[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] WaxysDargle:
i own the s8 and the OP5

OP5 is my daily driver. i really wish i could put the s8 camera hardware/software into the OP5, but the OP5 camera is 'good enough'.

that being said, the OP5 is superior in almost every other way. s8 has more neat features (like retina scanning), but i did not find any of them to be very useful. the s8 is also very fragile. i am very careful with my devices, but as i learned with my note5 it does not matter how careful you are, sometimes things just happen. i dropped my note5 from about 6 inches off the ground and shattered the glass back.

i also found the infinity display of the s8 to be annoying. the rounded edges look great, but i constantly found myself grazing the edges by accident and making accidental touches. phone cases can not protect the rounded edges. also, the rounded edges cause problems with features on websites or apps that have buttons near the top or bottom of the screen. looks cool, but not very practical.

some complain that the OP5 has some bugs in the software, and i can attest that the s8 does too. some of the advanced bluetooth features really struggle. a few times i had wifi issues.

all of that combined with a locked-down bootloader means i am back with oneplus (after selling my 3T). OP5 is a great device and i feel like i get what i paid for with it.

As far as I know exynos is closed source, so rom and kernel development is better on snapdragon. Also the 8895 throttle while doing heavy stuffs, while the 835 stays cool all the time without throttling.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
As far as I know, at the time of me having the s8, there was no way to unlock the bootloader on the Snapdragon model. Which was also the case with the Snapdragon s7.

My Exynos s6 I had before the s8 was easily unlocked and had tons of ROMs available. Unfortunately they are pretty well all TouchWiz based ROMs but I had no issue with that. It was nothing like earlier TouchWiz once all the bloat was gone.

I think you have to go back as far as the s5 for the Snapdragon version to be better for development.

Same boat over here my s7e was Exynos and was thinking for the s8 I would get it as well but got stuck to locked snapdragon. I'm deciding right now to get a pixel xl or op5
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] thenexor:
I have seen few mentions of the main hardware differences between the two phones, except the screen: sd card support, OIS and USB3 are in favour of the S8! These are all the missing feats keeping the OP5 from being my perfect smartphone... But the higher price, worse software updates and fragile curved screen kept me away from Samsung.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] korom42:
My go for list was either a sony phone (XZ or XZ1) or OP5 ..

Samsung's won't work for me.. Sony phones value seem to drop fast here where I live so i'll be going with OP5 unless I find XZ/XZ1 for really good deal
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
My mom has a pixel and it seems really nice. No complaints from her so far and she's not good with technology lol. I think the op5 seems to beat all the other phones when it comes to battery life and charge speed. The s8 was the most pretty phone I've seen and the op5 is pretty but not quite as nice. Also the display looks a bit nicer on the s8.

Camera is good on both but probably a bit better on the s8. The speaker volume and quality is way better on the OnePlus 5 compared to the s8. It's louder than my HTC one m9 and not much worse quality.

I would recommend the op5 having used it and the s8. There are sacrifices but it's an awesome phone overall.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jim262:
There is no comparison. I have both phones and the S8+ is far superior. That does not mean the OP5 is a bad phone, but you get so much more with the S8+. It's camera is one of the best, the 5"s is ok. The S8 has the better display. The OP5 has the same display as last year. There isn't a phone that is more beautiful than the S8+ on the market. Granted OOS is better than TouchWiz, but they changes they have made are pretty good. Plus it is IP68, it also has features like Iris scanning and facial recognition. It also comes with expandable storage. If you can get the OP5 super cheap, around $400, it's worth it, but otherwise don't waste your money. Go for the Galaxy.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Symphony0fLife:
Since I paid to get the OP5 to replace my S8+, not a chance in hell.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jim262:
I paid $399 for my 3, $395 for my 3T and paid $416 for my 5. Good phones, but hardly great phones. The S8+, in my opinion, is a great phone:cowboy:. The S8+ is definitely a contender and the OP5 is a pretender. OP needs to offer much more before it charges flagship prices.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
so useless junk apps and bloatware makes it a great phone ?

