    No pub for me, I'm on crutches for the last 3 weeks and next three weeks :(

    Perfect for playing with setting up my new phone though ;)

    I think you will. Looks to me that they update their system to Shipped a day after the phones actually ship. If it gets to PM in Belfast by Friday morning then it'll be in Dublin by Friday evening.

    You were Spot on there SteM. My order was changed to "Shipped" at 4am but having just checked the tracking number I see it was signed for in PM Newry at 10:55am. There is no way it shipped to Newry in 7 hours.

    Happy days for me though as I should be able to collect it from my local PM tomorrow morning :p

    If you are in Dublin I would bet my house you will have it tonight. Your main problem is getting a case for it now. There's a nice guy on adverts doing some at a reasonable price.

    Anyone else have the issue with wifi cutting out and disconnecting after a period of time if the OPO is also streaming to a bluetooth music speaker at the same time?

    Getting a bit annoying while using google music.

    Noticed a crack across the screen today. Hoping it is the tempered glass and not the actual screen.

    Afraid to take a proper look :(

    As our American cousins would say "I'm all set" in regards to a case and I also have a wet application screen protector which I need to read the instructions on carefully. Leaving the phone for 24 hours whilst it drys/bakes on is going to be hard!!

    Did you order on Friday? Parcel Motel also have mine today, can't wait to get it :D. Another interesting point is Royal Mail indicated the origin of the parcel was Belfast, do One Plus have a distribution warehouse there?

    I doubt it. I think the receipt states that the parcel was delivered from their Belfast depot. All that means AFAIK is that it went OPO -> local Royal Mail Depot wherever the OPO operation in the UK is -> Royal mail ship to their regional depot in Belfast -> who deliver directly to PM. Belfast is simply listed because that is the depot which dispatched the parcel to PM.

    You're spot on. Just got a PM notification its sitting waiting for me about 2km away. Pity I drank a bottle of wine with my Missus earlier or I'd be straight in the car to pick it up.

    Ah well, at least I'll have sweet dreams.

    So I just opened my OPO box and I have the first of many questions:-

    The notice at the bottom of the screen cover which the phone has on arrival says "This card holds informaiton about your device, please keep this with you along with the warranty card."

    Does that mean I have to keep the screen cover after I peel it off? also, the statement refers to a warranty card but there wasn't a warranty card in the box. I have removed everything from the box and all that was in it was the phone, a USB cable and a tool for opening the sim tray.

    Yeah I got this one in blue from them, it's really nice I think and didn't take long considering it came from China, think it actually came registered too. I like it cause you don't have to open it to take calls:
    http://www.oppomart.com/accessories/new-style-chyi-smart-phone-case-for-oneplus-one.html

    However I also really like the rubber bumper case that our daytob sent me, so I'm kinda swapping around at the moment. I honestly think the bumper case would give it more protection in the event of a fall.

    Also using the Orzly glass screen protector and it's great, not a single tiny bubble or mark of any kind, you wouldn't even know it's there. I don't know how in the name of God I did it but there isn't a spec of dust trapped underneath and it's on perfectly straight. I was a bit stressed doing it cause these thing don't normally go right for me!

    Welcome to up-to-date open source technology! Don't be afraid to root it or like many people coming from iPhones, don't be afraid to sideload non playstore apps. Rooting will give you access to more than just blocking ads, most importantly when you've set your phone up exactly the way you want it, you can back everything up including the user data/settings for every app. There's other cool things you can do like lower the DPI with 'texdroider_dpi' to fit more on your screen etc.

    If you did nothing else after rooting it than those 2 it's still well worth it.

    i always root when i get the phone because you've to reset the phone if you want to root in the future. i think.

    just got OPO there last week, very nice. slightly prefer it to my nexus 5 as the wifi and phone reception is better. apart from that, it's pretty much the same.

    If you mean the three features I mentioned, ad blocking, user data backup and DPI settings then no, you need root access for those.

    Is all that necessary on the latest update or something? I did it on 25R and I'm sure it was a hell of a lot simpler than that. Here's a link to the way I did it, but can't confirm if the process is still the same for the latest update, I'm sure someone else can let us know. I didn't even bother with the backup part:
