Yeah it could still be hardware, best way to test if it is software is to do a factory reset as a full clear should fix it, if it doesn't you may want to contact there manufacturer

Managed to get a OnePlus 3T order in yesterday morning before stocks disappeared. Main thing for me was 128GB onboard storage. Even with an SD card there is stuff that will only install on internal memory on my Z3 and I'm always running out of space (I am a bit of a heavy user).

Looking forward to an overall speed bump too considering I use my phone more than my PC for internet now.

The screen on my LG G3 has gone faulty. I probably could get it repaired, but as it's over 2 years old I thought I'd upgrade. I have a £15 pm contract with EE with unlimited data/text/calls, so didn't want leave that. So decided to buy a OnePlus 3 (don't think the 3T is worth the extra). However O2 are the only place to buy the OnePlus 3 now. My plan was to buy the phone outright, and immediately cancel the contract.

Placed the order on Thursday, but since I was working on Friday and no one would be home, and they wouldn't deliver to my work address, I opted to 'click and collect' from their store today (Saturday). I contacted their Live Chat support staff this morning as was told that my phone was ready and waiting at the store. So off I went on a 20 mile round trip to the nearest O2 store, only to find my order hadn't arrived. They have no tracking number for it, and no idea what's going on. :x

Off topic, but my weekend got worse after that. I left the store pissed off, and drive towards home. The car in front of me hits a dog. I get out of my car and help take him to the side of the road and watch him die as his owner emerges from the nearby woods, and breaks down in grief. I left and cried for the rest of the way home. :cry:

Awkward. On the (one)plus side at least you didn't do the running over.

They've stopped selling the 3, and they have a 4 week delay on the 3T. The only place to buy a 3 seems to be O2.

I would strongly recommend the OnePlus 3T over anything else, unless you're loaded and money isn't an issue, in which case get the Pixel.

Or if money is an issue if he can get hold of one then a OnePlus 3 would be fine.

In fairness though you can't easily buy a 1+ at the moment. Stocks all over the place.

Latest OP3 firmware has added 1080p60fps video recording, apparently.

One of my work colleagues is going for a 3T after messing about with my OP3 for a while, he was going for an S7 edge at the end of the month as his contract was up.

Mine is getting delivered Thursday. And I ordered the morning of release. Their website is quoting 3-4 weeks now depending on what storage you pick, so I dunno if you would be willing to wait that long Benny boy?

I have a Zenfone 3, it's pretty good for the price, I think the OP3 is a bit more expensive with a bit more power though.

My Galaxy S6 is acting funny and I'm not much for jokes.
Whenever it's not plugged in it has a tendency to forget to activate timed tasks like alarms and reminders. So if I forget to plug it in for the night best case scenario the alarm goes off 20 minutes later than scheduled. Worst case scenario the alarm doesn't go off at all.
Also, earlier tonight someone called me and the phone didn't ring. There was a missed call notification so the call got through to the phone. Just didn't ring for some reason.

I'm not sure about this, but it seems the longer it's been since I've used the phone the more likely this kind of stuff is to happen. Or maybe it starts happening after a set amount of time (30 minutes or an hour maybe?)

Anyone got any ideas what's going on?

How long did it take to arrive from the time you placed the order?

Really sorry I missed it , I was hoping to have a new phone before Xmas as mine doesnt actually function as a phone anymore (the speaker and microphone dont work on it), I guess Ill have to wait until the New Year so. On the plus side it really does look the business and I get a couple of weeks of Mr Ryall telling me how good it is to build up my anticipation level.
