i've seen some mi3 camera shots (supposedly good ones shared on the net). they weren't really impressive.

i've seen good shots by OnePlus that was ahared on the net... dem good. but...

seriously, tried taking photos on OnePlus... under bright conditions, the camera is OK. but low lights... its quite disappointing. the noise is quite obvious.

and my really, really main issue with OnePlus camera is... its dem slow to start up. i was hoping that with such high end specs, one can immediately launch the camera and take photos (like s4) but sadly... i find the camera a bit too slow for my liking.

yes, i think its SW... but i dun think it will get fixed... probably not priority... :S

eh, i saw the flat cables... *ahem*

huh? 25R incremental? not 30O?

btw, no update yet...

so plugged in the SIM card into the phone, hoping that may change things. still no update. in fact, after that, I noticed that when I click to check update, almost immediately I get no new update message. there isn't even a progress bar. I'm really hoping I don't have to do factory reset.

the other thing I noticed after plugging in the SIM card... this phone don't really detect signal well. in area where I could get at least 1 bar on my note 2, I wasn't getting any stable signal. I could see the signal bar going from 3 to 1 and then change to E. then back again to 3G. as a result of that, I could not even start Speedtest.

ouch...

anyway, removed SIM card. will do more tests later on this week... hopefully.

errr... i think i shared in last V... 16GB version... i recall rm1.2k or something.

what are you using to charge? 40mins only 4% is kinda slow. you're not using it for gaming when you were charging, right?

as for battery drain when surfing... you need to be more specific la... a few hours... 8 hours? 10 hours? or 3 hours? if 40% after use for 9 hours... i think its excellent!

please share if you find a good settings for low lights. coz really quite disappointing, besides the other points i highlighted.

google pinyin is free. swype is also good, but is a paid apps.

unfortunately, i don't think there's an equivalent of GCC for OnePlus. not sure if it will work too... but i'm suspecting your USB port isn't giving out a lot of juice/ power. hence, the slow charging. cable and USB port plays a role as well.

on my laptop, if i don't adjust the cable properly, i may get about 200mAh... if adjusted properly, i can get like 400mAh. this is on my Note 2. but it should be the same with other phones. basically, need to make sure you got a good USB port + good cable.

i recently found out that best USB cable for charging should have rating of 28AWG/24AWG. unfortunately, i still have not found a way to tell if a cable is rated that way...

i guess i should be happy i don't have the OTA yet.

errr... if din check, how you know?

anyway, how to check on OnePlus One?

i recall there USB has got some standards when it comes to how things are wired, etc... they can't simply swap things around and still call it USB.

i've been reading up and there are mention of cables with 28/28AWG vs 28/24AWG. those with 28/24AWG would actually give you better charging experience. its got to do with the "thickness" of the cable.

nice... thanks.

yes, monoprice came out a lot when i searched for 28/24AWG. they are quite cheap but when trying to order from Amazon, they don't ship to MY... ouch...

for Lithium Ion batteries which is used in most smartphones these days... its very bad to actually fully deplete the battery. it behaves opposite of nickel metal hidrate which needs to complete discharge, else you get "memory effect".

can read more here:

browse around the site for more good articles. it was shared before by benny888 on other threads.

errr... boss... you mean Lithium Ion, right?

i'm using the official transparent case... regret getting it... hahaha...

using... yes, I shared 1-2 days back... connection was kinda bad on the phone. where my note 2 could get some decent signal, it was barely registering on the OnePlus One. but I wasn't sure if it's telco or phone.

and when got signal, it bounced between E & H+.

sorry, have not had the chance to test calls yet.

unlikely... coz mine is still running 25R.

tried to remove the FASTBOOT and see if i can download the regular zip like before. but... dun have.

anyway, i think its right to put it up as others may want to experiment, etc... so at least there's a place to get official file. but they should also provide link to older versions.

i guess we need to start comparing...

INGfusion set should already be running 30O, right? all stock? any special apps that you installed that may do this?

anyone else running 30O that can run the phone below 10% battery level?

got restart, etc? maybe the battery drain starts after restart... same thing about phone shutdown... hahaha...

but ya, ideally, better not to let battery drain.

however, if shutdown at 10%... that's bad... imagine end of day, emergency... battery at 11%... then when wanna make call... abttery drop to 10... phone shutdown and cannot power on. dem jialat.

if you do that to say camera (i know Samsung does this for the camera's flash), then i understand. but power down phone at 10% is overkill.

btw, anyone got check on JIRA if others have complained the same thing?
