I’m still never going back to OP after they fucked up Oxygen OS. I held onto that OP 7T Pro for the longest time.
Writing this on op6 with lineage. They changed the battery for 60 bucks and it still has an up-to-date Android. Great phone.
Yup, never going back to 1+!
Still using it with a custom Rom. Why did you ditch yours?
I could never get Google Pay working properly with a custom ROM. Plus the screen looks like this:
Ouch. Yeah, GPay is somewhat unstable, but I haven’t found a phone to replace it with so far. Just bought a new battery and backplate
I dropped it with a pop socket on the back and it landed right on the pop socket. You can see where it pushed through the display and caused that circular crack. It was maybe 80% as bad when it happened, the other 20% happened after using it for a year like that. I got so used to reading text only on the top half of the screen 🤣 I loved that phone so much I didn’t want to get rid of it which I only did because large pieces of glass were coming out.
I ended up getting a Pixel 7 Pro. I only ever had Google phones before the 1+ so it made sense just to switch back after the direction 1+ took around that time.
It’s a great phone. Love the elevator camera, no notch, nice size. Too bad they folded like the rest of the industry and now only do notches or punch holes. Did you put a screen protector on it or how did you not cut yourself on that mess :D?
I’m hoping one of the next pixels comes with an underscreen camera, then I can get one to put grapheneos on it.
Please, please bring back wireless charging. I hate my Pixel 7 pro so much and want to go back to OP, but I can’t use a phone without wireless charging.
What do you hate about the P7? I was planning to get one, but you made me doubt.
Horrible battery. Doesn’t last even close to a full day. 18:00 here and my phone is at 6%. Will be dead in <1 hour. Was fully charged at 8:00. Typical use. I don’t play games on my phone.
What’s worse is it takes forever to charge compared to OP. 20W max. Wireless charging is only useful overnight. Takes like 6 hours.
Constant, fucking Bluetooth issues. I mean constant. There’s a bug with Samsung watch so every time I answer the phone caller cannot hear me until I cycle through speakers. Even without watch connected you never know which BT device will connect when answering the phone (if any.) Sometimes nothing at all works. My personal favorite is it will sometimes randomly switch to a different BT device mid call. I’ll be on headset and will suddenly start hearing the call through my watch.
Android auto works like shit. Wired is sort of tolerable, wireless barely works. Interrupting audio, constant disconnects or just refusal to connect.
Absolute shit reception. I didn’t think it was possible to have worse reception than iphone, but pixel is so much worse.
Overall 3/10. Love the spam call filtering and camera, but rest is my worst experience with a phone ever.
P. S. I’m down to 4% while I typed this message. Fuck pixel. Buy something else.
I was thinking of getting a Pixel if the price dropped enough, but I just can’t live with a shitty battery no matter the price. That’s one of my dealbreakers. OP12 is potentially my next phone though.
Thanks for your answer. The battery and Bluetooth issues are certainly a deal-breaker, I guess I’ll look somewhere else 😅
Don’t the Pro OP phones still support Qi? I’m pretty sure my OP 9 Pro does.
The 11 (no Pro model) dropped it.
I think 9 was the last version to use it
Moto X vibes, loved that phone
