Apologies for asking such a patronising question,( but people's definition of backed up can be where they physically connect their phone to a pc and transfer files.), you did go to a pc and open photos.google.com, sheets.google.com and docs.google.com - maybe something backed up in the background.

Alternatively, using a OTG cable, you could connect a USB-powered mouse to turn on backup, assuming you have some visibility on the cracked screen.

Unfortunately not! If only it were that easy! My own fault, I knew I needed to back it all up, just didn't make the time. Won't be making that mistake again!!

Visibility now completely gone on the screen.. It was slowly ebbing away yesterday.

I-Electron have given me a quote of €219 to repair it, including collection. Does anyone know if they're reputable?

Well, i just shipped them a damaged Nintendo 3DS XL during the week. They seem very professional to be fair.

I've update to 4.0.1 yesterday and it's still doing it. I'm dropping out on other routers too. Happens when connecting to both 2.4GHz router (mine) and dual band 2.4/5 GHz routers and I'm connecting to the 5GHz antenna. The only thing I haven't done is a factory reset.

After every major OS update it is recommended to do a factory reset.

3T reduced on Gearbest at the moment. Not a huge reduction but down to €407.54.

They say it's a 49% discount :rolleyes:

Just be aware they will be shipping from China. If it gets stuck in customs, it will end up costing more.

Anyone having battery issue with Facebook and Messenger apps:

When ye get a whatsapp and dont open it, does the whatsapp icon have a number in a red circle to show theres still unread messages in whatsapp?

When I get a whatsapp, it only shows on the notification bar, but the whatsapp app icon stays normal

No, that's never been available on the stock Android launcher. You can get that behaviour by using Nova Launcher combined with Tesla Unread

Just placed an order for the 128Gb. fingers crossed it shows up

Any more info on the battery drainage issue? I haven't uninstalled Facebook/Messenger but they haven't been using a lot of battery either (2% or so). It does still feel like the battery isn't lasting as long as it should though.

Facebbok acknowledged it was a server side issue.

Pre-installed is just a plain plastic. It will offer some resistance for scratches, nothing else. I have left it as it is till it comes off my itself. I may think to put something after that or leave it as it is.

same with me. keeping it on for now. got the OP screen protector as well and have that sitting on a shelf until the factory protector comes off.

I thought my battery wasn't doing very well some time between deleting FB and yesterday. I charged to 100% yesterday and decided to see what I'll get. 7 hours of screen on time before sticking it back on a charger somewhere between 15 and 20%. So my problems were entirely in my head because that's good going.

Got my Oneplus 3T last week, very happy with the phone so far and thanks to those who answered my questions back in the tread. Anyway, here's another one, what's the view on taking off the plastic screen cover? I've the Orzly tempered glass cover but it seems to get mixed reviews and maybe best to leave pre installed cover on? I'm using a Spigen Rugged Armour cover but they should fit together.

I took mine off to fit a tempered screen and I instantly regretted it. The factory fit was perfect, I fecked up my attempt despite taking extra care. I replaced it twice more before I got it to a stage wher I can live with and even at hat it's not perfect as there are two tiny little air bubbles under it. I also did the same for another OP phone in the house and that took me two attempts, plus I did one for my brother but managed somehow to get that in one attempt.
My advice, leave well enough alone unless it starts to deteriorate or you're at high risk of damaging the screen and need a tempered glass protector.
