Capacitive.... ya I use those... I dont see the point of onscreen buttons when those are there anyway.

digitaldr

I find the capacitive buttons too dim and awkward to reach. Also I prefer the back button on the left.

So after 12 hours of using OPO:
I am definetely glad I didn't wait for Nexus 6.
I love how light it is and the camera is pretty amazing.
The screen size also feels JUST about right, wouldn't want bigger or smaller 5.5 is just right. Love it so far.

Spent 2 hours crawling through settings and all the modifications you can do, its just amazing.


P.S - who uses on-screen buttons and who doesn't? (I don't use onscreen, I use the other alternative (whatever it's called)

There are some benefits to using both

With the onscreen you can add a menu button whereas with the capacitive buttons you have to Double tap or longpress to access the menu or the recent apps (depending how you configure the menu button)

With the onscreen buttons you can drag the home button to the left to lock at the screen drag up for Google or drag right for camera, this option is not available with the capacitive buttons but you still have the double tap the status bar to lock the screen. Double tap to wake up works in all cases. And you have the extra space obviously with the capacitive buttons.

Some benefits there, each to their own

Yeah first I thought that menu button is ****ed or damaged because it doesn't work with single click, but then realized it's double tap so I reconfigured it:

Single tap = recent apps
Press and hold = menu/options.

Go there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/wishing-invite-soon-t2825090/page320#post55965230

And just ask for invite, I guarantee you will get it within less than an hour.

I got mine yesterday. love it. put a screen proteector on it though and one of the corners isn't sticking properly. really annoying but i'm just gonna have to deal with it. Haven't had much of a chance to mess around with it, but the clear shot setting is pretty cool on the camera.

Whenever thats happened to me with screen protectors Ive just lifted it up, snipped away the damaged area and smoothed it down again, obviously that will leave a corner unprotected but its better than having manky damaged plastic hanging off such a lovely device...

I dont bother with screen protectors anymore anyway. My Jiayu G3 spent 3 years in my pocket and there wasnt a scratch on the screen and the OPO has a newer version of Gorilla glass, I just use an armband for running/hiking/cycling and keep it in my pocket the rest of the time.

Don't forget you have 24h to buy phone when you receive invite.

I was shown one of these the other day and thought it looked great, I'm replacing me S3 soon so guess I'll have to get an invite from somewhere. If the charger shipped is a usb charger can it not just be plugged into a usb port and leave the euro plug aside?

You get:
USB cable. (can use to charge using USB port or USB power plug)
USB to EU charger.
EU to UK adaptor.

Looks like I'm moving back to looking into getting the OPO, after seeing the rumored Nexus 6 prices, along with the actual size.

arleitiss

Tried out timelapse video mode.

Yeah in video settings you set interval. Then press capture video and it will automatically capture photo every specified interval and compile it into one vid.

That's weird, when I posted there I got invite within 30 minutes. Maybe people are at work or something.

irishgeo

Theres people giving them away in the invites thread on this board right now...

Be patient or go begging on the Facebook page, they're really not hard to come by these days.

Harder than you think today! XDA is apparently crawled by BOTs that snap up the codes lickety spit when people post them in the thread.

digitaldr

I know it kind of goes against the whole opo ethos but I picked one up for €5 on adverts. A lot cheaper than eBay where they're going for crazy money. I however gave an invite away on boards yesterday. I got that invite about 10 days after ordering the phone - anyone know if they're likely to send me any more or is it just one per phone?

You get invites from time to time, not just one.

As far as I am aware invite works for both, you get to choose how many GB you want on store page.

Still no luck anywhere. I think you got in just before the rush. Thanks anyway. I'll just keep trying.

Invites don't work for both.No choice but will say on it what type its for.

I dont think OPO are even selling the 16gb now.

When I got invite, default for me was 16gb selected, when I selected 64gb it updated price and thats it.

Before I go looking for an invite, this will work on Three won't it, across all bands.

I gave away an invite here a few days ago and need one myself and no sign of any more from opo. My son currently has a knackered iphone4 and wants an opo - help me convert him to Android before it's too late:D Also my sister-in-law is looking for one as a going away present for her boyfriend who has joined the army. If opo send me any more invites I'll give them away here. Thx

Why do people need invites instead of buying it off Amazon? Is it not the same phone?

daytob

Could be the price difference, could be the fact that with amazon there is no promise it actually is not a copy, could be the fact that you are only dealing with oneplus instead of someone else. customs as well has a factor. its not the same

digitaldr

Very unlikely OnePlus would cover it under their warranty so you would be dependent on the Amazon seller if there was a problem. Also likely that you'd be getting a Chinese version that would be running color os - if you were lucky they might have flashed cyanogenmod properly before shipping. Invites aren't that hard to come by if you hang around the right threads.

digitaldr

Managed to get sorted for invites.

Pre-orders starting 27/10/14

VladToBeHere

I have one, can confirm it's the best phone I've ever owned - even the factory default OS is a pleasure with little to no bloat compared to other installations of Android I've used.

I've just eh, pre-ordered my pre-order :pac:

Would I be better off still trying to get an invite this week? Seems like there might be a bit of a wait on the pre-orders

Thargor

Definitely use the invite if you get one...

uck51js9zml2yt

I lost track of the thread when I got a xiaomi mi3 which my son duly cracked the screen on.

Was the yellow tinge sorted in later phones or is it still an issue.?
Thanks

daytob

no yellow tints and can be fixed easily
