Hey all
So anybody up for the Oppo R5? On the face of it, looks like a great little package. Octa-core processor backed up with 2 GB of RAM and a beautiful AMOLED display with a ppi of 423, all thrown into a package just 4.9mm thick! There are downsides, with only 16GB of memory and no SD card slot, storage could be a issue for some, as could the lack of a headphone socket!
So although not perfect, this sleek device does have some attraction, who's in?

The phone is so friggin thin it would be awesome, however the lack of a headphone jack and expandable storage is a deal breaker for me. I can see why there is no headphone jack as the phone itself is 4.9mm and the jack is 3.5mm. It is a neat phone but not very practical.
I love this phone and can't wait to get one. However I'm not sure how here in Texas. Will probably stick with my Oneplus One for daily use and the R5 for showing off....

It looks gorgeous.
No head phones and sd card a real problem though....

It looks wonderful and I am hoping it will be released before too long so I can get my order in.
The lack of storage is a slight disappointment, ideally I'd like to see an SD/TF slot as it is easier to get stuff off and on to the 'phone through my iMac, but I can live with that given how slim it is. I can also manage without the headphone slot, either using an adapter or bluetooth.
As I don't use my 'phone that much, just an hour or two a day at most, the battery life shouldn't be a problem for me either. I can generally go 3 days before charging my Huawei Ascend P6, which isn't known for it's stamina so I should manage at least 2 days with the R5.
Of course I'll need a case for it too...
I just get one I mean preordered on. Now it s aveiable in the EU with a bonus power bank ..
I pre-ordered mine yesterday too.
Looking forward to getting my hands on it.
According to the OppoStyle website, it comes with a case so that will save me trying to find something to house it in initially. I'll then have some time to locate something that suits my needs, assuming the 'free' one doesn't...
And it's arrived!
Beautiful device, wonderfully classy looks. Copying my music and pictures to it now...
tell me!

I paid 399 Euros which worked out at 330 UK Pounds.
I got a free power bank which is VOOC compatible both for when it is being charged from the mains, and for when it is charging up a (VOOC compatible) 'phone, a European (two pin) VOOC charger which requires an adapter (not supplied) for UK 3 pin sockets. It also came with some headphones and Micro-USB to 3.5mm adapter as well as a clear plastic clip on back cover. (Not the 'leather' book style cover I was expecting)
att/straighttalk 3g
I got the 45 dollar plan from straighttalk.com which is using the gsm network of ATT . It works great, I also have the Nexus 6 and it has no signal from T-Mobile(sprint) at my house with NO wifi calling/txt when it said 100% of our new phones have it. I guess just not this new. I will wait, or maybe sell it. I really like the Oppo R5 more, because of its size, and because it gets actual cell reception(4barsH+). I still haven't gotten Gmail to work, Google Play services error, so if anyone knows, I would like to know. I read a msg from the phone itself that said it is compatible with most gs4 roms, so If I can figure that part out, I will be golden with lollipop. OK thanks.
From Singapore
I won the Oppo R5 at their roadshow. All I had to do is to smash walnuts with the phone.
The phone is really sleek. While there are no 3.5mm jack, the package includes the USB-to-audio adapter so you can plug your favourite earphones. The fast charging is awesome and helps to mitigate the small battery size.
I've written a review which you may check out here.

I think that cradle that he has pictured is actually a Diamond cradle with the plastic insert removed so the HD will fit.
For me it looks like this one: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/212118340/KiDiGi_Deluxe_Desktop_Cradle_for_HTC.html
But didnt find a shop in germany/switzerland which sells it.
Hope to find one of these (or equivalent ones) soon.

Your correct.
The insert has been removed - actually pretty dangerous as your likely to damage either the cradle or the HD - suitable only for a quick photo as you effectively ballancing the phone on the cradle with no support?
The usb port on the bottom of the HD DOES NOT support audio (cradle speakers OR usb headset) which for me is very dissapointing nor does the port support the TV Out function that you get with the Pro - the port is for charging and data only so looks like HTC will either bring out a completely new cradle OR you'll have to go with a 3rd party solution (Expansys already have one for pre-order listed here under accessories?)
I have the HD (collected from HandTec on Thursday) - I also have the Diamond and the Pro and so have been comparing them constantly for a few days now.
My conclusion so far for what its worth - the HD is NOT an upgrade from the Pro or Diamond - it is in fact a very different phone and should be considdered in its own right and not compared. As a business user - stick with the Pro - for general phone use - go for the diamond - for entertainment on the move - the HD "may" be the phone for you? I'll be sticking with my Pro for general business use and will continue to work on the HD for now....
Hope this helps......

