Anyone know if it's still possible to use referral codes to buy accessories or were they only available for a limited time? And if so does anyone have one available? Feel free to pm me if so.

Can anyone tell me what the black line between the sim card tray and charging port on the 7T Pro is all about?

Antenna bands. As it is all metal so signal won't go through.

Anyone recommend a good tempered glass protector? Preferably with a full adhesive and not just around the edges

I have a car dash charger and charger for the one plus 5.

Would any of these work for the one plus 7 models?

Also anyone installed gcam on phone

The OP5 chargers will work fine with the 7 but won't deliver the uber fast "warp" speed charging the 7T charger does.

Can't comment on Gcam, don't use it.

Are you running a VPN in the background e.g. the Blokada advert blocking app or are you connected to a 5Ghz WiFi network before it happens to you by any chance?

I think it's one of those two that are the culprit for me.

I'm going to uninstall Blokada and see if that fixes it. If not I'm going to remove my 5Ghz WiFi connection (which I use at home as pretty much all other devices in the house use the 2.4Ghz network from my dual band router) and see if that fixes it.

I'll report back one way or the other.

Looks like Blokada was the culprit. Uninstalled it, rebooted the phone and haven't had any problems switching from WiFi (including 5Ghz) to mobile data.

Now in the market for a new add blocking solution :-(

Anyone reckon that there would be any deals either with three or online one plus store for black Friday?

Not sure if to purchase now or hold on.

Not tried the below for ad blocker on phone use it on parents

I disabled blockada also as some web pages wouldn't load for me when it was enabled.

I use Samsung internet browser on my 7t Pro. You can use an ad blocker on it. Works beautifully. I've used Samsung browser for years..

I have blockada and no problems with connecting from WiFi to Data.

They will deliver 20w Dash Charging though, which is pretty good.

Having some issues with mine. Maybe it was the recent update but apps keep crashing and phone isn't as responsive when I go to press buttons. Anyone else having these sort of issues. Pretty disappointing really as I never had anything like this happen on the one plus 5.

A problem for me too. An app will go unresponsive and I have to use app drawer or home to exit and get it working again. :rolleyes:

Great phone but jesus, more bugs than any phone I've owned before.

wotzgoingon

They used to have great stable software. Problem now I see is they have so many different phones and models. With bringing out standard phone plus a T version and a special edition each year.

They really need to increase their software division number to deal with extra devices. Then they also try to release the newest Android version nearly first so don't really bug check it enough.

Good to see I'm not the only one with the issues. Hopefully they can sort it out with next software update.

Really hard to see why anyone would pay for the expedited shipping with OnePlus. Ordered a 7T on Friday night. It was shipped yesterday and landed here today at 11.30 am.

May I ask, anyone know where I might get a few cheap (but working) USB to minijack adapters? Loads on AliExpress etc but do they work?

I bought an official one with the phone but I'm damned if I'm paying 8 quid each for a few more. Have multiple pairs of headphones about the house and would like to get a few spare adapters.

Not having a go, but it amazes me that people have no problem dropping hundreds of euro on a phone, then ask as to where to buy cheap accessories for even cheaper!

You're having a go!

I think 8 quid is overpriced for what it is. Besides I have about 5 pairs of Xiaomi headphones in various coat-pockets that cost me €2.50 each that I use when I throw on a coat to go out to walk the dog. Having to search for the original Oneplus adapter would be an inconvenience I could do without if I can get a few cheap adapters to leave attached to headphones to use to listen to podcasts while out for a wander.

Not having a go but has it occurred to you that other people's lives and requirements are different to yours? :P

You can get the Nebula Blue 8GB & 256GB storage OP7 Pro direct from One Plus for €619 using the code 2019BF.

Edit: code works with all the OP7 Pro (not the T). The 6GB & 128GB drops to €599 so better value on the better specced option.

Just purchased a Grey 7 Pro 8GB/256GB with a Bumper case (+ they threw in a free nylon bumper case) for €650 delivered.

Total Black Friday discount was €173.

BIG Xmas present sorted!!

Think I'll get the blue later and finally upgrade from the OP5.

Ok was looking at the one plus 7t pro but the pro version will do me stepping up from a 5

On the delivery if I order today says delivery is 28th does it be usually sooner? Out of the country close to that date and don't want it to go elsewhere

Even the regular service has only taken 2-3 days for me in the past but who knows the Black Friday volumes etc they have to process. I'd say you'll be fine but if concerned why not send to a Parcel Motel which will give you another 48 hours to pick up if you're away and even if you are you can then get someone your trust to go pick it up for you?

Alternatively, just ship it to me, I can be trusted, honest guv!

They delivered to me in 2 days. I can't fault them. That was without paying extra for faster delivery.

I ordered on a Monday lunchtime a few weeks ago, and it had arrived by the time I got to work Wednesday Morning. Went for the normal delivery, not express.

Currently have a pocofone

Would the 7 be much of an upgrade?
