Mine was sent out by Royal Mail Signed For (standard shipping not Express) on a Thursday, arrived at PM on Friday afternoon and I collected it the next day.

I ran into the can't connect to camera issue last night. Had to restart the phone.. Hopefully its a software bug that's addressed on the next update

Happened to me today too.

I have a small bit of yellow tinge at the bottom of my screen. It's not a big deal but if theres a handy fix I'd appreciate being pointed in the right right direction.

Hi guys, my OPO rings twice and goes to message minder, so tried turning off voice mail but now it just cuts people off after two rings ?
Any ideas?

Probably just glue, should dissappear in a few weeks.

If you've access to a sunbed or other strong UV light, 20 mins should do the trick. Or direct sunlight though we're unlikely to get much more of that now, but not through a car's windscreen as they block UV rays. Otherwise after a few weeks screen usage it should die down.

That's normally down to your provider's voicemail settings, I don't think there's any settings on the phone itself for that.

It could also be the backlight, the OPO is lit from the bottom of the screen. It'll lessen with continuous use/you'll stop noticing it after a while.

Thanks for all the feedback ref the yellow tinge. I think I'll just let it work itself out.

This is from back in the day (i.e. early naughties) but you can use the dark art of hash tag codes to instruct your network how long you want your phone to ring before it goes to voicemail (if you have it activated) or terminates if you don't have voicemail activated.

RINGS UNTIL ANSWERED BY YOUR VOICEMAIL


If your mobile's voicemail number is, for example:
+353-875-1319873

....and you want your phone to divert to your voicemail after say 20 seconds, then type the following into your phone app EXACTLY as it's typed below:

**61*+3538751319873**20#

The time can be up to 30secs (network default) so change the final "**20#" to "**30#" if you want 30 seconds or "**15#" if you want voicemail to be activated after 15 minutes.

It's important to understand that your voicemail number is your existing mobile number with the number 5 added after the network prefix i.e. if your mobile number is 086 3456789 your voicemail number is 0865 3456789 and the similarly 085 3456789 becomes 0855 3456789 and so on. (You drop the "0" before the 87 or 86 network prefix when using hash tag codes)

I haven't used hash codes for a few years but it's worth a try if nothing else works.

See http://www.cellular.co.za/gsm_hash_code.htm for a comprehensive list of hash codes.

Anyone recommend an app which would auto silence the phone (ring tones, notifications etc) if the phone is placed face down? I'd like to use something like this for meetings in conjunction with Flash Blink https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.faiyyaz.flashblink so all you have to do is place your phone face down during a meeting/presentation and it automatically goes silent but the flash blinks once (or whatever you set it to) if there is an incoming call.

Try gravity screen. I think that has a setting to silence the phone when facedown.

I have the first one and the OPO fits perfectly in it.

I have one of these, searched for years for a decent mount, don't like anything with suction cups and vent mounts are awful. Advantage of this one is you can use the large metal plate between phone and case without sticking and it sticks perfectly, so you can change case or phone and keep using the system.

Phone is parked at DHL at Brisbane airport 10 mins away from my house ready for delivery. Hoping it arrives at my workplace before 11.30am tomorrow!!

I know it was asked already but it was at the start of the thread where the OPO was still new, has anyone seen any decent cheap cases on Aliexpress or anywhere else lately? Id like one of the soft leather ones that can be used as a stand like some tablet cases but Ill go for anything as long as its good. Looked on Ebay but it was all horrible tat.

I have a Diztronic case coming either tomorrow or Tuesday that I'll give my thoughts on, judging by the Amazon feedback on both the US and UK sites it seems the best one out so far as is only about €11.

This looks great! i also dislike suction cups and i find the windscreen is too far away anyway.
Question though, does this not have a negative effect on the phone? electrics and magnets an all

Anyone used the aluminium bumpers for the OPO? Like the fact that they don't add any bulk but they could be flimsy enough..

I don't think so, I have never noticed any difference over the years.

Lads looking at getting a Tudia case off Amazon UK but the sellers don't post here and my PM is a half hours drive I tried the old add the Belfast BT11AA and it still won't work unless I change country to UK.

Has anyone ever managed to get something delivered here using a postcode and UK as the country?

Like it would need to be:

I got a TUDIA bumper on Amazon just last week.....look for one that is sold by Amazon themselves ...like ones with "Prime" written underneath.

I ordered two small value items on eBay about three weeks ago using BT1 1AA and they never turned up. First time that ever happened to me.

Not the one I want unfortunately, this what I'm after http://www.amazon.co.uk/TUDIA-Bumper-Protective-OnePlus-Smartphone/dp/B00LWSRVN8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411318608&sr=8-1&keywords=oneplus+one+tudia

The only prime one is http://www.amazon.co.uk/TUDIA-Melody-Protective-OnePlus-Smartphone/dp/B00MIGBK2Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411319101&sr=8-3&keywords=oneplus+one+tudia

I'm pretty sure that one was in stock only a few days ago. If it were me I'd wait and keep checking.

Oh hang on...I remember.... it was being sold by the same seller AplarsUSA but it was "Fulfilled by Amazon" then....seems to come and go.
