Also, with T-Mobile you are going to have to pay taxes on the phone. While purchasing direct from OnePlus online, most buyers won't have to pay taxes.

There's always issues with these carriers! :eek: OnePlus direct for the win! :cool:
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] NickMidd91:
what people need to realize is that this is all done so the phone will work perfect with the T-Mobile network the current phone that is out right now does not work hundred percent it works only 75% of the time so everybody needs to just calm down and get the one that works the best for you when if you buy it from the company that makes it then you're going to know that it's only going to work 75% of the time versus 100% of the time on the network. That's why the T-Mobile variant is just a better choice. People need to be smart and listen to what OnePlus and T-Mobile are saying it's a great device and it's the same exactphone is what they would sell on their website the only difference is the antenna is built for T-Mobile
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
Umm can you please elaborate on this propaganda
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
What he's trying to say is that the T-Mobile version has the 600 MHz spectrum/Band 71. The normal one does not have it.

But it's a stretch to say that without it, the phone would "work 75% of the time". You'd probably get 4G if you can't connect to the newest spectrum.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Actually, the unlocked version does have Band 71,as does the OP6, check OnePlus' website for yourself.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] cwalker0906:
Yeah um the one sold by one plus has band 71
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] djkinetic:
This is correct from what I know the 300 dollar credit is towards ur bill so long as you trade in an eligible device. It's independent of your EIP Balance.. When you do this the monthly payment for the device gets cut in half until u pay off the entire 580.. now if you do the trade in keep the 6t on the account for the first month...the 2nd month pay the remaining balance from the 580 you keep the bill credits till 300 is issued.. But u have paid the cost of the device.. Do not pay off the device during the first month or the credits will not be applied. Once u get to the 2nd month u can pay off the device keep your bill credits and request an unlock. Well 40 days on the network and u can request the unlock.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ram4ufriends:
That's what I said as well...
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] NickMidd91:
recent the T-Mobile variant is the great choice is because the antenna and software is built for their Network versus the antenna on the one sold on OnePlus. Com has a antenna that is meant to work with multiple Networks that antenna may think at times it is supposed to be on one network versus the next I tested this out because I have the OnePlus 6 and most of the time and tried to connect to multiple Networks and that makes it hard for the phone to stay connected to the network that you are actually on so in return the phone kept disconnecting from the advanced LTE network and not staying on that one and vice versa and low signal areas it was trying to connect to other networks that weren't even supposed to be connected to which makes it hard for you to even use the phone like a T-Mobile phone which does work without connecting to multiple Networks makes sense. So in return if you buy it from OnePlus it will not fully work with T-Mobile because of all these issues of it trying to connect to multiple Networks. I went to a place that had full service on LTE and my girlfriend's S9 plus connected perfectly to Tmobile cuz it was a T-Mobile variant but my oneplus6. No connection at all at the location because it's not a T-Mobile phone that's what the Reps would tell me and it was true because the same thing happened all over. This is why I stated what I said before

I haven't bought a phone from T-Mobile in years. All I buy are unlocked sim non T-Mobile phones, and I never experienced any problems ever
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bp328i:
I'm sorry but this is the biggest crock of s#!t I have ever read.

If anything of what you said was true please explain how my Google Pixel 3 XL works as good if not better than my T-Mobile LG v30, T-Mobile Note 9, or my iPhone XS Max I bought from T-Mobile.

A phone does not randomly tried to connect to multiple networks, in fact without a sim it won't connect to any network.

Do you work for T-Mobile or something and just trying to push the OnePlus they are selling?

I'm ordering one directly from OnePlus and picking one up from T-Mobile, once I have both I will gladly prove you wrong.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Please do (the speed tests,side-by-side/simultaneous) & post the results ! :good:

I'm w/you,I've had OP devices in the past & they do just as well as any other phone that T-Mobile sells.

This is just as with the LED Notification light,there's some who think if they ask the question a million times that one will magically appear. :rolleyes:

Odds are the same peeps believe the B.S. of the unlocked models underperforming on T-Mobile's newtork.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bp328i:
I will definitely post side-by-side speed results. Anyone that believes the OnePlus version will perform any differently on the T-Mobile network, I have a bridge that I will sell them.

I'm ordering from OnePlus in just under two hours and I'm walking into a T-Mobile store today with my LG v30 and jumping with that to the T-Mobile branded OnePlus 6t.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Enjoy the new phone!

(I'm still undecided), but, I checked a few stores last night in my area (3 of 10) & I was surprised all three have 'em ready to go today.

Probably not in mass quantities, but, still, that's better than what some of the other mfgs have accomplished in the past (HTC/LG)....
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] wilburblin:
It doesn't roam on to US Cellular though. Only T-Mobile branded phones do. Speaking as a Pixel 2 XL owner. Not that it's a huge deal but just wanted to point that out.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bp328i:
Yeah I got that but if you read his post he's saying the antennas are different and he was having a hard time staying connected to the T-Mobile network and it was trying to connect to other networks.

