That doesn't inspire confidence!

DHL tracking shows mine as shipped from East Midlands to Shannon on Saturday but no mention atall of its arrival in Shannon.

Will see what happens tomorrow.

Oneplus 3 delivered by courier at 14:15 on 27.09. I ordered on Thurs 22.09 at 23:55. Nice device.

Ordered mine (Soft Gold) on Monday 26th. Website telling me estimated dispatch is October 4th and delivery is 11th. Really hoping it'll be dispatched sooner as my birthday is October 5th, family celebration is on the 8th and then celebration with friends is the week after. Hoping for a bit of luck.

I ordered mine on 24/9 and the estimated dispatch and delivery are 4/10 and 10/10. Also for gold. Here's hoping we get a bit of luck and they arrive quicker!

Got mine there yesterday. Fairly happy with it overall except the camera which seems crap. The slightest movement of the subject your are trying to capture and its a blurry mess. Even when your subject isn't moving it seems you need to hold your hand really still.

Couple of things I've noticed so far. Every now and then when I go to unlock it fingerprint won't work and I have to use pin. It's not that my fingerprint is not being recognised because I'm just not seeing the little fingerprint icon that indicates you can use your fingerprint to unlock? See screenshot attached.

Also tesla unread count with nova launcher seems really hit or miss, in particular with whatsapp where I rely on it most. This has worked really well with my last few phones. Maybe it's a known issue?

fingerprint unlock won't work unless you use the power button to lock your device. if you are using the double tap to lock the screen it will still ask for you pin. it's also happening for other phones out there due to the marshmallow security update

I use double tap on the home button to lock and my fingerprint sensor works every time. I have a pattern unlock set up instead of a pin, maybe that's why? Anyways I'm loving the phone so far, Dash charging blows my mind, it completely changed the way I charge my phone, ~64% of battery in 30 min is unreal.

Okay I think I've figured it out. I have Nova launcher and the screen off and lock app. So when I put the phone to sleep by double tapping the next time I go to unlock it it forces me to use pin. Strange one. I'll just have to disable it for now and contact the dev

Your delivery date is just a day before mine! I have a feeling it definitely will be dispatched on the 4th but now an earlier delivery date is what we're all hoping for. No idea why I didn't order sooner!

Lads, can't seem to merge calls as in conference call, any idea why

Thinking of getting this phone (If it's in stock) Any advice before I buy? I saw some people on about problems with the cases etc

No problem with cases. Its the Orzly full coverage screen protector that causes issues with cases (it lifts)

Wow that was quick! Was was your estimated delivery date?

I've had an iPhone for 10 years and just switched to the one plus. Really enjoying it. Great specs at half the price. The iPhone 7 wasn't much of an upgrade. The Samsung s7 edge looks nice but serious bucks. So far so good. No complaints. Well worth the money.

I've been using my phone a few days now and I really like it so far. It's quite big compared to my previous (older) phone but I'll get used to it.

One question though, I can't seem to figure out vibration! I've googled it and it seems others have this problem. Basically, I want to be able to have my phone on loud, have it on silent on vibrate, and have it on silent with no vibrate. For some reason I just can't get this figured out? I downloaded 'notification slider' app that I saw online but I'm not having much luck... any advice?

Mr Arrior

Anyone suggest the best way to protect the OnePlus 3 from damage like falls (Best cases etc) Ideally one that's not a flip case.

Otterbox.

Drop your phone in an Otterbox on tiles and youll need to replace the tiles :pac:

The estimated shipment date on my order confirmation dated 22nd was 30.09. It didn't give an estimated delivery date or where the shipment would originate but I assumed Poland.

Oneplus emailed the following day (23rd) to say order had been dispatched.
DHL texted me on 24th to say delivery would be on 27th.

DHL tracking indicated that the order originated at Heathrow.

Seems I just got lucky. Maybe they had the phone in stock due to a cancelled order or something - I don't know but am very happy about it!

I sincerely apologise if this is a stupid question but on my order it says: "OnePlus 3 Soft Gold (UK)" Still saying estimated dispatch is October 4th and estimated delivery is October 11th. Does the UK part means it's coming from the UK? (I'm in Ireland - Dublin)
Thank you in advance!

Hi folks
I got a S7 edge about 3 weeks ago. Over the weekend it slipped from my hand, knocked off my foot and ended up on the ground. I thought my foot breaking the fall would be enough to save it but sadly no, cracked on the edge of the screen and of course I've no insurance or anything.

Now I'm thinking of putting the phone up for sale as damaged on adverts.ie and switching to One Plus 3.

I see the shipment time is around 4 weeks for the black one through the site. Is this actually 4 weeks, or is it more/less?

Thanks

I'm currently running a Lenovo zuk Z1 and I'm a trip or spill away from killing it (it's been incredibly forgiving thus far for drops and stuff)
I have always heard good things about the oneplus phones. So I was wondering is the 3 worth going to? And is it easy to get covers and stuff like that?

I upgraded from the zuk z1 well worth the upgrade.

Do they email you a tracking number. My phone was suppose to be shipped today, still yet to hear anything

NikoTopps

Phone has been shipped! And a day earlier than estimated too which is good.

Anyone here who went the ParcelMotel route, how long was it from the dispatch stage to when ye actually had the phone in your hand?

There's no tracking number in the email anyway. Not sure what to use for checking via DHL.

The OP3 in Soft Gold now ships immediately!

There should be a DHL reference number at the bottom of your Shipment email

It simply says this.
