Hello,
I previously owned a Oneplus One. It was a great device despite the bugs, i enjoyed it until i had enough and sold it.
Iv'e had the touch screen problems which required sending it back to the manufacturer for fixing.
After it came back okay, started the mic problems. I decided to sell it before it's value drops any more, and buy instead an LG\Samsung flagship.
After wondering about it i decided that maybe i should buy the Oneplus Two. it seems like a great device, though im afraid it will be great at first, then it will show some major and annoying bugs aswell.
So i wanted to ask - which known bugs\common problems i might occur with the oneplus two? for example i heard for some people the home button+fingerprint sensor stops working.
Thanks in advance for your kind answers

hey everyone.. i posted about a week ago my tytn was for sale.. i threw it up oin ebay if anyones still interested

thanks
why do you sell?
Please allow this question: Why do you sell your TyTn already?
I am about to buy one, but if I read through this forum, all I can see is problems and complaints.
I once had the MDA compact, which was really good. Then I changed to the Vario, which was in some cases not as good as the compact.
Now, that my Vario got stolen, I am looking for the successor, but unfortunately I can not find so many positive posts here.
So if your reason to sell is your disappointment about the device, please share and let me know.
Thanks and regards,
A. Rossband
the vario II is the best PDA Phone I've ever had. I have owned an MDA Compact, vario, and an MDA pro.
I await a firmware upgrade to fix a few video playback issues, and the camera is still wishy washy at best; but as a web browser and as a phone it is simply a pleasure to use. I'm very happy with the battery life too.
I have no issues with this phone that won't be resolved with future updates, and even these don't particularly bother me now.
I truly believe that this is the best HTC phone available at the moment.
Hello aro,
I have my TyTN for about a week now and I love it.
Before buying it I also read a lot in the forum and got a bit scared especially about the screen alignment (and some other) problems which IMHO seems to be hardware related issues.
Anyway I still decided to buy the device and take the risk of having it replaced.
I tried most of the available ROMs and ended up with the iMate (JasJam I think) ROM which for me is very fast and stable.
IMHO all the negative reports here are for two reasons:
1. It is a quite new device so some initial problems are unevitable.
2. One of the main purposes of forums like this is to discuss problems so of course it is full of them. I think/hope there are a lot of ppl like me out there very happy with their TyTN but not posting about it on the forum.
So my conlusion is this. If you are willing to take the risk about the hardware issues meaning you may have to get a replacement if you are unlucky (I tried to figure out how common these problems really are - see point 2 - but without satisfying results) and if you don't mind some initial software flaws then go for it.
IMHO it is a great device and well worth the money.
Otherwise wait a couple of months to be on the safe side.
I hope this helps you in your decision process and maybe a few other happy TyTN users like myself can post here, too
Kind regards,
Uli
P.S. I had a Magician before and although I was very satisfied with it, it is nothing compared with the TyTN
Yes, totally agree with hukoeth... another happy Hermes user here!
I am in a total dilemma now guys and just looking for a quick bit of advice...
I have mentioned on other threads about my concerns with a couple of features on the phone. (Camera, messages not sending, constant internet connection etc) and although maybe minor complaints they are causing me to seriously think about sending it back tomorrow. If I do I may just plump for the cheaper hero on a shorter contract and play the waiting game.
Do you think it is worth hanging on to this device in the hope that most of these issues will be resolved? When do you think the first fixes will come out?
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a fantastic device but these minor issues are really getting to me now.
I am going for some rest and looking to make my decision with a clear head tomorrow morning but any thoughts advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers folks

I don't believe the message problem happens on T-Mobile......at least I've not had a single unsent message, also my internet has been completely glitch free. I haven't had a single connection issue with IM, or through Opera.
The camera problem is a software issue, probably related to the flash. Similar problems have occured in early Nokia firmwares.
I'm still not 100 percent happy with the HD2, but then I'm used to the Apptastic iPhone and its plethora of social networking apps. In time HTC will fix the bugs in the device. My only other concern is that Windows Marketplace picks up from the complete pile of s**t that it is at the moment and starts to properly compete with Android and Apple instead of just ripping people off with a paltry array of ho-hum apps.
Just an FYI, HTC have confirmed that the fault with the camera is hardware related, and not software related and the only way of remedying this is to send the device back for replacement/repair.

I'll start by saying I really DO like this phone and don't wish to return it. I am coming from a BB 8320 which I also was a big fan of. This being my first wm/htc phone I have no idea how these two companies support their platforms. The phone obviously has some pretty bad lag/freezing issues as well as some weird glitches where the screen will shift and be half black. Now since its a brand new device in the market I'm totally willing to work with that as most new technology has some kinks to be worked out. I have even been looking into flashing a custom rom as I hear this will help. All this being considered I was hoping you all could perhaps tell me what to expect as far as a possible fix. Do you think this is something htc is working on fixing, or do you think I'm out of luck and should just get used to it? My phone is fully stock and has no additional progs/tweaks on it. I remember when I first got my BB that it had some problems with locking up while web browsing and eventually this was addressed and fixed by an update from BB, do you see a similar thing happening here? Thanks

To be completely honest I have never relied on the actually manufacturer to fix my problems... because even as you said that they eventually do... how long did you wait to do so.
I own a blackberry, windows phones galore (mostly HTC)... and both I have learned to fix on my own / use the forums to fix my problems. Blackberry 9700 for example.. greatest blackberry alive.. yes... but people hate the phone unless i fix /tweak it like i have mine because the OS the came in the phone with TMO sucked... but uploaded a unofficial rom and all better...
back to windows since thats the topic... every windows phone i have had has lasted longer than it normally would have (i based this on my patience with lag, lack of memory, and frequent crashing over time) because I learned how to flash "cooked" roms on to the phone.
These developers don't make the perfect rom... no one every will.. because not even the manufacturers can and they know the phone not only software wise but hardware better than any of us... BUT:
These developers make the best rom you will ever use compared to an "official" rom.
Will it fix your issue.. no idea... i get half a black screen some times on my cooked roms.. but it has happen once in a week... i will wait to see if it keeps it up. But the speed is better, the cooked in applications are better, and the support if there ARE problems is 10 folds over manufacturer support.
All my opinions are based on NRG's rom, using Mar 30th with cookie home tab (which once u use cookie home tab, you won't look back to stock home tab lol) He made my Touch Pro2 a better experience so I trust him with my HD2
I have roughly 24 hours to decide if I want to return this phone. I realize it's still a bit early, but I haven't seen much in the way of custom Rom development aside from an unofficial lineage build (which I have not tried because of the twrp issues) I bought this in hopes it would attract developers and become much like what the nexus phones used to be. I was specifically told by an essential representative that this phone was "yours to root and customize". That's all fine and dandy if I was a developer, but unfortunately that isn't the case. It also lacks software features, which I expected, but figured custom roms would solve that. I love the build quality, I'm ok with the camera quality, and the price was definitely acceptable. Today I experienced missed calls that never got through to me. Not sure if that's a Verizon issue or what. So I guess I'm looking for some quick input from you guys. Do you think development will take off? I'm not counting on essential for that. And also, has anyone experienced calls or texts not coming through? Aaaaaaand GO! ?

It is, there is RR, Uber, LOS, XenonHD all in testing phases
That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for the quick reply
never had issues with missed calls or texts (ATT here). If you purchased this recently at the discounted price (400-500), then I don't think you'll find something this aesthetically nice and with these features. And as Gimme stated, rom development is well on its way, especially with the sales over the last month there will be more support both from devs and 3rd market accessory suppliers (crossing my fingers).
YMMV, I never had a phone this nice before.
RR rom running perfect?
Where can I find these roms? The rom development section only has lineage
I don't know if I am just suffering from correlation is not causation but I feel like the memory usage of the Pie rom was what just caused my phone to boot loop and then green screen. I just decided to use a Pie rom last week and despite seeing information in the threads saying there were issues with memory usage and other stuff I thought I would dive in. I loved the rom, it was working perfectly for 2 days and I enjoyed it. Then all of a sudden it just started having wifi disconnect issues, crackling speakers and finally one time when I was changing the volume on the phone it just BAM... restarted and got stuck at the google screen. I wasn't able to get back into recovery so I tried reflashing that using the BLOD method. That worked long enough to get a stock rom on the phone. I thought maybe I could just use my device like that but now it started going into a green screen and it wouldn't even power up. It did lead me to find information about getting my phone replaced. I think thats the only positive to come out of this for me. Obviously YMMV and flash at your own risk... but in 10 years of flashing I have never had an experience like this. Even with WM devices. I have kept an eye on both the Pie threads in Android Development and I see similar comments to my experience... I just suggest caution to people like me... who might only know what you are doing based on guides.
TLDR - I tried both the pie roms that were available. I decided on the PixelPie Rom. My phone started bootlooping withing 2 days. I think its the maxed memory usage.
Update: I just got an email that LG has fixed the board and they are mailing my phone back. I was afraid they were going to turn me down for one reason or another. I should get the phone in 2 days. I did personally speak with an LG rep over the phone about it since they were mailing me the same phone back. She said she would not be able to opt for me to receive a new phone because that is always based off the determination of the person repairing the phone. She said that if I ever have any more issues with the phone it will be covered by warranty since I am in the system. I would just have to mail the phone in and go through the same annoyance.
LG was nice enough to fix my phone... They also repaired the cracked screen free of charge. I am happy... I am sticking with stock. lol
As I know, there's a way to incrase your RAM sending motherboard to China (or just buying new from Ali) to install up to 4Gb. Can't precisely tell the prise, but something around $100. In some cases that can be a nice way to give your phone the second life.

Yeah, I paid around $100 for mine like a half year ago. Works very smoothly with Pie.
My phone started having more issues after the warranty time started running out. The screen isn't working right, the phone is freezing up all the time, its also giving me memory errors. luckily this happened within the 90 days of extended warranty they gave me. Will they ever just completely replace my phone? sigh... heh
