Hi all,

I am at a bit of a loss here. I am an avid Nexus user (see sig below) though i want to like the OnePlus 2 though i keep reading horror stories and concerns about throttling, charging and performance issues over time. It's like they made an awesome phone though failed with the software implementation.

I am hoping like a lot of issues on devices that the XDA community has addressed these problems with a nice Custom ROM..

Can people give me some honest feedback regarding their experiences? I have read a lot of reviews though its all using the Factory ROM. I want to know how good the device can be with a good community rom.

Please let me know :) thanks very much.

Buy a 6P or wait for the new nexus, really looking forward to get rid of my OPT.
[OnePlus 2 General] lockmunk:
oneplus2 far much better than 5X
[OnePlus 2 General] Sage:
6P is too big and too expensive. Why don't you like it?
[OnePlus 2 General] Mohit31:
Between 5x and op2

Op2 any day.. Much better than 5x
[OnePlus 2 General] demongokul:
Op2 FTW.
[OnePlus 2 General] adeckpm:
OTP I've had too many small and big problems and bugs, I mean, the phone is usable but doesn't live up to it's specs and hype, software is the worst part of all, and if you are already a nexus user you will find annoying to wait for new versions of Android, also if you're into custom roms you should always stick to nexus.

And de 5X is too expensive for it's built and specs.

I mean personally I would think of other options, the Nexbit Robin seems really nice, or you can wait for the new phones that are coming.
[OnePlus 2 General] s_vohra:
You cannot go wrong with a Nexus - I am a OP 1 and 2 user. Came from Nexus 5(which still works).

OP2 now has everything working Custom ROM's but there are still niggles, which do not hamper you daily use. Community support is almost at par with Nexus. Fingerprint scanner is a bit fickle, I am having mine RMA'ed right now.

On the other hand... 5x is way to expensive for the specs being offered.. You could wait for new lineup this summer.. OP3, Motorola etc..
[OnePlus 2 General] parasthakur37:
Obviously opt unless you want to settle for a less specifications mobile device for a higher price.
[OnePlus 2 General] Kirahvi:
OP2 has better

everything

except OTAs which can be fixed with cyanogenmod. I'd pick up the OP2 or wait for the next nexus line.
[OnePlus 2 General] alirezamatrian1:
Op2 is an awesome phone, just flash the latest hydrogen os build on it and compare it with a 5x... Everything in op2 is better even the camera...
[OnePlus 2 General] fuarkgl3:
Nexus 5X price is a joke. I would buy a N5 for 150$ before N5X lol

I wouldnt buy a phone with 2gb of ram and snapdragon 808 in 2016 anyways
[OnePlus 2 General] Ribery771:
I am also very satisfied with my 2. It just works rocking solid. And it has the best fingerprint Sensor out there, i really love it! So fast and accurate if you set it up correct.

But if i were you, i would wait for the 3. It should be out in july, so its not that long. If you want a phone now, just get the 2
[OnePlus 2 General] Abaddon:
got them both.

op2 has better specs.

5x feels cheaper, cooler, charges faster, has lower memory, lower ram, single sim and has a smaller screen.

both last 4-5hrs sot on my daily usage
[OnePlus 2 General] anees167:
personally i have my OPT on sale and have considered getting the nexus 5X instead (been some price drops here in uk). mainly because the OPT software is horrible, heats up quick, sluggish performance on stock rom, even though custom roms significantly improve the device its still doesnt feel like a flagship, i.e. some lag and small bugs here and there. in comparison my dads redmi note 3 and sisters OPO feel faster and snappier in comparison and in my side by side usage there both are smoother while scrolling.

also another thing ... people go crazy about specs and wanting a phone with the best possible hardware but they are forgetting the main thing the user experience. The oneplus 2 is culprit of this as it has the best specs but software is horrible that you are forced to use a custom rom
[OnePlus 2 General] lexxx84:
5x if the price is cheaper depending on your available sources. OPT very prone to fingerprint sensor failure and the RMA process apparently has been a nightmare to those unlucky enough to need a replacement or even any kind of hardware technical support really.
[OnePlus 2 General] chintu1234:
Go with anything other than OPT i regret now buying opt instead of Moto X variants or Nexus variant.

There is little to no support from the company for updates and they dont even release source code in time.

