Looking to buy myself an HTC Amaze but want to know if there are any issues. Any GPS/Wifi/signal issues? Anything that is a common issues? Perhaps different screens similar to the Sensation, etc.?

Here are some threads you can check out.
This one is really good and very similar to what you're asking already.

This is the longest thread but is basically Amaze compared to SGII:

I was asking this maybe a week ago and started the first thread that nguyendqh posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379081 and I feel it has quite a bit of objectivity and honesty. They did a good job of covering points in very few posts. I've been doing a fair amount of searching in these forums and I haven't read any feedback that makes me think it has any obvious issues.
One person in that thread(here is the post) said something about signal or sound quality issues, but a few replies after that made it sound like it could be a defect. Truly, this is one of the few negative comments I have found about the amaze at all.
Everything I have read makes me think that the sensation is a solid phone, and there seems to be quite a few people who upgraded to the Amaze, and I haven't seen any complaints besides there not being a ton of roms- but even that will change as the amaze is out for a while.
only problem i see so far iv had it for 2 days was the screen bleed due to the captive buttons..that and the battery suck just as much as the sensation...
I have had the phone since the week after release, and it's been a joy to use. Being a crack flasher, they guys over in the Dev section have kept me pretty busy, so I have no complaints there. I can only imagine how good it will get when we've got a faux kernel to OC the inevitable ICS builds. We've got some very good devs on this phone.
The phone is very solid, I haven't had any issues with reception or anything, and am very happy with performance. I haven't had much issues with the battery, it's about what I expected... not awesome, but not bad either.
Also, it's nice we've been able to completely circumvent the S-ON conundrum until we find the fix for that.
I don't know about the rest of you, but the battery life on my Amaze is actually quite decent. I have the Sensation getting ready to return to T-Mobile. The battery on that phone is horrific.
Still no S-OFF. It's an issue for me, anyways.
Capitan Totti said:
No, it was not a defect at all. Again you spreading your lies.
HTC phones have a bad rep about their sound quality, from way back in s620 times to now. Other review channels on YouTube say the same.
Again, I am gonna keep reporting your posts until you stop with your nonsense.
You are so wrong, that I ended up deciding to keep the phone and give it a second try.

He is just trying to help someone out that had a question. It doesn't seem like he is flaming you or attacking you personally.
Why are you so angry?
I just saw another post where you were looking for help about internet on the Amaze and keeping one SIM card.
You expect members on here to help you but then turn around and bash him for trying to help another member?
And are you seriously reporting his posts? For what reason?
Opinions are just that, aren't they?
This just doesn't make any sense to me and I'm trying to understand why you're so worked up.

This guy is following me around now I think, lol. I appreciate the fact someone else sees it like I do, I mean about a week ago I asked the same question as the OP, and I got some really great answers.. today I bought the phone and I'm now just waiting for it to come in the mail. I wasn't going to leave out the one main complaint I've seen, but I decided that other people's opinions about the phone's quality were enough to make me think that it is a non-issue.
To totti- I'm sure you're a sweet guy, but I just don't roll like that. Feel free to keep reporting my posts, I'm sure all you're doing is convincing some poor mod that has better things to do that you have a man-crush and maybe some stalker problems

LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I do agree... why is he so angry???? anyways you made a great choice. The amaze is a great phone. If you guys are having battery problems I would root your phone. Its a huge difference !!!!
lol alright guys, no more arguing lets not be like other forums. but seriously, I don't experience what totti said about the amaze's "speaker"... not the back speaker the ear speaker.
"The worst aspect is the earpiece. It is UTTER TRASH. It literally silences itself when you talk, and will "turn on" when the other party speaks, however, when that occurs, it will "eat" the first few milliseconds and you will get a broken up phrase (from the other party), 99.9% of the times. Seems to be an HTC issue btw."
I know what he meant by htc having sound problems, like the clarity gets distorted in other devices, but the amaze's speakers both front and back are really good imo.
anyways there's too many threads like this.
I listed this too many times
Problems:
1. battery life isn't the greatest (YET... come on new kernel!)
2. stupid softkey bleeds
3. lack of release of full sources!
4. battery gets warm when tethering, maybe other things too, but that's it for me
everything other aspects is either equal or better than other phones.
Just got WiFi calling which was my major gripe. Works well and other than s off which isn't a big deal to me it works great.

