Gemmill 44853 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I love it. Its massive like. When I hold the nexus 4 or 5 my family have now they feel tiny, but battery is phenomenal camera is great. Miss out in the latest versions of android that come out on the nexus, I don't look for cyanogen versions but you could. The charging cable that comes with it is short, which is a pain. I'm trying not to use cheap called that might damage the battery. I didn't realise there was this whole invite/only on sale on Tuesday thing going on, so I just bought one off Amazon. Ended up with a Chinese version that doesn't work on 4G in this country. I knew something was afoot when I got a popup ad for a fucking Avril Lavigne album as I was trying to set the thing up! Anyway, it's going back and I'm gonna wait til Tuesday and order one off their site. I felt like I'd pulled the sort of spaz move my mam would make when it turned up yesterday, and it gradually dawned on me that I'd bought a lemon.

Happy Face 29 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Sorry. I should have said. None of them are 4g compatible in the UK I don't have a 4g contract so didn't cross my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works on EE and Three apparently, although EE is the better of the two. All the rest are no good cos of the band they use. Bit of a fuck up by OnePlus, really!

Happy Face 29 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hopefully O2 will be added to that soon with three buying them. Not worth leaving giff gaff for me. But I'd upgrade if it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44853 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Good recommendin' HF. The real, non Chinese version arrived yesterday and it's quality. Canny bit bigger and heavier than the N5,as you said, but the screen is mint. I got a tempered glass screen protector to try and stop me from fucking it. Loads of babies whining about the lack of Lollipop on the oneplus forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Aye, checked yesterday and saw they went over the ETA of the 30th. I like how the video on the camera pops up an animation telling you to turn your phone around (pet hate to see portrait videos) and includes Timelapse and slow shutter options not on the google camera. I don't like that it doesn't include photosphere so I have the supplied camera and the google installed. The gestures are useful too, they work when the phone is asleep.

Happy Face 29 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 ...and the same way that power button and volume down takes a screenshot on the nexus, the power button and volume up button records video of your screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44853 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 [emoji38] all good knowledge, cheers. I've been wondering why it keeps changing song and stuff. Think I need to educate myself about the different gestures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 One last one, the phone runs perfectly fine as it is for me and the battery is great, but if you activate developer mode you can swith on ART runtime which will run it faster but reduce battery... https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/have-you-tried-android-runtime-art.53013/ I've only just hoyed it on to see if the battery life is too harshly impacted.

Gemmill 44853 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 The battery life seems crazy. I've been fairly non stop on it today, streaming from Spotify etc, and I've got 66% left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44853 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Well that just shows the difference between me and you.

It's canny. The desktop version is the best change, rather than the phone. Much prettier than gmail. Have you got cm12 yet. You can force it to upgrade without rooting. "OK oneplus" seems to be a miserable failure for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44853 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I managed to eventually get OK Oneplus working. At first it wouldn't recognise that I was speaking at all when it was doing the training bit, but after basically shouting at it a few times, it now works. To be honest, I'm not sure I'll ever use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
