[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
I was able to activate my esim on tmobile when people were going through the 'back door' method of not ever mentioning that they want to activate the esim. There has been threads on Reddit that they are no longer allowing that and that customer service is catching on and no longer allowing activations of esim on tmobile.

You do not need another physical sim from another carrier as your phone will work fine with just tmobile esim. Having that physical sim available will allow you to pretty much go with any other secondary carrier that you want to (just can't use both at once)

As far as the overseas when roaming, that I have to defer to as I don't (or haven't) traveled overseas yet. I would 'imagine' that it would work just as if you had a physical sim in your phone as many European carriers already use esim and is not a new technology over in the European countries.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] NICEGYPT:
Did you notice any difference in the signal reception? Is it the same as the physical sim, better or no different? Thanks :)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] brandonpa:
I haven't noticed any difference in signal.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] exdroid1:
After 5 or 6 times trying using different methods (Twitter, FB, app/site chat, etc.), I finally convinced a rep to activate my eSIM a couple of days ago. It does take some massaging to get them to agree to it. Most of the time I was told there wasn’t a way to activate on postpaid. In the end, I experienced faster loading times on sites and faster downloads my video and podcast apps.

Wtf lmaooo
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Has anyone gotten it yet? Has newer build then 9.0.11...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Dark Nightmare:
The build numbers have always been higher, actual software included has not always been a full list though.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Just curious. Wonder what oos version is
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] polzovotel:
Interesting - the page seems to have wrong information . My current build is 181121 that is not even mentioned on this page. Not sure why. And I did not get OTW (as for now)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] l2icky:
This is my build as well... I got an OTA a few weeks ago. It just hit and my phone was finishing before I realized it. I didn't see any release notes.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EmperorX:
Same
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Same. I honestly wonder if there was an update released. The information on that page is all wrong, but I thought I'd post it anyway just in case.

This is really weird now, this is my conversation with tmobile help, my phone is DEFINITELY NOT unlocked! ,
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jnclocker:
Yeah it's a weird numbering system that doesn't match what we have on the phones. Has anyone received the latest update?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Can't find anyone on Reddit or anywhere else that has received it. My ongoing conversation with tmobile just keeps circling back to them telling me that I'm running "unreleased software".. absolutely bizarre
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jnclocker:
Customer service are the most clueless people. I only call them for phone upgrades.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
They literally think that "Oxygen OS" is a custom ROM! Lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
SMH..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] iron@ss:
According to this article it is a real T-Mobile (USA) firmware and it did start rolling out 2 days ago.

T-Mobile OnePlus 6T New Update rolling Now: A6013_34_181228

(Thanks to kate on Android Forums for the heads up)

However, after scouring the web I can find noone who has actually received it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EmperorX:
Wow... Usually TForce is on point. This is highly discouraging.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Same here.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Now they want to give me a new phone. Lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] iron@ss:
Now TmoNews has jumped on the bandwagon with this article...

T-Mobile announces new OnePlus 6T software update

Which does at least admit... "This update is listed as being released on January 3, but it doesn’t appear to be rolling out widely quite yet."
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] l2icky:
One article said 1.4GB but said it was for some roaming partners... I'd assume that means radios...1.4GB seems awfully big for just some radio updates. Seems like those didn't used to be all that big.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
That's a pretty huge update, there has to be more to it than that.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FCORivers:
I read 1.512 GB which would make it all the radios in the world and then some.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
I wish I could have afforded the intl version, and OnePlus learns from.this and negotiates doing their future devices and updates Apple/pixel style.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DrRyder:
Can confirm that I, too, have not gotten any updates yet. I checked multiple times. Phone shows I am on version A6013_34_181121 for TMO USA, but that version is not listed on the OnePlus Updates site on Tmobile...sooo I have no idea what's going on lol. I just wish we could have the same updates as the international version at the same time, but that would be a perfect world.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] NickMidd91:
TMobile told me the resion we can't have the regular software is because they have to put there software in the OnePlus software so the phone will work better connecting to the network and roaming partner's all over the world. Think that is a lam exuce for not giving me the updates for 30-50 days all the time.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pomacat:
They check the software updates to make sure it's good on their Network, carrier approval. That's why the wait. If you know anything about that it's understandable.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] NickMidd91:
Yes they do but the problem with that is they also mode the software to have there flaver of network enhancements
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] polzovotel:
This has nothing to do with the issue we have now - they mentioned the wrong firmware version on their site as current, they say they pushed a new version on Jan 3 but nobody actually got it. Their support teams claim that the current version we have on our phones is not supported by TMobile (that is 100% BS).