I honestly don't see any issues with what Silentbtdeadly has posted. I have received two notifications about you reporting him but I really have no clue what for. Everyone has a different opinion and is welcome to post it in the forum provided they follow the forum rules. He is not directing his objections toward you in any way however I see a post like this and makes me wonder who has a grudge against who and causing disruptions. My advice, add him to your ignore list. Problem solved. Stop wasting space in mine and Whiskey's forum with stuff like this. Please. Stay on topic.

You guys are not audio people meaning folks who record music or listen to the audio track in videos, that the phone records itself.
The big problem is simply that the 'fidelity' (sound quality for recording operation) is terrible on this phone. On the GS2, it's mono, but the sound quality is very good.
If you're listening to some music or a video then it's fine. But if you want to use the Amaze4G or other HTC phones to record something, the sound will be very poor. So whether that matters depends on the user. On YouTube there is a video made by a new Galaxy Note, That has stereo (like the Amaze4G recordings) but sounds fine, and provides a stereo comparison.

Well, I would think that this is the sort of thing that the OP is looking for. Personally, I don't use the video function too much, but it is nice to have if something I really wanted to catch it is nice to have in my pocket. I can expect some good quality pictures from a phone these days, but I wouldn't expect the phone to be the way I made video blogs(if i did that sort of thing).
I am curious, do you have a few samples you could put side by side? A big factor would be that they were recorded in similar environments.. and I wonder if the phone could be set to record in mono audio, and if so if that would create a better quality?
I actually have a question. When recording video, the sound isn't super bad, but with so many mics for noise cancellation and all, the sound can be a bit off. You think that with ICS this can be adjusted or is it something htc has to fix?

I've heard that on some batches theres a screen issue a little yellow light. Any more defects? Also this can be helpful to others. Thank you. +rep
Read through the threads, youll find theres not that many actual users with the problem vs multiple post from same person.
One of the bad things is that owners of the sgs2 cant seem to find the search function on this site, neither can they read the threads that have been posted before their own 'totally unique' thread.
Its probably best you just read a couple of threads and decide for yourself. just remember that people only tend to post to complain, people almost never post to say they happy with a device.

Sounds like either you haven't got the headphones all the way in or that your headphones are naff. I can't maximise the sound without hurting my ears!
I've tried several different pairs of headphones and they are definitely all the way in. I've spent most of my spare time this week trying to sort it out.

Here's one, there's no control over who can buy it.
Instead of just accepting that, based on their needs, the display, battery life, camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, audio, GPS, and/or 2/3/4G signal might not meet their expectations, rather than return the phone, people start a trillion threads seeking affirmation of their issue. Then, the rest of the minority having the same issue(s) pile on to all basically say the same thing. After exhausting each other and running a thread up to 20+ pages someone will start another just to repeat all that was said again. And you know what, it doesn't matter that the SGS1, DHD, iP4, or N8 were better at certain things than the SGS2. The phone is what it is and may not ever be as good as either it should be or you want it to be. Take what Samsung has on offer and accept that or return the phone and get something that serves your needs better.
Either my particular device is a rock star in the top 1% of all those made or my expectations are lower or perhaps more reasonable than others. This is after all a phone, not a device for managing nuclear weapons. Regardless, if the phone didn't meet my needs sufficiently I wouldn't create 1,000 posts and martyr myself, I'd return it and get something else that better served me. I had a G2X which was as horrible a device as ever produced. When I read on that forum that all I was experiencing was common I lost quite a bit of money to dump it and get an SGS2. Hint.

