[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mikey_sk:
got this phone. have to say i am so unimpressed with Color OS. The firmware has some serious problems. I am desperate to wipe this phone but no custom recoveries are available yet that work for the X9077, tried the ones for the 7A via fastboot but they do not work.

where to begin (and this is using the Chinese ROM)

phone dialler: does not recognise any phone stored in intentional format. If someone calls you the number and not the name shows up.

to make things worse, the SMS app is the opposite, if you do not store the number as international format, only the number shows and not the name

someone in Oppo China is smoking crack!!!!!

3GB application memory is just awful, and even if you choose phone memory to store apps, they crash most of the time!

call volume on ear speaker waaaaaaay too low.

I tried to flash the international rom for the x9067 but it crashes on language selection.

The phone itself is stunning.

The software is its biggest let down.

CANNOT WAIT to wipe this horrific excuse of firmware that is Color OS and install a decent ROM that can really handle this brilliant phone.

wow- how did you get it to work with twrp? i've tried and no luck

---------- Post added at 01:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

the international x9006 / x9076 will have band 20 / 800 mghz support for Voda UK and all other UK networks. The x9077 will work on EE and 3 4G no problem but NOT O2 and Voda 4G as it doesn't have band 20. Oppo's susidiary One Plus with its One Plus One for example does not support band 20 at all so steer cleer unless you are on 3 or EE in the UK.

The phone itself is great. Lots of tedious steps to make coloros 1.21i to run smoothly. Now my phone is fast and stable with titanium backup is working.. Hopefully near future update will iron out the bugs..
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] JameZUK:
Cough

This appears to work on the X9076. YMMV but so far its about a million times better than ColorOS... Enjoy!

Got my 7 today in the UK - WOW! Lovely phone

First thing I did was download a dead pixel checking app from the play store - all good and the screen is fantastic and definitely no yellow tint :) Screen is plenty bright, colour tone looks good to me and the backlight is nice and even, with no light bleed visible in a fairly dimly lit room. Fantastic!

Really well made device, feels solid and my first hour with color OS 1.2.1i have been as expected - seems ok, but like any device with an OS skin it will never be to everyone's taste.

Google account synced ok and I made a few test calls, sent and received a few test messages, etc - all working well. Others had complained that they were only shown the number of the caller and not the ID (name), but it worked as expected for me and the caller ID popped up as normal.

Also read complaints that Google now took them to Beijing when asking for weather, etc - simple to fix, just change the default language in Google Now and download the English UK offline voice recognition pack from the settings menu.

Regarding size - I had the original galaxy note and that felt really big in the hand, this feels really nice, the buttons are nicely placed to be used easily and because it is narrower than other large devices it feels comfortable - Good job Oppo :)

Very, very pleased with it so far - the i Like power bank that came with mine looks like a quality product too

Color OS is growing on me - I am not what you would call a power user and it looks like it may be a keeper for me, will see how it goes over the next week or so

Anyone get the Oppo case with it? Got some hi-res pics of it in it?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] bisto321:
I ordered the blue official case with it (why don't they do black?) and I have not used it yet - not sure if I like the colour?

Looks decent quality, but I might put it on eBay and get a Nillkin grey or black one.

I can pop the case on and take a few pics if you like - any particular angles?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Scratchling:

I liked the nilkin on my XS but its protection is very limited.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] chrissshen:
Can someone run a proper Battery life test? Ideally in comparison to the Find 7A. I know everyone says the Find 7 with its QHD screen will suck more battery but I'd just like to know for sure and in solid numbers. I'm torn between 7 and 7a so if there's anyone out there with both devices or if two people could run the same test on a 7 and a 7a respectively I think that'd be awesome and help out many guys like me who are trying to decide between the two phones.

Thanks.

How is the audio quality with headphones? I usually install viper audio mod to get a decent sound on my phones.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] tornado6:
I managed to install the international X9076 color OS rom. How i did it is to flaxsh the chinese color os 1.2 rom then flash the international rom i get from oppo forums. Now it's running quite smooth, but im most disappointed with battery life, on standby for less than 2 hours, it dropped 3%! im not trying to find out why by installing BBS
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MaxiJavi:
Thanks !

How did you flash it ?

I'll be receiving my Find7 shortly so I want to go to something good OS wise.

What are your initial impressions like ?

Cheers

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] JameZUK:
Thats easy, use TWRP: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/oppo-find-7a-x9007-custom-recovery-cwm-and-twrp.11046/ It runs but shrunk down to the 1080p resolution of the 7A.

(I would suggest you use the version of TWRP from here though: https://mega.co.nz/#!gF0GhBzT!HGaWCcQfqr_ns2z7ZEIeeF-0KvXFliEOAFZ_Z-wHcdw )

Then do a standard wipe and install the zip (http://www.androidhosting.org/Gummy/find7/NIGHTLY/). It will also need Gapps as well as SuperSU (If you want to use SuperSU instead of Superuser)

Everything works except the mic when making speakerphone calls or using google now! See here: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/rom-aosp-find7a-team-gummy-rom.15593/

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] mathieudevos:
Any difference between this version and the international one? Just received my X9076, looking what is compatible with each other when it comes to ROMs and Recoveries.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] JameZUK:
AFAIK, this is the only 3rd party ROM that works on the X9076
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] ultramag69:
Apparently the CM11 nightly for the 1st July is OK to use with the Find 7 & the 7A...

