This looks veryy interesting
It seems un-necessary! why wave over the device, when you can just touch the screen?
Makes you wonder how fast using both cameras during awake time would drain the battery.
Just wanna say I can control my phone with my mind and freak a few people out lol
I checked it out on the marketplace and it seems like no one (of those who ranked it) didn't like it. 1 star when I looked at it earlier.

It isn't on marketplace...you were looking at a garbage app this isn't affiliated with this "eyesight".
It will be interesting to see what is implemented with it.
It would be nice to throw the Evo on a HDMI dock, load up a 720p movie and use hand-motions to pause/fast-forward/rewind/volume etc.

I gotta agree, Project Natal is changing the way you play games by not using the controller at all while this is pointless cause you could just swipe. With ther phones it'd make sense though.
Anyone tried this game yet? It's from EA and there were no big announcements for it.
It is a first person shooter and they "fixed" the right touch pad.... I personally think they should give option of swipe turning and hold to turn.. I'm hating the hold to turn option.

I Haven't tried this game but I prefer the hold to turn control myself.

Looks pretty cool, but from what I heard, the gameplay sucks.
poor controls, poor graphics
downloading, will try the 60 mins trial first..

What are you talking about? The graphics are killer for a phone. And the controls are great. The game gives you option to choose between "real analog stick" and "swipe to move". What more do you want? Give it time and i promise you you'll get the hang of it
The right stick is INSANELY hard to use, it feels basically like they designated the right stick to be a small touchscreen....so youre swiping just like you would on the screen as opposed to the emulation/feel of a real analog stick....SO annoying/hard to get used to
wow, can't believe I'm one of the few that can work it just fine. I think this game controls great using default style.
Are you using the right stick to aim? you don't find it incredibly jumpy?

So I hate clutter and junk in my life. My moto is "if it hasn't been used in the last month then sell it or give it away"
So with my phone, if I don't use it or have no use for it is gone.
I can't recall how many pre installed apps I was able to uninstall but there were a few.
And here are the 26apps I've disabled. I don't expect any improvement in my device but if I notice any I let you know!

1. You really should try the google app. Cards work well once it's got a sense of what you're interested in. Weather alerts, sports team news, time to destination etc.
2. Fair enough, I guess you don't need to merge multiple calendars
3. Same as #2.
TBH, it sounds like you would have been better off with a Moto or Nexus phone (if you could have dealt with the size).

If OP like me is not English/american then the google app is (almost) useless. Plus disabling cards saves a lot of battery
Is there any way to change the default lockscreen camera?
With other android phones, when you install an alternative camera, the lock screen ask you which camera you want to use.
There are certainly many apps that need the "Disable" option.
i.e.: "Smart Apps" main app. (I'm hiding it with ADB but it's just a workaround...).

Your right I would love to have got a nexus pure android but they are just too big! If only they made the 6P with a 4.8" screen and 3000mha battery I'd be all over it like a rash.
That being said, with the apps uninstallled and disabled on the z5-compact it's the perfect phone.
Sexy little beast ?

Canadian here, but fair point on the usefulness of cards elsewhere.
Having said that, one of the reasons to have a smartphone is because it's a mobile computer. Being able to have it do things automatically is kinda the point. I'm willing to "sacrifice" having to charge once a day for the added utility. And yes, I think the screen on time bragging is silly.
Thanks, I've been trying to figure out what I can disable
I agree completely with the OP. I disagree with the high end phone statement. 720 screen and 2gb ram, not to mention its made of plastic. It is decidedly mid range. But the high end camera+size+expandable storage makes it a no brainer for £400. Imo
I think i have around 30+ bloaty apps disabled.
Disabling/uninstalling the bloaty apps just hides them from the interface doesnt it? They are still there in the ROM taking up space.
I do agree there are way too many of them. I also have a nexus pure android but as mentioned, it is too big to be a keeper for me.
PS Woza72 thats a great guide you put together of suggested things to kill. Gunna copy most of it.
I don't think phone size makes a high end phone. There's no requirement that high end needs to be a phablet. I don't think 720 is an issue since the phone display is smaller, it should go by ppi which is on par with the latest iphone. I do agree, 2gb ram, plastic does bring it down a notch. As for the camera, that's still up in the air. I suspect the hardware is high-end but the software is low-end. It is at least on the upper end of a mid-range.
On a handset of this size, anything over 720 would not have made much difference unless you hold the thing two inches from your face. There is a ppi sweet spot and i think the Z5C is right on it.
To Sony's credit, many of the apps arent Sony bloatware, they are Google bloatware.

Your joking right
Sony Bloatware: A - E
Account Manager
Active Clip
Album
Ar effect
Ar Mask
Automatic optimisation
Browser (small app)
Calculator
Calendar
Clocks
Creative effect
Email
Emergency alerts
Enchanted forest.....
Should I go on?
I doubt most people see Album, Calculator, Calender,Clocks,Email as bloatware. Kind of a dumb phone if you take those away. I guess the concept of bloatware is rather subjective then
I'm going by memory from your list but
Android Live Wallpaper
Calendar
Email
Google App
Hangouts
Talkback
Yes there is alot of sony bloat as well.

I'm assuming they are the line of thought that if it's not a Google app, it's bloat, but you should know that these basic apps are in every makers version of Android if its not a nexus.

I am looking at buying this phone. Is anyone currently playing this game and does it lag at all? My concerns are solo and group gym battles. Are they playable? Would anyone be able to get the fps for gym battles? You can use GLTools XDA [root] or FPSMeter
Everything work fine , except FPS drop in sub-menu like showing a pokémon under pokémon menu , everything else is 60fps

That's great to hear! I almost bought the phone this morning. Sorry to keep harping on this question, but how's the solo and group gym battles? I'm worried about this the most. Do you play during the day when it gets hot? I heard the phone overheats a bit which would be underclocking and slowing down gym battles. Thanks for the reply.

no problems with battles , only the when you view the stat page of a pokémon (20fps) , everything else is 30FPS (game limitation with unity , every phone are limited to 30fps) !

That's so good to hear! I can live with lower frames when viewing my Pokemon. Battles are the only thing that matters. What software are you using to view frames? I am curious, because I use GLTools XDA. Thanks again for the feedback. What level are you and your team? A fellow blood brother?
I use gltools without tweaks ^^
I'm red , level 17 , but in France X)
Just a fair warning, if you visit a place with a lot of Pokestops (like a major city) the game can tend to lag a lot. Mostly when there's a lot of lures active because of the petals being rendered everywhere. But it's definitely still playable.

Hi Guys, I've just bought a 6T....12 Hrs ago.
I love it, it gave me a real Wow switching it on.
There's just 3 things niggling me.
1. One speaker? Really? One Speaker?
2. The Clock and Weather Widgets, I can't get them lined up on the screen, also the trademark Red digit is not incorporated into the clock widget and both the weather and clock widgets show the date....!!! So side by side they not only don't align they repeat the same data and don't match.
3. Can't hide apps....would be nice to hide a load of stock apps I will never use.
Apart from those 3 gripes, the phone is amazing.
I absolutely love it and am very, very glad to be part of the OnePlus community.

Let me tell you what I've learned since I have gotten mine. I'm not sure about the clock and weather widget. But at far as the single speaker, this phone doesn't need 2. This summer l speaker is loud. And you can hide apps by creating a Locker. I'm not sure yet how to do that but you can Google that, that's where I read about it.

Thanks...yeah I hear you about the speaker but when you are watching a movie all the audio is in on one side....I mean come on it's mono and that went out in the 1960's!!!!
My first oneplus aswell ?. Another tip in hiding apps is that you can store them in the hidden section of your stock launcher. You can do that by swiping up to get to your apps and if you gently Swype from the left corner to the right it brings up the hidden section. One the speaker in with you most times than not I tend to cover it by accident while watching YouTube etc

I can have a dark theme on an amoled screen which looks awesome. I think it's brilliant. I've got the international version because I'm UK. I might well root but now I can hide the apps it would only be to sort out the speaker...but that's in the future....I'm more than happy for the time being now knowing I can hide the bloatware.

Don't use the clock widget, search through your widgets for one called "OnePlus widget"
I completely agree with the OP regarding the feeling when using this phone. I had been a long time htc fan but after TMobile stopped carrying it, I was lost because the os experience was severely lacking from the other manufacturers. I'm on jump on demand and I tried fiddling around with lg and Samsung for a little bit but just want satisfied. Finally made the switch to iPhone and was happy for 2 years with apple, however after apple pulled the stunt of increasing prices for subpar upgrade to the iPhone this year, left a bad taste in my mouth and when I saw TMobile will carry the one plus, I decided to jump and give it a shot. It's been a long time since I had the feeling of having the perfect phone and this is coming from someone who tends to change phones every 3 to 4 months due to the freedom provided by JOD. I will be keeping this until the next upgrade from one plus comes out. Plus I got lucky as one of the reps sim unlocked my phone even though I met none of their criteria for unlock in the spirit of Thanksgiving holiday! So a pleasant bonus and now currently waiting for bootloader unlock code for root. The only reason I want to root is due to completely and utterly blocking ads from everything including apps. That is one thing I miss from apple. A lot less ads on the device compared to Android, however that should be resolved soon. This stock os is perfect otherwise! Amazing battery life, extremely fast charging, and buttery smooth! What else can one ask for!

Yep, that's the weather widget it's great and has the red digit.
But there is no clock with the red digit.
There is however a setting for the red digit clock for the lockscreen...so somewhere in the phone is a red digit clock widget!!!
