Just wipe and start again, its the best way to trim the fat you dont use, same for Windows installations. If you've synced to Google nothing that matters will be lost.

Thanks.

But is there a way of backing up app data?

That's probably where the "glitches" originate...

Makes sense.

I'd say so. I have always been saying on here since my Galaxy S II and my Note II that you should do a clean install of every update to cut back on bugs.

So Exodus is pretty sweet. Took me all day yesterday messing around with drivers on two laptops and two cables to get it installed but I got there eventually and it was worth it. It is much faster than CM12.0 and just over all way more responsive. Battery also seemed better today but we'll see how that goes.

Yep, that's it. Be careful what modules you install, not all them work, I listed some a few posts back. Take a Nandroid backup in recovery before you install it in case something messes up.

Since the lollipop update the GPS has turned to crap, it doesn't update in realtime. However if I close map then open it up again then it will show new location but it is fixed.
Factory reset, set to high accuracy or installing gps fix apps does not fix it.

I must say that my experience with lollipop in general on all devices has been sketchy at best. Never really fulfilled the promise and pushed on from Jellybean. I think loads of changes were for the worse and stability just isn't there.

To be honest I'm tired of all OS available atm. iOS is too restricted. Android needs so much work to get up and running on the latest version and Windows Phone is just miles behind with apps. Sorry to be going off topic but the lack of stability with software and battery life is getting to me! :P

I have swapped over to Vodafone 4g but I'm still not able to pick up 4g signal. Is there any other settings I need to change? Any help much appreciated! I'm living in Arklow but its showing I should be able to pick up signal outdoors. I have also been up around dundrum bray etc but still nothing.

Omeceron · 09-06-2015 09:17PM

Has anyone had any problems with the front LED light?

Since I moved to Cyanogen it hasn't worked properly. It is very faint, I can barely see it when the phone is charging.

I tried the lightflow app but no joy. I have flashed Exodus on it today but that hasnt made any difference either.

Kid Nothing · 10-06-2015 10:09AM

Guys, has anyone had any issues with "grounding", i.e. the touchscreen not responding correctly? I've read a decent amount on the OnePlus forum about it but there doesn't seem to be a complete answer anywhere. It's incredibly frustrating and at this point i'm thinking of getting rid of the phone due to it. Thanks

I'm also having the same problem and phantom touches (usually when I try to unlock, at least once a day). Like you, i think i will return the phone.

For some reason this morning the touchscreen on the phone did not respond and I was pressing it like a frustrated pedestrian at a traffic light:mad: I could not reboot no response at all from the screen. Rooted and I was running CM12 with the latest nightly updates. Rebooted eventually and went into a boot loop so had to do a recovery.

Bit of a frustration but overall happy enough with the phone

The solution was posted here recently as I had encountered the same problem, hasnt happened me once since I turned off the ambient display and double tap to wake.

I think that was the solution, have a read a few pages back and you should find it.

Guys my OnePlus has started going haywire. Firstly when I type it sometimes seems t stall for a second and miss a letter or two, very annoying. Then other times it seems to hang for longer and is just unresponsive, for for 10-20 seconds, not even the buttons the bottom respond. So annoying! I'm on the latest CM12, what can I do to fix this?

Same as the post above, turn off ambient display and double tap to wake.

moggser · 11-06-2015 04:43AM

Just ordered one of these ,is there anything that I need to do with it off the bat to stop some of the probs you lot seem to be having g so far

Is this pre rooted or will I have to do this ?

Gran Hermano · 11-06-2015 07:10AM

There seems to be less problems if you stick with standard (clean install) and not trying out different ROMs.

I'd go with the phone as is, you can always play around with ROMs and add one later. I'd do an OTA check out to make sure it is the latest CM. If it updates do a factory reset. Familiarise yourself as to what's now included in the OS as standard, I found I no longer needed some of my usual apps.

Cheers,think I will leave it alone when I get it haven't tinkered with a rom in a while so think I'll stat that way

whats it based on right now? Is it kit kat or lolipop based

Gran Hermano · 11-06-2015 07:27AM

Latest is 5.0.2.lollipop.

moggser · 11-06-2015 07:30AM

Grand thanks.. how's the battery with it? If it's not already on it when it gets here should I bother updating to it??

While I think of it is there a way to get Google caller I'd on there ?

Thanks, will give this a try and report back. I'm on bog standard CM11, not rooted so the problem definitely isn't of my own making!

Hopefully I can turn back on the ambient display not that I have missed it much tbh or the double tap to wake.

My experience is exactly the opposite.

The phone is way better since I put Exodus on it. All of the little niggly bugs such as touchscreen being unresponsive and the phone getting too hot and poor battey have been solved by Exodus and the phone is much snappier and definitely more responsive.

I only installed Exodus last night. So just getting my phone back to the way I want it. Hard to put my finger on anything in specific, but it does feel better, snappier and less issues overall, so glad I did it.

Is there anything else I should install/change or be doing now that I've joined the Exodus world?

Cheers

awec · 11-06-2015 12:08PM

Has anyone tried the solution of opening the phone and insulating the digitizer to fix the touch issues?

Hey pal!
When you went to Exodus, did you do a clean install?
Start from fresh or bring a backup with you?

Thanks
