DHL showing mine as delivered to Parcel Motel at noon today.
How long before I can expect to see an update on the PM site?
Should I expect it in my local locker (south Dublin) tonight or tomorrow?

digitaldr · 21-11-2014 2:45pm

If you're lucky late tonight although I live down the road from their Dublin base if that makes a difference. I'm sure the anticipation is killing you!

Nah I doubt it. If its checked in after 11 it won't be delivered until tomorrow.

I have heard that parcel motel deliver Saturdays.

Little update on this.. Not only was my phone accidentally shipped to Prague, but I was told it would be with me in about a day. I received that email on the 14th. It arrived in Prague this morning, and I just checked the shipping info again. It's now on it's way back to Germany.

Great first experience with mailboxde anyway.

MY PHONE IS IN THE PM DEPOT SO I SHOULD HAVE IT TOMORROW

irelandrover · 21-11-2014 3:41pm

my screen broke and i need to send it back to oneplus. Im trying to get all the pictures off it but when i connect it to the computer the drive shows up as empty.

Anyone know a way i can get the data off the phone?

digitaldr · 21-11-2014 3:42pm

Just out of curiosity - how come you're getting it shipped to Parcelmotel? Was it cheaper to pay shipping to UK even with the Parcelmotel fee +/- extended pm liability or just more convenient to pick it up at a locker?

I got it shipped from Germany -> Parcel Motel for convenience

Rather than Germany -> My house as the delivery would more than likely get missed :rolleyes:

Upload a screenshot so I can see what you mean.. Or PM it to me if you're more comfortable with that.

Hi

I saw a post on the OPO forums about this and apparently this is common enough in Android. Can't remember the rest of the thread and good luck finding it! Anyway if your screen is just cracked but still works I'd suggest uploading them to Google drive.

Thanks for the answers. Screen doesnt work at all. i can use the buttons that arent onscreen but i cant unlock the phone as I cant enter the pattern.

If you can't unlock the phone, that's probably why it's not showing up with anything in the filesystem.

Have had this before.

digitaldr · 21-11-2014 4:11pm

One suggestion I saw on the OPO forums was to reboot without a sim - apparently it will restart without having to unlock it then your data will show up via USB without having to unlock it - doubt it'll work though

munkee · 21-11-2014 4:12pm

Does the screen turn on at all, i.e. can you see the pattern? If so this might be worth a try:

Basically use a USB mouse with adaptor, which you plug into the phone.

Maplin sell otg cables at the astoundingly expensive price of £11.99! I have one knocking around at home if it's any use to you.

The buttons I can deal with, although I do prefer the Immersive mode on PA..

Just after cracking screen on my One Plus One, was out for a run and it fell out of my hand. Screen cracked, touch non responsive.

Any recommendations for getting it fix?

xtal191 · 23-11-2014 7:50pm

How can I transfer everything from old phone to the oneplus one?

I tried helium but that doesnt work on the oneplus one after the latest update

Its 107 GBP to get a repair through the official site. That's what I used anyway.

irishchris · 23-11-2014 11:41pm

Seriously impressed with the battery life on this phone

Is anyone else experiencing a problem with hangouts where you no longer have the option to send group texts?

MuppetCheck · 24-11-2014 1:06am

Try the new messenger app instead maybe.

Nice one, had not heard of this before. I'll give this a try.

Icyseanfitz · 24-11-2014 10:04am

after using this for a solid week i have to say this phone is amazing, id be a pretty heavy power user (games, media etc.) and it hasnt skipped a beat, love the amount of options that are given through the developer settings, im using power saving performance (hasnt affected game performance drastically) and im still getting amazing battery life.
Everything is so damn smooth in comparison to my old s3, no stuttering or lag at all when browsing the web or switching apps. And the big screen

im not going back to anything smaller, im sold!
Only issue ive had with the phone is that it doesnt seem to lock onto my gps very well, it seems to be locking onto my 3g signal from the looks of the accuracy

Spotted that today myself as well.. Apparently I parked 3km away from work :pac: Then again, my internet signal was very weak so that might have had something to do with it.

What sort of difference is this making to your battery? I tried this once but it made the phone act a bit crazy and sluggish

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chartcross.gpstest It will tell you how many satellites you're connected to, how strong your signal is, how accurate the reading is etc. Just launch the app and give it 20-30 seconds to lock onto the available satellites assuming you're not already locked onto them via Google maps or some other app.

I'm indoors and I'm getting locked onto between 4 and 9 satellites with an accuracy of +/- 80 feet. If I put the phone up against a window it immediately goes to 13 satellites and an accuracy of 13 feet.

doesnt seem to be slowing my phone down massively, it is a little slower than say performance mode but my battery does seem to be lasting longer, then again i always make sure that i dont have a lot of apps running at once

This is a cool website where you identify where you are from as a oneplus owner.

Let's get us on the map!

Well my dock finally arrived from my AliExpress seller!! It's very cheap looking...€3 is about right. It does the job even though there's something rattling around inside when I shake the thing! Also I have to take the phone out of its case before it will fit in. I do have the TUDIA Bumper case so maybe that's to be expected but I was hoping for different.

digitaldr · 24-11-2014 4:42pm

Have you a link to that dock? Thanks.

Hi I have just acquired the OPO. I purchased it from a third party website from Hong Kong I believe. geek buying.com

Having an issue! Got a new sim in meteor store. The phone cannot pick up any signal whatsoever.(Panic stations!!) Back to meteor store. Tried another sim, same story! Powered on and off numerous times, no luck.

Tried my gf's meteor sim. Hey presto! Meteor sim working! Calls, texts, 3G. (Sigh of relief)

Back into store to let them know the story. They couldn't understand.

Tried brothers eMobile sim. Everything working. Even getting H+ signal.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? It seems to me that my OPO cannot read the new 4G sims that providers use nowadays.

Is it a simple case that I need to update software or something?

Can anyone help me on this?

irishchris · 24-11-2014 7:51pm

OK I thought I was impressed with the battery life yesterday but now going on 31+ hours and still 7% left. Really impressed considering im a moderate to heavy user of the phone. First charge wasn't that impressed but must take few charges to fully calibrate the new battery as this is really impressive. Just to add I have no power saving options enabled or power saving apps installed.
Phone itself is brilliant and takes all the things I throw at it in its stride. The only one problem I have is that it doesn't support band 20 lte. I am with meteor and this is the band that provides lte at the furthest distance from a mast. I am living in rural area and can no longer recieve lte here now. Lte still works perfect anywhere near a mast and full lte signal in town. Just hoping meteor enable lte on my local mast soon. See also next year the oneplus two is going to enable this band for European users

Is there any banking app or wallet in Ireland yet that I can load up with cash and pay for stuff in shops yet? Aldi has NFC for the Visa cards but I never saw them mention using a phone...
