    Mine took 4 days…not sure why so quick as I went with the same shipping option as everyone else.

    Absolutely loving it…but get that case on. It already nearly slipped off the couch!

    Biggest complaint i'd have to say is the loudspeaker. It ain't that loud. Im coming from a HTC One with dual front facing speakers, so that doesnt help, but it's a disappointing speaker. Putting calls on loudspeaker is a bit pointless.

    Battery is much better now. Getting a pretty active day out of it, and plugging in at around 30%.

    OxygenOS drops the 0 from phone numbers, so when I text someone on 0871234567 it shows as 871234567. When they text back it comes in as a new message thread. Slightly annoying.

    Other than those 2, happy out.

    Snakey of them to put 2 speaker holes on the bottom of the phone, but only 1 houses a speaker..... the left one.

    Yup only for aesthetics, I also find the placement silly if I'm watching something side view my hands always block the speaker accidentally

    Not sure if this is what you guys mean, but I find that if you pull down the notifications from the top of the screen and tap on the network icon it toggles the data on /off and the exclamation mark pops up to show the data blocked. At least I think that's whats happening, I was waiting for a whatsapp too and was getting nothing!

    Initially that's what I thought had happened as well. So I tried to toggle it to on, but it was already on! So then I clicked the little downward facing triangle beside the network provider name and it also showed data was actually on.

    So I toggled it on and off a few times, waiting a bit for it to try connect to the service each time, with no luck. Then as soon as I rebooted a slew of messages came in.

    Is the GPS actually on when I have location on in the pull down menu? Was using Google maps today and it wouldn't pick me up, assuming it should have a blue dot in my live location.

    Get the GPS status app I the market, you can check with that to see if it's working and use it to reset GPS data

    The ceramic one isn't out yet, other than the 5 that are being auctioned for charity. Looks like India getting it next week though so shouldn't be too long now. As for which is better, most reviews have said it is hard to tell the difference, other than the ceramic being heavier, seems hard to justify the extra 100eur...

    Any reason you would get a ceramic phone when you are just going to put a cover over it anyway. Lets me honest about it :D

    Especially when charging. I tend to hold the phone with my pinky at the bottom, somewhat gripping the charger cable.... exactly where the speaker is.

    I had a work conference and I used the phone to take some photos to add to a work related social platfrom. The images were brutal when I looked at them on my pc later, very soft. Its not a good camera at all. Also, oddly it only seems to give the option of a flash in video mode... It seems to try and use software to brighten photo mode. The flash setting option disappears in this mode.

    Was just looking on the website there. Phone cost €269 and shipping is €25. Is there a cheaper alternative for shipping?

    And are the covers on the website a good idea when buying?

    I thought the same regarding the flash. There is a flash option but it disappears when beauty or hdr mode are on, you just need to unclick whichever button is clicked and the flash option reappears

    I'd have a Oneplus X over the 5X and 6P over the Oneplus 2. So all depends on how much you're happy to spend.

    Completely different price ranges. OPX is amazing for under €300, if you have the funds for a nexus6 or OP2 go for them

    I signed up for a new account last Thursday night about 12, had my invite by Sunday evening order placed Monday morning, phone in my hands yesterday afternoon.

    Coming from a cracked screen nexus 4 were I had to rotate the phone to do anything on it I'm loving the new phone, still do the rotating here and there lol.

    Dropped it already thankfully no damage any ideas on a case that feels grippy in your hand? The gel case that came with it is as smooth as the phone, not good.

    I went to Settings-Apps and just disabled the Google App. No other repercussions to disabling this as far as I can see. Any other bugs I mentioned previously were occurring before I disabled it.

    Karbon case is decent, almost like a rubber feel to the finish so plenty of grip. It's pricey though with shipping etc!

    Ill try that, I had a feeling something was blocking it, with those modes on it may explain the soft very processed look so possibly a case of my bad.
    Edit - thanks a mil that was it. The image quality is better also...thankfully I had my slr with me also for the important ones!

    Its still not the best camera shooter I've used...

    Just interested to hear what people think of their Oneplus X's ?! I've had mine a week and so far would sum up as such:

    Pros:

    Feels nice in the hand and seems good quality.
    The notification button (on/off/priority) is very handy.
    Price: €300 for a 16gb phone is pretty decent I'd say.
    FM radio is very handy and something I use a lot-one of the reasons I bought it.
    Screen quality is very good imo.

    Cons:

    To my mind the on/off and volume control buttons should be the other way around. Just a small thing I'm sure I'll adjust to but it's a bit annoying.
    The sound quality from the speakers is adequate but nothing special at all.
    The battery seems adequate but nothing special.


    I haven't really tested the camera out much but it seems about what I'd have expected from a phone in this price range. I had a Gen. 2 Moto G prior to this. The phone died after 6 months! Despite that I really loved it considering it was €180. It was a toss-up between the Gen.3 Moto G and the Oneplus X. There's no doubt the Oneplus feels a bit more premium but a bit of me is still regretting not getting the Moto G! Front-facing speakers and water-proof capacity being the obvious advantages from my view point.

    It's a great phone for the money, yeah it had/has a few issues but they will be ironed out with updates. I really don't think you can get a better phone for under €300

    With regards to the update, a poll on the OPX forum suggests that is has been rolled out to less than 10% of owners.

    I realise you can do it yourself but as I am in no rush I'll sit it out. My phone is working like a dream to be honest. I find the toggle thing a bit tricky to slide but that's about it.

    I absolutely love the display.

    I just got an OTA for the OS - it mentioned SD card related fixes.
    I don't have one at moment to tell if its cured any problems.

    Oxygen version is 2.1.3

    That is interesting. There was a feeling on the forums that they'd stopped the rollout due to various issues but obviously not. I'm not using an SD card yet so I might hold off from the ota if I'm offered it.
