Does OnePlus One currently have any problems/bugs or have they all been fixed?
Just the usual yellow band lottery, dubious support, and the mere act of getting an invite. So, realistically, it's just the yellow. If there's nothing else you can avoid any dealings with them. I have a minor yellow band but isn't a deal breaker.

Software is good - CM11S is fine in my experience, as are many other ROMs. Lollipop Alpha builds already showing promise in both speed and stability.

I'd say anyone looking to pick one up that it's still a good buy although there are plenty more options on the table of you're willing to pay more or spec down. And I guess that's why they're still in demand.

I bought one to replace my (too small) iphone 5 and love it.

Huge screen plenty of color, contrast and resolution. Battry life is better then my 5, widgets make a lot of things a lot simpler and quicker .

Price is the half of simular apple offerings or 1/3 under anything others brands offer (even chinese).

I have no yellow banding or any of the other reported issues some people seem to have.

The only thing that disapoints me a bit is the camera, although its better then what I had on my iphone 5 its far from what people described it in reviews. Its mediocre at best any high end from other regular brands is going to do better .

But all in all very happy with it

I ran ColorOS for a while and the camera was very good. Way better than on CM11S so it shows there's plenty of room for improvement there. But yes, it's nowhere near as bad as some reviews made out.

Coming from a 5S and now using a Note 4, there are small trade-offs here and there (dull screen in sunlight, buttons have dim backlight, iffy camera software, bezels, but it's hard to complain or get near at the price, unless you're in China or import a Mi4, MX4 or U3 and avoid taxes.

1) What about stutters every now and then? I heard this was an issue.
2) What about unresponsive touch screen?

I had almost definitely decided on Moto X, however the price tag is just too much.

Can't say I've come across either in the 4 months I've had the phone.

1. CM11S is fairly close to stock Android so it's light and fluid rather than jerky and sluggish.

2. Never had response issues or the ghost touches some others reported, but that's not to say they don't exist.

Moto X is also a good phone by all accounts so don't think you'd go wrong with that.

Stutters I havent seen as an issue, unresponsive touch screen i Have but most reports are older. I dont think you have to worry about this .

Are any of the Lollipop ROM's for the OnePlus One stable enough to use a daily driver yet ? If so please link.

Motorola is usually pretty good about sales. You could probably expect a decent one for Black Friday

I have an invite, it expires in 1 2horus or so, just saw it now in my e-mail.
This is probably the best so far although it's still early days.

Personally, I didn't have any issues that would stop me using it if I wanted to. Just some small niggly things that are in the dev threads.

Official CM nightlies due to start in a week or two so things should be ramping up soon.

Found my OPO redundant after the Note 4.

They are useless .. well, their website is..

Got two invites for wife and dad and whilst I was able to claim the invites - which starts the 24hr clock - the order process never finishes as the site is overloaded.

Trying since yesterday with only 8hrs left ..

So even with invite - you may still draw a blank ..

Two invites expired due to the inability to order. So even if you got an invite, you may still don't have a phone due to their ***** website.

Won't bother asking their support, I have given up on OPO now. Will get my wife and dad a Moto G as well now (or Note, will see about pricing).

Side note. The developer edition moto x from 2013 is $249 on eBay for the 32GB version

Lot of invites available and almost nobody want them.



Very easy to get an invite now.


So much for all your hyperbole and rhetoric throughout the year telling us how they would be selling millions and millions and ramping up for demand reaching a million a month ......

You've been suspiciously quiet since they actually released sales figures .... And now demand isn't even there for an invite ... Bless

Awesome battery life. Way better than my previous G2, which was the best I ever saw.

I wish I could have bought the OnePlus One.

Maybe when the Two comes out if it's smaller as the company suggested.

I was undecided between Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Moto X and this monster. Finally, I got an OPO 2 days ago. So far it has been EXCELLENT!

Amazing screen, amazing battery, amazing software, no bugs whatsoever, no yellow tint, no ghost touches, 64 GB storage, nice camera. Overall just stellar device. I think I made the right decision.

Already got the Moto G myself and ordered the two more I needed for family.

The two invites I had expired. Couldn't order a single phone due to the site being overloaded at all times.

Effin useless.