Here's one, there's no control over who can buy it.
Seems like one of the main qualifications is lack of search button willing to try anything without reading the instructions .Must have is to post the same topic as others post hijack threads etc .
The idiot quota is much higher than on SGS 1 and approaching Nokia levels .,
Most of us where in that category but actually took time to read the FAQS work our way through the posts to gain an understanding before attempting anything .
Now its read the first sentence and flash .

OP, from my experience (i was one of the later people to get the phone)
I do not have heat issues.
I do not have battery issues.
My sound is amazing and very loud.
My earphones sound AWESOME, and EVEN better with 5.1 surround sound turned on (built in on music player)
My GPS locates in 1-3 seconds - it once took 5 seconds, with or without wifi.
My device does not creek.
My screen has no banding issues.
My screen has no yellow tinge/yellow spot.
My camera has no red dot/spot.
IF YOU WANT THIS PHONE. Get it, and the chances are you will have a similar device to mine, a perfectly working one.
Remember the forums are a concentration of all the phones. If you put these problem into the proportion of devices that have been made and sold (god knows how many at least 3 million plus), a absolutely minute proportion have these issues.
I had the exact same fears as you, so, go for it and you won't regret it!
Same as Daivik
Well , except on the heat, but i blame for now the apps I use for this overheating :
FPse and snes9x EX
for me it's for now an application problem (poorly or not optimized yet for dual cores ) so I cope with the heat while waiting for updates.
Totally satisfied with the SGS2 as it is

OK guys listen well...
Remember this post?
Apparently not... as you all seem to keep acting like little kids.
I saw yet another locked thread when I logged on today.
As it stands I don't care who is or is not lying, who is or is not a troll, and or who is or is not right. I don't, I simply don't...
If you have issues with someone, just ignore them or stay away from their posts, twitter feeds or websites as the case may be. It would be so much better for us all that way.
Now I don't mind a bit of off topic discussion and threads, but all I am seeing lately is bashing, arguing and trolling.
Let me lay a little something on you... Nobody is owed anything. No Dev owes you ROMs, root, or anything else. Vice versa, no user owes a Dev anything for their work. (paid market apps excluded) The rooting community is a hobby based entity. We work on respect and a mutual love of the platform. Donations are voluntary but a good idea. (It makes Devs feel appreciated)
Another thing... Drama... It kills the community. It runs off users and Devs alike. It creates a hostile environment that no one wants to deal with. When a device looses Devs it can be a death nail to the further development for that device, and when we don't even have a perm root exploit, loosing top Devs is the worst scenario imaginable.
It is getting so bad that even I am getting aggravated, and I could stay calm even with someone punching me in the face...
It is so bad I am giving serious consideration to jumping ship to the Nexus... An (in my opinion) inferior device to the Rezound, just to get away from most of the drama.
Come on people, get your f***ing acts together, and your heads out of your a**es.
Sorry if I come off as a jerk, but something needs to be said/done about all this.

Sure you can jump ship and go to the Nexus, but I'm pretty damn positive there will be drama there too. Best thing you can do is just ignore the ****, nothing you say or do is going to change what's happening on this forum.

They think they're big and bad and on the top of the world sitting behind their keyboards. Just makes me wonder how they make it through daily life. Best thing really is just to ignore them, don't feed the trolls and eventually they will go away. Sure they'll continue to post and hope to bait a person into a response, but if everyone keeps at it they'll go elsewhere.

As for the trolls...bashers...dramateers.. and those well known HUTA's (Head Up Their A**es) ... It will never end. They love fuel, and all people like you and me do is refill the tank. Sure, there were much better times when everything was nicer and most of the posts were filled with posituve and/or constructive feedback. This is the same way all over the internet. But there is no sense in blowing up and attacking those who cause the trouble because it does absolutely no goid at all. I know... I've done this myself and it gets me nowhere. The best thing you can do is to always try and encourage positive feedback. Not everyone will like every commend, post or idea... Not everyone will agree on one thing. Best things to not be doing is bragging too much about something or attacking and/or making fun of something someonevow.s...eg.. like their phone.. or hating on something they said. Im no mod in here, but it's just straight out common sense. Some people just wantvto get a rise out of others and those others just can't resist torpedoing that trolls sorry arse with some smarta** comment to get them going even mote....

