What performance level? Mines on balanced.

dwayneshintzy · 30-04-2015 9:24am

Mine is on balanced as well

I guess have a look in privacy and see if there's plenty of apps waking your phone/keeping it awake.

Otherwise give battery doctor a shot.

Mine has improved slightly since the update, but it's still dipping below 40% come evening. Android system seems to be the biggest offender. No idea what it's doing. I've used privacy guard on a large swathe of potential offenders & it has helped, except with snapchat which randomly likes to chew on my battery for no particular reason.

Thinking of starting from scratch & flashing 12.1 nightlies over the weekend. Does anyone know what exactly I'll lose switching from 12s to nightlies?

I'm noticing poorer battery performance on 12.0 also. Can you let me know how to take a screenshot in 12.0? It used to be an option in the power menu previously but isn't there any more.

Hold the power button and down volume rocker

You can enable it again. Settings> Buttons> Power Menu

Android system could be hiding anything, dodgy app trying to update or malware or worse. Get a battery app to have a detailed look.

Seems to be a number of users liking for additional battery info. I use this on several devices and find itvgreat https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hubalek.android.reborn.beta

Can easily check charging/discharging rates, how long left until fully charged. How long since last charge.

Using the charging rate feature I was able to check a bundle of USB leads and wall chargers to identify which would charge the fastest. They can vary from taking 12 minutes to only taking 2 minutes to charge 1%. (The official charger is not the best!).

which battery app?

Thargor · 30-04-2015 12:52pm

Look for articles and forum threads like this:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/find-apps-killing-android-battery/

Thats from 2014 but should be alright.

HI ,

I am considering purchasing one of these phones but reading down through the thread it seems people have a lot of issues with them,

Would people recommend them? I am out of contract and considering going sim only, alternatively I will be looking at an HTC m8 or something similar.

Thanks!

I know what you mean, but bear in mind people generally only post when they have problems! I imagine any long running thread on a phone will highlight issues.

The latest update has meant mine is back working perfectly, I'm very happy with it.

bradlente · 30-04-2015 1:15pm

Haven't restored factory settings yet but probably will soon enough,ever since the last Cyanogen or android update (not sure which it was) have had a good few problems.
Isn't streaming audio properly at all the file has to be downloaded and played through the music player and the download has to be initiated 3 or 4 times as it fails the first few times.Haven't noticed anything special about the battery power but I am using it constantly.Like I said before storage media not being read either.It's still not shít enough yet for me to actually put the effort in and wipe it to see if it improves.

I had that a few days back. Battery being hit hard but nothing obvious sanding out.
Still on 4.4.4 here so its not just 5.1
A few restarts sorted it out.

it also started on the tablet too and a few restarts sorted it out.

I'm about a month in and loving it. Came from a HTC One M7 on billpay with Three.

I thought long and hard about upgrading with Three but the cost of a good upgrade phone made my mind up for me.

I'll move to sim-only in July. I'll have covered the cost of the phone in the next 16 months from this saving, and have the liberty to swap networks as I want on a monthly rolling contract.

Will also save a bit more money from selling my old handset once it's unlocked when my contract runs out. (I bought the OnePlus early so I could get my M7 repaired under contract. They gave me a refurb handset so I'm hoping to get at least €150 for it when I unlock it.)

I think it's a good call anyway

Thanks natnifnolnacs and dubmess,

What kind of Battery life do you get on them?

MayoForSam · 30-04-2015 1:57pm

I've had my OPO for over a month now - it's a fantastic phone, I've only had a few minor quibbles, I recently upgraded to 5.0.2 and my battery life is excellent, about 50-70% used up after moderate-to-heavy usage every day.

I came from a Nexus 4 and I was a bit apprehensive about the size increase, but I've since gotten used to it (except for when my pockets are a bit tight fitting). Changing the DPI to 400 also worked out very well.

Battery life seems very subjective as you will see if you scroll through the thread

I'm getting about a day and a half after one month, which is more than I have had on any other smartphone I've owned.

That's as of now-ish. Unplugged at about 7.30am.

I have mine almost a year now and I highly recommend it.Brilliant battery life is the main highlight for me.I have had no problems of note and advise anyone thinking of buying it to take the plunge.I just don't think there is another phone out there that can beat it for price and spec.

Meanaspie · 30-04-2015 4:39pm

I'm having trouble pairing my one with my Parrot CK3000 in the car. The parrot shows up in my bluetooth menu and accepts the password but then continually shows as pairing on my one. Any ideas?

CD8ED · 30-04-2015 4:53pm

I've had mine a few months now as well and its brilliant. Really can't praise it enough. I came from an iphone 4 and the difference is chalk and cheese. I'd never go back to OSx

DarkPassenger · 30-04-2015 6:25pm

Power bank is available at the moment

My phone hasn't updated yet, but I was having crazy issues with Bluetooth the last while - phone wouldn't pair with anything, or connect.

Parrot, Radio in the kitchen etc.

Then, out of the blue, just started working again.
