I'm using (the paid version of) u torrent and I don't seem to have that issue. I click on the magnet link and away it goes.

Thanks. Maybe I should use the paid version so. I am doing the exact same thing I have done on my previous phones (SG3 and HTC) but nothing is happening.

digitaldr · 08-06-2015 9:50am

I've had the free version for ages & never had a problem.

maximoose · 08-06-2015 10:02am

Same here, never any issues with utorrent.

Thargor · 08-06-2015 10:12am

Exact same problem as Gazzer for me aswell so I just switched to Vuse, way slicker programme and better control of files and folders, cant tell if it uses more or less battery power, insignificant difference anyway. I used utorrent for years and it was working on Oneplus before but I had to get rid of it from my laptop and switch to Vuse aswell when it turned into pure bloatware overnight, maybe the prolem is at utorrents end.

Lucas Hood · 08-06-2015 10:20am

Think Flud is much better than Utorrent.

Accidentally dropped my phone two weeks ago and pretty much smashed the lens of the rear view camera. It's still working but photos are useless - blurry and hazy. Anyone know where I might get a repair?
Oneplus customer service just tried quoting me €247 just to replace this tiny circle of glass & that's almost the price of a new one.
I've only had the phone since mid March.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Replace it yourself. Its beyond easy.

Morning all!

My head isn't screwed on properly this morning, it being Monday and all

But I'm trying to switch my Gapps out from one type to another.

In the XDA thread for this, the below instructions are given:

In order to switch to TK GApps from another GApps provider or remove an Addon Module you're no longer using, you will need to (from Recovery - In the order listed):
1.Manually wipe (format) your System partition
2.Flash your ROM
3.Flash GApps package
4.Flash any Addon Modules (optional)
5.Wipe the Dalvik & cache
6.Reboot

NOTE: You won't lose any of your data or application settings using this method. This method MUST be used when switching to TK GApps from another GApps provider.

Now, it's the NOTE that I don't get.
Surely if I wipe my system ala part 1, I will certainly lose my data and app settings as the note states that I won't!

Anyone with a functioning brain this morning tell me this isn't a contradiction? :pac:

Cina · 08-06-2015 1:12pm

Constantly sold out on the site right now. Rather frustrating as I really want one!

What's the best way to completely back up the phone and restore. I have a few glitches and I'm wondering if a reset would solve it. Or will the restore just bring back the glitches I already have? Any thoughts?

Just wipe and start again, its the best way to trim the fat you dont use, same for Windows installations. If you've synced to Google nothing that matters will be lost.

But is there a way of backing up app data?

I'd say so. I have always been saying on here since my Galaxy S II and my Note II that you should do a clean install of every update to cut back on bugs.

The Sparrow · 08-06-2015 9:31pm

So Exodus is pretty sweet. Took me all day yesterday messing around with drivers on two laptops and two cables to get it installed but I got there eventually and it was worth it. It is much faster than CM12.0 and just over all way more responsive. Battery also seemed better today but we'll see how that goes.

You need to flash Xposed next, opens up a whole new world

irishgeo · 08-06-2015 9:40pm

i just installed xposed hoping its going to fix my battery issues.

otherwise i am going to have to move to a different rom.

Yep, that's it. Be careful what modules you install, not all them work, I listed some a few posts back. Take a Nandroid backup in recovery before you install it in case something messes up.

Liquidus · 09-06-2015 1:32pm

Since the lollipop update the GPS has turned to crap, it doesn't update in realtime. However if I close map then open it up again then it will show new location but it is fixed.
Factory reset, set to high accuracy or installing gps fix apps does not fix it.

I must say that my experience with lollipop in general on all devices has been sketchy at best. Never really fulfilled the promise and pushed on from Jellybean. I think loads of changes were for the worse and stability just isn't there.

To be honest I'm tired of all OS available atm. iOS is too restricted. Android needs so much work to get up and running on the latest version and Windows Phone is just miles behind with apps. Sorry to be going off topic but the lack of stability with software and battery life is getting to me! :P

JonnyM · 09-06-2015 5:29pm

I have swapped over to Vodafone 4g but I'm still not able to pick up 4g signal. Is there any other settings I need to change? Any help much appreciated! I'm living in Arklow but its showing I should be able to pick up signal outdoors. I have also been up around dundrum bray etc but still nothing.

Omeceron · 09-06-2015 9:17pm

Has anyone had any problems with the front LED light?

Since I moved to Cyanogen it hasn't worked properly. It is very faint, I can barely see it when the phone is charging.

