Here's what I get buying a phone from a little Chinese company:
Gmail did not work when I first got the phone.
Oppo released a firmware update yesterday, which fixed the Gmail issue.
However, the firmware introduced a new issue: SMS now does not work
Next update will probably break the phone dialer.
I suppose Oppo doesn't think the fundamental essence (phone/sms/email) of a phone is all that important.

That's not fair mate.
I just got mine today,and I like the phone very much.
If there are problems,the oppo team and forum members will get into it.
If you don't like the phone,sell it.
Don't give the people at oppo the blame,they are doing the best they can.
^^ I have to agree.. but my SMS has been working fine and always has :-/

Haha,Knite75 seriously? You should just mail me your Find 5 if you hate it so much.
Just pre-ordered the HTC One
This Oppo POS will hit the trash bin when the HTC One arrives.

Thanks,if Knite75 doesn't beat you to it and is feeling charitable,I'd appreciate that.
for a company that's as highly regarded for their top end AV equipment.... they'll get it right!
It kind of sounds like you weren't ready for this device anyway, it has been stated OVER AND OVER that the software is still in development and that it isn't perfect yet. However I'm fairly certain that I know what your problem is.
You might have put in the wrong area codes for your contacts, for instance in The Netherlands the number most people would use would be: 06xxxxxxxx instead the Find 5 requires it to be formatted like this: +316xxxxxxxx . It's a hassle but by syncing all of your contacts into google.com/contacts you can edit them within 10 minutes and never have any trouble with it again.
Another thing, try posting these kinds of issues on the OPPO Forums.. They are highly populated and they will help you find a solution for the stock firmware much faster than most of us on XDA could...
Please give your Find 5 to someone who will appreciate it more..
Thank you.
I have over 500 contacts, and most with multiple contact numbers.
I'll see if I can find the time to edit them all to the number format you suggested.
Strange, it was working okay, until the latest firmware update.

I'm guessing your american? In that case you shouldn't use +31 but you should use +1 I believe.
Here is a link that should help: http://www.happyzebra.com/dialing-codes/USA-country-code.php
Awesome, thank you!
Being a phone and all, you would think, Oppo would have the phone and SMS functions all working properly yesh?

I don't know why the phone has a problem discerning which country it should dial I just know it's having some trouble with it.
Might be as easy as writing a base code to change the 0 into the country code the user is currently in.
For international calls you will always have to use the +1/+31 notation.
Works fine here in US, They will get it fixed looked what all they fixed with update number+1.
I probably got my Find 5 well before just about anyone on this forum (devs and beta testers excluded) and since day 1 it's been the best phone I've ever owned/used. Obviously there were problems with the Chinese firmware, but those were quickly resolved. Oppo brings out an update just about every week for this phone. It's fast, slim, beautiful and powerful. And Oppo is a major manufacturer of electronics even in America, albeit for media electronics like bluray players etc. You obviously aren't using Google enough to resolve your problems, and your problems all sound like software related bugs, which can be easily resolved by updating to any official update of the international ROM. Oppo is not to blame.

I'm sorry if theres been a million of these posts but i seriously regret buying one and now its too late to send it back because its taken me over a month to realise how bad it really is.
Now dont get me wrong, its an amazing piece of kit but its horribly let down by terrible software.
Main features rarely work, Everyone is aware of the LAGGY text problem the terrible text input software, the fact that it loses data connection all the time and has to be restarted to work again, When i come out of standby alot it doesn't work and the buttons light up and i have to take the battery out.
The phone is unresponsive and laggy alot to name but a few.
Its driving me insane, i want to get rid of it but i cant, i'd sell it on but my girlfriend dropped it and scratched it devaluing it and TBH, i'd feel bad selling it to someone knowing how bad it is.
send it back to htc for repair. that **** don't happen with mine!!!!

