Gave up waiting for talkmobile to send me a new sim card and butchered my old one down to the right size.
Had to play around with the APN settings to get mobile data to work but otherwise it's all good now.
Really enjoying the phone, haven't found anything I don't like about it yet. I'm coming from an iPhone 4S though which was woefully slow so you could day I would have been easily pleased though. :P
One thing to be wary of which I've heard reported on the forums is the phone getting very hot when in your pocket. Apparently the proximity sensor doesn't disable the fingerprint scanner, which can lead to the phone constantly trying to scan (your pocket?) leading to high battery use and corresponding elevated temperatures.Had to play around with the APN settings to get mobile data to work but otherwise it's all good now.

I have found that it will occasionally try to, and fail, to read a non-existence fingerprint. Not any significant heat gain or battery loss though.AndrewEH1 said:

I ordered my 3 on the website on the Tuesday launch, standard delivery and it arrived on the following Saturday. I've also bought three One's from them and all arrived quickly without issue.
I really like the phone as said previously, and think it is worth holding on for, even if their shipping is shoddy.

I ordered mine last Friday and it's at the distribution centre now. I don't know how people who ordered on Monday/Tuesday got theirs before me, odd.
Ah well, they had actually delayed my shipping date from Thursday (yesterday) to Monday, then actually 'shipped' it on Wednesday (three days ago tomorrow) which was a nice surprise. I hope it's delivered today, don't hold out much hope though.

I ordered my yesterday and got the dispatch confirmation today. It is shipping to Germany so will have an EU plug, if that makes any difference on availability. Swapping from IOS to Android, wish me luck.
I hope you enjoy Android, hopefully you'll wonder why you didn't leave sooner!AndrewEH1 said:

I hope you enjoy Android, hopefully you'll wonder why you didn't leave sooner!I went with a Nexus 5X but have gone back to HTC. HTC works well for me, especially the mail client and being able to chuck APKs on there (as I develop some very small time Apps) via bluetooth, this wasn't possible on the 5X.
I also prefer the swipe keyboard provided by HTC, but each to their own!!

Have they actually shipped it I wonder? Mine said shipped, then it said it had been received by the distribution centre and now it's come up as 'Sales Order Raised' so clearly there's been some issue that Oneplus needs to sort out.

I'm guessing it must as I ordered mine on Wednesday and it still hasn't shipped. Either that or Oneplus logistics are still st and ship out in random order.Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
