Anyone find the notification LED a bit dim? My new OPO seems dimmer than the old OPO. Significant difference too.

Frig I hate this invite system.

I want to buy multiple phones but can't get invites very easily. Great system.

How about Pre-orders, take my money, then ship when you can?

Here is a video review of the phone

They really like the phone. The main drawbacks are the invite process, screen gestures that can turn on phone functions at the wrong time in your pocket (each is able to be turned off individually), and the size if you like smaller phones.

I'm loving my 64 gig opo. So much better than my galaxy s3. Im about to jump onto cricket for the 5 gig data plan and the phone will pay for itself in a few months

I haven't noticed any yellowing.

If you sign up by a certain date I believe you get 10gb instead of 5gb.
I'm on the 3gb plan, so far so good.

Suggestions on best dataplan to use with the OPO?

I'm currently using TMo $30/month for unlimited data/text and 100mins voice. I rarely use voice, so I'm more concerned with data usage. When I get my hands on an OPO, it will replace my SG3 (which has been hampered to edge speeds only after a flaked out CyangenMod update a while back... sucks)

Thoughts?

I had a few instances of turning on music accidentally in the beginning w/ gestures, but they have since added an option to use the proximity sensor so that you can't activate gestures in your pocket. I don't think I've ever pulled the phone out with the flashlight on since then.

I just turned the gestures off. I do have knock on/knock off on though as quite possibly the best feature on a smart phone. Whenever I pick up a phone I find myself double tapping the screen. Great for a quick glance at the office when you have a notification flashing.

Question for those using one of the screen protectors, do any of them make the "feel" of the phone better? I notice my finger kind of drags across the glass on the screen instead of gliding as well as it does with other phones, this was especially noticeable playing with a 6+ yesterday.

Is double tap to wake not working for anyone else?

I remember thinking that the MIME Ghost Glass felt slicker under my finger than the phone's glass. I noticed that the most while playing games.

mine works great~ you dont even need to tap just touch the screen in quickly twice

 

[jacktesterson]

Is it disabled in settings? No problems here.

Blah, was handing the phone to someone and it slipped between us, cracked the screen. Case was going to be here on Monday. Anyone replaced a screen yet?

from what I hear it's the same screen as the oppo 7 but I don't think it's cheap. Might be better to just sell this for parts and purchase another.

Not sure why OPO sent me 3 additional normal invites, then one more that expires in 24 hours.

However, so that it doesn't get wasted, I'm posting the 24 hour one - first come first serve.

Work just added a new responsibility to my list and ordered me a company iphone 6 today. I just found out.

Not sure if 6 or 6+ that is coming yet. (could be either depending which is available at time of order - I gave preference for 6+)

That said, I am not going to pay for my monthly bill and keep my OnePlus One when work will pay for a better plan with an iphone.

I didn't know this was coming - Guess I'm going to be selling my OnePlus and cancelling my personal line.

No way to just use the 1+ by swapping Sims?

More than likely its a iphone 6 64GB that I will get - will know soon enough. (6+ is an option but last I heard they were backordered through work)

My Director put the request in. I told him I'd prefer the 6+ but I need it for next week so I will get whatever they can send me the fastest.

I'm not going to keep 2 devices around. I don't want to chance putting a work sim in my Android device either when we only have iphones.

Wife's new One Plus One has no yellow band. So far very impressed.

Nice. I want a new phone as well but now I have to wait for the nexus 6 or something else. Looks like Verizon isn't even throttling anymore so I'm not sure. I did give my invites away though.

Would be nice to see how many newer models do have the yellow band?

 

[openwheel]

I would stick with VZ unlimited. One+One is nice, but phones come and go, true unlimited data is not coming back anytime soon.

Ha ha, so you didn't port already? Told you so.
