No, really, not 99%.

It's just a gimmick. Is the 2 seconds needed to plug a USB cable in to your phone such a great hardship that you'd rather wait 3-4 hours charging, instead of 1 hour needed with Dash Charge (or whatever OnePlus have decided to call it now)?

Really?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joshuadjohnson22:
we found the 1% lol. But honestly, I really do miss this feature. Sure, dash change is a game changer. But the ease at night of night having to fumble for a cable is nice. Or while at work just to drop it on a pad. It would cost them next to nothing to put a coil in the phone to do this. Those who only use dash can be happy, and wireless charger addicts will be happy. Just a mistake...

For me the phone is decent, the vibration motor is a little weak IMO (coming from a S8). It is fast and the screen is ok. I do miss the S8 screen a bit though. Camera is great IMO. I like it better than the S8 in most cases. My battery life hasn't been great but I think a widget or something was causing the drain. VoLTE seems to drain the battery fast. Just initial thoughts. An upgraded 2k screen, wireless charging and using the ear piece speaker as a dual speaker would have made this the perfect smartphone of 2018. But it is growing on me.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Thunder_47:
Bro, I've seen you all over the forum spouting nothing but dislike and disappointment and advertising the next big thing by Xiaomi. I believe your exact words were "A Bit Underwhelmed".

We have different lifestyles and choices. Some of us work at a desk, using their phone often, it would be nice to just drop the phone next to whatever you're doing and have it charge. Not everybody has access to a cable manager or wants to keep a USB cable sitting out next to their work area for when they need a fast charge.

Or like this gentleman said, maybe some of us don't want to fumble around at home or at night for the charger.

We have our own opinions.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pro4ever:
Just an observation coming from 5t the new op6 charging cable feels lot more thicker:o
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ascertion:
Signal penetrates glass much easier than metal, so your signal should be better with this device as opposed to other metal devices.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
^^ this. The whole wireless charging is the dumbest crap. 10 min on dash charge is the equivalent of 45 to an hour on wireless charging dock. I mean if your port went bad I could understand it but how the hell often does that happen? And if you're able to connect a wireless charger to an outlet, you can plug in your dash charger and be done soon much faster.

Dumbest complaint/feature
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:
Wireless charging means less stress on the battery meaning it loses capacity more slowly, great for overnight charging, plus you don't wear out the charging port. Really wish it had a metal back as a single drop may mean serious damage. Going to have to use a case for the first time ever, sigh
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] masri1987:
plus let's not forget that if you have a case on your phone wireless charging is soooo useless because you'd have to take ur phone out the case each time
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] t2jbird:
I have never found wireless charging useful. Maybe in a car, but my car can't do that so I don't care.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bradl79:
has anyone found the swipe fingerprint notifications "I loved that feature, surprised they removed it"

What root method did you use and do you have magisk?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
The FHD res is once again junk on this phone. Anyone that says they can't see the difference between that and a QHD display is lying.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] racka:
It's not there anymore. In think this has to do with the smaller fingerprint sensor (vertical).

I miss it too, i hope they still will squeeze it in there.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] trsix:
No desire for wireless charge

[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] intruda119:
Clear they are holding things back for the 6t. Following the steps of apple and any other company in the world. This is my first OnePlus device as I avoided all the early days with bad marketing skemes.

Been using Nexus devices, Huawei mate 7-9 and lastly note 8(recently sold). Have a $100 essential phone for backup.

Im not in love with the OnePlus 6.

Battery life is blah. Nothing extra special. Still need to hit the charger around 5pm(off charger at 6am). Not only against OnePlus buy nothing comes close to Huawei and battery life.

Dash charger is great but Its 2018. Chargers everywhere. Every eom phone/chargers gives you a day of battery within 30 minutes. It's faster but so.

It feels like I settled. Same delusional pixel owners have with issues but compromise because of camera. Have this same feeling when I use to buy meizu devices. Compromise mixed with potential.

Pros

Big screen. It's no note 8 but nothing beats oled.

Above average battery life

Smooth. It's stock Android

Midnight black is great

Comes with basic essentials

Tweaker friendly

Cons.

Screen. It's ok. Qhd with option of different resolutions like Samsung. There is a major difference. No punch with this screen unless I'm missing something.

Speaker is just horrible. I don't need dual(would be nice) but 1 good one would be great. Audio in general is blah. Could be placebo or something but wired/Bluetooth feels like it's lacking something. After playing with eq.

No micro SD slot

Recovery. They left out install options wtf. We are beta testers. No way to load files and install zip. Only in fastboot. Rushed.

My biggest con. Why is this great dash charger usb 2.0. Felt like I stepped in stone age. Thought my PC was having issues. Got a 128 to be able to carry files with me on the go.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] gleggie:
Not necessarily true. Yes charging your phone slowly is better for the battery. But wireless charging generates a lot of extra heat compared to wired charging. So in the end, I'd much rather just dash charge and top off whenever I need to. Dash charging keeps the heat buildup in the charging brick and away from the phone which is why it's so great. I personally like to keep my 5T between 30% and 80% charge. Lower or higher than that will *slightly* reduce your battery capacity over time. But we're all nit picking here. Just use the phone as you like to and in a few years get a new one if another phone has the features you like.

