****y tech sites make up specs all the time for clicks.

Either way, even if it launches with HTC One M9 par specs and gives free shoulder massages it will be substantially more than €299 seeing as they are upping the price of the One to €299/349 tomorrow from €269/299 so it makes no odds to me.
I got the OPO for a bargain price I'm happy with that.

What are people using as a cover? I got the clear case with the phone from the official site but it is a bit slippy for my liking. Can anyone recommend something a bit grippier?

TheGunns · 24-03-2015 03:30PM

Just ordered one, hopefully here by Friday!

Same as above looking for a case/essentials for the phone

jimmii · 24-03-2015 03:41PM

Be a bit disappointed if those specs turn out to be accurate. Having said that I'll still probably get it though!

Here's the GSM arena comparison for nice easy viewing.

daytob · 24-03-2015 03:58PM

yeah not digging that at all, still leaning towards the zenfone 2 or the new oppo if ift has nice specs

My One Plus One just arrived

Is there anything I should do with it before I start adding apps etc or is good to go out of the box. I recall somebody in an earlier post mentioned changing the image size??

You mean change the icon size? They're ridiculously big.

deadanonymau5 · 24-03-2015 05:22PM

Love the phone so far, only thing I noticed is signal seems to be poor compared to other phones I have. Ive only had 1/2 signal bars available and I live close to town. I normally have 3/4 to full on my other phone.

Install it, replace 480 with 380 and reboot.

I think you need to root to change the dpi (I may be wrong here, open to correction), but if you want to just change the icon size on stock for more apps on your homescreens etc this works:

>Press the menu on screen button & it will bring up "Wallpapers, Widgets & Settings"
>You will see 3 dots like an arrow above this, click on that and will give you a few options for such as scroll effects etc. If you go to "Grid Size" you can change the size of the icons on your homepages and fit in more apps ect

What does that do?

Change the dpi, but you have to be rooted first. Personally I would not change the dpi as my last phone had the same size screen and dpi. I also changed the dpi on my Note II and this phone but quickly changed back also after changing the dpi updates will not install, you will have to do it manually.

That is incorrect. I changed the DPI, and all but one of my apps updates perfectly. The only offender for me is Amazon, as it doesn't like the higher DPI

I am talking about system updates like from Oneplus or Cyanogenmod.

deadanonymau5 · 24-03-2015 08:36PM

I wish the power button stuck out more.

On my lock screen the battery icon and % and the weather icon with degrees in Celsius are red. Anyone know how to change the colour?

There is ways to change the lock screen but I forget, I'm trying to think here but can't remember. Do you have a password or pattern? I have no security on mine and it is the way I like it. Change it tempoary to slide to unlock to see if it changes as I think that is what i done.

wotzgoingon · 24-03-2015 08:50PM

Actually just figured it. Un-tick the custom lock screen so much nicer lock screen.

Double tap main screen area to wake.
Double tap status bar to sleep.

That will limit power button usage to on/off.

Again, system updates all work fine at the changed DPI. It resets to the original DPI every update I get, but a quick re-root and im back in business

Irish Gunner · 25-03-2015 10:17AM

Ok going to buy a flip case and a charger on Amazon today. Think I can get it right re the case but the charger is there any good ones out there or ones to avoid

Cheers

Settings>lock screen>clock widget then go to camera, weather or calendar to change the settings for each.

Thargor · 25-03-2015 11:11AM

As discussed a few pages back, I had plenty of apps switch over to "Your device is not compatible" in the Play store after a modest change to dpi, even though they worked fine after a sideload. Its not worth it imo.

heebusjeebus · 25-03-2015 11:29AM

It's a waste of such a big screen to have the dpi so large I think.
I went back to the default 480 DPI last night and I couldn't get over how bad it looked.

PopePalpatine · 25-03-2015 01:59PM

I'm thinking about getting this phone soon, does anyone know if it's usable for developing Android apps?

iggy · 25-03-2015 02:41PM

Have the phone two days. It's a great device but a couple of things annoying me.
I have a slight yellow band on bottom of screen. I know this is a common issue that may disappear in time.
When I'm on a call I can barely hear the other person on the other end. If I put it on loudspeaker the other person says there is an echo.
If I press power button and then press reboot, it just powers off and doesn't reboot.
I'm unrooted and on CM11. Hopefully next update will sort it out.
Also I'm leaving VF as I'm out of contract soon but 4g only works on a couple of networks on the OPO? Is that right?

You must have got a bad one. Are you on the latest update? If not you may as well wait anyway for lollipop, it is out in a few days. But if them problems really annoy you update to latest if not on it already.

Apparently a fix for the yellow tint is put it under a uv light. It does go away though, mine was noticeable when I got the phone in December but is gone now for good awhile.
