I can paste another hundred links to this list
To add to the misery of some who purchased the phone, the oneplus team is not even confirmimg if they will be providing a fix to all those issues and bugs being faced on their device
I need all of you to raise your concerns and ask the reviewers to include these issues in their reviews by updating them and forcing oneplus team to fix these issues as soon as possible.
Edited: This thread does not target any specific person so let's be respectful to each other and avoid personal attacks.

A list of mostly minor ROM problems.
Sit down and wait for updates.
How many bugs did S7 have when it was released?
How many bugs did iPhone 6SE/iOS 9 have when it was released?
When was the last time you wrote to Samsung/Apple support and they confirmed anything about fixing a problem you were having?

I agree that poor ram management, poor video audio, nonfunctional OIS in 1080p ahold have easily been spotted by reviewers. It's disappointing that we found out about these things after paying for the device.

Agree to your post, but the issues being faced are of the level that they are not allowing a proper daily use of the phone like i am not gettinf push notifications when the phone is standby causing to miss emails and messages.
And sometimes the phone goes completely silent and does not ring causing to miss phone calls n messages
Now these are basics of a phone.. other issues could have been avoided. have you faced such issues with other phones?

I look at OnePlus 3 purchase like buying a new car. You test drive it, initially everything seems perfect and them specs (under the hood) is irresistible. Sometime you have a recall or new programming (updates) and certain things you don't like (example like that rattle in the trunk that won't go away) that will be never be fixed or covered. (No updates). At this point, I am just glad we have xda (who will come up with these fixes-like rattle) modifications and that it's not a lemon.

[Q] Loud Popping/"Gunfire" sound on CM9

Hi all,
I just installed CM9 on my Touchpad earlier today, and whenever I try to perform ANY task with sound (e.g. typing on the keyboard, receiving a notification, playing music, etc.), I hear a loud, sharp series of static-filled pops, almost like the sound of gunfire on one of the old G.I. Joe tanks I played with as a kid.
I've searched multiple forums, but couldn't find any specific issues such as this. Everything else seems to be working well so far, I just don't know if it's something I can potentially fix, if I should reflash, or if I totally messed something up!
FWIW, the Touchpad was jailbroken before, but I don't think that matters for a different partition.(?)
- Anyway, the tablet is running CM build 9-20120329 Nightly tenderloin (Build# IML74K)
Thanks in advance for any help!

To say you searched and found no info is pretty much a lie since it's a well documented issue some Touchpads have with audio.... If the last few nightly ROMs don't fix it then you have one of those Touchpads that is just gonna have issues

You are foolish. Dead stupid, in fact. I searched, and unless you'd like to link it up, the "documented" audio issues involve audio not working, speaker/headset confusion, and static or distortion occurring especially when the screen shut off. NOTHING about not working at all.
I fixed it on my own, but not with thanks to you. Since calling you a douchebag could violate forum rules, I'll simply state that your attitude would be symptomatic of having the personality of a douche.
And I got it fixed by myself, by the way. Clown.

Cdzo.... How have you not been banned yet. I've yet to see you do anything but put people down in the touchpad section. For someone who claims numerous times to never have been spoonfed anything and always finds solutions on their own.. You don't seem to know a whole heck of a lot.
Anyhow, have you tried doing a clean install? Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik or try another ROM?

And if you're going to use nightly builds I would suggest going with a more recent one.. I have no issues with the latest.

I would suggest that you use the latest nightly build to... if you're still experiencing the error after flashing. Then I suggest that you use webos doctor to format the touchpad and reinstall cm9 without any MODS. (Have you applied the Mic Fix?)

