OnePlus 2 - Announced

[sburrell93]

If I knew what any of that meant, i'd be all over it.

It's easier than it sounds if you follow the YouTube video from a few pages back.

Basically what you're doing is starting the phone in a different mode, connecting it to a PC, downloading a few files, typing some commands on the PC to make said files 'root' the phone, then once you have a 'rooted' phone, you can load a file onto it, install (flash) it on the phone and you're done.

In very simplified terms anyway lol. The video guides you through all that though.

I'll look into it tonight, thanks.

One thing to note - it will wipe everything you have on it, because you haven't unlocked the bootloader - so one thing to consider, you will have to backup everything you need/want to.

Luckily Google makes it a ton easier if you sync your photos/contacts etc

 

[sburrell93]

I found that once I'd done the whole unlocking the bootloader bit, once I booted the phone back up it asked me if I wanted to set it up as a new phone or restore my last backup. So I restored it and it had everything on it. Literally everything, screenshots, file downloads, the lot. Even asked which of my apps I wanted it go reinstall for me

Still backed up first mind, not a risk I would've taken but it made things nice and simple afterwards

 

[Herr Flick]

I think i'll just plug the charger in.

[Dannyeff]

what apps are people using for text messages? stock 1 isnt that great.

 

[sn00p]

OK, I'll prefix this by saying that background creep is always my major enemy.

This is on ak.

36 hours since charge, 2 hours screen on, 1 hour of call time....still on 36%.

I'm pretty happy with that!

I use Textra, works well for me!

 

[rctempire]

Go SMS Pro.

Just tried that Antutu Benchmark with mine on AK Kernel v18 and got a score of 45844. It was up about 54k back before I rooted and was running stock OxygenOS! f**k knows what's up with it.

 

[rctempire]

Well, oneplus tech support was great.
Told me my Titaniumbackup was safe on the phone. Unfortuneatly it wasnt.
All data lost, but least i had pictures backed up.
Support was great, very good at doing the support, took 2 hours and phone is factory reset etc etc.
See how it goes when it gets to 20 percent.


Oh well.

 

[sburrell93]

If anyone is interested I have an invite for the Oneplus X. Goes on sale tomorrow.

Also have an invite to claim for the Oneplus Two but it can only be claimed on my email address!

 

[rctempire]

Well my One Plus Two adventure is drawing to a close.

RMA is arranged. Will await a new one.

 

[Dannyeff]

I have a shareable one plus two invite if any yous want it?

 

[coolspot007007]

Got an invite as well, 3 hours too late for me, ordered a HTC One M9+ instead. F*ck you retarded invite system! Got to wait for shipping from Hong Kong though 😞 such a shame it wasn't released here.

 

[sburrell93]

My battery life on this is f**king shite the now. Lucky if I'm seeing 3 hours screen time and no matter what I do it doesn't get any better! Using amplify, greenify etc but it's not helping. Any ideas?

Did you install the latest update? It's cack, I removed it.

 

[sburrell93]

Yeah, think I installed it Friday there, might try removing that and see how it goes then.

 

[Herr Flick]

Think i'm going to have to go back to two phones. Getting pissed off with this phone.

What's wrong with it and how much you want for it.....

... hold on:

Well my One Plus Two adventure is drawing to a close.

What happened ?

Resolved !?

Has this been addressed ?

 

[Herr Flick]

Nothing is wrong with it apart from its s**t.
£250. Lol

@rctempire @sn00p @sburrell93 @Tyler@Ultimate @Addicted

Has anyone got a good story to tell with these ?!

Got invite to get one and I'll be buying it "as a work phone" through my company... So it'll be the same price as @Hans. 2nd hand one ha.

Thoughts, anyone ?!

Absolutely love my OPO. Had no issues at all. Haven't rooted it.

I had to rma mine. Work mate had to rma two different ones.
He wasn't rooted and no modification.
My returned one has no issues so far.

I know @sburrell93 has battery issues but I'm convinced it's an app causing it.

I'd say you'd be fine.

Oh and rma takes about 4 weeks from initial case to new phone.

 

[sburrell93]

Yeah, as above I'm getting issues with battery life on mine. Screen time is about 3 hours and won't change no matter what I do.

Standby life however is ridiculously amazing. If I'm not using the phone the battery hardly drops at all, but as soon as I start using it, I'm fucked. Not got a clue what's up with it tbh.

Do a quick test, hibernate Facebook messenger would you.

Using greenify? I already do that

 

[sn00p]

I love mine. My issue with the latest update was to do with an app I had running because it happened after rolling back. Once I removed the app, the issue went away.

Currently I'm NYC and using the second sim for data on 3! 25gb of data, yes please.

Yeah love mine, better than then OPO in all areas which is enough for me.
Not rooted as I don't really need too.

 

[sburrell93]

I've just got rid of amplify and tbh my battery life seems better already.

I think I had limited so many things from running over time that it was causing more issues than anything else. Will see how it goes the rest of today, then get back to limiting the few things causing real battery problems now.

Good job. Wouldn't expect it to hinder performance but depends what you really did stop running.
Let us know what happens.

 

[Dannyeff]

@sburrell93 my battery life is amazing .. 8 oclock till 6 and had 64% left thats with listening to youtube in my car and checking my phone throughout the day

 

[sburrell93]

Aye. I have a problem then. I lost 10% listening to spotify on the way to work this morning (45 mins) and I've currently got 44% left with just under 2 hours screen time.

Fucked if I know what's wrong with it though. Doing my head in now.

What mail client are you using and what mail service are you using? (i.e gmail, icloud etc)

 

[sburrell93]

What mail client are you using and what mail service are you using? (i.e gmail, icloud etc)

Everything routed through Inbox. Think it was you that helped me do it actually! I have a Hotmail address coming in through it as well as my Gmail account

 

[rctempire]

Do you have it to fetch like every 5 mins?
Decrease the sync time to 30 mins.

Potential that inbox is doing it?
On cloudmagic and my battery is perfect, 5 accounts all set up. Including Exchange Push and fetch for all pop/imap.