indeed, only had mine around a fortnight but i havent had any real issues with the phone...not even the camera bugs that were supposed to be wrong with it...all my texts go through straight away same with emails n what not
think these devices are very hit n miss you either get a decent one or a sucky one
appears you got the latter, send it to htc, tell them you want a working version of the phone!
Yeah, send it back to HTC for servicing, it sounds like a **** batch
Tell me this, did you get your phone expecting the best thing ever, and it sort of was until these problems came about but you thought you would hold out for a fix/fixes. Still waiting out you lost your patience and want something that simply WORKS?
I'd agree with what people are saying, sending it back because really, it shouldn't be so unusable. Give them a sharp angry tone, it might quicken up the fixes release for the rest of us!

Like most of the people here I have not had a single problem with the device. I did however have to loosing connection but that was easily fixed because of a discrepancy between what the htc wizard set up as my internet connection and that which it really was. I'm on the dutch KPN network and instead of the portal being "portalmmm.nl" it should be "internet". No problem since.

yeah, i know, would expect an sms to be sent within 20minutes though!
was saying they're right next to eachother so i wasnt waiting for a reply from someone i would know exactly when the text came through.
i sent a text to my boss yesterday and i havent been sacked so im guess ing that one didnt go through either
Yeah well, When i say she dropped it, it was from 2ft and the phone would have been fine normally but it hit a stone with scratched it.
I had these problems before anyhow and i was waiting as someone said...for updates to fix it, there have been many updates with no fixes and any fixes i do get are user created ones!
I had an Iphone previously which worked fine and was a bit slow at times i didnt expect the HD2 to be the best thing ever but i expected it to be quicker than my iPhone, i couldnt foresee the problems the HD2 would have as ive had HTC's in the past with no problems and i rate the company very highly.
I'm just so dissapointed.
I got the mobile through Mobilephones direct with T-mobile contract, who do i get in contact with? Mobilephones direct? T-mobile or HTC?

Yeah man, factory reset's, updated the rom, tried all versions and still get same problems.
I'm another person who's had no problem with the device - and I am quite demanding. I have not made any changes to the device as delivered other than registry tweaks. I did run the HTC official quick-fixes, found they caused chaos and assiduously removed them all. All the software I've installed has been well-tried commercial stuff.
The only unusual thing I have to do is to disconnect data services before I go to bed, otherwise it won't sync with MyPhone...
i experience kinda the same problems, laggy texting or even no texting at all until restart, data connection dropping and again needing restart...
but still most of the times it works great, better than any previous phone i had. despite these little annoyances i still say i love my hd2 and wouldnt trade it for any iToy.
hd2 issue..tg01
i have the tg01 and i love it..i was having issue with the phone as well and discovered that if you install certain programs to the sd card it makes the phone laggy..and have to reboot....i had the spb shell 3.5 and i installed it on the sd card and it was laggy and the 3d accelerator didnt work..so i uninstalled and installed it on the phone and ...now the phone is very stable..havent had any issue...food for thought...
This thread is for all Pakistan based users. Please share your buying experience, accessories info, questions and queries regarding Network Provider based services and ofcourse your experiences with this awesome device!
To start off, I bought mine (Black, 32GB version) a couple of weeks ago, coming from the N4. Got it from a retailer I've gone to before in Zamzama, Karachi,. for Rs 72k. Quite a lot to spend on a smartphone, but I got a good price for my N4 and I really wanted this Homeshopping.pk apparently now has the silver version for under 70k on their site.
There's obviously no warranty but after speaking to Brightex Pakistan (official HTC distributors apparently) they plan on launching the One with warranty by June 22nd, or so they said. Mind you, the price for that will be quite a bit higher than the non warranty version but I suppose the peace of mind is worth it for a lot of people.
After having used the phone for a couple of weeks, and going through several charge cycles, my one and only issue with this phone - namely the battery life - has pretty much been laid to rest. Getting about 3 hrs on screen time and 20-24 hrs total time on a single charge with sync on which is great for me as it gets me through my full work day. Haven't found any glaring glitches yet (thankfully!) and the experience of using this device is completely brilliant!
Have NOT rooted and gone flash crazy yet as I want to enjoy the phone as is for a while. Am just waiting for the OTA 4.2.2 update to hit, hopefully soon The only 'accessory' I use right now is my own earphones with this set and they sound fantastic, much better than the included pair.
I've been looking for the MHL and OTG cables but haven't found them yet. If anyone has any info it would be appreciated.
Really curious to find out how many of us in PK have gotten this phone thus far so let us know y'all!

