I somehow got Oneplus 5 after using iphone 8 plus a week ago mainly due to heavy weight?
Tired of changing phones, i want to know, are you guys got use to with odd screem bounce issue? not a big deal? or does it annoy you still after using it for a while?
Never really noticed it on mine. Still don't.

I would concur, it is in my opinion vastly blown out of proportion.
I was expecting something horrible when I go the phone and really I was looking for it. Noticed it for a few hours, then not at all.
Many reasons to maybe not like this phone, but this is not one of them for sure.
I personally don't notice jelly effect but apparently it is caused by the screen being fitted upside down to be able to clear the camera
I see it occasionally. No problem for me.
The whole thing was blown out of proportion by many.
They talked about this jelly effect as if it stabbed them in the eye.
It bothers some people a lot and other people barely notice it or don't see it at all. Presumably you can see it if you asked the question. If you don't get used to it after a couple days of using the phone then it probably isn't going to happen.
I didn't notice this whole jelly effect on my unit.
I can only see it if I pull up & down continuously in some apps, but who do that?
In short, if you want to see it you'll see it but in daily usage you'll barely notice it

Well, you are one lucky dude, i mainly keep noticing it, mainly because they had pointed it out and made an issue with it, otherwise i may had never notice it, but my eyes slightly feel it, can be due to aging eyes as well.

That makes sense, mostly one will see if they will look for it, may be, or if they have it in back of their mind.
I noticed it for a few days. First 2 days it was really kind of annoying (because I knew of it, and psychologically I kept looking for the jelly scrolling - I even considered returning it).
After about a week I got used to it, and since then (have had it for almost 2 months now) I can't really notice it even if I try.
Indeed it seems blown out of proportion, considering other phones like the Moto Z2 (Play?) seems to also have it, and got away with it.
Looking at display issues that my former LG G5 had (horrible image retention - could avoid it with adjustments to the color temperature after rooting), the LG V30, Pixel 2 XL , the slight Jelly Scrolling the OnePlus 5 has shouldn't put anyone off from buying it.

Oh well I personnaly don't feel any reason not to like it !
Maybe the camera is not as good as advertised, but if you want a fast phone with good battery and very active development, then you look no further.
That last line I wrote was to say "to each his/her own, but jelly effect is really not an issue"
If you catch my meaning
Recently acquired the OP5, and while I do notice the jelly effect, I don't find it unpleasant or distracting. It's not very noticeable either.
I don't notice jelly effect.
Also I have read that some guy thought it was a feature of OnePlus and kinda liked that.
Don't really notice it after 2 months of usage

I really wanted this phone to work. Its cheaper than other flagships for starters. Then there is the screen which is really impressive. I just feel continually let down by it though. Its like a bad relationship that you cant let go of and just keep coming back to.
Im not here to rubbish the phone at all... Just feel irritated that you have to root, access secret menus, downgrade to 1080p and rely on a third party launcher to get the buttery goodness im after.
Our friends in the US seem to fare better on the battery front, even after tweaks, mine is erratic and thats being kind. I have to say that battery life does bug me greatly.
It takes some beautiful photos for sure. But the screen colouring does seem to let it down even after tweaking. Its real hot and sunny in London now and outside it doesnt have visibility it should.
I feel like i have been covering up for a cheating partner for the last few weeks hoping for it to all work out.... And am left wanting.....
Cant help but feel LG rushed this a little bit and wonder if a slightly better processor would have helped the battery life.
I have an S5 waiting at home today which im going to test against this. Gonna have a seriously hard choice i feel.......
Good luck on your next choice! s5 is a good phone (just overly bloated) im sure you will enjoy it

Went from Nexus 5 to G3 to M8 and now settled on Z2 until a decent 2k phone is released. I sold my Nexus 5 for £250 and bought the G3 for £480 then took that back and got the M8 for £530. To be honest I wish i stayed with my Nexus 5 instead of spending the extra money for the G3 then the others.
Ha ha i know the feeling. I think we will be waiting a while yet

The Z2 is OK. Best of the ones I've tried this year but its not perfect. The M8s camera is terrible so that's why I ditched it.

Yeah, maybe the Nexus 6 will be good? Who knows. I see Xiaomi released the Mi4 yesterday. Its still using the S801 for a 2k screen which I'm highly dubious of now and I noticed the same frame rate drops as the G3 in the video of it.
It's funny, I came from the S5, which worked for me, but was nothing special. I came from a N3 before, and hated going down to a smaller sized phone.
The G3 fits the bill for me perfectly! I hate overly saturated colors, and the screen has been amazing! The only thing that bothered me was the artificial screen sharpening, but I can live with that.
Battery life has been OK, slightly worse than my S5 (which was amazing)
17 699
Coming from a Samsung S3 and I am amazed at both the screen visibility outdoors and the battery life. I am in California where its rare for me to see any clouds and the sun is burning bright. With the screen at full brightness (auto) I can read the screen perfectly. No issues what so ever and I don't need to shade the screen. Not sure why you are having issues.
The battery life is fantastic too. Does the samsung S5 get better life? Probably. But I am easily getting 2-3 hours on half a charge. My samsung would be dying by then.
When I compared the Samsung S5 and the G3 in a best buy, the G3 was brighter and the screen was much sharper. I don't know why the reviews say its hard to tell, it wasn't at all. Even the samsung rep agreed.
Ill take cali over london any day!! ☺

I used to live in Wimbledon, great place. Sad I'm back up north now.
I'm consistently getting over 5 hours screen time and going 24 hours between charges. I've also had no problems with lag or stability. I'm on a US Tmobile LG G3 and I love it like a fat kid loves chocolate cake.

I have an G3 also in the UK and I would somewhat agree.
However, my first question would be, are you still on v10a?
Cause v10a was/is ****, since I flashed v10e there is definite improvement all around.
Maybe US variants were released with a later version? Maybe that's why they have started with better battery?
And it's definitely too early to judge the phone in my opinion.
Can't wait for CM/AOSP roms and custom kernels... hopefully in the not too distant future.

Hey just out of interest what is not doing it for You? I am the same and I can't put my finger on it. Also how did you get the Korean version? Did the extra ram make a difference
I'm not sure how to feel about the phone. I don't have issues with battery life, got 6h SoT without too much problems. What bothers me is that sometimes the phone has lag, sometimes not - in same situations. Also, today I've noticed a problem probably due to custom buttons bar: Battlenet authenticator menu button, usually puts 3 dots in the soft launch (on M8 at least) is gone on G3...
And that sudden lag... G3 takes literally double the time to go to apps list, to open an app, to shut it down.. 3GB RAM version.
After using the Idol 3 for a couple of weeks, I have the following observations.
Pros:
1) It is a very nice phone, especially considering the price.
2) Battery life is on par with most flagship phones if not better. I can get 5 hours SOT without turning anything off or down. (Considering most people on other phones are complaining about battery drain on Android 5.01/2 and everyone is hoping that 5.1 will fix this, our battery life may only get better)
3) The camera is quick taking shots and straight forward to use. (quality not so much)
4) The OS is simple with very little bloat ware.
5) Very good sound with the front facing speakers.
6) The phone is thin and light for a having a 2910 mAh battery in it.
7) The screen is very bright in direct sunlight. I use it outside a lot and enjoy using it without trying to find some shade.
Cons:
1) The camera is fast but only takes decent pictures. Although for this price one can't complain to much as it is on par of flagship phones a couple years old.
2) Double tap to wake seems to be a constant issue for many (myself included).
3) Only 1 update in the last 14 days. I was hoping for Alcatel to push out some updates quicker but only time will tell how well they do.
4) The phone isn't blazing fast but doesn't lag too much either so this is kind of neutral. Clearly the recent apps is choppy and slow but most performance is decent.
5) Very little in the way of accessories. I bought an ipad screen protector and cut it down to fit.(I can get 3 out of 1).
6) Development isn't there. Not sure if it will be as maybe the phone isn't popular enough or the root/boatloader issue my be part of that as well.
I had the Zenfone 2 and LG G3 and sold them both in favour of this phone. I have had almost every flag phone out there and thought I would play around with some lower priced devices and have been pleasantly surprised with this phone so far. 3 things for me to keep the phone as a daily driver for a little would be, the DTTW issue resolved, some development so I can have some fun flashing some roms, and update to Android M (or at least to 5.1 for some software improvements and extra battery life, but 5 hours of OST is good for me. I most likely will be keeping this phone as my backup once I do move on and will certainly keep an eye on Alcatel for future phones.
I agree 100% with what you said. Just waiting for an update to 5.1 (with some bug fixing) and I'd be very happy.
As for the camera, I'm coming from a Nexus 4. So this is a huge upgrade. I actually find that it takes pretty decent pictures in sunlight.

I watched a review that stated the Zenfone 2 camera blew the idol 3 away.
My personal experience is completely the opposite. The Zenfone 2 camera was slow at focusing and unless you picked a shooting mode the auto setting was the worse choice.
I was spoiled with the note 4 and G3 cameras.

Completely agree with all you have written on your posts[emoji2] . I have the phone and love it, double tap works very well, apex launcher + Deactivated animations in dev menu is a must!
And to screen off the device apex + screen off app is fantastic!
Oh and I have tried the laggy g3, its sad screen and its bad battery life [emoji6] ..
I own the m8 because the m9 hasn't convinced me, vs the m8..

I like it too. if somehow development are started I don't really care if Alcatel updates. hardware wise I'm sure this phone can do better than it is now.
therefore I'm only praying for everything to come together for developments of custom roms before everyone got fed up of Alcatel and leave this boat.

There is a 3-pack of Mr Shield screen protectors on Amazon that fit the phone perfectly. They aren't the best quality (shows scratches pretty easily) but they have the cutout for the camera/light sensor.

I don't disagree but the update was on start up. Nothing after that. This is a budget phone and a great one at that. If they address a could issue this good be a decent daily driver.
I lost patients and moved on but still check the forum as it was an underdog and I was mostly pleased with it.

Ive had this since yesterday. Phone has great potential with custom roms. My biggest complaint is the serious lag issues. Id assume this is from 5.0.2 and the memory leak. The animations are choppy as hell. Otherwise great device.

5.0.2 is full of bugs, yeah. Not sure why phones would ship with that in the first place but meh. To have a smoother experience, enable dev options and set all animation scales to off or .5x.
In europe evertything runs just fine animations, app clearing, everything even in 5.0.2, what's your build number?
The design is what sold me. Super light weight and very good battery life. Speakers are very good and the lcd is better than my nexus 5 was. The only downside is the lag which im thinking is from the gpu drivers and 5.0.2. Custom roms could fix this.

Because all the others phone, don't have this problem, HTC, Sony LG, and especially a Nexus and IPhone.
So I think that's actually more stupid to buy something when you know it has some problems.
And it's not 7 apps, it just need one 3D games and it fails...
So just fix this problem, that's it.
And when it's a game, it's not one second, you have to wait all the loads since the beginning and more, you have to restart the mission, so you lost at your mission. Wow !
Don't buy it if you don't like it. Simple as that.

Let's be clear. EVERY phone has problems. EVERY. SINGLE. PHONE. It always has been and always will be a balance of weighing the pros and the cons.
It's absolutely naive to suggest otherwise.
Well, somehow the S7 in this test/video has no issues with RAM management at all. 3 games and 3 apps (like YouTube) open at the same time. Seems to be no problem.
Maybe it depends on the chip? The phone in this video uses the Exynos.
For my preference it is fine. It's more than I would use simultaneously on a normal day (I have tha habit to close all apps regularly).

Well in the videos posted, one doesn't play and in Erica's review that was a prereleased model so we don't know if a software update happened between the video and time of release. And in the last video temple run refreshed and subway surfers crashed due to it being a crappy app. So I'm only counting one. But yeah im a IPhone reconvert and the S7 edge was the first phone in over a year and a half that even made me look at Android again and that's saying a lot. And don't get me started on that LG phone it looks hideous too, but that's only my opinion.

Im pretty sure the average person doesn't use more than 3 apps at the same time, unless you have ADHD, which makes whole different story !
I've just underlined the problem, it's not big as with the S6's one but it still present, that's it and for me it's a big problem.
Samsung just need to fix this, but they take forever, it software not hardware, does it bring better battery life ? I don't think so because the S6 was not awesome at this point. It just Touchwizz still not at point.
I don't care about USB Type-C or Quick Charge 3.0, but I care about this ram management. It's not a small problem, it's not like the picture is not good as I expected, no it's a software problem, imagine your computer can't keep apps in background. Shame.

Well it's that your deal breaker than thats your deal breaker. Your not going to change any minds here just like no one here is going to change your mind. I look at phones as a total package not just one thing. So for me the galaxy s7 edge has all that I need.

There are a lot more that prove this...
I like the phone, but can't buy it for this problem.

There could be a specific reason why that game refreshed that has nothing to do with ram. If some of the other apps didn't open I could see it as an issue.
Also your second example is ridiculous to post. You don't even know that is final software.
So basically one app refreshed.
Honestly, I still confused about meaning of bad RAM management.. As long as the performance doesn't decreased too much, I won't tell the phone has bad RAM management.. That's why Samsung provide Smart Manager to maintain the phone to its top performance although I don't recommend to clean RAM too often because Android has a features that will close a rarely use apps.

Your post is ridiculous, because the other videos are sure final software !
And more, the S6 is still not final software ? like really, Don't be dumb.
overall galaxy S7 Edge is the best phone you can buy right now.
Good points about the phone outweigh the bad points.
For most people its not a deal breaker if 1 or 2 app refreshed in the background.
I will still buy the phone if i was you.
i had this phone for around 3 months now, the "Jelly Effect" is present but i really don't notice it all the time, or i can say i don't care about it, at first i thought it was some feature in the phone until i saw some people complaining about it.
it's really not annoying at all, perhaps you can say it's not noticeable when you get used to it, not like what they say in the reviews.
Forget those reviewers. just like they did with the screen of Pixel 2 XL, they all are attention seekers. The issue is there on the 1st gen of Pixel but nobody gives a f***. They all are following the trend to get views.
Btw there is no need to create a new thread for your opinion.
People simply like to exaggerate.
The jelly thing is a very minor issue which doesn't affect usage at all.
If the iPhone had a jelly effect, people would be demanding it be on other phones too.
I don't think of it at all. It was blown out of proportion.
It's a clear defect and should not be ignored cause of denial or other childish excuses. It should be treated as a flaw so that it don't happen again. Never understood why you guys try to downplay the problem, how else is oneplus going to realize they f**** up with the display?
It is literally the main reason why some people didn't buy the phone, me included. You learn from your mistakes and move on.
It's ruined device experience, it's bother me every day.
It's very serious issue and should not be ignored.
Oneplus says "It's normal, feel it every day, see it and love OP5."

thread # 1589 about the jelly effect.
No jelly effect at all here. compared with my LG G pro (ips screen) and wife's OP3, they look the same, nothing to ''ruin'' the experience, some princess here.
The effect is on every device, regardless of people who claim to not have it.
It is massively overblow, and this effect can also be seen on displays mounted the correct way round too if you go looking for it.
Great example is any tablet, especially iPads. Scroll up and down quickly and you'll see one side of the screen move before the other side does.
What's worse is the amount of idiots and tech bloggers (almost as bad as the idiots) claiming that oneplus saying it was "natural" was a insult. When in fact, it's perfectly fine.
The real issue with the oneplus 5 is just how jank and stuttery the OS and many apps are, especially if you've ever used a pixel or even a note 8.
The battery life is tremendous, but at a cost of smoothness. The CPU drops back to its lowest frequency so quick that the whole device is plagued by micro stutters. Hopefully something that will be fixed for Oreo but wouldn't count on it.
If you think a Note 8 is smoother than the OnePlus 5, then you've done something wrong with your OnePlus 5
No way in heck Touchwiz is smoother....

This is untrue, people didn't demand loss of signals in iPhone 4, scratched body in iPhone 5 or bendgate in iPhone 6.
this is an issue, which is serious, for some its not noticeable, they are fine with it, they are lucky, those who are obsessed with UI and neatness in a software they are annoyed. Some more, some less. But its a Mistake/Issue or Bug. I don't want to change phone for that as next phone will have their own issues as well. 3T was Fault free though as was 3.

LOL only if you notice it. I've seen 7 OP5's (including my own) and I can't see any "jelly effect". of the other 6 people that have the phone, none of them see it on any of the other phones either. So I don't think it's a real issue number 1 and number 2, I think the effect is generally made apparent/noticeable while video capture to show the effect. I think the camera picks up the effect that teh naked eye really can't. Much like how recording a monitor and the camera is showing the refresh rate that you can't see with your eyes.

Hmmm, Maybe you've done something wrong with your OP5? My OP5 is as smooth as my Nexus 6P was. LOL and no, the Note 8 isn't any more smooth then the OP5. Please, it's Samsung with TW (that is better these days), that statement is absurd. I've also seen the Note 8 as a friend of mine bought it and he's pissed that a $1000 phone doesn't perform like my OP5 at $500.
I've been using the phone since 2 months now and I hardly notice it
It's there for the first few days after having the phone but after you get used to it, it'll lile disappear and you'll hardly notice it.
I Sold my OP5, just because at times it had slight jelly effect or less than smooth scrolling, can be stuttering, i was sensitive to it, may be because it was pointed it.
Sources are saying, OP5T, Likely not have this issue, they are not sure yet, but likely, what do you guys think about it?
Do you guys care?

Well, if this rainbow effect turns on at angel close to 90 degree, then it shout not be an issue, as i yet to use my phone at this extreme angle. Amoled will shift to blue/green or colors at this angle anyways.
I think jelly effect, stutter in scrolling, early screen burning, non uniform screen at any color straight on are things i guess which can cause issues while using phone.
If screen is issue less, and phone has no major flaw/issue. It can be a decent buy for those who like stock UI, cleaner looks and can tolerate or make use of Android's benefits.
Android Central mentions no jelly effect in their video review of the phone (guessing written as well).

That's very good, hopefully this phone may not have any major wide spread issue with anything, i sold my A5000 two weeks ago for 430$ and i am without a phone, as i can't find any options other than 5T. I don't like Pixel 2 XL design as well as screen vulnerabilities.
Are you selling or keeping your A5000? Sadly i was one of the view who could notice screen jittering in A5000.

I'm keeping mine for now as I'm a little worried the camera doesn't really offer any improvement (main reason I would upgrade).

Yes and there is No Jelly Screen on 5T a few Reviews has also commented on jelly screen not being a problem this time
Lol. This again?
Just to put this to an end, I used the phone upside down and it has the jelly effect, so this phone is perfectly fine and the screen is assembled the way it should be.

Thats good, i hope this phone has no major issue or inherit fault, i can get it when it lands in Pakistan Unofficially.
There are two guys having issue with scrolling, i hope they are talking about scrolling speeds, not miss taps.

Well I'm very picky when it comes to screens and this is easily the best screen I ever had on a phone. Perfect colors, good viewing angles and 100% uniformity, no purple, pink, yellow or whatever hue I had on all my previous phones.
I noticed the jelly on all op5 phones I've seen but the 5t doesn't have this "feature". It's a great display.
