Anyone encountered issues with calls being dropped. Basically during a call the other caller can't hear me but I can hear them.
Is it just me

Not had that many calls but did have one ten minute one and didn't have any problems with it and the other short ones have been ok too

Still an issue for me. I've seen it with other users too so not alone it seems

So the OnePlus 8 Pro may have found a new niche market!

I have issue where calls can become garbled after 30s or so (Pro). Is pretty irritating, never happens when I call back.

Just trying to get an answer to my question from OnePlus myself

Basically trying to ask do the phones from their website come with the same chipset for frequencies across the board.

I.e a 5G phone sent to UK market will work with 5G in North America on different frequencies. E.g n78 vs n71 etc

I got this reply from them linking to the spec page from each region but I'm unsure of them giving their language barrier in support

Any ideas ?

I was looking at Amazon.de and there was a pro that listed all the regions but was confusing again by international phone with a different OS

Factory reset?

Free wireless bullets with the OnePlus 8 at the moment from the website direct

Mo note 10 camera is excellent, processor mid range, beautiful screen

Anyone find the Front camera to be of poor quality in low light and not great in regular light?

Also the shutter speed when using the front camera with flash is painfully slow.

BlackMask93 · 26-05-2020 10:48AM

Also does anyone know how to use the camera led as a notification led? Had a notification led on my Note 9 just wondering if something similar can be done for the OnePlus Pro

The wireless charger is now in stock. Just ordered one today.

Folks, anyone have the 8 Pro? About to pull the trigger on a 7T Pro and wondering should I man-up and splash out the extra €150 for the 8 Pro :pac:

Check the website just after 10am tomorrow. Something about a flash sale

I had the 7t pro and now have the 8 Pro. Not a massive difference but if it's not much extra for the 8 pro tomorrow, I would definitely recommend it.

Behind you Joey · 28-05-2020 11:55AM

Checked the website there. It seems to advertise that the glacial green will be available for €919 as the 128GB model for the first time. However, that's not available on the website and to make matters worse both colours are sold out. I don't understand how they don't have stock in reserve ready to go. Perhaps COVID-19 had an adverse effect on their manufacturing plant.

Future proofing yourself with 5G is another reason to get the 8Pro

I was reading on the OneP forums that it isn't...the amount of people worldwide who can't connect to a 5G network is very high...seems OneP are locking some bands at the moment

I'm looking at getting the 8 from eglobal. Anyone any experience buying from them? Much cheaper, currently at €530 for base model. Most websites (including Chinese OnePlus official page) state the Chinese version supports n78 (so should cover 5g Vodafone here) but eglobal doesn't state n78! This is the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger at the minute. Anyone know if it's just an oversight by eglobal? Sent them a mail but nothing back yet

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a reply from them. I ordered a 7T from them over 2 weeks ago and they never responded to any of my contacts since.

I got mine today from them, ordered from them on 07/05, it got to Belgium DPD on monday, then arrived in Athlone Wed, no progress then until I woke up this morning and saw out for delivery. At the moment I'm transferring all my stuff from my other phone on to it using the oneplus app, so I havent had much time to play with it yet, Haven't established what 5g bands are on it, and I only have a prepaid voda sim, which probably isn't 5G enabled anyway.

Nice looking phone though, and GMS and all the android pay stuff works perfect(first thing I tried out).

Got the wireless charger Friday. It's great. Has a little fan to keep it cool. It's goes quite overnight so as not to make noise. Charges a bit slower so doesn't overheat.
During day, you can hear the fan going. Phone sits very nicely onto charger and it looks great.

Got to try out the camera at sunset and sunrise last night and this morning around the Curragh. Photos are really stunning.

Anyone noticed that if you leave the phone in direct sunlight for a short period, you get a warning saying phone is too hot and brightness and other functions will be limited until phone cools. Usually returns to normal after a few mins

There are a lot of phones doing this last few days, different makes, Samsung etc.

Just the outside temps and lots of processes running heat up any phone

Yeah my iPhone could hardly be seen outside on full brightness (no warning though oddly enough). Had to cool it down before it would actually brighten again. I’d say everyone’s phones are baking this weather.

7T Pro reduced to €639 on official website today, which makes the difference between that and the 8 Pro - €280. I think that has made my mind up.

I can't see how long you have to stay with Three if you buy it on prepay for this price. Anyone know?

I'm with 3 anyway, so will be getting this...cant justify paying OnePlus another 350 for the 8 Pro
I'm not even sure if the phone is locked to 3? ..
Buyy the last time I bought a high-end phone from them it was 18 months

Thanks,would love to know. Surely at this price it is locked for a similar period.
