I'm not particularly worried; I actually posted some thoughts about Google I/O earlier today:
http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/10/4209366/a-prediction-for-google-i-o
I'm quite happy with Android 4.1, so I guess it depends what KLP brings, but it's hard to imagine Google bringing anything that would make me want to abandon HTC's awesome camera software (which is one of the reasons I personally prefer HTC phones).
I bought a One XL last year around the same time, and Google I/O didn't make me regret that decision. Besides, this time I'll have a One XL I can mess around with if I want to install CM11 or something.

Precisely. Personally, I feel HTC is on the brink of a huge change, they've already dropped the source code and the phone hasn't even shipped in US yet! Also, it will definitely help to have the same device across several carriers (Even international ones!)
I feel the winds of change wafting from HTC and I must say, I love it.

I am definitely super-excited that the international and NA versions of the HTC One use the same chipset - that was one of the big issues with the One X and One XL last year.
This phone will get key lime pie without a doubt.
The development will be huge for this device

Not to be the voice of doom or piss in anyone's Cheerios but HTC's in a world of hurt. The shipping delay for the One's cost them dearly financially and now its actual availability is going to bump up against Samsung's gazillion dollar marketing budget for the SGS4. Samsung also co-ops heavily with the U.S. carriers for advertising and provides big sales incentives down to the associate level. And if you walk in to a Best Buy you'll be greeted by Samsung's "Experience" sound and light show while a dummy One sits lonely and tethered to an end-cap somewhere next to a "free" LG Phone. With a Nexus 5 possible at I/O, an iP5s and lower-cost iPhone in June, Motorola's "Phone X," a Note III, and LG's 1080P 5" and 5.5" Optimus Pro Plus' all due by fall, the One's going to get lost in a sea of other devices a few months after launch because of HTC's (now even more) limited promotional budget. They have a tough road to hoe and 2013 will determine their future.

I have a canon eos 60D. You might consider buying that if you give the camera such importance.

I believe they will, considering this is HTC's flagship phone.
This is an easy one for me. I'll just keep my Nexus 4 around until I/O. If what Google shows at I/O wows me and I can get it on the Nexus 4, I'll consider selling the One, but DAMN, it would have to be some mind blowing software for me to give up such amazing hardware and go back to a slower processor, worse screen, worse camera, worse speaker, cheaper materials, and no LTE.

It will be. It is 5.0
Got me thinking...
Whole argument is stupid in my opinion. It's clearly cut black and white. If you want immediate updates to current version of android go for a nexus. If you want real hardware get the HTC One. Unless HTC builds a nexus the new one won't be special.
I don't know why people buy carrier subsidized phones then complain when it stays a version behind. The phone company is there to make money. Put on your big boy pants and go nexus or shut up about it. It's really that simple

Hi I'm absolutely new to these forums but have owned nexus phones since the nexus 5. And the sole reason I left other OEMs is the software availability with fast updates. And that's how it's been these past few years. ... And now I just bought the Nexus 6P from moving in from Nexus 6. And I've read that Google is abandoning it's nexus lines on certain EOL dates and unfortunately nexus 6P isn't so far away.
But it isn't what has me mad. It's the fact that nexus devices are not going to receive fast updates anymore or receive the same treatment the Pixel phones are going to get ( updates )... I can care less about Google exclusive features for the Pixel but don't delay our updates. Especially when we bought our phones cause of this reason ... Not a lot of people can afford to buy a new phone every year. So I don't want Google to do us dirty.
So if you agree with me and don't agree with Google's decision then let's rebel and refuse to buy Google's Flagship and comment showing your ideas and support... let's start putting some control in consumers hands.

Getting a bit sick and tired of Google's shenanigans after six years with Android.
Im Back to 6P a week ago before this bad news because this phone is great. I would like stay with him for next year and abandon android.

Same here. I mean I see no reason to switch my device of practically the same one i've already got. So I guess I'll either get me a used one for a cheap price OR, get a bran new one as I did with the 6P , like a Month or two before the new PIXEL XL will be launched.
I would love to own a new pixel xl but i cant justify the price. Ill stick with my 6p as it is the best phone ive ever owned. Maybe next years gPhone, if they learn their lesson.
Google is getting worse than Apple. It'd be nice to know if you could buy one device and it get timely stock Android updates for years. Old iPhones still getting updates, albeit they might be missing some features.

That is completely unfair to Apple. Their hardware is gorgeous and robust, and the software just works (as long as you only use it as "uncle Steve" intended) and is, usually, far far more polished than anything available on Android. Case in point - the gyro and compass. Why do I need to manually recalibrate the compass on all Android phones I have ever owned to have the arrow pointing in the direction I am facing? And why do I never need to do this on my wife's iPhone, going back to at least one day he iPhone 3? Why do so many of us install the ios emojis over the grossly ugly ones from Google? These may seem like small things but they are part of the overall user experience.
Google is far more like Microsoft from the late 90s than Apple. Me too approaches, rough around the edges, and best suited for the pocket protector crowd that is willing to deal with the occasional BSOD for the sake of the ability to dink around.

