Nah it's not that, still some delay at zero. My N4 has all three on 1x. I suppose I should try a wipe and reinstall if it's instant for everybody else
[ONE General] GTCC:
A right well I can't help then. I had the setting on zero and changed it to 0.5x because it was too fast if that makes sense.
[ONE General] Salty Wagyu:
I just tried something, changed the performance profile to Performance instead of Balanced and the window switching feels more snappy now. No idea what impact this will have on battery but I have a good feeling Franco's kernel will be snappy out of the box - just not going to try it yet until it's considered a bit more stable!
[ONE General] leximu5:
Personally, I simply LOVE this phone. I don't seem to have the screen yellow band problem people are reporting here. The only issue I've had is the random unlocking/app launching when in my pocket, and I solved it by disabling CM11's screen gestures. Other than that, all I have to say about this phone is that it has a gorgeous looking screen, the phone itself is beautiful and performs as good as a Nexus device (I previously owned a Nexus 4). And that's without mentioning the ridiculously affordable price, although I think the invitation system is a little too much.
[ONE General] jlevy73:
I also work in China but got an invite and my colleague hand carry over the international version to Beijing. In looking over the bands it should support China unicom's 3G but was never able to get it. What have you done to get 3G? Have you tried it on China mobile? Wondering if you are able to get 4G coverage although China mobile LTE requires bands 38,39 and 40 and the international version only has 38 and 40.
[ONE General] xanthene:
From what I got from the Chinese OnePlus forums, there is actually no difference in the hardware of the int'l release version and the China version ... which makes sense. As a start-up company that has so much difficulty meeting the existing demand, I don't think they would waste time by producing different hardware versions. Apparently, the reason that the phone does not support 3G on China Unicom has to do with licensing and the fact that China favors its own TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE over the European standard. So 3G is actually disabled in software.

Long story short, I flashed this baseband. There is also a post here on XDA, but I haven't tried that one yet.

Since this off-topic I will send you a PM.
[ONE General] Quinnaay:
Had this phone three weeks. The positives are simple, the aesthetics and build quality for a device at this price is outstanding the phone fits and feels really nice in the hand. The next thing has to be CyanogenMod which is fast bloat free and very customisable. The battery life is outstanding I easily get a days use out of this and dont feel rushing for a charger like I did with my S4. The sound from the speakers are really loud and rather clear. The ease to root and customise without voiding warranty is also pleasing. I've ran numerous benchmarks and compared my OPO to the G3 which it absolutely knocks out the park on most fronts. Now for things I dislike firstly I have the yellow band if it wasn't for this the screen would easily be a 10/10 it's truly great but this is the main thing that annoys me daily will I get over it I'm not too sure. Secondly Ghost swipes and multi touch issues which makes typing at time difficult more so with swiftkey. Thirdly the call volume isn't too great which I hear is being fixed in an upcoming patch and finally the camera leaves me with dissapointment don't get me wrong you can take some high quality pictures with it but the lack of Optical image stabilisation makes blurry shots appear more than they should and irritates me when trying for quick snaps.

Overall excellent product would recommend especially for the price but there are flaws which need to be fixed and most hopefully can. There's no better phone out there at the moment if there were id consider a switch but there are many positives that makes me think the very few problems it has aren't worth parting with for.
[ONE General] YrrchSebor:
It's slightly disappointing that my Note 3, even with the TREMENDOUS TW bloat, feels more smooth and polished and easier to use than CM 11s on the One. I do think they will improve it with updates tho. Also I have to consider that the One is half the price of the Note3!

As others have said, i do find many positives with the One, such as build quality, specs, etc.
[ONE General] srikat:
This is the first time when someone said that CM11s is not smooth. Surprising.
[ONE General] YrrchSebor:
It is smooth for sure but I think for me it's just the touchscreen issues that make it seem harder to use. Sometimes I'll have to touch twice to get it to respond. And then typing can be a drag. And I could swear sometimes there are hiccups on 11s where it can take time to go where it's going.

What is your experience with it?
[ONE General] srikat:
Unusable due to the weak cellular reception, not being able to make/receive/end calls issue.

It is fine after flashing Mahdi.

I have been doing some research and collecting all similar reports. See

Damn, I haven't had that issue that I recall. Although, I have felt like the button on my headphones often won't end the call like I'm used to. So maybe I am experiencing that too..
[ONE General] pifsworld:
Had mine over a week and its great love it and the size is good not had any issues with it what more can you say about a phone with top spec and 64gb memory for under £300 buzzing.
[ONE General] selayan:
I've had mine for a week or so now. Spec wise the phone is excellent. It's quick and I'm not noticing any response issues.

