Once the camera is not important to you then it's a great phone. I love the phone but the camera is pretty awful if I am honest. Detail in the shots is terrible. Worse than I thought it would be.

You sure you haven't messed up the settings or something? I took this without adjusting any settings (just to see what the camera was like) and I don't see any issue with the detail in the shot.

Does anyone know how to turn on wifi calling on the OP5?

If by "WiFi" you mean VOIP calling then click on Phone (the original phone app) -> Menu -> Settings -> Call Settings -> SIP Settings.

Is that what you mean?

If not you can set up VOIP calling using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.media5corp.m5f.Media5fone.Mps&hl=en

Have to say I'm very impressed with it pics are much better than my xperia z3 which I always thought was pretty decent and in it's day was considered one of the better camera phones.

Very impressed with phone very slick and very quick seems impossibly thin.

Little less impressed with customer service was trying to get a referral €20 discount at the time I ordered but they're servers were busy at time and I couldn't get it. Went ahead and ordered as I was afraid the phone would go out of stock. Annoyed I couldn't get a case and screen protector but saw flip case was still in available so chanced that. In my rush though I didn't spot it was a 3T case actually ok as my wife needed a new one anyway.

Annoying then though that the case and screen protectors were back in stock next day and I now had the referral code I could use. I should have just cancelled my original order and reordered. Emailed thinking they'd at least refund me a voucher amount or issue one against purchasing just there accessories. Really not satisfied with their responses. Several emails most quite dismissive in the way they were written first two said the referral voucher was not valid against my purchase. Most were saying I'd have to buy another phone to get the discount of the accessories.

Last email was better but still only solution was for me to send back phone and I could use voucher on new order! I'd threatened this but not really an option as I'm away on holidays soon. It's only €20 but I'll have to pay another €20 on top for express delivery now to get a case before holidays. Really didn't think they refuse point blank to refund it or issue another one against just accessories.

Anyone else come across this yet?...

Sky probably don't recognise the device, as it's brand new and they haven't gotten the opportunity to "test" it for use on their service yet.

You'll be waiting until they approve it for use on their service, I'm afraid

1 odd thing I've noticed is that I have a spare changer in work.
It's a 2.0amp output charger, that I've used throughout the years to charge all types of things.
Last year when I got the OP3, I got a spare usb c cable online and it charged the OP3 with no issues.
It is not charging the OP5 at all!

Has anyone esle tried to charge with a "low power" charger, getting a better result?

Have a 2amp car charger and a anker typeC cable and it worked fine added about 10% in a bit over 10 minutes

Old 1.5 amp sony charger works fine with oneplus cable. I'll try later with micro sd cable and anker micro to type c adaptor

I'm on meteor and they use Eir Wifi calling on certain plans, one of which I'm on.
It's not Voip as such...

The Meteor website states that you have to "have a compatible device purchased directly from Meteor" in order to use eir WiFi calling. See http://support.meteor.ie/eir-wifi-calling?t=more

Perhaps Meteor load some sort of locked down VOIP app onto the phones they sell which facilitates the eir WiFi Calling feature?

At this stage a number of you have received your Oneplus 5, what's the verdict?

I'm a long time iPhone user and debating taking the plunge from a 6S to try out the near stock Android experience on the 1+5. What do you reckon, worth the money, or better waiting to see what others offer over the coming months?

Really happy with it. But there is a but this year.

OP5 is more expensive and getting very close of U11, S8, LG6...there is a lot of flagships around the OP5 asked price.
Very fast experience out of the box and the huge comunity of custom roms, kernels are the main advantages of the OP5 over the other flagships in my opinion.

Thanks for that! I'm leaning toward getting one, the nerd in me wants to take a break from iOS and give Android a spin.

Is it worth buying the screen protector, or is the pre-applied protector enough?
Does anyone have a referral code they'd like to send on so they can gain points and I can get an almost free case?

She got a 3 just before it was discontinued and she's very happy except for one minor issue of no timed profiles.

I love my new OP5 and as it happens the only single complaint I have is that I can't find a timed Do Not Disturb profile option in settings. I assumed it was removed as the phone has a manual slider you can set to Do Not Disturb but maybe I just didn't look correctly in settings? Can you steer me towards the timed profile if you've found it?