Haven't tried yet as I'm still playing with the international version, got the Chinese X9077...
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] codified:
Been waiting for this for so long but the early reviews are disappointing. Battery life seems poor (might be fixed with a firmware update), the screen takes a lot of criticism for being too dim, and the white balance is way off (10k, looks blueish).

Plus that 3GB application data limit is unforgiveable. It was bad enough on the Find 7a, but I thought they would have fixed that decision with the Find 7, especially as it has double the internal storage.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] bisto321:
Battery life is OK for me, I didn't expect days from it considering how many pixels it is lighting up :)

Screen looks good too, really notice how yellow my nexus 5 is sitting next to it, whites and max brightness are looking good to me - but these things are very subjective.

Oppo have put together a solid bit of kit here.

Had my first experience of fast charging it today, why are others not doing this? It is amazing, went downstairs to make a cup of tea and came back to a fully charged phone :D (started from 30% to full in about 20 mins)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] rayQ111:
how is new CM 11 NIGHTLY 1ST JULY UPDATE DOING ?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] themsubtle:
Same for me aswel the battery life has been fine, I got 1d 1hr and 4hrs screen time on my last charge and thats pretty good in my eyes lol :)

I think the screen is personal opinion because mine looks really nice and all the whites look white and blacks look black, the contrast and brightness are great.

The fast charging is amazing and I was so surprised how quick it is and think when other manufacturers figure it out it will be everywhere!

All in all I think oppo have made a great/solid and really nice device with the find 7!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Doomboss:
Yep I just flashed it on my Find 7 :D

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

I think the notification light is still not working?? Haven't test it very well yet as I just flashed it not long ago.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the notification light is working now?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MaxiJavi:
Thanks !!

Had an issue with my USB cable that made the fastboot step a bit of a challenge ...

But after that it was all plain sailing.

Power consumption seems high and the battery reading unreliable, but I am assuming the battery is not calibrated yet.

Other than that Gummy seems nice and stable, other than MIC not working for speakerphone, Google now or camera.

I'd be interested to know what the CM11 experience is like :)

Maybe I will try later
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] JameZUK:
Well thats good news... I'm just waiting for a nice Omnirom build to come out... ;)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] rayQ111:
where can i find news about omni rom release
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] codified:
They don't have to be subjective. Phonearena used a colorimeter to give objective measurements. The screen is simply far too blue.

[IMG="Find 7 white balance"]http://i.imgur.com/tizzfUk.png[/IMG]
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] bisto321:
Why should my eyes and brain not be allowed to tell me what I like? I think it looks clear, nice and white and has plenty of luminace - perhaps my perception of a good white has a bit more blue in it than you? (and their meter)

I disagree with their meter. See, it is subjective :)
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MaxiJavi:
The screen is the same hardware as for the G3 ...

The same panel, made by LG with the same characteristics, that is objective.

The display is calibrated in the system software ... It is a IPS LCD display like any other ...

Depending on your ROM you can adjust it yourself also to a certain extent.

Running gummy the display seems to be a bit cold by default, but I happen to like it like that.

I have not tried calibrating it.

Phone arena are talking about the out-of-the-box setup being lousy, which it is.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Ath3na32:
Running CM11, the phone looks fantastic. I would choose it over any of the other phones in the list even if they were cheaper.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MaxiJavi:
Running Gummy I have to say I am amazed/delighted ...

Incredibly fast and so far ROCK SOLID stable (as long as I don't change the governor).

Once the speakerphone/mic fix makes it into the nightly build tonight it'll be near perfect.

Had a few people lust over it today :)

Are you using ColorOS 1.2.2i or 1.2.3i? If so, please go to this thread on the Oppo form: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/find-7-battery-drain.17440/

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] majordallas:
I had that problem too, but I rooted my Find 7 then added Greenify. I Hibernated practically all of my apps that weren't email, weather, or messaging apps and now the drain is down to about 4% overnight, about 9:30pm to 5:00am. I have the x9076, using Color 1.2.2i
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] chewbyte:
That's odd because I'm using Greenify too. Hibernated everything but CloudMagic email, and the battery drain is still the same. Have you hibernated any system apps? Then again I'm using CM11, not ColorOS.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] majordallas:
No, all but one App was one I downloaded, Kingsoft Office I also greenified but I have never even opened it. When I had my Note 3, I did notice CM did not respond as well as TouchWiz did to being greenified.

I am so happy with this rom. Because a red screen color became natural grey and white after color adjustment.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Han-Droid:
Hi

I'm wondering if the LG has this function what Samsung calls "smartstay"? The front cam scans your eye and checks if you are still looking at the screen. This way the screen will stay on and you don't have to switch it in on again in case you exceeded the screen timeout time, which can be very annoying. I really love this feature on my old S3....

