Still why I don't buy any device that doesn't have Lineage support... However what are you going to replace it with? Going to go buy another flagship? Have you glanced through other's privacy policies? This stuff is pretty boiler plate at this point, it's CYA. Not that I'm defending it, because it shouldn't be like that, but in today's "sue happy world", and "everything needs to be connected", guess what? The solution would be just to remove this these services, there are tons of posts of which OnePlus services to remove if you want to stay on OOS and protect your privacy.

So back to the replacement, lets take a Samsung, those are popular....., have you glanced at their privacy policy, because it's similar link

I didn't go over entirely, and I'm sure there's more details, but I'm guessing OnePlus's blurb, looked something similar to this (From Samsung's Website):

In addition to the information you provide, we may collect information about your use of our Services through software on your device and other means. For example, we may collect:

Device information - such as your hardware model, IMEI number and other unique device identifiers, MAC address, IP address, operating system versions, and settings of the device you use to access the Services.

Location information - such as your device’s GPS signal or information about nearby WiFi access points and cell towers that may be transmitted to us when you use certain Services.

Voice information - such as recordings of your voice that we make (and may store on our servers) when you use voice commands to control a Service. (Note that if we work with a third-party service provider that provides speech-to-text conversion services on our behalf. This provider may receive and store certain voice commands.)

I'm not new to android or privacy by any means.

This kind of obscure language is no mistake or ctrl c/v standard.

All of these are poored over by lawyers on mass.

.

It is for this reason I exclusively run custom rims & mods and a majority of my devices are root/xposed with multiple layers of privacy in mind.

.

There used to be a much bigger crowd of developers and possibilities...

But we seem to be a dying breed.

.

I'm deeply saddened at the lack of true device level privacy or the concern for it.

And no

You'll not catch me trusting Google or an oem.

I barely trust open source.

.

Any links to further improve safety security and privacy on an Android device would be appreciated
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] liam_davenport:
If you think what the 6T collects is bad wait till you hear about Google.. Android is just a glorified data collection OS.. All they care about is profiling from us and learning everything to target ads and sell to 3rd parties after all Google is an Ad company.. If you want privacy compile AOSP and use MicroG avoid all Google services and use as much FOSS apps as possible.

Lineage also collects weird data like what device you installed on, Carrier etc.. Not sure why it needs this but I don't run it for that reason.

So they can get an idea of which devices to develop for and their user base.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] OhioYJ:
As soon as you install Lineage it asks if you want to share / participate in this program? You don't have to share this information. If you overlooked it the user can disable this sharing in the settings. They don't try and hide it at all.

I also don't know of any Lineage builds / trees that are hidden unlike other ROMs that are popular. So everything is out in the open.

Lineage has always been my first choice, so maybe I'm biased?

Intrusive TOS suck big time, but, unfortunately, if you have a email address or cell phone, use the internet in any way shape or form, forget about any sense of privacy..

I make sure I dont do anything "iffy" on my cell phone; never use it for banking or bill paying, so I feel a little less paranoid, but there is really NO WAY, aside from not having an email address/cell phone/internet connection to keep your life from some prying eyes..

i trust open source, if there is a doubt with the code, anyone can check (not saying everyone does that).

Google service, oneplus, etc ... on the other hand are completely locked and you have no way to see what it really does.

Btw, i switched because of the much better battery and performance i get without these spyware constantly running, not much about privacy... Still use google.com everyday so they aren't missing anything :laugh:

The only one you have to agree to is the first one. The rest you can decline and still setup your phone. I agree with Micro G but, if go a step further and install NanoDroid. It comes with replacement Google apps and GPS and all sorts of things to disconnect you from Google but have a functioning phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
False. Google does not sell user data to third parties, or to anyone. It's never even been considered. Unfortunately due to a mix of people not understanding how technology works and assuming that every "tech company" operates in exactly the same way this particular piece of fake news just won't die. There are plenty of terrible things they actually do nowadays, better to focus on those anyway
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Paz9:
so much this

every manufacturer has some sort of logging / reading data.

root, and monitor everything that leaves your phone - block apk's that shouldnt be running - or create firewall rules in the iptables to block applications from accessing certain sites / internet.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] GroovyGeek:
This argument would make Kellyanne Conway proud. Yes, Google does not sell user data directly. But it does so indirectly every day it is in business. By allowing advertisers to target ever smaller slices of the population and track them across websites they ARE providing advertisers with user data.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
A truly moronic reply that shows you have no idea what you are talking about. Have your even seen the advertising interface to Google's ad products? Obviously not because you just described Facebook's, not Google's! ?????