Pro-tip: You don't need to read drama filled threads. You don't need to read any thread actually. You have the choice to come to the forum, check for any thread titles indicating root has been achieved, and if you don't see them then either go away, or read only threads that have titles which interest you. Plain and simple.
I don't know why everyone on the internet feels that every single god damn thread in every forum MUST adhere to their own views of how threads should progress. If people want to *****/troll/libel/lie/cry/etc., then who are you to tell them not to? If you don't like it, DON'T READ IT!!! Plus, it's a PHONE. How do you not have anything else in your life going on that makes forums on phones completely irritate you to the point where you feel the need to tell people to not express their opinion? I'm assuming you're a Marine, which means you have probably sacrificed your life at some point to give US citizens the right to ***** and moan to their hearts desire. But that doesn't give you the right to tell people how to act.

LOL-I'm not complaining either.
I am a pro-photographer & own four Canon DSLR's which are awesome, but the Rezound camera certainly comes in handy when it's all I have with me.
To put in your sig that it's crappy just seems kinda stupid to me, it's better than 99% of the other camera phones......

Great opinion there, you think it's stupid but I've used the epic touch camera and im bitter after being spoiled. Kinda stupid to not see someone has a different experience. Sorry my signature seems to be getting under your skin with your rezound pride.

Why are their sooooooo many people having problems with their S3?? I've had mine since launch day and cannot see any flaws what so ever. "my screens flickering" "pink tint on my screen" "laggy" you obviously done something wrong to have these problems....i don't mean to sound a knob but all I ever see is people having problems and possibly nit picking at stuff that isn't important

Well said!
I'm **** sick of seeing people complaining about stupid things. Non-problems 99% of the time.
Look at the latest one, some guy complaining about icon spacing. Wtf.
If the s3 forum is gonna be like this then I'm not gonna involve myself in it and stick to just the galaxy nexus forum.
This video says it all.

You guys have to remember that these type of forums seem to amplify the size of problems.
Also, the phone is not completely free of bugs and defects CAN and WILL happen. It's a normal part of the manufacturing process for some things to have less than stellar quality. Don't call bluff on everything.

Yeah, this.
On a forum like this, people are more likely to post about problems that they are experiencing with their device.
Imagine a forum full of posts like: OMG I have 23 apps open at the same time while watching a 1080p YouTube video and it's so smooth wow lol I love this phone it's so much faster than my girlfriends iPhone lol
If you're having a problem with your new phone, you make a post about it, hoping that someone more knowledgeable will help you out. If you are enjoying the phone in your everyday life and it's working well, nobody really makes random posts about that, do they?
Some people do have problems. Just because YOUR phone isn't laggy doesn't mean that there is no lag in any Galaxy S III device out there. Just because YOUR camera works doesn't mean that some people might have problems with camera force closing. And so on...
Of course, some people just are never happy - there are those as well!
So I got my G2 today, and this is my impression:
I've heard a lot about this device. A LOT. And it made me desire it so bad. But I'm really disappointed.
1. With the speakers: they're bad. So bad. My previous device was HTC One, and switching from One to G2's speakers.. is a big downfall.
2. With the camera: it's bad. The quality is bad. On paper it's better than the One's but the quality of the picture is just not good. Looks too blurry and noisy altogether.
3. With the expectations: on paper the G2 is twice better the One [specs-wise], but I can't notice any difference using it.
4. And most of all - with the developers: the G2's UI is simply screaming "Root me! Flash another rom!". And I did. But no rom is good. I've tried 6 of them, one by one. First off, they're full of bugs, they're incomplete. Secondly, they fail to give you the Nexus 5 experience. It feels like you're using only the skin, a launcher, not a clean android rom. The developers are just not as good as the One's developers. The roms I had with the One were so good. The Nexus 5 experience was so good, I could feel I was using a Google Edition phone. No bugs, no imitations.
I'm already missing my One......

