One suggestion I would add: don't set double tap action on any of the capacitive buttons because it increases the latency of response. The reason: software waits extra time to check if you would tap it second time. You can easily feel the difference in comparison to on-screen buttons and you can see it multiple times throughout the video ( 9:29 )
You're right. I noticed this when I had triple tab to magnify once. I thought my phone was freaking slow as hell, but when I turned it off became blazin' fast again (OnePlus One)
thing to add to the video, some versions of the oneplus3 seem to not have the colour tint adjust to the screen. there is a invert colour notification menu button (you have to edit the features in your notifications menu to enable it) which is very handy for people with poor eyesight my uncle has 15% vision and this feature is a literal godsend for him! I don't think i've seen this in regular android versions also the dark modes save battery aswell as make it easier on the eyes and look badass ;) AMOLED displays adjust brightness of each pixel individually, so having black themes and menus can really cut on battery life since a display will use the majority of your battery.
I recently received the 3T. I have my phone set to dark mode, but my shelf is still bright white. Idk how to get that to change. Also, I notice that the 3T has an option to sound the alarm even I'd the phone is turned off. I think that is one of the coolest, most useful features ever.
Jay M Yes. But I think maybe it needs to be plugged in. I tried it unplugged and it didn't work. But I only set it for a few minutes ahead of time just to try it. So that might have been why it didn't work unplugged. But it definitely works while plugged in and turned off. It's amazing.
Hi..please let me know after update the phone in 3.2 ver may by..... the some people are saying that the USB OTG unable to support, so please explain or clear this things...because I am supposing to buy this phone. Thank You in advance.
Dear Sir. I know I'm late to the party but that was an awesome overview. I'm visiting Android for the first time and found your handholding pace solid. Only once or twice did I have to backclick and 'say what?' The two things that are kinda unclear to this iPhone user is dictation. That is: I'm in a text and want to 'speak' instead of type. I'm told there's a little mic there on the keyboard but it's impossible to activate. I'll look elsewhere for an answer unless someone wants to chime in. It's a GREAT phone. It humiliates my iPhone 6 from two years ago. When I sell my 6 this phone will be like under $200. :heart:
Thanks. It turns out the phone defaults to the Swiftkey (?) keyboard. The mic icon is TINY and shared with the comma. I didn't get I was supposed to lean on it to activate. When I switched to the Google keyboard the mic was more prominent.
I don't think it's possible to do it with the innate settings, but download Nova launcher (free version) and you'll have the choice to allow 5 icons in a row on the homescreen.
Anyway to adjust the volume of the speaker without touching the actual volume rocker button? I watch TH-cam videos on my OnePlus One a lot and I get really annoyed when I have to change volume with the actual button. I feel like at some point I'm going to wear that button out.
Buttons are designed to last over 100,000 uses. You aren't going to wear the button out any time soon. My mom's iPhone 5 (2013), my dad's Samsung that I have no idea what it's called (like 2010?), my old Moto G (2013) and my iPod Touch 5th gen (2012) all have perfectly working buttons. It's not an issue.
Hey! A quick and I think easy question for oneplus 3 owners. How do you change the default application settings? This is not for me but for my girlfriend who is a new android user so a step by step guide would be most appreciated. I think she is using the onplus default launcher instead of the oxygen one. I'm not sure if that matters. Thanks!
I've got a question. It would appear that on the oneplus 3, the youtube app does not (yet) support videos shot in 60fps. It plays them in 480p. Is there anyway to fix this? Or do we just have to wait and hope that either oneplus or youtube fix this?
Also when you change the screen light.. It shows you how it looks like! Bdw i like the black/white mode(2:44)is there an option to put that as default wake? And the screen rotation reacts pretty slow.. Any fix?
I have a Vibe Z and most of the things presented here were already present in its original launcher. However the Vibe Z came with A LOT of bloat ware. Is this the case for OneplusThree ?
what is the easiest way to put music from apple mac mini on the phone? The cable don't do anything and bleutooth is way to slow. Do i need to buy a different cable then the charge one?
I just got my OnePlus3 and I guess I am stupid...I can not get the text to work..when I call up a contact and push the "text" icon..the text screen POPS up and immediately goes away...what am I doing wrong???
Any 6P users get rid of their 6P to get a OPO3? Good decision? Bad Decision? I love my 6P but the thing moving me towards the OPO3 is the smaller size, 820 processor, and better battery. Just wondering if I should wait for the 2016 Nexus devices first before jumping ship.
I would wait if you can because Oneplus is horrible with updates as everyone knows not to mention their customer support is TERRIBLE at least with google you can talk to someone 24/7 in English Also the screen sucks 5.5 with 401ppi = seeing individual pixels returned mine
+stillouthere how tf u see individual pixels....even on my 179 dollar ZTE warp elite which is also 5.5 inches u can't see the pixels😂😂 u need to get yo eyes checked....any phone 400 based is a biggg upgrade for me but seriously that's not good....putting the phone to ur eyes like that
Sir today i received my 1+3 from amazon, and on charging within 5 min it got heated too much and reached about 60% charge. Because of this heat disipation i unpluged it and within another five minutes the charge came down to 32%. all during this time no app was running other than charging. Is it normal for the first day or something is wrong? should i talk to amazon customer help lines.
i have one.... left it on charge.... from 0 to full and the phone itself barely has any heat slightly warmer then my hand they have the bit that gets warm in the charger itself. (normally in the phone)
If the screen automatically turns off when you put the phone close to your ear during calls, then there should be nothing wrong with the proximity sensor. Proximity wake requires you to wave your hand slowly over the sensor, which is right next to the front facing camera lens.
Dennis Xu ;Thanks for your suggestion. After some day's use, I came to know that this mode doesn't work when the phone is in "Battery Saver" mode. What I thought was the proximity wake is totally not working in my phone since I used to keep my phone in "Battery Saver" mode almost all time.
i ordered from oneplus.net and its about a 3 week wait. Amazon is quicker but has 3 negatives. 1.)It's selling for $500-550. Buying directly from 1+, its only $400. 2.)The ones on amazon are international editions of the phone which doesn't come with a USA warranty. 3.)1+ also offers extra coverage for accidental spills and damage. $65 for 18 months and $80 for 24 months.
Oneplus is having a shortage with its AMOLED displays so it's taking much longer for the phone to ship. In some areas, the company stopped sales all together. I ordered two Oneplus 3s. The first one, a soft gold version, came within a week. It was crazy fast. The second one, the graphite version, took around 3 weeks. That's just my personal experience (In Canada btw).
I'd settle for that. But the phone has a non-removable battery tho. Pls tell me what phone out there expect the joke that is the LG G5 has a removable battery?
The display resolution looks just as good as qhd. Remember when Apple was selling "retina" shit? Well, this is way over Retina. Meaning you can't see the pixels, it's really sharp. The battery is a given for all modern smartphones.
While I would certainly be happier if it were a 1440p screen, it's not a big deal on a screen this small. You'd be hard pressed to notice a difference.
so if you can see notifications from the lock screen and even interact with them, What is the f point of having a lock screen at all_???? Or am I missing smth here?
Alexei Cáceres I have the 3t, it helps you see what the notification is without having to open the phone, I have mine set to private sub it shows what apps are sending notifications,
Near Field Communication? Allows phone to exchange info with a short distance without a cable. I think you can give/get contact info just by putting 2 phone next to each other. I don't know for sure. (i don't have a phone, yet)

Yeah that is so annoying.It creates such a terrible OCD to me.Regardless,I love this phone!
Actually really awesome that you added that. I have never thought about this, but it makes sense :)
+Ryan Talukder yeah, I love this phone too, it's lightening fast. Little things like that are important though, hope they'll fix it in future updates.
+Alexander Winkel no problem, glad I helped. BTW leave a thumbs up, guys, so others could see
You're right. I noticed this when I had triple tab to magnify once. I thought my phone was freaking slow as hell, but when I turned it off became blazin' fast again (OnePlus One)
1:52 "if you have got your fingers" naah ...i am a freaking alien
I think the oneplus 3 is the first phone I won't install nova on :)
SAME!
couldn't agree more!
But I REALLY want iOS like badges.
I can't wait to get mine...I really really love this phone.I just hope that they are still selling it here..
Get the 3T after it's out in 2 days!
I actually prefer Oxygen OS over stock Android
Yeah, it adds a good amount of useful features.
Watching this on my oneplus 😆
Dalvin Tan same 😂
What an amazing video! Really helpful for people who have newly purchased this phone. Many thanks and thumbs up!
You summarized it all. Congrats.
I'm watching this while checking the shipping notifications for my 3T
Same here
Can we use other USB C chargers with oneplus 3 even without dash charging?
best review ever honestly !!!
thing to add to the video, some versions of the oneplus3 seem to not have the colour tint adjust to the screen.
there is a invert colour notification menu button (you have to edit the features in your notifications menu to enable it)
which is very handy for people with poor eyesight my uncle has 15% vision and this feature is a literal godsend for him! I don't think i've seen this in regular android versions

Watching this on my OP3T. Thanks for revealing so much stuff abt this phone.
Excellent! Very detailed video.
Good video & quite informative. Thanks for the tips...
Thank you so much especially for dash charge notice
Well Detailed, really liked it
watching this in my oneplus 3T🙂
Would be good if you could time code each tip in the description.
Great video. Thanks!
Hey ..Can you let me know which Tempered Glass you're using ?
I'm lil confused about which Tempered Glass to use coz of the curved edges.
Can you add more stuff to the quick settings?
Thank you so much! It was helpful indeed :D
I recently received the 3T. I have my phone set to dark mode, but my shelf is still bright white. Idk how to get that to change. Also, I notice that the 3T has an option to sound the alarm even I'd the phone is turned off. I think that is one of the coolest, most useful features ever.
Can OP3 sound the alarm even if the phone is off?
Jay M Yes. But I think maybe it needs to be plugged in. I tried it unplugged and it didn't work. But I only set it for a few minutes ahead of time just to try it. So that might have been why it didn't work unplugged. But it definitely works while plugged in and turned off. It's amazing.

Thank You in advance.
Cant find the setting to costumize the Status Bar?
For some reason the option to change the Google search bar as shown at 11:50 isn't there on my new 3T?
Did they move this option elsewhere?
Great review. Thanks a lot
hi I want to use radio offline in my OnePlus three

thanks and regards
kunal
Thankyou helped a lot
Thats good video actually.. it'll help me when I'll get one 1+3t
Can you play music over usb?
hey how can I share app by Bluetooth in one +3
How do you remove widget's from shelf?
Hold the widget down and swipe to the right. The shelf requires you to have at least one widget though.

SCREENPLAYHOUSE LLC it's not actually hard to open the voice texting, just open your keyboard then click the little mic next to the suggested words :)
Thanks. It turns out the phone defaults to the Swiftkey (?) keyboard. The mic icon is TINY and shared with the comma. I didn't get I was supposed to lean on it to activate. When I switched to the Google keyboard the mic was more prominent.
The customization option is not available
Can you get 5 icons in a row across the home screen or just 4? thanks
Dan Leicester It's possible to get more icons in a row.
Tijmen ten Kate I've tried to put 5 across and it just moved one upwards or the way, I have the icons at the smallest setting too
I don't think it's possible to do it with the innate settings, but download Nova launcher (free version) and you'll have the choice to allow 5 icons in a row on the homescreen.
Oneplus 3T don't have that color balance slider. Why is that?
Anyway to adjust the volume of the speaker without touching the actual volume rocker button? I watch TH-cam videos on my OnePlus One a lot and I get really annoyed when I have to change volume with the actual button. I feel like at some point I'm going to wear that button out.

Go to Settings>Apps>top right corner 'Maybe' ... don't have OnePlus 3 but i think it should be there ..
kisses to your girlfriend😘😘😘😄😄
Thanks. As far as the kisses go, it is good to have dreams.
I've got a question. It would appear that on the oneplus 3, the youtube app does not (yet) support videos shot in 60fps. It plays them in 480p. Is there anyway to fix this? Or do we just have to wait and hope that either oneplus or youtube fix this?
It was fixed in an update awhile ago. Source: I own the device
what's the better, sony Xperia xz or oneplus 3t
3T every single day.
Also when you change the screen light.. It shows you how it looks like!
Bdw i like the black/white mode(2:44)is there an option to put that as default wake?
And the screen rotation reacts pretty slow.. Any fix?
can power bank be used on this phone if so how to use the same?
It uses potatoes so no
Has anyone had problems with group texts? How do I enable them?
Ended up with google messenger, happy with this fix.
I have a Vibe Z and most of the things presented here were already present in its original launcher. However the Vibe Z came with A LOT of bloat ware. Is this the case for OneplusThree ?
No bloatware at all on the oneplus :)
how u go back without on screen nevigation button?
capacitive buttons.. same row as fingerprint scanner.. its better without them. more screen space.
Should I Wait to Buy the OnePlus T3???
the battery difference is only 300 mAh not 500
Don't you mean 400 mAh
its +400mah
RedDevilus hahaha yea 400 idk why it put 300
and a better chipset
what is the easiest way to put music from apple mac mini on the phone? The cable don't do anything and bleutooth is way to slow. Do i need to buy a different cable then the charge one?
think there isnt an easy way with mac
bebon thanx
Found a way, upload it to Google drive and then download. Takes ages 🙁
will one plus 3 get the Nouget upgrade or will it remain with marshmallow.
It'll get Nougat, eventually.
I just got my OnePlus3 and I guess I am stupid...I can not get the text to work..when I call up a contact and push the "text" icon..the text screen POPS up and immediately goes away...what am I doing wrong???
Any 6P users get rid of their 6P to get a OPO3? Good decision? Bad Decision?
I love my 6P but the thing moving me towards the OPO3 is the smaller size, 820 processor, and better battery. Just wondering if I should wait for the 2016 Nexus devices first before jumping ship.
wait
good move. I did it, and I feel happy about it
I would wait if you can because Oneplus is horrible with updates as everyone knows not to mention their customer support is TERRIBLE at least with google you can talk to someone 24/7 in English
Also the screen sucks 5.5 with 401ppi = seeing individual pixels returned mine
+stillouthere how tf u see individual pixels....even on my 179 dollar ZTE warp elite which is also 5.5 inches u can't see the pixels😂😂 u need to get yo eyes checked....any phone 400 based is a biggg upgrade for me but seriously that's not good....putting the phone to ur eyes like that
+donte pearce it's common complaint about the oneplus 3 search it if you think I'm lying
where do you download icon packs
The Google Play store!

thanks!!
Sir today i received my 1+3 from amazon, and on charging within 5 min it got heated too much and reached about 60% charge. Because of this heat disipation i unpluged it and within another five minutes the charge came down to 32%. all during this time no app was running other than charging. Is it normal for the first day or something is wrong? should i talk to amazon customer help lines.
Sridhar krishnappa navanertham you should absolutely talk to the Amazon customer care because this kind of problem is not normal for any phone....
Definitely not normal for the Oneplus 3. Mine does heat up at all while charging.
anyway to turn the shelf back to stock android google now shelf?
just install the Google now launcher, on Android the home screen is just app so it can be replaced
ok thanks
How to use radio in oneplus 3
will it get heat while charging??
Thank you..
Might not overheat but will definitely get warm when charging and used
Barely
i have one.... left it on charge.... from 0 to full and the phone itself barely has any heat slightly warmer then my hand they have the bit that gets warm in the charger itself. (normally in the phone)
Does dark mode work on non-stock apps?
OF COURSE
does double tap anywhere to sleep work?
It doesn't have that feature.
I really want to see this phone in person!!! I want to get it, but want to try it out first.
I was the same. Then I said fuck it and bought it and i love this thing.
+NkTa I did the exact same thing here lol, only thing I'm waiting for is 60fps compatibility on TH-cam
flammabletoe317 ME TOO. I even posted on reddit asking about it and people told me it was coming soon I guess.
+flammabletoe317 this phone can't play 60fps video on TH-cam?
+NkTa can you explain why this phone can't play 60fps TH-cam video?
Thumbs up for night mode and notification switch!
Bro Swirski moto z play
Can someone please tell me how can I delete all the contacts from my OnePlus 3 and by all contacts I mean all contacts.
"Proximity wake" mode doesn't work on my OnePlus.... What settings should I need to manage in order to make it work?? Someone pls suggest me
watch his other part: 10first things todo
If the screen automatically turns off when you put the phone close to your ear during calls, then there should be nothing wrong with the proximity sensor. Proximity wake requires you to wave your hand slowly over the sensor, which is right next to the front facing camera lens.

Gaurab Ghimire Makes sense. Just learnt something new :3
Hi +droid life, what is the delivery time of this phone??
depends on where u order it
on oneplus.net its 1 month but on amazon it will be much quicker
i ordered from oneplus.net and its about a 3 week wait. Amazon is quicker but has 3 negatives. 1.)It's selling for $500-550. Buying directly from 1+, its only $400. 2.)The ones on amazon are international editions of the phone which doesn't come with a USA warranty. 3.)1+ also offers extra coverage for accidental spills and damage. $65 for 18 months and $80 for 24 months.

Never settled except for 1080p display and removable battery
I'd settle for that. But the phone has a non-removable battery tho. Pls tell me what phone out there expect the joke that is the LG G5 has a removable battery?
+Gjorgi L exactly
😂😂😂 he might as well go for the 200 dollar base phones cuz I don't think there will be removable batteries in the future honestly
The display resolution looks just as good as qhd. Remember when Apple was selling "retina" shit? Well, this is way over Retina. Meaning you can't see the pixels, it's really sharp.
The battery is a given for all modern smartphones.
I see you are Mr. Eagle eyes, that focuses more on the pixels on screen than on the actual content you are watching...
While I would certainly be happier if it were a 1440p screen, it's not a big deal on a screen this small. You'd be hard pressed to notice a difference.
I disabled gestures and [proximity sensors and doubled my SOT.
SOT?
+slayer1561 screen on time
gestures only works when the screen is off, so this comment doesnt make any sense at all
Very much like nova launcher. I cant wait to get one!
Do the Axon 7 now please
I heard that it comes with a screen protector. is it true?
Mummy Zombie Yes
useful video!
what about multiwindow tacking..anyone
My only complaint about this phone is the dim screen under a direct sunlight or if you Wear your sunglasses,you can't see too much.
double tap for lock screen
How to use the alert slider is a "tip" lmao
No heating issue at all
link of your case?:b

anyone know how to turn off auto correct?

does anyone know why there is an ethernet icon?? 6:19
Where?
when he was choosing with icons to turn on/ off
i put the time stamp
do u mean an ethernet option instead of an ethernet icon?
well that was the section where you choose to turn off icons, which means there is an ethernet icon
6:15 why is there a fucking ethernet setting? does this phone come with an ethernet hole?
Anton Helsgaun you can use type-c to Ethernet adapter
damn
Anton Helsgaun It seems type C is pretty much rip every other cable, they're all inferior
An xD meme
so if you can see notifications from the lock screen and even interact with them, What is the f point of having a lock screen at all_????
