[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ent3rpryze:
i dont know what qualifies as a nandroid backup. the only backup i created was with the TWRP backup function which i later moved to my laptop, as previously mentioned. and yes, i did that before the problem occured. it was before I had even installed pure nexus.

btw, it happened AGAIN (#3 for those keeping score). i'm going to assume there's a bug in the rom and forego the use of a security pin. also, for the first time, when i went back into twrp to once again delete the locksettings.db file i was prompted to enter a password before i could modify the system. Odd.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elevatorguy:
When making a nandroid (backup) in TWRP remove any pin, patter or fingerprints before backup or getting locked out will continue.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ent3rpryze:
thanks for that, but i believe i did that because i backuped a clean factory 6.0.1, sans any security setup. not sure if that was necessary but that's what i did.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
The problem isn't with the ROM, I (along with what I'm guessing is pretty much every other user) use fingerprint and/or PIN/pattern security on Pure Nexus with no issues. A nandroid backup is one of those backups you create with TWRP, so yes it's what you described. But this problem shouldn't be occurring on a clean flash of Pure Nexus, can you please explain in detailed steps how you installed the ROM?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
On Marshmallow, the scramble pin option is bugged if you use a long pin. Some rom devs choose to leave this out entirely. I haven't played with it to determine the cut off point but 4 digits is fine. I think I tried 8 digits once and it locked me out.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maverick_titan:
Awesome.. Thanks a bunch for posting this... I am using Oneplus 3T , Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 ( Marshmallow) . Had turned on Scrambled PIN.. Ran into same issue as yours.. Last option left for me was to do factory reset from TWRP but I was scared to lose Google Authenticator Setup on my phone and many other things... Your solution saved me!! :good::good::o
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AronFiechter:
I also had a similar problem:

- freshly installed Carbon ROM with TWRP

- added lockscreen password in phone

- locked screen

- tried accessing using password

The password just fails. Using a shorter password works normally. The failing password is 13 characters long.
[XDA Assist] :
Hi all,

I have a Z2 Pro with Android 5.0.2, the first version (S226). I read that there are newest version, like S271, how can I istall them?

There is any good reason to install CM 13 based on Android M? Is it much better than Android L?

After weathering the storm of chaos as huge crowds rushed to get the One, hearing countless horror stories of failing phones and terrible support, and waiting for (hopefully) all hardware problems to rear their ugly faces, I'm at a loss now--in March 2016--as to whether or not buying a used phone, said to work perfectly by the seller and has been tested enough by natural selection, would be a good idea if I can only return DOAs.

I'm calling on everyone here not to post just epic sob-stories; instead, if you had an issue (hardware, software, firmware, or other) please post what it was, when it showed up (how much use, any possible user error that may have caused it), whether it was fixed (and if it was, what it was fixed by), how long it lasted, what ROM/software version you were on, and any other important info.

Thanks so much in advance; I really like the specs and the original reviews, but just can't be sure if it got back up after falling flat right out of the gate.
[ONE General] tbrookins1:
I got a oneplus one. I love it!. Soon as I got i t I rooted and flashed CM13. NO ISSUES WITH IT AT ALL.
[ONE General] Setting.Out:
Nearly 2 years and no regrets..
[ONE General] tiagosequeira27:
I only got this phone at the end of 2015 and I haven't regretted a bit, ever. It's an amazing phone, I never had any problem with it. The metal around the screen is the only thing that wears out, it's not awful but it as some scratches, and I'm very careful. Believe me, for the price, this is still the best budget phone you can get
[ONE General] dreamwave:
I have the ability to get it for as low as $180 here in the US. I know that is quite a good deal compared to the original price, but with the OPX having been released with similar specs and such I'm not quite sure I fully grasp whether or not this price is a steal, or just a good bargain. Thoughts?
[ONE General] billybobchongo:
Absolutely hate it. I regret trading my Nexus 6 for it. My data has been spotty and I keep getting random reboots. Today, I was using the GPS and Google Maps lost the ability to connect to my phone's mobile data during the commute. Completely overshot my destination, thanks OnePlus!
[ONE General] dreamwave:
When it comes to data, I'm not too worried as I use tracfone (so I'm not really used to the convenience of data on the go) and have great coverage around here--unless it is so significantly worse than the Nexus 6 so as to cause a steady 3-4 bars on one to equal intermittent service on the other.

