not silly at all - but the sim only fits in one way.

tried it myself and someone from the 3 store tried as well

really frustrating, have to get a new sim to put into my old phone, so will be without any phone for at least another day

The tray will go in either way. I've done it myself before.

Hi all,

I've been on 44S since it was released and the phone has been performing flawlessly until yesterday when I was surprised to see my battery at 30% around lunchtime when I usually expect to see it around 70%.

I looked at the battery consumption at 12:15 today (six hours after a full charge with modest use) and it was down to 39% with Android OS using 26% which I know is high.

Anyone got any ideas as to what might be causing it? I can't recall installing any new apps in the last few days.

Thargor

You should get a new sim for the Oneplus aswell and try that.

I had the same issue when I got nine first. In network settings it was set to 4G(reccommended),

Switch it to 3G and you should start to pick up signal.

FYI I am on meteor with a micro sim.

Hope this works!

I'm on meteor and haven't had any issues . getting lte most of the time if not I get H+

Thinking of moving to 3, what kinda speeds do people here get off 4g with the oneplus one?

Now that I think of it I don't have a 4G plan. Have a pretty good payg plan that the girl in the meteor store said I should stick with because if you are getting pretty good H+ then there is not much of a need for 4G.

What do you think of 4G? Is it that good?

Thargor

Three 4G is very good alright, laptop tethered to my phone at the parents the other night was indistinguishable from my UPC connection in dublin, instant Youtube etc, then again I wouldnt pay anything extra for it if they take it away, H+ very good also.

I have tested 4g on 3 in Galway on the OPO, with 2 bars I got 30mb, I've tested it other times and not gotten as much, but its fast

North Co. Dublin on Three's 4g

Thargor

Thats mad, Ill probably never sign up to UPC again when I move houses, another few years we should all have crazy speeds for a tenner a month.

An app update maybe instead has caused it?

I'm on 44S and never had any problems. I always update manually to latest version once released and have never had any problems with any version except one reboot but I think that was the app popcorn time as it was downloading a movie for me when it happened.

I find 44s absolutely fine for daily use. The lock ups of 38R are gone and Chrome crashes maybe once every few days when playing embedded videos or the like. Very stable. Still the kernel needs work. The default Balanced profile, scales down the CPU too aggressively, causing jumpy framerates in games & noticeable stuttering in the UI. I'm tempted to create a customized profile based on the performance setting, but I shouldn't have to!

I still fully reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days just as a precaution, to ensure no niggling problems creep back in. But I'm not sure it's necessary now.

Yeah seems to be hot and miss with issues it seems, on older versions lads complained of issues and I never had them so I dunno :P

Glad I never updated and still on 25R, according to battery monitor I still only have an idle drain of around -7 mah.

@Ben, AFAIK there's an app that'll tell you how much juice each running app is using, you should be able to find the culprit with that. Not sure what the app is called, doesn't seem to be a feature in battery monitor widget.

Still no update on my order, I ordered a week ago.

Ive sent a mp3 file by bluetooth to my phone from laptop and im looking to use it as a ringtone. The file is in 'my drive' at the moment how to i get it into ringtones??

jozi

You will have to download a file browser like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

When you go change the ring tine click the file browser option instead of the media explorer and then navigate to where ever the file is stored

Thanks for the reply. Done it with file manager in the end.

I ordered after midnight of the 3rd of December and I just checked it a second ago and it has finally changed to 'processing'. So hold tight people!

Hi everybody, I got my phone today! Very impressed so far, just a few questions:

1. Does anybody else have problems with USSD codes? I don't seem to be able to check my credit, send a "call me" text, etc. Any solutions?

2. Is there any place to find a variety of free themes? I don't really want to purchase any.

Can I use NFC tags with out the need to have the phone unlocked?

No apparently not which is a pain in the ar$e. For security reasons the phone has to be unlocked, it's an Android/NFC protocol i believe.

Kind of makes NFC more hassle than its worth for me as i wanted to just tap a tag getting into my car etc to switch on Bluetooth etc.

How do you access the screen which allows you to scroll between multi screens that you have last visited?? You can then select which one by just tapping the screen which will bring you direct to that app, page you were on.

dwayneshintzy

Go to homescreen, press and hold bottom left button.

On the subject of the battery life; I seem to get about 16-20 hours off of one charge (not particularly heavy use), which seems a bit less than some people. Or is that normal enough?

exactly what i want it for.

is that not what cyanogenmod is for to break protocols, i mean they tweak a whole lot of settings that google surely doesn't approve of.

edit: this could be interesting for when opo gets lollipop.

If you go into settings and then buttons you can change the behaviour of the menu button. By default you long press for recent apps but you can change it to a short press also.

Yep it worked for me too. Good options there, I love the barcelona theme the best out if the lot!

That or the flux would be the best two themes for me.

The android lollipop theme looks a bit of a mess, those colours just don't work for me. I hope it what's to come with android lollipop

Dropped phone for the first time this evening and phone smashed completely. Anyone had any experience with oneplus repairs that could give estimate of process/time/cost?

WezzyB

Dropped my on 24th of November, took two weeks for them to come back to me.

I've had the RMA approved. It says a TNT courier will pick the phone up from my address, given that this is a parcel motel location in the North, this would not be possible.

Sent them a query to see if they can tell me an address for me to ship it to in the UK so they can forward it to Hong Kong.

The price I was quoted was 147 euro including delivery.

I bought a micro USB host cable and was able to connect a mouse to the phone as the touch screen was not working.

So you need to raise a ticket with One Plus, I included a photo of the smashed screen, they wait until they reply, this could take a week, be patient.

Best of Luck

Any good FM transmitter apps that people are using for their OPO's?

Oneplus one doesn't have a fm transmitter.

Hi, not sure if this has been asked before but has anyone been able to insure their OPO?

I've emailed gadget insurance.com and they say that it must be shipped by an Irish, UK or US company so I think I'm out of luck with them.

Any info would be appreciated.

Dunno if this is one plus specific but it's never happened on other Android phones.

I have Google Play music and it keeps starting in my pocket. I'm thinking that it must be some key combo but I dunno what's causing it.
The phone is locked when it happens.

Disable the lock screen gestures for music.

Settings gestures and uncheck music

Suppose this is just a general Android question, rather than OnePlus specific, BUT....what's the best free music player I should go with? It's all my own mp3s I'd be playing so wouldn't require any streaming service.

Google Play Music does the job

I'd recommend Apollo. It's the default Cyanogenmod music player. You can get it from here http://www.maartendekkers.com/cmapps/

They have the same condition:

The gadget(s) you wish to insure is/are less than 24 months old and has/have been purchased as new by you in the Republic of Ireland, UK or US from a VAT registered supplier.

I'm assuming jjdela is asking as they have the chinese version, which wouldn't be covered under the above, in the same position myself.

Hi maximoose, that exactly it. I've seen the same condition on most of the sites.

Would really like to insure it as my last phone was stolen and I'd rather have this one covered.

Any thoughts on the best way to insure it?

Thanks
