And I'm not sure there is better still to be honest, been looking at the nexus 5x and 6p today after hearing about the sale but the main deal breaker for me would be the storage, im using about 36GBs on my 2 at the moment, mostly music, and I like having that memory to play with.

Oxygen rom certainly isn't perfect but not bad, I wasn't getting long freezes being talked about, more like the odd 1 sec pause, but iv switched to Razor and honestly I can see myself holding on to this phone for a good awhile now.

I've had a few freezes and random reboots since launch but nothing major and to be honest I would have had similar on my HTC M7, Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and OPO.

16Gb for the One Plus Two isn't even an option any more, seems the buying public realise how limited that is these days and paid the extra.

If only Apple would do the same eh?

Trolling aside, with that discount I posted/used earlier in the thread, the 64Gb comes in at about 350. I think that's pretty great value.

OnePlus also got rid of the 16gb OPO at an early stage so don't know why they bothered launching a 16gb OP2. Hopefully OP3 will be 32gb and 64gb.

I wonder any custom ROMs support fingerprint unlock? Cool feature and stops me from rooting

I find the fingerprint scanner a bit flakey tbh, sometimes its completely unresponsive and sometimes it takes appears to have unlocked the phone but bring me back to the lock screen... ~When it works properly its very good, up there with apples TouchID. When it doesnt work its frustrating

Even though I love my oneplus 2, I might sell it this month because I'm getting the blackberry priv

I found it slow when finger is wet. I fund handy scan your new finger rotating it every time you calibrate the sensor, works well since

You keep downgrading your phone

You selling it on adverts or CEX?

Blacktie.

Does anyone here have the gopro app? It's showing up as incompatible with my device...

ALERT!

Price drop from today, €349 in the yoyo shop and refund to those who bought over the last 15 days

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/this-just-in-the-oneplus-2-has-a-brand-new-price.427793/

Great price for that phone and I'm curious to see if the refund will happen for those who used the discount code from a few weeks ago.

Looking at the one plus two as an upgrade from an ailing Galaxy S3. Seems like a great price for the specs, and I'm basically set on getting it with the price change. Seems a great price for the specs (battery is a big one for me too).

Just grabbed one there. Paid for priority shipping, hopefully it arrives by Friday.

Quick question, I presume they'll package it with the appropriate 3 pin plug considering it's being sent to Europe/Ireland?

How much did priority cost you? I used the standard when I got mine there just after Xmas.

pawrick

tempted to buy one but not sure of their 4G reception due to the band issues. Unfortunately I don't know anyone with one to test it out in my area. Anyone here having issues with 4G in areas that otherwise work fine for 4G? Maybe it's not as big a problem as I am led to believe?

4G is not an issue, it supports LTE bands 3 and 20 which we use here

Standard shipping is free, priority is €16.49. I grabbed it in case standard took 'til next week. How long did standard take to get delivered?

It took mine 9 days to receive it. Don't know if that's good or bad but I didn't expect it to arrive quick anyways.


Just noticed the oneplus 2 is now €349......

thanks thought it didn't support one of them from the forums i was reading? Maybe that was the oneplus one or the x and I got it mixed up?

might bite the bullet so and move away from samsung as I'm between it and the S6

That's the OnePlus One, only supports band 3

eh i dunno

The price is very appealing now. Would it be much better than this lg phone on sale in argos http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/2782340.htm

Not a whole lot but the LG is a 2014 phone of slightly better specs than the first nexus 5 (bigger battery, better screen). I'd opt for the OnePlus two myself as it's a 2015 phone

For f--- sake! I was hoping to sell mine soon

Also paid 75 Euro more for it than it would cost me now!

Ordered yesterday morning. Got a text today from DHL regarding what I can only assume is the phone, informing me it'll be delivered tomorrow. Pretty good service if it's being delivered from China/HK directly.

They usually come from The Netherlands. Either way, looks like good service.

If that's true I shouldn't have bothered paying for the priority delivery (16.49). I only did so in case I'd be waiting 'til after the weekend for delivery.

If they are indeed being delivered from the Netherlands it's quite possible I could have saved that money and had it by Friday.

No big deal anyway. They covered PayPal fees too (I know this is expected, but I've dealt with merchants who pass the 1.5% charge to buyers before which is bothersome).

Nah, i still would have gone with the priority if you needed it in a hurry, order a battery pack from them in December and toke them 3 weeks to deliver it.

I might get one of these for the missus. I quite like mine and despite a few flaws it's a really good phone for the money I paid.

They're coming from the UK now. Usually within 3 days.

Got mine yesterday. All is well so far bar one small thing. When earphones are plugged in, and when I'm performing any action on screen (moving around a webpage, or even typing this post), I get a very slight interference through the earphones. It's very slight but it's quite annoying.

Has anyone else run into this issue? Gonna try another pair of earphones soon. Seems like this person has the exact same issue too.

Yes, I get that on all headphone. Apple, Monster and a few generic brand ones. Contacted OnePlus and apparently my headphones "aren't compatible". Absolute idiots! Then asked to do this that and the other, so I just gave up since I didn't have the energy.
