Hi,
I'm considering switching from my HTC ONE M8 to a OnePlus. Has anyone made this switch? If so are you happy with your decision? Do you prefer the OnePlus over the M8 after using it for a while?
Thanks in advance.
My opinion won't be popular here, but I made the opposite switch (OnePlus One to One M8) and I am much happier with the One M8. I don't think it's a good idea to switch from any current flagship to the OnePlus One. At the very best, it's a sidegrade. If you had a One M7 a better argument could be made for trying the OnePlus One.
Yeah, If I'm honest The M8 is the best phone I've ever owned. My previous phone was a G3 and a Nexus 5 before that. I just like a change now and then. Plus the camera is poor on my M8. I realize HTC are said to be announcing another M8 tomorrow with a better camera, but I refuse to buy the new M8 just because HTC have decided to do what they should have done in the first place - Upgrade the camera.
Thank you for your reply.
I've switched to the OnePlus one from the M8. Better camera, stable CM as stock, larger screen, no on screen nav bar.

Yeah it's the screen size and camera that are making me seriously consider it.
I think I'm just going to wait for the Nexus 6.
Earlier this summer I had wanted to upgrade to the One from my Nexus 4, but was put off by the whole invite thing. So I bought a Find 7a, but returned it because of the yellow tint problem and got an M8. A month later I get this system invite out of the blue and figured I should jump on it and decide later which one I preferred. So I'm kinda in the same boat. Don't have my hands on the One yet, so the deciding factor may be (again) the yellow tint factor. I love the M8, although the camera sucks, but the price point of the One is hard to ignore.

The camera is bad on the M8, it's hard to appreciate just how bad until you've used it isn't it. I'm not sure if I should go for the OnePlus or hold out and see what the Nexus 6 brings. I do really like my M8 it's just the camera that lets it down. Sense is also great.
Nothing can really beat the OPO for the price. I came from the M7, cameras on the latest HTC flagships have not been that great, but this phone has it all pretty much. You get a great camera, large screen, specs as good as the latest flagships, and cyanongenmod. Then, if you're someone who roots their phones, you can pretty much get the very best out of this phone. I'd totally recommend it.
With the yellow tint issue, I heard the ones made after August don't have it anymore? I'm not sure though, if someone can confirm that would be great. Just giving my 2 cents.

Thanks for the reply. What's the battery life like on the OPO? That yellowing of the screen issue I keep reading about is concerning though, It wouldn't be so bad if you could get the phone replaced quickly, but from what I've read there would be a pretty long wait for a replacement.

Many people shared their experiences with the battery on the OPO on that thread. Check it out. In my case, yesterday I went from like 11am to 10pm down to 20% on 51% screen consuming. I don't use my brightness on auto so that drains battery a little more probably. I use my phone heavily as well so those results were great and it usually is like that. ROM I use is Vanir with franco kernel.

