Hi

Is there any update on when we can expect to receive the Android L update?

Also, my I use earphones a lot which don't have a microphone.when I accept a call, I can hear the other person but they can't hear me. It seems as though the microphone on the phone itself gets disabled as soon as any type of earphones are plugged in

I have been unable to find a solution. Has anyone else had the same issue and found a solution?

Thanks

Mine woks perfect with headphone on and I can still talk to the person. You must have headphones with a speaker in them, which were most likely designed for iphones. It works perfect with normal headphones.

I was thinking of getting one of the official covers, this one maybe - https://oneplus.net/uk/oneplus-one-flip-cover
Anyone got this? Few quid off all the accessories at the moment too.

I had the clear case one that I got with the phone and honestly is crap, a bad fit and creaky.
I got the flip case and it's much better. Hopefully will last!

Hey guys,

Having a problem with my new OnePlus One.

Everytime I turn on bluetooth and Wifi the speed totally dies. Have you experienced this? Can you fix this?

I have an LG G Watch and this is kind of a dealbreaker for me.

Known issue with 2.4Ghz band WiFi when Bluetooth on. If you have a dual band router at home/work use the 5Ghz band.

Try this!

So if I'm on an older or public wifi, I'll probably run into this?

Yep, 100%. 2.4Ghz Wifi and Bluetooth don't play nice together on the OPO for some reason and it's a known issue. Not sure if future FW updates will fix it. Hopefully.

What FW version are you on?

For a phone that's been out for a few months, that's really bad.

I'm nearly sure other top end phones suffer the same issue

That's the latest FW allright (44S) so I guess if it's going to be fixed it will have to be in a future update.

Might not hold on til then. For a phone that's been out for months and after researching this problem has been there from the start. I have an Android Wear watch so this kills its usability.

Going to opt for a Sony Xperia Z3. Thanks for your help guys!

It almost certainly won't be fixed. It's a hardware issue. Bluetooth also operates on 2.4ghz so can interfere with Wi-Fi &vice versa. How other manufacturers deal with it I don't know, but it's not unique to the Oneplus One. I've used numerous devices over the years that suffered from this problem.

It can't be 'this' bad?

Without Bluetooth - 36Mbps download
With - 0.7 Mbps

Anyway of buying the white back cover. Would love it but I have the sandstone one

wotzgoingon · 22-12-2014 01:03AM

There is one way of fixing your wifi/ bluetooth problem. Switch wifi to 5GHz frequency in settings. That way both bluetooth and wifi are not on the same 2.4 Ghz frequency. Also you will need to change your router to use the 5GHz frequency if it is able to do so. If your router is fairly new and a good one it can deffo do it. If it a cheap old one then I highly doubt it has the 5GHz frequency range.

Jomcc · 22-12-2014 01:16AM

Is this the same fault that's causing my Bluetooth the "quiver" when connected to handsfree kit? A few seconds after answering a call, the caller's voice quivers for perhaps 3 or 4 seconds. Seemingly my voice does the same. Comes back fine and then repeats after minute or so.
Also won't connect to car kit in Van. Very same car kit in car works fine.

Somehow managed to activate password reqyiremenr for waking the phone - how do I get rid of this?

Go into the settings, lock screen and change it to swipe. You'll be asked to enter the password first though.

Hi

When I plug in headphones, my oneplus one seems to disable the phones mic. Therefore, when I call people with the headphones plugged in, they can not hear me.

Is there any setting or way that I can ensure that the phones mic remains active when headphones are plugged in so that it can be used during calls?

Thanks in advance

Some one else asked this recently and I said the same thing. What type of headphones are you using?

theroomisonfire · 24-12-2014 02:03AM

I use a set of logitech UE headphones as well as a fairly basic set of JVC in ear earphones. None of which have built in microphones but for some reason the phone seems to switch off the phone mic when they're plugged in

Just noticed this yesterday for the first time.. Tried to answer the phone while an AUX cable was plugged in

Should text messaging etc work straight away after unboxing? (After inserting the sim, obviously)

It should. But did you put in your APN settings. That is normally used for internet but it may be used for sms as well(don't actually know as I always put in my APN settings first after I get a new phone.

Nope, I never did. How do I get my specific APN settings (I'm meteor billpay) and where do I type them in?

If anyone is looking for the different colour in the skin I bought the white one from amazon. Comes in a one plus one box and fits perfectly. Only difference is doesn't say cyanogen on the back and the writing at the bottom is Chinese. Was looking for the white one for ages. Delighted

AFAIK them settings above should work. I was never with meteor so i don't know.

Go to settings/ Mobile networks/ Access point names/ APNs and enter your details there.
