I have a proper pair of Sony MDRs that of course they'll never beat for quality but they're the best sounding pair of 70e headphones I've ever had. Plenty loud too and the seal on the buds is pretty cool too.

The magnets are great and to get fast charging is class. Wish it had forward/back buttons though. Only has play/pause and volume +/-.

Double press the pause button to skip tracks

Thanks!

Should I wait till it comes back in stock or just swap to the 8GB/256GB?

It's been taken off the OnePlus site. I'd say it's not coming back into stock.

Got the screen protector on pretty successfully for once. It looks to be a great fit as is designed to be put on when using the case that comes with the phone as a tool for lining everything up and it fits pretty snugly.

Here's hoping that's the only report I can ever do on it and I don't have to give any verdict on whether or can protect the screen or not!

Keep us updated on it. I have seen pictures of it lifting at the edges and air bubbles after a few days.

I've had mine on for about 5 weeks now and it's perfect. I have the cover that came with the phone on too. I get the odd air bubble on the bottom right but I can push it out and all good again.

I do have a crack down the middle but I don't notice it most of the time. I've bought a replacement but won't change just yet.

Didn't see a 7 thread, but if that's real then it looks the part.

So, less than a week in I knocked the phone off the bedside table reaching for it to knock off the alarm this morning. Official screen protector did its job perfectly and cracked badly at one side with some long cracks spreading from it the length and breadth of the screen.

Have bought the QUILLO brand tempered glass ones as an emergency replacement as can get same day delivery with Amazon.

Anyone have a Spigen case, I bought two of them, liquid air and tough armour. I'm having trouble getting a tampered screen protector to work with the cases. The lip on the cases are lifting up the edge of the screen projector. Anyone find a screen protector that works with them cases.

Got this phone back in December and must say its an absolute delight to use. I came from an iPhone6 so any phone was an upgrade but I was really impressed with all the features and quickness of this phone.

tedpan

Took my screen protector off a few weeks ago, not impressed with the gorilla glass. Hasn't been dropped, but has lots of deep scratches from just going in and out of pockets.

Great phone . Got it yesterday, And it's performance has been amazing.

Due to be delivered tomorrow

Got a deep scratch on my screen and have noticed loads of other scratches as well, I took off screen protector which I don't regret as having been an android user for 11 years now I've never used one and hate the feel of them.

Have to say I'm very disappointed with the screen, had a OG Pixel XL before this and then a Nexus 6P and not one scratch on either device.

Something to be aware of for prospective buyers.

That's very disappointing to hear. I have the one plus 5 myself with no screen protector on it. I work with tools every day, and the phone ends up in my pocket with tools and screws. After a year there's not a mark on it.

Yeah I'm gutted, actually properly gutted, I'm so incredibly careful. I have a pocket dedicated to phones, front left pocket is phone only no coins and I'm religious about it, I've no idea how it happened but there's loads of little small scratches on it that I only noticed now. You get what you pay for I suppose, I'll go back to Google in October if I can afford it at the time!

Can't stand cases or screen protectors either.

I contacted OnePlus about my scratches and they asked if I want to send it back for repair. Not sure what to do and if it will be chargeable. It's shocking how easily it scratches, there's not a mark on the back or sides of the phone.

However it's definitely the best OS and phone I've ever used.

Is it just bad timing from me or is the fast charge cable and power adapter always sold out?

Yeah it really is. I ordered one from AliExpress for around 12e (with adaptor). It's still on the way (only downside I think is it can take a good while to be delivered? I'll probably be waiting another few weeks looking at tracking) but it was a lot cheaper than the OnePlus site.

Finally ordered the 6T it to replace my Oneplus One. Should have it on Monday.

If you decide to send it back please report back or pm me with how much it costs, this will be a deal breaker for me ever buying from OnePlus again.

I've had a couple of dual sim phones and the parallel app were always a feature.

Looking to but the McLaren 6T. Any place still selling them for not mad money?

I have a small dink towards the top of the screen. I have the screen protector left on a d presumed it was a dink in the screen protector itself as it's covered by the protector but now I'm having my doubts.

Tempted to peel back the screen protector to see if the screen is ok but then I know it won't go back on and will have to come off, even though it only needs to be peeled back maybe a quarter of an inch.

Anyone have it naked and have no problems with dinks scratches etc?

Have the phone about 3 months and took the screen protector off when it arrived because I don't like the feel of it. Haven't had any issues so far thankfully.

It's made with the same gorilla glass as other devices no?

Just picked up the 256GB model yesterday as part of a contract upgrade. Moving from an iPhone 7. I must say android has come along way since the last android I had which was the galaxy S4. The screen is amazing and the features are great. The only real thing I miss from the iPhone is the swipe left to go back. Really liking the phone overall now that I've pretty got most of my apps on it that I had on the iPhone.

You know you can swipe up from left or right of screen, to go back,yeah?
I got rid of the navigation buttons completely and use gestures now.

I dabbled briefly but didn't get on with it. Too many up swipes that do different things. I'll give it another bash.

It becomes natural after a little while.

It's actually not too bad. I'll stick it out and see how it goes.

You won't regret it, it's second nature to me now and don't know why someone didn't think of these gestures years ago.

StereoSound

Those navigation buttons eat into your screen size, I did away with the Nav buttons to, the gestures become natural after awhile.

blade1

Lads one thing I haven't figured out with gestures... To have a split screen you hold down the fight back button.
How do you split the screen using gestures?

Edit: sorted now.
After swiping up and holding, there is an options menu on the top right corner of each app.

TinCool

So spent the day using the gestures method to navigate and must say it's the best option. Pretty used to it now. Only thing that's missing is a way to navigate forward.

The gestures replace the navigation bar buttons, which are back, home and recent apps. It's for navigating the system, not a browser.

Started using gestures based on this thread, much better and easier to use than I expected, ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

If you have Nova Launcher installed you can use a lot more gestures to do different things. I have a good few set up for quick access to apps and certain parts of apps. Much handier.

Dropped my phone a few days ago and seemed like a crack at the bottom left corner. I was relieved that I had forgotten to take the screen protector off and the crack was on the screen protector not the phone!

Anyway , I went and got the nylon bumper case and it feels more solid now.

Ranjo

My phone has recently started going into reading mode when I open specific apps. Namely the bank of Ireland and Garmin apps. Only those two and every time. I can toggle it back off from the shortcut menu at the top.

Anybody else seen this?

Go to Settings > Display > Reading mode
Tap 'Remove' beside the apps you don't want to open in reading mode automatically.

Hi Dave,

After lots of chasing to understand whether they'd replace under warranty, I got this today.

"I apologize for the delay in response from our side. I would like to inform you that scratches are not covered under warranty. However you can send the device to service center and it will be a paid repair. I will provide the link to check warranty details Kindly check once."

So, I'm going to wait until it becomes unusable, then send it in for repair...

Bought one of these this morning, always had a Samsung so looking foward to see what they are like

I have a question and don't have time to read through all the previous chat.

Basically, if I bought an unlocked USA 6T, would it work in Ireland? I need an answer ASAP please as I have a good deal ready to go but it won't last forever. Thanks in advance.

Yes it will work in Ireland but make sure this isn't the T-Mobile variant as that one will be locked

Isn't T Mobile the only supplier of the 6T in the USA? I was checking the oneplus USA site but I couldn't get any info if they are selling the unlocked version
