[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Urbanrootz:
Yes it probably is, I should have done that - will keep that in mind for next time. Whats your thoughts on the phone thus far?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] robertogl:
Four problems:

1) Well, the buttons that came out.

2) Jelly screen (not a real problem for me, but it's there).

3) Notification led: invisible.

4) Slippery, you need a case to use the phone. I've never use a case on my previous phones but this thing slips.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Urbanrootz:
Awesome...Yeah, it is a slippery device, that much I know, the jelly screen effect, I didn't have mine long enough to see that, but it won't be an issue for me either....Led invisible? Uh! Maybe the DEVS will fix that before OP does with a kernel tweak or something.. :cool:

Cheers!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] robertogl:
I think the led is a common problem with all phones today, except the Galaxy phones. A lot of them have a non RGB led (like G6), and if it is RGB it is like 10 times smaller than the Galaxy leds. So it's a problem that i can't fix, every phone has that.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
I gotta tell you, I've used every flagship available right now, and this device is the best. No Android device is ever perfect, unfortunately, but they can get close. The pixel xl battery life sucks, G6 is a lag box, s8 still has that horrible TouchWiz. The only alternatives are the mate 9 and the mi mix in my book, but they have their issues too.

Ambient display, hardware buttons (so you actually get the full 5.5"), hardware DND switch, the best Android antutu score out there, and 5 hours sot consistently. Pretty solid phone.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] robertogl:
I know, that's why I'm gonna buy the op5 again.

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Urbanrootz:
I have the OP3 and the LED seems pretty visible for me, but I'm also running a tweaked Beta OOS version, possibly has nothing to do with it, but it seems bright.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] robertogl:
It's smaller on OP5.

Ughrrrr :( not good!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] carlese:
How the hell is it possible.. Just turned the phone on because it was really hot, didn't do anything and I keep losing battery and the phone gets warm.. BBS doesn't show me any app running that could cause this, shall I rma it?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Urbanrootz:
Cheers! I could probably agree with you, if I had the device...:cool:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
I returned both of mine. Will probably buy again once they switch displays to fix jello effect. I'd guess within a couple of months that will happen.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Urbanrootz:
:eek: It might not be an app, but a service or services causing the drain. You could always Factory reset it first see if that helps,

but you will lose your data if you do that, unless you have it backed u

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
My 8GB/128GB Midnight Black went back on the 10th day of use.

I asked for a full refund and not a replacement.

It never made a successful connection to my home Wi-Fi and had a little jelly effect.

Waited for 4.5.2 update and nothing changed.

559€ for this?

I 'm very sad because atm there is no alternative to OP5 but I couldn't keep it because it was not upon my expectations.

Sorry OP but no thanks!

I know the screen problem will not be corrected and this almost kills my will to buy again from OP.

OP should make OP5 v2 asap. Not doing so I think OP will lose allot of the hype gained to date.

---------- Post added at 23:51 ---------- Previous post was at 23:45 ----------

Yep ... it will be called 5T LOL :good:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] BoboBrazil:
I'll buy it when it comes out. Hopefully 1440P too.:D
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] arakito:
I am thinking about changing it for an LG G6. What would you do guys?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
Snapdragon 821 +LCD + back finger scanner ... :confused:

For me it's not worth it. But I'm in the same boat as you .... Where to go to ?!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] arakito:
Don't know man. Waterproof, 2K screen. I a loving the performance of the phone, it runs smooth like **** and it's the best battery lie phone I have ever had, but this stuff. The quality of the camera is not as good as expected(rear one, the front one is AMAZING). No water resistance... and LG is cheaper. I like the stock Android delivered by OP. I do not know what to do!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Urbanrootz:
:laugh: I think the G6 is s great device, but that 821, 4GB only 32 internal storage, no special DAC like the Korean version, no sure man - Great 2k screen, I think AMOLED looks better, but that's just me, ahhhhhh. I don't care about the water proofing, I don't swim with my phone, plus most newer phones have some basis water proofing. The OP5 is a better value even with all the complaints. The love hate relationship continues :cyclops:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] NisseGurra:
I sent my op5 back due to the horrible jelly scrolling flaw. Got $$ back in few days form oneplus, they even covered the return freight costs. Well done oneplus!
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
x2

My was refunded yesterday.

Support was top notch but I'll only buy again if they correct the screen orientation!

5T maybe.... but not on launch day! I've learned my lesson well :cool:

Also curious about the resale value of the OP5 in a few months when 5T arrives with the screen fixed :D

I'm already imagining the people that now say "nothing is wrong with the screen" becoming pissed off LOL
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cheesechocolate:
I returned two OP5s. One after opening the box and one unopened.