The DELUXE looks very nice
On the deluxe image above, is that a large door/flap that opens up? Is that to support the HD so it leans on the door otherwise there is nothing to accidentalyy prevent the hd forcefully pushed backwards and thus damaging the usb connector or phone.
Is there any news about the official HTC Touch HD cradle?
Hope to be able to get it soon.

i bought a nice cradle for my TyTN a few years ago, it fit snuggly. Trouble I had with it, was it didnt always fit the little usb slot first time, it'd hit the edges and envariably start to chip away around the paint.
With all the people with chipped paint issues i'm already paranoid enough, i'm not sure I am going to get a usb cradle.
audio out
Do any of these cradles come with 3.5mm audio jacks built into them?
I recently sent my Tilt 2 back to AT&T for warranty and was given a different handset.
I want to give away the box and everything that came with it to anyone willing to pay the shipping cost.
It includes:
Box
Stylus
Battery
Rear Cover
Screen Protector
Wall Charger
I estimate that shipping within the continental US would be roughly $6
I'd rather help a fellow XDA member out rather than just throw it out.

Do you know if the stylus and battery cover will fit a T-Mobile TP2? I'm interested if it will.
I could use this......
Where do I sign up?
Sounds like you are moving on to another phone. I recently got my Tilt 2 and its perfect for me, if this is still open I can pay for the shipping. Im in 90748.
i could use that stylus and battery so let me know what i need to do
just curious,what phone did they give?
You wouldn't happen to have the 5-in-1 dongle - the one that lets you listen to FM radio, do you? I lost mine some time ago and would like to replace it. PM me here if you can help out.

Well I actually "had" multiple issues with my Tilt 2 on 3 different occasions which allowed me to pick any phone in the same category. I ended up with the Samsung Captivate which I ended up giving to my cousin.
iboj007: I believe so. It plugs into the mini-USB/Charge port at the bottom of the phone. I can't swear, but I believe the dongle has a mini-USB Port, and at least one headphone port (for 2.5mm) and I think it also has the third headphone port (for 3.5 mm).
It's black (that's the only color I've ever seen it in), and it' looks like a box (with all the ports on one side) and the dongle that plugs into the phone coming out of the "top" side.

Yes, exactly!
I'd be VERY happy to receive the back cover alone, and pay for shipping plus packing.

I would be interested in the battery... mine is on its last leg and lasts about 2 hrs....
I know this is a bit late, but I just saw this thread. The T-Mobile TP2 battery cover is different than all the other ones. Only the T-Mobile battery cover will fit the RHOD210.
what problems did u have with it. just curious cause i want to make up some kind of problem to pick out a different phone. lol im tired of the tilt 2 already. had it for a year and cant do what i want anymore and i want to hop on that android bandwagon for once. =P
do you have any of the stuff left or do you already gave the items away.
Hi G Watch owners,
Just thought you might want to check out our current Indiegogo campaign for a G Watch charging dock.
it uses the LG G Watch charging brick to create a desktop/bedside table stand so you can actually view and use the g watch while it's charging without using two hands.
Also acts as a pretty nifty bedside table clock.
It's made out of premium aluminum and timber for the high quality look and feel.
Check out the campaign if you get a sec.

Ack 22 for shipping. So the early birds total cost for outside Australia is 57USD for a dock. And I am not sure I am going to keep the LG G Watch when either the GWAR or Moto360 is released.
Nice idea.

You need to cut open a slot on the side so people with steel watch bands can connect.

Hey Everyone,
Thanks for the interest in the Moduul.
We've taken on some feedback and have opened it up so the Moduul now works with Closed loop watch bands.
Check it out on Indiegogo.. http://igg.me/at/moduul-gwatch-dock/x/8434738
We also now support the G Watch R!
More devices will be supported as we get details for charging methods and dimensions. stay tuned.