Although, I'm not happy with it. In all my years of using cell phones this is the first phone where the screen, bottom half of it looks dirty. I read a lot of news and articles and when I scroll up, I see my text go from dirty tinted to crisp white. It really ruins the experience for me.

I tried setting it in the sun, uv lamps, playing with color settings. Nothing is making it go away. I sent a support ticket asking for a refund.

Otherwise if it was not for the screen I would like to keep it as it's pretty customizable and seems to be very easy to use too.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I come from Nexus 4 for 17 months, Nexus 5 for 2 months, OPO for a little over 1 week of active use.

The N4 was good for me til I really tried to use it often, and I found the storage the primary problem, 16GB was full too easily and having to manager data. I also was using the N4 as a backup from my laptop using SSH server and rsync server and EDS encryption on the phone, and during backups the phone dialling part was buggy.

So then I became aware of the OPO. I soon realized it was hype, expectations well above a startup's capability so I bought the N5 in May for $385 delivered, on the premise if/when the OPO comes out I can then judge do I sell the N5 for roughly $50 loss, or .... The N5 is perfect apart from battery life, for which I leave house with USB battery, and longer trips I use a N7 for bigger screen and to not use the N5's battery.

I sold my N4 for $245 in UK.

OPO.

Pros:

64GB for me means end of thinking about storage, I throw everything at it. 64GB produces more useful space than a phone+tablet each 32GB.

Big screen, easier to watch stuff, meaning not so much carrying a tablet for watching stuff.

Good battery life, but I still carry a USB slim battery just in case for the full heavy day out situation.

Cons:

the phone is way too big, massive, it doesn't fit in many places which matter for me.

the screen brightness is not bright enough, in dayligt I can easily see the N5, OPO is hard work, need to make a shadow to see the screen.

still buggy in places I can tolerate but its now been in beta-test for months so signs the initial energy of CM to patch is slowing, their bored with OPO I can tell.

My N5 went to my wife who needed to get a smartphone and the N5 is great, apart from battery life, and she simply cannot handle the OPO.

My daughter still needs a phone, she said she'd put up with the OPO's size but her need is so slight I'd not spend $360 to buy another OPO, i'll wait for better than OPO, and then cascade OPO down.

So basically, if OPO made their phone the size of the N5 but kept price, battery, storage, the same then I'd be 100% pleased, but as is, its added and it has subtracted.

OPO, good specs for the price but too big.
[ONE General] seanwlk:
buy it

What can I say... on paper its amazing but come on... let us buy it
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I bought 3 turned one away gave invite to a member who made sensible comments.

Everyone who truly wanted one has one.

The invite system doesn't suit the me me now now types:p
[ONE General] seanwlk:
i've been looking for invites for months on forums...
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
Well I was active. I got 5 invites refused 1 gave 1 away and bought 3 of which I'm typing on the most recently delivered.

I accept it is hard to get but it is still true those who really wanted have already. The one I gave away was to someone genuinely interested and involved and not expecting perfection.
[ONE General] GTCC:
I got 3 of them in total and I decided I prefer my HTC M8 so I put my sim back into it and put the Oneplus Ones up for sale. In just 3 hours I had sold 2 of them, I'm going to keep the other opo.

The main reasons I prefer the M8 over the opo is it's smoother and I like the feel of the M8 better. I think the size of the opo is perfect.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I think the size of the nexus 5 is perfect but..... I'm waiting for Nexus 5 price drop then buy it then sell an OPO or cascade/sell it. i don't want a used mobile phone, not at >$300 price. I've got used tablets before but they <$200 and there's less to go wrong with a tablet.

Got my OPO on its case in my pocket, I really do sense it when in the case.

Enjoy the M8. I can't find fault of the OPO in terms of if stationary one-handed or two-handed, and fast and really bug-free, well almost but the N5 is about about as bug-free really. Small bugs like it doesn't seem to rotate portrait/landscape that fast can't find a sensitivity setting, but my Nexus 10 has the same sluggishness. N5 seems about right.
[ONE General] selayan:
I'm going to wait a long time for my refund. I'll probably just wait until the nexus 6 is out and buy that. The yellow band is driving me nuts. I'm keep asking myself why have I switched phones so many times and never had such an issue it's very strange.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I thought you had 14 day fast refund option? PayPal protection?

I've bought 3 OPO and none had yellow band issues. Tough luck.
[ONE General] selayan:
Haha I wish it was fast refund. You have to open a support ticket. It's been open a week. I asked for a refund or replacement. Attached pictures of dirty yellow band. It was last viewed 9 hours ago and no reply.

After they approve it they send a link to you in like another 3 days to fill out an rma for refund. Then I hear you wait a week for approval. You then send it back. Not sure how because users are still reporting a courier has to contact you and pick up the phone. I'm leaving the state on vacation Friday but I'm taking everything with me.