All this together called incompetency.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] l2icky:
I don't disagree. It's just humanity.

I've worked in a tech call center for Sprint. Not everyone is cut out for it and there is a lot to learn if you're not very techy, but that's the place that called you back for a job.

It would be nice the other way, but I think most folks that have been on XDA and have any experience with rooting/radios/etc, likely know a bit more than those techs.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Pomacat:
They are definitely screwed up
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaMag:
I just had a chat with T-Mobile Help on Twitter and was told I am running unsupported OS and that's why I am unable to upgrade my software. I went through the routine of sending screen shots of what their support page shows and what my current version is and they are stumped. Imagine that. By the way I am running the stock November Security update.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DrRyder:
I get that bud. I made ROMs for phones before, so I know a bit about that. But, there's no reason why we are so far behind on updates. The unlocked version is on what? 9.0.7? We're on 9.0.1 and cant even get updates listed on the site because they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

If I had the money, I would have just bought the unlocked version, but I didn't. So, that's on me. But these kinds of issues have been an issue with all phones for a long time and you'd think they'd have a better way to do it by now that didn't mean people were going without the latest updates for so long.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
Same here. I definitely wish that I could've gotten the unlocked version. This is ridiculous that they don't recognize their own software. Not sure about this decision anymore.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] fogame:
Unlock it with TForce then load the international rom. That's what I did.

TForce is good if you explain what you want to do.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] AarSyl:
Tried. They weren't having it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] fogame:
Hmm....I had to try multiple times. I did tell them I was leaving the country for 8-10 months though.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikeeh76:
So I contacted a TMo rep via TMo App and was going to get the phone unlocked. The rep also has the 6t and was on the same build from Nov. update.

Was about to get the phone SIM unlocked until he mentioned that the Tmo 1 year warranty will be pulled/voided and instead I have to go through OnePlus directly for the duration of the 1 year manufacturer warranty. Have any of you been told this?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
TMobile warranty will be voided if you unlock the bootloader.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Hey buddy, long time no see! You have a 6T now too?!

---------- Post added at 05:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

International is on 9.0.11 now. Or for some of us (like me), Open Beta 2. T-Mobile 6T user here also.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
No it won't
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
I know it won't but they think it will lol

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

Yep and the Razer phone 2
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flyinace2000:
Anyone actually gotten this update yet?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Haven't found a single soul who has gotten yet
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheKnux:
Nice man. Hit me up on Telegram. [MENTION=4275707]TheKnux[/MENTION]
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] whouston.jr:
I don't recall any updates since the one we got that added audio tuner to Bluetooth headsets. I think that was December. I checked my phone and have been checking it for the past few days. I've been on A6013_34_181228 since I first time I read this post a couple days ago. Does anyone know if there's a way I can see when my phone took the OTA to get it to A6013_34_181228?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] polzovotel:
Hmm.. interesting. All of us are on A6013_34_181121. Are you saying you have A6013_34_181228 on your phone right now?!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] whouston.jr:
No.... I'm saying I'm blind and seem to have transposed some numbers. HaHa.

