Essential Official Android Thread

I got my Gear Live yesterday and paired it to my Galaxy S5. First impressions... Android Wear is DOPE!

Yes it lacks sensors
Yes the battery doesn't last longer than a day
Yes their isn't no speakers

But fukk it the watch works
- Notifications appear right on your phone so leave that big phone in your pocket.
- Bluetooth 4.0 low voltage works and its good! While I leave my phone charging, I still get notifications on my watch
- Google Now is dope! I use it for translations, quick look ups and calendars
- Apps are sick! You can control music on your Watch, calling from you watch, respond to e-mails and text from a watch
- Charging the watch overnight does not bother me.

Android Wear is only 200$ and it shyts on any other watch on the Market right now!

Pebble Steel - nice watch, long battery life but Apps make a huge difference Android Wear has Apps
Galaxy Gear - meh Samsung OS... Samsung can't make software why would I want a device that only runs Samsung software

Android Wear >
Android Auto is up next

Ended up going with the Nexus 5, got a hood deal and if I'm still feeling it in a month I'll upgrade to the Nexus 6

I'd like to use CM on my SGS4 but the FF Camera don't work even when I switch out the APK

Yo Android Wear owners check out this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nickapps.wear.findmyphone&hl=en

All you have to say is "Ok Google... Start Find My Phone" then your phone rings. Brilliant.

just ordered my OPO today, anyone know how long standard shipping takes? Also, for those that have purchased it, what are your initial thoughts? Did you have that yellow tint on the bottom of the screen that I'd read about?

shipping was pretty fast. got it in under a week. Shipped from CA to me on the East Coast

So far, no yellow tint issues. You will be very pleased with this phone. Only thing I don't like is how the vibration feels on this phone coming from the nexus 5

Mine came in a week, only issue I have with OPO was that they never provided me with tracking until AFTER I had got the phone lol

No yellow tint issue for me.

Best phone ive had, its so fast and feels like a premium phone like M8. I cam from a Nexus 5 and boy i did love that phone, but this tops it.

The camera is best ive used on a phone - 8 second shutter speed


The display is so nice, again best ive seen on phone.

You have prob seen reveiws for it anyway, but the button placement is perfect.

Ive not rooted phone yet as the Cyanogen Mod is pretty good, but there are few things i had on my ROM on my Nexs 5 that I miss. So will prob root in a few days.

Only thing that annoyed me is no QI charging.

Other than its awesome for that price, it cannot be beat.

Anybody got anymore invites for that Oneplus One?

Mine came within a week. Everything about the phone, down to the package has a premium feel. I've never kept any box of any phone I've ever bought until I purchased the OnePlus one.

The phone itself is very easy to grip and hold in the hand. And the back feels very premium with the sandstone materials.

As for the yellow tinting, mine doesn't have it, but Oneplus was telling people that there is yellowing because the screen emanates warm coloring more than other phones and that is because of the

screen they chose to go with. Also, they said that it could also be yellow from the gluing not fully drying from production. There were people saying that their phone was just put together when they got it.



I've had this phone for a while now and I absolutely love it. Battery life so far is the best I've ever had on any phone. I consistently get 1-2 days off charge depending on how much I use it as far as

media consumption is concerned. There is no lag whatsoever with Cyanogenmod running over Android. The camera is among the best and takes great pictures. And the HDR mode is an absolute

monster when it comes to high def photos. I was blown away at the quality of the photos taken. But there is one little flaw though. It's a GSM phone. So if you're on Verizon or Sprint, you won't be

able to put the Oneplus one on their networks. I have T-mobile with this device and there are times when I can't do anything with the phone because their is no coverage at all. If you're living in the

boonies away from the City on T-mobile, your service could be severely lacking. The area around my house only has 2G at the moment. As far as AT&T goes, there have been numerous people who

have had connection troubles and the most they have gotten is 3G. Part of the problem I've read is that AT&T doesn't recognize the phone on their network. So if you don't have AT&T and you want

to put it on their network, you're gonna have to go to your AT&T store and have them activate the sim inside a recognizable phone like a M8 and then transfer it to your OPO. But since AT&T has a

habit of kicking non-subscribed users off their network when it get's busy, I chose T-mobile. Unlimited data for 60/month was too good to pass up. When I am in an area that has coverage, the phone

performs very well. Overall, this phone is definitely a must cop if you can get your hands on one. I absolutely love it. Sorry for the long response.

I agree the camera on the phone is the best ive used.

 

[Mr210]

can someone confirm or deny this, im with sprint and im trying to get that LG G3, my current sprint bill is like $86 with my corporate discount, I have the everything 450 plan or whatever its called. I went in to Best buy earlier and the guy was telling me that it would be better to go with the framily plan and that no matter what when I upgrade my phone my bill will go up to like $130 something, which doesnt seem right to me. I told him im in the middle of a contract but eligible for an upgrade but he said none of that matter. He also said that for the next 3 days I could actually get the phone for like $47 instead of the listed $99 and would get a BB gift card for a $100. Also I dont have a memory card but when I get a new phone I want to take my contacts and pictures from old phone to new phone, is that possible and also how do I get that info onto a memory card if I go get one
