What a great phone! I bought one for the time between selling my Samsung Note 5 and picking up the new S7, however it's ticking all the boxes for me! I might even use it for a while until Oppo release a higher end 820 Qualcomm handset.
Very impressed!!
My positives are:
1. tap to wake
2. decent battery life
3. No lag
4. great screen - very bright - touch on the cold side
5. good 4G and wifi speeds
6. expandible memory with option of dual sim
7. Android 5.1.1
Negs
1. no backlights for the hardware buttons
2. no 5ghz wifi - seems only to pick up 2.4ghz wifi routers

I have purchased this phone also, after breaking the screen on my samsung galaxy note. I have to say I'm very impressed with this phone.
Here are my (+)
1. great build quality premium look and feel
2. Excellent performance no lag whatsoever
3. wide bands good overall coverage 4g and wifi
4. good colours, bright screen
5. I like the custom software colorOS very responsive.
6. Easy to grip and 5" size is best to keep in your pocket without compromising screen estate
7. radio
(-)
1. 720P not very noticeable still enjoyable to view videos and games
2. some apps have push notification issues like linkedin and ebay

+ and - as mentioned above
even only 2500 mah, really amazed with battery life :good::good:
ColorOS really smooth :good::good:

I have seen in numerous reviews, they say that oppo F1 have only Accelerometer, proximity, compass, Magnetic Sensors but no gyro. But after I bought the mobile I have seen that is equipped with Gyroscope Sensor named OEM pseudo gyro. This sensor is not accurate, but gets the job done. Many people ask for gyro because its needed for occasional VR.

I thought if you have a compass then gyro is activated, how do you use that feature?
I'm not sure if i should open another thread about this, but i was wondering if anyone is experience push notification issues with some apps on the Oppo F1. For e.g. I don't get notifications from the ebay app nor linkedin, or some of the chat apps. Also viber doesn't seem to add or sync with my contacts but i do get messages and calls. I would like to get other peoples thoughts.

No gyro is another sensor. It can sense rotation. Its used in vr headset to measure head rotation. Recently some manufacturers implement virtual gyroscope which uses software emulation using Accelerometer & Magnetic compass for rotation tracking. It minimizes cost. I think similar supplementation hase been done in oppo f1.

does that make the oppo f1 compatible with the samsung vr headset? or other thirdparty units?

i found dlna ,tv out /mhl not supported

Just bought one and is still on the way from optus online shop. Anyways, did you guys feel a need of a custom ROM or the stock one is decent enough?

The F1 is locked up tighter than a politician's point of view. No easy way to root and so difficult to customise.

Also want to point out that optus version has a snapdragon 615 not a 616. Still rapid processor and miles quicker than the s3 I was using. The optus Model number is F1f .

Stock is fine, I found the keyboard annoying, so downloaded google keyboard and sorted.

my HTCM9 died suddenly for no reason at all, its been in service a month and still in service so I just bought the F1 two days ago.
My positives for my F1 are:
1. Octacore
2. decent battery life - especially considering its just got a 2500 mAh battery.
3. Not much lag
4. PRICE
5. Looks (almost like a flagship)
6. external SD card - up to 128Gb.
7. Dual SIM
8. Qualcomm Snapdragon
9. Not hot at all (My HTC M9 was so much hotter!)
10. feels good in the hand (size, shape, dimension)
11. Did I say Value for money is very good? !
12. Comes with screen protector pre-installed already
13. OPPO shop gave me a free phone case (cheap but good)
14 the 3 GB RAM handles most you need
15 in headphone sound quality is very good for the price you pay.
16. Warranty seems ok.
17. AppOps equivalent (App Permissions to control each app is inbuilt app can be activated via Security Centre App)
Negs
1. no backlights for the hardware buttons
2. ColourOS is a bit buggy . Some app notifications on status bar appear then disappear. weird.
3. ClolourOS has NO full disk encryption (couldnt find it at all in settings, let me know if you do) - but it does have encryption of each app available by default app Security Centre>Privacy permissions>"App Encryption".
4. No root available and no custom roms available at this moment.
5. if using nano sim and SD card together, you MUST put a micro SIM card adapter (with your nano sim) in the first slot and SD card in second slot. ie .If you only have nano sim, and you want to use SD card also, you must use a nano sim to micro sim adapter in the first slot, and then put your SD card in the second slot. OR if you dont use SD card then you can put your nano sim sideways in the second slot without need for any adaptor, but then you cant put your SD card in the first slot.. (why OPPO not include a SIM card adapter in the box since many people have nano sim card now and SD card also?) Lucky the shop gave me one so i could test everything in store before I took it away. They wasted like an hour in the shop trying to figure it out.
6. its not a flagship phone
7 default keyboard. hated it. switched to another keyboard app.
8 [screen a bit too sensitive, eg when using handsfree call (phone on speaker) the speaker goes on and off , if you put the phone a bit too close to your face or if your hand touches the top by accident. Never had a phone that did that. (anyone know how to make it handsfree speaker permanent during calls let me know)]< Update- FIXED via the hard to find setting>gesture&motion>smartcall>"switch to speaker by motions"> click "OFF".
9 headphone ear plugs suck. not comfortable in ears. (why they didnt provide the small foam cushions that cost next to nothing?)
10 external speakers not loud enough.
11. THE sim/sd card tray is VERY fragile on the edges, mine bent first time I slid the tray in with Simcard and SD card, you have to get it perfect fit before you push in, otherwise, if the tip catches, it bends very easily on the edge. (I just pushed it back to shape and its fine now, but they made it a bit too soft).
if you want to get a Samsung phone for half the price, but almost same capability, then OPPO is the one. I would recommend the F1 to anyone looking to buy a phone in that budget.

just bought F1 today and already encounter a problem..oppo F1 doesn't allow u to move apps from phone to sd card... any way to fix this problem?

another problem...who is the idiot who designed the ColorOS without an app drawer? Usually if we tap the home button twice it goes to app drawer on other roms. where is the app drawer??? in beginning, i mistakenly moved some default app icons off home screen/launcher and now I can't replace them back? wtf? and I now cant launch them directly eg "double-exposure" and "expert mode" from icons.. I am beginning to find colorOS a little annoying.

Install Nova launcher or smart launcher problem solved.

Not really. I had already tried Nova Launcher before, but the app drawer on Nova Lancher does not show the default OPPO F1 icon for " "double-exposure" and "expert mode" and few others. Another "App Drawer Free" app on PlayStore shows the icons but you can't launch the app from the icons.( It's only for the paid version.) I personally think ColorOS is just silly not to have an app drawer. (unless there is another way to access the default app drawer from ColorOS and I dont know about it).

Hello, and thanks for the review.
Do you (or others) confirm that you can use a SD card and a micro Sim card, at the same time?
I don't have a nano Sim, just a micro Sim. Will I be able to use the phone with a micro SIM while there is a SD card in the other slot?
Or do I need to buy a nano sim to be able to also use the SD card?
Thanks in advance

option A: Micro Sim >Slot 1, SD card >Slot 2 >is OK
option B: Micro SIm >Slot 1 and NanoSIM (put in sideways with no adapter)>Slot 2, but NO SD card. >is OK
Option C: Nano Sim ONLY, with NO adapter,then > MUST put Nano Sim in slot 2 sideways, But then you cant put your SD card in. (ie Sd card only fits in Slot 2. And the Nano SIM only fits in slot 2, but you can't have BOTH nano sim and SD card in slot 2). ie Slot 1 can ONLY put micro SIM size card.
Option D: Nano Sim AND SD card (up to 128Gb) then> Nano sim + "Micro SIM Adapter" >Slot 1, and then SD card >must be in slot2> is OK (you may need to fiddle the adapter to make sure it fits in perfectly - tip - slide tray in SLOWLY)
hope this helps.

[Q] LG P500: microSDHC & phone display issues

I bought a new microSDHC today - 32GB Class 10, A-data - because I'm selling my iPod and want to put my 23GB of music onto my phone.
The problem I have is that since I put the new one in, my phone sometimes (well... often) becomes unresponsive after the screen turns off. Even the power button doesn't do anything, and I have to take out the battery and put it back in just to turn the phone back on.
Has anyone else experienced this? As you can imagine it's incredibly frustrating. Using the GTR-X 5.8 ROM (based on CM7.2).
Iam sorry to say that the P500 only Supports SD Cards up to 16GB with Class 6. All above can (but not must, its a little bit wird) resolved in strange kind of Errors like in youre case.
That's interesting - where did you find that information? I did some research before buying the card and nothing indicated that. It's working fine now though, I just fiddled with it a bit and made sure it was aligned properly.
Well try this and see if it helps
First use normal less capacity sd, if you have otherwise skip this
1. Reflash the rom or any other better rom(there is better version of gtr rom)
Now put back 32 gb sd
2.download app sd booster from play store
3.set cache 2048 kb
4. check now if everythings fine

There is no relation between the SD card and the phone not responding issue.
To isolate the issue you can remove the SD card and try again.
By the way, LG Optimus One supports upto 32 GB size SD cards. So there is no harm to use 32GB SD cards in your case.
If it is the issue, this could be with your custom ROM update.
You can try the PAC-MAN 19.9.9 JellyBean 4.2.1 recent update. Camera, display and more feaures there. I am using it currently. Except the battery drain issue

second SIM or memory slot??

