[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Venturio:
Went to the store today and got my Find 7a - it's available for retail here in the Philippines already.

First impressions (it came with ColorOS V1.2.0i based on 4.3):

Positives:

Screen and notification light are sexy as hell.

Camera is great, had to fiddle with the settings a bit though.

Phone feels physically powerful and lies well in my hands. Installed a bunch of apps and games, everything's running smoothly and very fast - everything's responsive.

Really impressed with OPPO's fast charging system, charged it from 9% to 100% in less than an hour.

Came with some nice in-ear headphones that, so far, sound better than any I've had shipped with a phone before.

Negatives:

Some peeps have mentioned the dim-lit capacitive buttons - I don't really mind this as you know where they are immediately from memory within an hour of using the phone. Perhaps we'll see some on-screen buttons soon (ala OnePlus One) but I tend to dislike them for eating up screen space.

Came with some bloat-ware (****ty games)

Some of the off-screen gestures are annoying, some are great. They're easily customized though.

Can't seem to get lockscreen widgets to work (such as DashClock, which works fine on the homescreen). If anyone has any tips here, I'd be happy to try them.

OPPO's own themes and its themestore are rather limited currently - hoping for this to expand or allowing for third party apps to take over.

Now I'm just trying to figure out how to safely root this thing so I can get some Xposed stuff going. Also wanna Greenify and get AdAway... though I doubt I'll need a custom ROM as I find OPPO's ColorOS far less obstrusive and annoying
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Chevyguy85:
To sort alphabetically go to settings > main screen > and then click the icon next to OPPO launcher.

Also if I remember right Google now comes up when you push and hold the home button. Throws me off as this was how I used to bring up recent apps on my old phone. I never use Google now so I froze it.

Tapped out on my beastly OPPO Find 7a
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] CollinFX45:
Thank you! I have been an Android user for three years and still would have NEVER found that. Much appreciated.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] boogie2001:
Has anyone noticed their 7a not keeping certain settings the way you wan them? I have ( many times), in settings, under sound, set my phone to NOT vibrate on touch and it mysteriously reverts back to on. I guess this is a bug? Anyone else seeing this?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] betold:
I rooted it with this ZIP http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/how-to-root-your-oppo-find-7a-w-oppo-recovery.11309/

I´m staying on the OPPO recovery until other roms are available.

No idea if xposed runs well, but the OPPO forums are woth a check, I think I saw something there.

I´m praying for CM11(S) or SlimROMs. That would be awesome.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Chevyguy85:
My Gmail notification noise seems to keep disappearing but I'm attributing that to the SD issues. I think my others sounds are from Color OS.

Tapped out on my beastly OPPO Find 7a
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Venturio:
Nope. Nothing of that sort here.

Yup, did that a while ago. Tried some Xposed modules but they didn't seem to be working even with SU and everything. I only tried two or three but got frustrated and left it at that.

Aside from that all other root apps work fine. I checked on the Xposed forums and saw it mentioned that the framework does have troubles with OPPO colorOS.

... regardless I'm glad to have F-Droid running so I got AdAway etc working. :3
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] anwedr:
I already mentioned that on the first page.

For example, Vibrate on touch is disabled (my config), when I turn ON Power Saving the setting should disable Vibrate on touch (by default). If I turn OFF Power Saving, Vibrate on touch is enabled (Really?!?!?!). :confused::confused:

It makes no sense.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] migueldias94:
So, i love the phone. The only cons would be the yellow tint, the partitioning and the sdcard0 sdcard1 architecture.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] geopatr:
Received mine a week ago

Great phone. I am loving it. Just rooted it last night. The easiest phone to root EVER!!! So far so good. No complaints. :D

From HTC Butterfly S

Hi guys, just traded in my 8 month old Butterfly S for this. Only played with it for a couple of hours and, I have to say, I'm truly impressed. It's the end of the road for me when it comes to HTC. I compared the BS with the M8 and I wasn't impressed at all. Same old crap when it comes to the camera and for that piece of metal, I had to fork out another fortune.

Ok, buildwise, the 7a is not premium, but it sure as hell makes up for it with everything else. Fast charging, motion launch, removable battery, beautiful large screen, great audio, nice headphones and I'll be checking out the camera over the next few days.

What a breath of fresh air coming out of HTC's spell. I've been with them since the O2 mini. It's so long HTC and hello Oppo.:D
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tacchan23:
I bought it yesterday.

I am experiencing problem with slow charging (about 70 minutes to 70% instead of the advertised 30 minutes).

Today I am going to Oppo service center and see if they can fix it or replace something.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] L0cke:
Just received the phone a few days ago:)

Here are my initial thoughts:

Packaging:

The box it comes in is lovely and looks so good. Everything packed nicely and gives a real premium feel.

