    Hmmm, my first snag, set up everything perfectly, rooted it fine etc, set up wi-fi, logged into Google and Cyanogenmod accounts fine, downloaded all my contacts etc. Received a load of texts that I missed while my sim was out of action, replied to a couple fine, received by recipient etc, signal icon up in the corner says 4G, all the Three Ireland APNs look okay, I just cant make a phonecall, it just says out of range every time, anyone else had this issue?

    Did anyone buy one of the official flip cases from one plus one ?

    Yup, I bought the black one and I'm really glad that I did

    Very nice classy looking case. Not sure on the protection as I've not dropped it :pac:

    Cool thanks. I emailed one plus last night to see if I could add a case to my order now and have it all shipped at once. They got back to me this morning and it's a no go. They said they can't add additional items to an order afterwards.
    I wouldn't mind but mine is still processing :(

    There should be a little pin to open it in the box.

    You got the pin in the red plastic sleeve in your packaging??

    You just need a longer version of the iphone pin. The back end of a needle will do. It's the hole located directly above the volume buttons incase you hadnt found it.

    I have mine all set up now, its blindingly fast especially with 4G in apps like Maps etc.

    It just occurs to me though that Im just recreating the same old Android with Apex Launcher and 3D clock widget Ive been using for years, its time to move on. How do you get those amazing looking phones you see some people using? the kind where the clock looks like its part of the wallpaper and all that, is there an app that will do it for you?

    The kind you see in threads like this:

    cheers lads, got the Sim into the phone, grand. Never had an iPhone or anything other than a S3, so this was new to me.

    Would I need a new SIM to get 4g on 3?

    It really is a very impressive phone. The little things like gestures, double tapping the screen when locked to unlock is extremely handy.

    Yup I got home from work and my battery was on 80% without a charge since this morning and fairly moderate use as I get work calls. IPhone would have been dead by 10am.

    Can't wait to get this now. Ordered yesterday evening and status now is processing.

    Just wondering on the screen real estate, I'm a junkie for high res. I'm using slimrom on an s3 with google now launcher and I get 30 apps per screen, how many is possible with oneplus one?

    I love the draw a circle to get to camera gesture.

    What other cool things does this do.

    Should I get any cool apps?

    I have a minor problem but I read a lot of books on the phone so this annoys me...

    When you turn a page in a reader app like Kindle or Aldiko the lights behind the 3 capacitive buttons down the bottom come on, my last phone didnt do this, is there anything I can do to tell them to stay off just when Im reading?

    I have the glass of the titans i got from aliexpress its amazing. got 2 of them and took one off and put a sp on mine. then put another glass of the titans on top of that. coupled with the case i can drop my phone from about shoulder height onto stone or concrete and know it is safe.