Not even once, the only noticeable difference that makes the S8 better is the camera and water proofing.

The rest just no.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jim262:
The useless apps and bloat can always be deleted. I do this with every phone, including the 5. OOS has some unnecessary programs too. As far as the camera goes, I have both phones and I think think the difference is huge, especially in low light. Remember, software can always be changed and I usually do with all phones. My S8+ is debloated, Bixby is disabled and the phone is the themed with sustratum and I use Nova launcher plus the companion for Google Now feed. But the hardware is fantastic, plus it is great to plug it into DeX and be able to use it as a computer and I can save all that to expandable storage, which the 5 does not have. The 5 also doesn't have as high a resolution for use with VR, plus it doesn't have wireless charging as well.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] roba93:
The Samsungs are great phones i had the S7 before and the camera was awsome. However i hated the overall touchwiz .. could do as many mods and launchers as i could but still was not even close to stock Google feel.

For my needs the op5 is awsome. Its Snappy its close to gstock, battery is fine. But depends on what the user requires :)
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jim262:
TouchWiz has been greatly improved since the S7, in fact, they don't even call it atouvhwiz any longer, but even OOS doesn't come close to an AOSP room. The S8+ is very snappy as well and offers way more than the 5. So I have more flexibility than I do with my 5. It's actually closer to the 3T than the S8+.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
After spending over a decade modding phones this kind of thread keeps coming up.When will people learn that there really is no better device. It all comes down to what you use. a Perfect example is my brother who is a die hard Samsung nut as to where I have not loyalty to any OEM (never understood it to be honest) On one hand his device works great with all his stuff like his smart watch, TV, Car ext while one plus has a hard enough time connecting to android wear let alone anything else. Yet as I dont use most of that (the android wear thing hit home as I know have a smart watch I cant use because of my device but hey) So it doesnt really bother me too much. I prefer the ability to make my own rom for my device over the options a Samsung device offers.

So it all comes down to what you want personally.

Features (gimmic?)

Or

Lots (sometimes pointless) updates and not being tied to the OEM for anything.

i will not switch for samaung becouse first there is in xda-developera tggk1993 or somrthing like that who make kernel and he dont exolain how yoy can do it, when you write him he comment you arrogant, self-fat, bad person and etc. second samsung haa spy programs include in samsung, and with every new version samsung will force humankind who use samsung to comply with they new law order and share all they 24 h. x 7 day 365 what everybody ia doing. four samau g with every new model wil make price more money. i have samaung s7 i can tell you it is slow and evwrt day samsung is slow in the moment my samaung s7 has more than 520 active process. so in linux server normaly you has 120 active process. but if you use samsung you are gonna have 520 active orocess and more, so for that your smartphone willbe slow. 5 samsung false comment thwy had 4 gb. of ram and when you buy samsung you only have free 1.5 gb. free ram, and from 32 gb. hard disk space you only have less hard disk space. So samsung is false company who only seek for money. and i will not change samsung if it is free. so peoples are you gonna sell your freedom if samsung give you they smartphone free or pay.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] jim262:
While I realize that much of it comes to personal preference there is also many physical differences as well. For example there is no way one can equate a budget phone with a flagship. But I do agree with you that opinion is what matters most and I gave mine based on first hand use of both phones. Heck, I even like my Nexus 6 or Note 3 and still use them, but I would not say, that even though I might still prefer to use them on any given day, they are better than my S8+.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Wow you really don't know what you are talking about. The whole android OS spy on you all the time. Heck they can tell the last time you used an app on your device, where you go, who you talk to and what you talk about. Google is a data collection company.

