all this the curiosity is killing me and its so inexpensive why not...
[ONE General] waiters:
Phone was officially delayed. How did u guys get one?
[ONE General] furikuri68:
Delay is only for the CM11s version. They bought the Chinese version with color os.
[ONE General] star_play3r:
G3 yeah.. the phone with similiar price tag of a two wheeler automobiles .:p
[ONE General] force70:
Not overly expensive to me at all..I bought 5 devices last year alone...all outright. Not a big deal to pick up a G3 :thumbup:

sent from Canada via my Note 3, Note 2 or S4
[ONE General] hello00:
yeah im getting the g3 too..much better
[ONE General] Jae686:
I'm thinking about replacing my aging (and disappointing) Xperia U (running android 2.3.7) this summer.

On my price bracket [0 - 400 € aprox] i'm faced with the following options :

Oppo Find 7a - I'm taken aback by the fact that it's a flagship and its still on Android 4.3 (I find the phone gorgeous though). The status on the oppo find 5 regarding updates to android don't leave a very good impression.

Moto G - Good reviews, but I wonder what I may get if I'm willing to spend a little bit more

Xperia Z - A flagship from last year, but already has kitkat.

One Pus One

Nexus 5 - looks like the safest bet.

I must admit that the invite system and the lack of a timeframe for general availability is a major turn off for the one plus one (at least for me).

(oh and don't get me started if their forums....I usually just read it to have a laugh or two).

[ONE General] sn0warmy:
Received my invite through Storm Of Invites this morning. I'm planning on placing my order tonight or tomorrow.

However, I'm watching the Google I/O right now and noticed that the capacitive buttons on the OnePlus One are already outdated. I find that comical.

OnePlus One Capacitive buttons:

New Android "L" nav buttons:

It's definitely not a deal breaker for me, but I'll be curious to see if the OnePlus One updates to these new nav bar images to the built in capacitive buttons down the road.
[ONE General] tiny4579:
Not sure if it's even possible to update the capactitive buttons. The soft keys will be updated.

I'm pretty excited about L. If you have a Nexus device the preview should be available tomorrow.
[ONE General] sn0warmy:
Yeah, I meant that I wonder if/when they would actually update the physical hardware to include the new "L" nav bar button looke. The soft keys will be updated right away.

I have the Nexus 5. I'll be checking out the preview as soon as it's available.
[ONE General] tiny4579:
Yeah, I'll check it out on my Nexus 7 (2013).

Historically, capacitive buttons are just touch senstive areas where there is a slit "cut out" to allow the light through. If that's the case here, there is no updating that can be done if it's physically designed that way and not done in software. Unless you mean make a revision to the phone physically to do this. I doubt that since they're already using a legacy menu button and don't even follow the Google order.

After all the 1000 invites they are still not going to sell. One Plus One #NeverSell
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
they actually announced they will do a preorder system for buying with an invite in the coming months. right now you can buy with an invite. its becoming easier to get an invite, but do not beg people thats annoying. you can participate in the contests to be invited. it shows that you actually want the phone and are not a business trying to stock shelves. give it time or effort, your choice.
[ONE General] Fgroia:
For those who already have it, write a small review please

[ONE General] tiny4579:
I still want the phone but I'm growing tired of this mess of invites and vague soon you should get a phone promises. I feel like I'm so close to being able to get an invite yet out of reach. I've been in support of this phone for a while but my constant checking here and the OnePlus forums is getting tiring. Let's see what happens when the Find7 releases.
[ONE General] acetkbez:
Need invite

Does anyone have an invite? My Note 3 got stolen the other day and I've had my eye on the OnePlus One since it was announced...Would rather put my money towards this phone rather than a Nexus 5 or something of that sort.
[ONE General] tiny4579:
There are a few people with invites but basically no one with sharable invites. This is part of the reason I'm a little disappointed with OnePlus.
[ONE General] acetkbez:
I'm disappointed because they hyped the phone up so much; which mind you the phone looks great. but the whole invite system makes it feel like they are using the product as a beta which does suck....
[ONE General] tiny4579:
I'm still going for it now but may reconsider it if the chances are slim when the find7 becomes available to buy, not pre-order.
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
the oneplus and oppo find 7a do not use the same pcb. camera and button placements are different. oppo is the manufacturer of the oneplus, and its a phone on a slight budget, so it will have shared components, its not a bad thing. the back is not meant to easily come off since the battery is not removable, just like the moto g and moto e. you only take it off if you want to change the look. it sounds like you may have forgotten to take out the sim card tray which is why it was difficult to come off.
[ONE General] ddggttff3:
I do not have a Oppo to compare, I am just going off of what I heard in the PCB department. The bootloader shows lots of ties between OnePlus and Oppo, so I was to assume that the PCB rumor was true. My mistake.

