Damn, I'm kicking myself as I always fall into the same trap in listening to the idiots on neowin. You'd think I'd learn over the years.

Hmm this new model could tempt me if they get the camera to be at least as good as the 5x/6p/pixel HDR+ mode....
Pixel 2 is a no go for me purely due to the bezels and smaller screen than my current 5x + ridiculous price tag and the only other option is the gs8, which I don't mind as it is a solid phone especially for <£500 but the old issue of samsungs performance getting worse after 6+ months put me of and the slow/lack of updates once the gs 9 comes out soon also puts me of but then again, I suppose that issue will also apply to the one plus 5t.......

Atleast you admit when you've made a mistake, ha.
The headphone output while not V30 level, is nice and strong with good dynamic range. A hell of an improvement over my old Nexus 6.
Looks like OP have patch the KRACK Attack in the lates OTA.

Thought my battery was draining a bit faster than usual today, and when I checked:
Any ideas? I've cleared the cache and restarted a couple of times but no joy...
Android being Android unfortunately. Android system is a renowned battery drainer all the way back to Lollipop.

Bah, nothing I can do then? Just checked and it's up to 38% now... I'm sure it used to sit around 11?!

Try disabling location, see if that helps.
Other than that, I can only recommend a factory reset

Bizare. This literally started happening yesterday?!

Has anything changed? Did a new update install?

Great cheers guys. Guesting for a year as a student os hoping my 10% extends to a 5t!
Just taken my phone out of it's case to fit a stupidly fat 3.5mm adapter and the phone just feels so light and thin. It's a lovely device but I wish someone would just make a phone designed with a case-like removable back and fit a bigger battery and better speakers etc as for a huge amount of people the fancy phone spends 95% of it's time in a big case anyway.

It's superb. Easily the best OS I've used on an Android phone.

Better than stock on a pixel? As nice as stock I'm definately keen to see it now. WIll be ordering the 5t I think
The only thing stock wins at on a Pixel is fast updates, otherwise Oxygen OS is basically stock with a nice load of customisation features, updates are steady and OS updates come a few months after Pixel.
Speed wise it's rapid.

Thats great, needs to be out now then! When the 5 was released, were there shortages or any nonsense around orders?
Was released around 20th June i think, i managed to order one on launch date. You could walk into an O2 shop and have a play with the OP5. They still have stocks of both 64/128GB models for about £449 and £499 i think.
I believe it's around 15th Nov they're looking to announce/launch the 5T, so O2 may drop the current prices around then.
