done with HTC, switching to OnePlus

Had really hoped hopes with htc u11 . 1st had a huge bug with Bluetooth/wifi that would boot loop my phone... Not only did htc blame me but I had to pay to replace it twice...2 the stance HTC and all big tech company have with development on their phones.
I'm moving back to OnePlus... I had the 1 and 3 going to wait till 7 comes out later this year... Anyone else leave HTC if so to what company what phone?

I do not have issues with WiFi nor Bluetooth. Both work pretty well for me.
I am not leaving htc. I have had the s8, v30 and op6. The result is that every time I switched back to the u11 I realized how smooth, simple and customizable is sense home and the great quality of the u11 (display, sound, construction, camera...). Oh, edge sense is a great feature that I can not live without.
Right now there is no other device that have all the specs I look for. Maybe the u12+.

Well experience with HTC phones had been good so far. Especially HTC U11 is a great device I am having no such issues.
For others I can tell about Samsung phones since I am personally using Note 8. Samsung has come a long way their software system it is lighter now and less buggier. Hardware always has been good on Samsung.

I'm leaving HTC this year for sure, after complete 2 years with me. No pie so far for u11, among others reasons like I've cracked my screen, paid to HTC themselves to fix, and after that there's no more warranty for the phone and they don't guarantee it stills water resistant.
The u11 is not bad, not at all. Suppresses all my needs, but with this support is complicated.

I've had my U11 since June 2017. It followed a ZTE Axon 7, which followed an HTC 10. I baby the U11 and have been very careful with handling it. I'll keep it until the day I accidentally break it. As others have said, the camera, sound and Edge Sense are what makes this phone so special. Plus, there's nothing as sexy as the Sapphire Blue! Pie or no Pie, it's not a deal breaker for me. Phones nowadays are expensive enough that they're not disposable, - better off holding on to what you have until it doesn't work anymore. HOWEVER, for the sake of answering the question, IF I was going to move on from HTC, I'd get a Galaxy S9 Plus.

I had the HTC 10 before my U11 and thought it was better audio quality, for a start it has a HEADPHONE SOCKET......can you hear me HTC!
USB-C & no headphone socket is really BAD.
My next phone will be OnePlus, had a One and it was brilliant....just shame about no SD-CARD SOCKET....can you hear me OnePlus!
Just wish someone would make a phone that's half decent like these and have SD-Card socket AND headphone socket.
ps. OnePlus are really EASY to re-flash.

Went for pixel 2 xl though still have U11
Second hand U11 is half the price of used Pixel 2 xl in UK which make it good bargain

I ordered a Oneplus 7 pro this weekend and when it comes later this week it will replace my HTC U11. It's been a great device, but the lack of updates has been very disappointing and I might have desided to buy a different phone if I had known HTC's fate ahead of time.

Two years later, my HTC is still going strong, has a better camera (especially combined with the Google Camera ports) than most phones out there.
Only thing that could be a little better is battery life.
I'll wait for a Pixel with multiple camera lenses and 5G connectivity before upgrading this phone - unless the battery performance deteriorates a lot over the coming year.

Well even though the OnePlus 7 Pro is the best Android handset in 2019 thus far, I think I'll instead switch to Pixel 4, maybe Pixel 4XL. There are two reasons: Pixel will have fast updates and less compromises in comparison to OnePlus, as well as the much better camera.

Ya I do want to see what Google brings to the table, but pixels have had a lot of problems.. at least in the opening months so I would hold off a few months before you buy

Have fun with the touchscreen issues

I purchased the Pixel 3a XL because it was so cheap and i have been wanting to feel the Pixel experience since i passed up the 2XL for the U11. This 3a is a great phone. I still find my self using the U11 on WiFi though because it has been an awesome phone. What can i say....been with HTC since the thunderbolt. Pixel experience has been great so far, and unless HTC can shows signs of life i will be taking a serious look at the Pixel 4.