For the random reboots, when did they start? What ROM? When do they happen?
[ONE General] JimJ2Mz:
On paper, the OnePlus One and OnePlus X may seem similar, but it's only so much.

The OPO features (as compared to the OPX)

> a higher-tier variant of the Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC) @ 2.5ghz

> a larger 5.5in LTPS (IPS LCD) display (screen size is subjective, some people prefer smaller)

> better band support for US Carriers (the OPX lacks necessary bands)

> a better rear-facing camera (capable of 4K DCI/UHD recording) and can be vastly improved with Sultan's modifications

> WIFI AC + Dual band (2.4/5.0ghz)

> a larger 3100mah battery

> NFC (the OPX doesn't have NFC, seriously)

But most importantly, the OPO is sustained by one of the largest dev communities ever, right here at XDA. Even after OnePlus/Cyanogen discontinues official support for the device, the community will keep it alive and strong for a VERY long time. The OPX lacks this kind of love and support. Unsurprisingly, OnePlus themselves seem to be neglecting the OPX.

The OPX features (as compared to the OPO)

> a more portable 5in AMOLED display

> a better front-facing camera

I might sound biased, but that is justified by everything I've just listed. It's clear who's the winner here.

[ONE General] dreamwave:
Thanks for the insight. I kind of wonder why it's so cheap when it's so competitive with other phones of the time. The Galaxy s5 seems to go, used, for between $250-300 while the OPO goes for between 200-225 normally. I get that last generation phones can go down in price, but it seemed unexpected that it didn't even out to pretty much the same used price as most of those other phones. I was just thinking there must be something I was missing.
[ONE General] JimJ2Mz:
This is expected. The Galaxy S5 is a Samsung device and as with all popular brands, these devices can go for a high price, from when they're released to even a few years later.

The OnePlus One was OnePlus' very first device and it was named "The Flagship Killer" for a reason- that reason being it had the same specs as popular flagship devices (ie. Galaxy S5, Xperia Z3, HTC One M8) but costed much less than they did. This is why the OPO, new or used, continues to be sold for lower than any other popular flagship device.

As a note, OnePlus claims that they barely made any profit at the time due to selling the OPO for such a low price, but they actually had a lot of backup from their overseeing company, OPPO.

Trust me (and everyone here), the OPO is still an amazing device. Everything about it screams high quality.
[ONE General] billybobchongo:
Running Sultan's CM13 - had similar issues with CM12. Switched to CM13 because Sultan was actively developing it. Tried other roms but I didn't like them as much as Sultan's rom. Charging is also atrocious - 2 hours to go from 10% to 100% with the stock cable and charger.

The funny thing is, I had full bars and data, GMaps just couldn't connect until I restarted the phone.

I had three reboots in the past hour. One with the phone laying on my desk. Another while scrolling through GroupMe. The final after I took a screenshot of my lockscreen. I don't use xposed or any other customization app.
[ONE General] kryshnakishore:
Best phone ever released till date, we can edit ANDROID to the core.. I am using since aug 2014, only thing i regret is camera compared to todays phones but even it lives it up to the mark
[ONE General] vickeye:
well!! it is reliable enough ...:)
[ONE General] deltatux:
I've had this device since November 2014 and going strong. This device is one of the best purchases I've ever made in terms of a device. Unless I cause damage to it or there are new band support that's needed in the near future, I might actually try to keep this device until end of 2017.

I've really have had no issues with this phone, probably my only real gripe is the lack of OIS support.

You really can't go wrong with the OnePlus One.
[ONE General] noobtoob:
Being a phone junkie, I jumped at the chance for a flagship killer, and do not regret it. Looking at all the phones we have today, this one still stacks up great, and outperforms my buddies lg v10 (which was what I was going to get, but couldn't justify the price) in a lot of areas (mostly stupid golf games), though all his hardware is top notch.

This device is affordable, and still runs as smooth as day one. Dev community awesome. I had the slight yellow tinge when it first came out, but it's gone. I had another friend of mine buy the op2 just cause he liked my phone so much but wanted the dual Sim...
[ONE General] MiguelSassoon:
I'm looking to jump back in with a OPO after a year, has the touch screen issue been addressed? I had the issue on two OPO's. Very great device otherwise!
[ONE General] dreamwave:
That was one of the things I was wondering: there were a lot of people having problems with the touchscreen, they apparently had a firmware fix but I still saw some reports of problems afterwards. Haven't seen any recently, but no real discussion about what was the issue, whether there were some people with hardware problems AND some people with firmware problems or if there were just firmware problems. I think I might have seen something on their forums but I honestly don't trust that place with the reports of censorship and all the fanboys dismissing problems.

EDIT: Just found this thread that describes what causes the issue. Definitely an involved process, but at least it suggests a problem other than just faulty-digitizer roulette. I hate the lengths that Oneplus goes to to try and hide this kind of thing. They could gain a lot more support if they were just transparent about their fumbles and mistakes instead of trying to sweep stuff under the rug and waiting for it to create a scandal.
[ONE General] MiguelSassoon:
Yeah, I remember reading about that .. Hoping they fixed the issue as I'm contemplating purchasing one new from OnePlus.
[ONE General] billybobchongo:
Just wanted to follow-up on my post from yesterday, OP.

I'm now on rooted stock COS12.1 - latest update, as of yesterday night. Only rooted apps I use are AdAway and TiBu (might not justify root tbh haha). But it's still not that great. The phone was definitely much smoother with Sultan's rom, with occasional hiccups. Just tried to do a raid in COC and the phone went unresponsive until I locked the screen but I had to resort to rebooting to make it actually work. It actually froze on the "rebooting" screen and I had to hard reboot.

For reference, I've had the phone since September 2015 and have been holding out for this year's Nexus but I might have to bite the bullet and pick up the 6P. My phone timeline is as follows: LG MyTouch, HTC Sensation 4G, Moto G 1st Gen, Nexus 6 and OnePlus One. Favorites have been Moto G and Nexus 6.
[ONE General] ari2asem:
buy opo, leave opx....look around here on developments for both devices and u know why i say opo
[ONE General] Renosh:
Do not use titanium backup to restore data from CM13 to CM12.1 (COS12.1.1) or vice versa. I'm not sure what's going on but I've had my phone factory reset and apps crash completely and even wiping data didn't help, only uninstall and reinstall from playstore works.

Best phone I've had to date at OP its gets smoother each update, Marshmallow is fantastic and Omnirom, Sultan CM13 and CM Nightlies have been my go to ROMs. I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants a solid phone that has an active dev community and great performance and battery life.
[ONE General] billybobchongo:
Oh really? I'll restore my phone and see what happens, thanks!
[ONE General] reefmonger:
I live in a semi rural area and my OPO won't hold a signal while my old S3 and Zenphone 2 work flawlessly
[ONE General] jeckt:
I own mine since october 2014, since then bought one for my father and one for my son in law. My father had the ghost touches problem but it was fixed by Oneplus, that aside, they are all flawless!

I live in Portugal, dont have any signal issues. I am running the stock ROM with root. The last update was preaty bad so I am running COS12.1 S3JL and I dont have a single problem to report. Best phone I ever had, and I dont feel the need to upgrade any time soon.
[ONE General] Locklear308:
The only phone worth getting right now, as long as you GET A GOOD ONE. Sometimes you get a bad touchscreen, and you're just doomed. Or the vibrate is kind of broken, But man when you get a good one, it's dope. When I got my first one, at my previous job, over a 17 to 20 hour runtime I ALWAYS got at least 7 hours of SOT if not 8. I'm talking about 5 hours of wifi youtube at 1080. everyday. (It was a sweet job) Talking for an hour on the phone used 1% of battery. Leaving it alone, it just did not ever loose power. It got worse after they left KK though... If you want to see an android phone with extreme god-like battery life. Flash 25r on the OPO. It becomes nearly un-kill-able. Seriously some man battery life. Like you've never seen before. That's the only phone that has ever lasted me a full 24 hours, that's how much I use my devices.

Also... get jgcaap's CM13 rom. It's mandatory, get it and your OPO will fly like never before. I'm not f'ing around, it's extremely fast. It's faster than my friends N6p, in benchmarks and general use. Everything opens and loads in under half a second if not instantly. It's just insane how fast the 801 can go. Makes the 805/808/810 look like poop. I had no idea the OPO was so powerful.

It's the best phone, IF you get a good one and IF 64GB is enough for you.
[ONE General] advanttage:
My OnePlus One is solid. Legitimately the toughest Android phone I've ever had, and I've had it since Nov 2014. I've taken this phone across the world from Canada to Ireland, Mexico, many places.

I've dropped my phone many times and I assure you the screen is not invincible, however a replacement screen runs about 40 bucks Canadian and takes ten minutes to install.

Abuse my phone has suffered:

- forgot it in the freezer overnight

- many times I've forgotten about maxed out cpu/GPU and put it in my pocket for hours.

- broke two screens

- spilled juice, water, beer and wine over it accidentally.

- bricked a couple of times (undeniably my fault)

All in all this phone has been loyal, displayed tremendous resilience.

I can't comment on support as I've only interacted with them once as to inquire about a replacement screen,but they at that moment were very helpful.

I love this phone, and I'm even reluctant to get the OnePlus two because I have a hard time imagining a phone that would replace my beloved bacon.

[ONE General] Seveilith:
I'm currently using a OnePlus Two as my daily driver, but last month I bought a OnePlus One and I have to admit that I prefer it over the OPT in a lot of ways (e.g. thinner, weigh less, smoother sandstone texture, more preferable camera position).
[ONE General] GTyros:
Best phone ever as long as you stay away from COS or Oxygen. I'm running CM snapshots since a very long time and since a couple of months switched to SultanXDA. His ROM's & Kernel are awesome.
[ONE General] dreamwave:
Thanks everyone for the info and advice. I just bought a good condition device (used, so probably all problems have shown up that will :knocks on wood:) off of Swappa for $175 USD. I look forward to receiving it and will post here when I receive it, maybe even adding my own data point for people who read this in the future :)
[ONE General] Locklear308:
If you get one with a worn battery, I have a link to what seems to be a legit OEM replacement. I am waiting for it to come in the mail.

Let us know how it goes when you get it though!
[ONE General] Vollspacken:
Got the 1+1 since September '15 and no regrets so far. Happy with everything: reliability, software support, battery, smoothness, just everything. Actually that's my first phone which i will stay with until it breaks (hopefully never)
[ONE General] Knut33:
Got it february last year and it is working without any problems.
[ONE General] lontu:
If you believe me, as the way Oneplus came into the market 2 years ago with OPO, the same way it will vanish within next few years. They gave their entire effort for OPO and nothing new came afterwards. It seems they are out of plan now-a-days and their devices are not flagship killers anymore. The ROM updates from CM also slows down for OPO and people are not happy with it. OPO was best a year ago and you can only invest on it if you are happy with 2nd-3rd line of phones available in the market. As the phones with 3 GB ram with 64GB internal with fingerprint sensors and other recent features are available in market at the half a price of OPO or OPT.

This is completely my opinion and the choice is yours.

Note : The phone is still alive because of the XDA Dev Community.
[ONE General] bronyDrake:
I purchased OPO on the same day it released in India... Great satisfactory product for me in all areas like price,camera, battery,software,dev support. I suggested my 2 friends to buy OPX thinking that it will also be as good as OPO... Now I'm feeling that it was a bad suggestion... OPX is lagging like Touchwiz..I really hate it bcoz of that (Lagging is not acceptable on a 2 Ghz Quad core Snapdragon 801 processor)

Note :- My OPO suffered touch screen issues and replaced through Oneplus service center. They have taken 40+ days to fix it. That was a very bad experience I faced but they compensate me by adding 3 months warranty and for all customers who had to keep there phone in service centre for more than 15 days. I really love my phone from the day I got it repaired.
[ONE General] Neroga:
Got my 1+1 about a year ago. Bought it used, too lol. Still rockin' it and loving everything it has to offer. Awesome devs and a great community. Every issue I had was user error and trust me, there were a lot of them. Major flashaholic, but I haven't found anything I couldn't fix. Great battery life, excellent performance, etc. Definitely lived up to the hype! Go for it! I'll be sticking with my 1+1 until I decide to jump back to Windows. :p
[ONE General] dreamwave:
How long after getting it did you have that problem?
[ONE General] bronyDrake:
The issue started showing within 2, 3 months of usage.. In the next 2, 3 months I tried various fix that was available. At last after the release of COS 12 I confirmed that it is not a software issue. Once I got it repaired I started enjoying the phone very much.. So if you're planning to buy used or refurbished check the phone very well. If there is no manufacturing defects then the device is really durable because I use my device much roughly and there is no other problems till date... This is my own experience only....Okay :cowboy:
[ONE General] Chaprnks:
I originally bought the OnePlus One; then made the biggest mistake in buying the OnePlus Two. All of the CM-based ROMs for the OnePlus Two were buggy & had horrible battery life (even after following countless battery saving tutorials). Luckily I still had my OnePlus One; and recently switched back to it. Although in raw specs; the OnePlus Two is better. The community support, and farther advanced development of the OnePlus One; is what I missed dearly. Since then, I haven't looked back even once. I am very happy with my "old reliable" OnePlus One :)
[ONE General] cloudx720:
Hands down the best phone i have ever used. I will keep using it until it breaks (hopefully never) if so i will use forever ?
[ONE General] FanDroid09:
EDIT: der... OP already bought the phone my comment was irrelevant haha.
[ONE General] dreamwave:
It's fine if you still have a comment as it could be of use to future prospective buyers
[ONE General] sm753:
I've had my OPO since January 2015. Sadly, this is probably the longest I've used a single device. I even used it for a few months before I finally couldn't stand it anymore and unlocked and rooted it, another record since I generally do it immediately on other devices.

I haven't really had any issues with it so far. Recently, I had issues with the front facing camera not being detected, I was prepared to open up the phone to check the connections when I ran across a thread that say to try pressing down (hard) on the front camera in case the connection was loose. Sure even that worked, probably came loose when I dropped the phone (on carpet) a few times. Since then no real issues.

Running BrokenOS, the devs have long since abandoned XDA for G+ unfortunately, haven't really kept up with the drama.

I have no plans to replace this device until it craps out on me, which hopefully isn't soon. Overall, I've been really satisfied with this phone and the company. Unfortunately, I probably won't be buying another OP phone unless Google Fi starts supporting more devices. When this phone craps out I'll be dropping AT&T and their ridiculous prices and limited services for Google Fi, which currently only supports Nexus devices.
[ONE General] dreamwave:
Just got it in the mail today. Let me just say a few things: I absolutely love this thing so far and it has exceeded all my expectations. Performance is absolutely amazing (though I don't have it loaded with apps so I need a bit to test that.) I was thinking the back would feel like actual sandpaper, but it actually feels like fabric more than sandpaper. Having used sandpaper for extended periods during a renovation of my house this is really nice as actual sandpaper does not feel "nice" at all--the OPO feels nice, as in soft like velvet, duck cloth, and construction paper all woven into the same material. There is not much of an oleophobic/easy-swipe coating on the screen though, so it can grab your finger and its prints pretty easily, but it isn't to the point of being distracting. The display under the glass, though, is absolutely awesome. I've had the Nexus 5 and Moto X as my two prior phones, and it almost takes the best parts of each. It has almost zero backlight bleed at the lowest brightness, so indoors the nav-bar completely blends in with the bezel (which never happened on my Nexus 5--and was actually a reason I used my Moto X more, though definitely not the only reason.) Color is great, and it is not too warm or too cool. The camera on this is superb. It has great color reproduction, and even without OIS it captures low light shots quite well. So far I'm very satisfied with it and will update this after a few battery cycles with more info.
