Oneplus 3 or s6 edge? - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

i curently have the s6 edge. i got it for 300eurs. should i sell it for 300eurs and get the oneplus 3 or stick with it. what are the downsides (i love custom rom's and that sort of things)

it depends what you want out of your phone. Oneplus is more powerful and has one of best dev support. I personally dont like the touchwiz and prefer stock android. if you a simple phone for day to day needs and you're not going to tinker around much you should probably hang on to s6 edge and if not then oneplus 3 is definitely the way to go.

i also heard that wifi is literally **** and that the display looks bad in comparison to the s6.
"I normally wouldn't complain about 1080p, but I can actually see how fuzzy my wallpapers and text look on this phone compared to the oneplus 2" from a phone reviewer
is the screen really that bad?

I've not faced any issues with wifi yet. Screen is good but if you are coming from 2k AMOLED you might not like it as much as s6. But screen doesn't have any issues. Quality is great and texts are crisp and clear.

Camera is great for day light pictures. I've had iPhone 6 and moto x play before this. Auto mode is great but manual mode makes this camera amazing if you know how to use the manual mode. Low light performance is not as good top end phones but at this price point, it's the best camera phone available.

Its better then my Gfs iPhone 5s in Low light so.

I own it and compared to Samsung S6 the camera is BAD on OnePlus 3.
So if you want good camera get the Samsung S6 Edge. And remember the screen on OP3 is just 1080p

I sold S7, bought OP3, and never looked back, you are talking about S6 edge? WOW.
OP3 is better because:
- Stock Android UI if you Don't love TW.
- Far more smooth, least lag, there is no Sammy device which don't lag or miss frame rates.
- Prettier, better feel in hand, slimmer, sleeker.
- Larger Screen
- Easy to root/TWRP and come back to stock, Sammy is pain lately.
- CM13/14 officially which Sammy lacks.
- Charges phone three times faster than any sammy phone.
- Edge screen is more fragile, loss of real state, picture distorted on the edges, accidental screen touches are must.
Plenty of more reasons, but i am having headache right now, dont wanna use brain.

Well, wish i could have microscopic eyes like some guys, by cannot find the difference between 1080p and 2k screen of S7, i dont wear glasses even.
I prefer colder, sharper, saturated colours though, and don't even use RGB mode on OP3 as well, so probably difference users, different needs/preferences.

Obviously those, who have experience with both devices must be helping you out. Any ways your question was very odd as well, comparing current gen phone with a last gen phone. Make your mind your self dude.

I'd pick a 1+3 anyday over a Samsung device but you seem like a Samsung kinda guy, so maybe you already have the right phone

I had an S6. between the standby battery drain and horrible memory management (apps would freeze and force close), I went right to the nexus 5x and now to OP3. Literally everything is faster in every way. Samsung has good hardware but the software totally sucks. Picture quality and screen quality is good I'll admit, but not enough to overcome apps freezing and closing and horrible battery life.
Go with OP3 you won't be dissapointed, or wait for the new Pixel line to be launched tomorrow and either get that or pick up a cheaper 5x or 6p. Their low light picture taking is top notch (better than S6 and OP3 - speak from experience as I've used them all).

Ive actually sold my s6 for 400$ and bought op3. And i dont regret anything. Only wifi is not as good as it was on the s6 but thats all.

It still beats it single core by a big margin, and no doubt I could "tweak" my settings if I wanted but really what is the point? You started this thread basically to argue that your S6 is as good as a 1+3?

A power user friend of mine had the S6e and nearly went back to iphone due to the battery life. He managed to get an S7e for a good price and hasn't looked back.
I have an Galaxy tab S2, (which probably has the same generation OLED to your S6e,) and I think the display is worse on the OP3. For me, the colours look all wrong and when you put on sRGB in developer options, the whites are too yellow. In your position, I'd find a physical OP3 and compare it to your S6e before taking the plunge.
Apart from the display, (and possibly lack of SD card,) I cant fault the OP3 from when I've seen it. For speed and smoothness, it was even in the same league as the Nexus 5 running kit kat. (but not quite )

[Q] Upgrading from Nexus 4 to Galaxy Note 3 Neo. Should I?