Phone:

Holding the phone feels really nice. I was worried about the size as I am coming from a Nexus 4, but it fits great in my hand(s). The weight and the distribution is impressive, for a larger device it is very nice to hold and feels like it weighs less than it actually does. The position of the power button is perfect. Being a lefty I find it much easier to operate than my Nexus 4 which has the power button on the right.

Screen:

The screen is amazing. One of the best I have used. It’s crisp and a delight to use. Not much more to say really.

ColorOS:

I actually like ColorOS. The look and customisation that comes with these sorts of ROMs along with the built in apps are all plus points, so I have no problem with it. I find it looks much better than AOSP as the black/grey/blue just look a bit boring to me. The lighter colour and customised areas on the OS are much more pleasing to the eye, in my opinion. But people will always be divided on this as everyone has everyone has their own preference.

Other stuff:

I am so far not having any issues. I am not sure if I see the yellow tint that others have seen or not, I thought I saw it on some apps but in others I don’t. Maybe it’s my eyes or I have just adjusted to it, either way is not causing me any problems.

The speed of the phone is great and am loving the gestures. Haven’t really played with the Camera yet but a couple of shots I took look really sharp.

All in all, I am very happy so far and am sure will continue to be so.

If in any doubt about buying this, don't hesitate. One of the best phones out there at the moment… in my opinion.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marianoitalianoo:
HI

Just received mine

1 - build quality better than Nexus 5

2 - ColorOS - I am impressed how the Beta 2.0 looks.

3 - gestures -awesome ;)

4 - sound - extreme awesome

I am happy to announce that my "old" Nexus 5 is going on ebay ! :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] lesscro:
Receive Yesterday :

Updated to 2.0

Change Recovery to TWRP

Root as well

Sound = Awesome

Screen = Looks pretty good but i have yellow issue actually

Feature = Promising but some app use outdated method...

Result : Not too bad for my first "parralax" manufacturer !
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Servior:
Got my Find 7a today and updated to coloros 2.0.

When I try to set ringtone volume i have the options between loud and louder. Even on the lowest volume setting it's incredible loud. Is there a way to change this?

Until now I have my phone on vibration :/
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Turn down the maxxaudio filter.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DroidSK:
I have had mine for more than 2 weeks. Loved the phone right away for looks, display and audio. Feels more premium than the Samsung note n7000 I owned before.

Stock launcher is not so great. Installed nova launcher right away.

I have been using it daily with my lg bt headset and sony smartwatch2. Works like a charm.

And the stock camera is awesome. Several modes to use. It even shoots gifs ... something I had not seen on any other phone I had used. Picture quality in hdr mode is great when there is light. Without light or in dim light the picture is all messed up.

Noticed issues with battery drain. Had to turn off gesture support and wifi scanning. Still cell radio is the major battery user. Read elsewhere in the forums that oppo is aware of this and will fix it in an update soon.

SK
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marianoitalianoo:
I am going crazy, I am starting to like ColorOS, the screen off gestures / the swype from the bottom gestures / the notification toggles style , jsut installed Nova for launcher.

I need a doctor I guess
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] L0cke:
You're not going crazy. ColorOS is great and I don't know why everyone hates on it so much. Yes it's different but so what. Most people just take a quick look at it and pass it off as some iOS clone, when it is nothing like it, and is actually quite useful. I much prefer the light coloured, clean look over the dark boring look of AOSP. But I know everyone has their preference so this is a argument that will run and run...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marianoitalianoo:
agree, and I switched from N5 Kitkat and somehow I am fine with the Android 4.3 . Getting addicted to this gestures ... :) hope the final 2.0 will be here soon. Any news on the release date ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] L0cke:
No, and they don't seem to be too forthcoming with their update news. I heard something on Oppo forums that the Find 5 was getting v2.0 towards the end of June so hopefully before or around then.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marianoitalianoo:
shame, with that hardware of Find7 and more frequent updates they could do big waves on the mobile market
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Pick_A_Name:
How fast do you expect the update? The phone just came out a couple weeks ago and they have already put out a Color OS 2.0 beta. They also said on their site that a new version of 1.2 is coming to fix some of the large issues such as battery drain. And they have a running list of features that people are asking for that they're agreeing to add. Wow a company that actually listens to it's customers. And they made rooting very easy and it doesn't affect your warranty. All in all I'm very happy so far. Is it perfect? No. Is any device perfect? Not that I've ever used.patience my friend.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Aut0mat3d:
Received my Find7 last week and i am verry happy with it.

I am looking forward for a complete CM11 (Camera has to work correctly then i will install).