I was thinking of buying used one from Swappa or eBay but given the possible defects I could land up with, I don't wanna risk it.

IMHO, this device will probably lose a lot of resale value too soon.

I would probably wait for their next device.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] flexte:
How did you get them to pay for the return shipping?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
In Europe we don't pay the return shipping.

UPS came and picked up my OP5 for free.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] robertogl:
Me too, all free in Europe.

So, I've been refund now. The question is: which phone now ?

Should we wait for official announcement (lol), 5T ?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
That's the 1 million dollar question this days :D
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] casual_kikoo:
Personally, I'm waiting until August, 10th (trip in Korea after), and I would be very happy if OnePlus make an official announcement about this ****ty problem.. But I doubt :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
It will never happen! :cool:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] n0013z:
I love this phone, granted, coming from the 1+3 it's not really a big difference but still. The camera is a bit disappointing but I'm hoping it gets better with future updates
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] DrIreland:
Has anyone had experience of getting a replacement OP5 after returning one? Is the jelly effect the same on every phone or has anyone received a replacement with less of a jelly effect than their first device?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zabihjan:
I am loving my one plus 5, I am not returning it.

yes the camera was over hyped and it does not have dual apps although it has two sim slots.

people complaining about camera, go back to your fake looking photos on galaxy or pixel phones or buy a dslr.

speed is amazing, display could have been improved.

looks is sexy and fits in one hand beautifully
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] carlese:
Guys I'm returning my OP5 due to battery not lasting more than 4 hours with light usage.. I have unlocked bootloader and twrp, plus I debated stock rom and flashed supersu, what should I do to bring back the phone like new?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alukarulz:
Install official rom, and lock bootloader. Doesn't really matter.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] carlese:
You mean the flashable zip? Then I need to flash stock recovery as well, right?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
Anyone considering the LG G6 as it's price is lower than the OP5?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cheesechocolate:
I am. Actually I'm quite close to buying one.

I'm also looking at the Moto G5 Plus 64GB.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alukarulz:
Just flash this file. It will restore everything including recovery. Then boot into fastboot and type ""fastboot oem lock"

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] slg60:
Was exactly on the same way and bought the G6 for 390 Euro here in Germany.... One day with it and I have to say... Sorry but the G6 looses in nearly every contest to the op5.... Display is little better, IP67..... Okay, but the front camera is a joke and rear camera is also worse in my eyes.... Hard to find the fingerprint sensor on the back.... built quality definely not bad but it feels less premium then the op5.... I reordered a op5 again... hopefully this time without quality issues...
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] altvolt74:
i owned an s8 but was unable to root send back .... order an op5 send back big troll in my case i through i had an defective unit upon read various forum!!! i found....... the worst phone of 2017 high price for marketing and pay off reviwers for transparency and high discounts for those who review it + conspiracy whit dxo mark + cheats on benchmark , bunch of hardware issues( jelly screen effect, weak antenas , wifi,no lte mobil try everything , losses currency where battery drain no one knows were dispatch ,chock buzz when i plug the charge worse camera ever.. only work on daylight still water paint when there are tree's, at nigh alot i mean alot of noise, 2x zoom even more water paint effect , portrait miss aligned and to much blur effect ,4k record like earthquake, 1080p record has some sort of dust mist effect ,audio inverted ...wtf..... almost 4 flagships whiting one year (if 5t is released whiting 3 month this is going to be the biggest troll on all fansboy )

now ....did this phone pass through safety inspection??? i really doubt it (save more money for marketing) in fact i saw an video where the one plus has missing screws inside the mb

[MENTION=2382147]slg60[/MENTION]

i own now g6 unloked bootloader for $380 on prime day way better cameras the op5 debloted and few tweaks im happy with the performance but the phone won't last on me long (lag of support) may gift to my niece till this new lg pixel comes out or s8 mini whit snapdragon 840 and risk $800 if the Chinese unlockable bootloader comes whit snapdragon variant
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] slg60:
Sorry, but to tell that the camera on G6 is better than on OP5 is definetly not correct..... Rear cam I would say it's a tie, but front cam, c'mon that is not comparable to the one into the op5......