I'm very happy with my 5T but I may still get the 6 if the xda development is strong. 5T resale value is still pretty good right now.

How do you people feel about the gestures replacing the nav bar?

It took me a day to get used to them but I'm quite liking now the full screen, specially considering the nav bar was always white even on black content, which was super annoying.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] t2jbird:
I just wish there was an easy way to trigger Google Assistant with gestures, without putting the assistant app icon on my dock.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Exelios:
Does your voice saying "Ok Google" count as a gesture? :D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] toxic_garden:
i saw it in the reviews and was a bit sceptical about Nova Launcher misinterpreting the gestures as something else. But turns out i was wrong. The gestures work like a charm and i didn't even consider going back to nav buttons for now. It seems like this technique, which is pretty much some kind of experiment from OP, was not only designed but also implemented way better than i excpected. :D
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] t2jbird:
Never been a big fan of that. Maybe if I could customize the hot word. I preferred holding the home button.

Edit: Found a pretty good workaround: Set the Home Button Action on the Home Screen to Assistant on Nova Launcher. Works like a charm.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cazcryy:
This isn't how everyone uses wireless charging though. I completely agree with you for daily charging, but some heavy users use wireless charging throughout the day to prevent having to top up midday (e.g. placing your phone on a wireless charger instead of on the table). But yeah definitely not 99% lol
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] manishdev:
Wanted to check with the folks here, hows the vibration strength and speakers in general? I hated both these in one plus one and now my one plus 3 and need to buy a new phone soon.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
The speaker is really terrible and the vibration is weak. They're both big negatives on the OP6.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
The question I have about this whole issue about wireless charging. I understand if people are invested in the pads and car chargers with wireless charging and want to keep using the equipment they already spent money on, I get that. But the reasons I keep hearing don't seem to make much sense to me. You're talking about power/heavy users needing to use the wireless charging as convenience throughout the day but how they hell are they using the phone to be a heavy user if it's always on a slow wireless charger and you can't pick it up to use it? I mean when on the dash charger you can at least pick the phone up and still use it and it charges the same speed as if you were not using the phone. It still seems way more logical and practical to just use the cable and for 30 min be done for the rest of the day IF you even need to charge at mid day. I'm a heavy user just from work alone (40+ emails a day with replies, texting, hour or 2 a day of calls, Web browsing, excel and word docs) that's not including Whatsapp voice and texting, YouTube for about an hour a day and I still go home with 35-40% battery. Granted no games or anything, not a power user but still a heavy user.

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Yeah, I have to agree. The speaker is just meh but loud. The vibration motor was really weak on my OP5 and seems maybe bit stronger but still weak.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cazcryy:
I mean I obviously don't know everyone's usage pattern but all I'm saying is there's a merit to this being a convenient option depending on how people use their phone. Obviously no matter how you use your phone, dash charging is way more efficient. And if you're a heavy user in that you use it constantly, keeping it on a pad while not in use won't make much of a difference. For someone not constantly using it, but draining a lot of battery per use (e.g. gaming, youtube) for example, this could be a viable option and would be more convenient than plugging and unplugging, or using while plugged. I personally don't see a need to wirelessly charge with phones like this, but certainly needed to with phones like S6 edge back in the day, due to the shorter battery life. But that's based on my usage. I did disagree that this would be a required feature for most people, but I still wouldn't characterize this as a pointless gimmick for everyone.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
Yeah I get it. I guess the only real real reason in my mind for Wireless charging is while in the car so you don't have wires everywhere and generally you aren't needing to hold the phone for calls and maps kind of thing. That's about it in my mind i guess. Cheers!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cazcryy:
Agreed that it'd be most useful in a car. I tried looking for a decent magnetic wireless charging mount for my car a while back but have long given up. There's clasp mounts that support wireless charging but the inconvenience of the clasps totally negate the convenience of wireless I think lol.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mikex8593:
The reason for glass back is to improve wireless data. I can confirm that it is substantially better with network speeds than my 3t verified both on T-Mobile and straight talk (AT&T SIM).
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Eric214:
Agreed, I will be in the living room and that is the area in my house with the best signal. My OP5 had 48mbps down and I switched my sim into my OP6 and got 135mbps down, both obviously on LTE and I do not live in an area with the new 600mHz band 71.

No doubt the glass back along with the 4x4 MIMO cat 16 is making a HUGE difference!
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] RickCain:
I don't find the speaker to be that terrible, only thing I use it for is as a speaker phone.