Roaming is something else entirely.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
I'm considering jumping from my v30 also, but I'm not sure it's worth it. No wireless charging, no fingerprint on the back, no AOD. I wanted to jump to the V40, but they want $200 up front. Not sure what to do.

I got the note 8 but don't really wanna trade that in...and if i do it will be my first oneplus phone ever...i like tmobile because they give broke people like me a chance to get flagship phones without a big down payment or without having to pay full price and I'm not on any contracts i really do want oneplus 6t and if i do jump with my note 8 ill only have to pay 39 bucks upfront decisions decisions....will this oneplus make me forget about my note 8 or will i miss sammy to much and be stuck regretting ever getting it?

I was debating going with the TM version, but dual-SIM capability is important to me due to lots of international travel. Especially with TM's free international texting, it'll be great to be able to keep two SIMs in the phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] AhsanU:
Returning my T-Mobile phone soon, apparently I have to go back to Times Square where I got the phone from! No other store will take it haha. I'm returning it because I don't want to deal with T-Mobile updates when Android 10.0 eventually releases.

But I did order it from OnePlus just now. Even with a restocking fee, I've paid less thanks to no taxes and no "activation fee" that may have been waived if I called in and complained. Better off buying it from OnePlus anywho.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] pvaldeben:
Well I always get the insurance and T-Mobile's insurance cost per month is 14$ for Jump or 15$ for 360. OnePlus insurance is 72$ for 12 months or 140 for 24 months.

So adding the cost of insurance at say 14 per month cost 336 now if you buy from OnePlus its 140 for the 24 months that is a saving of 196 $ and you get to keep your phone in case the 6T needs repair.

So NY there is no tax so I save 50$ plus Oneplus insurance is cheaper and save 196$ for 24 months and I get to keep my V20 that is worth about 130 on swappa and I can take this phone to another carrier if I decide to switch.

So total savings: 50 + 196 = 249. So buying from Tmobile only saved me 51 bucks and I cant leave Tmobile if I wanted and I had to trade my v20.

Buying from OnePlus cost me 51 more but im not suck with Tmobile, I get to keep my v20 that is worth more that 51 dollars and I can root if I need to.

Decided im gettin it from One plus.... Sweet

I returned my phone here in Philly and got my phone from Times Square. Don’t let them give you the runaround. It’s a T-Mobile phone and any T-Mobile store will take the return.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] pkadavid:
I didn't even bother with TM, especially since I don't have a phone to trade in for the $300. I ordered off of the OP site the second sales started.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
That's Bs.. Don't let them BS you. You can return it to any tmo store except a 3rd party store, but yet you can return a 3rd party store phone to corp store.

I had 4 stores under my belt unofficially and it's usually an "I don't WANT to deal with it" but sometimes it's they don't know they can.

If they won't do it, talk to the.store manager. If they still won't, threaten to call the DM.

I just picked up my T-Mobile version, and received my tracking number for my OnePlus version. I haven't checked the tracking number yet but as soon as it arrives I will run speed test all around town.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] tomg09:
Okay, so does anyone actually know if there is a

hardware

difference between the Oneplus version and the T mobile version? I understand the dual-SIM difference, but is that really a hardware issue - that is: are the copper contacts for the sim card missing from the board in the phone? Or is it simply switched off in the software? Is there actually an "antenna" difference from the post (shill?) above? Is the modem any different? Regarding the bootloader unlock requiring a SIM unlock...would that just be a software difference?

If software is the only difference, then I would think that the second SIM/whatever other differences could be reconciled by a simple software flash (once everything is unlocked).
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] pvaldeben:
Did you get the option to buy the 2 year protection plan from OnePlus or do you have to get it from T-mobile at 14 or 15 per month?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bp328i:
The one I ordered directly from OnePlus gave me that option when checking out.

The one I picked up from T-Mobile just carried over my Asurion coverage.

In no way, is any of what this guy is saying true. I have had the 5t on T-mobile since launch and I have traveled around and have zero issues. In fact when I get to talking to anyone about phones, and they have questions about OnePlus, I have them run a speed test. The 5t beats everyone. Also believing a rep from any carrier is like believing in the Easter bunny.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I went ahead & picked one up from T-Mobile today.

Was on the fence,but,they had a live demo model to test drive.

The much hated notch can be hidden,so,I said why not.

I've got 14 days for buyer's remorse to see if I can "settle" for OnePlus' recent hardware decisions.

If a suitable replacement/app works for the MIA LED notification light,I'll probably keep it.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TechOut:
They allowed me to unlock mine already I sent a pic of the receipt on TMobile help and they sent an unlock to the IMEI and the unlock app worked.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bp328i:
The notch on the OnePlus 6T is actually really good looking compared to my Pixel 3 XL, if it wasn't for the app nacho notch I would have probably return the Pixel. I haven't even turn the notch off on the OnePlus 6T yet I just use an all black wallpaper. That along with the dark stock theme and I hardly ever even see the notch on the OnePlus.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I was surprised the neighborhood store (one of the lower traffic ones in my area) had four in-stock when I called this afternoon & had sold at least two before that.