Hi friends.
I currently own a Nexus 4 and I have loved this device for a REALLY long time. However, now I think its time to upgrade. My upgrade is due to the following 4 reasons ONLY.
1) Screen Size. I want a bigger screen size than my N4
2) Available Memory. 16 GB. Every now and then its full. Cant expand. I take lotsa pictures and videos.
3) Camera. MAJOR REASON. Oh I hate my phone whenever I open the camera app. The camera itself is just plain pathetic. It just cant focus AT ALL. The pictures are 95% of the times blur. No my hands are not shaky. But this phone requires your hands to be trained on a snipper perhaps. And the pics are always dull, without life.
4) Battery. Need to charge it quite a lot. Although I am not a heavy user at all. But KitKat has ruined the phone. Moreover, I do NOT play games at all and never use data. If it had a removable battery, I would have easily charged the extra battery and use it on the go.
Earlier I was thinking abt LG G Pro but now I am thinking of Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo. So picking SGN3Neo for the following reasons:
1) First and foremost, Price. It has dramatically slashed. It now costs $380, unlocked.
2) Camera. I dont know but have read in the reviews that it's not on par with S4, however it miles better than N4. I mostly CROP images and stuff, so it is good for cropping? How's video/pics in night? Blur? or Clear?
3) Battery. Again, tech site and customers reviews say it is awesome. And ya, its removable. Lets say if it fails in a couple of year, i can easily buy one and replace it.
4) It's got a micro SD card slot upto 64 Gig. So memory shouldn't be a problem.
5) I think 720p should be fine, considering it has AMOLED display.
6) OTG, for even more space.
Prices of other phones in my country.
LG G2: $440
LG G Pro: $280
Galaxy S4: $450
OnePlus One: *ock Teaser (not interested)
As you can see, almost all these phones are priced quite above Neo 3, so I am toooo inclined towards the Neo as it has decent specs. Moreover, I don't much care about Android updates. But still would want to know, have you guys gotten KITKAT? As MANYY users are reporting firmware issues and other day-to-day issues with the phone. Like: phones shows full signals, regardless sim is inserted or not. Or, screen flickering issues. etc
I would request you guys to let me know how the camera is. The camera is very important for me, so please tel me your experiences. And is there any other flaw you guys found with the Neo 3 that you suggest me not opting for it?
And ya does ti lag badly? Say like S3? (The only reason I have hated samsung phones is, LAG. Please tell me does it lag after a while?
, once the phone is filled with lotsa apps and media?
TL;DR... Want to upgrade from N4 to SGN3 Neo. Please suggest.
1. Got mine for around $360 unlocked, great value.
2. The camera is great. Video is superb. Low-light is excellent too. Having a little difficulty focusing on a macro scale though, well it's same for most devices too. The front camera is good as well, even for a 2MP.
3. Battery. 74HR Endurance Rating on GSMArena. Excellent!
4. Yep!
5. 720P S-Amoled. What looks bad on paper, actually looks great, in my opinion. I don't notice much difference having used a N3 before. Lower res = better battery life. S-Amoled means excellent viewing angles, deep blacks and good saturation!
6. OTG. Expansion much?
go for it. You have your concerns covered.

Thank you bro.
By the way, Samsung has just launched Neo 3 with Snapdragon 800 CPU and a subsequent GPU. Currently available in Korea only. I am sure it will make it to other countries too. Do you think I should wait a little longer and grab that one? It's available in Korea since Mar 3rd, however, I couldn't find even its model number on internet, so that I may ask the store here in my city to get one. Plus, its not even mentioned on eBay or Amazon :s

i think samsung is not planning to release the 800 worldwide.exclusive only in korea.
my only opinion why u should go for the note 3 neo is the battery life.i have used n4 and sold my n5 for the note 3 neo.

They will. I mean all these phones, regarldless of their region of release, make it to almost everywhere. But I was wondering, is QS 800 THAT good than the Exynos Hexacore that I should wait?
If there is a difference of lets say, 20% even, I am pretty much OK with it.

