Try the driver in this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/driver-windows-7-8-1-t2885691

Making some progress. Got the drivers installed via the ADB interface.

Its still not appearing in windows explorer though. I tried deleting all USB drivers, restarting and reattaching the phone (with debugging switched on & off). It tries to install the drivers but fails...

If you download this: http://www.wugfresh.com/brt/

There's a drivers guide in the software that tells you how to delete everthing to start fresh again. It's also handy for unlocking and rooting phones

No need to drain modern batteries. Just charge it up.

Really interested in this phone. How does music sound on it (using headphones)?

Well it sounds pretty good to my ear using a pair of Sennheiser momentums & various in-ear headphones. It's not quite as good as the original Samsung Galaxy S, but it's much better than the Galaxy S4. If you're unhappy with the sound quality from the headphone socket, you can even attach a headphone amp using a usb otg cable & bypass the internal dac/amp!

Thanks. As the phone is on the larger side I was hoping to avoid using a separate headphone amp as well. From what you say it sounds like it should be ok for general use and anyway there are some decent 64bit music apps out there that I can use to tweak. Now just have to sort out some money and hopefully get my hands on an invite. Gas for this phone is increasing on a daily basis.

I also ordered mine Thursday, standard delivery, and collected it this morning (Monday) I am convinced it was in my PM last night but I can deal with 'only' having it today!

OPO number 2 for me, let's hope this one last longer than the 1st one!

irishgeo

Yes, you can add it to the drop down menu.

Well i updated to CM12 and it is actually very smooth and runs very well for a daily driver. I was going to hold out for 12S but got itchy feet and updated. The only thing I miss is the camera app as you get the google camera app and the V to turn on flash light is missing as well. Double tap to wake and lock is still there.

Thanks but its telling me it wont run on Win32.

I have rooted the phone, it tells me it is connected as a media device, just cant see it in windows explorer.

The google Camera app isn't great at all, but you can get the default CM Camera app (Camera next) from here. Works fine.

Mine's not great either. Wondering if there might some apps causing an issue or if there's any way to improve it?

They promised it would be available within 90 days of it's release. When was Lollipop officially released? Was it with the release of Nexus 6?

There's cm 12 nightlies out already. Should be out in the next month I'd say.

Go into settings and battery and see whats draining it, theres always something you can do, turn down the brightness if its the screen eating the battery, turn off GPS when you dont need it, install an app that turns off data and wifi if the screen is off and reactivate it when the screen comes on (I avoided these apps on previous phones but the OPO is so fast to reconnect they're an option now). Loads of stuff you can do.

does any one get the magnification when you double tap a number on the lock screen?

Had all three, don't rate the S5. My favourite to use was the M8 but I find the OPO's camera more idiot proof. There's an easy €150 saving going for the OPO which is hard to ignore and the fact that the M9 isn't all that far away.

Its Android System and Kernal (along with Media Server sometimes) which seem to be my main drainers

Thanks for your reply, haven't heard many positive things about the S5 either, might have to toss a coin

Your actually triple tapping it, I was doing the same and you triple tap to make it disappear.
1.Go to Settings > Accessibility (Very bottom of menu)> Magnification gestures.
2.Set the switch to the on or off position.

I'm very tempted to jump ship from windows to this phone. I absolutely loved the Lumia 920 because it had excellent hardware that was robust. I "upgraded" to the 930 which is a fragile ball of shyte that keeps breaking.

I have a few questions for owners.

I really like the window UI, I'm getting the impression I could possibly make the android UI look something like it or even better?

The lumias have excellent cameras and I like being able to adjust all the settings as if I was using a DSLR. I haven't heard great things about the camera on this phone though. Does anyone know how it compares to the lumia cameras? I've heard it's a bit grainy, although if I can use RAW and adjust in photoshop with lots of information in the photo I wouldn't mind too much.


Did they ever get it working on our 4G bands?

This phone is well worth it. I was a S II and then a Note II owner and said I will never go to anything but a Samsung but this phone swayed me. The camera is good on this phone. Being honest with you i would say the lumia camera would be a bit better, it is still a good camera though. You sound like you know all about pictures and editing which I have no clue about. I tried to edit a RAW image file but I didn't have a clue what i was at.

Some people done amazing things with the RAW files on this phone so it would be worth it for that as it is a good sony sensor. I do not have a 4G sim so I do not know anything about 4G. Some networks work with it and others are hit and miss namely vodafone.

Is there any way to enhance the speaker volume?
I love this phone but my speaker volume is pretty poor

ive had both, in terms of design and sound the M8 wins hands down but i would say the OPO wins in pretty much every other department, i gave up my M8 to get this so it was a brave move but one that paid off, the only nightmare and one ive given up on is that no matter how many times i try and how many PC's i use the drivers for this simply will not install whereas on every other smartphone they installed ,some took me a few attempts but got there, have tried over 12 times with the OPO, followed numerous guides but to no avail so 3 months later im still not rooted, im not even majorly fussed not running a custom ROM but the ability to block ads and save battery life would be great but i cant do that./