XDA community is there true but still isnt on par with devices who has their source code released.
[OnePlus 2 General] evertking:
It's been posted but compare the two and see what ya come out with.. On paper the OP2 is the better phone. I'm glad I got mine. I was down to the Nexus 6 or OP2 and I'm glad I did.

I'm sure your gonna root the thing.. So CM and updates will flow... So yeah.. Get the OP2

And despite what you have been told.. Oxygen 3.0 is a damn nice ROM. I was a slim ROM freak and I'm satisfied and very happy with MM update.. Yeah it's beta but it's rock solid.

Hell.. I would get a OPO over the 5X
[OnePlus 2 General] Jackson_X:
Wait for new device.

A lot of users thinks oneplus2 is failed in China, me too.

Wish Oneplus3 will be better.
[OnePlus 2 General] kackburt:
I am still with my OPT just because of the ability to use two SIM cards. That's just way more practical for combining work+private SIM. Atleast I prefer it over having to take two phones with me.

So if it wasn't for that, I would still be using my Nexus 5X, since there's just way better software support.

I hope the OnePlus 3 will change that.
[OnePlus 2 General] jester41:
Agreed go with Nexus either current or wait for next version since Google I/O is right around the corner. One Plush's two is a fine device but seems like support ends with purchase. They dumped what they called a beta to meet their Q1 date promising frequent updates but here we are well into Q2 with no updates or final OTA or word of when that might happen. For me looking as to what the next Nexus will offer the determine when to move from my OPT. Shame this is my second OnePlus and probably never going back.
[OnePlus 2 General] S4turno:
I have both phones.

The OP2 has better hardware and is the best phone, but the Nexus 5x has better software... and that's why I use the 5x as my daily driver.
[OnePlus 2 General] gaz_0001:
Theres a lot of problems with OnePlus. Hardware, Software and Support.

I would encourage you to look elsewhere. From OPO & OPT Owner.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 PM ----------

If your interested, you can make me a fair offer for my OPO or OPT. I would sell either for a normal price.
[OnePlus 2 General] ensay:
I was a huge fan of the OPO, and I couldn't wait to get the OP2. After a while with this phone, I have experienced constant freezing on OOS (as well as huge amount of other users), as well as lack of ROM support. It's a huge downside that there is no official CM support on the phone. I was pretty happy with the CM ROM on OPO when I still had it.
[OnePlus 2 General] benj!:
Still really happy with my OP2, and honestly not had half the problems people moan about. OxygenOS isn't as bad as people say; it's very close to stock and performance in the new beta is a lot better.
[OnePlus 2 General] flopyro:
I regret the day when I have decided myself for a OPT instead of a Lg G4.

HW is really good, but software is so miserable, you cannot imagine !
[OnePlus 2 General] AkiTaki:
Definitely go with the Nexus. As others have said, you'll always get the latest updates first, and you are guaranteed to receive updates for 18 months. Community support is also the best.

On the other hand, with OnePlus, you don't know when or if you'll receive an update. They promised an update to Marshmallow by March, and they release an half baked "beta" and haven't updated it since. When I hear update by March, I expect a stable, final build by March. This clearly shows the low standards that OnePlus has, because no other OEM promises an update by a certain date and releases a "beta".

The OnePlus One got lucky because they are supported by Cyanogen. Who knows what would have happened to it if Cyanogen didn't support it.
[OnePlus 2 General] heinis3:
OnePlus 3

Just wait a month!

OP3 will be announced in June. :good:

And there are OTA's for Oxygen OS, despite what others said. :)
[OnePlus 2 General] gaz_0001:
Don't wait. Ditch the brand. Invite system again, will be long time before you can get OP3.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

I tried to get the VR headset. As usual, plagued with issues. So, version 3 will be the same nonsense as the other ones.
[OnePlus 2 General] Aquaservice:
Someone said opt has better camera than nexus 5x? Sure?

