I only remember I root during the early android days where Samsung TW was so heavily laced with bloatware it would be impossible not to root. Nowadays, I dont bother. One, stock android like Oxygen is 'slick' enough, two android phones are better spec'ed now and three, I dont really have the time to troubleshoot here and there when the phone runs into problems.

+1 . Same here.

I would guess that would be the main reason. Unless the phone is not supported by Oneplus, which I would estimate to be years away, then maybe would I think about rooting. But since I change my phone each time a new iteration comes out, I would think otherwiese.

Well your mileage may vary and everyone has different preference. As I said my main reason to root is some very personal preference for certain features, which might not seem to be a need for you (that's why I didn't even list what are those). Not only root to debloat.

Anyway root or no root is a preference thing, we don't need a conclusion of is it really needed or not. There's no right or wrong. If you don't have the need then that's fine for your usage haha.

anyone felt a mild electric shock while charging op5 like me?

Stock ROM but rooted with magisk - just tried, maybank app working already
Need to tick the box for the app inside magisk manager's magisk hide then reboot

Why be good enough when it can be even better?
I'm just used to having root access and giving me ability to do more just like what zelleonhart is doing

And I'm running modded apps such as iYTPB via Magisk (modded youtube to playback with screen off and skip ads), AdAway, Substranum

Is your charger plugged into a properly grounded socket?
You might want to try it on a different socket

Like mentioned, different people have different needs.

tried already lah, even with other charger also still same. its the metal body problem. 8gb version tho.

Have you tried charging it at a different place other than your house using the same charger?
I have no issue with it, not sure about other members.

Meanwhile, I look through the OnePlus forum link you shared earlier and found this to be an interesting read - https://blog.dell.com/en-us/notebook-tingle...-39-s-going-on/

If not rooted can use fingerprint to login maybank 2u app? Planning to sell my ip7 for 1+5. Ahh dilema

Why not?
Btw, why u are selling ur ip7?

I have a problem with Maybank2u apps. Can't use fingerprint to login. No rooted here. Haihhh

Just uninstall and install again. the issue will solve.

Miss android, before this i use op3. Haha. Nvm just sold my ip7. Getting op5 tomorrow. 64/128gb? Aaaah dilema again.

128 ftw 😁

hello guys, user's of op5. Just want to ask op5 ap o op5 ori malaysia, no any issue between the two? i mean network coverage or etc. coz i find a bit cheaper the Ap version here. tnx btw

can u provide the ap set link?

What are good cases for protection?

Guys

I'm considering this phone to purchase. Can this phone gives SOT around 4.5-5hrs hours based on the recent update.

My usage would be Data on 24hrs, Whatsapp,FB, Gmail, Ymail, Company email sync every 15min. FB around 1-2hrs a day, Call 1-2 Hrs, a few sms.

In terms of hardware, they're all the same.
If you're getting the AP version, make sure the unit comes with Oxygen OS instead of the Hydrogen OS which is designed more for the chinese market.

If not, you can always flash Oxygen OS yourself

Spigen Rugged Amour, Ringke Fusion, Rhinoshield Bumper Case, OnePlus Official Karbon Bumper Case

May I know what phone are you using now?

Judging from my experience, it should be able to meet your needs in terms of battery life.
If not, the dash charging is pretty fast if you need a quick top-up. I was able to get from 20% to 85% within 30-35 mins.

I'm using P10 Plus which is giving me max 3.5 hrs SOT only.

Am getting 5.30 to 6 hours constantly