That and the fact that I don't even see A6013_34_181121 on the TMO support DOC. I understand why a carrier version could have a different firmware version so perhaps I should be more patient and read better. I will say, the updates thus far have been far more frequent than those from the likes of Samsung or LG.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] l2icky:
Got it this morning. It's only 90mb. Still Nov security patch. 9.0.2
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
The update is being released now check your phones.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Caltinpla:
Yes, same here.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] FCORivers:
Newest update is only 90.6MB
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jdidtht:
Got it just came through by itself.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
No December security patch is disappointing
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] marcmarshall:
I just received the update. Oddly it started to download and install without any prompt. I didn't realize it until my phone rebooted!

Does anyone know if there is anything else besides increased roaming partners in the update?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Not that I have found. Still Nov security patch as well.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DevilDaHusky:
same thing happened to me this time around like the last update.it looks like my phone crashed and restarted on its own and then tells me I got the update. Oxygen OS 9.0.2 it shows.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EmperorX:
Same thing here... Woke up and my phone had restarted overnight and was totally locked. Not cool.

Not cool that the updates restart your phone by themselves and not cool that the update is lame AF.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Gytole:
My phone rebooted during a conference call. So that was cool.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaMag:
My phone says that there is a installation problem try again no luck
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] stevessvt:
No security update. No missing features. Feel like T-Mobile is just throwing us a bone to shut us up. Worthless update.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] strictlyphat:
Turn off updates in Dev settings. Sucks they can push and install without accepting. I'm staying on intl and nevr going back. Can't wait til op7 and I buy direct. I hope TMobile sells 0 OnePlus devices on next launch.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Judging by the fact that my data hasn't cut out since the update I'm guessing it was just an update to fix the connection issues caused by the "non existent" 1121 update that they pulled.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] omariscal1019:
Got it and after it restarted my phone and open the unlock app i press permanent unlock and boom it unlocked.:good:

Im able to check the oem unlock. Now for 7 days until flashing.. lol!.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DrRyder:
Restarting to install the update now myself...and then going to reset my battery optimization settings since they don't seem to save.

What have you guys, who have been able to unlock your phone, said to get it done? I'm still paying on mine and will be for a couple years at the current rate so I never even thought to ask about unlocking it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EspElement:
Did you so anything to get that? I tried. No luck :(. Just updated and pushed the unlock button. Fail
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] omariscal1019:
No just that i open the unlock app right after it restarted then it ask me to restart phone and boom
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaMag:
Was your device rooted when you got the update? I'm getting a error saying installation problem
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] omariscal1019:
Nope i wasnt even sim unlocked.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Rooted devices can't update unless you have the full ota which TMobile isnt supplying
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] twinnfamous:
Try the msmtool for update issues.

Also for permanent unlock in T-Mobile unlock app
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Wow, if only I could get so lucky!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] PapaMag:
So I unrooted my device and got the same thing. Do I have to lock the bootloader too?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EspElement:
I tried what you did and no fortune... That is so awesome for you!!!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Once you unlock you lose all ota function my friend. You can try to relock but will most likely end in boot loop just use the msm tool. It relocks the bootloader while keeping everything clean. Unrooting may leave files altered and trigger verity checks
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kjjm:
It appears this update has broken Google Pay. My payment methods have been disconnected and I can't add them back. The app says that the phone has been rooted or altered. Anyone else experiencing this? (T-mo/stock)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmaster121:
Yep, I have a stock phone as well.

Same issue.

And I was forced to update. Phone rebooted on its own...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] coolmaster121:
Yep
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikeeh76:
So I got my update earlier this morning. I have build 181121 and I am now on 181228

My Google pay is still I'll intact after the update
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] omariscal1019:
Here is my history on from the unlock app to show device unlock i guess from trying to much lol!!!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] creator2456:
Updated this morning.

Google Pay still working.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kjjm:
What do you mean by still working - have you tried payment with it or checked that your accounts are still linked?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Update broke Google play certification..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DAVECGC:
Same - Google pay functional after 181228 update
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kjjm:
Weird - I don't have anything under Play Store version on my settings screen.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mokash34:
The multitasking interface has been tweaked. The cards in recent app view are much larger than they were before the update.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Literally can't update any apps right now. This is infuriating. I'm just asking them to unlock the phone for me.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Strange, I don't notice it, but it might be different. Lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] alon_tuch:
I made payment after update. On Google pay, in store at CVS (nfc) no issues. Never rooted phone though, kept it as is, except TMobile allowed me to unlock phone.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] spg900ny:
I got the update earlier today. Usually at the end of the day I have 20-30% battery left. I've done typical work day usage today and I'm at 4%. I hope tomorrow is better, because one of the things I love most about this phone is the battery life. Going to be extremely disappointed if this is the new reality.

EDIT: Gave full charge, rebooted, seems to be behaving now. Will see how tomorrow goes. I did notice my 6T has also lost Google Play Protect certification. Fun.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kjjm:
Huh. I have been able to update a couple of apps since the update, but still no Google Pay. This is messed up. Had a chat with T-mo about it on Twitter and they've escalated it and will get back to me on Friday. We'll see...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
So apparently only apps that require certification can't be updated like Netflix?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] joemossjr:
Bro whatever there telling you don't listen. There's something wrong if your certification is messed up best bet a factory reset. Yes if your not certified Netflix won't update. But you should be certified so I would backup your stuff and do a factory reset. Everything should be good.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Thanks, I know you are correct. But it's infuriating that an official update would screw up my certification.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Lol TMobile recommended a factory reset, then "without logging into any account's check and see if Google pay works". I asked " how do I check Google pay without logging into it".... Silence
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EmperorX:
Cool my device is no longer play protect certified.

Thanks T-Mobile!

Fml

Read this on the OnePlus forums and it's so spot on:

"Mine just got updated. It's not certified for me either.

So, let me get this straight. T-Mobile delays Oneplus's updates because it wants to have control and make sure that the updates are safe. Then pushes an update that doesn't even have the option to be delayed and restarts my phone for no reason and the update is only to enable some random option that nobody asked for (while the android version is miles behind the original Oneplus rom and is lacking key security updates and also lots of features) and this random updates breaks everybody's phone!

Good job!"
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EmperorX:
I'm going to amend my original post:

My body is NOT ready.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
They are on Twitter offering to replace my phone.. SMH. So it can force the same update on me and reintroduce the problem. Lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] KMHartford:
They said the tmo version would get slower updates, 9.0.2 with no Dec Google security while international version is up to 9.0.11 with Dec Google security. Unacceptably ridiculous tmo ?????
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
What do you guys think, should I let them swap out my device or just wait for an update to hopefully fix certification?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] EmperorX:
Well if you swap it you'll just have the same problem. This is just a really stupid situation and they've really dropped the ball on this on all fronts.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
That's basically what I told them. They kept trying to direct me to contact OnePlus directly even though a changelog stating only " Enable support for domestic roaming partners" seems pretty tmobile specific. Lol
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] vickpick:
My phone got the OTA update today while I was using the GPS to drive through DC. No questions, just started installing. WTF. And did it use my LTE to download? Because I haven't been on wifi for a couple of days because I've been travelling. This is a really messed up way to push the updates.

Lol you're the winner
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryano89:
Same
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] bassic:
Same here. I just got the OTA tonight, I went to use my phone and was surprised to see a message indicating that I was updated.

I read some reports here that people lost the play protect certification but I don't even see that listed under my play store settings.

I was able to update several apps after the system update, as I have my settings configured such that I have to manually initiate app updates.

As far as I can tell there are no issues. I guess I'll find out tomorrow if my battery life is affected as some people have reported. Speaking of that, one of the apps that updated via the play store was "Device Health Services" (com.google.android.apps.turbo) which apparently calculates remaining battery life.

I'm unlocked and got my token flashed, and after this crap that I'm reading I will just go ahead and convert to the international ROM.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] DarkAgent:
Also not certified here...
