I looked around a few sites when I first got the phone and they all seemed to have that condition, stopped looking after that but a friend used to work for Protect Your Bubble insurance and said that if you ring them they'll def give you a quote over the phone - I just haven't been arsed yet!

Worth a shot to ring a few of them and query the IE/UK thing

Wanted to come back and say that I've been using this since you advised me and it's great. I can no longer remember how I lived without it! So thanks for the tip.

And for anyone else not using it, get on board!

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.

ahh right i got mine off the co.uk site so i assume i am covered.

I got mine from the UK site too but the payment is to DA SHENG INTERNATIONAL TRADE CO., LIMITED.

Maybe I'm wrong on it but I'm pretty sure they are all shipped from China to the UK and then to Ireland via Parcel Motel etc.

If I'm wrong can someone let me know and I'll insure with one of the irish sites.

The double tap to wake is brilliant. I find myself tapping other phones and tablets and wondering what's wrong!

So moved to 3 yesterday and getting the amazing max download speed of 5mb, well annoyed, will be moving back to O2 once the credit is gone.

What's wrong with 5mb upload, seems plenty fast if you ask me

Thargor · 17-12-2014 10:29pm

If you tested it 20 minutes later it might have jumped to 30 mb/s anyway, its mobile broadband not Google Fiber.

Hi all,
I just happened to come across this thread while reading up on the S4 thread problems :(I am thinking about off loading the S4 so I am wondering how does this phone compare to the S4 regarding battery life etc and what accessories do you get with the phone.
Also if the phone is shipped from outside the EU what duties and taxes are you liable for.

Battery is great, comparable to my previous Note II which held the spot for phone with best battery life for quite some time.. Don't know much about accessories as i have none but it came with charger and micro usb cable.(kinda fancy cable, didn't pick the cheapest one they could find) When you buy from the UK site it is shipped from UK and if you go the German route, it must be shipped from Germany or some other EU state( I don't know as I went parcel motel way). No duties are charged to you.

donkey balls · 18-12-2014 1:09am

Thanks for that might have a look into getting one like the 64gb one.

It doesn't say anything about shipping. Everything's made in China.The iPhone made in China and you pay apple for it and that's covered. Its where you bought it and I bought in the UK and paid VAT. I'd say its covered.

My phone is constantly dropping signal and sometimes stays gone until I reboot, I've tried new sims, all which work fine in other phones, tried all combos of network settings and am on latest firmware plus tried a fresh reset, still no good, am sick of this phone at this stage

Same happening to me drops signal a LOT. I woke at like 6am and coverage was gone left it till like 3pm to see and it still was gone.... Had to reboot to get it back.... Have tried sim in an unlocked phone and its fine, settings are correct, whole lot.

If an update for the modem doesnt come soon I'll have to return it.

glynf · 19-12-2014 10:29pm

So I ordered a 64Gb yesterday

I'm with Vodafone so 4G support is out, if I was to swap carrier, who based on your experience would be the best carrier for 4G support? Mainly about Dublin Wicklow.

Thinking of a pre paid sim until my contract is up.

TIA.

Why have you no 4G support with Vodafone? Signal problems? The OPO can access bands on 800 and 1800 MHz. So you should get 4G from 3, Meteor and Vodafone.

What is your order status by the way? I ordered mine today still at pending shipment.

glynf · 19-12-2014 10:47pm

From what I read so far; Vodafone use band 20, Meteor use band 3 & 20, and Three use band 3. Not sure about O2..

From the OnePlus website, the One supports the following bands:

GSM: 850, 900, 1800, 1900MHz.

WCDMA Bands: 1/2/4/5/8.

LTE Bands: 1/3/4/7/17/38/40.

So far I have got an email confirming my order, no word on shipping yet. I assume it will be after xmas.

Vodafone do have access to the 1800MHz band but apparently they are testing it at the moment and plan to roll it out in the future. I read that on the Vodafone forum. A mate at work has a 4G capable phone with O2 but he said their rollout is delayed because of the 3 merger. Perhaps you could get prepaid sims for 3 and Meteor/eMobile and test which give the best signal in your area?

Did you order with an invite or during the open sale?

theroomisonfire · 20-12-2014 11:03am

Hi

Is there any update on when we can expect to receive the Android L update?

Also, my I use earphones a lot which don't have a microphone.when I accept a call, I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. It seems as though the microphone on the phone itself gets disabled as soon as any type of earphones are plugged in

I have been unable to find a solution. Has anyone else had the same issue and found a solution?

Thanks

Mine woks perfect with headphone on and I can still talk to the person. You must have headphones with a speaker in them, which were most likely designed for iphones. It works perfect with normal headphones.

I had the clear case one that I got with the phone and honestly is crap, a bad fit and creaky.
I got the flip case and it's much better. Hopefully will last!

Hey guys,

Having a problem with my new OnePlus One.

Everytime I turn on bluetooth and Wifi the speed totally dies. Have you experienced this? Can you fix this?

I have an LG G Watch and this is kind of a dealbreaker for me.

Yep, 100%. 2.4Ghz Wifi and Bluetooth don't play nice together on the OPO for some reason and it's a known issue. Not sure if future FW updates will fix it. Hopefully.

What FW version are you on?

For a phone that's been out for a few months, that's really bad.

That's the latest FW allright (44S) so I guess if it's going to be fixed it will have to be in a future update.

Might not hold on til then. For a phone that's been out for months and after researching this problem has been there from the start. I have an Android Wear watch so this kills its usability.

Going to opt for a Sony Xperia Z3. Thanks for your help guys!

Simi · 22-12-2014 12:31am

It almost certainly won't be fixed. It's a hardware issue. Bluetooth also operates on 2.4ghz so can interfere with Wi-Fi &vice versa. How other manufacturers deal with it I don't know, but it's not unique to the Oneplus One. I've used numerous devices over the years that suffered from this problem.

It can't be 'this' bad?

With - 0.7 Mbps

Anyway of buying the white back cover. Would love it but I have the sandstone one

wotzgoingon · 22-12-2014 1:03am

There is one way of fixing your wifi/ bluetooth problem. Switch wifi to 5GHz frequency in settings. That way both bluetooth and wifi are not on the same 2.4 Ghz frequency. Also you will need to change your router to use the 5GHz frequency if it is able to do so. If your router is fairly new and a good one it can deffo do it. If it a cheap old one then I highly doubt it has the 5GHz frequency range.

Jomcc · 22-12-2014 1:16am

Is this the same fault that's causing my Bluetooth the "quiver" when connected to handsfree kit? A few seconds after answering a call, the caller's voice quivers for perhaps 3 or 4 seconds. Seemingly my voice does the same. Comes back fine and then repeats after minute or so.
Also won't connect to car kit in Van. Very same car kit in car works fine.

Go into the settings, lock screen and change it to swipe. You'll be asked to enter the password first though.

Hi

When I plug in headphones, my oneplus one seems to disable the phones mic. Therefore, when I call people with the headphones plugged in, they can not hear me.

Is there any setting or way that I can ensure that the phones mic remains active when headphones are plugged in so that it can be used during calls?

Thanks in advance

Some one else asked this recently and I said the same thing. What type of headphones are you using?
