One plus two first experiences

I have  migrated to one plus  two  from  an older  Samsung  Galaxy  grand Quatro. Overall  I am enjoying  the new phone.  But I did  find  some issues.

It doesn't  ship with  a headset. For now I am using  the headset  of my previous  phone.

It doesn't  have  fm.  I used to use my earlier  phone  to listen to fm while  driving.  I don't  have  this capability  anymore.

When I connected  the phone  to laptop  today  it didn't  start  charging. Towards  the end of the day  I looked at the battery  details page to realize that it is not charging. Disconnecting and reconnecting  the  cable didn't  help. Finally  I restarted  the device. Then it started  charging. I could  not  figure  out  why this happened. Probably  it is a software  bug which  will get fixed later.

The phone  comes  with  a single  cable.  Thus one has to keep carrying  it around.  My earlier  phone  came with  two cables. One with  a wall socket  adapter  and other for pc connection. Having  two  cables I think  is useful.  This  seems to be a cost cutting  exercise. However official USB type c cables  from one plus are out of stock on amazon.  So getting  an official  spare isn't  easy at this  time.

Btw the phone is really  fast and worth  the money.