The Hexa Neo is a workhorse. The Snapdragon might/might not reach you. If it does, just pray it's bands would be supported. Also, the firmware might be least updated, and compatibility issues with the roms/tweaks/root that might be available.
It's your call though. :fingers-crossed:

I own a N3Neo and came from a Nexus 4. Pretty much everything you mentioned is a pro for the N3N3o against the Nexus 4. I love having access to a SD card again since I can load it up with music (I don't use the cloud since I listen to music on my commute to work and there are dead spots for cell service for me). Regarding the display, 720p o a 5.5 is perfectly fine.

I own the Hong Kong version and I haven't had many problems with the phone. The stock 4.3 firmware is excellent. The only major issue I have is sometimes the radio doesn't pick up a signal when I go from a dead zone to a non-dead zone - turning on airplane mode and then off fixes it. Not a major annoyance.

Camera seems pretty decent better than the N4. This is my first samsung phone so sometimes I notice when I take a picture, move the phone when it's "processing" the image, the saved image is not what I took, but during mid-motion. Odd.

Almost no issues with lag and I've been using the phone since mid-April of this year. The hexacore Exynos+Mali T624 seems to keep the phone moving at a good clip. I have read some people have had issue with lag, but my HK region version has been great.
TL;DR... Want to upgrade from N4 to SGN3 Neo. Please suggest.

Try it out! I have to say it's one of the best sub-$400 phones on the market right now - great price/performance ratio and you get all the Note 3 goodies in a cheaper package.

Haha, yea, after posting and seeing your signature, I was like "ohhh, the person already bought the Neo." haha. I'm really loving the phone even though sometimes I feel like it's a tad too big and also I wish it had LTE support in the US.
@hakz - Turning smart stabilization off worked! I don't see the "processing" status bar anymore after taking a pic.

Oh I can't tell you how much I am loving this BIG screen. It's like I just bought myself an aeroplane haha. And that S-pen! Gosh it's a KILLER. No doubt the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo is an amazing amazinggg experience. Moreover, I don't understand the hate people have against TouchWiz. Coming from a Nexus, I know how it feels. You go crazy and jump around, when you get an android update and in real life usage, what you get IS, a new interface of the dialer, which apparently is a knock of of Windows UI. Nexus, always left me with desires... the desires of MOST simplest things which Google doesn't care much about.
BDW I am still getting those blurry images even after disabling the Image Stabilization. One of the biggest problems with Nexus Camera (apart from insanely pathetic cam quality) was, I had to keep my hands ROCK and STEADY to take a clear pic... else pictures used to come out blurry. I am seeing this somewhat in this phone too. Samsung has the best cameras in cell phones since ages. Wasn't expecting this. What's your firmware? Let me compare with mine.

I don't really have a problem with TW really in normal usage - I keep things simple on my phone. Three home screens, a few widgets and the quick toggles when you drop down the notification shade has everything I need quick access too. The button that brings you to more toggles I rarely use. I feel like keeping it simple helps when "migrating" from stock Android to Touchwiz - just don't bother with all the extra doohickies Samsung bundles. My only gripe is the unnecessary complexity of Settings, but thankfully there is a search bar to quickly search for setting that's buried somewhere.
On the Neo, TW barely lags if any which is really odd since playing around with the US version of the Note 3, GS4 and GS5 I noticed lag in touchwiz on demo models in stores (maybe cuz they're on for so long and people play around with them?). But, even so, on my Neo, a whole day of using it, no lag.

I am seeing this somewhat in this phone too. Samsung has the best cameras in cell phones since ages. Wasn't expecting this. What's your firmware? Let me compare with mine.

The "blurriness" I was talking about was when smart stabilization is on and I quickly move the phone while the phone is processing the image the resulting picture is not what I took, but mid-motion. I just tried out taking some photos with smart stabilization on and off and the photos are noticeably blurry with the setting off. I'd say keep the stabilization on, take a picture with somewhat steady hands and then wait for the phone to finish processing the image to get best results.
Regarding firmware I am on N7505ZHUAND2 which is the latest firmware for the Hong Kong version - that's the region phone I was shipped.