I know it sounds bad. My apologies if I offended someone.
Just had to unload my thoughts.
Not to be argumentative...but I find posts like these absolutely bewildering. You had a Nexus 5, but got the G2. You like the HTC One, but turned it in and got the G2....and it sounds like you got the G2 based on what you saw in writing, rather than having tried it out -- at least not long enough to realize you don't like the speakers, camera, stock GUI, etc. I hope that, in making a purchase like this, effectively "blind", that you still have an option to return the phone -- that's the only option I can think of that would make an impulsive uninformed purchase reasonable, unless you have money to burn.
There must have been hundreds of posts describing the UI in detail, and dozens of articles discussing the pros and cons of the stock UI vs vanilla KitKat and the various ROMs that are available, along with many, many photos of the screens. Also - many, many articles that discuss and contrast HTC One speakers with those on the G2, and on many other phones. After 4 or 5 months on the market, there are SO many discussions pro and con on this phone that pretty much none of these topics should come as a surprise -- the only variable would be your personal reaction, and how your opinion comes down each topic. There are numerous people who absolutely love the G2, a number who don't like it, and many with mixed feelings. But it seems that virtually every major topic, including the ones you've described, have been fleshed out in great detail here and on another dozen or two sites. With the topics and points of contention - and strong personal opinion - well known, wouldn't it have made sense to explore these "live" up front, before making the purchase?
Again - I don't mean to be contentious, I'm just genuinely bewildered. Also - in the interest of full disclosure - I've been using cell phones for about 22 years and have owned dozens -- all different manufacturers, OS's, ROMs, carriers, etc. I was a flashaholic with my last few phones, most notably with my GNex (flashing ROM's many times a week at the end). For my purposes, to my taste, and based on a combination of criteria, this is the best phone I've owned or used, period. But, after reading about it in depth, I went to a couple of stores that had live test models, and spent enough time with a G2 to have an excellent idea of my reaction to each item that was a question for me. By the time I bought it, I knew I liked it, and that the issues some people complained about didn't bother me. In the time since I brought it home, I've come to appreciate it even more.
No doubt some will like it and some won't. It's great that we have choices. I simply don't understand knowing that polarizing issues such as the ones you describe exist, making a purchase without checking these out for yourself, and then coming online to complain about them after the purchase has been made. Am I missing something?
No intention of picking a fight or offending -- I simply don't understand this scenario.
A lesson in life for you.
1. Never read and listen things in one way. People like it, they praise it and say a lot of good things about it. Do read the negative side of it.
2. Do not just read on the web, go to store and spend 30' or 1hrs to really try it out before commit.
3. Do expect less, there is nothing perfect in this world, this one is good, don't expect the other as good as it. Latest doesn't mean greatest.
4. Seek your happiness elsewhere. If you don't like a "thing", just divorce it and marry the next one with care.
You heard a lot. A LOT about the G2 and still bought it? Thats braindead.
You dont feel a difference between the HTC One and G2? I'm having both Phones and the HTC feels a lot worse than the G2, performancewise.
Sound is worse than the htc? Of course, the one is having one of the best (stereo) speakers... lol ... you guy such a bad troll.
How do you not get the Nexus experience with CM11? Troll. This phone flies with cyanogenmod.

I agree with most of what you said, but you're also wrong; I've read lots, watched lots of videos, watched lots of screenshots of roms and stuff, read about pros and cons, read comparisons to the HTC ONE.
The only thing I couldn't do is try it live. I don't know where you live, based on your English I'll guess US, but in my country there's no place we can try devices, only iPhone and Galaxy because it's mainstream. Higher quality like HTC, LG, Nexus and stuff, are not offered by stores to try. Only people who are familiar with quality and brands buy these phones here, and we buy new phones based on what we're told.
I've bought the G2 for two reasons: battery and money. I'm short on money so I sold my One for cash, and bought the G2 in credit so I have some cash for a while. As for the horrible UI, I knew what I was getting into, but I thought that I could replace it with Google Edition roms like I did with the One when I didn't like the Sense, but as I mentioned, the developers are not as good and the roms they offer are bad compared to the roms of the One, so now I'm stuck with the stock GUI.
you're right in everything pretty much in regards to speakers/camera.
speaker: it sucks because it's tinny, but what's worse is LG uses their own limiter/compressor on it, which makes everything sound awful. i assume they did this so you could get maximum volume without clipping. with the help of xdabebb, i've disabled their equalizer/compressor/limiter and it sounds more natural now, but obviously volume is a bit lower because it's not amplified as high.
camera: yeah, it sucks. there's nothing more to say. i've never been this disappointed with a phone camera until now. the quality is just bad.

I'm not a troll.
I've used ARHD GE with my One, it felt like Nexus.
But with Paranoid and CM11, they changed something. It's not the same. There are bugs in the gallery, in the home screen you can only scroll to the right and not to the left and some other minor things, and it feels like a skin and not like a real stock clean android rom, like it with with ARHD GE on my One.

coming from the note 2 , G2 is a beast
It's the best smartphone I've ever used but sadly yes the speakers disappoints me
however i could never be happier with a smartphone
Still saying the devs are bad? The aosp roms have the same issues. Common among them is the freezing. Blame kernel source and drivers not the devs.
I feel that CM is amazing on the G2, especially for not have a designated dev for our device. The freezes aren't that big of a deal to me, but I can see how that might be very annoying to other people. This is by far the best phone I've had especially comparing to my previous HTC devices - original HTC G1, HTC One x. and HTC One. :good:

I don't think this is a good knee-jerk reaction to have. The devs aren't babies and I'm sure they can handle someone not thinking their work is up to par with another dev community. That said, as a prospective G2 owner who plans to root + ROM, it's definitely valuable to hear if things aren't as good as they seem to be. Sure I'm not going to base my entire decision off one guy's opinion, but I'll be more aware of these issues and it'll do nothing other than help me make an informed decision.
And to be honest, looking through a lot of the ROMs, he does seem to be right. I believe it when they say many problems will go away with the kernel source, but right now that's the state of things.
Well I don't usually chime in on threads like these but... anyway...
Ok I have had the HTC One (my son has it now)... Still have the S4...
I have a Sprint G2 on the latest ZVA update. Rooted with Xposed Tweaks.
I have to say that I'm not happy with the speakers but there are some mods out there that help this considerably. Your point on this is somewhat true.
On the Camera however... You are waaaaaaaaaay off! I have personally went out and compared pics between old HTC One pics, Current S4 pictures and G2 pics. There is no comparison the G2 pics are so much better and not just by a little its significant. I couldn't believe how much better.
I loved the HTC One but the reason I got rid of it was the Camera. The pics were just bad. Look at all of the reviews on Cameras... The G2 is always up there so I'm not just dreaming this up. Here is one of the better more comparison based Reviews...

So what you're stating seems to be one of two things... You're just trolling... or you have a defective phone and need to try another one.

Exactly... most of the phones that I have used lately the best setups are the Stock Rooted Roms with Xposed tweaks. I really feel that is the reason for less Custom Rom development. Really no need. Get rooted, use exposed, tweak and customize it how you like.

I used to think that too.. I've watched numerous still and video comparison videos, watches numerous samples, and I used to think that the G2's camera is the best out there.. but then I got it, started taking pics and videos, and it wasn't like what I've seen online at all.. Moreover, my brother's friend has G2 as well, checked his pics and videos, and it was the same - bad quality pics and videos.
Hi, I've decided to cancel my order of the OnePlus X, but the order state is already: 'processing'. OnePlus spokeperson told me that i can refuse the package when it ships to me and they will refund me the money.
My question is, will they refund the WHOLE cost (Phone+shipement) or just the cost of the phone?
Thanks in advance.
Why didn't you ask this to them? :3
I did, but they respond at best once a day(I know they have a lot of customers at the moments, so I'm okay with it). I'm asking here, maybe someone had a similar problem.
I'm in the same boat. I opened also a PayPal dispute as they advised. I'm also not sure the express shipping costs will be refunded. Please keep this thread updated with your and/or others people experiences.
Pretty much sure they won't refund shipping cost, they'll probably also charge you for return shipping.