My OP7P turned up yesterday... Seems like quite a nice device. I went the overkill version, 12gb/256gb.
In the hand, its a little heavier and taller than the U11. Camera doesnt compare to the U11 in my opinion (not on stock OP, GCam U11)
Speed! WOW! Not a single slow down for 2 days. But then again, my 6gb U11 was fast enough.
This phone ****s on the P3XL and the Mate 20 Pro which I returned to go back the U11. I dont think ill be returning the OP7.
I dont have the touch screen issues, but im not going to try installing CPU-z to check. (if I have them, im not noticing it so dont want to be looking for it if its there)
If you are happy with the U11 on Lineage or RR etc, then dont bother updating. Its really not that big of an improvement or difference from OOS.
I am getting double the SOT though, so maybe to some it is. Im always near a charger so no issue for me

Thanks for the feedback. Im fighting the update urge within myself ?. Not to op7p but op7 or zenfone 6, or poco f2.
Wrt to camera, only pixel and huawei p30pro is better. Other than that no one can touch u11(gcam) not even s10+. I have used s10+ both EX and SD versions extensively as my wife & bro has it.
I only do web surfing and youtube , social media and NO gaming at all. With this i get 7hrs SOT on wifi and 5.5-6hrs in wifi+lte.
Are you saying it will approx double from u11 with op7p ?
For my usage, high end SOC is not necessary as i dont game at all. However display, camera and battery, good dev support is high on priority. Pixel 3axl in india has been once again insanely priced.

For the past 2 days, I've been getting 8 hours of sot. I don't game and probably have similar usage to your description. I have turned the screen to 60hz and 1080p today to see what the difference is. I'd probably look at the op7 over the others. Although, Xiaomi mi9t looks like it would be a contender too.
One thing to note, bootloader unlock on OnePlus loses widevine L1. If that's of interest to you. Not for me...

I haven't rooted in YEARS. Care to give me a brief synopsis on how to get root/s-off(or atleast get me in the right direction? It would be greatly appreciated! Phone is unlocked, and i use Verizon.

From Pixel to OP

Whats up guys....its been forever since Ive had to root a phone due to having Pixel 1-3XL until now.
Ive been looking at OP and now that they have a true flagship I just ordered my 8 Pro TODAY!!! IT was finally in stock.
So my question is does the OP still have the features from Pixels like screening calls, screenshots from the assistant, etc?
Ill be doing some searches tonight...just trying to get some quick answers... a little excited.
TIA

It doesn't have Pixel specific features like Call Screening, Recorder etc. But most, if not all, Google Assistant functionality is available on the OP8 Pro (as on many other devices)..

The phone dialer app on the OP8 Pro is different than the Google dialer app so you don't get the standard features that the Pixel has.

I had OnePlus 7 pro and swapped to Pixel 4 XL. In overall Pixel is much better than any OnePlus device. As long as you don't really need ultra wide angel camera or 5g is not any reason to buy OnePlus. The difference between genuine Pixel software and Oxygen OS is so huge that using both is different experience, obviously genuine Android is far better in any aspect. Oxygen OS is Chinese crap which kills background activities like all Chinese Android skin and doesn't work stable enough. Finally you will have to flash buggy Pixel Experience rom and semi working Gcam mod instead for slightly better hardware which really not make difference in daily usage as long as the ultra wide lens or 5g is not absolutely must have for you.

I've owned a Pixel 4 XL and would still be owning it if it wasn't for the subpar battery life and the not too bright display. I'm not sure I understand your point about the Pixel's Android OS and Oxygen OS - they are probably the closest to stock Android (and the Pixel doesn't run "stock" Android but Google's slightly modified version of it). Have you tried any other manufacturers implementation of Android (One UI, Colour OS etc.) - they are way more different than Oxygen OS
I also think that you've forgotten about the Pixel also killing background activities in the past along with a slew of bugs that Google addressed over time - similar to what OnePlus will probably do.
Look, I'm not sticking up for OnePlus here - I think they did rush out a somewhat unfinished product. But I think Google did the same with the Pixel 4 XL and slapped it with some poor hardware decisions that cannot be fixed (No Ultrawide camera, small battery, 64GB base capacity and a relatively poor display).

