Does she also have a opo?

They use different bands of LTE in 'countryside' vs 'town'
I am the same, my Nexus 5 pics up LTE where I live (countryside) but opo does not, however both work fine I get back to Dublin or larger towns.

What would the going rate for a used white 16gb OPO be?

150?

You buying or selling? If selling I'd take it off your hands for that. If buying I'd say a bit more depending on condition. There seems to be very few of them around, and even the 64gb asking price is quite high. They will drop a bit once the OP2 becomes widely available

padair · 08-08-2015 06:04PM

If I am able to get my hands on op2, gonna try and sell my opo for 250 as it the 64gb model. Its in perfect condition. Could I get more for it?

JonnyM · 08-08-2015 06:11PM

I get 4G on 3 as an ex O2 customer, only in towns/cities, its been activated for us in the last month, Galway, Athlone, Limerick, Dublin and Carlow that I know so far anyway.

AngryDiMaria · 08-08-2015 06:20PM

Anybody have 4G in all areas with Meteor ??

Always shocks me to see wanting so much for used items. Hell I just sold an unopened new one for that. Suppose the guy got a deal going by people talking mad prices here but he's happy and I got me op2 money so I'm happy.

Can someone help me out?
I changed to three today to make use of the oneplus ones LTE capabilities.
However the phone signal has an R beside it which denotes its in roaming and because of this i only have 2g. Ive tried everything on the carrier side of things which leads me to believe its something on the phone, can someone help?!

Go to Settings>Under Wireless and Networks, hit Mobile Networks (Not the switch)>Preferred Network Types>4G

That should solve it?

Anyone recommend a decent car charger for this that will actually charge the phone at a rate better than 1% every 10 mins which is what my current ones does. Cheers.

Are you using the stock charger? Mine charges in no time flat.

Yes, I use that at home but I'm looking for a decent one for the car as the cheapo eBay one I got isn't up to the task.

Meanaspie · 09-08-2015 03:04PM

So my phone keps on disabling swipe to unlock and forces me to use my pattern. At first I suspected that it maybe exchange forcing the issue but I've since removed the exchange account and the problem persists. I can rectify it by clearing the security credentials but I'm having to do this a few times a day now. The only thing with administrator rights on my phone is cyanegon. Anyone any ideas?

Are you using the stock red cable that came with the phone. Chart rates depend on quality of USB cable as well as charger.

Download the android app Ampare and see what charge your cables are giving you, its surprising how a good cable can change charge times.

Bought the AmazonBasics integrated car charger and I'm pretty happy with it. Advertised as 2 amp and it seems to reach it.

How are different USB cables labeled?

They aren't. That's why its sometimes hard to get a good one for charging.

What I have found was shocking, using the app (Ampere) I found special 'charging cables' bought on eBay didn't much help at all and more often than not the cables I got with tablets worked out best. (stands to reason when you think how big the battery's are in tablets and how fast they need to charge)

Also tested the new cables from Aldi and was happy to find they were very good for only €5

Also test the AmazonBasics ones too and they worked out very well.

I have now labelled them all for charging rate as that is my priority when using them.

Just received phone this morning and am super impressed. However I'm still on CyanogenMod
11 .When I check for updates 12 doesnt show up. Why is this ? Thanks

joeKel73 · 10-08-2015 11:30AM

Any expectation of a further price drop when the OP2 is released?
(invites starting today)

On the fence at the moment between the OP1 and OP2, factoring in price difference.

I had the same thing with mine that I got the other week. Someone said earlier that some of the latest phones shipped have a bug that means that they aren't updating OTA but it's very simple to do yourself. First you need to latest OPO CM update (CM12S) which you can get here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347761631 (this link comes from the official forums). Then put it onto your phone, reboot it in recovery mode and you can select to apply the update from here.

Took me about 10 minutes and it doesn't wipe any data on your device. Also no need to root your device or anything. PM me if you need a more in depth explanation.

Thargor · 10-08-2015 01:14PM

I would say stay with 11 for the massive battery life, there is feck all difference between 11 and 12 except a drop in battery performance.

howamidifferent · 10-08-2015 01:16PM

First of the oneplus 2 invites have started....on the forums can be seen.

Thanks for this. Might take up your kind offer up with a pm later when I'm home if stuck. I thought the battery life issues had been sorted with a recent update ?

No problem, it's pretty quick and easy anyway! Battery life has been fantastic, I can get about a day and a half of battery if needs be but I'll usually always plug it in every night. Keep in mind I only had CM11 for about 3 or 4 days before I updated so I'm not the best candidate to compare versions but I've noticed no difference. I came from a Nexus 4 and I've been very used to using Lollipop so I wasn't interested on going back to Kitkat.

Forgot to say, next time Im messing with the phone Ill probably dump Exodus and head back to 11 myself, its just the difference is small enough that I always have something better to be doing with my time

Does anyone have JuiceDefender or an alternative working on their OPO? I tried it but the log in the app just fills up with error messages and it never seems to do anything.

Ok have downloaded the file. Do I need to have the file stored in any particular folder. How do I reboot phone into recovery mode ? Thanks

All is explained here and worked for me!

A head ups if you bought the OPO in the last few weeks. Some of the models have been shipping with a developers build of CM 11 which will not receive OTA updates (probably the end of stock). If you want updates, you'll need to manually downgrade it to 05Q and they will show up. Tutorial here:

forums.oneplus.net/threads/xnf9xbs28k-ota-updates.315441/

I've got one here with Cyanaogen 11.0-XNF9XBS28K, build KTU84Q, (March 2015). Only problem now is that this build is solid as hell. 2 days battery, no random reboots, no touchscreen issues, no hot phone. So I'm still debating keeping it until 12.1 shows up as I've heard too many Lollipop horror stories.

maximoose · 10-08-2015 02:00PM

Mine has the exact same build as Mitekey, think I'll be sticking with it until 12.1 - no complaints here after 2 months.