I'm thinking of getting the black but how is your experience with scratches and smudges? Is it really that bad? I'm coming from the black One X but I pretty much kept it in a minimal case most of the time.

Well so far I have not used a cover or case with it since I couldn't find any good quality, minimal, ones. There are no scratches yet but the back does get some fingerprints which you can wipe off. Admittedly since its new I have been careful enough with it but I do carry it in my jeans pocket. So far so good. I think if you're used to having a case on your phone this one will not disappoint you.
That said, I've noticed the camera lens picks up smudges much more than my previous phones. I use a lens cloth to wipe it down after a couple of days or when I can remember.
My other reasoning for not having a case/cover so far is that it just looks so darned nice without them

I think the issue would be one of power. A low power device like a thumb (usb) flash drive gets its power from our phones via the OTG cable but an external HDD requires more power than the phone can provide. Its suggested in the following thread/link that you can use a powered USB hub to power up the Drive and then the OTG will work with the phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931990&page=2

Any of you guys who haven't registered your HTC One device with your serial numbers at http://us.htc.com/googleplay/redeem should do so now.
I am not in the USA but was able to receive and redeem the $25 Play Credit by using an alternate Google account then downloading app to phone and switching back to my regular account. Works great, so try it now if you haven't already!

Hey guys I has anyone received the 4.2.2 update yet?
Greetings!
I have ran out of options and finally decided to take this step, not really sure if it will work but still hoping though that it will. I have come here to ask for help from developers and people with great knowledge in these things. Here is my situation. My friend bought a gmate+ device abroad as a gift for me here in Philippines and unfortunately, this device can only be used in the country it was bought in. After reading things in the manufacturer's site and contacting them (they have a very not-so-satisfying customer service, sorry to mention this), it seems that there really is no cure for my case unless I have it ship back and ask for refund then buy a new one here instead,which is also almost impossible because I do not have the receipt(the item was just given to me without any receipt) and I do not know exactly from which store my friend purchase it(and according to him, he is also unsure from which store exactly because he went shopping for things as gifts not in just a single store or place). So to make the story short, I now have a useless piece of device which could have been really great for my Nexus 7 if only it works. The gmate+ is a device sold by the company Skyroam. This is a bluetooth device which allows an Android or iOS running gadget to have the ability to use GSM service through it via bluetooth pairing and software. I do not know if it is really hard, but I'm thinking ( actually hoping and praying ) that maybe somebody here could do something about my case, perhaps build a workaround via a software. I would really appreciate it if anybody would take time to work on this project. Additional info which may help, if anybody's interested, I'm running the stock update Android 4.3 for the Nexus 7 (2012).
Thanks and more power!

You might need another firmware for the gmate+.
Or someone has to rewrite the Android app.
But to me it seems as if it it needed another firmware.

This is what I'm hoping somebody here could.
The manufacturer's site is up and it has details about the product as well, so the developer could know better about it. I have also found similar gadgets online. They are mostly products that are manufactured in China and have outdated softwares.
got my man ordered this beautiful piece from China, hope it can work on Canada Bell LTE xD
shoulda arrive in a week or 2
will report back and maybe post an openbox if not any.

Hey guys I just got one yesterday. Pretty satisfy so far. This phone is FAST!
One issue though, I cannot get Google contact to sync. Anyone can give me some pointers?
If you have any questions about this phone, please let me know and I will try to answer them for you

I know Benchmarks don't say much but how does the device compare to let's say a note 3 (which I got now) and what does emui 3.0 feel like? Is it just like MIUI or looks like that but the experience is different? Just asking becouse miui is very fluent in usage. Thanks in advance.

* How does it feel? Does it feel natural at 6.1" in your hands?
* is it heavy? How does it compare to the Note 3 or other comparably-sized device?
* Does it fit in your pocket easily enough?
* Does it work well-enough with EMUI 3.0 with one-handed operations?
* I know you only just got it, but could you report back in a few days after continuous use about how the battery fares?
* Are you going to try it with a few games to see how the processor performs?
* Did you do any download/upload speed tests?
* Where are you located and were you able to activate it with no issues on your network?
* Was the device difficult to set up?
* How is the charging? Does it take a long time? This is something that hopefully you'll report back about in a few days after charging the device a few times.
In terms of your Google contacts sync issue, what exactly is the issue? You need to give more information about what is "not working" before we can offer some help. The first suggestion I'd have is to delete the google account you created on the device and recreate it.

For the google sync, try go to Huawei's app market and download the google apps and you are good to go

I used OPPO N1 and Note3 last year, the weight is note3< mate7<N1, it's not bad. But holding it while laying face up is kinda hard xD hands get shot easily.
Yeah it fit my Levi's pocket pretty good.
One hand operation is okay in EMUI, if you have the xposed mod fly android installed it will be way better.
Games work fine as the GPU is pretty mainstream.
The phone I got is the CMCC version. Only works on TD LTE network in China but can be used on FDD LTE or any other 3G/4G in other country. I think if I can flash the China Unicom version's modem it could work on FDD in China to as the hardware support it. I'm planning using it in Canada on Bell. Will test it out on 22nd when I get back.
Set up? What you mean by set up?
Charging takes around 3 hours from nearly dead battery (10%-ish) to 100%. With my four ports universal charger it takes longer, maybe 5 hours but I'm not sure cuz I was sleeping

And the phone feels good, really good in hands. It feels very solid and slate. And didn't feel too huge like the OPPO N1 which is also 6 inch.
Haha thx freefrank for answering them for me. The phone itself is pretty light, feels much lighter than the Mate 2.
Well under my Google account, I see sync for everything, such as app data, calendar, email and even people. But I don't see contact there. I tried to look into the Huawei store but no luck. Freefrank are you able to get contact sync? if so did you need to do anything special? Please let me know. Is there a googlecontactsync.apk I need to install?
Is there a built-in contacts app that would work? Can you use one that comes with the device to sync your google contacts?

I am going to China next month and would like to pick this up. So the CMCC version is the one I should get if I want to use with US At&t? Does CMCC offer the white color? And is it unlocked? Thanks.

I found a Chinese retailer that ships to the US, the price including shipping using DHL wasn't actually bad, total shipping time was 3-5 days. Actual "wait" time was 45 days. I'm guessing they're taking pre-orders.
From everything I've read so far, this isn't due to be released until Q3 which is the only date I've seen from a lot of the press and Huawei. Does anyone have when these will be sold or at least available to be sold?
I think I'll wait until January to see if I can get a device for myself. By then software and hardware and possibly sourcing issues should be a little better.

Are you sure? All the reviews I've been reading say that the gold version is for the 32Gb version only and that the 16 comes in multiple colors. I'm not doubting you, but the Chinese retailer was only offering the gold in 32Gb. Maybe that was why it was delayed 45 days?

The only color available for the 32GB model is gold, while the 16 GB model comes in black or silver. I must add that it is in VERY limited supply right now, even the official stores don't have any yet until October at the earliest. For those that do have then in stock, only the 32GB version seems to be in stock.
When I was there I saw 4 people bought one while I was testing my unit, and before I left the store they already out of stock and had to turn people away.

I sent you a PM but maybe you didn't see it. If you're willing, would you be able to pick up more than one? i'd pay you for the unit.

I don't have any PM in my inbox, May be I am not senior enough to receive them? I would be more than happy to pick up a couple of units for you. Let me know how you would like to arrange this. Keep in mind they are in VERY tight supply so I am not sure I can find them at the moment.......
I received my Honor 8 yesterday and so far I'm mostly pleased. Compared to the past 4 Moto G models I've owned, I'm extremely happy. I just hope support is better than my efforts to contact them so far. I was trying to register it so I'd get that 3 month screen protection and for now I've given up. I first tried to call them and sat on the phone for an hour only to be disconnected without ever talking to someone. I then tried to register it using the login I've had for some time. When I try to login with that I get an error that a problem occurred and try again later. Sooo, I tried registering with a new email but it requires them sending you a code to register. I tried 3 different email addresses multiple times and I never receive the code after 24 hours. I then sent an email, which over 24 hours later, I'm not sure they even received. If this is an indication of their support, then I am a little worried.

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to wait. That is about an unlocking code, mine is about the code needed to just register the phone but that one and mine are similar because apparently there's no one home at Huawei.

Quite frankly, i wouldn't bother If i were you. The hardware is great but software is meh and support is abysmal.
That's not news around here though.
Also, their website structure/ registering procedureshave got to be the worst.
If you think that's bad wait till you try to get your bootloader code.
Luckily there are ways around that and while not free I'd definitely go for it.
Otherwise prepare for quite a few headaches in that regard ?

LOL, Just from what I've seen, I'll have to agree. I finally got an answer from them that was obviously run through a translator. It gave me a link to click that took me back to the page I originally tried to register with. So I tried resetting my password once again and it actually sent me the registration code. When I used that it told me I was in the wrong country and redirected me to a page that looked identical to what I previously looked at. So I used my new reset password and I get a new box advising me that something went wrong. So, I give up.
I do love the phone though, compared to the Moto G4 I had, it's quite a step up.
I didn't have any problems getting my unlock code.

I'm not wanting an unlock code, I'm just trying to register the darn phone. In case you've never tried or haven't in a while, Honor requires you to get an AUTHENTICATION code just to register your watch or to activate the free breakage coverage. If they don't send you that code then you can't get any web based support.

I solved my problem by using a Hotmail address. It wouldn't work using an AT&T email or Gmail but I did get a reply with hotmail. Unless you turn off the authentication feature, everything you do or change requires 2 or 3 of these authentication codes to be sent. It may be that AT&T and Gmail have blacklisted their mail server because it might look like mail flooding with all the emails they send out for every little thing. The good thing is that once you get in, you can disable that authentication feature.

Honor sent me an email saying that my US account was being transferred to Germany for some reason. I wouldn't bother trying to register for the screen protection. If you can't get the simple registration you'll probably find it impossible to get warranty service anyway. It's been two or three months since North America got a software update, and it was around Christmas to get the update before that. The Honor 9 isn't seeing a NA release last I heard. And the Honor USA reps (Noah and Trevor?) who used to post here haven't in ~10 months.
If you need a bootloader unlock code I got mine in October or November no problem. But with Huawei seeming to have stopped support in North America I'd try the European site if you need one now. I think we'll possibly get one or two more security patches over the next 12 months, but put low odds on that and expect nothing beyond it. It's a shame the Honor 8 is such a nice phone saddled with such dreadful support from Huawei. If they released security updates I'd highly recommend it. But they don't and I wouldn't suggest spending $300 on a phone that's probably never going to get a software update.
That's weird (transferring your account)
Ones or two other people on the forum reported the same thing. I'm wondering if they still plan future products for the US?

They do still plan for future US releases, because I am in Huawei/Honor beta facebook group (it's for US people) and they send unreleased products to test

Thats just a dope . I hate that beta testing though.
Here in xda devs are working day n night . It boosts device sales as it gets development.
Devs can give best reviews than those noobs. Cant they send those test stuff to devs ?
This is why that "group is a dope"