Pixel line had so much potential and Google killed it with subpar hardware. Yes the software it's good but they also kill processes because of the baby battery. I was a nexus/ pixel only user, but Google left me no choice, and one plus is the only thing that could even come close to take it's place, and is a way better phone

I am in the SAME exact situation... Man, the days of crackflashing my galaxy nexus were suhweeeeeet. I am really looking forward to getting my OP8 Pro today and rooting it

Oneplus use designed battery capacity in marketing. In real world they use poor quality battery and to decrease degradation batteries are limited in software. E.X. In 7 Pro designed capacity is 4000 mAh for maximum voltage 4.4V but because of software limitation you cannot charge battery beyond about 4.3V. The real capacity is about 10% lower than declared. In Pixel 4 XL I noticed that new battery had 103 - 104% designed capacity. Finally on my 7 pro real battery capacity was over 200 mAh lower than on my Pixel 4 XL. In my opinion Pixel firmware is far better than Oxygen OS and the difference is really dramatic.

I came form a p4xl too to the op8p. Would love to get call screen. That's the only thing I am missing so far

Dammit, don't dissuade me from soending my money, lol. I was psyched to order this on preorder day but they ran out of stock before I could click 'check out'. Same for launch day. Now the shine has worn off since I've been waiting a couple weeks. Was gonna ship tomorrow but now I'm thinking of cancelling my order. I'm happy with my Note 10 plus but want the latest and greatest.

Oneplus 8 Pro has obviously noticeable better hardware in all aspects than Pixel 4. It's not bad bad at least my 7 Pro wasn't bad phone just software on my opinion is much better on Pixel. Some people doesn't care or install custom rom but since you try genuine Pixel you will notice difference.

OP 8 Pro vs Mi 10 pro

Hi friends. which is better?
OP 8 Pro dont have dxomark score
Gsmarena camera compare , op 8 pro is better
I like xiaomi and miui. I have k20 pro now
Thanks for reply. Sorry for my bad english

If you like xiaomi and miui then you should buy their devices.

Have answered a similar thread to this, you're measuring oranges and apples, there is no right answer.
Only your opinion, which means it's totally subjective.
My advice? Visit a store and see, check out some reviews.
For me it's the 1+, mainly because of the camera, the screen, the software and I once unlocked a friend's Xiaomi bootloader and it forced me to wait 15 days? Not sure if that's still a process of theirs but no thanks.
Their policy on bootloader unlocking reminds me of Huawei in a way, so for me it's got to be Oneplus.
Also OnePlus has been a competitor globally since it's inception whereas Xiaomi was native to China.

Thanks friends for reply

I was choosing between this also before but I ended with OnePlus but if camera is important for you go for mi10 now if you want an overall better experience I'll recommend OnePlus for the reason it's close to stock Android no xiaomi bloatware and their launcher ui I don't like it.

The OnePlus & XDA for the win! Cheers

Thanks friends for new reply

up

I was also a long term Xiaomi user, and was using the K20 Pro like you till the last week. I just got my Oneplus 8 Pro this week and I must say that it's awesome. If you ask my opinion, I'm loving the Oxygen OS experience more than MIUI, its much more customizable and smooth and close to stock android, but you might just miss out on some features from MIUI.
Talking about the Oneplus 8 Pro, the 120hz is super smooth and I must say that the display is the best part, if you don't mind using a curved screen. Cameras are also great and using Gcam further improves the experience, the front cam isn't good in low light conditions though. The only issue I faced was overheating, but it seems to be fine after 3-4 days of use. It still runs warmer than the K20 Pro in comparison.
Overall for me, I think I made the right choice since I'm satisfied with the device and experience.

Buy mi10 pro. It at least work like intended doesn't freezes and hangs like ****ty 8 pro.

Loool what planet you on pal? If your device is freezing then you got a dud, either that or you've gone mental.

