False Toaster posted:I've noticed that in direct sunlight (never in fluorescent) that my S6 screen has dark lined spotchy stains on the screen? I don't know if this is related to me trying to apply a skinomi screen protector, probably is. Not sure if the spray solution, which I applied very little screwed with the screen somehow. But it's relatively annoying and I don't know how to get rid of it. This is normal, you're actually seeing parts of the LCD.

zolthorg posted:But what has actually been omitted from the phone? NFC and NFCwallet apps do nothing for me. I have my own vehicle, rent, rarely use air/public travel options and carry my actual payment cards in my actual wallet. A functional chipset. The Snapdragon 810 has serious overheating issues that require excessive throttling to keep under control and Qualcomm has not yet figured out how to fix it. Also the company is run by a bunch of loving morons.

r0ck0 posted:Is that Qi wireless charging and how big of a grain of salt should I take with that leak? The MT1388 actually supports both Qi and PMA (ex. Duracell Powermat) charging. So that's actually pretty cool. I'm a little wary of an O-LED screen instead of IPS but otherwise yeah, those specs rock. Big-arse battery with a moderately powered chipset and reasonable sized display should be awesome for battery life and the camera sensor is supposedly very good.

Lavender Philtrum posted:Hahaha, no headphone jack? Somehow I overlooked that. I guess they just expect you to use bluetooth all the time? The phone comes with an adapter to use the USB port as the headphone out. Fiddly as gently caress. The 7A at the same price from that seller is probably a better deal but software support is probably going to be crap.

In our continuing series on how to kill all possible interest in your product, USA Today posted an interview with Carl Pei (co-founder of Oneplus). Best parts: He admits that NFC was cut because not a lot of people use it these days, but it will be important in 12-18 months. His reasoning? "By that time people will have moved on to the next device." He also mentioned that Oneplus is coming out with a second model this year, one that may or may not have higher specs than the Oneplus Two. His first response when he saw the new prototype was "holy s--- that's going to be my daily driver" So, just to recap - he thinks NFC is going to really important very soon but he thinks everyone will have bought a new phone in a year and a half, and that a second phone is launching this year with better specs. Join us next week for another installment of "How to Kill a Product Launch in the Shortest Amount of Time Possible" or "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Howler Monkeys that Live in My Brain and Scream at Me All the TIme" http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2015/08/02/oneplus-carl-pei-interview/30947799/

Tsyni posted:I've read the last few pages but it hasn't really come up much. What's the word on the OnePlus 2? "Piece of poo poo from a company that doesn't know their collective asses from a hole in the ground". The phone is going to use a SoC that has serious overheating issues that don't look like they're going to be solved any time soon and the company is run by a bunch of loving idiots. Look at one of the new Motorola devices instead. gently caress hardware keyboard chat, "Don't buy a OnePlus device" should be in the thread title.

LionYeti posted:So I need a phone rather soon before the iphone 6s gets announced and causes my trade value to plummet. My priorities are price under 300 unlocked, Battery Life, Camera, day to day performance in that order. I've been looking at the Idol 3, the new moto g seems nice but that camera seems abysmal and that's a possible dealbreaker. Also whats goon experience with swappa? The Idol 3 is probably a decent choice if picture quality is important, and the UI doesn't have too much crap bolted on to it. It also has a decent SOC as well. You could also look at the Lenovo K3 Note. It also has good SOC and a decent camera as well as a good screen, though the battery life isn't great (though it should still last you more than a day on moderate-heavy use).

If you get the Idol 3, just make sure to get the 5.5" screen version as apparently the 4.7 is somewhat underpowered.

Captain Yossarian posted:I think power, screen and features are nice, but the battery life was just hot garbage from what I remember of the reviews. I too would be interested in an "updated" review From what I've read LG had to seriously throttle the SOC in patches to keep it from overheating and it helped battery life. For the price you're getting flagship specs with a midrange processor at this point.

Captain Yossarian posted:See that makes it MORE appealing to me. The most processor intensive thing I do is the awful app or that fallout shelter game. I guess pictures? I don't disagree. By all accounts the Flex 2 is otherwise a decent phone - good screen, good camera and even with the throttled SOC it performs pretty well. The camera is also the same one from the G3, so it's pretty good as well (and has the funky laser focus). Plus with the price plummeting it may be a good buy, as long as you're fine with LG's UI or willing to install your own launcher.
