Looking for somewhere to get a cheap remote to use with the headset and my OPO, any suggestions?

Is there an obligation to buy the One Plus 3 after ordering this VR headset?

Of course not, how could they enforce that? They are in China and their laws don't apply here, would be impossible to force you to buy something.

Ah good to see my headset has shipped. After seeing some of you already get yours I was worried mine had not even moved from 'preparing shipment'.

Have a drive to Cobh Co cork from Dublin and back on the 14th, really hope I'm not stuck in traffic on the way, lol if you see the news of some mad guy driving in a blue transit van while wearing a VR headset at 5:30, that will be me looking for a strong 4G signal!

May be of use to someone - Was looking for one myself then remembered, if you have a PS4 you can use a DS4 controller.

Cool!
I imagine I need an app to pair up the controller to the phone?

Well my head set just got shipped out finally. For a while I thought they forgot about me.

Hi all,
I have a chance to write an early review of the OnePlus 3, and I'm looking for suggestions/requests from all of you, on what you'd like me to test

I'm collecting the requests on the OP forum, but you can reply here if you prefer.

Before looking at the request, in order for me to be a reviewer, may I ask you to please vote for "berlingozzo" here? https://oneplus.net/ie/lab/candidates
I won't be able to do the review unless I end up within the first 30. The competition will close in a few days, so I need all the support I can!
Thanks!

The suggestions/requests are here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/oneplus-3-early-review.448857/

thanks!
cheers

If they haven't even got the 30 test units promo over with yet they aren't planning on a June release.

I've bought a good bit of stuff from One Plus and had a short piece typed up but never bothered to submit it because I thought the chances of being selected would be very low.

I'm a bit disappointed I didn't submit it now because I feel my piece was actually quite a bit better than a few of those that were selected that I just read through the link

Give a writer a pen and he can rule any mind. Take the mind from the man and the pen becomes useless.

I never got why people are so keen to have headphone jacks on bottom of phones - what's the benefit?

People put their phones into their pockets top first. Headphone cable might get tangled/squashed. When holding the phone with headphones in the cable hangs awkwardly.

Very minor inconveniences.

Top first?? What kind of animal does that?

Top first?

WTF is wrong with people? :mad:

I initially thought putting the headphone jack at the bottom was silly but admittedly after I take a call my phone generally does go top first into my pocket.

The headphone jack will be phased out this time next year

Just because apple are doing it what makes you think everyone else will ?.

As removing it is going to piss off quite a lot of people and I am going to be one that's for sure.

If the manufacturer bundle a set of Bluetooth Headphones in the box with the phone I don't think it'd be as big a deal.

Also there's a Chinese Manufacturer LeEco who has already announced their next devices won't have a jack but audio will be capable through the USB C port.

First thing i thought of was what about when you want to charge and listen to music at the same time? I have that situation all the time in the car like loads of people id imagine.

Not every car has Bluetooth built in even in this day and age.

When it comes to headphones I just prefer the old skool methods of a tethered pair.

Apple haven't done it yet... LeEco and Motorola have but I can see Apple doing it given their track record of adopting new ideas and technology early.

I'm a wireless convert myself and wouldn't go back, it's so handy.

Looking at ordering this phone on Tuesday. Coming from a Galaxy S6 Egde. Do people think it would be a good bump in specs from the s6? Had the s6 since December and the battery is failing on me already and it overheats a lot.

That and making people pay through the nose for 'approved Apple products' for no reason other than making a profit.

It's natural. Bottom first is awkward and wrong. Very wrong.

If only they owned a company like Beats that makes headphones...:rolleyes:

Motorola are silly, there is nothing to be gained from removing the old 3.5mm jack, yes many use bluetooth earphones, but what if you're exercising and your phone is already connecting to the bluetooth of your Miui Mi Band, you can't connect it to your headphones also. Then there is the battery draining issue of bluetooth only.....certainly it would put me off a phone if it didn't have the 3.5mm jack!

deadanonymau5

Dont worry everyone, the OP3 will have a headphone port!

Something tells me that this could be the way forward for for bendable screens...the less components the better.
If you watched the Lenovo Tech show online you would have seen two very impressionable bendable devices, a phone that bent around the wrist, and a tablet that halved in size (possibly tablet/phone hybrid).

Anyhow it's probably the future. We'll be using USB type C connections for everything. And using converters for 'old' tech

OnePlus have a fair amount of OP3 phones ready to ship

https://twitter.com/getpeid/status/741748670782144512

deadanonymau5

The first shipment of OnePlus 3 final units for commercial sale has entered India. The batch totals 7200 pieces at a unit value of INR 22,858 ($341), the Zauba import listing reveals.

Now that's obviously not the final retail price, but speculation revolves around INR 25,000 ($370). Even so, the number is still significantly less than the CNY 2,999 ($460) price of the initial 1,000 units sold in China prior to official launch.

The OnePlus 2 possibly costs around €300 converted?!

:eek:

I fking hope so!

Anyone know roughly what time devices will go on sale Tuesday?

6pm the show starts

The earliest you can get it is 5.30pm (BST) exclusively through the app linked below. It's available for 2 hours from then. Then its available again at 8pm (BST) on Oneplus.net for all to buy it.

Lol, no bother. I was confused from reading the post on the OnePlus forum anyway trying to convert times and when he said it was available in the Loop for 2 hours

So what models are people hoping to get ?.

I am after a 64GB 6GB one.

I hope there be more then just sliver ?.

Either a 6/64 or depending on the price difference a 6/128. I'll aim for a black/metallic one but I'll be putting a case on it anyway so it doesn't fuss me.

biebiebie

Think the 6GB is a must, but solely for bragging rights

biebiebie

So if we buy one on Tuesday evening, what's the expected delivery timeframe would you think?

No bother. I think you might need Google Cardboard app.

They were inconsistent last year IIRC. People ordering on the same day didn't receive them on the same day.

From the previous tweet, it looks like they'll be quicker this release.I'd guess 2-7 working days.

sentient_6

I predict a mess up by Oneplus anyway! In all seriousness though I hope they have their ducks in a row this time.

biebiebie wrote: »

I'm going 6GB\64 but (128 if I can) if only so I can see and how Android deals with it. Will it gobble up everything like windows or will it make it super slick and have 20 + apps in memory or will it make no difference at all... I've always wondered what tons of RAM would do to Android and waiting on other reviews will bug me as they won't test it as sticky as I would.

Oh and for the bragging rights too!