Just for reference, on my first full day with the phone I got 5 hours screen on time over 24 hours on 4G/LTE, screen brightness 70%
WIFI I got 7 hours 11 minutes over 1 day 10 hours with auto brightness.
For comparison, my M7 got 3 hours SOT on LTE and 4 hours on WIFI
I have both and for build quality, hands down the M8 but there's something missing in it and I can't pinpoint it (no its not the camera).
The 1+ doesn't really get me excited by using it. Maybe cause I'm not really a fan of Cynogen. It doesn't scream premium or even command a second look!
I miss my Nexus 5 to be honest!
Simple yet elegant and faster on stock KitKat than the M8 is on GPE or Sense and more exciting to use than the 1+....
HTC One M8
i had m8 and switch to the oneplus one. things i like about oneplus one ,great camera with 4k video recording,great battery life about 1 more hr screen time than m8 ,speakers are loud and sound great,not like the m8 but sound pretty good, that 5.5 inch display is great,feel on hand ,cm11s with themes that you can make it look like m8 if u want.
now the great things about the m8 are Speakers , camera shutter speed is pretty fast to take pics ,many roms ,screen .
I was thinking about either the M8,Nexus X, or OnePlus One. I had an M7 at the time and I loved the phone, I had it running at 2.1Ghz, was getting great battery life and loved the build quality. This all lead me to heavily look into the M8 but I saw that the camera wasn't really upgraded if at all. Looking at the trend of Nexus devices pretty much none of the devices have had great battery life, and had average cameras.
What lead me to the OnePlus was the availability of getting it now vs the headache launch of the Nexus X, good enough screen (wanted bigger than my M7), good camera, great battery life, and the abundance of AOSP ROM's with some solid developers backing this phone up. So far I've had it less than a week and the screen size feels fantastic. I will probably never use a phone < 5.5 inches again. I can also use any app I want and not worry too much about battery life because of how good the battery life is. I'm using Mahdi/Franco atm and it feels great. While the speed is not a HUGE upgrade from my m7, it's able to multitask much better and handle a load of processes without flinching, while with the M7 you could feel the weight of processes running in the background. I also have no yellow banding, and no real touch screen issues that I've heard some people complain about.
i did this. switched from One M8 to OPO last week. i love both devices, but i like the screen size on the OPO better
that said, anyone interested in an M8? i have one up on swappa
M8 better device. I have both
they are both awesome, it depends on personal choice, and price XD
The one concern I have with the OPO is if I ever needed a replacement they just don't seem to have any ready so it would possibly be a long wait.
Just wanted to see how much people like their G4! I personally love mine and think its the best phone I've ever had so far.
I believe you need to be on computer browser to vote.
BTW, no root and twrp for the G4 H811 is driving me nuts, so this poll will keep me temporarily sane!

9 for me. Love it.
I put 9 I guess based on the descriptions it's between a 9 and 10 for me, there are some small things that need to be improved like the missing taps on the touchscreen, terrible top pull down menu-everytime i scroll across I find myself accidentally turning off or on something I didn't want to, screen brightness at max level is a little underwhelming ...etc but nothing really deal breaking for me. Overall I'm satisfied with battery life.
I would not return this phone for anything else out there at the moment-that pretty much sums it up

Some of those thing could probaby be fixed with an update or custom rom.
My deal breaker was wireless charging. But now that I installed and modded a Chinese wireless sticker, that put the icing on the cake for me. Look for that thread if u want one.

At an 8. Phone heats up kinda quick in my opinion. And i thought the battery would last alittle longer that it does
10 for me. Coming from a LG G3—>Note 4->Note 4 Edge->Nexus 6 to this phone. Im just waiting for the ordered skinomi glass screen protector and verus verge gold case. I got the gold plastic back version of the phone. Also waiting for Supershieldz glass protector， spigen carbon fiber case， i-blason prime case，and UAG ash case w/glass screen protector.
I'm an Lg loyalist in all my electronics. I loved the G2 and had none of the problems others had on the G3.. Until Tmo effed up lollipop, It was the best for me. I love the G4, but I honestly expected more, especially from the battery. Overall I am still happy with it and like the look, shape and feel better than the 3, but the G3 just ran better for me. I do love having smart lock and the other additions. I hate that they removed smart screen and Tmo again left off the user accounts though. I get better signal than my other phones so that's a plus. Who knows maybe this replacements battery will be better and I'll be happy, I have never been a custom rom kinda guy. I like the Lg stock experience and really just do a few simple mods and tweaks to fine tune it.

Ehh not sure maybe 5. Coming from s3,and note 2, 3, 4. Maybe my hopez were a little high. Becore samsung i was huge htc guy. I was hoping to gdt away from sammy because i dont want anything that looks like and iphone. But my battery is terrible and i miss having a physical home button because when im in the camera app. I always seem to end going home. These may just be gripes i have. I really love the leather back and the bomb photos they have. Something is missing from my note4. I cant put my finger on it but i have two more weeks to figure out was it is