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 AM ----------

Better is a relative term really. I still have a Nexus 6 as well and it could still be a daily driver with no real reason to upgrade to any device available. Only reason I had to was the USB went bad and I don't have the desire to fix it (might still just for fun)

We are in the same boat. I only trust my own personal experience with a device. I put 0 worth in things like reviews or stats of a device.

LineageOS, also known as LineageOS Android Distribution and Lineage (/ˈlɪn.i.ɪdʒ/), is a free and open-source operating system for smartphones and tablet computers, based on the Android mobile platform. It is the successor to the highly popular custom ROM CyanogenMod, from which it was forked in December 2016 when Cyanogen Inc. announced it was discontinuing development and shut down the infrastructure behind the project.[1][2] Since Cyanogen Inc. retained the rights to the Cyanogen name, the project rebranded its fork as LineageOS.[3]

Hi,

just another question by a lam3 user :D

After some day using my tytn, i noticed that the keyboard is very loose, just after locking it under the lcd.

to explain better: video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj56htWOHEk

as you see, the keyboard is very loose just after locking it.

My device id is 640, so it is affected by some keyboard sliding problems(is a v1605)...but my question is: There is something i can do to fix this?

i tried to tighten the screws i signed here

but without significative improvement.

this is a minor issue,i think, but if i can fix it my tytn will go better in my huge hands ;)

however, no problem if the fixing procedure involves to remove the warranty sticker up the screw, the tytn is on italy and i do not think that vodafone uk will change it ;)

many many thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StarMonkee:
The screws you've tightened are just for the housing. To make the keyboard tighter, you need to take the device apart :)

These 2 links explain everything you need:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] C Brown:
underneath your main board is 4 screws tighten those and you should be set. If not you may need to by a new housing. I hope the tighten helps though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gtazok:
omg, this will really need to open all the device! :(:(:(

damn, there is no other way?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StarMonkee:
I couldn't really tell from your video if it is the standard loose keyboard problem you've got, but my keyboard was loose in the way that when closed it could 'fall' open pretty easily.

I used the guides above, and while it does invalidate your warranty (unless you're able to remove the warranty sticker without breaking it), it is very easy to do and put back together.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gtazok:
my problem is, as shown on video:

when i try to press the power button, i apply some force to my forefinger to tighten the grabbing around the phone.

when i apply this force, the upper part of the phone(the part where is the buttons of mail and iexplore) slide off the housing, and go for about 2 mm (as shown in the video).

i will like to tightnen this, to do that the phone will never slide the keyb without apply *Decent* pressure.

the keyboard,however, stay solid when fully opened, and *decent* pressure is needed to restore it from the full opening to housing closed.

was i *almost* clear? i'm very sorry but i understand that my english is a mess and really confusing, but if someone could guide me, i can do photo, pictures and so on.

thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StarMonkee:
Yep, that sounds exactly the same as my problem!

The 2 links above should help, as long as you're happy to take the phone apart. If you are willing, it is pretty easy to do, but will invalidate your warranty if you still have one.

A couple of taps on the indents on the sliders with a screwdriver will make the sliders much tighter, and you can test the tightness before putting it back together.

I went a bit overboard with mine and overtightened it, but now I prefer it that way -there's no way the keyboard will slide out without some effort :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gtazok:
great, that was exactly was i searched so!

but..a couple of taps...i have noticed that the indents are "stamped", there is the possibility i will break it with too much force?

and, for opening the tytn, where i can find all the needed in one pack? i live in italy, but i have no idea of what screwdriver and things must(and where)buy.

maybe there is some omnicomprensive pack that could be shipped to italy without problem.

many thanks, i appreciate much

Gtazok
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StarMonkee:
The metal is quite soft in the sliders so it is possible to hit it too hard, but I don't think you're likely to do that if you start softly and keep testing the slider tightness until it's right.