[OnePlus 2 General] raghu0421:
get one plus 3..
[OnePlus 2 General] LogicalJunkie549:
Honestly was thinking about getting the 6P myself, but for me the 'physical' buttons and the alert slider on the left was the dealmaker for me when I bought my OP2 3 months ago.....
[OnePlus 2 General] mistamikel:
I had the 6p. Overall it felt too big, and fragile (bend issues) I'm using the OPT as my daily with the newest MM (3.0.1) and it's been on par with my experience with the 6P.
[OnePlus 2 General] xmanmolar46:
Dull about op2 but happy with custom rooms, missing Android N

Hi, I used nexus 4 and nexus 7 2012, get all recent updates from Google, bought op2 because of it awesome specification, but due to software issue really upset, if you are regular nexus user go for nexus, but wait for better specification nexus
[OnePlus 2 General] mofoahh:
The OP2 battery is horrible. Our promised marshmallow OTA never came, had manually update my rom to Oxygen OS 3. Tempted to go back to my sony xperia z ultra.
[OnePlus 2 General] Djspinister:
There is no invite system this time around, do your research before you give people wrong info.
[OnePlus 2 General] Jfxmedia:
Never had a better faster longer battery phone than OP2. Never had any issues mentioned by anyone else. I bought mine 2 weeks ago on Amazon. I get near 6 hours screen on time. I game Hardcore never overheating or throttling. The phone fantastic. Latest marshmallow OOS 3 Nova on top.
[OnePlus 2 General] pmbaron:
I bought my Oneplus2 like 10 days ago, before I had the OPO and several lumias.. Im on the newest CM13 nightly. While some Things still dont feel as solid as on the OPO, the GREAT design and the pretty good camera make fully up for it. Also, I made great experience with the OnePlus Support, i got the OP2 repaired within a week (bought it as used, had a screen bug). I can definitly encourage you to buy one.
[OnePlus 2 General] saeedashifahmed:
I suggest you to buy Nexus 5x. At least you will get a Bug free experience.
[OnePlus 2 General] rum0s:
I'm also thinking about getting a oneplus 2 coming from a Nexus 5. The reason is, I'd like to have some more battery as it's always a Nexus problem. Pretty important for me is the SAR value. All upcoming smartphones have metal bodys and therefore high SAR values (bigger than 1).

As I read a bit, there is some development going on, but not as strong as on the Nexus. Or do you think it will stop until the one plus 3 will be released.

How is it from the hardware side, do you think it is rock solid?
[OnePlus 2 General] themostunique:
Really solid. Feels un-bendable and no screen distortion even when pressed heavily. Also able to withstand 1m+ drops with only superficial damage. A bit on the heavy side tho.
[OnePlus 2 General] rum0s:
Thanks man. Also are there many RMAs? By the way, OP3 is a few hours away. But I fear the SAR value will be high, so I guess I'll go with OP2. Moreover I like the swappable covers!!
[OnePlus 2 General] crash4fun:
I just got my OnePlus 2 yesterday. I've messed with my friends Nexus 5X before and I can't say there is anything much better about it. I like the design for OnePlus 2 more. For $299 it's a great device.

This thing takes great pictures, with better light adjustment then my old LG G3.

Only complaints I have is this phone charges super slow on USB ports, probably the lack of QuickCharge capability. Also I can't get it to play media through my car's Pioneer head unit (through bluetooth). Not sure why but i'll be researching that shortly.
[OnePlus 2 General] cheeze.keyk:
when it comes to camera (low light)? is 5x better than 1+2?
[OnePlus 2 General] :
I am in a similar conflict. The very limited LTE bands in OPT prevents me from using 4g/LTE when in India. Since I travel between India & US, I need a phone that works well in both regions. Nexus 5x/6p (or iPhone) supports more number of LTE bands than OnePlus devices

I am very tempted to pick up Nexus 5x with Project Fi in US with their current promotion at $199 for 16gb or $249 for 32gb variant

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ynrozturk:
Wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. The other day I noticed that in apps with a white background color, I would have horizontal pink lines on the screen, sometimes vertical, too. It drove me crazy enough that I went to the Samsung service center close to where I live, and the guy flat out just told me that the screen needed to be replaced. I didn't leave the phone with them because I kind of need it, but I will have to eventually.

Weird thing is that there are no dead pixels - all the pixels are fine and went through the pixel test with no issues.

Anyone else experiencing this? Pretty frustrating since I got the phone less than 2 months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] calum1904:
Hey I think I might be having a similar problem, it started to happen yesterday and about a third of my phone is now constantly turning pink. If your problem is like the one below then let me know and I'll keep you informed in what Samsung say when I contact them later today

Just realised I can't post links yet but the images are here imgur(dot)com/a/YBA5o
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] damienisxcore:
Same thing started happening to me a few hours ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
Definitely a hardware fault.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jomari29:
Mine was purple smudges and washed out, sent out they replaced the phone, its a hardware/factory defect.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ynrozturk:
Yeah definitely a hardware problem. I took a screenshot of the pink and sent it to my computer so I could view it there, and the screenshot was absolutely fine and pink free on my computer, so yeah, hardware problem like the people at Samsung said.

