To be honest I don't know. Just cross your fingers and hope you get a rep who's been there for some time and doesn't just read off a script.

That's what happens to me the last time.

Just told the guy I need both my devices unlocked, he pulled up my account seen that I've been with them for 8+ years.

He asked "you're not going anywhere right (ie leave the company)" told him no.

While I was on the phone with him, told me to hit the unlock & just reboot when I got off the phone with him. That simple.

I was actually just about to give up too. That was my 2nd day of trying and my like 12th time.

If you're having difficulties working the "I want to unlock my bootloader" angle (and you don't have a problem saying you're traveling internationally), this guy's key points seems to work for some people:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/help/psa-easy-unlock-t-mobile-t-force-t3865616/post78123357

Definitely hit or miss though. But also, if they offer you a temporary unlock, take it. Sometimes it ends up allowing you to use the permanent unlock feature in the app.

Holy ****, it worked! Literally my first customer care call but I was just honest with the lady, no excuse about going overseas. Just told her that I got a 6t last week, heard others having success, and I wanted to perm unlock it. I had a bill due today that I had to pay because she said the account has to be in good standing(makes sense) but other than that I paid no extra fees/two months of EIP or anything like that. After a couple of minutes she had me go on the Unlock app, hit perm unlock, reboot, and once I was booted back up I was able to enable OEM unlock. Thank you so much for the tip, I probably would have given up if not for you. I'd buy you, and the T-mobile rep a drink if I could!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] djhotsauce:
So glad I could help someone out. And no problem, that's why we're all here to help each other out.

With my experience I think most of these reps on Twitter & the APP are part of new hires. Because every single one gave me a script.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gabestover:
I've got the 6T on EIP. I've tried 611, regular tmo chat, facebook, and twitter to no avail. I tried the international travel angle the first time, and was offered the temp unlock. Since then, I tried just complete honesty, that I want to stay on tmo, with that phone, pay it off as originally planned, and unlock sim, so I can unlock the bootloader so I can use the phone how I want. The whole time I've been incredibly polite, making it known that I know it's not policy, asking for exceptions to be made, etc. I've not been a customer a super long time, just 4 years, but zero luck all around. Got a crazy rude CSR on the phone recently that when I said "alright, I'll just try again some other time", he told me how he's in a room with 30 other people and none of them are going to do it. He then said that he noted my account that I was going to keep calling back so that no one would help me. I've been told a few times that it is 100% impossible for them to unlock while on EIP, and that they'd love to, but there is just zero way to get around that. Fun fun!

Update: Finally got them to permanently unlock my phone. Although I had to make my $280.00 payment through the website before they would agree to it. They also mentioned not being able to give me back my old phone that I traded in for the 6T if I wanted to return the 6T. Yikes.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EspElement:

I have also tried through every outlet that T-Mobile has, Twitter, Facebook, 611, T-Mobile app chat, website chat, etc. The best I could do was temp unlock and the statement that if I were to make 2 full monthly statement payments they would be able to grant the permanent unlock. I have been keeping mental note of the names of reps I've been conversing with so that I can avoid the same rep giving me the same answer. I'll keep trying but I'll probably end up not being successful until after the December monthly payment. That will be fine with me since the dev community hasn't yet gotten all the kinks worked out yet. Probably by January the development will be rolling full speed for this and the unlocked variant.

Spent most of the morning going between Twitter and Facebook.

Decided to try Chat through the T-Mobile app and finally got a rep to do it.

That whole email excuse is just a way to get you off the phone.. In 2 days you'll get an email just stating the guidelines.. The unlock is instant so unless they do it right there on the spot, it's not legit.. I'm only speaking from experience..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] creator2456:
If that's the case I'll be making even more of a stink about it.

That 24-72hr BS is just to get rid of you. Trust me I went through it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
They unlocked mine. I told them I wanted to flash the standard OS from OnePlus. It also helped that I had already paid off 50% of the device on launch day.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] futango:
I was able to get my SIM unlock by reaching out to TmobileHelp via twitter. I told the person I just got my phone the other day and realized I was going out of the states and will need my phone unlocked. The person asked how long I will be gone for if its under 30 days they can do the temp unlock. I told them it will be gone for 3 months. He spoke with his supervisor and told me that I can make a 2 months EIP payment total of $43 and I can get a perm unlock. He then provided me a link to go to my EIP payment plan and I made the payment. Once he confirmed that the payment went through, he asked for the IMEI, email. Provided those to him and within 5 minutes he told me to open the Unlock app on the phone. I did so and click on Perm unlock, it stated that it is eligible for perm unlock and asked to restart the phone. Once the phone had restart, a little notification on the bottom of the screen stated that my phone is now unlocked and the Tmobile Unlock app disappeared. I was able to Enable OEM Unlocking and grab the unlock code to submit for the bootloader unlock from Oneplus.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] creator2456:
I followed up, they doubled down on needing to wait for the email.

