Have got mine for about 2 weeks now, installed the LP and merged the partitions.very impressed with this phone so far, snappy, everything just work and feels quite 'premium'. Battery isn't bad as well, I get about 3.5h screen time and all day on 1 charge. The charger is brilliant, it's really quick and 75% in 30min is not exaggeration.

Found this case on Aliexpress:

LINK

It is hard plastic like the Nillkin but covers the top and bottom bezels as well. Also makes the bottom buttons more visible.

I don't think it will as it looks like a discontinued model.

Yeah I have v2.5.1 and unified storage now as well :smiley:

How often do these come back into stock, if ever?

They both have it. Ive installed v2.5.1 and the option is under 'more' in settings.

I seen it but didn't bother after reading all the comments saying its really buggy on the Oppo forum

OK this is where I went wrong, the unified storage is only available on project spectrum I first downloaded coloros v2.5.1 which does not have this option. did a factory reset and installed spectrum and all is fine now apart from the camera app which is a bit ropey. the camera takes a bit of time to focus.

​2.1.5i is based on lollipop i believe

​have you got the updated version with 4k recording? took some googling but it's on the oppo community site

Has anyone installed cyanogenmod 13 on there device?

Oh No.

I found this vid, I will try it out.

Thanks

Did you unify the storage? Otherwise only leaves you with 4GB for apps.

I installed the OS below. Now I keep getting a Storage space running out notification. Any ideas?

http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=42345&extra=&page=1

I think I will have to do a factory reset on mine as the storage issue is starting to do my head in

Hmm...mine sometimes freezes starting up after a reboot and I have to disconnect the battery. And now it's started 'optimising apps' every time I reboot. Anyone got any ideas what's going on?

Ah Ive just had another look in broad daylight and you can clearly see the protector. :smile:

Not tried that rom and just went with the latest Color OS 2.1.5i which is based on Marshmallow. Thought the Spectrum rom was just a beta?

The option's there on mine - Project Spectrum V1.0 Beta.

They come with what looks like a protective cover with a graphic on, once peeled off there is a screen protector already applied. Mine is still going strong 14 months on. Don't forget it is Gorilla Glass 3.

Have you applied the OTA updates and then downloaded the latest version of Color OS 2.1.5i? There is the option in this version. Applied it to mine last night. The link to the download is in this thread.

There is a stable version of Color OS 2.1.5i which is Marshmallow based android. There is a link on this thread. Well worth it.

I have a screen prtector applied on mine already also

No, i dont have this option on my phone to unify the storage?? I have 2 storage setting options 'Erase phone storage' and 'Preferred install location' at the bottom. there is no option to switch partition.

Cheers. Can you clearly see there is one on? I've had a good close look at mine but cant see it. Im not sure if Im just a bit blind/daft or I dont have one.

Nope. Did you not see the option to 'switch partition'? (2nd from top). You need to switch it to UNIFIED

​when I go to storage settings it asks for preferred location and it was set to 'depends on system's and I switched to 'phone'. is this what you mean? it didn't erase anything though.

There is one but I think it is temporary and will peel off by itself over time.

I'm thinking about a glass protector. Are they worth getting?

It should work in theory just my phone was not playing ball. As a last resort I updated the COS to 1.29i and that seemed to do the trick.

Bit of a daft question from me: Does anyone know if these come with a plastic screen protector already on?

A bloke doing a review on youtube said they do but Im not sure if mine has one or not, cant really tell

Go to: Settings - Storage - Switch partition

Doing it will wipe all data off your phone though

I also received mine today and loaded project spectrum, but I keep getting error message about exceeding the 3GB limit for applications allowance.

Is there a way to bypass this?

I've installed the oppo find 7 spectrum rom just finding out would that receive updates or would i have to install another rom? as it's a bit new to me any information be grateful.

No probs.

Rather annoyed that it comes with the fixed 2 pin plug charger. I got mine from Amazon and it came with UK plug but with detachable usb lead.

Awesome, thanks for your help.

I cannot get this to work on Three or O2.

Any ideas? tx

Sorry for the delay in replying. I was suspended for criticising G**rBest :smiley:

On Color OSv2.1.5i it's:
Settings>General>More>Data Monitor

I got mine today and updated it to the version below, it was quite straightforward.

The only thing I cannot find is the way of setting your monthly data allowance limit and the reset date (every month) it's normally under the mobile network - more settings ?

http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=42345&extra=&page=1

gutted I missed this.

I'll try it. I currently have a clear one on that I got from Amazon last year.

I thought metal cases interfere with the signal, that's why you see plastic attachments to phones with metal backs.

I will be getting one of these once I get mine:

can you order at international?

It is out of stock in EU store but available on international store. If I order it from international store, will I have to pay any tax or duties on it?

