OnePlus 5

Phone now sold just waiting for money to show up in my bank account.
There's never a problem when giving someone your IBAN and BIC I assume?

I'd always use PayPal - bank transfer can take a while if the banks are different. Not sure about giving out iban/bic but the person you're buying off has excellent feedback to I reckon you'll be grand.

Lads, anyone after updating to 4.7.4 or 4.7.5 having battery drainage issues.
I'm afraid to take the chance as I am having the best battery life I have ever had on any phone and am delighted with it.
Over 10 hours OST on 4.7.2 :eek:

On 4.7.4 here, don't notice any difference in battery life

Keep hitting the home on screen button while typing...any solution apart from more accurate thumbs?

Yep same here, every time I use the keyboard I end up knocking into the background via home button.

Hey everyone, looking for some help or advice.

I've been having issues with mobile data on my Oneplus 5 for a few months now. When my connection is H+ the internet lags or slows to non existent speeds all the time. It lasts for a few minutes and normal speeds resume for a short time. Turning Aeroplane mode on and off again also "fixes" the issue but it literally lags again within a minute or two.
It's getting quite frustrating since I've recently moved home temporarily and there is no WiFi. I'll provide as much info below as I can.

Thanks in advance for any help.

•Carrier is Three and I'm using their provided APN settings.
•No issues when using 4G, internet works flawless 95% of the time.
•There's no pattern or consistency to the lagging (i.e may lag for 1 minute or 4 minutes.
•Switching Aeroplane mode on and off returns speeds to normal but it doesn't last too long
•Ive soft reset, factory reset and cleared cache many times but it doesn't help.
•Ive my network speed displayed and when it's lagging it shows speeds of less than 1.00 K/s
•My sim works perfectly fine in my old phone with no internet issues whatsoever in the same house.

Hoping someone has had similar issues and got a fix!

Sound like the cell tower you are connected to is overloaded/over subscribed, that's classic signs right there. When you connect you get priority but quickly get bumped down the list as all the others auto reconnect from low data speeds they are getting.

There is a tower near me that does this every few months and a call to three sorts it (whatever they do)...For a few months at a time. Rep said it's over subscribed.

The cells "breathe" depending on load. If there's low load then you've got more high-speed coverage (and better speeds). If there's high load then the premium-speed coverage area drops and you're left with lower-spec/speed coverage. In the case where many users are close to the tower then you're just dealing with contention. Keep reporting it to your network - they may eventually stick an extra cell nearby but don't hold your breath.

Thanks for the replies everone, not sure how to multi quote!

In regards to the cell tower, when I put my chip into my old phone (Galaxy A5) i have no issues with internet whatsoever and my mum who is also Three has no issues with her phone. I would use my old phone but the screen is badly damaged. Going to buy a Vodafone chip in the morning and get back with some results.

Ive also had the same issue with the internet connectivity on my one plus 5 since I got it in June. I am on meteor. I got a new SIM a few weeks after I got the phone to see if that helped, but it didn't. It's very frustrating. I live in rural area but never had an issue with my previous phone, Samsung S5. I always meant to get onto one plus support about it.

I reckon it's Meteor support you should be contacting, but neither will do any good. Change to Vodafone is my advise -if only as a trial. It's a bit more expensive, but the coverage is unrivalled.

Rumors that the Oneplus 6 will be out in March

Think I'll be sticking with the T models myself, at least that way the bugs and complaints are dealt with first. Being the Newest and having the latest doesnt mean as it use too, but best in class value is hard to say no too... my op3 was just fine (until I knackered the camera)

Can't comment if the camera has improved but the results I have gotten are better than my Nexus 6p (and i felt that was a pretty good camera). I have no complaints about the camera (or the phone in general).
It comes with a basic clear case in the box but if you are looking for a discount feel free to use this referral code that will give you €20 off accessories -

Order completed and should be delivered on the 29th , Thanks Ionised for the voucher!

Switching from one android to another seems easy, I followed the steps mentioned in this article: https://www.androidauthority.com/backup-android-phone-708622/.

Is there anything else that I should do (I don't need to back up SMS/MMS). Thanks!

Even easier is to save the back up to Google drive and you can select it straight from the cloud on the new phone.

Is the 128GB/8GB model worth the extra money? What cases would yous recommend? Cheers

The case that comes with the 5t isn't bad. I'm using it but have karbon bumper in the post office waiting to be collected. For the extra 50 euro the 128 is probably worth it. That being said I can't see the 64gb being a problem
