    I bought the phone primarily for the camera and to use the gps in the car. Camera is pretty good and have taken some decent shots with it so far.

    Have not have a chance yet to do anything with gps

    Phone is very high quality and fluid. Dont think it is overly big as some were commenting.

    I'll use it more and see how it goes. Happy so far. Battery life very good

    The camera really is superb. Its interesting to be able to save the raw files and be able to see the difference in what you normally get. The amount of settings etc you can play with is unreal! The battery too really is superb can't remember the last time i had a phone that didn't need to be charged nightly!!

    I got lucky and managed to pick one of these up on adverts yesterday(other gut had it a week), really impressed the quality of everything has blown me away. Any suggestions for things I should do as a new owner? I'm fairly tech savvy although its ages since I rooted anything!

    My fixed Oneplus one arrived in the parcel motel up the north yesterday at 12pm. How long does it usually take to get down south? I live in Kerry so Tralee is my destination.

    Mine arrived in Dublin first thing in the morning the day after I got the email from them so it shouldn't be long.

    I doubt anyone is going to have used them all and be able to compare. I use eMobile in Dublin and it works great. I think if you are outside of Dublin you are going to need to look into the coverage more as its not great outside the main population areas with any network I don't think.

    From what I've read Vodafone doesn't work on 4G as although they could use one of the opo supported bands they haven't to date.

    Cyanogenmod has so many features that I haven't felt the need to root.

    This is what I had in my head, It does work on the three network, does it not.
    Has anyone any experience with this. i am out of contract this week and I am looking to get the best out of the phone.

    According to the Vodafone rep on another thread the OPO works on Vodafone 4G:

    I can't post a URL but if you search for "one plus one compatibility" on boards it's the first result.

    Yes our network should work with this device on all the frequencies mentioned, including 4g. However, we cannot provide full support if there are any issues here as the phone was not purchased from a Vodafone Ireland store,

    Thanks,

    Oh I am having great fun with NFC tags, and this phone. Anyone else using them?

    I've got one in the car to turn on bluetooth and maps. One by the front door to turn up ringtone volumes (turns them down again on the way out). One at my desk at work to silence everything and divert to work phone.

    And, one by the cooker, to send a text when dinner is ready. *chuckle*

    I've started getting an issue where the coverage drops and I need to reboot to get a signal back.

    Mother and sister on same network and have no problems.

    Anyone else getting it?

    does the phone have to be unlocked for them to read in as thats the default on stock android.

    What NFC tags are you using and what NFC programming app? It's something I'm interested in playing around with.

    I'm using some old tags i got ages ago, not sure where they came from, but they are bog standard cheapo ones.

    I'm using tagstand writer, trigger and tasker (tasker is the only paid one, you don't need it, it's pretty funky though with what you can configure.).

    When the phone is in my pocket it constantly tries to unlock and hits the emergency dialler. For some reason it only started happening yesterday is there a setting I can change to stop it being so responsive or anything? It had been fine up until now.

    Just got a chinese version today, love it so far.

    Idiot question time now though, is there any danger of me plugging my 0.7A Samsung charger into the phone until I get an adapter at lunch time? Don't want to be blowing it up on my first day :pac:

    And does any adapter work?

    Or actually, can I just buy any 2.1A charger and use it? See the blackberry playbook ones recommended earlier in thread

    It should be alright, as when it is plugged into a usb socket on computer there is less current than 1 Amp being drawn. Will take longer to charge though.

    For fast charging I'd recommend the blackberry one. , 0.7 amp one should work ok but it'll be slow. AFAIK the phone will only draw the current it needs so using a charger > 2.1 amp should be fine, lower rating one just means slower charging.

    There's loads of good themes for it, some are paid for on the play store but I've found that often there's a free xda version.

    I've noticed mine dialing on the emergency keypad when listening to music, haven't noticed it any other time

    Use/enable privacy mode in settings, it restricts default app permissions on install

    Not really an Cyanognen must do but I can say that perfectly clear is amazing. if you need to take a load of burst shots * 250 * then its worth it for it. It is a premium app though I managed to wangle it, I think using my amazon coins. I could have just bought it though.