Disadvantages so far:

High battery drain (had a Jiayu G4 with uptimes up to 2 days) - ATM i have around 25% capacity left at the evening.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Pick_A_Name:
I'm not familiar with that phone. What's the screen size? Personally as long as I can get a whole day from it, I don't care. I charge it every night anyway. BTW Oppo is working on a fix for that anyway. There's a thread that discusses how to help with that. The biggest one for me was changing the lock screen from the default one.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Aut0mat3d:
the g4 is not compairable to the find 7, it has a 5" hd Screen and a mediatek soc....
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] jonoro11:
Hi, a friend of mine is seriously considering getting this phone vs the nexus 5 (which I have);

can anyone comment on image quality in low light (especially vs Nexus5, which does quite well with its hdr+)?

Do hdr or superresolution improve low light image quality? Thanks a lot.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] marianoitalianoo:
Ok, I started this thread so it is time for my thoughts after 2 weeks or so. I own Nexus 5 and Oppo Find 7a . I decided to send the Oppo Find 7a back, the hardware wise it is really good device, it feels even more premium than Nexus 5. What is a deal breaker for me is that the upcoming Color OS 2.0 is still based on Android 4.3. By the time the cOS 2.0 final will be released we can expect 4.5 That is two major updates back ...

I know that of course there will be a custom ROMs... the CM11S from oneplus is also running on the 7a (still some bugs ) but this is definitely the deal breaker for me ...

shame I was really excited about this device
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] blady-jack:
I use Find 7 week, earlier Note 3. Find 7a is a great, no major flaws, a lot of great advantages.

ColorOS is a very cool launcher.

Find will stay with me for a long time.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MasterLapa:
Coming from a Note 2 i can say that this is a great device! Stunning camera, great 1080p display, best speaker on a smartphone and no bugs/glitches so far :victory:

I am running 2.0 beta OS, can't really tell this is just a beta, battery is pretty good considered the hardware it's supporting (1 full day mid-heavy usage)

I'm very satisfied with it, can't wait for custom roms to come out :laugh:
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Jonathan.Parker2005:
Had the 7a for a week now and I've not been running it as my daily driver but so far I'm impressed.

I have a Xperia Z1 which is still running 4.3 and a Nexus 5 (my daily phone). Non of them are ROM'd just rooted. I have a GS3 that I mess around ROM'ing, but I just can't afford to jack up my phones (even though I have spares. Got the 7a as a phone that I can mess with that is known to have support within the community.

I did install ColorOS 2.0 beta and so far it's been running awesome. I had some huge battery drain but disabling the default lock screen fixed that issue, so far. I'm not seeing any bugs that have caused me to hate life. Organizing apps by alphabet was a unusually hidden option. not being able to add pages to the left of my home page is weird.

Overall, I'm pretty happy and it stacks up well to the phones I already have.

Also, it has call recording, haven't had that in a non ROM'd phone for years
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] engrkid:
Does ColorOS 2.0 remove the option to drag and drop home screen pages? On your home screen, perform a two-finger pinch, long press on a page to the right of your designated home panel, and drag it to the left.

I did notice that this does not apply to the full screen camera/music widgets/hubs which can only be placed to the right of the home screen. I agree that this is an annoying oversight.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tropical cactus:
In 2.0, to arrange icons alphabetically, you need to go to main screen in settings.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] pierreammoun:
1 Week with Oppo 7a

I received mine a week ago.

I must say the ColorOs is pretty basic..and very very buggy...

I forced myself to stay on it , trying to explore all its aspects... I believe it needs a looooooooooooooot of work...in order to compete with other ROMs.

So I installed CM11s. Works fine, few issues with sound and recording and picture upside down...

As for the hardware and design... I must say WOW. Really really nice device. I m not regretting any penny I spent on it. I got the White one. Very classy. Very neat and very stylish. Nothing to compare with my Galaxy note3 or even Galaxy S5 that I had for few days and I returned it...

I think in couple of weeks , this will be a killer Smartphone, when the ROMs will be more mature.. Now I am t try the Gummy..ROM...seems promising...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Carloskeee:
The vibration to me is not that strong. Also, my capacitive buttons barely light up. Anyone elses like this? Like there lit up, but very faintly. I LOVE THE BLUE LIGHT!!! Just wish it was at the top.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
My initial experience was mediocre because of ColorOS, but with CM11s it became better and now with gummy it's near perfect.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] pierreammoun:
Is everything is working under gummy ? I mean the high res Cam , the Audio ? the double-tap ? bluetooth ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Yes, all working fine.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Simmster:
Wait a while, random reboots are still occurring on Gummy Rom
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
I know I read about that.