As for the back coming off, I made sure to remove my SIM tray first so that was not a part of the issue, and I thought it was suppose to be easy as OnePlus has been advertising their aftermarket back plates for it.
[ONE General] dansou901:
[MENTION=2212097]ddggttff3[/MENTION], thanks for reviewing the screen issue. I read a lot about it already including the reaction of Oneplus, so it did make me think somehow. But hopefully you are right when you say it is an early production issue. I'll definitely report back as soon as I got my device (still need an invite though). The software issues should be ironed out, also it would be good if Oneplus would do it's own radio firmware to improve reception.
[ONE General] adibeckett:
It's between the Nexus 6 and the One Plus One for me. Not sure I can wait for October/November for Nexus's supposed release date however.
[ONE General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Guys what about camera stabilization? I've seen videos and they're very "shaky".... no close to the Z2 stabilization or even LG G3...
[ONE General] MadMax:
Ok so I have had the phone for long enough now, and thought it is about time to share my thoughts

So the first thing the design and feeling of the phone. I have never had a phone this large, and coming from the M7 is a big difference, but I find that where they put the buttons helps it a lot. I find i can handle to phone with not too much difficulty. Also the texture back helps a lot also.

Now the screen, I have to say I like, a lot. I dont have a light bleed issue and the i really dont see the yellow tint that people are talking about.

Performance, is just great, no slouch at all. Camera is great, has not tried 4k video or anything yet but the pictures i have taken look great

Now just a little bit of my set up that I find helps a lot,

1: Root access: I rooted it just to get some of the root apps, like DPI changer

2: Change DPI to 400: It gives you soo much more screen realestate

3: Customer launcher: I used nova prime but any will do.

Now if you guys have question just give me a shout, I dont want to keep rambling here lol
[ONE General] LiquidSolstice:
Do you use soft keys or cap keys?

I was thinking so that I can have the full screen real estate, I might use the cap keys with the backlight turned off and remap them the to the proper Nexus layout. Basically, I'm wondering if you can at all see the cap keys when the backlight is off or not?
[ONE General] MadMax:
if the lights are off you really dont see the buttons. I use the cap buttons, but after a little bit you dont even need to see the buttons to know where they are. Also the lights are not very strong on the cap buttons. It is just enough to see it.
[ONE General] brickblacksquad:
To the people who have the phone: How are the speakers compared to say the HTC One M8 or the Oppo Find 7? Camera quality? I'm seriously considering buying this phone but I have the S4 and the pictures are pretty good on this so I don't want to downgrade in terms of camera quality
[ONE General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
All reviews say camera is much underpowered somehow and results are just average.

Movies are disgusting due to lack of stabilization as far I know and seen samples.
[ONE General] Wombat:
Camera is fine after the update, before the update it would've been stuttering on 4k..
[ONE General] Deadpool253:
I wouldn't worry about the camera as there are plenty of better options that can utilize the sensor better (Google camera).
[ONE General] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
YOu haven't seen fine camera then :P
[ONE General] Wombat:
Dude its a phone not DSLR.. ;)
[ONE General] jammyjamil:
The speakers are excellent on Oneplus one. They can be tweaked even more louder by the Audio fx app preinstallted in CyanogenMod. They are even louder than HTC one m8 in some areas. The camera is decent. It is a hit and miss. Overall Oneplus One is the best phone available rite now.
[ONE General] benthe:
Did anyone did the jump from a ~4.7-4.8" device to the OPO?

I'm coming from a Galaxy S3 and concerned that the OPO might be way too big, especially for use with one hand.

Any thoughts on this?
[ONE General] vpathak077:
are u getting 3g signal properly...?...
[ONE General] Otaru1994:
I believe that the camera is not so important. If you need to work or something, then yes. And so ... perhaps, to show that you're cool
[ONE General] eddielement:
I think the camera is great, compared to my old galaxy S3. Compared to my $200 point and shoot that's 2 years old, it's way better. The 720p HD super slow mo recording is the only dissapointing part for me, it looks really really hazy. (Luckily, we have 1080p slow-mo).
[ONE General] waiters:
That's weird. Most reviews have said the camera is almost useless.. Have u tested it in low light or fast settings or just in bright sunlight with static subjects?