I've been trying to wrestle with this problem exclusively for the last couple of days.

I think our common experience is we all can get past the loading screen. The progress bar does not fill at all, and the app crashes immediately.

By default, the Huawei App Gallery's location is set to China. When I decided, finally, to log in my device the location switched to my country (Philippines). I decided to give ML another go and for the first time, the progress bar filled to about 75% before crashing again. Progress?

Meanwhile, I've been bombarding the support team via e-mail and FB with feedback from this experience.

The struggle continues... Hoping for a solution soon.

My previous phone was saying on the lock screen "Fast charging" and I was able to see two lightnings on battery icon in a same time so I knew immediately when fast charging was engaged.

[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] engineer000:
is the original charger fast charger?
[Nokia 7.1 Questions & Answers] PsychoTribe:
When you plug the charger it takes some time for the phone to detects if it is fast charging. Then it displays charging rapidly. And after a certain percent of battery charged it quit the rapid charging i thing (50-60% i think but i could be wrong). As of my knowledge of how lithium battery is charged this is usually done to prevent overcharging and popping the battery as a popcorn. I am not sure if this is exactly the case just an assumption based on my very few times observing the charging (im new with the phone). Never payed much of attention on that on my previous quick/fast/rapid or whatever charging phones.

USA tmobile Prepaid SIM Tzones WAP settings for Wing? Is there such a thing?

Searching through google only brings up the 5.99 proxy settings, which I have and works great with my regular monthly plan.

However, for my Prepaid SIM, which I occasionally pop into my Wing, can't get Tzones to work with Any settings. With non-PPCs, I can use the limited Tzones with the Tmo Prepaid sims.

If it is not possible to use the tmo Prepaid WAP on a PPC/Smartphone, 2nd question is, How does the PIE browser identify itself to the web as a Smartphone? and can this browser id be changed?

ps: I'm sure this has been asked before, but all searches point me to the 5.99 proxy, which does not apply to the Prepaid SIMs.

I wanted to root my OP6 and entered fastboot mode.

I successfully flashed the bluespark img from Terminal and installed the Bluespark ZIP file from this link

After rebooting, it got stuck on the bluespark logo and when I tried to reboot the system, the phone got stuck on the Bootloader unlocked screen.

I tried to repeat the process and this time flashed the TWRP lastest version. Now its stuck on the TWRP logo screen.

Then I browsed around and found these stock boot recovery img files,

After flashing the latest one, the phone got started properly but everytime I restart the phone, its getting stuck on the Bootloader warning screen and the recovery options are still stuck at TWRP image.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rriegner:
On the lock screen and ambient display, the display doesn't respect night mode. It is always in "day" mode. Once it unlocks, it fades to night mode. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix to enable night mode on the lock screen/ambient display?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rriegner:
Bump. Has anybody else noticed this?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mpetruzz:
From several reviews Ive seen the fingerprint sensor needs to flash at max brightness to work then the screen will go to whatever brightness you've selected
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] rriegner:
It's not the brightness that's the issue though, it's the fact that it's not tinted yellow for night mode.

The brightness flash is still unnecessary though. When registering a fingerprint, the rest of the display is dim, while the green circle is full brightness. There's no reason they can't do the same thing on the lock screen.

While verifying that fact though, I noticed that the fingerprint registration page disables night mode as well, so I guess it is a fingerprint thing after all. I still think it could be implemented better. I wonder if it's possible to counteract the tint from night mode on just the fingerprint sensor light.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
I've found the same. A bit annoying. There should be an option in night maybe to disable fingerprint when night mode is on

The $300 off deal ends tomorrow so please repost, share, and comment as much as possible

I read the Do Not Buy the T-Mobile OnePlus 6t post and concluded, like I am sure many of you did, that I would need to pay full price for the unlocked version from OnePlus to get the freedom I wanted. Then I read this on androidpolice.com

"T-Mobile versions of the phone will be carrier and bootloader locked as expected, but a mechanism for their unlocking is described. Once devices are paid off in full and utilized on the network for at least 40 continuous days, they can be carrier unlocked, at which point you can request an unlock token for bootloader unlocking from OnePlus. The phone can also be paid off early even if you elect to use the payment plan for the $300-off promo, and bill credits will continue to be received"

Source: https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...mobile-version-restrictions-bootloader-betas/

and subsequently chatted with a T-Mobile rep(screenshots below) and have changed my mind. The Do Not Buy the T-Mobile OnePlus 6t post completely mischaracterized the situation and failed to acknowledge many key points. The only good reason to buy the T-Mobile is for the bill credits and I believe the "drawbacks" are worth the $300.