It hangs while using Android webview. Chrome which is stock built in browser doesn't work since October on OnePlus 7 and their poor and lazy developers show us middle finger moving the same bug to 8 pro. Even tweeter lags on this ****ty device. It's far better experience to use my old Pixel 2 XL than this crap. Oppo is just scam, a lot of numbers in specification but it even not work like intended.

I have both phone and I think there r pro and cons.
When I use op8 pro I miss the below feature from mi 10 pro.
1. Fast 50w charging - 40 min to full charge
2. IR control - I use that to on TV and air conditioner
3. Dual wifi band - use 2.4 And 5ghz at the same time
4. Nicer Animations icons and transition effect from miui default theme - the version I used come with app drawer
5. Longer battery life
6. More charger and battery bank friendly
7. Camera slightly better
When I use mi 10 pro
1. Miss ip68 - I wash my phone quite often due to covid19
2. Hardware slider like iPhone switch which is super convenient. I wish all Android make this hardware switch
3. One plus launcher speed and icon changer
4. Less configuration to deal with as it does not have agressive battery saving setting. E.g. for xiaomi, I have enable auto restart services on some apps that are not able to work well or lag in notification as that is their default setting
5. Design of the camera logical placement as my hand don't touch them while holding
6. Screen color calibration (personal) not because resolution and 120mhz
In the end, op8 pro is my daily driver phone even mi 10 pro score 7 against 6 because I am sold on ip68 and hardware slider and their screen color. Both phone are equally good so it lies on which top 3 factor is the main choice for u to choose

Should I get the OP8 PRO?

Just looking for thoughts and opinions...
I am -very- new to OnePlus and have recently purchased (and returned) my first TWO OnePlus devices. I bought a 7 Pro model on amazon that was supposed to be a Gm1917, but turned out to be a Gm1925 (t-mobile), and returned it. Then I purchased a GM1910 (chinese non-carrier/GSM), but when received that one, was an HD1910 (7t Pro, not a 7 pro... which by the way won't even show up on OnePlus' website if it detects U.S. Ip address). So.. I returned that one too. I really want a One Plus Pro 7 Unlocked / Carrier free but it seems downright impossible to find one that is new. After two failed attempts at getting one, I'm getting disheartened. I specifically chose the OP7Pro because it seems to have everything I want from a post-purchase development side (working TWRP, Magisk, and Official Resurrection Remix Rom), as well as the fact that I already bought screen protectors and a Newendry Battery Case. I loved the camera's Pro functions and just about everything else... so here's my question/s...
Should I just buy the 8 Pro direct from OP and hope that TWRP get's up and running , as well as a Resurrection Remix port? Is the camera functions the same as the 7 Series? (I absolutely love the ability to select separate focal point from an auto-exposure point). Is it reasonable to believe that OP8Pro will indeed get an official or even unofficial but well-working TWRP?
I am so tired of dealing with misrepresented phones on Amazon, but from what I've read, Oneplus has no intent of producing more OnePlus 7 Pros and since they are all out of stock, it seems my only option is to keep playing Buy-and-return games with amazon and ebay until I actually get a phone that actually matches its listing, or to just buy a OnePlus 8 Pro.
Thoughts?
(Sorry if this is in the wrong place... feel free to scold and educate me if so.)

I would say the 8 Pro for the win! Had mine since launch and it's best device I've had. It's ultimately your call... Cheers

Go with oneplus 8 pro . I love mine. And I have latest greatest even after 8t. Still better option . I bought mine amazon .....unlocked and u will be able to twrp . Magisk etc ..

I'm with the above people... The OP8pro is a winner.

Yep, OP8P is great, I'm enjoying every minute using it.
It's fast, smooth and offers good battery life
Good luck

Don’t mean to hijack this thread but the in2025 is the USA all bands supported model dual sim unlocked right ?

8 Pro. Period.
Only thing to pay attention is model for the region you live in.

Try Swappa. Check seller ratings before purchasing too.