[One (M8) General] bigragu:
When I read that HTC was offering to replace cracked screens on a one-time basis I thought that was pretty cool. But then I read it was only if the screen was cracked within the first 6 months and I thought what were the odds of that happening. Seemed like it was more likely to happen in months 6-24. Well, I got my M8 in April and the other day I dropped it. I was sitting down and reached into my pocket when it rang and it fell out. It was only a short distance and I've had it happen many times before without incident, but for some reason the screen completely shattered. I even had a protector on it to no avail.

Well, I contacted HTC via messenger and had a great experience. It did take awhile as the operator went over the various options, but ultimately I chose the completely free option which will take 8-10 days which I can afford because I am just using my old phone. Just sent it off yesterday so I'll let you know how it goes, but so far, it seems they have lived up to their promise.
[One (M8) General] Wickedd:
That's awesome ! I was wondering how they would handle this and if there weren't any conditions they could deny your phone.

Well i'm not going to try it on purpose ..
[One (M8) General] bigragu:
They just asked for the serial # and then they were able to get all of the other information they needed from that, although they did ask when I bought the phone. I'm not sure why they would ask that considering it had to be less than 6 months that I've had it.

They sent me a pre-paid label and I dropped it off at UPS.
[One (M8) General] Chris_c81:

[One (M8) General] murf43143:
So you didn't root this or anything I hope right?

I just got off the chat with HTC and they said if I root this phone it voids all warranty even screen repair.

So now I have been scrambling to go back to stock everything from S-OFF so I can send this in for repair using the same free option.
[One (M8) General] jfvick:
Unfortunately, they will still be able to tell. My screen shattered and I had an unlocked bootloader with S-off. Went back to stock, re-locked, changed re-locked to locked and removed tampered banner, and sent it in (from what I read turning S-on will trip re-locked and tampered so I didn't do).

Got a quote from them yesterday that they'd only replace my screen for free if I paid $290 for them to replace my motherboard since my bootloader was unlocked (they will look to see if you requested an unlock token from HTC Dev as well as looking on the device itself). After spending an hour on the phone with them yesterday they say they will do it for $145 but a supervisor is supposed to call me back so we can discuss more. They still haven't explained to me why the motherboard needs to be replaced besides "we have to since the bootloader was unlocked."

My approach when dealing with them is that there are two separate warranties for the phone - the screen replacement warranty and a 1 year warranty for the rest of the phone. The screen warranty doesn't mention unlocked bootloader voiding it, only that "unauthorized modifications.." will. Whereas the 1 year warranty mentions "unauthorized modifications..." as well as "the bootloader has been unlocked.." voiding the warranty.

I'll let you guys know where I get with them.
[One (M8) General] mathrania:
But requesting a unlock token from htcdev doesn't necessarily mean that the device is unlocked. This HTC policy is crap.

I got my screen replaced under warranty from HTC for my One X, and they gave me a non gorilla glass, which i realized in a week as it got plenty of scratches easily. But didn't bother to explain the dumb customer care, just sold the device...
[One (M8) General] CHlCKEN:
Wow well be careful next time
[One (M8) General] ashyx:
I smashed the screen on my one and damaged the case and speaker grills. All repaired by HTC for £103 ($175) in just over 2 weeks. Couldn't believe how cheap it was considering the parts themselves cost more than the actual cost of repair.

So a all in all thumbs up for HTC for not charging an extortionate price for repair. I sent mine in unlocked everything, but no complaints from HTC because I wasn't claiming under warranty.
[One (M8) General] otariq:
I was watching xmen yesterday and when it ended I got up and somehow my phone slipped out of my shorts pocket and landed screen down. It made such a loud noise I was so scared to pick it up. Luckily, when I did not a scratch on the screen. I think what might've saved me was I had a clear skin on the two grills (nothing on screen) which might've propped it up a bit by making a lip. There was a small scuff on the metal rim on the left side of the phone. I took a nail filer and smoothed it out. When you shine light on it you can see some scratches from filing. However, when you run your finger down it, it doesn't catch like it did when the scuff was there.
[One (M8) General] mathrania:
So how was the movie :D
[One (M8) General] flayzeraynx:
they charged me $290 because i rooted and unlocked my bootloader on AT&T variant.. they said it is no under warranty anymore

it wasn't converted to GPE, just rooted..

before i sent to them i re-locked bootloader and installed stock version as well. .still they charged me $290 :(
[One (M8) General] Black Antitoon:
I can't believe how horrible this is. It's really not what one would expect by a company such as HTC, especially as they are trying to build a loyal user base and get out of trouble.

As far as I read until now, this doesn't seem to happen in Europe, but this policy proves that they are only behaving well in Europe because of the laws, not because of caring for being fair. :mad:
[One (M8) General] is350:
Wow really? I thought warranty was still valid. In any case, how would a shattered screen be related to software mods? I have an AT&T variant as well with S-Off and unlocked bootloader. Not looking good then.