The supposed drawbacks are as follows.

1. Only one version. Mirror Black 128gb

Do not know how you could use 128gb let alone twice that, and the frosted black scratches more easily anyway(JerryRigEverything's video)

2. You can't get the $300 bill credit if you pay off the phone immediately.

Incorrect. Despite multiple sources online saying otherwise, you can pay off the phone and still get bill credits according to a T-Mobile rep I spoke with. (screenshots below) The rep states that you should wait till your first bill cycle to pay off phone to be safe(I will be doing so) but even if you pay immediately and don't receive the credits its nothing a call to customer service wouldn't fix.

3. You have to wait 40 days to carrier unlock

Incorrect. Carriers will keep their customers at all costs. If you call customer service saying you are leaving the country they will happily unlock the phone early.

Source:

https://www.androidauthority.com/t-mobile-oneplus-6t-bootloader-unlock-922051/

4. Have to wait 1-2 weeks for bootloader unlock token

No argument here, I can wait 2 weeks to save $300.

5. Only one sim slot.

It appears that the only difference is the sim tray, not the actual slot hardware so there will almost certainly be sim tray modding tutorials. Apparently, the device has a different modem with only one IMEI so dual SIM may not be possible at all but this is still unresolved and most likely hackable.

I just spent like an hour putting this together so show me some love and get this higher then the Do Not Buy the T-Mobile Post.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] 999blb:
I actually ended up getting my OnePlus 6T from T-Mobile today. I had my old OnePlus One, which I did love when I used it, but I felt that this trade in deal was too hard to pass up.

I was talking to my store's representative during my purchase, who told me that I wouldn't get my credits early if I paid it off early. I generally did leave the store feeling a bit unsure, so before I even unboxed my 6T, I ended up calling in myself and the representative I spoke with told me otherwise--that if you pay off early once the promo has actually been approved, then you'll continue to receive the credits overtime and that it would ideally be 40 days with service before I could request a SIM unlock.

To defend more your points more concerning the Mirror Black 128GB version: The T-Mobile variant is the version with 8GB of RAM, which is future proofing the device and overall going to make for better memory management. I ordered dBrand skins this morning to both customize my phone's look and to protect the phone's glass back. Only an extra $10-$15 to do so.

I truly sat on the promo and thought if it would be worth it or not, and once I saw it was ending tomorrow, I deemed it was worth it myself. Getting $300 off, which is only $50 less than what my the One cost back in 2014, is an amazing deal for a device like this. I've enjoyed my few hours with the 6T and am excited to use it now over my Galaxy S8.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dameon87:
Agreed. People are so early to cry out in panic without bothering to do the research. Hopefully in the next week or so we will start seeing actual development pop up supporting the TMobile variant. I bought the TMobile variant and aside a few updates and minor hurdles I'm more than happy. This is an awesome device, unlocked or not.

People just need to stay patient and let us do what we do best here at XDA. Mod the **** out of stuff and make all kinds of fun stuff.

Now maybe the developer in me is saying this, but I welcome the challenge. I like having things to work on.

Let's do it up right and drop the constant slew of negativity.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gungrave223:
It is a good deal... Unless you have JOD... When I went to the store to buy mine the system wouldn't let me finance with the promo under my JOD plan... And I would have to change to the basic ONE plan... So I took a hard pass on that...

The JOD plan was a truely "Uncarrier" plan that I plan on keeping for as long as possible.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
I got the phone the second day it came out. I traded a LG G6 that was almost 2 years old. I held off the Samsung phones for a good reason..

This is a killer deal. And not a lot of casual people are taking it for granted. Maybe because there's no gimmicky marketing to shove down their throats.

I will be definitely be paying this phone off early.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Free4ever2:
This deal was perfect for me. My old N6 was due for a replacement, and I have a grandfathered T-Mobile plan that I'll never drop. As soon as I saw the $300 off promotion for trading my old N6 for the Oneplus 6T, I jumped on it immediately. Where else can I get a SD 845, 8GB ram, 128GB storage, 6.4" AMOLED, 3700mAh phone with specs similar to flagships for $300?

I knew going in that the bootloader was locked, and I may have to wait two years until I paid off my phone before I could unlock it. Every single phone that I have ever owned until now was unlockable and rootable, but this deal was too good to pass. I was considering paying of the phone early and maybe getting it unlocked in a few months. But after a few attempts I got T-Mobile to sim unlock my phone, and I expect that OnePlus will send me the unlock file within two weeks. So this deal is great if you already are with T-Mobile and have an old eligible phone lying around. And who really cares if the T-Mo variant comes in shiny black, it will end up in a case anyway.
