Only ask support if your willing to wait a week or so for an answer.

You should be able to request another email.

No your email address doesn't have to be the same. Invites AFAIK aren't linked to your email. It is a unique code which you redeem by going to a webpage with that unique code in it.

You know the preorders are happening on Monday right?

Edit: have you tried just logging on? Maybe your account is already activated?

How's the cover? I got the Cruzerlite- which feels a little flimsy...

Right, I'm able to trade any body who can give me a valid invite to purchase a phone, for a cover that is available from the USA. I am leaving for Europe on Friday, where I'm meeting up with my sister who lives in the US. She will bring the cover with her and I'll bring it back to SA with me (I'm back 1 December). Must be ordered by end of Sunday (tomorrow) to arrive with her in time for her to leave. I'll pay for the cover of your choice, within reasonable limits with respect to price obviously.

The last time I charged my OPO was Friday morning. Currently on 43% with moderate to light usage throughout the entire time. The battery really is awesome. That's over 4 hours screen time and almost 48 hours since being unplugged.

People over at www.reddit/r/android are saying oppo has shocking customer service (can't get their phones replaced, customer support doesn't respond to emails or anything).

Oppo is an entirely separate cellphone company to OnePlus. Take care to say OPO when abbreviating.

OnePlus has a way to go as a company, but to be fair, they're a very small company. And based on the official forum, they've been inundated with stupid emails. They should have made a rule that support is for returns only.

It's great, not a hard cover but I wouldn't call it flimsy. The thing I like is that it has a bit of a lip over the screen so you can put it face down.

I don't know how you get such numbers. I think I'd get like 24 hours. Your battery life definitely seems better than mine

In a previous post you had 66% battery remaining after 2hrs 45mins screen time with 1d 2hrs 47min on battery. And with mobile data enabled. That seems good to me?

I mentioned that that it had been charging for a little bit until it got to 66%. It was in fact on low battery before I had charged for a while

Ah, forgot about that post. What sort of battery percentage are you typically left with by late evening most days? Have you installed a battery monitoring app like BetterBatteryStats to see if a particular app or setting is responsible?

Why are you posting with another username btw?

It seems to me the thing's sleep is a proper sleep. I unplugged mine on Thursday evening at 20:45 at 100%. Didn't use it again until the next morning at 6/7AM and it was still on 100%.
