Hi guys.. I am very close to purchasing a OnePlus One 64 GB version for $375. (Craigslist)
I am coming from a Google nexus 4. While on paper the One looks much better, I am not sure in real world because I've never held one.
Those that switched from nexus 4, what are your thoughts? Are you satisfied, any regrets?

Thank you for the reassurance.
I've read that it has a lot of bugs and force closes, but some say cyanogen put out an update and it fixes all of it. Is that true?

I don't know about other peoples experiences , but I have had some force closes but not different from my nexus 4, mainly unoptimized apps
Nearly all bugs have been fixed, but the multi touch is still iffy, it is 100% software ... Not hardware related because with a reboot it back to normal
( zooming in to photos will cause the photo to violently zoom and unzoom , flicking it self to another photo)
This is on latest stock, I hope lollipop fixes this even tho it happened only twice for me

The only issue is they may not honor the warranty if something does go wrong with the hardware in the future since you are not the original purchaser, although I don't know what their policy is, it is worth looking into.
Coming from a Nexus 4, this phone is a huge upgrade. I actually came from a Nexus 5 and I love this phone so much, it is nicer in every way, so I think you will love this device.
I would just get an invite and purchase thru the company though, will come to $364 or so shipped, which means cheaper and brand new.
At this point in the game, there is no reason for you to pay MORE than retail.

I have zero of any of these issues and have had the phone for a few months. Yellow banding is overblown and I don't think any of the new build models have them (mine never did). Ghost touches and signal issues? I've not had those one time.
EVERY phone will have some complaints, even... wait for it... the iPhone!
I bought the phone, and sent 2 invites to friends who bought the phone, and no complaints at all. I don't run stock though either, currently I use Carbon ROM nightlies and could not be happier.
Thank you for the information.
What build number should I look in the settings that tells me it's a newer build and not older.

No idea tbh, but just curious why you want to pay over retail for CL instead of getting it from OnePlus?
Looks like someone just posted up some invites here

That's a good point, but you can get an invite thru G+ etc, if you really want one.
No matter which way you go, the phone is solid and I think you'll be happy with the purchase.
Finally got an invite... expires soon.

Hey guys,
Since I already posted this in another thread, I thought I would post a new topic just in case anyone misses it.
I've got a friend working in Three who is able to get yourself the S4 at £35 a month but can also give you a £30 credit and some extra minutes too :good:
If anyone is interested then feel free to give me a message
Just out of curiosity, has anyone bought the phone from Three yet? How was your experience?
BTW this isn't just exclusive to the S4, there's other phones too.
was due for an upgrade from three, got the £35/month 500 min unlimited data also got a home signal box for free as i get bad indoor coverage.

After a few PM's with several other members I thought I'd post how this works...
I simply forward your phone number and name to someone who works in Three's direct sales department based in Glasgow. They'll contact you at a specified time and discuss the phone, the plan and the offer with you. It is up to you whether you want to place your order right there and then or place the order at another time. The order must be placed over the phone however in order to qualify for the deal as this is the only way they can add the credit and minutes to the account.
Contact me for more information if you are interested :good:
As for why I'm posting this here, let's just say I owe this person a favor
Basically DarkStones mate will be getting a commison from each of you. Which I personally think is a nice thing to do, just a shame im mates with my local store manager so already have mine ordered.
Well played to you though mate!!

Not personally no, but I've heard from others that it works pretty well
Just a heads up guys, from 26th April onwards, there will be a £49 upfront cost for the phone if you buy it online or phone into inbound sales.
Of course I can get this waived for you even after this date :good: Also, this is a new contract and not an upgrade to your existing contract for those that are interested.

You wouldn't get the extra minutes and TCB may take a while to track. The credit can be applied immediately to the account by ordering directly from Three via myself. An additional £30 credit can also be added to a friend or family Three account if you have their phone number too.

Original Quote by OnePlus Admin Carl : 2014 Q2 Production Update Today at 9:01 PM:
When we started OnePlus, one of the first things we announced was that our product would be available internationally in Q2 2014. We're well on track of achieving that.
However, after our product announcement, we realized that far more people wanted the One than what we originally anticipated. Over the past few days, we have been frantically adjusting our production schedule to make sure that as many people possible can buy the One, as soon as possible.
In our updated plan, we prioritized for two aspects; time to market and availability of the high capacity model (in that order). We now know that people want the 64GB Sandstone Black far more than the 16GB Silk White, but we also know that more than everything, people just want to get their hands on the device as soon as possible.
What we've done is dramatically increase the amount of 64GB Sandstone Black models in our production plans, while producing 16GB Silk White as long as they don't delay the time to market for Sandstone Black.
Our production schedule is as follows:
Ready now - 100 for phone smashers
Mid to late May - Larger batch 16GB Silk White for the first batch of invites
Early June - Larger batch 64GB Sandstone Black
Later in June - Increased general availability, people who want it should be able to get an invite without much trouble in June

I think this message is clear enough and i hope it will not be delayed more to get on of this piece!!!
Cheers

Yeah but LG G3 and S5 prime is going to cost 600$/euro at least(like every other their flagship). Which is 2 times more than Oneplus One. I think Nexus 6 will be released later after August but who knows...

To my understanding no retailer will ever sell the one plus one. You need to buy it directly from them. Though that's at least a couple months away.

Too late for this phone, but mobile phone insurance might be a good idea for the next one
The only way I can think to get a new one for free or nearly free is to get one on a subsidised contract, but then you'll be paying it off over 12, 18 or 24 months.

I've been wanting a Nexus 5 for a long time but I haven't had the cash to get a new one. I came across one on CL today with a cracked screen (click for picture) for $125. Is it worth it? He said it's only been used for about 2 weeks (which was 2 weeks ago) and a new screen will run me $100. So that puts me out $225. Is it worth it?
Depends on if it's a legit phone or not. Many people have been scammed into buying a stolen phone or the imei is turned in after purchase for insurance fraud.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but blacklisting a stolen phone is carrier specific, right? I'm on ATT and ATT doesn't carry the nexus 5 so the device will work, regardless of blacklisted IMEI, yes?

Blacklisted phones are usually country wide, all carriers.
And a phone with a broken screen is certainly being sold as is. Well that means anything else could be wrong too....and since its as is....oh well. Outta luck. Lol
Save your money up....buy one that works before you shell out anything. I know what you're looking at is cheap....but if it never works, its money burnt. You only need 100 or so more for a working phone...based in the $225 you expect to spend on this one. ?
My fiance just bought the OnePlus One on eBay for a cool $400, no shipping. 64GB. Very nice deal, no yellow bands, no WiFi issues. She loves it and I admit, I do like it. A lot. However, she activated it yesterday on TMO and it doesn't seem to be getting LTE signals. I was told the back of the Chinese variants do not have the CYANOGEN branding, but hers does. Is there something I'm missing?
No idea... But LTE working fine here out of the box. Make check APN?

I'm still waiting on mine ^.^ Having played with hers (and having an HTC m7 and Sony Z3 to compare it to), it's quite the nice device! Glad her first Android experience is one of these w/o issues. She loves the screen size.

The obvious question is: does Tmo provide LTE in your area?