Just sucks that I can't get a replacement unit because I am over the 30 day period. That is just bull**** if you ask me. The phone is still brand new and doesn't even have a hairline scratch on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ynrozturk:
Sorry to necro this thread but the same thing happened to me again, after the screen was replaced the first time. Now it's gone in for a second time. I think this is a pretty well known issue with certain S7 Edge productions. Really even scared of the Note 7 now because I believe it's happening because of the edge panel.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gomez.pl:
2nd phone with the same issue, 1st time they replaced the phone for brand new, now the same problem... it happens only on s7 edge duo?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] violin.siva:
Past 31st I bought the S7edge black pearl version. When the Samsung sales executive unboxed and switch on those pink lines were displaying. I was shocked to see those. Immediately they asked me to wait and replaced a new one. I waited for an hour there and browsed my phone completely so that there will no major disappointment.

Just shared this incident on seeing this thread.

i bought a new S7 edge couple weeks back and i am facing one weird and random issue. Sometimes when I click Back button, I get the recent apps. However it is impossible to tell when and why it happens as this is total random. I tried to clear the cache and it didnt happened for entire day but again happened the next day. I am using Nova launcher, not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Please let me know if anyone have faced this issue and if there is any resolution to it.. :)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenisnotchosen:
I have searched as much as I can, but can't find any info on this. It has happened on both mine and my wife's M8, but only after updating to Marshmallow. If the phone dies suddenly without being able to shut down fully most of the time it will lose certain settings, like sounds, data and Wi-Fi turned off, saved Wi-Fi networks gone, etc. If it happens while starting up it has lost whole apps, all contacts; mostly acting like a first boot but some installed apps, settings, call history, text messages, etc did remain. Any ideas?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
It's a glitch with HTC's Marshmallow version. It happens on stock as well as custom ROMs. Nothing to do but wait for an update from them, or always make sure your battery stays charged. It happens to me at 6%
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleys1704:
Same Problem but phone dies at 20%-30%

I am having the same problem, heaps of settings change, including default keyboard, messaging app quick settings wifi etc

if my phone was dying at 5%i could deal with it but it is dying anywhere between 20 and 30% and often catches my unawares.

An update to fix this would be great.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyrich:
Yup, I have the same problem only I don't lose saved wifi networks but I get signed out of every single app. I also get a google play services error which requires me to clear the apps data.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLO:
Snap!

I have been having these problems for the past 4 months (running Lollipop)

I thought that the Wifi passwords issue and app logouts was due to low system memory. (battery would die around 15%)

Since doing a factory reset and 2 weekends ago, the battery dies around 25% and I still experience app log outs etc.

My device is close to the 24month warranty limit and I need a fix urgently.

I also have Bluetooth call random clipping happening both on lollipop and Marshmallow.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenisnotchosen:
A few times now manually shutting the phone down before the battery dies has led to all Google related icons (Chrome, YouTube, Play Music, etc.) being removed from my home screens and having to manually re-add them.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teexda:
In addition to almost everything already said RE: most customization is lost, apps and widgets disappear on restart, etc. I've noticed that all of the (mostly AT&T) apps that I disabled are enabled and updated when the phone comes back on!

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenisnotchosen:
Yesterday mine died at 30%, and upon restarting it went through the "Optimizing Applications 1 of 261" then proceeded to come up with a warning that the phone had an internal error and might be unstable until doing a factory reset. After clearing the warning it was stuck in a "Sense Home has stopped working" loop until I could get into Settings and clear the data for Sense Home. This allowed me to at least make sure things were backed up before doing a factory reset, but more than half of my contacts were missing as well as many text, call history, etc. A similar thing happened with the wife's M8 last week and had to factory reset hers then too.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GLO:
I had this problem and had my battery and main board replaced in the final month before 24 m warranty ran out.

Do a battery test *#*#3424#*#*

Then hit more, and select battery test.

Battery has to be 100% to complete teat which takes an hour. Do this when you don't need it.

My test would often show 91-94% but I had one that said 71% which I saved a screen shot.

Since the battery and main board replacement it's still my favourite phone.