Hopefully, yeah. Depends also if we get the whole 8 then 8.1 on the Pixel 2.
I cannot believe how pissed everyone is over this. You all act like Google has 7.1 complete for this phone and they're just not sending because of pixel. I highly doubt it's complete....it's not done and it might not be done because of pixel but who cares. Didn't we just get 7.0? We need major updates monthly now? Everyone is talking about going to Apple, go for it, if you don't end up back on Android I'd be surprised. I recently bought my wife and iPad pro for her birthday, it froze twice during setup....it doesn't "just work" any better than Android and it's boring as hell. The screen on my phone seems 100x better than it is on the iPad. If you want Apple to keep updating your four year old device making it unusable that's up to you.
If you had the money to get a new phone moving from the Nexus 6p. Would you go ahead and get a better phone or would you pay to get the screen repaired. Deciding to keep the phone instead. The community here, while it's been amazing seems to be dying as more devs and users alike move on to OP3T or Pixel. I'm seriously thinking about dropping down $459 for a OP3T. If you had the money would you go ahead and move to another phone?

Personally I don't like Pixel. It's mostly on principle--to me its the device that killed the Nexus line (and not by competing but just because Google decided to.)
Beyond that I don't know that the price tag justifies upgrading. Bump in hardware, but no stereo speakers and in terms of real performance I don't think the user is gaining much if he drops the 6p for Pixel. Of course this is just what Ive read but for the price difference Id want more.
I'm not really seeing the developer scene die the way you describe. Feels like Ive got more good choices in roms & kernels than I need.
If I were going to buy a new phone I might take a closer look at the OPO 3T. But Im happy with the 6p for now.
Oh no I never meant to postulate that I was upset with the Nexus 6P line. There have been a lot of issues lately with the hardware that have caused countless others to have bootloops and then faulty battery issue drains that have to be fixed by RMAing. Hoping to god you get back a phone of equal use. I have read that one user had such a problem. He sent in 6 6p's and they all had the same exact issue every time. This of course sounds absurd and highly inaccurate. I made my decision as I'm going go keep my 6p. I'm taking it to get the screen fixed tomorrow.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
every device has life cycles, im sure as the device ages and price drops it'll be a very popular dev device because its a fairly high spec nexus device. a lot of popular devs buy almost every new device they like as it comes out. i wont be upgrading my 6p for another year or two, its very fast with f2fs and the other phones out atm arent a major improvement.
From one 6p user to another. Do you have any ideas where I can find a sturdy, streamlined case that protects both the glass and phone. I have a case, but it's rather bulky. I was using a skin when my phone shattered.

I just paid the deductible to have my phone replaced ($79). I think Huawei charges about double that for a screen replacement.
When Nexus Protect expires. I plan to pay the $140 for SquareTrade.
The 6p is long from outdated.
I believe that you should get a new phone between every 2-3 years.
On the status of my current 6P, or past devices, I've never damaged one of them before. My 6P did go dead once though... ?

I'm saving money to join op3t users. I'm really disappointed from Huawei support and I want to leave this device as soon as possible
I'm finding it difficult to leave the 6P. I used to be the guy that updated every yr but with the 6P I don't have that desire. It still feels snappy (most of the time) and it is very difficult for me to give up the stereo speakers. I don't know if I can go back to non-stock android. The camera speed was an issue for me but when I installed the Camera NX mod, it def made it more snappy. I'll reconsider again when I see what the Pixel 2 has to offer because the Pixel was not worthwhile for me, especially at that price but for now I am staying put.

I agree, while it may not be the nicest hardware, it is an all around solid performer and was a good price.
I have a few qualms with it, but in general I've been happy with it for sure. Definitely the best nexus phone that was released, especially when you factor in everything together.
I just bought a 6p, off of swappa so I hope development continues for long long time. I have now the ls990 lg g3, & there's a handful of ROMs, & back when the nexus 5 came out I had that, & development is still going on for that. So I am not worried. I know I'll never again touch an lg device, problems several times. So I can't wait for 6p to ship to me.

My phone has been in assistance for 3 months and i own it since 12... 25% of the time i used my old nexus 5. Is this a good experience? I don't think so! Huawei and Google are not going to see my money again. Enjoy your phone guys and remember, you will have problems with this phone, don't think you are immune.
Once the Pixel 2 xl or the pixel 2 xxl (since rumor of a third larger model) comes out I'll switch...

Ditto! Super device performance since its launch...
I had a used N6P a while ago but it went into the dreaded bootloop of death. I went back to my trusty N6 but It's really starting to show it's age...
I have been contemplating about buying another N6P but I don't want to waste the money again for it to go into another bootloop. What do you guys suggest?
Wouldn't buy a used 6P due to potential bootloop and battery issues. I'd try to get a new 6P at good price or look at other options. Have you considered the OnePlus 3T? It's a very good phone and reasonably priced.

The 3T is a solid upgrade mainly due to the bigger battery. Slight bump in performance from SD 821 and 128 GB option is also nice. I've had the 3T for about 2 months and can't really complain about anything.