I don't really have a problem with TW really in normal usage - I keep things simple on my phone. Three home screens, a few widgets and the quick toggles when you drop down the notification shade has everything I need quick access too. The button that brings you to more toggles I rarely use. I feel like keeping it simple helps when "migrating" from stock Android to Touchwiz - just don't bother with all the extra doohickies Samsung bundles. My only gripe is the unnecessary complexity of Settings, but thankfully there is a search bar to quickly search for setting that's buried somewhere.
On the Neo, TW barely lags if any which is really odd since playing around with the US version of the Note 3, GS4 and GS5 I noticed lag in touchwiz on demo models in stores (maybe cuz they're on for so long and people play around with them?). But, even so, on my Neo, a whole day of using it, no lag.

Anybody planning to switch from S7 Edge and why?

I'm thinking about it and that's why I'm asking. Hare are the pros and cons as I see them
S7 Edge
Pros:
- Bigger screen
- Bigger battery and hence longer SOT
- Better screen colors in basic mode, brightness
Cons:
- TouchWiz, UI not as fluid as Nexus
- All glass desgin and the edges are nice but not practical at all
- Root voids the warranty
- Exynos can be rooted but I doubt we will see custom ROMs
HTC 10
Pros:
- Better build, metal
- Better fingerprint scanner in terms of NOT having to press the button as on S7 edge
- Closer to Nexus in terms of UI and fluidity
- Better development and custom ROMs, to my knowledge root does not void warranty
- Better audio
Cons:
Nothing major so far I see, the items listed in pros in the S7 edge part are of a better quality but the HTC 10 is acceptable there as well.
I know both are great mobiles. Interested in your opinions as I have never owned an HTC before so do you think it is worth it? I can still return sell my S7 edge that I got at a good price which is equivalent to the price of HTC 10.
Thanks
Heck no.....
ewww I'm over Samsung. Cartoonish colors, gimmicks, heavy bloat, slow updates (because they have 457489579347 devices and it has to go through carriers), no development in the states because that bootloader is locked down tight and worst of all in my personal opinion.... Amoled. I do not like amoled screens for some weird reason. Also one reason is every single samsung device in the store has deep burn ins... noooooo thanks
If you want a phone with a ton of features and you like keeping it stock samsung is a great choice. Just cuz I don't like them doesn't mean their phones are bad. In fact they are pretty darn good. But I would hate to own one, especially at the price they are asking...
HTC is a different beast all together. Simple, beautiful, powerful. It's your choice
My wife is on her 3rd S7 since launch. I'm sure its just a bad batch of phones she's gotten. Specifically, her signal is so bad, that even the verizon tech when logged into her phone was mystified that she could do anything. Don't get me wrong, my wife likes the phone, physically. But that is about it. Its been nothing but a pain in the Arse. She almost switched to an Iphone. Its that bad.
Again, this is just one situation. YMMV,
Me, I'm dropping the LG V10 to get this phone. and the V10 is a beast, but I've come to realize, that HTC is where its at.
thanks for reading. Good luck with your decision.
Sammy Exynos versions are already getting developer support, with a few roms out.
It's the US versions that aren't getting any love.

clearly that says S7 and not S7 edge...
I am having a hard time deciding, I do like the S7 Edge a lot, I dont have to do stupid crap to limit my battery, and with my variant, I can tweak the sound to be louder or dual speaker (obviously not as good as HTC speaker)
It also IP68 which is pretty cool if you go to the beach and want to take picture near the water.
its gonna be a hard challenge for sure for me, I order the HTC 10 and I currently have the S7Edge for about 2 months running renovate rom, its really smooth, anyone who says Touchwiz is clunky and slow obviously hasnt touch the s6 or S7, even if they are clunky and slow, nothing custom roms wont fix, that being said, I do love HTC blinkfeeds. That exynos processor is the best to date and I'm not talking about benchmark score, I'm talking about battery life, day to day performance and thermal control. It's gonna be tough deciding, however if you know your priority of what you want, it shouldnt be a problem, unfortunately for me, I'm a phone whore.
dont let anyone here influence you by saying HTC 10, theres a reason why the S7 edge getting so much praise from everyone. Use both phones and see, HTC and Sony forum/thread are notorious for having employees coming in and prop up their phone (like that guy who post a video that is completely irrelevant to your questions and he clearly does not know anything about the S7 and S7 edge, there is custom roms for the exynos S7/S7edge), I mean let's be honest, they arent exactly doing well and who can blame them, if they dont do it, sales gonna go down, and they be out of business.

you know you talking about a very extreme case...putting the phone on display at max brightness, for 12-24 hours a day is not a typical scenario of an average user and even that it takes a while for it to burn in.
Thanks all for the comments. I love the s7 edge and I'm not having any main issues with it so logically should stay with the edge as no phone is perfect. I guess I'll wait before I can hold the 10 in my hand to decide.

