Fwd: You have received a new OnePlus invitation

[Stephen Partington]

I have a oneplus on Tmobile, and the phone is great, the service is great,
the two combined has a few weirdnesses in it.

What i have found is that the oneplus has one weakness, its radio.

While plenty powerful it lacks the 700mhz band that tmobile is focusing on
for its LTE expansion. Add to this that the Oneplus only shares one of the
4 total frequencies that tmobile uses. There is the same issue with AT&T.

in most settings this is not an issue with the exception of every now and
then running across a weird deadzone that only seems to affect you and none
of the other tmobile devices nearby. it also really showed up when i drove
to snowflake (from Tempe). I only had service for about half of the total
trip while my wife with her phone had service the whole time with a couple
of moments interruption depending on where the mountain peak was.

Since then i have dropped CM11s for a late dec CM12 nightly that someone is
compiling and sharing out, and then amusingly enough putting the CM11s
(most current) radio back into place and right now this is giving me the
best connectivity so far in the valley and i am not having the issues with
deadspots i most normally have run into.

but the device is amazingly powerful, well built, and for me the best part
yours. you get to unlock it if you want. you can rom it if you want.
entirely up to you.

Also get a tempered glass screen protector at least, the way the edges are
exposed, while sexy, makes them vulnerable to nicks and chips (my screen
protector has eaten one of these moments already)

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