Good call! My 6p has been getting realllllly hot lately now that the weather is warming up, it is a little concerning
i love the 6p.
but i got my new, and thankfully have not got any issues with it , used it for around 9months now i think.
if you can get one in New condition, then get it by all means.
but if not, then go with a op4 /moto any other smartphone that comes with a good chip and stock android.

As a former huge OnePlus fan, it's time to say goodbye. I never upgraded after the 2, the phones got more expensive and the upgraded features didn't justify the additional cost. I've been running my OnePlus 2 on DU 11.5 for months now, the ROM development just never got to where we all hoped it to be. I blame OnePlus for this not giving the developers the tools needed and really hindering their success opportunities.
A huge thanks to all the devs who have and still put work into keeping this phone development alive. Until we meet again.
As for where I'm going. I'm a 2 phone guy, one for work and one for personal. I'll be switching my personal over to the Samsung A5(2017) which is an incredible phone. And my corporate phone will be an iPhone 7...
Farewell. I'm personally not buying OnePlus again.
Oneplus is still using USB 2.0 in the OP5, over 2 years after the type C spec was published. There is still issues with jpeg compression in their phone app and it is not adjustable. Not releasing decent camera blobs for devs to use in their roms, etc. Oh yeah, premium pricing too. No thanks, I am done with them too.
My carrier has the LG G6 on sale right now, I think I'm gonna try that. I love the idea of a wide angle lens, and the Google camera app with HDR+ is confirmed working on it.

Farewell!!
Yeah, I have enjoyed my one plus 2 also but the lack of decent support from the company has turned me off from them. Around the beginning or middle of next month I will be switching to something else. Farewell OP2
OP2 is still a decent phone even in 2017. It's all about finding the right rom for your needs. But yeah.. OP is a terrible company and have forgotten what made them great in the past.

This sums up my thoughts too. I'm happy with my OP2 for now but when it comes time to change I won't buy another OP.
What if I told you that OnePlus provided the tools, but no one here ever made efficient use of them since Grarak left?
This device still has life and its still a solid phone. I just got it and my intention is to improve it.

I would say yey new ROM !
There seems to be some good devs working on the phone still so would be surprised if they where all missing something.
I'l just dreaming about Google doing affordable Nexus devices again ... They would be so successful I'm sure. I first bought the 2 because the 6P was too expensive for me, but I still don't know about any other company which is "developer friendly" as OnePlus and Google. So yeah I'm stuck buying ****ty devices from a brand who doesn't car about their customers
Never settle. Yeah right.
Some good points here, yes, OP2 is still a good phone even in 2017. OnePlus turned it's back on it in pursuit for more ka-chiiiing, and 3, 3T or 5 haven't done much to make them sooo much better. But prices, oh my. Just got OnePlus spam in my mail, new OP5 model with more memory already! What? How much?
6GB RAM + 64GB Storage
499,00 €
8GB RAM + 128GB Storage
559,00 €
So I went to see my order from february 2016. I got 64GB one at the time when 32GB was available. Mine was 345€ minus 40€ for coupon. So 305€. Guess what OnePlus, I won't be settling.

Come on, stop. OnePlus 2 was not a good phone, is not a good phone and would never be a good phone.
How can you say it's a good phone when you see User Experience is so bad with the Snapdragon 810, when there is so much thermal throttling every time you are doing something on the phone ? (don't talk about underclock / overclock / custom kernel / etc, those are elements which are flashed after by the user, and are not relevant for every users).
When you can see that you can buy a OnePlus 3T for 350E on Ebay (what I did, phone is in perfect condition), you should not even consider buying the OnePlus 2.
Never had those problems, but I am not using it for games. Phone works just fine - not saying it is (or ever was) a great phone, just a reasonably good one. Mostly let down by software and company which became greedy, and yes, while being the latest thing at the time Snapdragon 810 wasn't that good. Still it works for all basic needs, even after 2 years specs are almost impressive and user experience can be ok. *Not* a power-user experience.
Not comparing it to flagships because it never really was in that category, and you also should put it in it's price bracket, you bought used 3T for 350€ while OP2 when new was 300€. So there's that. After having it for a year and a half I am surely not considering buying another one or recommending someone to get OP2 or any OP actually. For that user experience and satisfaction should be on higher level.
Actually i will buy oneplus again. Why, because it's cheaper then the rivals much cheaper. And i really like my oneplus 2, spent 100 euros for it, really cheap and good phone.

Me too on that one...
Bought a Nexus 4 towards the end of them selling out for like £150 or something, was a brilliant phone even though I replaced god knows how many screens and back's on it but was a great great phone
Efforts will be put in getting Oreo up for the OP2, specifically halogenOS 8.0
Any help is appreciated, if you want to submit patches, do so via review.halogenos.org, otherwise, if you have a device tree, let us know.

Hi CertifiedBlyndGuy, if I am not wrong then you're the AOSPA maintainer for OnePlus X. Are you building AOSPA for OnePlus 2 as well ?