I have a UK moto G 16gb. You can see on the bottom side (under back cover) diagonally opposite normal sim slot a 'shape' of a card slot on the inner plastic back. It is filled in, but resembles an SD or micro sim slot.
I just viewed these teardown pics:
http://www.areamobile.de/b/2267-teardown-das-moto-g-und-die-speicher-frage-update#g.2267.4.3800
Here you can see there is indeed a card slot, on the mainboard where this filled in Opening is. I know there is a Dual SIM variant of this phone. Could it be that ALL Moto G's have the hardware but it is just software disabled??
The link also finds where a standard SD memory card has been used but is sealed under a case on the mainboard. This suggests we 'may' be able to upgrade the internal memory at some point with some tinkering. Will require a brave person to try first though as will possibly destroy the phone. Shows how MOTO saves some money using SD card on board rather than a flash memory die.
This one yet again. It is *not* an SD card seen in that misguided German teardown, it's an eMMC chip and no you won't be able to upgrade it - search the forum, e.g.:

I took one of these apart to try and work out the rattly vibrate.
I believe that the second SIM slot is an empty frame soldered onto the board in order to support the battery completely. I couldn't see any pins in it to contact a SIM card, or any eject mechanisms. You can see here I believe the differences between the two SIM sockets

@helppme
There is a Dual Sim version of the Moto G for sale in Brazil but our normal Moto G phones lack some parts (aswell as a second IMEI).

SD unsupported Error

First i have a very bigggg complaint to Samsung. i like samsung phones and using them for a while now but since from galaxy S6 (which by the way is an excellent phone) i have big complain of sim tray!!! like why you made it out of plastic and so fragile? just cannot understand a expensive phone with metal and glass and samsung save money by making plastic sim trays? wow... like now thats cost cutting. Samsung please grow and make durable aluminum sin trays.. agree?
now come to the point i broke my galaxy S7 sim tray and got another one from local dealer ( as getting genuine is rather impossible from where i am) and everything works fine upto SIM card, but as i put my SD card i got error that unsupported SD card please set up and formate. i said ohh ok.. lets do it. phone start formatting it and jump to 20% start and after few seconds i got error message. (image attached) as partition error something. But Cards ( as i tried multiple cards to check) are perfectly fine in other devices, computers). format with Ex-fat, FAT32.. but same error. any solution please. tray issue or its general S7 problem. but Sim working very fine in new tray.
any help will be highly appreciated
i have tried stock nougat, custom roms but same issue.
Current OS- stock Marshmallow with CF-auto root (battery is horrible in Nougat)
Seems pretty obvious if the card works in other devices that the problem is the S7 / Tray that you broke
But sim is working seem half tray is ok and upper half broken?

i dont think so. framework is stock and stock support SD cards by default. may be some other issue.

Will the hybrid Sim slot hack work for xzp ?

I'm using the Z3 DS D6633 with 2 full SIM card slots and separate SD card slot. So thinking about changing it to XZP but do not want to loose one SIM card because hybrid slot. Anybody tried the hack (gluing the SIM card to SD card with thin tape) ? Some phone models work with it some do not due to hardware/software lock of simultaneous SD/SIM usage.
bump
Yea, just use some old unneeded SIM and the same SD card. It is interesting to know :
a) is it works ?
b) is it hardware lock (so can't be avoided)
c) is it software lock (can be easily hacked using xposed or so)
I do not have the phone so can't check by my own.
Just got the phone, checked. Seems like hardware issue - nothing works, if inserted both, nor SD nor SIM card ;(
SD glued sim that I have works with Galaxy S8 and LG G6 but not XZP. It will detect SD but not sim in this case.
Bad news...

Yu Fly F8 - Anyone else tried this model?

Hi,
Apologies for posting here, but I have not found much on this phone and this thread seemed closer than any other! I got one from Coolicool for less than 90Euros and it seems a pretty good spec and nice in the hand.
5.5 Inch IPS Sharp Screen, 1920*1080 Pixel
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 1.5GHz Octa Core
- Support Touch ID
- 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, Support 32GB TF Card Expansion
- 13 MP Back Camera + 8 MP Front Camera
- Android 6.0 System
- 3050mAh Battery
- Dual SIM: NANO SIM + NANO SIM / TF Card (Another SIM Slot Can Be Used in Combination with a NANO SIM Card or a TF Card)
- Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz, WCDMA 850/900/1900/2100MHz, FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7, Support 2G & 3G & 4G LTE Networ
For me main negatives are the Android 6 and the non-removable battery so looking for ways that may allow a new ROM to 7 or beyond but can't see any posts anywhere let alone a community.
For my FiL it will not be a big problem but I thought as a base it might be a good low cost phone for me next time.
Any pointers very welcome!

Hi!
It is a piece of sh.t. Do not buy. At a first look it looks very good and fast, but:
- it doesn't have nor event LED indicator nor charge LED
- in settings - about phone it says Android 6.0 but all programs say Android 5.1.1 (if manufacturer plays with cheating it is a very bad alarm)
- if you install another launcher (I tried Nova Launcher) and then reboot phone it will always ignore default launcher selection and revert back to original launcher
- there is no community and so there will be no new ROMs
- if you use 2 SIM cards you will have only 11 Gb free memory because one SIM card share slot with microSD
- at every reboot it suggests to set settings for SIM card like if you installed new SIM card (annoying)
- if you will do factory reset your phone will also format emulated internal SD - bye-bye your backups and all your things you wanted to save before making factory reset.
Cheap smartphone which feels solid and fast. It's indeed not running Marshmallow and there is no root method yet available.
port rom please