Vibration is weak but then again I've never had an Android phone that had a good vibration motor......
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] -=zipp=-:
I have weak vibration motor and terrible loud speaker too. And the back LED is also very weak, not usable as a flashlight (night and day compared to my S8), the front notification LED is also very small and weak :-/

ad display: I must say the display looks better on OnePlus 6 than on S8, it is definitely brighter and has nicer colors. I use FHD+ on S8 (tried WQHD+, but saw no difference)
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samitro:
Unfortunately, I have to agree. It is not sharp but grainy, maybe the pentile matrix type of display? I love everything else about the phone apart from the display and I'm coming from iphone 8 plus with comparable PPI so I don't think it is the resolution but the display technology. I love Amoled displays but this does not look that good
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
Yeah, it's the pentile AMOLED. You can see it in some YouTube review videos through the camera that is filming, it's pretty ugly. You're getting an effective resolution of around 900p.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samitro:
I'm still within the 14 days period so can return my phone if I don't get used to it. The question is what is the alternative? Apart from Pixel, no other Android has stock or near Android experience and the pixel's display is even worse. Maybe S9 with lineageOS?
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] masri1987:
if you are in the US there aren't much alternatives that let you have unlocked bootloader.. if you aren't tho, have at it with the exynos s9
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] B3501:
I don't think the S9 has Lineage.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Exelios:
Off topic man

Anyway, I have the S9+ and the LOS is for it is so broken, HW composer ghosting, no force 18:9 aspect ratio, camera broke in last build...

Sounds like the perfect ROM I would recommend to my enemy

Now back on topic please.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] samitro:
OK, here is an update on this topic. I have removed the pre-installed screen protector and the screen looks much better to me, it is almost as sharp as the iphone 8 plus, much more acceptable to me not and is something I can live with.
[OnePlus 6 Guides, News, & Discussion] VonSohn:
Yeah, that's a pretty common issue with films. Those reduce brightness and add that grainy-ness sometimes.

Hello everyone,

Folks, i would like to know if i make rebrand, will i get giteki mark

If i change C432 (europe) to C635 (japan), will the certification mark change too ?

I need a special certification who is used in Japan called giteki mark. This mark allows smartphones works normally by the local laws without making infractions.

Guys, if i change region, will the certificates change?

Thanks a lot for your help! :)

[Moto Z Questions & Answers] Jeik:
You're talking about downgrading your device.

Any phone which is launched with Oreo has to support Treble. I doubt an OEM would add support for Treble to a budget device which launched without it.

Oh come on that's never an issue :) script and bypass by exploiting it :)
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KinG5Pac:
Thats huge NO NO, this is my first and last Huawei device. I love my p9 and was planning to get p20 pro but now... If they get out with this most of companies will follow imo
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vampirian:
Nuh i dont think so. And its not the first company who actually done it. And again its in their legal rights to do so., but as i said it very easy to exploit the bootloader without bootloader code and it will not make any difference customizing it. Back in my days we had to crack the CD to clone the game....and even today we crack the EXE to play pirate games. The same will happen with the devices. Samsung and Google already locked many devices and you was not able to get a bootloader code. That did not stop us though :P
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] clouds5:
Same thing here. P9 was really great had it for two years and I was very satisfied. But no way am I going with the P20. It has terrible value... So expensive? Bad design choices...

I think most companies take a bad turn after they get too big. Same thing with Samsung. They made an almost perfect phone with the Galaxy S3 (at the time) for a great price. Then they kept releasing the same design but increased price every year and now they sell glass slates that break if you look at them wrong, that cost 1000$.

I just got an amazing deal on an LG G6 which already has Oreo. That will hopefully last me until this whole notch/no headphone-jack craze washes over!
[Huawei P9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Akinaro:
Its not about "getting to big". Look at it from company and market perspective. Some people here dont get it but modded devices take really small percentage of overall Android devices out there. We sit inside and read about that so we thing that everyone doing that but, most of android users dont even know what Android version they have, for them its just "Android Phone" + Brand name.

But for past year that number of custom roms and forcing updates that users do because they dont want to wait for official OTA grow and companies want to protect their names so there will be no situation like company is known that it have bad devices because people who mess with firmware cry about it all over the internet creating bad reputation.

Huawei was never perfect device for modding, and because Huawei is one of the biggest companies that aim for top they want to smooth their reputation by protecting their devices(no messing with bootloader = marketing advertising for "safe" device) and make users to use build in features and updates that they can control instead of messing with device to get it.

And yes, some people will cry that they will never get Huawei device again, or cry that its worst decision, but in reality those people are less than 0.5% of their worldwide user base. Some people will still mod those devices because they know-how, and stopping "easy way" to unlocking bootloader is not big deal, and Huawei devices are not alone here, there is lots of other devices and few companies that also block it and no one cry about it beside small number of people.

For me and probably for most of people it dont matter, Huawei devices are not bad compared to other companies, they work good, and for all normal people thats matter: that device work good. Today there is not much reason to mod devices, most of options that people need are build in, performance on even mid-range devices are good, no need to tinker under the hud like in old days to get device to work smooth. There are still many apps that need root and there are many roms that are really good, but most of people dont need that anymore, and only new users and people who are bored tinker with it... and for most of time screw their devices and then cry all over the internet that phone dont work...