I tried the lightflow app but no joy. I have flashed Exodus on it today but that hasnt made any difference either.

Kid Nothing · 10-06-2015 10:09am

Guys, has anyone had any issues with "grounding", i.e. the touchscreen not responding correctly? I've read a decent amount on the OnePlus forum about it but there doesn't seem to be a complete answer anywhere. It's incredibly frustrating and at this point i'm thinking of getting rid of the phone due to it. Thanks

I'm also having the same problem and phantom touches (usually when I try to unlock, at least once a day). Like you, i think i will return the phone.

For some reason this morning the touchscreen on the phone did not respond and I was pressing it like a frustrated pedestrian at a traffic light:mad: I could not reboot no response at all from the screen. Rooted and I was running CM12 with the latest nightly updates. Rebooted eventually and went into a boot loop so had to do a recovery.

Bit of a frustration but overall happy enough with the phone

The solution was posted here recently as I had encountered the same problem, hasnt happened me once since I turned off the ambient display and double tap to wake.

I think that was the solution, have a read a few pages back and you should find it.

Zascar · 10-06-2015 1:39pm

Guys my OnePlus has started going haywire. Firstly when I type it sometimes seems t stall for a second and miss a letter or two, very annoying. Then other times it seems to hang for longer and is just unresponsive, for for 10-20 seconds, not even the buttons the bottom respond. So annoying! I'm on the latest CM12, what can I do to fix this?

Same as the post above, turn off ambient display and double tap to wake.

moggser · 11-06-2015 4:43am

Just ordered one of these ,is there anything that I need to do with it off the bat to stop some of the probs you lot seem to be having g so far

Is this pre rooted or will I have to do this ?

Gran Hermano · 11-06-2015 7:10am

There seems to be less problems if you stick with standard (clean install) and not trying out different ROMs.

I'd go with the phone as is, you can always play around with ROMs and add one later. I'd do an OTA check out to make sure it is the latest CM. If it updates do a factory reset. Familiarise yourself as to what's now included in the OS as standard, I found I no longer needed some of my usual apps.

Cheers,think I will leave it alone when I get it haven't tinkered with a rom in a while so think I'll stat that way

whats it based on right now? Is it kit kat or lolipop based

Gran Hermano · 11-06-2015 7:27am

Latest is 5.0.2.lollipop.

moggser · 11-06-2015 7:30am

Grand thanks.. how's the battery with it? If it's not already on it when it gets here should I bother updating to it??

While I think of it is there a way to get Google caller I'd on there ?

Hopefully I can turn back on the ambient display not that I have missed it much tbh or the double tap to wake.

My experience is exactly the opposite.

The phone is way better since I put Exodus on it. All of the little niggly bugs such as touchscreen being unresponsive and the phone getting too hot and poor battey have been solved by Exodus and the phone is much snappier and definitely more responsive.

I only installed Exodus last night. So just getting my phone back to the way I want it. Hard to put my finger on anything in specific, but it does feel better, snappier and less issues overall, so glad I did it.

Is there anything else I should install/change or be doing now that I've joined the Exodus world?

Hey pal!
When you went to Exodus, did you do a clean install?
Start from fresh or bring a backup with you?

Thanks

You can look at Xposed modules:

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/g...-alpha.276212/

I haven't got my head fully around them yet but mass_debater posted some info about them on the last couple of pages. I also changed the screen back to vibrant because I thought it looked a little washed out when it was reset during the Exodus install.

Yeah I did a completely fresh install. Most of my stuff was already backed up on the cloud or wasn't really important so I just started completely clean.

AFAIK most people recommend that you do a completely fresh install. You have to unlock the bootloader to use custom roms so unless you have done that before, it will wipe your data anyway.

Although you should make a nandroid backup just in case anything goes wrong

sentient_6 · 11-06-2015 1:02pm

Regards the phone running smoother on Exodus, there's alot to be said for a clean install of anything! Don't get me wrong I'm on that rom myself and love it.

I am already good to go for the most part

I am using the CM12.1 nightlies, so am unlocked and have the latest TWRP.

Only thing I don't have is a nandroid backup, so I might make one, though I haven't done this in years as was never that concerned, but might be handy to have in case anything goes wrong

I was going to do a fresh install of the latest CM nightly, but I'm sick of CM to be honest, so might give Exodus a go!

Thanks

Ive had my phone apart twice because i smashed the screen twice.

I have no touch screen issues at all. And i never 'insulated' the digitizer. If its not meant to be in there dont put it in there. Tolerances are very very very slim