Hey, glad to see you here But, as other members said, the biggest problem here is the 22$ shipping fees :/
I should go to Australia in 4-5 months, so i'll probably grab one from there, 2/3 of the price just for the shipping is literally too much for me :/

I'd be very willing to get one if it didnt cost so much for shipping.
Any new models releasing?
By the time this product is released, the G Watch will have been superceded by another device.
I don't know if you're already going to do this but... It would be a good idea to sell the stand, then have pieces that slot in. One for G-watch, one for Gear Live, one for G Watch R etc.
$6.99 off of eBay for the Braketron Nanotek stand (used to be at Best Buy). Cut a small slit on the side for a metal band with a Dremel tool, and the Nanotek sticky part sticks the charger in just the right angle. So even with buying a second charger for the watch from Google, this comes up to less than $30 for a clean looking watch stand!
It's about $48 USD to get one moduul shipped to the us.
Would anyone be interested in starting a bounty esque thread where we could get enough people pledged, and say order 20 units? The website is stating only $25 aus to ship 20 units. And I'm sure shipping one of these as a first class package would be $2 or less. I dunno. I guess it's a lost cause.
At least a guy at shapeways has a design up for the g watch r. Not the original g watch tho.
My battery lasts 4 days and spends so little time charging anyway but I'm a sucker for this thing I swear lol.

Hi Guys.
I've ordered a black colored variant of Meenova SD Card reader and am awaiting for it to be delivered. All I'd like to ask is if it has a built in LED which lights up on detection by the device. There have been mixed reports, some stating the presence of LED while some state that it does not illuminate in case of a Black one. So how did it work out for you ? (Did it light up or not ?).Also, I would also like to ask if any other application other than Nexus Medial Importer is compatible with it.
Thanking you.

I contacted them via Facebook a while back, and they told me specifically that the v1 Meenova won't fit in the v2 silicon holders. I was hoping they would. its a better carry case than the plastic cap.

Sad .. But is that is true, I will just order a new reader as well .. I guess.
I'll let you know my findings on Monday. (it is scheduled for delivery to my work today .. But I am on vacation)
Whoa, I didn't realize there was a new version of the Meenova. My original one still works great, and the new version with the silicon holder will stop me from worrying (like many others) about the stupid plastic cap flying off into space.
I can't recommend the Meenova enough for keeping some off-device backups and other storage. I fully plan on using this with my Nexus 6 just as much as I did with my Nexus 5.
Anyone have tips on making a charger stand or dock?
I basically have to have my watch on its face to charge.
Mine charges perfectly fine.. Never need to put it on its face.
I have the gunmetal with the brown leather band. I'm able to set it upright on the band with the band open. It doesn't look great but at least it's face up.
Would a *spit* applewatch stand work, or would the weight of the watch cause it to fall off? Could mould a disc from plastic or something to fit the circle and poke the charger through for the Zen?
You could use a simple wooden dowel with a 45° angle and screw the charging kit on top. (it looks like the old charging kit doesn't fit and we have to wait for a new version)
Built one
I've got the same Idea and built a dual Charger today. Looks great and works great, too

Dude that is flipping sweet. In fact I think I will make that tonight. My phone wirelessly charges, so I would want to have a hole on the base to fit the puck. I actually think I would like the phone to be inclined with a footer, so I can just drop it without having to worry about alignment.
Wow what a great idea. It would make great gifts too.
The only problem I would have is I have a metal band that doesn't open, so I would have to make a L bracket so I can slide it over.
Thanks. Pls upload a picture of your finished work

Yes, I actually bought two. It worked perfectly in two different watch stands.
Has anyone found a source for spare charging cables yet? Google Store doesn't allow me to put in cart... Must be because I'm in Canada. :/

I am in the same boat. Would love a spare charger for at work.
hopefully ebay will have these soon enough.
Side note: do you find your watch has horrible connection distance/ always disconnects?

Yes, yes I do. One of the things I have found that helped a bit was to go into the Battery in the Settings, hit the 3dot menu, go into Battery Optimization and stop optimizing Android Wear. Hasn't solved the problem, but it has helped.
Either this is an issue with the Nexus 6P's bluetooth or the Zenwatch 2 is screwing bluetooth up big time. I've been having issues with my bluetooth headphones and with uConnect in my truck too. Eventually I need to take the ZenWatch 2 out of the equation and see if my BT problems go away. But it's been bad.

You can use this with any Apple Watch stand and you have one for under $30.

Thanks for this. I ordered mine from Amazon, and was surprised how well it worked. Bought an elander stand to go with it and it's pretty well perfect. Only wish there was more hardware/software support for this watch, as I'm finding that there isn't a lot out there for it. Shame too, because I think it's a very underrated watch.
If I may make a suggestion, the imprinted logo on the bottom doesn't make for adhering a sticky patch on it all that great.