Sadly I really like the edge version of Samsung and the glass... For HTC I liked the sense... Witch can't say now. So still not sure with what will upgrade. Marshmallow for M8 just ducked it up really bad... So the updates won't be problem . And what's the point to have 1208588 custom roms cuz when basically are all the same. (Except 1,2)

Have to agree, s7 edge screen is dismal tbh.phone often freezes and key pad is awful especially anything on the edge.
Ordered the 10 today..
I have switched from the edge to the 10. Imo the 10 feels much better in hand. With the edge I often had trouble with the sides registering my hand. Also I don't see the screen as a downgrade, it's beautiful.

I'm most likely going to change from S7 (non edge, TMo variant) to the 10 when it's out and jumpable. I do for the most part really like the S7, but I often getting presses on the edge screen from my palm while using it one handed, which I did not have nearly as much (if at all) on my V10 before it. Hopefully the HTC 10 will work better for me.
I also want the ability to root. I probably won't be flashing too many ROMs, I've kind of grown out of that, but I like to at least have the option.

mouth-watering
Really like the size of the standard S7...
HTC should've had a better form factor, the S7 fits more confortably in the hand its not too tall nor is it too wide.
The 10 size is making be hesistant, but theres nothing really smaller worth having other than the S7 and the iPhone 6S (Which I've looked into also).
Like easy one handed use.
I haven't made my mind up yet but I really wish the 10 would have had a 5.5 in display. In terms of display quality I like them both the same. I just wish the HTC got brighter in direct sunlight than it does. I'm also worried that I won't be able to achieve the kind of battery life I'm getting on the S7 Edge which is why I will wait and see what others get when the phone becomes more widely available. Right now, I can get close to 8 hours SOT or 2 days of light/medium usage with the S7E.
I guess I'm just going to wait another couple weeks to see what happens after more people get the 10.

Hah, we'll see. Knowing myself I'll continue to say no to constantly trying out new ROMs at the same time as I'm downloading a new one.

OP3 or S7 Edge Exynos?

Which would you choose and why?
The answer depends on which forum you post the question

Yeah, I figured as much. Was hoping to hear from people on the fence perhaps.
I think it depends a lot on how you use your phone and what your budget is. They both make phone calls, they both run all the same apps (mostly)...If you have the extra couple hundred bucks for the S7 edge and you want to use features like Samsung Pay and stuff like that then the S7 is awesome. But if you want to run something more open source like an AOSP based rom or Cyanogenmod and save a couple hundred bucks at the same time I think the OP3 is the best phone out at this moment. I haven't been over to the S7 forums but traditionally developer support for the Exynos has been pretty sucky, not sure if that has improved recently.
Really for the S7 Edge you are paying a premium for the "extra" features of Samsung's software. In my opinion there is way less of a reason to put custom ROMs on a Galaxy S phone anymore because since Marshmallow the proprietary software on the Samsung devices is actually pretty decent. But for tweaking, hacking, playing with firmwares the OP3 is top of the heap atm, at least until the new HTC Nexus' drop.
I ditched my S7 Edge Exynos because:
1. I never really liked its camera and all the post processing that it did to the photos.
2. I know reviewers say it has the best camera but I never really liked Samsung's decision to move to 12mp camera. I actually liked the camera of Note 5 best.
3. That physical home button makes navigation slower. OnePlus 3 got the buttons right and navigation is much faster.
4. Yes Touchwiz has become faster and I never experienced any lag, I still felt like I didn't really need all features
5. Note 7 will be out very soon and as you may know, Samsung devices lose value and become obsolate once new flagship comes out.
On the other hand, OnePlus 3 has just an average display and an average battery size (which I think that should have been bigger), however I still manage to get very close SOT to what I used to get with the Edge and Oxygen OS has been optimized really well. Also, I prefer the 16mp camera because picture detail is there even after zoom in. I also missed stock android and a device which I could root and still not lose warranty. At the end it is up to the user. Whether you like Touchwiz or stock android. I should should give credit to Oneplus 3 for using real metal, strong metal. Huawei used soft metal on the Nexus 6P and I couldn't stand that phone. Battery life was just average also.

