In the process of jumping.... worried about it

I'm in the process of jumping to a OnePlus One from a Nexus 5. The battery life in my Nexus 5 has become terrible - and a friend recommended the OnePlus One, so I ordered one (its yet to arrive). However, I'm starting to regret my decision - as I hear it doesn't have lollipop? I also saw a drop test video on youtube where it gets scratched to bits and the screen cracks up..... As someone who regularly drops his Nexus 5 without any real damage, this is a concern. Indeed, I dropped my nexus and accidentally kicked it with my steel toed boots - I was working 20 feet up at the time, installing a billboard.... so it fell some distance. It bounced a bit, but was left unscathed (save for a few scratches). Have I made the wrong decision? Is the OnePlus One a better choice than the Nexus? I've also been told I lose google now and 'ok google'?

Thanks,

I jumped from a Nexus 5 and I'm completely satisfied with my OPO.

You can have Ok google and such, It's been said we will have always listening on CM12S, you can also get a glass screen protector to protect that precious 5.5 inch 1080p screen and all it's glory from being scratched and broken, a decent TPU case would help as well with drops. I have a orzly bumper case and a PThink Tempered Glass screen protector and I've dropped my phone plenty of times and it's fine.

From N4 to get more battery life and better camera.
[ONE General] AdManDo:
Cool - so provided I wrap it up, all should be well. I also ready that battery life on the OnePlus One with Cyanogen is awful? (although my buddy said it was better than the Nexus 5). I probably should have done some research before buying one, rather than just relying on my mates say-so.... so fingers crossed its better than my nexus 5, has good battery life and I wont regret it :)

Cheers

I've had up to 6 hrs and 30min. of screen on time with my OPO on CM, my Nexus 5.. not so much. I use my phone all day for everything and I can make it from 0530 to 2200 with about 20-25% battery left.
[ONE General] AdManDo:
Nice. My Nexus 5 typically drops some 60% after I watch three 10 minute youtube videos
[ONE General] TheROMGuy:
Yea.. No. I've Never had that problem on my OPO, I watch a ton of YouTube videos.
[ONE General] tameracingdriver:
I came from an HTC One M8. Reason, screen too small. Camera was crap as well - although I was generally OK with it so that wasn't really the reason, but the OPO camera definitely seems a decent chunk better. The even better battery life was a welcome bonus.
[ONE General] neilvj:
Just got my find 7 a few days ago, wonderful phone. Since then I've unified the storage and switched over to nameless ROM and added the original camera app back on so I am even happier with it.

For anyone on the fence, DON'T BE.

I was on the fence for some time. I've had the Nexus 5 basically from launch. My wife had the SGS5. I finally ordered the 1+1 and it's great. My initial and only hesitation, and reason I held back was the size. While I'm not thrilled, it's not at all an issue. Yeah, there's some adjustment, but it's negligible.

If you're curious, don't be, go for it. If this helps one person who was watching this thread like I was, I'll be happy.
[ONE General] ravikeshri_0341:
I am also living on the edge of confusion whether to sell my Nexus 5 and do go either for 1+1 or galaxy S5...u seems to be a perfect man to ask the same..i would have gone for S5 but in India they do not provide snapdragon processor + pathetic os updation from samsung....

I am attracted towards amoled display ..but processor+os blot dragging me back...i love nexus 5 but battery too bad :(

So you tell me ..

1.whether it is better to go for 1+1

2.how is 1+1 screen in comparison to Nexus 5 and S5

3. Battery performance compared to Nexus 5?

Please help ;) cant take this battery crap of my lovely Nexus 5 any more :(
[ONE General] coldflid:
Not a wise choice hahaha
[ONE General] pnut22r:
If you don't mind the size, the 1+1 is perfect.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED my Nexus 5. My favorite hardware I've ever owned. It will be sorely missed. But it was time for "more" and the 1+1 is the only thing that made sense for me. Screen is great. I think the color is better than N5. Also, because if the battery, I can keep the brightness higher. On my N5, I had to keep brightness down to save battery.

Vs AMOLED screen? It's fine for me. I don't really care about that stuff. Amoled looks great, so does LCD IPS. I couldn't buy an S5 because of software. I know myself, and I wouldn't like Touchwiz. It's tolerable, but not for my daily driver. Given the chipset in the Indian version, I wouldn't even consider.

Again, if size isn't an issue, go for it. It's as great device.

Camera is better on 1+1 than N5, but only marginally in my opinion.

Battery is WAY WAY WAY better. No even a challenge. If you're looking for something that lasts literally twice as long, you've found your device. I'm quite certain the 1+1 has the best battery of most phones.