I've been around the flagship block that last few years: Note 3, G3, 1+, note 4, Nexus 6 and now G4. I've been rather schizophrenic about it, the missed taps and studdering are my complaints, but I's sure a custom ROM will readily nix these, so I'm staying with the G4 to see what the note 5 will look like.
Rated it at 9....pretty damned spiffy.
given the criteria, I gave it a 10, I've had a tilt 2, LG T501, Amaze 4g, G2, G3 and now the G4 as well as the following work phones droid maxx, some other droid with a keyboard and LG gs4 and HTC one Mini. The LG G4 is better than all that have come before and I do love it.
Compared to the G3, better contrast/colors, camera, volume, battery life, BT audio in my car. If I had one complaint is that I don't care for the metallic boarder, it will eventually chip and look ugly for those that go without a case. while it's no game changer, it's a great evolution of the platform. now if it had the battery life of the G2 then I would give a 10+.
8.5
9.5 so i went with 9. Size is great and reception is phenomenal with lte going fast and bluetooth connection taking little time to connect. Could list positives for days.
Gripes:
#1 Auto brightness - indoors its too light in good artificial light and darkness. Makes viewing angles bad. Hopefully they can update it to be brighter. Outdoors is great.
#2 Concept software unpolished. There should be more smart options (work settings maybe or other setting options). Same goes with dual screen mode.. Limited apps.
#3 G4 bootloader struggle... I plan on having this a while but it sounds like a xda bounty mission.

2. I'll most likely return it. My touchscreen misses taps (especially during knock code input), has issues charging, and isn't rooted (yet). I have the 810. I came from a note 3 which is a beast of a phone and I can't justify paying for this phone when the note is better in many areas. I'll miss the G4 camera, though.

9 For me as well. I love this phone. The only improvement could be the battery life for on screen time along with the restoration of functions removed by VZW. Aside from that, it's a great phone and personally I'm glad I had chosen it over the S6/S6 Edge.
Wow, using it over a week now and loving this phone even more....
Long stretch from my Galaxy S5, why didn't this phone come before I bought my S5 LOL
No battery issues here, getting more out of this phone then my S5 and better after the last OTA update. For anyone who's having battery issues, there are several features to disable to get the most out of your battery, do a search on google, there's a ton of people who's increased battery life by taking these steps.
As for the bloatware, I usually root my phone but I don't see the reason too with this one even with all the bloatware, most you can disable. The PC Link is a godsend, wow, every phone should have this feature. Speed wise, I've got mine on Balance mode and it's lightning speed, you can go all out and draw a bit more speed by using the Performance mode but you'll sacrifice some battery life, I didn't notice a whole lot of battery drain in that mode, may go back just to get that extra speed.
The only real gripe I have with this phone is the ability to sync effectively with Outlook, I keep my contacts and schedule on Outlook and with the S5 Samsung Kies was a nice free option to do so. Wish ASUS had a similar app to sync Outlook. The best way I found so far to do this is SyncDroid, worth the $4 to get my contacts synced alone. Calendar I just use Google Calendar Sync seems to do the job. But still prefer to stick with one PC app that does it altogether. If anyone out there found a better (Free) option then SyncDroid, please let me know. I won't use Outlook.com, I find it a pain and somewhat glitchy. Outlook is a pretty widely used app and I think this should be mandatory for all Android phones, this to me would make Android the ultimate mobile device. I paranoid about syncing my entire contact list and calendar via online/cloud etc. I prefer to do it locally with my pc.
This truly is an amazing product for the price, screen is not as bright as my S5 SuperAmoled but I'll take the performance, size, memory over screen hands down, big deal, it's a bit hard to see under sunlight but honestly, I don't use it under direct sunlight that much to ditch the phone. Asus has made excellent effort to keep OTA's coming, which is more then what I can say for Samsung phones. I don't think this phone is going away anytime soon, the only store that sells this phone in our city can't keep this thing in stock, they are constantly sold out, that's a good thing, if it sells that well, Asus will continue to support this phone. The hardware in the phone has great potential for future improvements, Android OS updates will just keep making it better.
Let's just hope the built in battery (which is my other gripe) will last. I hate built in batteries, gives me Iphone jitters I hope the battery is easily replaceable. But Samsung's new flagship has also gone this route. I saw the Zenfone 2 takedown and it seems relative straight forward so battery replacement is doable, would be nice to see companies start making 4000mAh or 5000mAh batteries for this phone
For all who are having intermittent issues and giving up, just be a little patient, this is a brand new phone, there will always be issues, happens to flagship phones, Asus is doing very well getting OTA's to us to fix these problems and I'm confident there will be more to come, growing pains. And please, don't knock this phone because it's not up to par with your Iphone 6 or S6 or phones that are twice/three times the price, it's like giving a Honda Civic a bad review because it doesn't compare to your Audi or Mercedes, how much did your Mercedes cost compared to your Civic, come on, let's be realistic.
Good luck with your new ZF2!
The problem is large amount of zen2 having defective battery. It causes high battery drain or randomly shutdown issue. I also have my battery replaced from service center. Otherwise, this fone perform very well with its price
Sorry I didn't read whole post...I just want to know how much SOT are you getting?