I did get unlock request numbers and the new rep said the original Al rep would continue to follow up.

It's just frustrating that some are getting it and others aren't.

That and I've been using unlocked phones since the Nexus 4 six years ago.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] treetolber:
Reading this thread again this morning really inspired me to try another attempt. So I went to the T-Mobile app chat session, got connected with a rep who I had chatted with last week and after attempting to sweet talk her as kindly as I could, she came back and said let me escalate this to my supervisors since I have been an "excellent customer for many years". After about 90 seconds she said go to your unlock app and attempt the permanent unlock, I did, it was a success. So had to reboot and after the reboot there toast notification appeared that read "device is permanently unlocked" and the unlock app disappeared from the app drawer.

My advice to others that haven't succeeded yet, keep trying. Persistence pays off.

*Edit*. Now I just have to submit for bootloader unlock bin.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] LLStarks:
Will they do this for customers adding or on JOD?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ryanwiggum:
Same with me, execpt the rep asked me to make 2 EIP payements (~$23) for the perm unlock

I can assure you that is garbage. I would be furious too. Did you get names?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PuTTYMySSH:
The way it worked for me was I called in and asked to get a temp unlock so that I could do manual updates. I didn't talk about unlocking bootloader or rooting or anything like that. I just asked them nicely to allow a temp unlock to do manual updates. They said sure and I was temp unlocked. Next day I try to do a perm unlock and it worked. I'm not sure if it was the person that helped me with it just giving me a perm unlock or what but it was super simple.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Wickidmasshole:
Not sure if it matters (probably does) but I'm on the military plan and they gave me the unlock on first ask

Hey everyone, just wanted to say that yesterday me and my wife purchased 2 of the OnePlus 6ts from TMobile on the EIP plan and today got them successfuly unlocked. It took talking to 3 different reps and finally got them to do it on twitter
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] hatlesssandman:
Got my one plus 6t TMobile version 2 days ago and I'm on jump on demand. Didn't think I had a chance for sim unlocking but I tried anyway. First tried TMobile app and was rejected. Then tried Twitter was to pay off device in order to unlock hence rejected. Then tried Facebook was completely honest with them. Got lucky and he unlocked it in the spirit of Thanksgiving holiday. I will copy paste my chat with the rep maybe it can help others:

Hi I recently got a one plus 6t and wanted to unlock the bootloader. I have been with TMobile with 6 lines for the past 5 years with perfect payment history. Can you please sim unlock my device so I can unlock the bootloader? I do not plan on using the phone with another carrier, however would like bootloader unlocked so I can root and block ads on my device. Thank you

Hi Hassan! Happy Thanksgiving! Congrats on your new OnePlus 6T! This is every techie's dream phone right now, am I right? Totally get what you're trying to do! The bootloader will be taken care of by OnePlus but the unlock is done by T-Mobile. I really appreciate your loyalty and having an amazing payment history with us! We do have an unlock exception for phones that are entirely paid off, meaning the remaining financed balance is paid to fully own the device. Is that an option you'd be interested in? *SoRaYi

Hi I'm on JOD program for the past 4 years or so and definitely don't want to give up that freedom. I have read on the forums that some representatives bypass the restrictions on a case by case basis. And I truly believe that my exceptional payment history on auto pay with 6 active lines for nearly 5 years should help my case. Your help and assistance in this matter would greatly be appreciated. The only reason I want the sim unlock is so I can unlock the bootloader, not to use it with a different carrier.

Alright man, you got me in the feels! It's Thanksgiving so let me check out your account and see what I can do for you :) *SoRaYi

I appreciate your honesty, Hassan! I understand your position and I think it's fair :)

Your wish has been granted! Please use the pre-installed T-Mobile Device Unlock app https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-14011. Have fun! :)

Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you! *SoRaYi

So yes they will unlock it if you are on JOD just depends on the rep

Did anyone get "please enter a valid IMEI" while trying to apply for the bin? I'm positive I'm entering the right one and making sure there are no spaces or errors and am still getting invalid IMEI. If anyone went thru the same thing can you shed some light?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Coderedpl:
I've tried different approaches a few times.

Twitter, 611, the T-Mobile app, and now trying Facebook and each time keep getting told the same thing. You must pay the device off. I almost feel like at this point they just look at the notes in the account and just read that off.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] sparky2029:
I kept getting told the same thing. I tried 3 different times before it worked. My girlfriend contacted them on twitter and that's when it finally worked. The guy she talked to said he usually won't do it so easily but it was Thanksgiving and he said he was feeling"festive" and that it was a day of giving. So we just got lucky I think.