Disagree. The 12mp galaxy camera resolves more detail IMO despite the mp disadvantage. - Dont like the processing ... ? Shoot raw.
As to older Samsung's becoming obsolete ... Here in the UK the S6 series is still sold amongst the new line and it looks like it will continue to do so for some time.

They still get sold of course but Samsung doesn't keep them top priority in the update list. Also I use RAW ehen I have my DSLR. I like my phones to point and shoot without putting too much thought into it. Glad you like the 12mp camera better though. I still prefer the 16mp cameras.

If you want a phone that is a pain in the ass to root and unstable after you root it then get a s7. If you want a gangster ass phone with 6gb of ram and the best developer support that I've ever seen then get the oneplus 3

Galaxy Note 7 Performance Issues

I purchased the Note 7 and upgraded from my Note 4, I didn't care for the 5 and opted to keep my 4 until the next model was released. I'm experiencing a lot of lag and very slow moving and loading of apps as well as internet both on the Sprint Network as well as on wifi. Is anyone else experiencing these issues and do we know if this is expected to be corrected? I'm seriously considering going back to my Note 4 within the allotted time if this is not immediately corrected. It's significant. As much as I love the look and feel, the issues are truly bad enough to warrant action. For the price, I certainly expect better.
No, it is unbelievably fast for me. Way faster than the Note 5. WiFi speeds are iffy but that's Comcast... They just suck with mobile devices. All my phones have been bad with Xfinity.

What firmware are you on?
No issues whatsoever. Phone is snappy and blazing fast.
I'm not running xfinity internet, att here. It runs fatter than our Comcast/xfinity account. I have never had any phone run as slow as this one. Every time I try to open a web page it lags. Pictures aren't loading and getting blank Pages. Not sure what is going on to be honest. I'm trying to figure out if I have a bad phone or if it's a problem beyond my phone. My Note 4 was way faster running on the same networks.
What do you mean about that's just the way samsung is? I'm not being snarky, I'm truly asking. My Note 4 wasn't like this or my Galaxy S models.
I had those issues before the next day update.
I also came from the Note 4, no issues for me with the 7. Been better in every way for me, from speed to battery.

Of cause they just paid almost a $1000 for it. It'd be an insult to their intelligence to have paid top dollars for a phone while its performance is still running behind comparing to last year's models.

I purchased the Note 7 and upgraded from my Note 4, I didn't care for the 5 and opted to keep my 4 until the next model was released.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues and do we know if this is expected to be corrected? I'm seriously considering going back to my Note 4 within the allotted time if this is not immediately corrected. It's significant. As much as I love the look and feel, the issues are truly bad enough to warrant action. For the price, I certainly expect better.

Go into SETTINGS > DEVICE MAINTENANCE > BATTERY & tap on the 3-Dot menu icon in the upper R/H corner.
Tap on OPTIMIZE BATTERY USAGE & then tap on APPS NOT OPTIMIZED,you'll see ALL APPS in the drop down list.
Tap on that to select ALL APPS & de-select for any apps where you've experienced performance issues.
Also,I strongly urge you to get the app Package Disabler Pro (or Pro +) to disable unused apps/bloatware:

Might wanna try a 3rd party launcher as well.
I use Apex Launcher Pro,but,lots to choose from & it's a safe bet most are smoother than the stock launcher.
Mine does this sometimes I just reset and it's good again figure a update will fix it soon