The only 'special' screws are the ones holding the case in, but they can be opened pretty easily with a small flat screwdriver. From what I can remember, the screws inside the phone are just small normal screws.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] C Brown:
Okay If you do tighten those screws it will help that. I've seen them to be soo bad that if you tilt the device it slides open. Soo basically if you still under warranty send it to your provider other wise follow this guide.

HI!!

just managed to re-close my hermes (first time i closed it without inserting the last cable LOL...i forgot it, but before powering off he comed to my mind..omg what i have risked not plugging last cable before closing??)

however, i did manage do disassembly only with a standard little screwdriver, not without problems ;)

i just arrived to disassemble the keyb, and get rid on the rails.

I must admit that i NEVER have seen so much dust in a phone(i think mine was re-assembled from another).

i have extracted the rails, the 2, and tried to gentle tapping the indents.No way to go, i tapped *gently*(sometimes a little hard) but i really noticed no improvement :(

so,i thinked:

"if i change the rails, i will have a perfectly mirrored situation, with the keyboard closed it will be ok, with keyb opened it will be a little loose"

(remember, the keyb was loose when try to open it, not when to close)

So i changed the rails, switching them...

and now it's really better, the phone rarely go off his housing, closed, and go down a little more easily(but is acceptable, because i never do any "forcing" when it's open..)

maybe, with time, the opening will become a problem, with the keyb sliding to close when it's open.

However, maybe this not occour.So for now i'm happy :)

last thing. I noticed that on the page where the man tried to adjust the rails, he suggested

1)to tap the indents( tried, work very very little)

2)to insert pieces of ribbon

i not tried the second suggestion, because i have not understand WHERE to insert those pieces.Maybe he was suggesting to insert them at the end of the rails? where the carts block? if it is, why? i tried to pull up the small piece of "sheet"(i don't know if it's the correct term, sorry for my bad english :D) on the border of the cart where it don't block, but whitout results..so inserting ribbon what improvement would have done?

thanks for the patience to read all my messed up english and many thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I think you just need to increase those indents a bit more than you did. It is more successful to tap the indents using a small flat blade screwdriver and a small hammer. (Go easy of course and keep testing as you tap. You want a very firm click into place. You should hear the click and it should be really quite hard to move the slider over the indents using your finger tips)

The tapping technique is probably better than just pressing a screwdriver blade onto the indent. Pressing rather than tapping is likely to simply bend the entire metal strip and curve it slightly. This might improve the grip for a while but as the curve gradually straightens out again the slider will just become loose again. Using the tapping method I did mine well over a year ago and I have never had to redo it and it takes a very firm push an audibl clicks to open the device.

(Buying new sliders will not solve your problem. The vast majority, it seems to me were made withy too shallow indents. It may be worth buying new ones if the micro welds have sprung apart however)

hi

i dismantled my hermes one more time. This time i put out an hammer(a big hammer,indeed)so i "gently" hammered with a flat screwdriver the indents.

result? the keyb is now "really locked" when i open it..but the opening problem remain.

when i try to open it when it is closed, with my finger, i notice that the slipping of the upper left part(seeing the phone from the front) is EVER too loose, i reopened 2 times and tapped "not so gently" the incriminated indent, but i noticed no result. i also tried to exchange the sliders (the lower with the higher) but no improvement was done.

i think that is a defective implementation, because the "centre of pressure" is located in the upper part of the phone, so the phone is like to open more easily when it is closed. Did anyone noticed that?

however, the overall is increased, i think, about 30-40% more tighten as before, and that is no bad.

shame it has no solved my problem, but life it so bad that i can will be live happy with a little loose tytn :o

thanks

i to have a loose slider after purchasing a used phone. the way i fixed it is i did a complete dissasembly (make sure you are properly grounded and take it slow) after a complete dissasembly i removed the back plate from the display. then i layed the back cover of the lcd with the sliders on a flat surface and put a small phillips on the line and gently tapped it. repeat 3 more times in the other locations. it dont take much just a very slight tap. now my phone works like new. thanks for all the info guys :D
