OnePlus One, anyone got one?

[gex23]

Regarding price :
Z3 = £23 pm over the 24 month duration (free handset)
OPO = £24.66 over the 24 month duration (giff gaff 4g sim)

Just wondered why people chose this over say the Z3 or M8. Rooting doesn't massively interest me, but hopefully they'll roll out the OS updates quicker than 3rd party providers (3, O2, EE etc).

Seen it's available on the OPO website but Euros only, is that the correct site or am I looking for a UK based handset? (apologies for the n00bish questions).

So with the prices being pretty much similar would that / should that make the decision more equal / straightforward?

https://oneplus.net/uk for UK site.

Yeah, updates are rolled out pretty quickly tbh, not sure when they actually plan to release Lollipop yet, but I know that's already made it's way into nightly beta builds, so it should be soon as there's only apparently 1 thing not working!

I've got my preorder ready for Monday night as there's a one hour window where they're on sale (1600 - 1700 hours GMT).

64gb black with flip case and express delivery.

Would you guys recommend a tempered glass screen protector as opposed to a acetate one?

I went for the standard screen protector. Applicator was brilliant and got it on first time without any air bubbles.

Just be aware that on the last pre-order, the site went down for the first hour, but then they extended it. So if it happens again, don't give up after the hour is up

I got the 1+1 as I don't like being locked into a contract and its half the price of the z3 with all the features I need. I didn't need a phone that can take picture underwater or use a PS4 controller with.

Also the 1+1 run cyanogenmod out of the box, which is bloody brilliant - not bloatware and super quick, and so far it hasn't slowed down on me like other android phones have.

The orzly (sp) is brilliant, do it!

Cheers guys!

Seen a few comments on AVforums re: poor customer service and can be a bit pot luck as to getting a good handset - the only things putting me off really!

I've got a couple of invites for a 64Gb One, drop me a PM if you'd like one.

Also have some, 6 or something stupid!

Hello, how did I miss this.
Need to watch this thread.

Awesome bit of kit this phone.

 

[MWright]

I had one, was so excited then I changed from Revolution HD ROM to Cyanogenmod nightly build. It feels like I have a new phone (HTC One M7) in essense cyanogenmod saved me buying a device endorsed by cyanogenmod. It happily outperforms the iPhones of late [emoji16].

 

[rctempire]

Ive had mine about 2 months. Keep finding new things with it.
Rooted it soon as i got it, wapped titanium backup on it. Reloaded from HTC One M7 with the Rev HD Rom.
Perfect.

Is there a decent online guide to explain rooting

If you need one let me know.

"No invites needed" [emoji6] you can buy the phone without one today.

Yep today only. If you didn't get one

Time to buy. Going to smash my S3 into a million pieces (when the OPO eventually arrives)

 

[rctempire]

Well did you guys buy them

My order status has switched to Processing now
Is this a good sign?

 

[Addicted]

Can only assume so :]

 

[sn00p]

A couple of months in....still the best phone I've owned!

 

[Addicted]

For sure, I like the fact I can go out for a weekend and not have to worry about battery life!

 

[sburrell93]

I'm still debating this. It's a no brainer as far as phone tech is concerned for me, but I don't know if I can bring myself to switch to android after using iOS (jailbroken) for so long!

 

[montana]

Currently got a iPhone 4 and considering this as an option. However at 5.5 inch screen , it seems a little too big for me

 

[rctempire]

It's not big after two weeks. I found the HTC one m7 I'm completing for my mum as small now. Cyanogenmod on any android makes it so much better too.

 

[sburrell93]

Anyone still got an invite that hasn't expired? Could be doing with one lol

Unlikely, get on the OPO forum for the UK family thread post about 10 posts and fill for an invite. You'll get one in about 2 days

I got an invite spare

 

[The Fatty]

regarding it being too big, every other phone seems too small to me now after using this for a month!

Still loving it. Had one problem where my voice was sounding like I was underwater, but it seems to have been caused by my call recorder as its not doing it now its disabled.

battery life is still tops :up: had music playing all day yesterday (12 hours or so) on spotify and still had over half battery left. Would never have got that on my HTC Sensation!

 

[sburrell93]

Mine pls! [emoji8]

 

[rctempire]

Got another one if anyone needs it

 

[rctempire]

I take it you have all rooted it too?

 

[The Fatty]

I haven't, no need as of yet.
