Nexus 6 is supposed to have a 5.5 inch screen so I assume the battery will be bigger. They just need to get on the ball and announce it already.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
I'd assume they're waiting for the inevitable disappointing Apple press conference so the can capitalise on their failings.

Hopefully they follow something similar to the OPO where storage is concerned though. They hate micro SD slots, and 8gb/16gb options are just too little, especially since the introduction of 4G has killed off a lot of unlimited data contracts.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selayan:
Apple fans have been ridiculously waiting and camping outside for a week already for the iPhone 6.

I don't see anything new except the processor in the iPhone, new wifi card, and custom keyboard lol. They are going to have a 4.7 inch iPhone 6 and a 5.5 version too. If anyone knows, the 6s will probably offer more improvements.

I think the rumors for nexus 6 are 16gb or 24gb standard and also probably 32gb as the alternative. I don't think 8 will be a choice now.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istrikerx:
Ahhh Apple fans. They never cease to amaze.

They can improve the hardware all they want, but iOS is still prehistoric. iOS8 is basically just a bug fixing patch for the mess that iOS7 caused too.

It's the same as the transition from macbooks to macbook retinas. A year full of growing pains for early adopters (paid beta test), for them to release a much better product with a much more stable software package.

OnePlus One Screen quality control concerns

So here we have a picture of two OnePlus Ones running 11.0-XNPH25R. I'm not sure if this illustrates how close the quality control is, but my phone and my friend's phone have completely different screens in terms of yellowing ... Both are running CM11S and not ColorOS. And no, there was no modification via Photoshop software as these were raw images taken from my Galaxy S3.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkaria1970:
I received the OPO a week back and it has the yellow band at the bottom, so is it OK to live with this thing as many says it gradually fades away or return the phone under the 14 days period. The problem is I have imported this OPO to India from US and returning and getting a new OPO is going to be an expensive saga, hence living with the yellow band which fades away gradually is a wise option. What you says guys?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beany>:
Only you can decide how bad it is. Back on the OnePlus forums there are all sorts of comments as to whether it gets better or worse. There is also a thread over there that claims to be able to "fix" it via settings - really changing the screen hue to make it less noticable, but it might be worth a try. Otherwise live with it a few days and see nearer the 14 days if you can stand it or not.

Other devices can exhibit a similar thing. My Nexus 7 looks the same as my OPO for example. Neither are at all bad, but at the bottom of the device the light is 'different' to the rest of the display.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SenK9:
So after close to a month with the OPO, I noticed a bit of a yellowish tinge at the bottom of the screen. I never noticed this before since I haven't done fullscreen browsing with a white background. On reading some more, appears some others also have it.

I originally bought the phone from DWI (via eBay), so I contacted them and they provided an RMA number and a Sydney address to send it back to. I factory reset and wiped the device and I'm sending it back today. Fingers crossed it doesn't become a drawn out affair.

I know about that app, but it's not a matter of time or cost, rather the principle of the issue - its a fault in the manufacturing process.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DerRomtester:
The support wrote that to me :

Because of strict quality control standards, variation between different batches is very limited. All OnePlus Ones have a slight yellow band at the bottom, but this is only visible in extreme circumstances and does not affect daily use. Our screens are lit from the bottom instead of from underneath, and to minimize bezels we place the light sources very close to the edge of the screen. To prevent excessive light leakage, the bottom edge is designed to be slightly opaque, which is why it appears yellow from certain angles.

Hope this information helps.

Best Regards

Jenna

Mine has had it since I got it, its extremely annoying and you notice it more and more when using the phone. I submitted pics of the problem and was told that my device is not up for warranty because this problem isn't a problem. It's considered "normal" which to my knowledge after swapping phones multiple times a year has never been normal on any phone I've ever had. I'm furious at the fact that I had to jump through hoops to get this thing and its defective and the customer service refuses to do anything about it. I've kept the brightness up and let videos run, none of which has helped alleviate any of the yellow tint. My main gripe is having no response from the company other than automated robotic sounding emails that basically tell me to screw off and live with this.

It arrived today, Build Date was actually 09.17.14, and there is no yellow band. I handled one locally last week and it too did not have yellow band.

I can see its vaguely opaque at the bottom but its more a very light gray or silver if super bright on a pure white background. Its not distracting and I get what Opo said about its design, I agree and that screen emits light down there, many phones do.

But yellow is yellow and I've owned a few of those for a few days at a time. Those cases should be instant rma's, or OnePlus Two may not go over well.

say no mine does not have yellow. If there is any touch of yellow its absolutely the tiniest amount and doesn't count at all. I'm the type that would definitely see it every time I looked at the phone if it was yellow.

Mine is dated the 20/9/14 and it has the yellow stain on the bottom of the screen. I think the glue theory is over stated, I tried UV and had no joy so I decided to test the screen for light bleeds. I turned the brightness to 100% chose a black picture and expanded it to fill the whole screen I then went into a dark room. I noticed that there is a light bleed between the capacitive back button and home button, its is about 2mm wide. I imagine this to be like a lamp shade, shining yellow light onto the surface of the screen not below it.

I wish I had a good screen like some lucky people, it's been driving me nuts and I'm rapidly approaching the 14th day. I will probably end up keeping it though because I really love the phone. I've even considered taking it apart to see if there's an obvious cause of the bleed, I may even order a new screen.

I received my One about a week ago and it has the yellow band. However, you can easily hide it so that it becomes a non-issue.

Step 1) Install a custom kernel that allows for RGB color tweaking and set your adjustments to the following...

Red: 247

Green: 249

Blue: 255

... Remember to save this color profile as you will need to reapply it whenever you reboot.

Step 2) Enable the on screen nav bar.

On it's own, Step 1 does a great job of hiding 90% of the yellow band while keeping accurate screen coloring in tact. However, when pairing step 1 and step 2 together, the yellow band is 100% gone for me. I was hoping to use the hardware nav buttons but I'd much rather use the on screen nav bar buttons than see that yellow tint every time I use my phone.

I'm hoping that with a few more weeks of usage the glue under the display will fully cure/dry, eliminating the yellow tint completely.