Can anyone recommend a case please?

​somehow I completely overlooked that idea :confused:

​The quick charge is very good i pick up a travel plug from the supermarket does the job.

Got mine yesterday really impressed install the oppo f7 spectrum rom very happy with it.

​shame, be bothered if I'm paying €25 for a UK one delivered

Kinda frustrating isn't it? :smile:

LOL. Mine is 15 miles away and to be delivered on Monday.

Mine is currently sat in the DHL warehouse at Heathrow. Get in.

Did anyone ask for the UK plug on the payment page? If so, which version did they send you? tx

They only come with 2 pin. They won't swap it.

Quick question does it come with a 2 pin plug or 3 pin?

Noooo... It's way to good for that :smiley:

Hi
Does anyone know the link to update the OS on this, hopefully with some clear instructions?
Thanks

Replacing girlfriends Sony Z3 Compact as she wants a larger display and better front camera. Worst case scenario, if she doesn't like I'll get a DAC to use it as a Digital Media Player.

​ill confirm when I pick mine up later, if it's a 2 pin I'll be emailing support for a 3 pin :stuck_out_tongue:

Oppo back in stock white one only find 7 and 7a

Ordered. Thanks.

Thanks for the info, just ordered.

Cheers. Already ordered mine yesterday

Me too. Already got one from last year and this is a present for one of my sons next month.

This really is the deal of the month. A high quality piece of kit at cheap tat money.

Came to say the same, just got a Find 7 in White

Ah right. I checked at 2.30am just before I went to bed but none in stock then. Guess I should go to sleep later... :smile:

Hi all I'm new to this will these phones work on the vodafone network on 4g.cheers

Oppo Find 7a is still available, such a lot of phone for £88, well worth buying.

I did order mine 4am in the morning still surprise it be here tomorrow unless they have stock available in the UK.

Had DHL message be here tomorrow didn't expect it till next week.

Oppo Forums have all the latest stuff. Looks to be a beta of the latest android too.

cheers for that
i was looking for that update for a long time

Paid 249 euros for the find 7a last July and i was gutted when i lost it a few months ago.

Didn't hesitate in paying £91 for it again, even if i don't get the the nifty case this time around.

Even had to reset my paypal password in work on my phone to make sure i got his again.

Still have both charger for my old too. The heat on this should be through the roof for the spec you get.

A quick look shows 5.1 available for R7 too. I had to do 2 updates OTA and then download 5.1 from the official forum.

i think Burgess85 mean oppo r7 stuck on 4.3

Tx. The review I saw was actually referring to the 7A which has only 1080p screen so I can imagine the 7 with qHD to be worse. Fast charger is a good and probably necessary inclusion.

The new Xiaomi phones with 5.5" screens seem to have good battery life. I think it's to do with the SDragon 650 and the much larger 4000mah capacity.

Seem like a good phone but I've heard it runs down the battery very quickly.

Did they fix that?

Jelly Bean??

Wileyfox storm takes good pictures but the focus is very very slow that is the only issue i had with it, is the oppo f7 the same design as wileyfox they look very similar as i got a case for the storm i was wondering if it fit the oppo?

stuck on android 4.3

Ordered my daughter a 7a and thought I'd have a look on CEX to compare 2nd hand prices.

A good profit to be made on these!

https://uk.webuy.com/search/index.php?stext=oppo+find§ion=all

I check online looks like it gets updated to 5. 1 by oppo but not pass that, I managed to get one earlier hopefully be better then my wileyfox storm.

Left backlight button stop lighting up seems to be a issue with the early batch off storms, came back from repair now my sim card doesn't get a signal, so i try the wives sim card the same thing check all settings on the phone and also the apn settings no luck so phone wileyfox they didn't know what the issue was and that they give me a call back within 3 days they didn't call, so i phone back up, they had no record off me phoning up before and now have fob me off another 3 days if it's getting repair or replace or try any other settings to get it to work. The phone is great when it works, haven't been able to use the storm for a month now so thought i try cyanogen on the oppo better spec aswell.

Ordered the Find 7a. Thanks OP.

Oos

There is a ColorOS version available that is based on Android Lollipop (ColorOS 2.1.5i).

Also a beta version of near-stock Android ROM has been released by Oppo (Spectrum).

Cyanogenmod also an option.

Cheers OP, missed out on this the other day when I posted it cause I debated too much. Just managed to get the 7a in white for just under £90 to use as a back up. Both the 7 in black and white are OOS and the 7a in black is also OOS. But could be worth checking every now and again cause all handsets were OOS on Tuesday!

7a in White still available @ 112 euro

OOS

Cheers opp got one.

OOS

All gorn

Be quick as it sold out before

No finger print scanner? Is that right? Looks like an amazing phone.