:good:Cheers! I just receive a replacement today, didn't notice any jelly effect on my first OP5, but then again, I didn't know about the issue until after I sent it back for a busted volume rocker button - The new one I receive has zero jelly effect. I also notice the build date on my replacement was 2017.6.29 compared to the first one 2017.6.07 So who knows. So far everything looks good on this new replacement.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] DoobyDroid:
Had 3 devices now not one had screen issues other issues yes prob only software but I was in my 14 days so kept taking back for new one just in case as got from o2 , considering selling and getting the Honor 9 looks so nice , op5 I'm board of the look already feels so last year
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] alukarulz:
What about buying the Nubia z17
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] DoobyDroid:
Good god no looks worse ? + can't just walk into store and buy like honor 9 and you get free sports Bluetooth headphones from three store atm all for £390
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Webern:
Dxomark would disagree strongly with that; the scores were practically the same (the op5 scoring 3 more points).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Ackalo:
not really , i got mine duos g950fd for 600$ brand new with warranty sealed.

Wanted to buy op5 128gb with 8gb ram , now i`m not sure is it worth buying it at all :confused:
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
Show me the site. Cause in my country thats not even close to the price lol

If you want laggy touchwiz. Locked source codes. Only touchwiz based Roms but a good camera go for the s8. I like stock experience with not to many bloatware and want a snappy device. So yeah im happy with the op5. But if You are happy with Sammy then dont switch :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] paulyz:
yes, s6/s7 sometimes focus slower than OP5 (due OIS), but after focus do nice pictures. OP5 just do something, but not pictures (I talking about pictures made inside with low lighting)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
Im sorry mate im not sure what you mean, but if you are happy with Sammy Just keep it, but im glad i switched :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] paulyz:
I returned OP5, maybe, need to wait xiaomi mi6 plus (because I want minimum 5.5" screen) or buy s7edge.... I don't know. or maybe oneplus will fix camera after couple weeks (but I don't think, because people talk what sensor is to small for low light photos).
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] badboy47:
mine arrived today and I am in the process of sending it back.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] casual_kikoo:
Why?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
Have you not seen all the reported issues and meh camera
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
I'm still undecided. I got the phone today. It takes me a good 3 days to get used to new phone.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Ackalo:
i don't know is it allowed to post link here, got mine from t-dimension uk on ebay , disabled all bloatware and is good to go :good:

Had all of oneplus phones just didn't loved screen on opo 3 now i will wait a little longer to see how is going with opo 5 i like the hardware

only doubt for me is screen .
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Urbanrootz:
What reported issues? 4 out the 6 reviews love the phone/camera. Some hoped for better photos, but all in all good camera.

I returned mine because it was defective, but replacement is on the way -

Update on RMA: 7/4

So I receive my OP5 on 6/23, I returned it on 6/24 because it was defective (the volume rocker button came off, WTF :eek:)

It was received by Acer Service Return Center (an authorized OnePlus Service Partner) on 6/30

I was told via a chat session on 7/3 that it will take 2 days before the device is checked, 2 more days before it will be approved for replacement, and then I will have to wait 3-7 business days before I got a new OP5. If its a defective OP5, why am I waiting for it to be checked before a new device is shipped. At this point I really don't even want the phone anymore.

This is quickly becoming my worst experience with OP

. :(

Update on RMA: 7/13

Finally got my OP5 replacement back today, it has been 3 weeks today. New device seems much better, notice the build date was 2017.6.29 compare to the first one 2017.6.07 NO jelly effect as some reported, so far it seems solid. We shall see as time goes on.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] casual_kikoo:
So you make your opinion on others reviews ??

And stop being so negative with the camera OMG, this is not a DSLR, I know OnePlus make too many ads on it, but is not like the camera was from 10 years ago.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
i chose to pass on the OP5 for the samsung s8. you can get one for $460 after tax right now if you trade in any old android phone. camera is light years ahead of OP5.

gotta love all that RAM, though
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
Lightyears ahead .. plz check the comparison of the two, ofcourse S8 takes the win, with a noteable difference but lightyears? nah it's noteable nothing more.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
http://www.samsung.com/us/trade-in/

i got one for $460. no gimmicks.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
i sold my old samsung S7 for 350, so the OP5 only costed me 150. so not realy 460. you just traded your old phone thats it lol.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
it's light years ahead because of the features. OP has managed to cram a bunch of hardware in there, without much software development. pretty much the opposite of robust.

a lot of thought has gone into s8, whereas the OP5 is just trying to keep up. just like the 3T, the camera on the 5 (as an example) will likely always have issues focusing and never reliably take pics consistently. you can keep cramming more megapixels and RAM into a phone and it's still not going to perform like an s8. i jumped on board the sammy hater bandwagon and got the 3T. i was pretty disappointed most every time i took a picture or video. quite frankly, the camera on 3T sucks. maybe 1/50 pics comes out looking great.

---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ----------

i don't understand your logic...

i traded in a $30 phone and got $200, plus another $100 off. that's $300 off for the cost of a crappy go phone.

they would have given you $350 for that s7 too, btw
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
check the comparisons https://www.androidcentral.com/camera-comparison-oneplus-5-vs-samsung-galaxy-s8

So please before making stuff up that OP5 is lightyears ahead, think again. S8 wins the camera true, but the OP5 takes a pretty good swing.

Good to hear that your happy with the S8 though, im happy i left the bloated lagwiz.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] badboy47:
I am coming from OnePlus 3 and I just don't see it as a big upgrade. For a $479 you get a phone that is not waterproof; no sd card and no wireless charging. I end up buying the Galaxy S8 Unlocked. There is no doubt OnePlus 5 is developer friendly where the S8 is not even rootable. In the end, I realized i dont need a rooted phone. I just want a phone that is stable with matured software. I hated touchwiz for along time but I really like the new software changes on the S8. It has a very materialistic design with so many features (waterproof, sd card, wireless charging, infinity display, FM Radio, themes, customize nav bar / app drawer, secure folder, dual audio, edge feeds and apps, finger gestures, lots of camera features and on and on... I just got the phone few days ago and i am still exploring!). Thanks to Snapdragon 835 it doesnt lag!! Of course, to many these features could be gimmick but I really like them and definitely bang for the buck. Anyway just my opinion.

Picked the honor 9 up this afternoon really nice device [emoji3]

Headset looks nice not try them out yet, I remember seeing them when they did the press launch couple weeks back

Magnetic too[emoji3]

[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jvidia:
Why Honor 9 and not the bigger Honor 8 Pro?

Bigger 2K display, bigger battery too.

That's what I talked before.

The Honor 9 is only 5.15"
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] einermusstot:
returned mine on tuesday, couldn't stand the jellyscrolling. I am reading a lot of mails related to work and this gave me a headache. too bad it is a good phone otherwise. I just ordered a Xiaomi mi6 Ceramic/128Gb for 420€, I think it will work way better.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cheesechocolate:
Ordered a Nexus 6p. Will be arriving tomorrow.

Will be holding off for the next Oneplus device.

For those of you interested, there's plenty of deals out there on S8 ,S8+, and even the S7 edge. Heck, even the G6 is up for a bargain.

...and any of those devices would hold up pretty good for resale come the next Oneplus launch.

I have a feeling, the Oneplus 5 resale value is gone...

IMHO, get by the next few months with a cheap option and save your money for the next Oneplus device.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] DSF:
I think for many people not the Money is the problem. For example coming from a s7 for me is an overall much better experience (in: performance, UI, battery life, phone temperature, etc). Also i've saw the s8 and simply i don't want that. G6 is a no go from start because of the software. And i really like the cool (temperature) and no-sweaty metallic back, no more back glass for me :).

I have the jelly effect and i can see it it's very noticeable.. but it doesn't bother me (at least for now, just received the device yesterday).

I don't have any plan to return the phone for now.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] cheesechocolate:
For most people in the world, Money is THE PROBLEM.

Right but when a new G6 sells for less than $400 on Swappa and an S8 sells for as much as an OP5 and the S8+ for only a lil more, the comparison becomes ever so hard for OP5 to keep up.

Mind you, I'm not hating on this device. Heck, I bought two of those! My only point is, when you consider the resale value and, consequently, value for money, a $540 OP5 is making less and less sense dollar to dollar against these other devices which will, pretty much, not lose as much of their value as the OP5 will.

Oh, and about the jelly effect. You've only had it for a couple of days. Are you sure it's not going to worsen after a month when your device is completely submerged in your usage patterns and the internals have to keep up with all those things you would do hundreds of times a day on your phone?

If I know anything about phones, it's that they do get slower over time and any such effects or irregularities will only magnify over time.

Bad battery life will become worse.

Slow and stuttery scrolling will become even slower and stutter more.

Are you sure that this jelly effect and other quality issues with this OP5 won't magnify over time? Are you so sure as to bet $540 on it?

I know my answer.

The no. 1 mistake that OP made with this phone was neither the jelly effect =, nor the camera...it was THE PRICE!

For $400, I would forgive such blemishes.

For $540, Imma kick your a$$ into the return mail.

My $ ain't so cheap.