I haven't really measured using the battery usage. I go by normal use through out the day comparing it with my S5, I'll go through a day running my typical apps, texting, surfing and emailing and the odd calls. I'll end up with about 60-70% battery life by about 9 pm from about 8 am, that's when I sit down and plug it in to charge, I consider pretty good considering I was getting about 30-40% with my Galaxy S5 using it the same way. Not sure if that helps.

It's a taiwan version, i had issue with it after 2 weeks of using. I also see people report error from other versions too in zentalk
I've used mine for a bit over a day and I'm impressed. Performance is great, build quality seems great too. I've read some reviews that state the phone feels cheap, but to me it feels and looks better than Samsung S4 or S5.
I have no problem reaching the power button on top, it feels easier than pressing the power button on the side of my old 4.7" Blu Life Play phone, as I don't have to change the grip to reach the power button.
Battery life is a concern though. Yesterday I spent the day applying updates, rooting, instalar all my apps and tweaking all config options. The charge did not last me the day. Hopefully today it'll fare better today after all customization and setup is done.

I've been reading a lot of reviews for the ZF2 seems like the CN versions have more problems, I wonder if they got some duds. And also, I've noticed that the ZE551 CN versions have different configurations, maybe that's the problem.
Sorry to bring up an older post, but I see a lot of people loving this phone, and some haters (There's always haters)....I have an iphone 6 now after being on Android for a long time, and I'm about fed up with iOS...All of the things people say about iOS are true...locked down...Boring...Ect... That's a different topic for a different day..
My question is, how is the screen? Lots of people have complained about brightness, or lack there of. Also, camera, is it at least average? I'm looking to go about 300 on a phone and there's a few choices out there, but none seem as powerful as the Zenfone 2 with 4gb of ram, 64gb storage. It seems a little more future proof than the OPO, so I'm thinking of getting it....
Will I be disappointed coming from the Nexus line, then iPhone 6?

I've had mine now about 3 weeks and I think that the phone is great for the price. The camera is OK, certainly not iPhone 6 good, but reasonable, especially when you use alternate camera apps. The screen is fine, but once again, I'm indoors most of the day, so no issue. Max brightness outside is not so great the one or two times I've used it.
I think that the phone is a work in progress and that a lot of the deficiencies that you see people griping about will be addressed with future Android updates. On the plus side, Asus had been sending out updates frequently so they seem committed to making this phone better.

I came from a Nexus 5 and was considering the same two phones as you. Decided to go with the zenfone 2 based on Asus being more reputable and customer friendly from what i read. So far its been great. I did root (which is super easy via one click) and used titanium to freeze all the unwanted apps. Haven't experienced any lag. Camera wont be as good as the Iphone, but definitely better than my nexus 5. I dont game on it because I dont see the point of gaming on a phone, but i did run hearthstone flawlessly. To me, the build quality is nice. comparable to Galaxy s4/5, so im not sure why so many reviews bring it up as a major con. at $300 this phone is awesome. And once Asus pushed out 5.1 it should shine even more, as 5.1 bumps android up to 64bit, and this has a 64bit chipset.
This phone is way better than I expected for $299. I'm coming from an LG G2, and I'm not missing anything. You can spend 3x this much on a phone and you won't end up with much more.
Honestly my biggest nit-pick is the power button placement, but double-tap-to-wake/sleep is far more convenient than any possible hardware switch. Battery life is a touch lower than I'm used to, but QC 2 is really great.

I only wish there were the option to dial down the resolution whenever possible, or some other gimmick, in order to extend battery life. Everything else is peachy.

