[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Snorp09:
I think it's a game of chance. There is no question mine is new. And there's also no question that my bootloader is locked.

It's absurd the idea that this would be a game of chance though. Does Google do ANY QA on their devices? How can I even be sure that my battery won't explode in a month? If they didn't catch this, what proves that they would have caught that?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Rhymey:
I've also submit it as a news tip for XDA and Androidcentral.

I've been considering buying a whole new device on Black Friday or the Thanksgiving sale and just trying to rally for a return on this locked POS rather than playing RMA hell.

^ I know some of you guys bought off the store as wholly unlocked but mines definitely Fi so I am starting to wonder if RMA Roulette is even worth it
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Milkman328:
Mine has the Verizon string in the Chrome search. I was curious about this as when I go to Verizon website and under device it shows unknown. I called them and they told me that my device did not have an IMEI that was assigned to them. This was unlockable Brand New (reorder) after first Pixel 3 XL was malfunctioning
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
got my replacement today... OEM unlock isn't greyed out.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Rhymey:
I've got a 3rd RMA on the way and if this one doesn't work I'm going to harass them for a return because at this point I am simply not getting what I paid for. I was looking at my Fi bill for the month and I even paid for the device protection (on the original unlocked model) and for what? For them to say 'can't repair if nothing's wrong'? Unreal lol

I received my new order of white pixel 3xl 128gb and it's unlocked and rooted.

Also battery life is incredible on this one
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Snorp09:
So I talked to Google support on the phone yesterday. And they told me that it was a "red flag" issue for them. And if they find it's a verzion device, they'll take the appropriate steps to rectify the situation.

I know this isn't a great response. But, I'm going to stick with it for a bit. I'm so tired with this after dealing with my Pixel 2, that I just want to enjoy the other stuff the Pixel has to offer. So I really hope they can fix this with a OTA. (But that string is super worrying... :/ )
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] janedoesmith:
Wow, your Pixel 2 also had a unlockable bootloader issue as well your Pixel 3 XL? Also, what does a "red flag" issue mean?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Snorp09:
Yup. RMAed Pixel 2s (Non-XLs for sure, I don't know about the XLs) are shipping out with locked bootloaders as well. I went through 6 of them before they gave me a refund (and only after I kinda demanded it.) I thought Google wouldn't mess up this badly again. I was clearly wrong.

They told me Red Flag is an urgent bug. They don't have an ETA on a fix. But they very much know that this is an issue. That's assuming you can trust Google support. I'm opting to trust them, simply because I don't want to go through 6 RMAs again.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] cswithxda:
Fi devices don't have restocking fees, if it's within the return window. I returned my first two phones (P3) due to bad screens and since they were ordered from Fi they didn't charge me anything even though I selected the reason to be "did not meet expectation" rather than "defective". But from the sound of it your return window has expired?

Talking of BF deal, I just checked for Pixel 3 it ships "in 2 to 3 weeks". Unbelievable! Google has been recently surprising me again and again, with poor display, restocking fees, long shipping wait, and now even the locked BL, the only thing I value the whole made by Google over the rest of devices especially iOS. My wife's experience with getting an XR this year was much much better than I'm having with Google :silly:

BTW somehow my fav Android related tech media other than XDA is Android Police
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] pcloadletter1:
Hope this isn't a thing anymore. Ordered one yesterday, shipped a few hours later. Surprised they were shipping on thanksgiving.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Rhymey:
Yeah I preordered like a ****in fool and I'm paying the price for it now. First phone fingerprint sensor issues and now it's just all Verizon. You'd think with my repair log + these threads a return should be a simple 'sorry the hardware teams arent giving you a 1-for-1 device, we can totally return'..

Been considering returning+rebuying Japanese Pixel, if! They let me return out of the 14 day window. If a Japanese pixel is locked to Verizon I'll sue :silly:

just off FedEx RMA less than 5 min ago lol. Good luck dude.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rezilient:
Hi guys. I just switched from Apple land and trying to get used to the Android ecosystem since I've been using iPhones since the iPhone 4.

The biggest pain point for me is getting a handle on the notifications. Apple gave you a lot less control over what you see so I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of control for SOME apps (I guess it depends on how granular the developer makes it for the users).

My current obstacle is receiving notifications while in an active call. I spend most of my work day in meetings so it's important to see notifications showing up in real time. When I'm on a call the notifications are causing a vibration or alert but there is no popup to indicate which one just came in. When I slide down the notification center I don't think the notifications are sorted by date/time so I have no idea which one just came in.

1) is there a way to force notifications to pop up on screen even when I'm on a call so I can glance at what it's about?

2) is there a way to sort notifications based on date/time so I can make sure the topmost one is the most recent?

