my windows password is in all caps so after login i usually dont turn off the caps key as it does not have a light indicator to remind me. it actually makes it easier to read i guess.

Lolwut ? You still have eyes to see when you're typing in caps.

Yes, for septuagenarians.

Oneplus says they will remove the tweak in the next update but was it necessary?? Even HTC lost its reputation because they did the same thing with M9. Sad

When do these companies realize that they will be eventually caught and their hard earned reputation will be lost? I need to buy a replacement for my current car. I was using a VW in the past. Now I will not consider VW & Skoda because of their fudged EPA numbers.

It is mostly for competing with other phones.. For e.g. they could advertise that their phone beats the galaxy s7 in benchmarks..

Fake numbers or not. You can see numerous head to head speed tests. Oneplus 3T beats major flagships.

Optimization wise Nexus range beats iPhone range with similar specifications.

This 3T is freaking awesome for its price.
