OnePlus One - $300 killer Android phone

[Gamer]

So lame. I'm over Oneplus. First and last one I'll own

Because of some software delays? Or you having problems with the handset?

Both. Screen touch glitches require 5 reboots a day. And this isn't the first delay. They don't keep their word

I had screen touch issues for a bit on official CM11S, disappeared with CM12. Sure, if you've got genuine hardware issues that's not cool, but it's only an issue because the phone is imported. If it was local, you'd get a new unit without much fuss or delay. But this was the gamble we all made, knowingly. You're right, you may not wish to gamble again. Although, no point crying if you lose at the tables.
As for software delay, really, who cares, CM12 and many other variants have been available for a long while. An official update now is just another rom to try from all the others.

That doesn't mean he should accept a product that has a variety of problems. It was a risk factor, but that doesn't make a faulty device acceptable.

Precisely why my stated opinion is that he's right, he may not wish to make the same gamble again :erm:

Why, because of one manufacturer providing a poor experience? That would be silly. Anyway, the point was that you mentioned there is not use complaining that his gamble didn't pan out, and I don't agree with that.

same gamble as in another oneplus phone

That purely is a matter of opinion you're perfectly entitled to. Mine is that if someone knowingly and willingly takes a gamble and loses, there's no need to whine about the other party because they lost. Find a sympathetic ear to make you a cup of hot chocolate and make you feel better, fine, but don't come home from the casino broke blaming the casino. **** happens with cellphones and any electronic hardware. Doing a direct import with no local backup is a 100% pure gamble.

I wont lie I was really disappointed they missed the deadline again. What makes it worse is that I have to hear about it from a new site. They don't send out communication to their forums etc.

It's the fact they keep making a promise and a date then keep failing. Rather just say we working on it and will keep everyone in the loop as to what stage its in.

I will be getting a Samsung S6 edge next month as my contract is due for an upgrade. Oh well will have to try out lollipop then.

If you are selling your 1+ when you get your upgrade, contact me, shot.

OPO missed their Oxygen OS deadline. What a surprise.

Yeah, OnePlus has been pathetic with their communications. Definitely won't buy from them again. Dealing with the risk of an RMA from hell is one thing, but crap service and extremely slow firmware updates are too much.

I wish I rooted and flashed CM 12 on earlier than I did. What an amazing improvement.

 

[Gamer]

Is today meant to be the day CM12S is officially released?

I'm still installing CM12 nightlies and find the rom very very good. Battery life is amazing too for my needs.

Of course there is. The only difference between his method of purchase and someone in a supported country is that it's harder for him to RMA the device. Other than that, because the device is an import and not locally sold, that excuses it from device faults and failures? Sorry, no.

No, you are misunderstanding me, the point I made in my original post on the subject is that if it was a local product, a quick repair or swop would be done without much delay, if any. It's only an issue for the buyer (and one that results in him saying "First and last one I'll own") because he's stuck with an international RMA problem. That was the gamble. If local, **** happens, get the phone repaired or replaced, most often same day. This kind of service seldom results in a "First and last one I'll own" response.

OK, that's fair

Latest nightly of CM12 has finally got call recording. Works well. Also includes some April fools joke about Microsoft. This was my screen.

Doing the update now just so i can show my boss

 

[Budza]

I bought another one for a friend on the Open Tuesday- received an invite as a result...

Anyone wanting to buy one, have your PayPal ready and let me know- invite expires in 24 hours!

 

[potti]

I'm looking into buying one.

Is there like a how to or something? I imagine it's not as straight forward as just entering my card details to pay and my address for delivery...?

 

[milomak]

for a phone that is unlock friendly, and seemingly built for people who are happy to run custom roms; it surprises how many people are crying about cm12s and oxygenos being delayed.

the hardware issues i can understand though.
