Did you get a login to the portal to see the status, have they actually repaired it?

You have to concoct support for updates as far as I know but I've been out on site so to busy to do a thing.

Arrived back now, a day early. Will check the paperwork tonight

First time I sent my phone in I got a portal login and could check the status when I needed to, I'm so cynical of their support, I'm sure it's fine!

Not overly clear what was carried out but there was a camera defect. Working now though.

Collected Monday, shipped to Czech, repaired and returned by Thursday. Not bad.

Its sooooo nice to have my own phone back. Although I forgot to backup my contacts..

Have you checked your app battery usage?

Mines been fine since the last update, loads of on screen time.

Hi,

Sorry to be so late to the party but would anyone please be able to advise me what are the best screen protectors for a OnePlus 3? I notice it has a slight curve to the screen so preferably something that covers the full screen would be ideal. Apologies for having to ask, it will save me trawling through the 87 pages of the thread if some kind person can give me some recommendations.

Many thanks
Bintos

comes with one pre-fitted

And for a phone where I wish to replace the pre-fitted one .........?

I ordered one of the glass ones off the op site but not fitted it because the preinstalled one is still going strong.

Orzly normally do good glass ones too.

Got it via the Oxygen Updater app.

No problems so far, liking the added features.

Spoke too soon. Since 5.0.1 my network on sim 1 drops to nothing after about 10-12 hours. Only a power cycle fixes it.

Bug section of the forum suggests I'm far from alone.

My 3 is coming up to my 2 year upgrade cycle and getting a bit frustrated with bugs on 5.0.1, whats a good next phone at the moment?

Needs dual sims and either 3.5mm audio or audio over USB support

I'm probably looking at Nokia 7 plus if I upgrade any time soon, kinda holding out for the 5.1 update but I won't be holding my breath.

It's android one, dual sim, microsd, 3.5mm jack, decent spec and decent price (rumoured at 350). It seems like the Nexus replacement my 3T was supposed to be.

Also I think most android devices will do audio over usb via an OTG cable.

Ta will take a look.

Tried a otg which works with USB storage but no joy

My 3T powers my dragonfly DAC fine, what have you tried?

Fiio external dac amp

What bugs do you have? No plans on replacing my OP3 in 2018.

WiFi not roaming between ap and generally being weak (supposedly fixed in next release) and mobile network randomly dropping off requiring a power cycle (seems well reported on op forum bugs). Those are the two big issues but certainly not limited to those.

neil_g · 5 Apr 2018 at 22:07

Yeah unfortunately airplane mode doesn't fix it. Seemed to not happen for several weeks and then came back.

Seems a bit sporadic. Not good when your second sim is a work on call line.

neil_g · 12 May 2018 at 11:30

If anyone has a moment to price check my OP3 in the price checks section that'd be great, that section is DEAD.

neil_g · 30 May 2018 at 19:36

No mention of the WiFi or mobile data fixes.

(edit - still broken... https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...oints-not-working.743866/page-4#post-18477554)

Glad I sold up and moved on a couple weeks back.
