Develop Bugs

If you could ask One Plus to concentrate on 1 thing, what would it be?

As OnePlus is a smaller company, it's understandable that they may not have the resources to fix all of the bugs, release security updates and work on the Android Nougat update all at the same time.
If you could ask One Plus to concentrate on 1 thing, what would it be?

For me this is easy. Video stabilization is broke at the moment.
Once they fix this, the Android N update would be nice. :angel:

For me. I think videos stabilization is acceptable honestly speaking its not that bad. We can co-op with it as being an average user. And for those of them who wants best in class video quality you better invest in something way better as the camera on oneplus is far better then the competition. And there's practically no drawbacks at all, imo. Speaking of which you won't get better than this in just a budget of Rs. 28k or $400. As the given market standard you have to spend almost double for samsung Sony and triple for the apple devices. So taking the compatibility and user experience in consideration. I think i can pick a oneplus 3 on any day. So in my opinion. OnePlus for the given moment should only concentrate on the nougat update. So that oneplus's flagship get some reputation of providing good and fast updates as doing so will enhance the market reputation and add another reason to get oneplus 3 asap. As if they provide an update within this quarter they will have a hefty amount of time to concentrate the video stabilization. As it is usable but there's nothing better than the best. ?

Random soft reboots of phone, especially when using Bluetooth + GPS like waze

Front Camera quality, it just sucks. You go to a zone with a bit of a low light and the noise is unacceptable. OPO's front cam was miles better than this crap.

Faster WiFi chipsets , or nougat 7.1

7.1

Better digitizer glass

Camera , image quality and UI interface is really lousy. I always accidentally switch photo mode to video mode when try to zoom in or zoom out .

I would ask for a stock camera app that all Roms could use.

Better camera than iPhone and Pixel

No doubt.........Android 7 update. Everything else in this phone is ok according to its price.

Rom flashing to be a lot safer & easy. Not like now, Twrp or firmware needs to be reinstal almost on every time you flash a new rom.
Better LTE, phone signal, camera.

Fix not users issue :highfive: like stabilization

I would love to see improvement of built in apps like gallery, music, shelf, launcher, camera, clock and enabling FM radio. More tweaks and cool useful features.
I.e: alarm clock that plays your favourit FM radio instead of tone / editing a ringtone in music app...

Im happy with everything on my OP3, everything works super well imo.
A well built Android 7 would be great.

As the author of this poll I'm surprised by the results. In other places, there are people that moan that the OP3 is a buggy unsupported mess.
By most users opting for the N update, it proves the device is generally solid and the issues are the minority not the majority of users.

Why?

I don't really care about V7. I'm more concerned about them screwing up Oxygen OS by making it into Hydrogen OS.
Software wise i just want regular security updates and big fixes. Once they have that down they can worry about messing up the UI and adding useless features.
Pipedream, replace your stock recovery with twrp and stop making me reinstall it after updates.
On the hardware front I just want an SD card. I don't need it obviously but I would prefer it.

[Question]About to buy the phone, could you give me a few tips?

Hello!, I'm about to buy the Zuk Z2 phone tomorrow, it's the Aliexpress one that comes with multilang ROM (I think there's only one seller so I don't have anything to add about it). Anyone tested this ROM? Never flashed a phone so don't know if should I or not.
Main features I liked from the phone are the U-Touch swipping thing, front fingerprint sensor and camera, but looking at the forums, custom ROMs has less features on the camera (and I think they also get worse quality), also viewed a review that said that after 3 months of use, the fingerprint sensor started failing to recognize his fingerprint at the first two or three tries. Does the problems get solved with those ROMs? What about the camera? It gets really worse? Are there custom ROMs with the great performance, battery life, qc3 enabled and also stock camera or there's not such a perfect one yet?
Thank you a lot!

I think I can explain the fingerprint problem. When you use the U-Touch button often, the sensor gets dirty and needs to be cleaned before it can recognize a print. Someone on the forum said putting tape on the sensor helps, but that just made fingerprints stop working for me completely. What I did was disable U-Touch entirely and use the software nav keys. I mapped the U-Touch functions to other stuff - like double tapping the home button to open the dialer and stuff. Stock ROM doesn't let you do that, but some custom ROMs (I use AEX 4.5) do.
Camera isn't really that great. I don't need a camera so I don't mind, but I've seen better stuff for the price.
Also, I don't think QC3 works on any ROM, although I'd love to be corrected on that.
Hey, see if the Xiaomi A1 is available to buy instead for a similar price - IMO it's a much more well-rounded phone, and I've seen a Snapdragon 625 phone (Redmi Note 4), and it's about on par with the Zuk Z2 in performance, IMO. You get better benchmarks on the Zuk, but actual usage is 100% the same. Mi A1 has official updates from Google and a better camera too.

I'm also torn between A1 and Z2 (lol funny names). The main feature (for me) that the Z2 has is the smaller 5" screen. I prefer a compact form factor plus the z2 also has a 500mah bigger battery. I just hope that some kind soul ports the latest and greatest of android to the z2.
btw, does volte (jio) work proper on custom roms?

I think so? Not sure because I don't have Jio personally, but a lot of ROMs advertise VoLTE.
I can confirm that the battery on the Z2 is excellent - I get anywhere from 6-8 hours of SoT and I didn't even do any tweaks after installing the ROM. About the form factor though, you're not going to notice a huge difference - I hold a Z2 Plus and a Redmi Note 4 side to side, they're not really that different. Where the RN4 is wider, the Z2 Plus is thicker. I'd imagine the same would carry for the Mi A1.

Yeah, I brought a Z2. The A1 is good but the updates aren't handled by Google. If those Android One phones would get updated the same day along with nexus and pixel then maybe i would have given it a second thought. Even now, its launching with Nougat and they "promise" that it would be updated to O in 3-4 months. In three months, most phones get custom roms ready so no use of buying the xiaomi a1. I also don't sign up to the dual camera gimmick. If i even buy a phone for the camera, it would be the pixel or nothing. On the Z2, i couldn't care less. i can just carry my dedicated camera.
Now i just hope that VoLTE works nicely cause i use jio as my primary carrier and as you know, they don't have 2g/3g fallback.

I wouldn't buy this phone if given a chance again. Even with custom ROMs performance is below par.

Sure, that's cool. Have fun with your new device!

- my phone is now on AEX 4.6
- Jio is working without any issues. I can make calls from it even without turning on the LTE data.
- I use U-Touch single tap for 'back' and long touch for 'Google Now on Tap', and left and right swipe for one-handed mode. I don't like the sound when pressing that button, so never use that.
- so for 'recents' and 'home', I use 'Swipe Navigation' by Suphi : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suphi.swipenavigation . I even purchased the full version. This is one of the better phones to use this app since there's no button (even capacitive) other than U-Touch. It has many customisations like long swipe for last app, dock, etc. More than that, it consumes only ~8mb of RAM.
- installed >300 apps, LTE mobile data always on, location (battery saving) always on, adaptive brightness (on day) browsing, chatting, gaming, watching videos,.. and still get 5-6 hours of SoT
- I don't care about the camera that much. So can't say anything about that, but I'm very happy with the results.
- for my smaller hands, 5" phones are good. And I love large screens if they're bezel-less (but these are expensive )

Just picked up a 7.1 - I'm a fan

Pulled the trigger on this bad boy, and I must say it's elegant in its simplicity.
1) Android One, while not unique to this device, is the perfect combo. No BS vendor or manufacturer bloatware and quick security updates - done.
2) No real pictures taken yet, but in playing around with it, the camera seems much better than my Essential's snapper.
3) I am a business user, so I don't need the 845 for gaming... that said, there's nothing that feels 'slow' about the Nokia
4) It has a nice build quality feel without being as heavy as the Essential phone
5) The screen is very nice
I'll check in later with some more input. The only thing I am on the fence about is unlocking and root. It's been #1 on my agenda for so long, it's strange to think of owning a device with out. However, the ACTUAL use I have for root is so limited at this point... I'm not so sure I'll miss it. Of course, that's assuming Nokia won't eventually provide the keys to the kingdom... which they might.

In installed my favorite music player, Neutron, and it auto detected some hi res / optimal settings. Sounds awesome!

Software (ease of use, features, etc)

When you hand your phone to granny to take a photo of you, can she get the job done? Rate this thread to express how you deem the Xiaomi Mi A3's camera software. A higher rating indicates that the software is easy to use, fast, uncluttered, and inclusive of advanced features for when you need them.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

I think software is a strength of this device. It's clean, ad free & bloat free. This thing is very stable too. Regular updates are guaranteed. It's Android One software isn't packed to the brim with 'extra' features, so for some people it's a better Android experience - straight from Google, the way android should be. However, for power users like me, it can be a hassle at times, since simple things that you get with OEM skins are absent here (eg: screen lock toggle, gesture screenshot / scrolling ss, call recording, much much better gesture navigation from MIUI). You need to install extra apps just to get these functionalities. But that's an issue with stock android itself, so can't blame this phone, really.

Android One is really plain. Custom roms should address our customization needs, i just feel everyone/Devs are just waiting for Android 10 before cooking up stuff. I pray.

This is the phone with the worst software in the history of smartphones. I'm not going to ever buy any xiaomi device.

General Switched from S22 Ultra to Pixel 6 Pro

Hello Guys!
I just wanted to tell about my experience with my old S22 Ultra and my current daily driver the Pixel 6 Pro.
First off, why did I even changed my phone?
- I had the S22 Ultra with 128GB Rom and 8GB Ram (Exynos chip). And I need to say it was horrible. Lags all over the UI etc. And I dont even want to talk about app switching.
Basicaly I was not satisfied with the phone itself. The camera was great, but it needed to load the camera app for so long to actually take photos. Also when taking photos it needed a long time to shutter.
Now I have the Pixel for one day, and I am overwhelmed how great this phone is. I was always that guy who install custom roms on my devices. But since the Galaxy S9 the community for Samsung was not active anymore. But the Pixel is the first phone where I wouldnt even want to install a custom rom, the UI and everything together is so great. Minimalistic and just smart.
Of course there are some things I am missing, like the spen, I found it very helpful in some situations, or the desing and feeling itself.
But I am happy that I switched, the Pixel feels a lot smoother than the Ultra and the the whole system just feels it is in line.
Now the Pros & Cons for the Pixel:
Pro:
- the system, everything togehter
- Tensor chip, its mostly an exynos but it is crafted for this device and OS, so its really like a musical
- felling of vibration, much more intense than the samsung one
- camera bump, when the phone lays on the table there is no wobbly when using the phone
- Always on display, looking much more cleaner than the samsung one
- Systemupdates, Android 13 came over OTA, I needed to flash the beta on the Ultra per Alliance App (living in Austria, so no offical beta)
- rooting doesnt kill my varrinty or other apps, on Samsung there is a knox chip that gets destroyed when rooting, not on Pixel
- all Apps are from Google, like Messages, Telephone, Contact etc, much more better than the samsung ones
- Speakers have much more bass than on the Ultra
- and much more...
Cons:
- Fingerprint is slower than on the Samsung
- like I said, no spen
- no dual sim (like cards), possible with 1 Sim-card and 1 e-sim
- buttons are felling more stifer, I need more pressure to lock the phone
I hope this little writing can help someone who is still deciding what phone to buy, my opinion is, that the Pixel is the better option, costs less and has much less cons than pros.
If you have something to add or have question, write here. I am open for discussion.

You may be interested in AOSPMods if you aren't already. I use its ability to double-tap on the status bar to lock the screen, among many other features. If you don't like that, some custom kernels can add an optional ability to sweep to sleep.