Oddly enough though I didn't witness one yet.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] krabman:
I didn't have any reboots on gummy either and I seldom use the camera so the fact that it isn't quite up to par doesn't bother me. On the other hand I'm old and the call volume on Gummy is way low. The weakest I have ever (not) heard. At max its workable to me in a quiet environment but get some background noise in there and I simply cannot hear the other party. This isn't a shot at gummy, its a known issue they are working on and its early days. I'm nothing but impressed with where they are now and how quickly they got there. Still the call volume is not good and if you're older or otherwise not hearing well you may find it to be problematic enough to keep you off the rom till it gets sorted out.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] azeem40:
Unless those Custom ROMs keep the gesture support of Color OS, I will be sticking to Color OS.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] kishd:
Just got mm one a about a week ago. Using color is 1.2. This is definitely the best phone have ever had. Discovering the features of color os and am really pleased. I think I will stick with it for some time.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] J4nsen:
Got mine two weeks ago. I'm very happy, nice build quality. Sadly I have this yellow banding problem at the bottom of the screen :( I will propably send it back when it is in stock again.

btw: running omni rom. also very happy with that!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Jonathan.Parker2005:
Actually this worked.

Thanks for the tip. The more I delve into ColorOS the more I find out. Hopefully some of this stuff becomes more transparent.

Thanks again!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] chana:
OOT. anyone know when will 7 (without a) will be available?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] lesscro:
June, and ColorsOs 2.0 will come too... beta 2 or final, i don't know...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] azeem40:
So far, I really like color os. I didn't like what they changed in 2.0 beta so I didn't install it. What I really love is the fast charging. I have enough juice on my phone overnight that I can just charge it for about half an hr and have 100 percent battery. I also love the ability to draw gestures for certain actions. Only thing I kind of don't like is that the screen is pretty sensitive when scrolling down a page. Sometimes it would click when not needed. Otherwise, awesome phone.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tropical cactus:
Have you tried changing touch and hold delay to medium or long in accessibility setting? If it's set on short, it's meant to be ultra sensitive for gloves.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] seanpr123:
Let me mention, I HATED the touch screen/sensitivity on this phone until I switch to AOSP (Gummy ATM).

Then I realized how poorly ColorOS was optimized in that regard, at least compared to what I was used to.

x9077

I received the Find 7 (x9077) yesterday.

First impressions:

Wow!

Great phone.

No yellowish screen, great colour and brightness.

Visibly sharper than my HTC One (M7), I now cannot see pixel steps anymore.

Backlight of soft keys at the bottom is very dim.

Physical keys (on/off and volume) are a bit loose.

Ear buds have great audio quality

Phone speakers can go really loud without distortion.

Strange thing: when all volume levels are at 1 the notifications and ringtone are still abnormally (annoyingly) loud. I think this has to do with ColorOS.

Built in Data Monitor App (for setting data limits etc) crashes when opening settings...

Google Authenticator crashes when you try to setup..

I cannot use the fast charging (yet), because I received a Chinese version and it doesn't fit in Dutch wall sockets. :p

But overall an excellent phone!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Chevyguy85:
Turn off max audio equalizer if lowest volume is still too loud.

Tapped out with my dumb thumbs on my HP TouchDroid
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Govert:

That worked!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] potblack2win:
I recently contacted the oppostyle support team in regards to the yellow screen issue.

One of the representatives suggested to me that their is a newer batch not affected by the issue.

Govert - can you please provide me with the build date of your phone?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tobias14:
govert bought find7 QHD version

oppostyle was referring to find7A
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Govert:
Yup, the x9077.

The topics are mixed 7/7a, I noticed.

Another important experience:

Battery empties quite (very!) fast:

8:30 am at 100%

2 pm at 30%

And I did perhaps some hours playing around and an Antutu benchmark (score 37638, one test run drains 2%!!). No phone calls!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] potblack2win:
In regards to the battery drain.

The software engineer, thats reportedly working on the firmware of the device, reported that it was indeed a bug.

It has something to do with the lockscreen (standby mode).

What firmware of colorOS are you using with your find 7?

Is it available only in the US only ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] chana:
which one is better, 7 or 7a? there's group of people in my local country claiming that 7a has better screen and better camera shot. they said that 2K screen resolution is too overkill so the GPU needs to works harder than in 7a.

can please someone confirm?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] potblack2win:
Yes, your right.

Using 3GB of RAM is also pretty pointless right now.

Maybe when 64bit processors come into the mainstream, well see some added benefits.

The iPhone 5s - still uses 1GB of RAM

Unless your video encoding - 2GB will be sufficient

Fast charging all the time?

Hey guys!

I'm considering buying the Find 7a, as soon as the Midnight Version is in stock on Oppostyle Europe...

Is it right, that the Find 7a is only shipped with the VOOC Charger?

I'm wondering if the battery is fine with fast charging all the time or is there any info, that you should use an alternative charger with normal voltage output?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Yes vooc only but no no harm done.

The vooc charger regulates itself in conjunction with the heat and charge values reported by the kernel.
