Should i buy oneplus one ?

Hello,
i have a Samsung S3 right now with CM11 nightly. It is pretty good and stable. Drivers are not perfect. Expecially camera drivers.
I would like to buy a new device. I have waited for N6 and unfortunally it is too big, too thick e too expensive. So I am thinking to buy a Oneplus One.
I have read around about touchscreen issue. It is fixed ? Drivers in Cyanogen are stable ?
I want a stable phone for daily use. It is ok to test new rom o new kernel sometimes, but i need a stable phone to work with.
What you think ? Should i buy one ?
Thank you !

I have the OPO and its been over 2 month i'm using it!The phone is great and so are the drivers!No touchscreen issues for me!I use multi rom to test new rooms!I think you should go with the oneplus!

I think before making a new thread for a question thats been asked a million times before and an answer that only you can answer you should search for what others have said. Here are only a few I found real quick that can help you out. Lets be honest as well you are asking about rooting your phone and will it be stable. You can read up on any rom you like and find out if its stable but honestly there all based off of cm which is quite stable at this moment. If you are worried stay stock.
First link stock rooted where I would go to ask or rather read up to see just how stable the stock rom is... At least its a starting point. My bad if you think I am being an ass but your question is slightly subjective and all your answers are out there for you. Again my bad

OnePlus One fits a niche crowd, people who like to tinker with their devices and want a true powerhouse to take advantage of. There is also a subset of users that would want a pure-ish Android experience with a customizable interface minus the fluff that comes with a skinned interface like TouchWiz or Sense.
As it stands, I like CyanogenMod without any further tweaks. The phone runs well and doesn't give me many issues to worry about. (Note: no phone is perfect)

If you need mhl, hell no. Otherwise it's the best phone out right now...

If you haven't got a phone yet. Then just wait and see how the nexus 6 going to be, then make a decision

Yes though it depends on budget as well I guess. Dollar for dollar I think the OnePlus is still a better buy, however if it's within budget the nexus 6 is clearly the better phone overall.
Mmm bacon

Thnk you all for reply.
I have readed a lot about OPO. I dont like N6, it is big, fat, heavy and expencive. I prefere a 5.5 inc display.
The main problem about OPO are the yellow band and touchscreen issue, that are not resolved with 38R.
I will wait till that problems will be resolved, later i will buy one.
Thank you all !

Its definitely the best smartphone for its price range right now. I have been using it over two month now and i did not have any issue.
Before i bought it, i too was worried about the yellow band problem. But until now I never get the yellow band or touch screen problem.
OnePlus One is perfectly fine and great performance. After i got this phone i immediately try antutu benchmark and suprised that it got the first ranking. That is something to brag to your friends.
As for the rom, CM11S is really stable for daily use and i did not have any problems with it. Great multitasking, smooth gaming, nice camera performance, great speaker quality and great battery life. Plus i heard that they are working to release Android L update for OPO. Cant wait for that. Even if you still want custom rom, most of them that i tried are stable for daily use.

It also depend on how long you're going to keep this phone also. I get at lease 2 phones a year. I have the oneplus one and it always seem like I go back to the Note 3.... But the nexus 6 will be a phone you can keep for another year

Ok if you have read then you also know that not everyone has these issues and the touchscreen issue was software related and those on 38r saying they still have an issue could be user error or faulty devices. Now lets be honest 1+ has sold quite a few devices and I know of at least half a dozen people with them. With that being said I am the only one with yellow banding and its barely noticeable and since the update no one has the touchscreen issue.
Why do so many allow the voices of the few decide for them. At the end of the day it is your decision and if you have done your research then YOU are making the best choice for you....

I've had the s3 and was running cm11 with oneplus mods on it and I can say it doesn't compare.
This phone is ridiculous, it amazingly fast and I have had no problems.
I ordered mine on Saturday and it came yesterday so I've only had a day with it so far but I'm so impressed, would recommend to anyone.

I had a G3, Note3, Z2 and this OPO It's the most incredible smartphone. And the feature that we can unlock bootloader and not lose the warranty is the best!

The G3 was the 16Gb (2GB ram) or 32GB (3GB ram) version?
I'm thinking of buying the oneplus 64GB or the G3 32GB, but i really can't choose which one...

Ive got the 64gb sandstone black, had it for 3 weeks now, worth every penny. At this point the company is well situated and running at full speed, buy with confidence and you will not be disappointed.

You should buy and have a try yourself. For me, this phone is better than expected.

Phone is amazing, period. Get it if you can

For sure. I've been pleased with the phone. The size is nice for me even with my small hands, the battery stands on its own, its plenty fast, many ROMs and kernels to enjoy and for the price what more can you ask for.

This phone should of been the new Nexus 6. Tons of development here
SlimKat or SlimPop

As someone who was in love with my previous phone, nexus 5. The OnePlus is the best phone at market price-wise. If it was priced in the same range as N5 or N6, I would definitely chose a N phone. Software-wise it is kinda buggy (both cm11 and cm11s) and hardware-wise (touchscreen and yellow screen)
I would wait until n6, and then make a choice, because the n6 isn't that much bigger then the OnePlusOne, but damn expensive.
I think I will sell my OnePlusOne when the n6 hit the market, cause I really miss the wireless charging.

Wait for the Axon 7 or jump on the 128gb Nexus 6p that ends tomorrow?

Oh man!! Decisions, decisions!
NewEgg has the 128gb 6P listed at $500 on their ebay for 2 days only (ends tomorrow).
I'm trying to decide if I want to go with guaranteed software updates for the next few years, or some hardware that I've been waiting for, for several years (the good speakers), but not quite the software development the Nexus will receive (from Google and custom ROM bakers).
Ultimately, I'm going to do what I want... Just curious what the masses think?:fingers-crossed:

Axon 7..... I was tempted as well, but the Axon 7 is the only device in years that has checked off all the boxes on my list of things I wanted in a device.
Also, I think this device will have decent Dev support. Even the OnePlus 2 I just sold had decent support and it was a very hated upon device. Besides, with it being a Google Daydream VR capable device; they're going to have to update it to N as soon as possible for that functionality.

I was looking at a CNET video on YouTube and it said that the phone will run the ZTE operating system and it can be changed to run a pure stock Android system.

That's what the reps are pretty much saying on the ZTE forums. Supposedly their skin is light, and kinda close to stock; but you can also either turn the skin off or run a different build. The last part hasn't been cleared up as to how just yet? It's good to see they're listening though.

Axon 7 all the way!

I have been following the Axon 7 but am worried about it being locked down tight like their previous devices. I haven't read anything about this trend being reversed with the 7. With secureboot enabled with the SD820 if they don't allow us to unlock the bootloader their will be no Dev support as is the case with the US S7. I sold my N6P and miss it to the point where I'm almost ready to buy another. I've decided to wait just a bit to see what ZTE gives us but won't buy it unless it's unlockable.

Well, one thing is carriers are involved with the US S7 variants. I'm following it as well to see what happens.

That's a tough one... Android updates Vs better specs and what promises to be really good audio (both from the speakers and headphone jack).
I carry two phones ( work and personal) I have a Nexus 6p 128GB and an LG G5. I think I may replace with G5 with the Axon 7 as I want that superior audio as both the 6P and G5 are inferior to my old Note 4 in that regard.
I guess it depends how important update is to you...
Good luck and Alons-y!

l'm holding out for the Axon 7.... Sold my S7 Edge that I traded my 6P for (because I knew I was going to flip it really quick and the S7 would bring more). So I have $600 sitting in my "new phone fund" (otherwise known as my guitar case) and I'm anxiously awaiting.
The Moto Z with the add-on audio module looks cool, but is fairly bulky with the speaker module on it. If I'm going to go through the steps to snap on a module, I'll just grab my bluetooth speaker....So Axon 7 it is.
If it gets rooted and has a strong development following, software updates won't be an issue. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that.
Geronimo!!!! (although 10 is my favorite)

Way off topic here... But I actually really like Capaldi....Especially this last season. His first season had some very good episodes as well, with "Listen" being one of my favorite "Who" episodes ever.

Nexus 6P vs Pixel XL

Hey guys, how you all doing?
Just wanted to know your opinion. Currently I am a phoneless guy since my Nexus 5 died a few days ago and since I gave up on the ZTE Axon 7 due to the lack of support from ZTE to the mod community. I am really, really, really eager to finally see what Google is up with the new Pixel phones. Some rumors say that it will be a tough phone to root and mod due to the two partitions for seamless updates and the startup check, etc, etc. That is worrying me a bit. But, since I am a bit desperate to get a new phone, the wait is just cruel, unbearable, excruciating! Yesterday I came across the Nexus 6P, the 128GB version to be more specific, at Amazon. Taking the Nexus 5 as reference, I know that I can rely on the support from the mod community to always have new and updated stuff, since we are talking of a phone that was launched just one year ago. SO, what would you do? Buy a consolidated phone that is the Nexus 6P with tons and tons of mods available, or wait for the Pixel XL?
Sorry for the long text!
Regards!

i would wait for the pixel xl especially now as the release draws closer. the nexus 6p is no doubt the best nexus ever made IMO but the pixel may very well be better. about modding, android has went through many changes that appeared as the death of the developer community but the ever so skillful and dedicated devs here at XDA always seem to find a loophole. it may take time, but eventually, root will be achieved!

Huh?
Root on a Pixel or Nexus device?
Unlock the bootloader and flash?
That is the one advantage that has always existed on Google/Nexus devices.
If the bootloader is unlockable, then root is pedestrian at best.

Here is mY 2 cents. I literally know nothing about the new pixel phone as I have no interest in getting it. The only thing I do know that I could suggest is number one HTC is a dying company and I believe that's who makes the phone. It seems to be a love-hate relationship depending on who you talk to but in my opinion they make some of the worst phones available. Number 2 the pixel phone is going to be close to $700 where as the 6p is now selling for under three hundred depending on where you go which is a gigantic difference in price. Again I don't know the specs the ins and the outs of the new pixel phone however a $400 price difference and the name HTC would lead me to say go with the 6p. Remember how well the last HTC Nexus device when? Probably not cuz it was basically a pos that nobody gave a damn about

Well I know I'm loving 6p big time after finally being able to get one a couple of weeks ago. It's the gold 64gb one and wow, what a phone that will be hard to beat. I'm working twelves and the phone makes it through the whole shift with ghostpepper profile applied. Anyway like previous post what a deal and for the price of pixel, what a steal. Good luck and thank you.

indeed, but there was an article on the portal about the changes regarding rooting the pixel based on the new partition scheming due to the seamless updates.

Yes guys, I did it! Got a brand new 128GB for 405 euros. Eagerly waiting!

i know man seems like google is bringing the nexus out of the dev phone spectrum and is targeting it towards the average consumer now with all of this new pixel branding and stuff i don't understand why though as it took them a long time to make the nexus brand popular and now they are ditching it when it's better than it ever was. :/

1.8 rating dude...

I just got a €390 128GB Nexus 6P, new. On ebay from a guy who bought it and had a problem. While he waited for the substitution from Google he bought a different phone and wanted to cash back as soon as possible. I was suspicious but the phone arrived in the box, completely sealed and everything was legit. Sometimes you get lucky (and considering I needed it to substitute my Note 3 who got destroyed in a fall, Spigen case and tempered glass protector notwithstanding... I sort of deserved it).
Pixel XL doesn't convince me. Smaller screen first of all. With screens it's relatively easy to go bigger... but going smaller? Not for me.

Yes, some times you get lucky. I didn't! I started asking questions and out of the blue I received an email from Amazon telling me that the guy canceled the the sell because he didn't have the phone . So I promptly bought a 64GB that is fullfiled by amazon, of course.

Got mine less than a month ago. 390 Euros .. the 64Gb version all bran new.
I don't think it's worth paying 700$ for the Pixel XL for the 32Gb version. Didn't see anything worth wasting money on. No major hardware changes that will make that a good deal.

I love this phone!

I have been using the Nexus 6 for a couple of days now and I absolutely love this device. It's the only phone I like that is out now, it's incredible to me how ****ty the phone market is atm. I haven't been that excited to use a device since the Note 7 came out. I got the Nexus 6 used, and now I am even gonna get a brand new one. I could probably rock it for another year until they kill the security patches (so I've heard)
I can't believe I slept on this phone for sooooooo long!!! And to think of all the **** I was using in between, Sony, LG, HTC a few Sammys etc.
I wish the Pixel would've been more similar to the Nexus line. I just realized the potential this line had. Tragic....
Anyone of you totally enamored with this phone as well? Any accessories you can recommend? Any tips and tricks?

In case you want root access etc.
I use a prerooted lite stock rom.

Cool. I'll definitely check that out!

Ordered Refurb Nexus 6's for the Mrs & I. IMO the best alternative to the Note 7 until something better comes out from Samsung.

Yes the pixel should have been dual speaker and wireless charging standard, especially with those huge bezels. I have no idea when Google will get there head out of there arsesw

I've had my Nexus 6 for almost a year and I absolutely love it also. I would recommend a nice case and a screen protector. Look around for what works for you because at one point I ended up buying around 10 cases and I finally settled on one specific case , https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Google-Unicorn-Premium-Motorola/dp/B00OHFGUDU/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1477423081&sr=1-4&keywords=nexus+6+case
Its a nice case with good grips on the side. Not badly priced and will take quite a few drops/falls. Skinomi is a good option for a screen protector. I definitely agree with what you previously said. I went with the 64gb version as previously with my Nexus 5 I had the 32gb option and I found I was using most if not at least half of the 32gb at any given time. But regardless of what storage option you chose this is a solid device overall

I am still in love with this phone. I've had it for 2 years now and have no desire to upgrade. Its a pleasure to use. Loud a** speakers , great battery life & it's fluidity. Add it's open nature, this phone is a beast.

What is meant by "I could probably rock it for another year until they kill the security patches"? I'm wanting to buy a Nexus 6, but not if I can only use it for a year.

You can still use the phone for however long you wish Google just stops providing further security updates. 2 years guaranteed whatever happens after that is a plus, Oct 14 is when Nexus 6 was released

G4 -> 6P

Hi everyone. Do you recommend to pass from an LG G4 to a Nexus 6P? Do you think that 6P is still a good smartphone in 2017? Thanks in advance.

Personally I would hold off. Seems there has been some quality issues with the Nexus 6p. Have a look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/boot-loop-death-nexus-6p-t3533528
Even the Nexus 5x has a bootloop of death issue. I'm a die-hard Nexus fan and currently I'm on a Nexus 6 and was thinking of continuing to the Nexus 6p but after reading all these quality issues and Huawei giving bad support, I'm going to hold of. Many of those who can't afford or who can't justify buying the Pixel devices are moving to OnePlus 3/3T.

That said, I don't have any issues with my 6P.

I don't have any problems with my 6P either but that doesn't change the fact that there are build quality issues with this phone and that an alarmingly high number of people seem to have serious issues with the 6P. If you buy one of these without warranty you are taking a serious chance. I personally wouldn't buy a 6P at this point. Too many potential issues and poor support from both Google and Huawei.

I do not know what carrier the OP has but even if OnePlus is not an option, I wouldn't jump the gun on the Nexus 6p. The device is no doubt a great device but as @jhs39 says, there is also no doubt that it has quality issues. Don't get me wrong, I really wanted that device but buying it now when warranty will be limited is a huge risk. Even with warranty it feels not good to know the phone is a ticking time bomb that might stop working when you least expect it. I'm glad it works for you of course but I wouldn't recommend anyone to get it in these day and age. From the stories I've read from the link I shared it seems like Google is pointing on Huawei because it's a hardware defect. Huawei is giving their customers the cold shoulder and the RMA process has been a nightmare. Just that feels disturbing. So that's the reason why I can't find myself choosing the 6p. The 5x is also a ticking time bomb. Really sad that both Huawei and LG messed up on the last Nexus devices.

Granted I wouldn't buy one without a warranty.
I just did a warranty claim with my Google Warranty. No isses and I had a replacement in 2 days.
Once the current Google warranty gest close to expirations, I'm going to get a SquareTrade plan.
On any modern phone, it's crazy not to have some kind of extended/warranty and damage replacement plan.
