I'm rooted. Not sure if that's why I got the update so quick.

I'm rooted, on official firmware. No update, so I don't think that it's related...

I've been seeing more of the yellow tinge screen lately- I'd be interested to see if the update makes any difference...
 
I'm not using stock rom so no updates for me, but am very keen for CM12S or Oxygen
 
I got the 11s update this morning. Was really hoping for 12s. I see HTC ones are getting it. LG G3 already has it and even the Samsung note 3 in Russia is getting it.

But CM which is near stock so I assume will be easier still not a peep. They promised 3 months and failed and a useless 11s update that changes nothing will not disguise it. :mad:

The 11s update was a tragic waste of Cyanogen's resources. All anyone is interested in is 12s. I'm starting to think that the responsiveness of the lock screen has suffered with this update too. I never used to have to swipe twice occasionally because the first time didn't register.
 
I see the peeps complaining about the double tap to wake but mine is ok for now. Today they announce "more info" on Oxygen. Just more info so not even that will be released. The phone is still awesome and I don't regret buying it but feel let down by them with the wait. Don't know who to blame but it looks like CM. CM taking their time with all the back stabbing and silence so now OP has to make a plan quickly with Oxygen and just so happens to reveal more info on the last day cm12s should have been available.
 
LOL I could care less who creates the rom. They can at least show off some more screenshots or give more details. What a pathetic over hyped announcement.

Just to highlight the value of tempered glass protectors. I fitted a tempered glass protector to my Oneplus before I even switched it on for the first time. This was in mid December. In early January, while on leave, my little one year old found my OnePlus on the couch. She picked it up, placed it face down on the tiled floor and with both hands on the phone, crawled all the way to the kitchen (large open plan), pushing along with her legs while using the phone as a sliding device under her hands, bum in the air style :D

Pictures of what it looks like after this are below. Now, I've ordered replacement (multiple) tempered glass protectors which I'm still waiting for, but without one fitted, this would have been one messed up phone and one upset dad ;)

Thank goodness, my new screen protectors arrived (along with a spare USB cable and some headphones). My phone looks brand new again!!!! :)
I am impressed with Fedex/Stackry - multiple parcels consolidated and shipped in record time. Picked up from Stackry late in the day Monday, in my hands this morning at 08h00.

So, my phone is downloading updates ATM.

Thank goodness for unlimited mobile data: no need to wait for WiFi :D

I use Swiftkey by default- interested to see what's changed or what I even notice.

I'll check changelog on Monday - see if I've noticed anything over the weekend...
 
Got an invite for this but recently got a note 4, so i'll have to wait a little while.. Well at least till i get bored with note 4 that is xD
 
Guys, has anyone successfully RMA'ed their OnePlus from SA?

Im currently in process, and it seems like its going to cost me a quite a bit, seeing that they dont pickup or ship to SA.

Basically Ill have to ship it to Hong Kong and pay for that, and then they will ship back to my dropshipper in the US (they will cover this) and then Ill have to ship from the US back to SA (my cost)
 
This is unfortunately the risk we take when buying one. I guess you can send it out and back in via the cheapest option but it'll take a while. I'm not sure how you get around paying VAT and duty twice.

I'd guess that shipping it with a copy of your invoice (so they can see it's used/old) and a copy of your receipt for having paid VAT & duty would get you off that hook?