Good luck. Feel free to ask any more.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

I know this isn't a battery thread, but to continue my last comment.

This is so far this morning. Notice the estimated time. My N5 would estimate 3-4 hrs SOT. Yesterday, my 1+ got just shy of this, over 6hrs. The difference to me is, on my N5, I had to uninstall apps, or use Greenify to keep decent battery. On the 1+ I have any apps I want, all syncing, plus GPS and Bluetooth, and everything you can imagine. If the N5 could give me 3-4hrs in that scenario, I would've been happy, but it would've been dead in 2hrs with that scenario.

Hope this helps.

Finally made the final step onto an OPO. Coming from an S3 i9300 I had the past 3 years.

Eagerly awaiting its arrival later this week
[ONE General] Andromendous:
I got lucky and traded my N5 for a oneplus, my girlfriend has a GS5, and it is horrible. It lags like a nintendo 64, Shes been through 3 of them, and they have been nothing but a hassle.

After having the N5 for about a year, and now the oneplus for a few weeks, i can confidently say that the one plus makes up for everything i had to complain about my N5. Battery is 10 times better, camera is better, the speaker on this thing will make you lose your hearing, and for Christ sake its a 64 gig!

I'll tell you what someone ells told me. Don't even think about it, just DO IT!

As for the size, its not that bad. Its really not a WHOLE lot bigger than the N5, those people that say that anything bigger than 5 inches just have tiny hands. If thats your case, well then no offense.
[ONE General] Argurth:
I came from a Galaxy S2, I think it's pretty obvious why I switched phone :p
[ONE General] Nick James:
I switched from a galaxy S5. I will not buy another Samsung product again. Especially if AT&T is backing it. The locked bootloader and inability to up grade the OS in a timely manner is ridiculous.

The lag from S5 is also a joke. I've had an S4 and then the S5 and Samsung does *not* have touchwiz dialed in. I can't believe I tolerated it for the last two years.

I do miss the screen but after 48 hours of use, I hardly notice.

The size difference is hardly noticeable. I honestly though OPO would be a heavier phone, it's not.

The speakers on this phone are best on any handset I've ever owned.

The digitizer is very responsive or maybe that's the not lagging. I rarely mistyped words anymore.

I'm thoroughly impressed.

I've been using the phone for about 4 days now.

Cheers

I jumped seven months ago from lg g2. I liked more how the g2 fitted my hand, but opo has more roms and kernels to choose from, no warranty void if I flash something, better camera and bigger screen. Altrought during the past two months as I've noticed, opo's screen isn't really shock resistent as I've cracked three screens.

[ONE General] gsmyth:
[emoji47] Have you fixed/replaced the screens yourself or replaced the device? Do you use glass screen protectors? If not I would recommend one as they tend to take the impact and break instead of the actual screen and so a lot easier and cheaper to replace.
[ONE General] VenomousSVT:
i came from an iphone 5s to my OPO... will sell the OPO and run a 6 plus (s) or whatever the new one is called in september. Ecosystem, its all about the Ecosystem. Although my OPO is the best phone ive ever owned. Ive never been able to run an android device for more than a few months before selling it and moving somewhere else. Ive dropped android for windows phone and been happier. But because of the ecosystem ill end up back on ios in the fall more than likely.

Technically iPhone 3GS, but that's only because I had to return my Note 3 late last year. Now this is way better spec wise to the Note 3 (outside of the S-Pen) and I have no doubt in my mind if I get an invitation to purchase -- this will be my next phone.
[ONE General] WillofWillz:
Switching from: 2 months old Nexus 5

Reason: Although the Nexus 5 is a great phone on it's own I miss the size of the Note 2, which I had before the Nexus 5. The Nexus 5's camera is also pretty mediocre compared to most of the cameras on the market. The price tag and the fact that I can probably break even by selling my Nexus 5 and get a Oneplus is a pretty great thing as well.
[ONE General] magnamentis:
i wanna replace my note II N7100 because of the limitations which hit the development for that device hard

i mean the limitations ( much more work for devs ) which come with it's exynos chipset. not many good kitkat

roms available and kernelwise it's just two ok ones, while only one of them works with CAF based roms and they are not

comparable in quality with the kernels i can choose for my nexus 5. so right now, qualcom chipsets it is

and 5.5" display is the minimum for the purpose i use the note which i'm replacing. for normal phones

5" is ok but i need one phablet for navigation and media consumption

Current Devices:

I9100, PAC-ROM 4.3.1 ( Formerly Omni, PA, Dorimanx, etc. )