For me it's the best phone I've ever seen.
The quality is a lot better than the one of the G5 and the manual video mode is [emoji108] .
But it's a pity, that not all features are avaible in every country.
And yes, the performance is very good, although it's a QSD 21.
I hope I was able to help you! (Sorry for my bad English.)

Yes, that's what I meant. My H870 has no Quad-dac, no Inductive charging and "only" 32 GB ROM.
I wished the screen would have been little wider and I am trying to get used to this resolution, heat is another issue especially when I play those mind games for sometime it gets hot which worries me a little, I wished lg would have given an option to remove bloatware both from att and lg to save some space, overall when I compare it to the g2 that I have used the last time for android its not a huge change for me except the larger screen which doesn't look like it.
Get it. Best quality phone I've owned in a long time. No chronic issues at all. There are few issues here and there but none compared to most other phones.

I was not that impressed with the G6 and sold it and am acually happier with my Lenovo P2 when using Android (albeit the camera totally sucks in comparison). 18:9 just doesn't do it for me as the screen feels like a 5,2" screen. Too narrow. Camera is good but image quality is bad when zooming in. This leaves little room for post processing when wanted. The UI stutters a fair bit and it does not feel very smooth. Definately not as smooth as my P2. The plastic back makes the phone feel cheap. Does not feel like glas. It is plastic?
Anywho I'm happier with my V10 and it will get just as awesome when it gets Nougat. Or even more awesome I would like to say.

No experience with the P2 by Lenovo, but also have a V10 and that is a good phone, too. The G6 is almost all glass, except for thin bezel and frame. Screen ratio is certainly personal preference, but when I look at other phones with the standard bezel, I really appreciate the nearly bezel free design. They just look cheap now! It also seems different variants have different oddities. My Tmo version has great, superb even, battery life and is very smooth. I think carrier software and poorly designed apps account for the lag.

Very satisfied.
Camera (s) performance is outstanding and the device is quite elegant. For the price, nothing comes close.
Life's Great!
Mine G6 was superb until 2 days ago when it died (3 weeks after purchase!). It is going to LG for repair today. I'm furious!!!

What happened to the phone?
What happened?
1. Put it in the pocket (more than 50% of battery at time)
2. Few minutes later it was off
3. Tried to reset it with keys, plugged in charger - nothing
4. Left it overnight and in the morning after plugging in charger it said battery is 0% and started to charge (yeah!)
5. Phone started fine, everything was working but ~1h later while charging it died again
6. Left it - entire day and night, tried today again and nothing....
Stock software, no new application, no idea...
For me, perfect one
I have 3hr 30 min 50% battery left SOT
Looks like I'll hit 6hrs sot.
Sweet jebus what a beauty ...
I'm going to change it for camera quality.
Wide camera is cool, white balance and colors are perfect, but when zoom in too many details are losts. Also with low light my 5X was far better.
Before buy I recommend to look at some photo samples (I didn't!), I'm not a big photo expert but seems that LG has a particolar way to elaborate images (with pro and cons).
Figured I'd start a thread for every one keeping their phone since there's a few about selling them. Share your thoughts.
I love this dang thing!!
I originally bought it even tho my M10 wasn't paid off figuring how much better could it be? Well the 10 is in a drawer.
Lots of storage over my 10. I can now store my flac files on the internal instead of having to get an SD card.

The same for me, I'm past my first year with the HTC 10 and still have til next May to pay it off lol. Although I still use my HTC 10 for when I am flashing or updating a ROM, I have to have a phone at all times for work. Have you rooted it yet?
This is a good phone but.. There's not much standing for it, good camera but slow in comparison to other phones, speakers are a bit better than on the s8 but they're not that special, display is good but not up there with the best and the minimum brightness is still bright for dark environments, edge sense is a gimmick, the water proofing on this phone isnt that good and ive seen people having problems with their phone due to water damage and basically i wouldn't trust to put this phone in water on purpose and i treat it as a non waterproof phone, the battery is pretty good but not that great for me, The bezels are big, there's no option to lower the brightness in camera app and no option to turn off capacitive key light, htc sense is ok but it has bloatware that you cant install and no useful features.. Nothing special aboit it and i guess the only thing good about it is that its close to stock android and the performance on it is great. Basically this is a good phone but the pixel xl 2 will have better camera, performance, battery, maybe speakers too, design and display, software and more support. Maybe also better waterproofing

Looks like you like to hang with other Samsung junkies and parrot everything they say. You all are so worried we might have a better phone that you always have to come here to snoop and see whats going on, taking notes for all the talking points against HTC. My capacitive keys lights are off. What is this bloat you speak of? HTC allows us to disable and hide any bloat if there is any. Bezels are not even noticeable when using this beauty and at least our fingerprint scanner is in the right spot and has been proven to be much more reliable. Edge Sense is by no means a gimmick, I think we are well past that talking point. Any reasonable person knows not to intentionally drown your phone, and if you do you are supposed to dry it first before using. HTC specifically states this. The battery has already shown to beat the competition. The mics beat all of the competition, 3d audio recording. There really isn't much to complain about this phone some people just can't stand that something might be better than their beloved, super almighty Samsung giant. It's like it's their mission to make sure no one wants to experience it. "LOOK AWAY! LOOK AWAY!" LMAO

Well i know that you can disable them but you have to root your u11 first and i don't want to do that

Yeah I didn't want to either with this beast. It really isn't needed but there are a few things that make it worth it and the main thing that always draws me back to HTC, the freedom of having an unlocked bootloader. Just a few minor things I enjoy like all black theme and apps that require root like the new edge sense plus. To say there isn't anything special about the U11 is just not true. There isn't much you can't do with it especially after the next update.

Did u even read the title of the thread?
Reasons why I'm keeping
1. Solar Red looks AWESOME.
2. Smooth smooth smooth. No stutter unlike my previous s8+ exynos that stutters quite often after 2 weeks of use
3. Edge sense is not a gimmick. It's useful especially after using the edges sense plus app (waiting for the huge official update promised tho)
4. Camera is awesome. Id rather have one lens phone that excels in image quality than a dual camera phone that is only mediocre or even good
5. Battery life is good enough for me. Dual sim, all day mobile data 4g, 6+ screen on time, 20 hours of total standby time. What I did was disable all bloat especially news republic.
6. Did I say solar Red is AWESOME?
7. That speaker.. Really love watching videos on it, good enough for listening music when I don't have my bt speaker around. The included noise canceling earphone is also very very very good. Haven't been using many bundled earphones for previous phones. But this one is a keeper.
8. Never had any problems with waterproofing. Then again I will never believe in waterproofing on a phone since I had incidents with z1 compact, Z3 compact, s5.
9. Fingerprint sensor is EXCELLENT. I have greasy fingers which usually problematic when using fp sensors. Had problems with p10+, s8+, Pixel xl, xzp. 99% of the time it works with this phone.
10. The fact that overall this phone bests everything on the market. I don't have premonitions on phones that comes next. But as things stand this phone is the best bet.

I'll sure drink to this list. The phone is a real pleasure to use and fiddle with.
I've been unlocked and rooted the phone, pretty much I'll stick with it for some periods. That's no perfect phone on Earth when you switched to others you'll find some other problems eventually.
What I don't like is the camera noise though the details is great but it got too much really and do need some more denoise. The size is a bit big for 5.5" too.

That's for you to decide, but here's my honest opinion. If i was supposed to use any Samsung phone, it would be the Note 8, and that's because of the 6gb of RAM, along with the refinements that are included in Samsun's 7.1 rom. The Note is DEFINITELY more fun that the U11, and that's coming from a diehard HTC lover.
However...I still don't feel that Samsung touches HTC when it comes to optimization and performance over time. I highly anticipate that the U11 will be pushing through the bits and bytes much more gracefully than the Note 1yr from now. Samsung ages horribly, and I'm talking from experience. My wife always gets the equivalent Samsung device when I get my new HTC...EVO vs Epic 4g, EVO LTE vs S3, M8 vs S5, S7 and S7 (got it with a BOGO...regrets....), and U11 vs S8. My phone always comes out on top for a longer period of time. So, I'm not simply blowing hot air when I say that HTC has much more consistent performance than Samsung.
Well, Samsungs are consistently inconsistent with performance...so my statement isn't completely accurate.