3 bonus round) does anyone have a good solution for more iOS like notification bar that looks less congested and confusing (this is one of the only things I miss about iOS)

Thanks.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] IanCasvit:
I have been using it for a few months, and I have tried several things like using the "dead fix pixel" application, but now I received a call and the effect is worse. Any help? Any rom that includes screen calibration? I have not wanted to stop using Stock, but if I have to do it, I do it.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Aziziamran:
I have that issue too.. I bought this phone earlier September, brand new... But just after weeks, I already noticed ghost effect @ lcd burn in... So far I found no solution for this.. Temporary fix for me, is shut down the phone for about few minutes then restart it.. ghost effect is gone for a while before it's back few hours later... I'm pretty disappointed with the screen quality... The phone itself is very good, battery is good.. running high graphic games well too

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brunotuga:
Well that's 16.9 ratio mp

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

I use 4:3 so that's the full 12mp..

Think 4:3 if your pc is no wide-screen and you also want to print the pics is better.

If you see your pics on on tvs and won't be printing them then 16.9 is better
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] gaww:
I know, but prefer 16:9.

But the problem is it's supposed to be 9.1 MP and not just 3-4.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] VClouds:
The size of the image dimensions (Megapixels) has nothing to do with the size of the image file (Megabytes).

Take a 12MP photo with your S9 and check the resolution, it should be 4032x3024.

The pictures from your S7 might have been a less compressed JPG and that's why its jpgs has a bigger file size.

the problem is that whenever I try flash the new rom with TWRP i get an error as follows:

I KNOW i have the correct rom type as I have loaded Lineage previously on my device. and it is most definitely land

Is there a way that I can fix this device type error?

Now you can remove the ugly f__k dual sim card manager from notification panel, even after updating your phone to android oreo.

Till date you could just install overlay apps and it'd work. But on oreo that doesn't work so simply. Follow these steps.

This method does NOT void your warranty

Steps -->

1> Download the attached file to your computer.

2> Extract.

3> Install the following app provided on your device : aaa.quicksetting.hidesimpanel.apk, and restart your phone.

(If you're using any update upto Nougat, following these three steps would do. People using oreo or later, follow further)

4> Go to the directory and open a Command Prompt Window over there.

[Right click + Open Command Prompt Window Here; or hit Window Key + R, type cmd, and hit enter, then use 'cd' command to move to that directory]

5> Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on. If you don't have it enabled, go to Settings -> About Device -> Tap 7 times on build number quickly -> Enter your Pin, now go back to Settings -> Developer Options -> Switch USB Debugging on.

6> Connect your phone as 'Transfer Files' mode.

7> On the Command Prompt window on your computer, type 'adb shell' and click on allow this computer on your phone.

8> Now enter the following command : adb shell cmd overlay enable aaa.quicksetting.hidesimpanel

9> Reboot your phone.

10> Congratulations!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
Hi all. Posting this for users looking for answers on VoLTE and WoWifi on the 6T on AT&T & Verizon. If users with access to the OP6T could please test and report, that would be very helpful. Since the pixel 3 now supports both VoLTE & VoWiFi (on AT&T) there is perhaps some hope that OnePlus will also support it.

1: On AT&T, is there an option for Voice over LTE and Wifi calling and does it work?

2: On Verizon, I know Voice over LTE will work, but what about Wifi Calling?

Screen shots welcome :) I will have my hands on the device as soon as its available and will report since I have all the carriers, but thought maybe someone might get their hands on one early and could report. It might make a big difference on whether or now some users buy the device.! Thanks guys!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] hosss870:
Yeah, whether or not I get the OP6T depends entirely on whether VoLTE and VoWiFi work on AT&T.

Eagerly waiting for updates!

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mistah_mumford:
AT&amp;T &amp; Verizon VoLTE and VoWiFi calling/texting thread

Same here. I’ve got a spot in SC where I got for holidays annually where, without Wi-Fi calling, my phone is a paperweight. I’ve always wanted to try a OnePlus but if there’s no Wi-Fi calling I’ll have to pass and stick with my XS Max.

I’ve already ordered but it’ll be a quick turnaround if that doesn’t work.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Double_a2013:
This question came up in the AMA with the OP team in their community forums last week, and Pei himself said VoWifi isn't supported at the moment.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
Just got my device today so update time..

1: VoLTE works on Verizon by default as soon as you pop in the SIM. All the Verizon LTE bands seem to work fine.. in this area, 2,4,13, & 66. no option in the menu for wiFi calling, even though it works fine in my pixel 3 where my verizon SIM just was.

2: Neither VoLTE or VoWiFI work on AT&T by default. No option for either in the settings at all. So no change there from OP5/5T/6 ETC. However, if you go do the dialer, dial *#800# and hit enter, select oneplus logkit, scroll down to function switch and select it, and check the box for VoLTE switch and Vowifi switch and then reboot, it puts the VOLTE setting and VoWiFI setting in for both the Verizon and AT&T SIM. and while you can enable VoWIFI on both Verizon and AT&T, it DOES NOT work on either. On AT&T however, as long as you have a VOLTE capable/recognized IMEI on your AT&T account for your line, VoLTE/HD voice work just fine.

