Ok going to get one of these and get rid of the one plus one. However going to hold off on purchasing until those friendly developers over on XDA come up with a good rom.

Where is the best place to purchase this phone?

Direct from One Plus Three, I bought mine when it came out. Gave herself my One Plus One.

Delighted with the purchase the dash charge is insane.

The fingerprint is lightning fast.

I love the Camera.

Sweet. Downloading now. Cheers for the tip

Dash charging is proprietary so won't feature in any ROM

Just trying out sRGB colours a lot more muted so will take some getting used to. Overall I like it as white backgrounds look whiter with none of that annoying pink tinge that was there pre update . I see colour balance isn't available in sRGB mode.

Actually, are there any compatible ear phones that will work with the OP3? (for calls/mic also). My Apple eapbuds didn't work with my OPO so i assume its the same with the OP3?

OnePlus Silver Bullets €13 or Icons €50

I know Sennheiser make Android specific ear/headphones. I'd assume they work with the OP3.

Maybe sRGB mode not so great after all - decisions decisions......

Just tried ordering.
Can't add the "go big or go home" bundle - buds are out of stock. support says the screen protector is out of stock as well

I saw someone complaining about the thickness of the tempered glass.

Decent enough selection of accessories on Amazon/Ebay and they're cheaper. Worth a look at least.

Funny wasn't able to do that trick at all over eir/wifi broadband but as soon as I went to LTE it worked fine.

Nice one!

Thanks, didn't see the silver bullets before and wasn't willing to pay €50 for the other ones, had i have seen the silver bullets i would have ordered them with the phone :-(

Don't really wanna pay €18 shipping for something that costs €13. If anyone here is in the Shannon/Limerick area and are going to order the phone then PM me if you want to order the silver bullets and i will collect them off you.

Anyone using the dual sim functionality?
I have a 48 sim and a three sim. The 3 sim is giving nothing but grief. Drops in and out of service.
the sim is fine in other phones.
I have swapped the sims in the trays and tried a vodafone sim without issue.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Very happy with the sRGB option on the new update. Main thing that was bothering me with the phone was how bad things looked, especially greens, but now colours look much remarkably better.

Was particularly annoying when I was setting up different phones for some family members over the past week, then going back to the OP3 just made it seem even worse.

Is it just me or are thinks slightly more yellow-ish with sRGB enabled?

Good to see the raw dump of modem data error files went to good use and they fixed my network search error problem on three.

Really interested in this phone, great reviews so far and a sweet price point!

2 questions before I bite the bullet:

- Anyone else on 3? Saw a poster just there saying he's having problems with the phone and his 3 sim card.

- Buying the phone from the oneplus website, has anyone else been hit by customs or is it shipped via Europe?

Lucas Hood

The phones are shipped from Europe no customs to be paid.

I'm on 3, using it as the only sim in the phone. It wasn't connecting too well to the network at all around here in Monaghan on day 1, but since then I've been getting better reception, along with less frequent drop-outs while travelling, compared to my previous phone, a Moto G3. Holding 4G signal quite well inside the house too.

I got one for the Mrs. On Three. Reception isn't any better or worse than on the HTC One M7. Out in the sticks, choice of 2G or 3G national roaming.

No charges, shipped from Europe.

Thanks, lads!
Now to wait for payday and get me one of them!

My Note 3 is still performing as well as ever, but you know, sometimes you just need a new toy!

Lads just an FYI three are an absolutely rubbish network even worse with the o2 merger.

Anytime I hear phone complaints with three it's their poxy network. I actually don't know anyone that doesn't have data problems periodically or very frequently on them.

Anyone here buy a tempered glass screen protector? from where?

Looking to buy one soon, but can find any decent ones on Amazon and the OnePlus one doesn't look great (see pic) (+someone was saying its not thick enough). Id prefer not to buy from Ebay.

digitaldr

Just ordered an Orzly tempered glass screen protector on Amazon - it curves to fit the 2.5d edge. Had one for my OPO and loved it - probably smoother than the original! Would be a bit concerned that it could obscure the tiny capacitive key lights if alignment isn't spot on.