Then after they receive it they take their sweet old time to refund you in PayPal as it has to go back to China. So I'm thinking by the time I get my money back minus shipping, which again users that tried this got charged $60, the nexus 6 will be out haha.

I could try and sell it on eBay but I would probably loose some money and on Swappa a lot of people are asking about yellow bands and I'm not going to lie about it either.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
Sorry to his hear about your difficulties.

The thought comes to mind if something is too good to be true....

Part of how they made it high spec cheap is the China replacement.

I bought a N5 in may and happy to rough it on that if my OPO was bad. I waited a week then gave N5 to Mrs Geek.

I'm typing this on my OPO and still missing the N5 I'm thinking all sorts like buy a used N5 and swap sim based on type of need. OPO is huge which is good when meaning not carrying tablet but bad when all you need is a phone.
[ONE General] selayan:
The nexus five should drop price in October. The 6 should be out by then or November. The opo is big and you have to be careful with it if you don't have big hands or are trying to use it one handed while doing something else but to me the size is not an issue.

I agree, it was too good to be true. Many times I've thought this and in many cases that's how it is. It's cheap price is due to the bad design of the screen and other areas where corners were cut.
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
N4 price drop was end August. N5 announced end October. That is my assumption for the unannounced N6.

OPO is good value. No more. The hype worked on so many people I let an invite lapse as I was very so so but figured why not as can sell for a profit if don't like. I'd miss the not thinking about storage or battery I'd I went down to N5.
[ONE General] selayan:
I just wish I would have gotten one of the good ones. The screen on mine looks like an old page out of a wet book.

I used to have a 16gb DNA and storage was slim. My current 32 gb htc one m7 is doing alright but 64gb is great. One of the things I also like is the battery size since I'm a heavy user and it will last me throughout work and the ride back home steaming music.

It's too early for me to think if I get another invite if I would give it another order after I get my money back. I feel like it's like playing roulette at the moment. I hope the nexus 6 comes in 64gb.
[ONE General] tee00max:
I just traded someone my LG G3 on AT&T for a Brand new sealed One Plus One 64GB Sandstone and first impressions is that I love it so far! I can't really tell if I have one that has the yellow tint on the screen but if it does then its not bothering me right away. Phone is 10x faster than the G3 which I rooted and debloated. So right now im still in the tinkering phase and will be diving into this phone deep within in the next few days. I feel as its so smooth that I dont even have to root it but I know the root itch will get to me....
[ONE General] barondebxl:
I hope they gave you cash on top of the OPO.
[ONE General] SolarTrans:
I was lucky to sell my 3 week old OPO (as of August 1st) for a Z Ultra GPE and $220 cash. I then turned around to sell the Z Ultra for $300.

Being an early supporter actually paid off!
[ONE General] gtg465x:
Yup. I was able to trade my OPO for a new, unopened 32 GB HTC One M8. Liking it a lot more. Easier to use with one hand, less bugs, smoother performance, no yellow band on screen, better speakers, IR, same battery life. Only thing that might be a downgrade is the camera. And I miss the sandstone material. It had great texture and grip.
[ONE General] polaris68:
I already had a M8 before I got the OPO and I'm leaning towards selling the M8. Despite the larger size, the sandstone texture of the OPO means it feels more secure in my hand. The M8 is a beautiful phone but slippy as hell without a case - I generally don't use cases but the M8 went straight into one. I'm getting better battery life on the OPO which along with the superior camera swings it for me.
[ONE General] tee00max:
No I didn't want cash on top of the phone. It was just a straight up trade brand new device for brand new device. I just wanted to get rid of that G3.
[ONE General] barondebxl:
I see. Whatever makes you happy at the end of the day :)
[ONE General] Raistlin1:
Finally got an invite, my forum member number is in the 66,000 range. Now I just need to determine if I want to buy it or not, been reading a lot of unhappy customers and lots of complaints about their customer service. Originally figured I could sell it and not lose money but many are asking sellers if the screen has the yellow stripe. Would hate to buy it and have a defect that lowers value and they are not even acknowledging the defect for returns.

I have an N5 that I like but I have a weakness for new phones and on paper the one plus looks great, I have about 15 hours to decide...
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
Repeat of my 3rd OPO purchase. I'd bought for my son and then a neighbor and then got an invite I thought for myself. Exact same thoughts you have now. I let the claimed invite lapse then figured if I got a yellow band I'd complain to credit card and PayPal and OPO and if I didn't get or problems if I didn't like I'd sell for no loss. I then ordered yes from a lapsed invite go figure. Phone no issued using it now. Don't like it's size but I think it's the trend as way to fit in bigger battery?

Still thinking will sell on if N6 better or get a used N5 and move sim around to suit the day or something. OPO is huge and the feeling not gone as I get to 2 weeks usage.
[ONE General] waiters:
Hopefully OPPO designes a better phone next time around and I'll be in line. I will be following them. See u guys next year
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
Indeed and of course hope is helped by One plus being a success. I have helped 5 people get an OPO and ensured each was needing a phone of this type and will evangelise. Today I arranged an invite for a guy I met in a local phone store.

If One Plus succeed and survive I agree they could make a better phone.

There have been some out of proportion criticism of OPO which is odd as there are sufficient real issues to be honestly raising. About half the criticism is caused by forums who raise issues a user would not never be concerned with unless they been primed by negative forums.
[ONE General] nohcho:
Huh?
[ONE General] Z51:
I'm glad I don't have the yellow band issue. My device seems solid. :)

Sent From My 1+1
[ONE General] selayan:
I finally got the link from support to fill out for rma to return for a refund. They would not acknowledge the yellow band. Each time I mentioned it, I got a cut paste reply saying the screens vary and they are warm and that the light source is at the bottom.

I then stated there are several YouTube reviews and other members with the yellow band mentioned and it does affect my daily use.

I also stated that if this was a feature by design they should put a disclaimer on their website stating so.

After that they replied a day later with the refund link. I will ship the device to the US warehouse myself. Of course after how ever long they take to approve my online form.

Not sure if I want to take a chance to buy another one. The phone is great tech wise but I feel it would be a gamble as the yellow band issue affects my daily use.

You can state if you want to sell it, that it is unopened. But then again what would be the point unless you try to make $20-30 out of it.

I figure by the time I get my refund the nexus 6 will be out in October and I'll just buy that.

Bluetooth range

Have you guys noticed a weaker bluetooth/wifi signal compared to previous phones? I'm coming from the One M7 and noticed that my bluetooth speakers break up at a smaller distance than with the HTC. The reception isn't bad, I'm just curious as to whether the M7 had exceptional range or the Oneplus has a smaller range than usual.
[ONE General] Quinnaay:
My wifi and Bluetooth are the same as my old S4 and girlfriend G3
[ONE General] nigelhealy:
I like the OPO's insides not its outside. I am thinking of two phones and swap to suit the day. Most days I'm actually prefer the Nexus 5 size, some days I prefer OPO's size. At current handset prices I can't justify owning both.

The geeks driving up handset sizes are ruining it for 90% who don't want phablets. The vendors are responding with either large+fast or small+slow.
[ONE General] adibeckett:
From what I'm reading/hearing, it seems "normal" users are going for phablets since you can combine usage. Hell, a family member of mine has the Sony Z Ultra which is 6.4 inches and he's not a geek. Using his Sony ultra a few times has made the Opo seem "smaller" to me than it really is.

At first I was turned off by the phone's size, but I've grown accustomed to it. I still have my Nexus 5, and while I think that's a perfect size, I love the extra real estate on the 1, and upgraded speakers. It's a tad heavy, and I'd hate to see what would happen if you dropped it without a case on. That being said, it definitely feels premium. I wanted to test the phone a few weeks before selling my N5, and even though I experience a bug here and there, it's not enough to make me ditch the 1+One.
[ONE General] warlynx:
This phone's performance is excellent, but it easily overheats in my particular one, dunno if it's just me or in every phone.
[ONE General] snowwhite007:
Love my One im also fortunate enough to have the M8 and S5 and N5 and I would say I love this the One and M8 equally
[ONE General] coolkingler1:
I will tell you my experience with it when I actually have it on the 23rd of August. Buying it brand new still unopened box from a guy in the Netherlands here and reading the negativity here... Wow, can some people complain less please, I am sure many of these problems are way overblown.

-The phone being too big does not count as an issue like wtf guys, it says right there in the specs, 5,5 inch, you should have known better

-Yellow band could be an issue, could be fixed with UV

-CM11 S some say it's smooth others say it's buggy as hell.

I just hope the battery life is excellent. :)

I got this phone Monday and I'm absolutely in love. Coming from my iPhone 5s, and this thing is amazing. One of the best android phones/Experiences I've had. Maybe it's better because I had the 30o update waiting for me lol
[ONE General] Raistlin1:
I didn't order the one plus, was staring at my N5 thinking what is wrong with it that I want to get the one plus? Nothing is wrong with it and L is on its way so decided to not go down the rabbit hole. Hate how the company is doing this invite system and it's basically beta testing right now. Customer service issues, phone hardware and cm11s issues just kept me away for now as well as the N6 that is supposed to be soon.

Plus I just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 on sale so need to be mindful on my spending vs need for new electronics.

Smart. I feel bad for the poor souls desperate for invites. They have no ideas how much the yellow band and customer service will annoy them.