Well, seems to be a pretty clear cut decision for everyone. So I pulled the trigger on the OP 8Pro.
I bought direct from OnePlus this time so no false-title shenanigans. I did check swappa as well as a few other re-sell sights for the 7 pro first, as suggested, but most of the ones I found admitted to having slight burn-in at the top so.. the 8 it is. Should be receiving it today. Thanks for all your input everyone!

Had the 8 pro it's a great device, if you want a better camera though go with another phone, great all round device though

Nice to hear, I hope you're enjoying it mate, don't forget to share your experience

Well... Initial impressions...
I prefer the pop-up camera on the 7 more than the screen built in 8... That little black hole distracts the everliving bawhoosits out of me on the status bar... Buuuut... I can easily remedy the status bar placement with a few different xposed modules if it really bugs me later.
One thing I really like is fingerprint sensor. Seems much more accurate (or maybe inaccurate?) than the 7. That is to say, it actually registers my finger without me having to press it 4 times.

Download energy ring, it's on the play store, then remove the battery icon. I couldn't have this phone without it.
Free app btw..thread in the themes section.
Finger print is superb.

Is it still worth buying right now? Talking about the camera (versus P40 PRO or similar). I'm especially interested in the camera. Then , screen, batter. I know screen is amazing.
Price tag would be 850 USD

People say that camera is better on P40 Pro. The new 8T is not better then 8 pro. Is better then 8.

The OnePlus 8 Pro has some pretty bad WiFi / Bluetooth interference issues that are somewhat (though not fully) resolved in Android 11. So if you rely on VOWiFi calling with a bluetooth headset, this is not a good phone for you. Some of these may be related to the Qualcomm SOC / hardware and may not be fixable
Also if you search the site, you will see many comparisons of people getting all around better wireless speeds on the 7 Pro or even 6 series or other phones because of these issues.
I have kept mine, but I also kept my OP7Pro and have had to use it in cases where the OnePLus 8 wouldn't do VOWiFi (voice cutting in and out).
Also someone asked about dual SIM -- in the USA, I believe you need the Android 11 beta to use this. I have not tested it, but saw tons of people griping about it.
I am hoping the official Android 11 build fixes the remaining WiFi/Bluetooth issues, otherwise I am going back to OP7 Pro.
Everything else about the OP8 Pro is very nice.

Yes, you should.

OnePlus 8T+5G (KB2007) daily driver review

can a mod please move this to real life reviews I could not post this there all I did was hit the button in the XDA app and it would never post, thanks in advance
Let me start off by saying I'm coming from a rooted OnePlus 7 pro that I had for over a year. And I switched to the 8T+5G as a daily driver almost a week ago. Here are my thoughts...
Display- 5 out 5 amazing
Let me start by reviewing the display, this was my most hyped feature the 120 HZ display coming from the 90 that I already liked I was excited for the 120. First thing out of the box I compared my 7 pro to the 18 just by swiping around playing with the home screen and I saw an immediate difference I loved it! I also use a tool, jOnePlus Tools, app to force 120 all the time. I am not a heavy phone gamer but the little bit of games I do play I love seeing high refresh rates because it just makes everything so creamy smooth. I'm loving the flat screen I hate curved screens.
Connectivity- 3.5 out of 5 meh not bad not amazing difference
I don't live in a major city but I when I have been in the city I didn't notice a huge boost of speeds but checking with speed tests at various locations I've seen roughly 50 to 350 megabits down and a consistent 20ish up.
Hardware- 4 out of 5 pretty sweet
I really like using my phone as a connected android auto for my vehicles head unit and I have a bluetooth connected cobra radar detector so my phone screen is on for radar detector plus phone running AA screen with music and maps running. Now on my rooted 7Pro, this would heat my device and drain it while it was plugged in like it was going out of style, so much so I built a makeshift cooler using one of my air vents and cover for my dash mount to keep it out of the sun. Using this same setup I don't even need my air conditioning running and the 8T stays decently cooled, not cold but definitely not hot without my ac running in my car. I also love the 12gb ram, on my 7pro I usually ran with about 2gb to spare on idle and I never quite liked that it was so little. This is coming from the pc gamer that put 32gb of ram in his pc back in 2016 thinking it might not be enough....
Battery- 3 out of 5 pretty disappointed it doesn't last all day
Let me start by saying that I think this could be a lot better if I had this rooted and was able to properly debloat it. But as of now that's not an option and my review stands. With or without heavy use it does drain fairly fast during the day for me. I only have a couple of apps that are not battery optimized (basically the same setup I had on my 7Pro but without rooted apps and it did last all day with heavy use) I also suspect that forcing 120hz all day makes a difference as well but only time will tell. I also make a point to never fast charge my devices because I want the batteries to last as long as possible so minimal heat
Overall a 3.875 (f*** it call it a 4 out of 5)
So far it's been a good successor to my 7pro.
Ask me about any other details you'd like to know

