Re: Got my One yesterday!

Now that was a pleasant surprise I bet... I'm waiting on my other one to arrive today for my wife... Might just give her mine and keep the new one... Lol...

That's a plan. I'll take my N5 and pass it on to my GF. I'm gonna root her N4 and mess around a little with it.

Re: Conclusions

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.

Yep........I concur. Very close. Thanks.

Re: Conclusions

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.

Thanks for this. Installed Nova and google now hotword works perfectly now. Hopefully they'll fix it so that it works natively in the next CM update.

Re: Got my One yesterday!

Awesome, glad everyone is enjoying their Oneplus, can't wait to get an invite and get my hands on one and give away the other invites to members of this forum. My Nexus 5 has been constantly losing signal these past few months, it's ridiculous. The Oppo looks like a dream come true, if I could only get my hands on one.

My experience with OnePlus is crossing over into the ridiculous. I just called USPS customer service and they swear it hasn't even been submitted to them yet. The woman said based on what she sees they printed a shipping label Thursday July 30th and there's been absolutely no action since. She said if they submitted it to a post office that day, it would have arrived yesterday, if the submitted it yesterday I'd have it today. It's pretty ****ed up to pay almost $400 and wonder where's my ****. I'm not giving up on them yet but so far my experience isn't good. And i go back to work Monday and won't be home to sign after 11:30 am so I could not have my phone until over a week after I ordered it.

Can you guys think back for me, did your order to from "electronic shipping info received" to "delivered" or were you able to actually track it

After OnePlus said my device shipped it was still 2.5 days before the device showed up on USPS tracking. The Postal Service site said shipment was imminent up until tracking began.

Thanks for the feedback. I've never experienced this before with any company I order online from. Amazon, eBay, cruzelite, so many others. I just want reliable shipping. I know it's a start up but geesh

Got an invite from a friend the other day. Just got shipping confirmation too! Can't wait to join the cool kids club!

Re: Got my One yesterday!

I just got my one omg first impressions it's freaking great

 

[soma4society]

My experience with usps tracking has been spotty at best. Something will ship, and their tracking will be MIA until the item is practically at my doorstep. That said, in the case of my One it did show a day or two of tracking prior to it's arrival.

Re: General thoughts

Idk my experience has been great with the usps then again I live near Chicago so they are on it here. But I got my phone today and its great no hint of yellow on the screen it's fast fluid and feels great in the hand.

Re: General thoughts

That could be a big reason why it may be taking longer for your phone to get to you. All I can say is that if you get a good unit you will love this phone is awesome I like it more than the note 3 that I left for this

Re: Got my One yesterday!

I too got mine on the 31st. Ordered it the 26th, shipped on the 30th. No problems at all with the phone.

Re: Got my One yesterday!

The warm tint on mine isn't nearly as bad as it's being described elsewhere. It's just a hint of a gradient toward the last half inch. And by hint, I mean I only notice it because I'm color hypersensitive. No regrets here!

Re: Got my One yesterday!

I just ordered my OPO yesterday. I currently have the Galaxy S4, and the Galaxy is the first Android I've ever owned. I'm excited but nervous about the OPO. I REALLY love my galaxy but I want a more pure Android experience. It will do basically everything my galaxy does correct? Thanks!

I would say yes it will. Though I too used to be excited. Now I'm just nervous. Their freaking shipping blows. Seems like the majority are happy with their purchase though

Yeah I'm trying to be patient. Just seeing a lot of people who ordered and got theirs in 6 days. Technically my day 6 is tomorrow. So will see. The website says 5-7 days. I just wished I had a working tracking number. The waiting isn't the problem, the GUESSING is
