so far i really like it - but its huge :helpme

Congratulations for your brand new android smartphone, oneplus has top reviews on the net.

Looks great! I've read about those and favorable reviews on it!
Nice looking, too!

interested in hearing your thoughts on cyanogen mod for this device.

Looks nice, congrats :thumbsup

so far i can say everything works really smooth, screen is great, it's really fast

there's the Cyanogen theme and the original Google Holo UI - which i chose

it's difficult for me though to point out what exactly are the Cyanogen additions to basic Android 4.4 - besides encrypted SMS with other Cyanogen users

but one thing is sure: there is absolutely no extra crap installed unlike on almost all other phones - and i love that already

I wonder how long is the battery working...

several reviewers have already said it's the best they had - i can't say yet

i started with setting up, installing apps etc 10 hours ago and it is at 50% now. and it's only the first charge.

but i can easily see it lasting 2-3 days the way i usually use it - already my S4 mostly lasts for 2 days. i am not a heavy user

Nice but i rather go with this: http://www.catphones.com/phones/b15q-smartphone.aspx Unless it's talking time is longer then 16 hours.

Got any spare invites? :)

Oneplus one = nice phone :thumbsup

unfortunately not - i got the phone cause someone gave me his

sorry :(

It looks nice

Looks great

Smart = Slave.

Getting a new phone means you know how you'll be spending your weekend? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :uhoh

now he will be able to read currentlysober's posts on the toilets

how many invites you got ?

in my age spending time on my sofa doing nothing has become something very worthwhile :winkwink:

I've had mine for over a month, I gave it to my gf because I hate Android :(
Thought I could get used to it but nope :( I wish it was similar to iOS, I don't like how you have to download apps to do ANYTHING, makes me feel like I'm bogging down my phone when the same thing is an editable setting control in iOS.

I have 5 spare invites tho for anyone that wants some.

It is fast, it does have a great screen, it looks badass, feels badass.
Just wish it was running iOS.

Hi Tidal, I'll take one of those invites please. sharpedezine @ gmail

Appreciate it and thanks in advance.

i wonder what settings in all these years of using Android phones i have missed - because i don't have any extra apps when it comes to that

mind if I bum an invite? :)

apple fanboys may not be the brightest bunch. Did not have anything like that when I had android phones as well. Basically it is bad because it does not have apple sticker :1orglaugh

Looks pretty sweet :thumbsup

@MaDalton, what is the finish like on the back of the phone? How does the phone feel in your hand? Is it nice and hefty or does it feel cheap and plastic?

first of all: not cheap at all, the whole phone feels like twice the price, at least

and I would describe it as soft sandpaper

i have not much to add to this:

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/m...xplicit.72181/

just one thing: some phones seem to have a problem with a yellowish part on the bottom of the screen, i read it's due to not giving the glue enough time to dry (and it can be fixed with UV light)

mine doesn't have that problem

that problem is old, it no longer happens at all. ive had mine for a while, and i didnt have yellow tint.
that was original batch phones and was solved with software or something.

yeah - i just mentioned cause the guy writes about it in his review that i posted above

Still nobody said what is duration of talking time with battery.

a long ass time -- who knows how long, why are you talking on the phone 16 hours straight? lol

I dont,but you never know when such need can occur.

Not sure if Tidal got inundated with requests before I asked for an invite but if anyone else has an invite they'd like to share, I'd be very pleased to get one. My email is: sharpedezine @ gmail (dot com)

Thanks for the link to the review MaDalton. I'm looking to upgrade from my iphone and actually quite liked the HTC M8, but this oneplus does seem to look nicer and has some very good specs.

what do you want - that someone takes the time just for you and makes a phone call until the battery dies??

read the reviews, people are happy with the battery

maybe someone even tried what you are looking for, i am sure you have heard of google

Well if you could do that would be nice :upsidedow

Funny, the reasons you hate Android are similar to the reasons I hate IOS.

Love the freedom I have with Android.

Anyway if you have a spare invite i'd love one :) rob at fuzebucks dot com

i discovered lots of things the last 2 days - just not always sure if its the Android 4.4 or Cyanogen Mod they're based on

but i don't care :)

and the only system app i replaced is the Google calendar - it's horrible, i found a better one

and regarding battery:

the phone is on for 10 hours now, i had a 15 min. phonecall, took 20 pictures, installed some apps, played with the settings, used some apps like Facebook and the battery is at 80%

Got mine a few weeks ago and I love it. The picture quality and 4k video waste my old Nexus. Having the screen up and out of the case is a nice touch for being able to use the entire area but I got nervous and bought a bumper.

For the price and quality this phone CAN NOT be beat :)

I've ordered one yesterday and can't wait to hold it in my hands.
@MaDalton How long was the delivery time for your phone?

Are you sure you can't call someone and speak to them till your battery dies? I mean seriously, why can't you do this for the guy? You're so mean!

was quick - maybe 4-5 days - but they didn't deliver to CZ so i had them send it to Germany first and that person forwarded it to me


i am not even dignifying that with an answer :1orglaugh
(the original request that is)

Yet it's never the so called "Apple fanboys" who bring up Apple in threads like this. Congratulations on being the one.

If you are saying that it was me who brought up apple then you missed something. The person that I quoted did it.

how do I get one? :)

Well now i regret getting my lg g3 having seen this and it's specifications...although i guess mine wasn't THAT much more expensive

i had switched off while i slept but it's back on for 5 hours, i did emails, SMS etc and the battery is now at 60%

@KlenTelaris he also called me and spoke to me for 6 hours. All this and the battery is still at 60% charge. I think that's amazing.

Oh and MaDalton, don't ever call me again and talk for that long mate! My ears hurt now ...

heh - how do i get my clients to buy content if not by talking them into a coma?

:winkwink:
