Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() My OnePlus 5 finally received the OTA Oreo update just now. 1.5 GB file but downloaded on Airtel 4G (VoLTE, though screenshot shows WiFi icon, I switched it off shortly after) in 5 minutes flat. Update took 5 minutes more. Too early to figure out Oreo benefits or drawbacks but overall impressed with the OP upgrade experience. Last edited by itwasntme : 10th January 2018 at 21:14.

Having used high end phones from other manufacturers including Samsung, Google (Pixel/Nexus) and Apple I am really impressed how OnePlus have got their act together and smoothened out their firmware upgrade/update rollouts. Really well done for a relatively new company. For me the main benefit of Oreo has been improvement in battery consumption. My 2 year old OP2 running Marshmallow still works very well. OP phones have their wrinkles for e.g. in the camera department, but overall the phones are real VFM handsets. | |

Thanks for all your inputs. The above link mentions that it is a Ver 1.2 (rooted). Mine was not (-NOM-). Apparently, I had no choice but to get the phone a factory at the service center. However, before opting for this I thought doing something that was called a "Brute force attack" to decode the password. I started typing all possible pin combinations starting from 0000>0001>....>9999. After every 5 attempts, wait for 30 seconds & restart. I did tried the common & fancy combinations first Ex; 1111, 0011, 1100 & so on. I had a comparatively free day at office.. ![]() Eventually & fortunately for me the phone unlocked itself at 1404 ![]() Thanks Again. Regards, Saurabh | |

In any case the delivery was 20 Jan+, we may be away from 2 February till the 12th. So I decided to delay my purchase. I will get it on my return. Apparently it seems to be an 'el cheapo' S8! | |

https://www.flipkart.com/honor-9lite...cff_X4IGB14L3H This one is underrated (f1.7 and f1.9 aperture for rear/front cams): https://www.flipkart.com/samsung-gal...ZZ7HKSP.SEARCH You might want to check this out too: https://www.amazon.in/b/ref=amb_link...d_i=1389401031 Priced at Rs.32,990. It might have killed the OP5T too. Last edited by Oxy : 12th January 2018 at 14:02. Reason: Back to back posts, please use Multi Quote [Quote+] instead. Thanks. | |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() For those looking for a phone in 30K range, Huawei Honor 10 View with its 6 GB RAM and 128 GB space seems like amazing value. https://www.amazon.in/Honor-View-10-...dp/B077PWJQ57/ |

Infractions: 0/2 (8) | ![]() Hi All, I currently use a Galaxy Note 8 as my daily driver. I am looking for a compact phone for listening to music during my morning jogging. Note is 8 is too huge, hence looking for something compact within Rs 8K. Please suggest. |

| ![]() Return of the Lenovo Tab 4 8 plus! Was about to buy a considerably cheaper Tab 4 from Flipkart when I spotted the plus back on sale at Amazon. This is for my wife, and she does not want to begin the tasks of transfering stuff from her current tab until after the weekend. Could not resist turning it on, skipping the setup, and connecting it to our wifi, though. The display is a lot nicer than the Asus tabs we bought back in 2014 (I think). The eight inches seems like a lot of glass... and I think we should cover it. How to buy a screen guard? The only difference I can see, on Amazon, is price. How to choose? Any recommendations? New in the house with this tab: Android Nougat and, USB C! Hadn't realised it has that. Was rather resisting, due to a good stock of older USB cables!

1. a smart watch/ band with memory for songs and pair it up with a wireless headset. I have a Note8 and a Gear S3. Gear S3 has songs and it can independently play them. This is in Addition to all fitness things it can do. 2. A Headset where you can put a memory card with songs. | |

It still has a 5.65 inch screen though, but these days you have drastically reduced bezel sizes. | |
