    OnePlus OnePlus 7 Pro 8GB after a few days

    OnePlus OnePlus 7 Pro 8GB after a few days


    OnePlus 7 Pro 8GB after a few days

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 06:31 AM PDT

    Hello,

    Like most of us, I consumed as much info before making the purchase, and eventually, made the purchase.

    I'd like to share back from what I have learned and experienced myself.

    I will provide 2 perspectives, one that relates to stuff I read, and the other more free form of review.

    Intro: Coming from a long list of smartphones, and a picky nature, I know what's important to me.Owned: Galaxy S1,S2,S3,Note1/2,Note5,Nexus4/5,LG G2/G4/G6,HTC10/U11 -> OP7ProSo my last phone before OP7PRO was the HTC U11, I will thinking of it as reference.

    • Samsung - I am done with'em, All my Galaxies slowed down with a few months of use, and I hated the slow updates.Also S3 and Note 1 just died from emmc issues.
    • LG - I loved many things about them, but eventually they all slowed down and both had hardware issues eventually.
    • Nexus - Awesome phones, but hardware was cheap to begin with
    • HTC10 - Great at all aspects excluding battery life and camera
    • HTC U11 - Really an awesome phone - The battery is mediocre but everything else is very very good, Especially the camera.

    Contenders to OP7PRO:

    • HTC U12+Ruled out because of low brightness display, HTC corporation seems to be dying? No updates to U11... still on android 8 as of last week.
    • Pixel 3 XLRuled out because of large bezels, 4GB Ram.

    Known issues (read about them before the purchase) :

    • Curved edges
      I read opinions that span from "I love it", to "I hate it", through "I don't care"My take : I would prefer a flat screen, I don't care for the curved edges, they do sometimes reflect some light sources, but I can handle it, I don't think about it. I guess if you are all day outside it might be annoying.
    • Camera quality
      The camera on the OP7PRO Sucks (IMHO)Focus takes long and basically misses most of the time. (I like to touch to focus almost always)Photos are usually overexposed, soft, oil effect.No manual control for video like focus or iso etc... (I know LG V series and Samsung do better in that area)Most of the Photos I take I really don't like when I zoom in a little to see what's going on.When using manual PRO mode, viewfinder stops anticipating the exposure at 1/10... common.Manual focus live peek not implemented, WHY?The U11 with it's single lense is miles better. Faster focusing, sharp, quick, consistent.I KINDA hate it when vendors produce phones with multiple sensors/lenses. I mean, it's hard to perfect 1 sensor and lense, so now they add 3 cameras on the back and start making compromises... 1 lense doesn't have OIS, the other doesn't have auto-focus etc... (just examples). Eventually the final result sucks. They are all Mediocre rather then having a killer 1" Sensor with proper lense....
    • Video recording is very good in my opinion, OIS/EIS whatever the technology the result is very satisfying.
    • Ghost touches
      I never use NFC, I just turned it off instantly, have not had any ghost touches.
    • 90HZ and stutters
      On my PC I use 144Hz with G-SYNC. I am also a gamer, I REALLY appreciate the 90HZ, It's a game changer.
    • Speakers
      Best speakers I have ever heard on a smartphone.
    • Charging
      This is kind of annoying, but it's not ONEPLUS's fault I guess, I just bought like 5 QC 3.0 chargers for house/office/car, now they are all used slowly for the OP7PRO, I will probably buy a few USB-PD chargers. I don't care about wireless charging.
    • Battery
      So far it's been great. 6+ SOT on very high brightness, QHD/90HZ.
    • Bluetooth
      Generally it's working well, quick to connect etc.... no break ups (I use it in my car with APTX)What I don't like is that I can't connect to my Car's built in BT only for PHONE CALLS, while connecting to the Bose BT audio adapter aptx for Music. The phone keeps using the SBS car BT even though I have removed the Audio streaming setting for the CAR BT... This worked on my HTC perfectly.
    • Fingerprint/FrontCam unlock works for me very well

    Freeform review :

    I'll say it straight away, I love the phone. It's damn awesome.
    The software is great. The smoothness, and swiftness is just satisfying. The HDR 90HZ screen is a treat.
    I wish the camera was better. I would like it to have wireless charging but not really important, I wish it was a little but smaller.

    I fly racing drones so I use GoPro a lot. When I connect the microsd via USB-C card reader it is recognized instantly, copy speed is good, probably capped at SD-Card read speed. (it is an expensive one)

    I was quite sad that I couldn't TRIM a GoPro file (2.7K 30fps) with the built in gallery. I want a loseless trim, Maybe I'll wrap ffmpeg with some Frontend.

    I won't suggest this phone to anyone who cares about the camera. But I will for everything else.

    App installs, backup restores, everything that has to be done when switching a phone, all was so quick, such a breeze, smooth...

    Vibrator is great, feels very very tight and strong.

    Issues I experienced so far

    • First GPS use took almost 5 minutes on 4G + clear sky, after that the GPS started working.
    • Camera Issues :
    1. Soft - Not well focused photos
    2. Focus takes long, hard to understand from the viewfinder if focus was achieved or not.
    3. OIL painting effect is real, and it's pretty bad too.
    4. Nightscene mode doesn't give up and there is no way to cancel or go back - Just annoying.
    5. No focus peek mode
    6. Overexposed mostly, and seems washed out
    7. When I want to clean the lens, I have to clean 3 lenses ;)
    • Gestures not working in the dark
    • Application control gestures (back, home, task-switcher) are kinda hard to perform as the phone is so tall, and the case makes it even harder to perform the back gesture (you swipe your thumb up from the bottom right or left corner). Before OP7 I used the on-screen keys, and hitting the task switcher button twice to switch between 2 most recent apps is so fast and easy, with the gesture it's quite harder. Drag to middle, wait for a moment and drag right.
    • I think ram management can be better. But it's ok as it is. Waze gets killed sometimes....
    • App drawer that groups apps to categories by default, but fails to classify some apps, Couldn't find a way to manually add an app to a group, for example I installed Gcam, but it doesn't appear next to the Stock camera app in the Photos category.

    The Oneplus 7/7pro got hdr certification from Netflix, why didn't the 6t get the same treatment?

    OP7 Pro auto brightness glitch

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 11:29 AM PDT

    I have been having an issue with 7 Pro since basically day one with the auto brightness. I'll be sitting using the phone and the brightness will be completely fine, then all of a sudden it will go to what appears to be fully dim like you turned off all the lights or covered the ambient light sensor. If I put the phone to sleep for a few seconds and wake it back up it will go back to a normal brightness level but it's pretty annoying to have to do this several times a day. I've tried searching and haven't found any mention from anyone else having this specific issue, but I can't imagine it's a hardware fault since it works perfectly fine 95% of the time. It seems like a software issue. For reference, I keep the brightness slider at about 1/3 all the time with auto brightness always on.

    As an aside, what makes it worse is that the glare on this phone is the worst I've ever seen. Not just the curved sides, which I don't love either, but even the center of the display reflects overhead lights to a degree I honestly don't remember seeing on a smartphone for years.

    I can't enter short codes using my 7Pro on Tmobile

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 03:11 PM PDT

    I'm trying to set forwarding to my Google Voice #, but whenever I use the short code **61*1+PhoneNumber# , or any short codes for the matter, I get the error message "Connection problem or invalid MMI code."

    And when I try accessing the Call Forwarding menu in Phone Settings, I get the error message "Call settings error, Network or SIM card error."

    Tmobile blames this on Oneplus and being a unlocked factory phone. And oneplus is blaming Tmobile saying short codes are standard and it is their network rejecting the query. Oneplus suggested I get a new simcard.

    Any thoughts on why my phone can't access short codes or the Call Fowarding, or Caller ID menu in phone settings?

    Group Messaging Question

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 05:10 PM PDT

    Hello, I just moved from an Iphone to a Oneplus 7 Pro. The phone is great, I'm just having a problem with group messaging. I am able to send my message to the group and receive the messages as well but I don't know who specifically is writing the message back. Mine is blank on the side/ top of the message while my SO, which has a pixel, shows the name of the person on top of the message. Looks like I can hold the message to see the number that messaged back but that would be a hassle every time to see who is actually replying. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The pop up camera doesn't retract when used in other apps than "camera"

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 04:50 PM PDT

    As the title mentions... My nebula blue op7 pro doesn't retract it's camera when using it for whatsapp or whatsoever. Makes me more cautious of using it then.

    First charge on my new OP7 pro

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 07:53 AM PDT

    This thing has absolutely crazy battery life, which I can't kill in a day. I played Spotify on full volume for more than an hour on the phone, listened to YouTube videos on speaker and was on LTE most of the day(with dual SIM that is)

    Resolution set to auto and refresh rate at 90Hz.

    battery usage

    I can't even imagine how the battery will be if I switch to WiFi + single SIM, and when battery settles down after a week.

    I just discovered that, you can film wide angle videos with the built-in screen recorder. (OnePlus 7 pro)

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 06:17 PM PDT

    (For the people who didn't know) you can not film wide angle videos with the OnePlus 7 pro.

    Anyone elses OP7 Pro hear popping from the top speaker?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 05:55 PM PDT

    I've noticed it when I first got my phone a over a week ago that my top speaker already sounds blown, or something like it. I was just listening to the different ringtones and a lot of them have a popping sound coming from only the top speaker.

    I went to a T-Mobile store to compare their in store phone, and that too had the same popping noise.

    Is my phone and that stores phone random bad ones (as far as speakers go)? Or is this more common that I think?

    I haven't seen it mentioned in this sub at all.

    OnePlus 7 Pro Focus Issues

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 12:47 PM PDT

    Anyone else experiencing this? Photos I take up close don't seem to focus well, even when I try to manually focus them in the viewfinder, and the resulting picture is usually pretty out of focus except for dead center

    Eg I tried to take a picture of a flower and even when it focused in the viewfinder the picture wasn't properly focused well.

    Upgrade coming up, and considering a 7pro

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 07:43 PM PDT

    As the title says, I'm due for an upgrade soon. I am with Verizon and as soon as I saw that the 6t and 7pro were certified I got really excited, and still am. I've read that the OnePlus phones are still a little wonky with Verizon networks. My question is, what do you guys suggest, and what are your experiences from those who have a OnePlus with Verizon?

    Oneplus 7 pro

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 07:38 PM PDT

    I'm looking at getting a Oneplus 7 pro and have a question. I have AT&T and would like to keep it as I've got a killer deal. I want to know that if I order the phone from the website, is it unlocked and would allow me to use AT&T without having to switch to T mobile?

    OP7 Pro not booting

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 11:49 AM PDT

    Any ideas?

    I don't really want to go the support route, but I guess I'll probably have to.

    I tried the 15 second power boot trick, tried it while charging. Not getting anything.

    I was using it this morning, left it on my bedside table for an hour or two, came back and it was dead.

    As far as I know it had around a 50% charge when I left it alone this morning. I figured android crash, but it's not hard booting.

    How are the official one plus screen protector and nylon case?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 12:53 PM PDT

    Going to be picking up the 7 when it comes out in two days and wondering how people have found the official nylon case and 3d glass screen protector? It seems like they are the same for the 7 as they were for the 6 series

    Obviously in terms of case I want what everyone wants, a balance of protection without adding too much bulk to the phone.

    How have people found the screen protector? The Dbrand protector is tempting because of that fancy ad where they hammered the phone with a nail

    [Request] Guide to installing OxygenOS on Chinese OP7Pro

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 03:03 PM PDT

    Hi guys, I'm getting a Chinese OP7pro running Hydrogen OS, and I'd like to change to the standard Oxygen OS - I don't want to root or loose ability to use Netflix/google pay etc.

    What tool do I need? Where do I get the latest stable Oxygen ROM?

    I'm new to this, is there a guide I could follow? I'm thinking it might be this - https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3930862/page12#post79652430

    Thanks so much for your assistance!

    Alternative to iPhone control center?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 12:05 PM PDT

    So I got a new OnePlus 7 pro and am very happy with it, but it's also my first annoyed phone so it's an adjustment. I miss iPhone's swipe up menu, and I have having to swipe down twice from the top of my phone just to turn on the flashlight. Are there any cool Android alternatives? Like an app that can put the alarm app or flashlight in the app switcher? My phone came with Mobilego but it's very laggy

    Microphone problem also on OP7?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 06:57 AM PDT

    Hi, I've had the OP6T since December and I really like the phone, one of the only problems I have is that microphone works like shit with 3rd party apps and I can't find a fix (don't want to buy an external microphone). Is this problem a thing with OnePlus 7 Pro as well?

    Oneplus trade in program. Is this a good deal?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2019 05:07 PM PDT

    I have a Galaxy S10 and I am in love with the Oneplus 7 Pro. Oneplus is giving me $760 Canadian for my S10 (128 GB variant) which I got more than a month ago on contract. I will still have my contract on and will not have to pay anything to my carrier. Do you think its a good deal? Should I go for it?