They even had the OP6T Carbon Fiber case in stock,(not a carbon fiber look fan myself,but,it was nice to see it available).

HTC never made such an effort,even in the heydays of the M7.

Not hatin' on HTC,but,if OnePlus can manage to get their foot in the door & stock the smaller retail outlets,one would think HTC really blew it & have no one to blame but themselves............

Shoulda took some of that RDJ $$$ & put it toward getting more product to market & available.............

Looking for others opinions. Do you think it's worth jumping from an LG v30 to the OPO 6T?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
If you like LG phones (I do),I'd stay put.

IIRC,all LG V30's can be rooted,so,you should be able to mod your V30 as you like,if you wish.

For that reason,I'd stay w/the V30.

I just got the OP6T hrs ago,it's a nice phone,but,if I had the V30,I'd stayed w/it.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TheFuzz:
Have to say after much thought, I'm sticking with my V30. My biggest reason is the improved low light camera now. Since the big update we got that changed it to the"ThinQ" the camera is really great.

Over Halloween I took a bunch of shots and did a side by side with an iPhone 8+ and a Galaxy S9 and this phone blew them away in low light.

Also, I've got a ton of music and photos I keep on my phone so having a micro SD card is another big thing.

I ordered my OnePlus 6T last night on release day. With normal ground shipping, taxes and whatever other fee's the total came out to just under $80.00 USD.

Once I get the device, I will report back here for Bootloader Unlock/TWRP/ROM related info. (Providing any flashable ROM's or recovery managers are out and stable.)

If you have anything you would like me to test, please message me. I will try to answer any questions I can to see what sets the T-Mobile sold version from the Direct-From-OEM version.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dhilanpatel15:
Something was slowing my phone down so i did a factory reset, and after that I haven't been able to access any cellular network.

The phone originally had an SM-G935F motherboard but it some issues and so I replaced it. Now it has the SM-G9350 one.

It can read the number on the sim card but says "No network connection" (was working fine prior to the reset). When I try searching for networks it comes up with an error. Sim card status shows - Service Sate: Radio off

I've tried flashing a couple different firmwares through odin but still had the same issue.

I took it into a shop who said they tried resetting/replacing the network antenna but had no luck.

When I go into service mode it shows: MIPI Device Fail. What does this mean? Is it a hardware issue? Or has this happened because i've used a different models motherboard?

I downloaded and installed the Pixel 3 Camera APK to my Pixel 2XL. Once it is installed, it opens and it works great. The only issue seems to be that when I close the camera app, the APK either drops out or something, as the Pixel 3 features are no longer available the next time I use the camera. Is this a known issue or is there something I missed in the installation process?

[LG K20 Plus Questions & Answers] Tofor:
Okay. I went through this a whole lot with this phone, and on almost every custom ROM it has. Lineage ROM is the only one that has worked for me right after install. I'm not sure why it does this as the APN settings that comes with the Roms are exactly correct. However you will not be able to get your full service until you manually add the APN settings in yourself. You can delete the 2 other APN's if you want. It really makes no difference. But you will literally have to make a new APN with the exact same settings as the 2 original ones in order for your DATA and MMS settings to work. Once you hit the "save APN" button you should see the 4g or LTE symbol pop on and everything will work just fine. Good luck. Let me know if you still have trouble.

After using native gestures on OnePlus 6 and Note 9 (One Hand Operation+) I'm 100% sure I will use gestures instead of navigation bar even if I have to give up Nova Launcher, but so far all the youtube videos I've seen there is no gesture to switch to last app which is something I use very often.

I was hoping I didn't have to install another gesture app on top of native gestures

Am I missing something is there a gesture to jump QUICKLY to last app? Or you have to swipe+hold/wait+swipe+tap everytime you want to go to previous app?

Could at least knuckle gestures do that or they're just for screenshots, split-scren and launch apps?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] AndiThebassman:
Up until now I haven't found a way to quickly switch between the last 2 apps. Hope they will include a new gesture with a future update

I ended up purchasing the app "edge gestures", previous app works really well on the Note 9 if I enable the "force previous app" option and it uses a faster animation as well, what's on the screenshot is all I wanted that is missing on native gestures, I'll see how it goes on Mate 20 pro I hope system doesn't kill the "edge gestures" app every few minutes

EDIT: I was forgetting about google assistant, I guess I'll set tap and hold for that as I will disable the option to launh google assistant with native gestures so it doesn't interfere with the edge gestures app

EDIT 2: okay I think "oneplus gestures" app will be better if ot doesn't interfere with native gestures from bottom center