So, while it is amazing to have, for the first time ever a DUAL SIM phone that supports both VZW & AT&T at the same time, it is a too bad that VoWiFI does not work on either, Especially now that the Pixel 3 Supports it on both carriers.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] sharksfan7:
Thanks for the info. I'm looking to get the 6T to use on AT&T. I've never used an unlocked/non-AT&T branded phone on my line. Are there any other limitations that AT&T implements on non-AT&T branded devices? Do they throttle data speeds? Any issues with SMS/MMS working like some Verizon users are experiencing? Would I need to contact AT&T to have any special provisioning just to get it to work? I appreciate any insight on this.

My OnePlus 6t came in today. Took sim out of my Pixel 3 XL and popped it in. Everything is working except I can't SEND text messages. I can receive them and make calls, data is fine (actually amazing 44.5 mbps d/l, which is good for around here.)

I've tried chatting with Verizon, but after I told them what device, there was a long pause and then she asked if it was an iPhone :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Here are my troubleshooting steps I've followed.

-deleted app cache and storage

-reset device

-factory reset device

-cleared cache partition in recovery

Any suggestions? I put the sim back in my Pixel and all the messages came through. I've tried both slots.

There is another thread discussing why a lot of people using 6T on Verizon having problem receiving SMS and MMS. Something the phone being LTE only on Verizon. Maybe you are having the same problem? Worth reading that thread.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
Yes. that would be best. I didn't need to do anything with mine, it just worked. However, I do have the latest version the the Verizon SIM card. Not sure if that matters. I was using a Pixel 3 before.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
I have used AT&T for years on unlocked devices. I have tested everything :) Data speeds are just fine. no issues there. the OP6T supports all the bands on AT&T so coverage should be just fine for you. The limits are as follows:

1: built in visual voicemail will not work, you will need to use the AT&T visual Voicemail app from the store.

2: Wifi calling/texting will not work

3: VoLTE/HD Voice will only work with the above mentioned trickery. Root is NOT needed. just the *#800# thing

the only provisioning you may need is the AT&T imei for VoLTE (Easiest to do online) after installing your AT&T SIM in the OP6T, if VoLTE doesn't work after following the instruction in this thread, log into your AT&T account and update your IMEI to one of your past AT&T phones that support VoLTE and update, reboot you OP6T and bingo, it will work. No other provisioning or limitations that I know of. And if VoLTE/HD Voice isn't important to you, you can ignore all this. Your existing AT&T SIM just needs installed in your OP6T and your good to go!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] crowsnestitsupport:
The *#800# enables all those options. But it doesn't help anything on Verizon, and on AT&T it does work for VoLTE if a VOLTE enabled IMEI is on your AT&T account, but it doesn't work for wifi calling. I wish it was just illegal for the carriers to block services just because its a non branded phone :rolleyes:

So glad that I found this post. I am coming from an AT&T branded Galaxy S8 to my new OnePlus 6T. The above instructions worked like a charm for AT&T. I ran some tests. The OnePlus displays "HD" when I call my wife on her phone on AT&T and VoLTE shows in the status bar. When I toggle it back off I lose "HD" on the phone call screen. Also, LTE stays on during calls with VoLTE turned on and I ran a speedtest with it on and off and I definitely get 4G speed with it on and it downgrades to HSPA+ with VoLTE off and speed goes way down. Hopefully VoWIFI will be supported soon but that's not a deal breaker for me as I get great reception most of the time where I live, work and travel.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] se7endust1:
I've got AT&T as my primary and Verizon as #2. I just got off the phone with Verizon, told them I needed to add the CDMA Less feature to fix my texting. He checked a box on his end and I got a flood of texts in...what was even better, it was a work phone on a business account. I didn't even have to provide any real information to him and he was able to fix me up. He was aware of the issue though, he'd asked if it was a 6T from T-Mobile...so someone sent out a bulletin somewhere that he had read.

Anyway, I left Verizon to go to AT&T specifically for this plan of having one phone to cover 2 lines while one being fully functional (AT&T), so far it's been working well switching between SIMs for texting and making phone calls.

What were you specifically looking to find out?

Edit: found what you're looking for...however I'm not sure where those settings are even at.

[MENTION=6947587]crowsnestitsupport[/MENTION] Thanks so much for this info! It's what I needed to push me off the fence and place my order. Shipping estimate said it should arrive by the end of the week.

I have a question regarding updating my IMEI on my account, as you mentioned. I logged into my account on att.com and poked around but couldn't find the page where I can manually update my IMEI. Could you perhaps point me to the page where I can do that?

The phone that's listing under my devices is my HTC One, which I'm still using. This doesn't support VoLTE. But I do have an iPhone 6+ that I can pop my SIM into. I did that this afternoon & I'm pretty sure my account is already set up to handle the HD Voice stuff. Didn't test VoLTE but was able to do WiFi Calling. I know the 6t won't support that, but if my line is provisioned for it, I assume it'll do VoLTE as well. Thanks again.

Glad to help!! So my AT&T account is a business account. I don't have access to a personal one. They have an option for change IMEI right on the home screen. Here is a screenshot:
