The OnePlus forums are estimating a timeline of a month+ before you get your invites.

I think I see it, but I can't tell if my mind is playing tricks on me or not. It seems like when I stare at it I start seeing more and more yellow.

If I saw any yellow, I may have been in the corners. I can't say I saw a band, but it's kind hard to tell without seeing it in person.

Nah, that last update with the battery draining bug took five or six days from when I read about it here to going out to my phone.
Anyone know if I can safely ignore the previous update and wait for the new one, or do they have to be installed sequentially?
I just got a silicone case from ebay for $3... And the glass protector I also got from ebay works fine with it.

They released a fix for it last night. It could take a few days to get to your phone or you could sideload it.
Pretty sure it requires your phone to have the latest update. You could wait for a fully flashable zip version though.

Sold my 2nd OPO. Think I'll just wait to see what the Note 4 or Nexus 6 have to offer.

I'm having a problem with charging on mine. For some reason the charger it came with is hit or miss. As in sometimes I plug it in it will charge and sometimes it won't. Third party chargers are fine though and the OPO charger itself is fine as it still charges other stuff. Not sure what to do.

The cable they included is all style and no function. Shit when I first got mine I thought it was plugged in correctly but I actually had the cord plugged in upside down. It sits very loose. I'd recommend just using a different charger or using a different cable with their charger.

I updated this afternoon with the buggy update and within an hour the even newer update was ready for my phone.

Do the lock screen notifications work on the custom lock screen or do you have to use the stock Android lockscreen?

I also just noticed that I can't change the slider shortcuts on my home screen to any of the apps I'd want to. I wanted to change messages to Hangouts but when I go to change it Hangouts isn't an option. I know in past past it would let me change it to any app I wanted. Now it only let's me pick random stuff like music playlist or Google Drive shortcuts.

I just don't know what their end game is. We know they are part of Oppo and they could be doing the same thing under the Oppo name.
Would probably be the best idea since there were no hardware issues with all those oppo finds.

What did they change on the lock screen? I don't notice anything

The Oppo has the same yellow band issue and ghost touch issue the one plus one has. Oppo finally admitted it was a problem and replaced phones for people, while One Plus One still claims it's a feature. Some speculate they are using the bad screens that get returned or fail qa from Oppo for the one plus one.

I'm probably late... Been wanting an android for awhile now.
Edit: Whoa, didn't think I'd get one. Thanks StoneHeart!

Yep, got it a couple hours ago.
Invites seemed to have slowed down the past week or so. Doesn't seem like their sending a ton out recently.

They still haven't sent me invites from when I bought mine a month ago.

I've been meaning to upgrade from my Nexus 4. I kind of getting tired of it to tell you the truth. Would love to have a 64GB OPO invite if anyone has one to spare, I'm looking for something with a lot of storage, LTE and a better camera.
EDIT: I'll definitely pay it forward so another GAFfer can have a chance to get one.

I'm getting tired of my Nexus 5 lol. I can't imagine holding out that long
Well I recently built my PC just a month ago so I was concentrating on that before getting a new phone. I was thinking of getting a Nexus 5 earlier this year but was turned off by the ho-hum upgrades to the Nexus 4. Hopefully I could get this phone because it sounds like a deal for the 64GB plus hearing the positive updates towards the phone.
There is a link at the bottom of the OP where you can ask for an update of your status. You've to quote the OP to reveal it.
You'll have to mention in the form that you have received your invite/your phone but you can just add next to your nickname that you're not interested anymore by the OPO.
By the way, is there a way to know the delivery fees of the OnePlus One before being able to order it?
I was able to get to the checkout screen (but it didnt let me pay!!!!) and it showed to be about $15.
I see, thanks.
I've tried to go to the checkout screen as well before asking here in order to simulate a purchase, but the website did not let me add the phone in the shopping cart (got a message telling me that I needed an invite even to do so).

Received my second invite (first one expired before I had a chance to give it away) and ordered the 64Gb one. So it takes about a month before I have invites to give? Will pass around once they are here.