N7000, 4.1.2 TouchWizz All Stock ( very motivating to continue flashing custom roms further haha.... )

N7100, Cyanogenmod 11, Xposed Framework ( Formerly AOSNP, PAC, Omni, PA, Devil, Thor, AGNI up to 2.7.6, etc. )

Nexus 4, Cataclysm 4.4.2, Franco Kernel r203, Dalvik & Bionic Patched, Xposed Framework ( Formerly PAC, PA, Cataclysm, Faux, etc. )

Nexus 5, Cyanogenmod 11, ElementalX & Chaos, Xposed [intermittent use], ( Formerly Cataclysm, Franco & FKU Color Control, Dalvik & Bionic, Faux, Bricked, etc. )

My Galaxy Note 3, why? Knox made me lose interest in mods, roms, development and all those things made it fun owning flagship phones in the past. Always HTC in the past, tried Samsung due to Note 3 hardware made it worth the contract at the moment. But I'll trade my Note 3 for the sake of moding and development when it is released in sweden. Not done donations to devs since my HTCOneX, most donations were to HTC HD2 devs. And if Oneplus one stands out to be that great phone it promise to be I'll give back much of the software dev. cost that is lowering the selling price.

Sony promised open bootloader, but I never got into that, nexus 5 had drawbacks like no SD reader and just are a bit small for the 2013+.

[ONE General] mazdarati2:
Ohhhh not like that. I smashed my HTC :p
[ONE General] LiquidSolstice:
Oh, go cry us a river somewhere else.

No, they recieved the most of their attention because it's running CM, an ultra high end processor, 3GB of RAM, a highly advanced 5.5" display, a 13MP camera, and they're selling the 64GB version for less than a 16GB Nexus 5.

Also, it's hilarious that you're so concerned about "lies" when you own a phone built by a company that repeatedly spikes up all the CPUs and GPUs only when certain benchmark apps are run. I guess the self-righteousness does not extend to Samsung, eh?

Far more powerful than the Nexus, runs stock Android, huge amount of storage, and a camera that doesn't suck. That's what attracted people. Don't delude yourself, please.

On the topic of the thread, I'm going to leave behind my Nexus 5. I'm on my 5th RMA, and I am done with LG and their quality control. At the point where I am, literally anything must be better than this thing.

If I get an invite, this will replace my Nexus 5. Might pass on the N5 to a family member. I love my N5 but the OPO looks to have the one thing I wish I had, a larger battery.
[ONE General] galaxie500fb:
For the people who ask about it being able to comfortably fit into your pocket I can honestly say that I wear regular fit jeans and my LG g pro with a 5.5 inch screen fits very well. I'm so accustomed to carrying a larger phone that sometimes I have to tap my pocket just to make sure I didn't forget it. I'm also a mechanic for heavy equipment so I sit in different equipment everyday in many different positions. The only time I would have to adjust my phone in my pocket is when I ride my motorcycle. Just a lil shift to the left or right. I'm 50 years old and my eyes don't focus as well as they used to that's why I started using larger screen phones. I'll never go back to a smaller screen. My apologizes for rambling. Bring on the one!

[ONE General] CZ Eddie:
The astronomical amount of ignorant but completely obsessive fan-boys are quickly turning me off on this phone.

Great phone for the price. Maybe even "the best" for the price.

But when you enter "regardless of price" as a factor, it drops waaay down the list of preferred phones (for me) if you are needing any of the various premium features that most superphones have these days.

I will *probably* buy the phone.

But I'm not certain. I really want many things its missing.

CM11 is really the only thing it has going for it. Otherwise, it'll be outdated spec-wise within a month or two of release.
[ONE General] The Jack of Clubs:
Well no shyte Sherlock. It is definitely the best phone for the price, and definitely not the best phone if price is no factor. But that's not the point. It is better than phones that are twice it's price. It's a cyanogenmod phone, meaning the software focuses on customization and personalization, not manufacturers skins and bloat. I don't think anybody is considered a fanboy because nobody owns one yet. Yes people are excited about it, is an interesting device, and this is the place to discuss it. If it's "turning you off" then leave.

connector boards because I've screwed up/dropped it a small distance with it plugged in, it's on its 2nd battery, 2nd ext SD

card, 3rd cheap slim case. Still rocking 4.1.2 because it is just flat stable for my use.

KNOX, if it could be exercised from the note 3 easily, might be an option, BUT, it would have to come down in price A LOT.

I'm in no hurry....July, Aug, wouldn't bother me a bit.