[ONE General] FITRS:
Yep, would have to agree, the camera is an upgrade from the i9300 Galaxy S3. The front facing camera is fantastic. Took this photo today with the front facing camera. Not quite a selfie btw.. ;)

[IMG="WhiteWalker"]http://i.imgur.com/sjLqqRD.jpg[/IMG]

The rear camera is greater light capture without overly grainy at low light, has better focus with macro-like shots with more depth of field in the background.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Yeah I had a S3. The size is fine. Infact the S3 looks puny compared to the expansive real estate of the 5.5 screen. If you're used to shoving the conveniently sized S3 in your front right pocket like me and still be able to run around without it falling out, you may want to get a phone pocket sown into your pants which fit the OPO (with case). It does stick out a bit more in the pockets.. can't see it, can feel it.

After being on two generations of Galaxies I do miss the punchy colours of the OLED Samsung screens though. It doesn't mean the colours on the OPO are dull, the same pics look just a wee tad washed out. Even though the One has a better ppi, the SGS3 still looks great on the same photo being slightly more richer and smoother. This could be a basic issue to all IPS screens not just the OPO.
[ONE General] king1990:

About the camera

The One comes with the latest Sony IMX214 chip.

Here's the official comparison between the IMX135 and the IMX214 sensors http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/new_pro/april_2014/imx214_e.html

The much praised camera of the S4 mounted the IMX135.
[ONE General] DKM119:
Did you get it from Opo company or from a third party vendor?
[ONE General] ddggttff3:
The International Version directly from OnePlus One. I was one of the winners for the "Race Day" events.
[ONE General] serialtoon:
Ive had this phone for less than 24 hours and so far I am not impressed. The vibrate is weak (possible software update?), the CM rom is some what buggy still. The phone hardware is great on the other hand. I don't know if I plan on keeping it as my HTC One M8 GPe just feels better overall. Plan on seeing it on Swappa.com soon.
[ONE General] eksasol:
But I think the software of the G3 is a huge con, to me it's even worse than Touchwiz. I can't use anything but AOSP-based nowaday. But I guess with the unlocked G3 there will be roms eventually.
[ONE General] trashcan:
I have both Find 7a and One+, I would say the One+ is more solid due to custom CM11. ColorOS still has many bugs but the look and feel is better.
[ONE General] EncryptedCurse:
I'm debating whether I should go with the OnePlus over a Nexus 5. Both phones just seem to offer great hardware for unbeatable prices.
[ONE General] drakester09:
If you can deal with a phablet sized device (think near Note 3), the OnePlus One has better specs and quite better battery life according to most reviewers.

Also if you are able to wait a month or so for the latest and greatest Android version.

The 64GB version demolishes the N5 in specs in my opinion, 1GB extra of RAM, 32GB extra of internal storage, bigger battery, newer chipset.
[ONE General] EncryptedCurse:
I was actually not aware of its' size. I guess the thinness makes up for that.
[ONE General] adibeckett:
I was also considering the Nexus 5 but it's almost a 1 year old phone (spec wise). For the same amount of money + a little (actually A LOT) patience you can have the latest and greatest (again spec wise) of a phone. Plus the battery is getting good reviews.

It's between whatever comes first, the Nexus 6 or the OnePlus One. Hopefully the Opo ramps up it's production WAY up.
[ONE General] gtg465x:
I got an invite a few days ago and just placed an order. I'll let you guys know how it compares to my Nexus 5 when it comes in. I plan to use the OnePlus for at least a couple weeks before deciding which phone to sell.
[ONE General] donalgodon:
The debate isn't about which one is a better device, because the OPO is absolutely better than the Nexus in every way (if you don't mind the size) but the one thing about it is that you just about can't get an invite, so you'll pay more. That's what I did.

The Nexus 5 is everywhere, and it's likely to hit "fire sale" status soon, so just keep that in mind.
[ONE General] CrashTestDroid:
IMO the OPO basically is a Nexus 6. The light-weight feel reminds me of the N5, it's open and unlocked, world phone modem, super friendly to devs.
[ONE General] FITRS:
The back plate feels sexy smooth. So much so I'm afraid it will slip.

The yellow is a big suck factor. I can only assume OnePlus are taking the low yield screens from the more expensive OPPO Find 7a production line and using them as surplus low yield QA screens for the OnePlus One. Better use up these screens rather than throw them out is the thinking.

Chrome bezel. I don't mind it. I suspect it's not just a cosmetic feature but one that helps with the phone's strength.. and also possible impact damage.
[ONE General] eksasol:

[ONE General] anwedr:
I'm debating whether to purchase the OnePlus One and sell my Find 7a afterwards.

The two devices are nearly identical and I've grown to ColorOS even though it's still in its early stages.
[ONE General] BoostedSR20:
I got an invite this morning at 7am, no idea how or why. (I signed up on the OnePlus forum and made two posts back in the beginning) I went ahead and ordered it today. I currently have a G2. (had it since launch, probably the longest I've ever kept a phone) I can compare the two when the OPO arrives if anyone wants. :good:
