My OnePlus One review (warning: long)

Re: General thoughts

Getting frustrated. Mines still just says "electronic shipping info received" I kind of hope it doesn't come today because I quirk from 12:30 - 9:00 pm today and my mail comes about 1pm lol. Thought about taking a vacation day but you have to give a days notice at my job and I got the shipping email about a hour after I got off yesterday. Now I'm off tomorrow and am ready to camp out for the mail to sign for it. If it does arrive today I'll have to pick it up at the post office with I. D. tomorrow I imagine. Just ready for all this to be over and have the phone in hand

Edit: here's a current taking screenshot

Well I'm pissed I had to run some errands and I missed my mail carrier so I have to wait until tomorrow for them to re-deliver it( actually had to call and have them do it because they were not going to try and make a second attempt.) on a positive note I have tomorrow night off so ill be up playing with it all night breaking it in.

The messed up thing for me is I lost my mailbox key so I hope there's no peach colored card in there. I'll probably have to call the post office to see if I need to come pick it up or if it's being redelivered. Either way I'm determined to get it tomorrow

Got my One yesterday!

I do have the warmer coloring toward the bottom of the screen, it is thankfully not as terrible as some are describing. Letting it bask in my UV light didn't help either, so there's that. Otherwise, this phone is awesome! So fast, and so premium feeling in general. I'm still using my Note 2 until my case and screen protector come in, but I can't wait to make the OPO my daily driver!

Re: General thoughts

I'm right their with you idk if I have to stay awake all day and wait for the carrier I will have my phone tomorrow. Just need my tmobile sim to come in so I can activate it and start using the phone.

Yeah i plan on going to a T-Mobile retail location to get a sim card and activate it. Gonna be waking up early and making. Some calls

Edit:called the post office and it's not there. So either today or (gasp) Monday. Not happy with this shipping process. I shouldn't have to ******* guess when it'll arrive. My shipments progress hasn't been updated since I got the damn tracking email. Over 36 hours later

I got mine on the 31st as well, ordered the 25th. My screen is perfect. If there's a yellow tint I can't see it at all...

Re: Conclusions

Good to hear, I was not that fortunate though, actually out of the 4 phones I have owned in the past 18 months , the OnePlus is the worst phone with the most problems that I have owned. I do not even try to use it, went back to my Nexus 5. Hopefully when they finally get around to my RMA, my replacement phone will be better

That's unfortunate. I hope customer service can send you a replacement asap. What problems did your One have?

Re: Conclusions

Here too. My only substantive gripe is "ok Google" voice command being essentially MIA / non functional. Other than that, pleased in every way. Battery life on this thing is stellar. And my yellow banding, which was very faint to begin with, seems to be fading to total invisibility.

I have Nova installed. You can long press on a screen to install the search widget and ok Google will work..... at least it works on my One. I could not get it to work any other way.

Dang.......widget changed and ok Google stopped working. That's weird.

Ok Google works for me, but only if I am very close to the phone. I'd assume that a software update can fix this functionality since the microphone seems to work fine for everything else.