Is it really "that" much better than say 7t pro 5g that can be picked up for 1/2 as much right now? I'm still on 6T right now, but was looking to upgrade. Still not quite sold on 8T, given how its cam is not exactly getting good reviews. thanks for this review.

I'm surprised the sensors are the same as 7! However, people on the camera thread are saying GCam helps a lot. Oh, plus they are going to improve the camera on each ROM update of course.

Coming from the 7pro, I definitely think it's worth the upgrade. The ONLY thing I could say the 7 pro was better was the screen resolution BUT I'm still happy with it on the 8t especially with the 120hz

I had the 7 Pro...great phone...never had an issue. I now have the 8T...great phone...no problems so far! I think the fingerprint reader on the 7 Pro was a "little" bit more accurate. I have to be more cognizant of placing my thumb dead center on the reader to get an unlock on the first try. It seemed that the 7 Pro was more forgiving on the placement. Signal bars on the shade appear lower...but the reality is not how many bars are showing but the actual signal strength itself which can be viewed in the settings. When looking in the settings they are both the same. I have not had any lost signals or disconnects so far. I liked the pop-up selfie on the 7 Pro because the screen was clean with no punch holes. However, I HATE curved screens...and I hope I never have to buy one ever again...FLAT all the way! I am not one to hold the phone 3 inches away from my face so I do not care, or see, any difference at all between the two when doing normal tasks. 120 refresh rate does make the phone "seem" smoother, but in most real world use running the 8T at 60 is perfectly acceptable. A few years ago the description "buttery smooth" was used extensively on phones that "only" ran at 60...so to me it's more of a gimmick than something necessary to a good phone. I am not thrilled with punch hole selfies...I rarely take any pictures at all and even fewer selfies...but I use a dark wallpaper so you don't really see it anyway. I wish it was centered instead of on the side but that's more of an OCD thing. Does the 8T work better in day-to-day functionality than the 7 Pro? NO it does not! They are both fast, smooth, competent phones that can take pictures, make phone calls, and communicate using email, and texting. So, for me, the deciding factor was the flat screen VS the curved screen. As I mentioned already I hate curved screens as I think they serve no functional purpose on any phone other than to weaken the shatter resistance of an already fragile glass screen.

Thanks. I've researched the 7t pro 5g and development is definitely lacking (no twrp support even). Though I don't customize much these days, having a custom recovery has always been a must. Thanks for your thoughts, guys.

Is Oneplus8T and Oneplus8T+5G has the same codename kebab? As the only difference between them is the IP68 and memory option...
Before purchasing one i just want to make this clear...

It is weird on gsmarena says the KB2007 T-Mobile version has got IP68 certificate and the rest of 8T does not.

They all have the same rubber gaskets covering the ports and sim card tray. They are identical with internal hardware components. Only difference is that OnePlus didn't want to pay the extra money out for IP68 certificate with the non T-Mobile versions. Meaning that T-Mobile wanted this certificate to get customers to buy the device from them. A marketing gimmick both OnePlus and T-Mobile saw profitable potential in.
