I have one invite to use if somebody wants it, I need to use it up within 24 hours of claiming it. Also you need to be able to purchase it within 24 hours of your claiming the invite. PM me if you're interested.

Edit: invite is claimed

Hate seeing my posts one after the other, but OnePlus is selling their phone right now without invites for the next 2 hours (at least here in NA). *Posted as of 1am EST.

Edit: No longer open for buying now.

I would probably get it if it weren't for the lack of an SD card slot. It is one of those small things that after a row of small things just doesn't quite get me there.

That and I think the battery is fixed which is a bigger deal.

**Dantrag** · 2015-02-11 08:23

Need more than 64GB?

**octopus** · 2015-02-11 08:58

And the OPO is a phone with one of the best battery life so not having a replaceable battery is not as much of a deal imo.

But I like the white one ; ;

EDIT: You know it seems like the only differences that matter in the OnePlus Two is the newer processor and the 200MAH battery increase. Everything is exactly the same except for the slightly newer GPU. All three of those things together actually mean a good deal for battery life.

Oh, and I guess the camera too, but the three megapixels as a number don't really mean anything.

OnePlus announced that Lollipop upgrades will be coming by the end of March. There will be either an OTA version with CyanogenMod or a version that is their new custom Oxygen ROM build. I'm curious if Lollipop is really a better OS, I know my boyfriends phone just upgraded to it and he's been frustrated by all the over-complicated new features. For example he couldn't get his alarm to turn on with the ringer turned off without changing these stupid unnecessary priority notification settings, and his phone calls have trouble with people hearing one another.

They also started selling power banks to charge your phone.

And it looks like they're planning to announce some kind of handheld game device thing soon.

I don't know which OS I'd switch to, but I'll probably wait until a couple weeks after they're both released to make a decision. KitKat is still working great imo.

My phone has...issues... Google Play will RANDOMLY, FOR NOT FUCKING REASON, start playing music. WHILE I'M NOT TOUCHING THE FUCKING PHONE. My flashlight randomly turns on...

I'm thinking of switching to the S6 when it comes out...

That might be because of the "gestures". I had the issue where the Torch flashlight would constantly turn on when i took the phone out of my pocket. It's because the gesture to turn it on is a very simple swipe in front of the camera. Go into the gestures setting and try turning them off see if it helps.

**octopus** · 2015-03-20 08:49

Yeah that's the first thing I turned off lol

**Dantrag** · 2015-03-20 09:01

Pretty sure I turned them off. Will look now though.

My wife's phone started playing music while it was IN her bag <_<;

**Zeb** · 2015-03-21 12:41

Been using the flip cover. No problems here boss. >.>

I believe 5.1 is supposed to fix the new Silent mode (which is what killed his alarm) but my M7 is on 5.0.1 and doesn't have that problem because of Sense 6 so I can't confirm.

**Spicyryan** · 2015-03-24 10:22

Need a phone for Europe and China because yeah, Verison.

I haven't actually looked to see if there is a band difference between the Chinese/Normal versions of the phone, but I think I have settled on getting the OPO.

I wanted the G2 just for the OIS (I like to take shots while walking to avoid looking like "that guy"), but the OPO is just so much better, and cheaper than an off contract G3 which is soon to be the G4 which I will probably just make my stateside phone because yeah, Verison.

Think I am a bit tired of Verison, CDMA sucks.

Is the only Sandstone case the Pelosi one?

**Spicyryan** · 2015-03-31 15:02

Ordered a 1+1 today, and yeah the only sandstone case is the Pelosi, but I don't trust it so I bought it and a Tudia dual slim case. I will swap between that and the sandstone given the situation. E.g. drinking gets the Tudia, and an airport gets the sandstone snap-on case.

My other issue with a case was that the logos are kewl and get covered up, and then I overpaid for this great time saving gem. The black one for the back of the white section of the Tudia, and the white one for the back of the black sandstone Pelosi.

Excited for a phone I can't even use domestically. >:D

**Gwynplaine** · 2015-04-01 11:01

Idk what the heck you're talking about with the covers. The cover I got from One Plus has the logo on the back. You do know that they offer accessories directly from them right?

Also today they announced they're selling a drone, if anybody likes that kind of thing.

Yeah, but those cases are terrible

I am talking about the sandstone feel. The Pelosi case mimics the feel of the back of the phone. None of the third party cases have the 1+ logo though and who could stand to hide that either? amirite?

That drone is super tiny too, and for $20 + $7 shipping it is more for the novelty of who it is from.

**Spicyryan** · 2015-04-02 08:43

I just got two invites (good for the next two days) if anyone wants one.
