Yep, even though it asks me to update once a day.

Thought so, seems to be still the best rated version.

I recently reinstalled 33r manually after trying a custom ROM and eventually settled on 38r, I found with 44s I kept losing signal and had to reboot to get it back.

I'm on 44S and haven't noticed any problems, mobile data on 24/7 with some relatively heavy usage today and I'm at 45%

wotzgoingon · 09-12-2014 01:11AM

I'm on 44S and never had any problems. I always update manually to latest version once released and have never had any problems with any version except one reboot but I think that was the app popcorn time as it was downloading a movie for me when it happened.

I find 44s absolutely fine for daily use. The lock ups of 38R are gone and Chrome crashes maybe once every few days when playing embedded videos or the like. Very stable. Still the kernel needs work. The default Balanced profile, scales down the CPU too aggressively, causing jumpy framerates in games & noticeable stuttering in the UI. I'm tempted to create a customized profile based on the performance setting, but I shouldn't have to!

I still fully reboot my phone every 2 or 3 days just as a precaution, to ensure no niggling problems creep back in. But I'm not sure it's necessary now.

Yeah I haven't looked into flashing a custom kernel on this phone yet, but I was running franco quite happily on my N4

adr_sullivan · 09-12-2014 02:17PM

hi folks,

does anyone have an address that I can return the phone to. the phone will not pick up my sim card (either nano or micro)

really hope that it is not going to be too much grief but the signs are not good. I logged a ticket with them on Saturday that the case I ordered was not in the package and there has been no reply from them as of yet.

thanks,

PeeDawg · 09-12-2014 02:37PM

I had the same issue when I got nine first. In network settings it was set to 4G(reccommended),

Switch it to 3G and you should start to pick up signal.

FYI I am on meteor with a micro sim.

Hope this works!

PeeDawg · 09-12-2014 02:40PM

And I am picking up H+ which is like 3.5G if I am not mistaken.

Might sound silly but make sure you've the sim in the right way.

not silly at all - but the sim only fits in one way.

tried it myself and someone from the 3 store tried as well

really frustrating, have to get a new sim to put into my old phone, so will be without any phone for at least another day

The tray will go in either way. I've done it myself before.

Hi all,

I've been on 44S since it was released and the phone has been performing flawlessly until yesterday when I was surprised to see my battery at 30% around lunchtime when I usually expect to see it around 70%.

I looked at the battery consumption at 12:15 today (six hours after a full charge with modest use) and it was down to 39% with Android OS using 26% which I know is high.

Anyone got any ideas as to what might be causing it? I can't recall installing any new apps in the last few days.

Thargor · 09-12-2014 02:55PM

You should get a new sim for the Oneplus aswell and try that.

I'm on meteor and haven't had any issues . getting lte most of the time if not I get H+

xtal191 · 09-12-2014 03:03PM

Thinking of moving to 3, what kinda speeds do people here get off 4g with the oneplus one?

Now that I think of it I don't have a 4G plan. Have a pretty good payg plan that the girl in the meteor store said I should stick with because if you are getting pretty good H+ then there is not much of a need for 4G.

What do you think of 4G? Is it that good?

Thargor · 09-12-2014 03:10PM

Three 4G is very good alright, laptop tethered to my phone at the parents the other night was indistinguishable from my UPC connection in dublin, instant Youtube etc, then again I wouldnt pay anything extra for it if they take it away, H+ very good also.

I have tested 4g on 3 in Galway on the OPO, with 2 bars I got 30mb, I've tested it other times and not gotten as much, but its fast

Blade · 09-12-2014 05:28PM

North Co. Dublin on Three's 4g

Thargor · 09-12-2014 05:39PM

Thats mad, Ill probably never sign up to UPC again when I move houses, another few years we should all have crazy speeds for a tenner a month.

An app update maybe instead has caused it?

Yeah seems to be hot and miss with issues it seems, on older versions lads complained of issues and I never had them so I dunno :P

Glad I never updated and still on 25R, according to battery monitor I still only have an idle drain of around -7 mah.

@Ben, AFAIK there's an app that'll tell you how much juice each running app is using, you should be able to find the culprit with that. Not sure what the app is called, doesn't seem to be a feature in battery monitor widget.

basillarkin · 09-12-2014 08:42PM

Still no update on my order, I ordered a week ago.

JonnyM · 09-12-2014 08:51PM

Ive sent a mp3 file by bluetooth to my phone from laptop and im looking to use it as a ringtone. The file is in 'my drive' at the moment how to i get it into ringtones??

jozi · 09-12-2014 10:29PM

You will have to download a file browser like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en

When you go change the ring tine click the file browser option instead of the media explorer and then navigate to where ever the file is stored

Thanks for the reply. Done it with file manager in the end.