...route your traffic through their servers?

i was just about to try out opera mini and read that they route your traffic through their servers.

great for performance increase... but not so much for privacy.

i'd rather sacrifice speed for privacy so am curious if there's anything out there at the moment that's better than MIE.

not sure if opera mobile is the same as mini with respect to routing traffic... so not sure if that's an option either (even if it doesn't, it's not currently an option unless they've agreed to upgrade folks to the new version when it comes out... i don't want to pay for it now only to be sol in a couple months when 9.0 is released).

just curious. thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] indiekiduk:
Can I say Safari? :p
[HTC Excalibur] Profezza:
Opera Mobile does not route through there servers. Check the past behavior to see if they usually give a free upgrade to current gen buyers.

I think the user-identifiable parts of Opera Mini data is encrypted on the servers, but if I was concerned about privacy, I would double-triple check that.

[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsoump:
Hello,

It's been a long time that I'm trying to find a solution with the notification issue that we all moto users have. I tried third party applications such as noLED, dynamic notifications, notifications manager, acDisplay etc but nothing gave me back the satisfaction of the simplicity of moto display that were breathing. As everyone knows Motorola - Lenovo decided to completely remove the option of breathing/pulsing the notification screen which means that there is no way to be informed except for waving the hand over the screen.

The funniest part of the whole story is that while you open the moto display app, you find a guide inside which in the first says to you '' Battery friendly notifications fade in and out so you 're always in the know''. It might be a good idea to inform motorola somehow to make a decision because she feels significantly confused about that.

So, trying to find a solution, I'm asking if there is any one of you who find a way to make the notifications ''be repeated''. The other two things that I thought is to find an old version of moto display that had the breathing mode enabled or to modify the script of the updated version.

I wish not to be alone to that golgotha!

Thank you

EDIT: Looking for root testers. The .apk file is in post #3.
[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsoump:
I need some root testers for a modified MotoDisplay.apk version by me.

I edited the code of the apk and I made a try to enable the ''breathing'' option in the main menu of Moto>Display> ''new tool''.
[Moto Z Themes, Apps, and Mods] tsoump:
This is my first trial MotoDisplay.apk. I hope to have appeared a new setting in Moto Display settings where you can enable the breathing mode. It is based on the Moto_Display_06.071.4_.apk update.

Need some root testers to install the app. (rename the MotoDisplay_tsoump_trial_1.apk to MotoDisplay.apk and replace it to system/priv-app/MotoDisplay/ )

I have tried so much to find a way to install a system .apk without root, but I couldn't. This is why I'm looking for root testers.

I'm looking forward to respondig me! :D

Thanks in advance!

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Lithesis:
Just unlocked my Poco. Since an account is associated with it, I need to unlock it. To unlock it I need to be connected to Internet. When I select my wifi network there is no keyboard to type a password. I have no service on Poco and recovery number was set to this phone number so I can't remove the device from Xiaomi account.

Any ideas? :D

Edit: Ok so I typed wifi pass in activate device input and copied it to wifi pass input. It connected, but to activate account I need mobile data. I have SIM card inside but no service. I have set a pin on SIM card maybe thats why?

I had same issue during associating phone with an account. I couldn't log in from my phone to mi account. Had to disable wifi and enable mobile data. Pretty autistic.

I solved wifi problem by setting up open wifi network.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Lithesis:
Yeah, drove to a friend who has phone with nano SIM card (my old one has micro) and managed to activate with his SIM card. I think I had no service because I had pin set up on SIM card while he didn't have pin set up.

There is something to display how the number is displayed ie. (###) ###-#### or ###-###-###

I haven't come across anything that says whether or not to display the name of the contact. If you could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

That could be the problem. All of my contacts are on my SIM card as I just got the phone about a week ago and haven't transferred them over yet. I'll see if that makes a difference. Thanks.

I have tried to factory reset the watch many times, and everytime it will fix it, but after a few days, same issue persists.

Sometimes it will receive app notifications, sometimes it can't even do that.

**Right now it shows in my bluetooth settings that the watch is connected(probly why Im getting notifications) . But again, no connection in app**.

Very frustrating as I won't be able to view any of my stats on the app at all.

Anyone else experiencing this?
[Amazfit] batia0121:
Since no one replied...

UPDATE:

I gave up on the iOS app, seems like it's just a persisting problem right now.

I managed to not lose any data by enabling the hidden app list, and paired my watch with my Samsung phone instead. So I didn't have to factory reset it.

And the Android app so far is working much better. i.e. Custom watch faces actually shows up in the app.
[Amazfit] lfom:
Make sure you have latest firmware on watch and Amazfit app on phone. Pair them properly or you may have problems with your activity data in the future (see thread about sync FAQ). If you still have issues, re-install Amazfit and enable the "Away alert" in watch Settings, it seems to make connection much more stable for me...