Hi. Take your device back for an exchange. I can assure you your mobile is not performing as the vast majority of others Note 7's are. Lot of Samsung haters on this forum and that's a shame. You appear to be genuine with a genuine problem so return your mobile and get either a refund or a new mobile, no way should you be experiencing such behaviour from the Note 7. For once Samsung appears to be getting its act together and has been since the release of the Galaxy 6 series.
I have owned an awful lot of mobiles going back to the late 80's, in fact hundreds, and Samsung got to the point with the Note 3 with its plastic metal and plastic leather that I changed to Sony and the Xperia range, superb mobiles. When the Galaxy 6 came out I changed again and have found Samsung to be getting better and better with every generation especially that awful UI of the past.
Of course with ALL such products there will be lemons and you may have drawn the short straw on this occasion however I can but reiterate that you return the unit for an exchange. Please remember most posters on this and every other forum only post about problems. Some just troll and others just post in a puerile fashion just to knock the product.
You MUST return your mobile and have your problems resolved to your satisfaction. Please let us know how you get on. Don't give up on the Note 7 its a superb mobile, arguably one of the best ever produced, and I have yet to read a negative 'professional review'.
I am sorry to learn you are having these problems.
Kind regards, Ryland

I am pleased you are enjoying whatever mobile you own. Just out of interest why are you posting on a Samsung forum when you don't own one and don't like them? I have owned every brand of mobile there is and some you have never heard of nor seen. Some I liked and some I didn't, one thing for sure is that I have never posted on a forum just to slate a brand when I didn't own that mobile, got way better things to do with my time.
What you write about the Note 7 flies in the face of every review I have read plus my own vast experience.
The Note 7 is among a handful of uber smart phones that can justify the title of being a true flagship mobile and a mobile both Samsung and its owners can be proud of. You should purchase one and experience the mobile for yourself.

Hope you read the article properly that you posted the link to? Calling people liars? It specifically states it's based on the qualcomm 820 snapdragon in US.
Most ppl that have an Exynos model are saying exactly the opposite. I've got an sm-n930f and the thing flies!
Is it ok to force GPU in dev options? It seems to make things snappier.

Just for the record, my Note 7 performs better than my Nexus 6 did.
At least it doesn't take 30 seconds to open the camera, 10 seconds to open WhatsApp, and miss phone calls because the screen doesn't respond to my swipe to answer.

Where to from here?

Evening all,
Have had the HTC 10 since launch day and I have to say it's been quite the beast, besides battery and the usual camera blips, it's the best phone I've ever had.
Recently I've been keeping a closer eye on the flagships of this year.
One plus 5
HTC u11
Galaxy S8
The latter of the three I have lost all interest in, but the other two I'm stuck between choosing, I have to say I'm torn, this will be my first phone bought out right, the one plus five is £200 cheaper which is massive really ( depending which one is chosen) and I couldn't care less about squeezing my phone.
Just wondered what you guys thought and what you'd be after yourselves, the one plus feels like what the Nexus line up should be.
The 11 will also be one of three HTC flagships which I've not owned ( one x, m8) so I'm still peering back over that HTC fence.
My thoughts are with developers too, I live a vibrant development community as I root my devices day one every time.
Any thoughts?
Or? Just keep the 10? It's got a tonne of life left in it, definitely a great phone, I have a load of kit for it and it's S-off.
Confused.

I say - save your money and keep the 10. It's a great phone, and it still has plenty of punch. Maybe wait untill Christmass so you get yourself a nice Cristmass present [emoji1]
HTC11: A gimmick disguised as a smartphone.
S8: Like an iPhone, overrated, overhyped and overpriced to match.
One+5: Now there's a contender. Looks like great build quality, good Dev support. I'd stick with the 10 until next year, when prices drop and look at it then.

I don't know, I love my HTC 10, but there are certain software things that really annoy me. And let's not even talk about how we're still on the January security patch here. So I have been often thinking if buying the phone was a good idea. I had to choose between OnePlus 3T and the 10, and the HTC fanboy in me won.
Still, I'll probably wait until next year. The price of the 3T will probably drop, so I was thinking about selling the 10 and getting it, but getting a good price for the 10 would be difficult.
I think I'm going to sit on the 10 for a bit.
I'm torn, much like yourself.
I have to say, ghough. I am still happy with the 10.

Aye I'm with you, it's the first time I've been this torn between choosing, with the m7 and m9 I didn't hesitate, even the Nexus 6P, I just sold it and got this.
Only problem with waiting is youll miss the sweet spot in time and then have to spend more time looking at the newer version of the phone you got too late
It's a tightrope lol. Think if I held it in my hand (1+5) my inner child would win, I think I was a magpie in a previous life, anything shiney and my eyes light up, maybe I was a pirate?

Gimmicky in regards to the squeeze madness. But the rest of the phone is supposed to be alright and so long as the got viper it'll be superb. [emoji16]
I do agree though, can't see that squeeze taking off and best of luck getting it to work on cm ROMs.

You'll get 200 on the​ 10 now but sell it to a human rather than somewhere that buys phones like mizuma
I've heard great things about the 3T, I have hard great things about oneplus in general.

Aye I think a lot of people will say the same..
Think if I see the one plus I'll get it, I am a sucker for new tech.
Do you think the leap is that large between the 820 and 835?

Yeah, if I'm going to sell it, I'll sell it to a human.
And I've been hearing great things about the 3T and OnePlus.
The only problem is that the 3T will render my 128 gb sdcard useless, and I'll have to get the 128 variant of the 3T.
Which is why I'm hesitating.

I don't know about the 3T... My friend has it and, TBH, I really don't see any advantages to my 10. And after Nougat update, his phone can't last a day with one full charge with moderate to low usage. I'm getting about 36 hours off charge on my bone stock 10 on Nougat with about the same usage pattern
One plus 5 is cheaper but has worse camera and screen. The lower price tag doesn't come without takeoffs.
I say stick with the 10

I don't know, I've heard very very different in regards to the camera, I'm not a huge fan of the HTC camera, hasn't been great for a while, can take good pics but is super prone to glare and haze.
If it's just been cleaned then it's ok but wiping it every time is a pain.

I don't know, battery life hasn't been amazing on Nougat for me either. I don't know if I've got 3 hours of SoT on Nougat.
But it's not that much of a problem, I can always get to a charger in time. My main issue is that with sudden lag. Like one moment, the phone is all smooth, and then something lags. The best example for it is opening the phone with the fingerprint. Sometimes, it works flawlessly. It directly opens to the home screen.
But sometimes, there is a moment of lag, when I can see the lockscreen before it unlocks. And it might sound ridiculous, but it can be very frustrating. I chose the 10 in front of the S7 specifically to avoid lag.

My main problem is that I'm from Romania, and that's why everything is a little bit more expensive. Or it seems more expensive for me, at least.
I could get the 128 GB OnePlus 3T for around 685 USD. But then, I could only sell my 10 for maybe 600, and I'd lose the ability to use the sd card, which was 60 USD or so.
So it wouldn't be that profitable from the point of view of money. But I've heard so many things about the smoothness of Oxygen OS that it seems worth it.

I really don't understand how you can get this much battery life. I'll post my battery life once I'll be able, since I just charged it, but I normally can't get more than 3h SoT.
As for lag, I had it pretty worse, but then ai pinpointed my problem to my old sd card, which is why I bought my current card and then I did a reset.
And now I still occasionally get some lag on Chrome or Facebook, and while unlocking the device. And it's frustrating.

Chrome is a lag friendly app, so I disabled that. Facebook is buttery smooth for me. I really don't understand this battery life thing. I have 2 10s, and both have similar battery life. No wi-fi issues, no lag whatsoever, nothing. I did have a problem with one of my phones, but that was resolved with the help of HTC Croatia. They gave me a new phone because my issue wasn't solved after 2 warranty claims

My battery life was pretty good on Marshmallow, I mean I certainly got the ~4 hours SoT that the reviewers were talking about. The problems started with Nougat, even after I performed multiple factory resets. I was so frustrated at a point that I installed Resurrection Remix for a while, before returning to stock.
The only different thing that I've had is that I was always S-OFF. As soon as I got the phone I used Sunshine. But I don't think that something like that could cause lag.
And I was thinking about sending the phone to service, it's still in warranty of course, but I've generally had a bad experience with stuff like that here in Romania. So I'm hesitating to send my phone away for weeks.

I meant compared to the s8 and and 11.
The main thing I see the one plus has going for it other than the lower price is great performance, according to reviews. The 11 has that too, so it comes down to if the price difference is worth the better camera and screen.
