Post PHONE rom's

I am wondering if this is a valid idea....
When my TILT stopped getting on the network I switched to a new phone, but I still have mostly functional TILT with software like TOMTOM on it.
I have as best I can turned off as many phone features as I can... but it seems there might be some use for a ROM with the phone stuff disabled [to save power and prevent calls that will screw up your current phone situation] and leaving the device usable as a small MID with wifi.
I mean, these things cost lots of money and it seems silly to just toss them out... I can still use my TILT as a GPS, media player, games, sketching, lots, really, in fact I rarely used it's phone features before...

I am the only one with a phone with no bugs?

Maybe it's because I upgraded from an ancient AT&T Tilt (not Tilt II!) and this phone is just so much better that I don't notice the flaws.
But every post on here where people mention some bug or another and Mine does not have said bug.
My GPS works, even in the house (which I thought was not possible, because the GPS signal isn't supposed to go through walls)
My Battery lasts from 9:30 am until midnight with downloads, music, calls, video, browsing, and facebook. I have all of the default battery saving options.
My accelerometer/gyro work perfectly.
Please tell me I'm not the only one, because I am so happy with this phone, and it would be a shame if so many people where having problems that it became a flop.

Just my take on it. It is a new phone so there is still a lot of "unknown" about the phone. Also, if you go to any kind of forum like this you usually see a lot of issue/help threads rather than praise threads. Its just the way it is.

I got mine yesterday.. and love the hell out of it.. No problems at all so far, and have not been able to put it down. hahaha

Mine is great
I love my phone and have had no problems at all. and I love swpe, I almost forgot how to type

@TWiG420 I'm with you on that one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I upgraded from a touch diamond and this phone is beastly or I just waited too long to upgrade
I did have a GPS problem though, it wouldnt lock on in like 15 minutes, but I changed the settings and I get a lock pretty fast now.
Lag? None. Touchwiz? Decent, and less choppy than launcherpro!
Phone is real good.

They sold almost a million Galaxy S devices before even launching in the states, and the only 'common' problem I have seen that is not obviously software is the GPS issues. But it seems like most can change around a few settings and be fine.
Most if not all of my issues are because I do not know android. Once one or two software updates come out (or cooks make some nice custom roms with bug fixes) most if not all problems I think will vanish.

Nope
No problems, except for the GPS issue. But I live in NYC, and the buildings have always been an issue when trying to connect to the satellites with any device. Anyway, with that said, no issues with the phone/settings/performance etc. at all.

I'll one-up you, I unplug my phone at 6:30 AM when I am about to leave for work and didn't plug it in until it started complaining at me 28 hours later. Thats pretty darn good given the screen size and the fact that I was using wifi and 3G throughout the day.

Coming from a Iphone 3g.
Got my Captivate on Tuesday. Rooted it, took off the junk. Mine is running great even with no new launcher and live backround. GPS works great too.
No bugs here and phone is way faster then any other phone I have ever used.

Mine is running great too. Maybe it's because I'm not a perfectionist, but I love my phone after removing touchwiz it's even faster too.

So far, so good. Any "issues" can be traced back to my ignorance of an Android-based phone, but being a persistent sort I've either figured out the answers myself or by trolling forums. I would venture a guess that most listed problems relate to:
1. Unrealistic expectations that this new phone should behave the same way, or very similar to an older phone, e.g., number of bars should equal previous phone's number of bars and stuff like that.
2. The results of newbies futzing within the depths of the phone without recognizing the potential consequences of their actions should they screw up.
3. Glitches or wishes that will be addressed in updates.
4. Real problems that can be rectified by a swap within the 30 days.
5. Imagined problems that can be rectified by a reality check.
...and so on.
In any event, I have high expectations and this phone has certainly come close to meeting them.
Now if I can just not drop it before I get a case. If it's not in my pocket I find myself holding it like it's an egg.

Hahah, I find myself doing the same exact thing! Curse my cheapness in choosing super shipper savings! I still have at least a week before I see my case.

[Q] Strange WIFI behavior

So I'm seeing a bit of some strange wifi behavior on my AT&T One X. I have the wifi sleep policy set to always on. I've checked this many times. What I'm seeing is that at night the wifi is shutting down. The phone is not charging (I'm seeing what kind of battery life I can get). Past two nights it has done this. During the day this doesn't happen. I pick the phone up off my desk and wifi is still connected. The other strange thing is that I'm not getting any notifications during that time either. When I wake up the phone in the morning, there are no email notifications or anything. But as soon as the wifi connects I start getting them... Needless to say, battery life at night is stupendous. I lost ~3% in about 7 hrs last night. But I'm wondering why it is doing this... Is there some setting I don't know about? Anyone else seeing this at all?

Search through the forum for threads about wifi bugs. I believe lots of people (including me) are seeing the issue you mentioned and/or similar issues.

I did some searching but didn't see anything quite like this, but I probably just missed it. In all honesty, since it only seems to happen while I'm sleeping I'm inclined to see this more as a feature than a bug! hahahaha I'll look some more and see what I can find I guess.

I'm starting to think all of these bugs are just ways HTC is trying to save battery life. Turning wifi off at night, increasing wifi scan interval, killing background apps, etc.

Issue list after about one year of use !

Well, I've been using my Oneplus since a pretty long time, and I decided to list all the issues I have since I got it. It's pretty long so stay sitted.
- Ghost touches on touchscreen.
- Touch screen becoming suddently unresponsive.
- Never could manually select my carrier.
- Never could connect to carrier network.
- Never could download MMS.
- Never could connect to LTE/4G, even though the APN was correctly set up.
- Camera freezes randomly.
- Phone keeps waking up for no reason (the touch to wake keeps getting triggered, certainly a ghost touch issue).
- Photos are pretty bad, stabilisation sucks.
- Call app keeps randomly crashing, only solution to use it again is to reboot the phone.
- Messages app keeps randomly crashing, only solution to use it again is to reboot the phone.
- Random system crashes (something similar to a segfault somewhere in the UI management code).
- High battery drain (I mean, REALLY high, like, "a full battery in half a day" high !).
- SMS sending/receiving fails very often.
- GPS fixe is unreliable, it keeps draging my position over the whole town and never settles.
- Compass is unreliable, according to it, I keep spinning around, even after a recalibration.
I guess that's about it, I am missing some, but that's already pretty long.
I tried everything and made a clean install after each update to be sure, and the problems kept on adding onto each others.
The only thing that could explain that could be very poor build quality and Cyanogen mod's team incompetence (yeah, these guys really can't code properly, putting their ROM on the phone was a big mistake from OnePlus).
I would like to precise that I treated the phone very well, it never fell down, it doesn't even have a little scratch. It really feels like using one of those counterfeit phones, even though I got it from the official online store.
How many of these issues did you have ? And if you did, how did you fixe it (if you could ever fixe them) ?

There's something pretty wrong with your phone, it shouldn't act like that. You need to provide some more information.
What build are you on?
Is your bootloader unlocked?
Do you have a custom recovery?
Have you modified it in any way?
What was the last update you took and how did you apply it?

I have similar things happening to mine.
I've treated it well with no major damage to the phone.
After having it from a year and a month I've noticed that it's started. I've updated normally through OTA to CM12.1-YOG4PAS1N0.
Never rooted ( really considering it now, was very lazy haha ), never customised just kept all stock.
The problems I am having that really are concerning me :
- Very high battery drain (doesn't last 4-5 hours at most).
- Very high CPU usage (and hence the phone getting quite hot) thought it was the google play services bug, didn't change when I applied the changes.
- SMS taking a while to send (between 1.5~2 minutes for a message to send).
I'm thinking of factory restoring my phone, just want to find something decent to back my important data up (e.g. sms, some app data) [anyone welcome to suggest anything, I'm still looking].
If I factory reset I will post any results of what happens.

As I've stated in another forum thread started by the above user, I have had a lot of the aformentioned problems and worse.
We've both described our issues in that thread and as I've stated I'm growing so weary. I had my PC fail on me last year and spent all year chasing warranties and RMA's and having to coax companies, who are legally bound to do what I am having to beg and threaten before they do it. Then this year I get a defective OnePlus One and One Plus themselves ignore, deflect, delay and misdirect me. I've had the phone 10 months now and I've been complaining and fighting for 6 months with the above problems and I was only just offered an RMA (or RRR as they call it) this month. That's 6 months of begging, pleading and then demanding. Safe to say I have sought third party legal advice and will be taking this as far as it can go.
I would make contact with them as soon as you can regarding these issues or they will only use that against you.

5.1.9 observations..

I'm new to the OP6 coming over from the 5t. I was on the beta 12version OS on the5t which worked perfect for me.
5.1.9 is the only version I have had with the 6
But I have noticed:
- WiFi is hard to connect at times..have to reboot phone from time to time
- scrolling is slow and uneasy not smooth at all
- cameras auto focus is very slow at times, also I have to hit the shutter button several times before it will take photo
- from time to time won't recognize my fingerprint...
I don't know if it's just me or others are having the same issues with 5.1.9?? I hope they fix these issues with the next update...

No issues here. Try reflash the ROM through update settings

No issues so far
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A6003 mit Tapatalk

Some of your observations I've read before. Try the 5.1.9 thread.

Except the camera sucks, from focus to take good pictures all the rest i also don`t have problems...

I don't really use the camera on any device I've had, so can't really comment on those issues.
However, over all being new to OnePlus myself first one I got the 6 I have to say the software on this device sucks. It's buggy, it's outdated and overall a complete and utter mess.
Wifi issue that I see and many others complaining about is that it constantly wants to stick with a weaker signal rather than handing off to the stronger one. I know this is an easy fix in an update by raising the threshold as on one of my Asus devices we had this problem and people were complaining and they rolled out a fix in a couple of weeks.
I also along with many others have networking issues where the device does not want to connect after being on Wifi or in an area where there is no signal at all. Upon exiting such area the phone just refuses to reconnect to the network and you have to use the airplane mode on/off in order to get it to reconnect. A few times, I've had to remove the sims completely to reconnect.
A few times, the phone has just frozen for a few seconds, no matter what you hit it doesn't do anything and in a few occasions the phone goes completely black like it is off and then comes back.
Sometimes you have to enter the password in a few times for it to accept, but I've also had the same issue with the fingerprint sensor.
Their dialer is complete and utter rubbish. Call drops, call waiting disconnects all callers, good luck with conference calling, they've disabled call recording. And because of the convoluted way they've done their settings 3rd party apps can't operate fully because they can't access the settings and return error messages.
IMO this phone is all hype with no substance behind it. If they don't fix their issues and quick this company will go the way of others, burning hot and heavy in the beginning with people singing praises how great it is and a year from now won't be a blip on anyone's radar.

Mate just reflash or return it. No one else has these issues. So either you are exaggerating or your ROM/device is faulty.

How can you even say that? Their own forum is filled with complaints with networking issues, wifi issues, dropped calls, fingerprint and password not working. OnePlus even acknowledged the networking issues and said there was a fix in a past update. So you're saying that there is no issues even though OnePlus admitted there was?
Noone? Really, every single other person that has the OP6 doesn't have any issue at all? Clearly others do have the same issues, otherwise people wouldn't be complaining about them.

None of those problems.....so maybe something you install/done is affecting the phone.
Im a minimalist, so i did install basic things....everything works flawless....except the stupid camera...

Use the fastboot roms in here and reflash the entire phone. Something is definitely wrong with your device. Let's just hope it's a software issue.

Thanks for the input from all.... I think I might know the issue.... I'm rooted and I can't remember if I did a wipe dalvik/cache at the end... I'll reload it later today...

I have had this issue before but never really had it often enough to consider it an issue until it was explained like this. I thought it was just my network (metro pcs) so I never really gave it much thought. Usually, I reboot and thought that was the only way to get it working again. Now I will try airplane mode. Thanks for this info!

I wouldn't use the one plus forum as a reference. The vast majority of issues are from Indian members and most issues aren't issues at all. They tend to have VERY high battery expectations, refuse to keep their apps updated, and seem to lack the general knowledge of how to search for solutions before starting redundant threads.
That's not a knock on the Indian population as a whole. Just what I've noticed over the last couple months there.

I'm well aware of what their forum is like, this isn't my first rodeo. I'm educated enough to realize that a lot of the complaints on that board are coming from a certain segment and 70% of it is utter and complete nonsense. But if you're going to throw out the baby with the bath water then you miss some real and crucial things. And just because a board is littered with ridiculous questions and a bunch of fanboys doesn't mean there aren't some problems and "no one" has issues. In particular when OnePlus already has admitted to some issues. One should also not assume anyone with a problem doesn't know how to update their device, or has tons of apps installed, and overall doesn't know how to use a device. You know what they say about assumptions.

I think you shouldn't take the 'no one else' part too literally. I guess you - and other who apparently reported the same issues - are unfortunately enough part of a small group with a lot of issues with their device. But most of us aren't experiencing these problems and just have a great device with great software.
Hopefully you can work out what the solution is.