Yeah you know a lot too dontcha... especially since you suggested go with a recently nightly just like I did.
Why have I not been banned? That's easy! I haven't cursed or flamed anyone! I merely call it like it is. Just like those that tell me not to read the newbie posts that clutter the forum, my advice to the rest of you is the same... if you don't like what I have to say to a post then don't read it. Just like the newbie thinks they can post without putting forth some effort then I think I can respond what the VAST majority of the more experienced would like to say but don't dare or just don't have the time.

although if you followed the 'advice' of others about not posting that kind of stuff...it would have a bigger effect than you telling others not to read your post. i'm not suggesting you to be banned....but leave the moderating to the mods....im sure one day they'll get fed up of the same threads being made again and again and again and decide to put their foot down. Till then just offer advice without the bluntness. at the end of the day it's not like you're hosting xda that all these threads are taking up your server space and you end up paying more, so chill out
its not like what you're saying is total bs (unlike countless others ive seen)....there are other ways to say it though and yours isn't really a good way. That's how i call it, regardless of what others are saying for you to be banned for just pointing out that someone's done something SLIGHTLY wrong (albeit with some anger)

czdo, I'm waiting for the link to the specific problem that I was having. Since your searching prowess is vastly superior to mine, it shouldn't be a problem for you. Unless you really are just trying to be a jerk. Prove someone wrong or get off the pot.
This is me, a n00b, calling you out.
Thank you to the two others who suggested the latest nightlies. I had seen that the build I used had few reported problems other than Wifi, so I tried that first before I went to anything newer!

A read about the forum state regarding Kit Kat OTA update

This is not a rant or a moan or whatever you want to call it. This is just clearing a few things up after the last few days what i have been reading on the forum.
Firstly support for N4 will still be there after this update, and i am sure we have at least one more major update to come for our beloved device. People saying that our phone will be next are just talking rubbish. People all over the forum are crying thinking that our device will be next. Until a confirmation from Google can people please stop with the conspiracy theories.
Also regarding with the launcher. Now i am not that really bothered if it gets released or not as i do not use Google Now. But again were is the official confirmation that the launcher will not be included for our device? There is none. Just tech sites writing there stuff as usual and every one is lapping it up and making a fuss.
I love my phone and i do not see a reason why i should upgrade to the Nexus 5. I do not want though people in the forum to start moaning about things that are not official yet from the God itself which is Google. Yes they are not perfect but until the actual release gets to our device and we have things missing then fine all hell can break lose.
Oh and one last thing. Yes am gutted that we not got the update soon as the release came out but we are still the first to get it were other mega devices are not getting it at least December or Xmas the earliest..So am still thankful for the Nexus line. But that will start not meaning anything soon anyway if they carry this new strategy of there to put money first before anything else.
But till then please take a chill pill people.
This will get shut down and deleted am sure but i just wanted people to read this and seriously take it easy till there is ACTUAL CONFIRMATION by GOOGLE THEMSELVES..
Mods sorry if this should not be here but sometimes a man has enough when reading through the forums and having whiny kids whine all the time.
And to add...We are XDA...If things go missing and are not included in the build that our beloved N4 should get then people trust our great and respectful Developers here who are if you do not mind me saying better than those at Google..We will have those features that the N5 has and if not should be better build than stock...So please show your support for our devs and less whining and help this place for newbies instead of moaning all the time about something that has not been confirmed yet
:highfive: for you!
This is exactly my opinion on the subject.
If you are on XDA, odds are that you know how to mod your phone, and believe me, everything that will not come with the official OTA will be made avaliable soon here on XDA.
Right, you might need root, you can argue you do not want to root but then what is the point of your anger if you do not want to take action to get something you want?
Just wait for Google to release the OTA and everything will be clear!
Should be soon I guess

exactly my friend. until something has been confirmed i do not understand why people are panicking. and by the next update which will be by summer time our phone should be more than capable to handle it and i am sure we are in for that to. phones should have a support from the OS development team ie Google at least maximum two years...so why are people are stressed is beyond me.
Now as the Galaxy Nexus that is a strange one and Google should state the reasons why they are not supporting it but again that is nothing to do with me or concerns me..But for people to start saying that the N4 is next is beyond silly to say

Sure there is confirmation. It is not included in the Nexus 7 WiFi KitKat update. And Google confirmed it with The Verge and said it is possible they will bring it to other devices other than the N5 someday but not initially.
Great post OP.. You know what I think it is? Purely my opinion after mulling over how absolutely weird the 4.4 rollout and release has been.
Ever been in a corporate environment where someone important is replaced? It's hell.. JBQ left and was replaced.. So here you have a new guy who is pulling the old corporate "I'm new and have to flex my superiority and change things to make it look like I'm doing something different and being productive" (ie: Fishing for his next promotion).. This happens in nearly every business.. It's hilarious to watch happen in real life because most employees know it's coming.. 3 months later after everyone hates the new guy and his useless changes everything goes right back to the way it was. I'm certain all the rumblings this is causing is being heard..

It has to do with the Ti core not being supported anymore. Also, not being supported by Ti did not meant it doesn't work for Galaxy Nexus, just means Google would not support a device without former support to its hardware.
Anyways, Galaxy Nexus got 4.4 already, go Install it

To be honest the reason why i opened this thread is to get my opinion about the many things that i have read on the forum. Many false information that is going around by others is beyond ridiculous because they listen to tech sites most of them without any proper confirmation by Google itself...Now as to regarding the updates that are coming for our device if there is an official changelog by Google to say what are the changes from the older nexus devices compare to the N5 then i will eat my hat if it is out already stating what we are getting and missing out on..
But again people forget that XDA is here to help..Hence why we should not be ranting and raving
What am trying to say is that i want this thread to stick to a proper adult discussion about our device regarding the build that we should get..And i do not want people to give mis-information till we get it from the Big Boss itself

I can understand your point here OP but, the purpose of forums such as this one is to allow for open discussion on a topic. I see no issue with speculation or assumption as long as people keep their heads. That is, after all, what makes things interesting and keeps people intrigued. If we went purely on the facts at hand 100% of the time, discussions would end fairly quickly and most forums would be desolate places.

Xiaomi breaks GPL at any chance they get unfortunately. They do release sources but take forever to do so, also saw that exact behavior on a friends moto g, I believe it was a android bug, probably fixed on 4.4.4

Most phones out if china are not held to copyright laws due to their government. This is why these devices are only officially released in countries that don't respect the hard copy righted work of others. The GPL being one of them. Not to mention that the min they try apple will have them wrapped up in enough lawsuits it would but the company under.

Back Button Issue - Hardware Defect!

I am letting all Note 4 users that have a back button issue know why. This is not many, but I did find this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/capacitive-button-sensitivity-t2911753
But because that thread started with about being with AT&T, when in fact, it is a general Note 4 issue, I started a thread in this section.
So it isn't a general Note issue, it's just a manufacturing defect on a very limited number of devices.
Hardly a clarion call that all Note 4 owners need to pay attention to.
Regards,
Dave
A manufacturing defect.... Thanks for all your help!
It isn't nice to make fun of someone who is only trying to help others. When I had this issue, I couldnt find anyone else having this problem so it was confusing as to why it wasn't working and if it was just how I was doing it. This forum section said only to not post a question, which this isn't.
If you can read, I said it was for people who had this issue, not All note 4 people. I bet you also made fun of those other people who had a thread subject in this forum that didnt apply to everyone, didn't you?
Get a life!
On the 2 Note 4s I've had I needed to press harder than I did on my GS4. It's not a huge issue and it seems like a lot of Note 4s are this way and people just may not notice. I am also running a glass screen protector though, which makes it even less sensitive. But again, not a deal breaking issue. Now the screen inconsistencies, that's annoying as hell.

"Like you all" strongly suggests that the entire Note 4 community was experiencing this issue, which clearly they are not.

7.1.2 won't be for Shamu?

Reading that Google is working on 7.1.2 I'm wondering if it will be also for Shamu. What's your prognosis?
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/01/get-sneak-peek-at-android-nougat-712.html
Only way to get 7.1.2 will be via custom ROMS, funny enough they are still updating that rubbish Nexus Player, which is the same age as the N6 and 9.
I'm sure they will release a 7.1.2 for N6 to officially fix the speakerphone bug
It will come when the final is released.
Actually...
http://www.droid-life.com/2017/01/3...7-1-2-update-will-still-see-security-patches/
Actually, nobody needs anymore fix this and break that from #Google. I would wait for PN or whatever rom here in XDA.
When logging in to their beta portal my Nexus 6 is no longer enrolled for Beta so it's looking a tad bleak.
I do hope we get an official fix for the speakerphone bug one way or another though.

i Believe in lineageos only , they still support nexus 4 with 7.1.1 so dont worry our n6 will be supported by them
I'm so depressed by this news that I decided not to wait for Google to fix the speakerphone problem and installed Yoinx's fix (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70663169&postcount=81 - thanks, @Oxicottin). I'm astonished that Google would leave the N6 in a broken state, but maybe that's just life...
So going forward I'll be relying on our excellent developers, and I too am looking at LineageOS as well as Pure, Nitrogen, etc.
I want to tread carefully here, because I mean no disrespect to anyone, but my only concern is the number of comments I've seen about Cyanogenmod and its bugs (I have not tried it on my N6, so I have no personal knowledge). Given that LineageOS is the descendant of CM, is that concern valid?
And perhaps this is a good place to ask for feedback on which ROM is best-placed for my purpose and for anyone else interested in long-term maintenance of their device? I don't need bells and whistles, just a ROM where every standard function works.
I know from my long reading experience in XDA that the temptation will be to say "Try them all and see", but it makes more sense to me to ask for opinions from people who have already done that - given that I'm not looking for the all-singing all-dancing perfect ROM, just stable functionality.

I haven't tried LineageOS yet, but Cyanogenmod has always been rock solid for me.
For what you're asking "every standard function works", all of the Custom ROMs you quoted will work.
I used Pure Nexus for quite a while and I loved it! It's based on the latest branch from Google (r13), and have lots of tweaks to look like a Pixel. You should try it
@dahawthorne: The speakerphone fix will be in the security updates. That said, we all will need to rely on custom ROMs from this point on if we want new features.
I've used Pure Nexus from day 1 with few complaints.
Sigh this world is filled with idiots...
The beta versions are only available for the latest devices, guess what? Nexus 6 is not something you can call latest. Afterwards it will be released to all devices.
Same has happened with the 7.1 beta.
It annoys me to read apocalypse stories everytime this happens and nobody is sane enough to logically think back to the last time this happened.
@seahorsepip
I don't get your point. Am I the idiot, or is this disrespectful comment intended to insult everyone?
Where exactly do you source the comment "Afterwards it will be released to all devices" given that there are at least two posted references in this thread stating the opposite?
And your tolerance level seems to be very low. Perhaps you should try yoga?

I have a good feeling for that too, I would say (based on anything) that the speakerphone issue will be addressed in the 7.1.1 February security patch.

Guess it's time to switch from PureNexus to something else.
People shouldnt be surprised. We all knew this was gonna happen years ago when we bought the device. But to be honest, this is XDA. Who cares about official.

I think it was directed at everyone, and its genesis is a reading comprehension failure on @seahorsepip's part.
I'm sure he'll have a stinging rebuke at the ready, but no amount of insults will change the facts here. This device is not getting Android 7.1.2 from Google. Custom ROMs will be the only way to upgrade from this point on.
I'm prepared for the future. Is anyone else?

Willing to bet we get 7.1.2 when it's out of beta.
This is exactly the same story as with 7.1, everyone and every news site was saying it was the n6 EOL just because it wasn't part of the beta, while the beta clearly states "latest devices only".
Reading comprehension failure, seriously? Besides the absurd choice and combination of words in that sentence it's not a matter of reading, it's a matter of sources. Currently not a single article has a definitive source that states it's the nexus 6 EOL. All articles just assume its the nexus 6 EOL because it's a nice clickbait article just like it was back with the previous betas.
@seahorsepip: Droid Life confirmed it with Google in a follow-up to the initial announcement on their site. Now, if that isn't satisfactory, and given how hostile your first post on this thread is it probably won't be, send a message to Google and ask them yourself. In the meantime, I'll be doing something more meaningful than having a battle of wits with an unarmed person.
