I love how he tried to call 911 just for a test... I'm pretty sure he could have been arrested if the call went through.

If he connected, a simple explanation that the phone failed to call 911 earlier would get him out of trouble, Worst case scenario they would dispatch an officer and he'd have to explain in person and would be easily sorted.

It very rare to get changed for the one non-emergency. Normally takes having a history of non-emergency calls before you get charged.

Simple explanation would have not gotten him out of it. If you say I was just calling to test they can def fine you if not charge you and will not hesitate to. Some cities have people on hold waiting to reach through to 911 and that is a spot that someone with an actual emergency could of got.

I've owned the OnePlus One, the OnePlus X, and the OnePlus 3T. My roommate owns the OnePlus 2.

 

My list, from best to worst, is:

 

1. OnePlus 3T
2. OnePlus X
3. OnePlus One
4. OnePlus 2

Currently, I'd put the 5 between the X and the One. From everything I've seen, the only major upgrades are a thinner body and a better camera.

 

While I support OP's decision to keep lower-res displays in the past; as mobile VR becomes a thing I personally have a reason to want High DPI displays now. I tried the Gear VR and actually found it to be pretty fun.

 

Combining this really mediocre spec bump with the weird issues coming out of the woodwork, and my next phone may be a Pixel 2.

got the OP2, think my battery has crapped out on me. havent had a full charge in like two months, chargeing it is INCREDABLY slow and sometimes just stopes or slows to the point where i can activate battery saver WHILE CHAREGEING! idk what to do tbh. every time i try to sign up for their forum from my phone there is some error or i dont get the email or whatever(no, its not in spam). they removed sevral nice features with one of the first software updates too, that was a happy surprise to say the least. atleast the specs and general experience of it is pretty decent.

I have had 4 unintended 911 calls in the US and 1 in Canada.

As long as you talk to the dispatch and follow instructions, wait for the officer and explain what happened. You'll be fine.

 

In the instance in Canada I was asked to take the battery out when not making a call.

Still, it's not a good idea. And in your case it wasn't your fault, whereas he intentionally test called them, which clogs up potentially crucial lines.

How do you fuck that up? lol

[Jito463]

I wonder if this issue is related to locational data?  If I'm not mistaken, don't the newer smartphones send location information to dispatch when you call?

[TheKDub]

Maybe it's a sign that they need to call 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 instead.

It's still an amazing phone. This is an issue that can be easily and quickly fixed via a software update. I wouldn't worry about it.

Semi slight update added ti the UP. But no word from one plus yet.

EU for the win! I mean a lot of countries in the EU (and the rest of the world) has 112 alongside their national emergency number so...  

112 is forwarded automatically to 911 in the USA on GSM networks (i.e. mobile phone networks).

But not all networks are GSM here!

This is what happens when it comes to budget phones.

 

Speaking of 'budget', hasn't OnePlus prices steadily been increasing over the years? You'd think their quality control issues would be solved for the extra money they're asking.

Bush did One Plus One ,  9/11 Won't buy again .

My decision to buy the OnePlus 3T black edition, and not hold out for the 5 is looking better and better by the day.

[TetraSky]

Makes you wonder if anyone died because their phone refused to call 911...

Good thing it's 112 in my country. Curious to see if it's for all emergency services. 

112 works in any country iirc

Apparently not in all if we're to believe wiki, starting from Japan.

OnePlus has admitted the issue and according to random redditor (u/rdslva) also rolled out the fix.

inb4 One+ goes radio silent on the Android O upgrade for the 3/3T like they did with the "promised" Nougat update to the 2
