Is anyone else having an issue with the music playback buttons on the lockscreen? Mine are not working at all & have to unlock the phone to play/pause/skip music playing.

.....One niggle so far - has anyone experienced problems with a weak wifi signal - I am definitely down a bar at home compared to my trusty Nexus 4? I did a search as it has been an issue for some people since release, hopefully the next update to CM12 will fix this.

I found the opposite. Using Wifi Analyser my signal improved from -72db to -54db moving from N4 to OPO. Rarely use BLuetooth so normally switched off and both phones set to 2.4ghz only.

However, I suspect I may have had one of the N4s with the dodgy Wifi but it was a good enuff signal for me.

Checked with vodafone or on the phone itself? Any usage from whatsapp should show up under the data usage in settings though.

on the phone, it seems like something ate into the remaining 3.5gb of data and it was using my credit then to roam, im assuming vodafone themselves could tell me what happened?

from what i can see it seems like when i put my sim in the opo it never recognised that i still had 3gb of data left, used it today which charged 2 euro for 100mb, passed that then charged 1 euro for ever mb so that drained the rest all i can do is ring vf tomorrow and see what they say, whats the chances of getting my credit back?

Haven't used webtexts apps in years. Whatsapp & Viber made them redundant imo.

Same for me also. Don't think there is a way around it.

Have you checked that you have the correct APN settings? IIRC Vodafone have two settings, maybe you're on the wrong one for the PAYG?

If your OPO is rooted see http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=93386675&postcount=1300

Appears to work.

Hi lads, Just got my OPO recently and had a few questions.

1. Have there been issues with the USB adapter? I tired to charge my phone with it, no luck. Then I switched to an old HTC adapter and had no issues.

2. Are there any decent anti-theft apps out there, would be a shame if I lost it.(always have data on if this counts)

3. Any way to change the screen DPI without rooting the phone?

Thanks!

Google play services using 20 percent of battery. Any ideas latest official update.

I wonder has everyone here complaining about battery done this:

Settings > Privacy > Privacy Guard > 3 dots in the top right > Show built in Apps > Long Press on Google Play services then change Allowed to Deny on the Wake Up and Keep Awake entries. Then Reboot.

Ive basically restored my battery performance to the way it was on 25R with the latest OTA update by doing that, standby lasts for days again and I wont bother reverting now.

See above.

Actually it could be a dodgy app hiding behind Android system, I had a golf game doing that to me before even though Id never even played it, I only realised it was the golf app when I woke up one morning and had a message from it saying it couldnt access the network, uninstalled and it fixed it straight away.

I'd be doing well to get 4 hours screen time. Screen wouldn't be too bright and I don't have Bluetooth GPS etc turned on.

Any idea how I might go figuring out the app that's causing it?

If it was me I'd do a full factory reset and add in apps slowly over a couple [ of days to isolate and identify them rogue apps. Just make sure to read up on implications and back up all photos/files on device elsewhere before full reset. Also worth going on a rutuless app cull. Do you need all thse apps., just because you downloaded them 5 years back doesn't mean you still use/need them all. Keep them in your app library/collection And do a quick install should you need them again. Vanilla kit kat and lollipop now also include several features which in the past needed special separate add-on apps. No point duplication and consuming battery.

Has anyone much experience playing around with paranoid androids past work?
Anyone one done the above playing around with CM12 night lies and care to compare to existing default CM on OPO. My understanding is well get the CM12 OTA similar to how we've received CM11update but if we want the new Oxygen OS it will require a side load.

CM12s is a lollipop upgrade. Will Oxygen be based on the same?

Looks like some people here are having battery life well below the excellent 24-36 hours I get. Check whether its the constant roaming between 3g on Three, constantly searching for a better signal will kill battery life. And try a few days without Facebook app and what's app and see if it improves things as they're constantly culprits on numerous devices.

You're using the wrong access point. I did the same thing. Change it from isp.vodafone to live.vodafone

When I looked into it before christmas I was told by several providers they couldn't/wouldn't insure it as it was available to the Irish market so sourcing a replacement would be too much work for them.

Now that it's available to purchase in Ireland I wonder if they will revise this?