Sounds fair to me. They shipped it in good faith that they had a legitimate order.
Yeah i agree with @CafeKampuchina
Why buy a phone if you won't want it?? Such a stupid thing to do.
I bought the phone with an invite since it was going to expire in a few hours, but the next day i saw how unfinished this product is (software/AA cpu/camera/sd problems etc adn how I could have bought something better for this price) so I've submitted a ticket to cancel my order while it was still at "pending shipment".
//NOTE it was still at: Pending shipment, which means they should have just cancel the order and refund me the money as it states here:
"You can cancel your order before it ships by submitting a ticket. Please make sure to choose Cancellation as the issue!
However, once your order status has been changed to “Processing”, your package will be on its way to the address that you provided. In this case, you may refuse the parcel and send us a cancellation request saying you've done so. We'll issue you a full refund when we confirm the package has been returned to our warehouse"
I have submitted the ticket at 11:00PM, however the guy have responded to my ticket at 4:00AM, and it changed to "processing" at ~2:00/3:00AM. To be honest I dont see this as my fault, but I've not heard from him since and the phone is on its way to my house.

You should sell it unopened as soon as it arrives.. This phone has a lot of demand so no harm, and you will make someone very happy..!
I agree with the above, just sell it.
Oh and next time don't believe every person who's complaining about issues, because some people are compulsive moaners.
I for one an totally happy with my OPX, and I have had it for a week now. Most of those issues you mention are down to software an OP team are already working on a fix.

In Poland there is little to none demand for the phone. On our "ebay", Allegro.pl you can find many offers, but no one is buying.
I guess I'm stuck with this phone at least untill the next nexus with sd820.

Well Im coming from N4 which had pretty bad audio quality (bad speaker, subpar headphone quality, terrible call quality) so maybe it will not bother me that much.
Also the thing I noticed about people, especially in India, when they are hyped about a device they prise everything about it without noticing any shortcomings.
Anyway, if I have to lose 20% if the price in the process of returning the phone then I'm going to keep it.

Yeah I had a nexus 4 as well mate, which my gf now owns. I used to listen to it via headphones, it didint sound too bad but then again I wasn't running stock. Speaker was pretty poor tbh, both quality and positioning.
I'm happy with the whole package of the OPX, it has its shortcomings but all of them seem software related. Yes there is only 1 speaker on the OPX but the quality is pretty good and the position is great, and I understand that they had a budget to work with. Which seems even more admirable considering what they have achieved.
Keep the phone. I think many people just keep panicking and overreacting when they find some bugs. You have to remember that as usual people that are satisfied with their purchase tend to forget to write reviews since they're busy playing with their phone and are happy with it, but almost everyone who's not happy is going to write everywhere how crappy this phone is.
I'm pretty sure that you'll like the phone more than you think you will. Also trust in devs. Most of the bugs that you'll find will be gone by the end of the year

i am coming from a nexus4
this phone feels good in hand
performance is very good
camera ist okay although helen said they will release manual mode camera sometime
sound quality is fine. i dont hear any difference to other devices
battery life is good but can be tuned software wise
display is really good
i think most problems this phone has are due to the immature software
the opx is a really good phone for the price point

I'm pretty sure that you'll like the phone more than you think you will. Also trust in devs. Most of the bugs that you'll find will be gone by the end of the year

this phone feels good in hand
performance is very good
camera ist okay although helen said they will release manual mode camera sometime
sound quality is fine. i dont hear any difference to other devices
battery life is good but can be tuned software wise
display is really good
i think most problems this phone has are due to the immature software
the opx is a really good phone for the price point
