I don't know if this was figured out or not but it's not that hard.... decompile the apk and make the changes. Recompile and drag and drop the original signature into the edited apk. Now place that app in the debugged firmware or whichever and flash. It should now work fine to disable oem.

Just got one of these boxes used, but being in canada I can't make an account to get past the activation, Am wondering if I need to find a friend to setup before I can do anything with it, I don't mind flashing a custom android or even linux rom, but heard that these things have locked bootloaders?

EDIT: I tried using multiple fake addresses and real addresses to create an account and all failed to verify unfortunately, so it seems like I might have a brick
[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] UnicornHub:
I just switched from ATT Note 9 to TMobile OnePlus 8 on Saturday. I have had one plus devices in the past which is why I decided to switch. I have been having issues with my text not always sending out, getting duplicates of messages sent to me and issues downloading mms. I went to TMobile and they guy had no clue and offered no solutions. I'm on the latest software. I turned off duel channel network acceleration which seemed to help the mas problem. I am on wifi 90% of the time and when I am not I'm on 5g/4g.

I did check other forums and I have seen mention of the mms issue but not fixes. I have never had an issue with a one plus devices so this sucks. It seems like as they start selling through more carrier the quality is going down.

Any advice would be helpful!

Oh and one extra question I am trying to figure out if I want to download nova lol. I usually download it on every device lol. What is everyone running?

[OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers] Monk4Life:
I've had the same exact issues as you, even using Google messenger with RCS support on/off. I found an older thread for the TMobile OnePlus 7t Pro McLaren where people where having the same exact texting issue. They said to create a new APN using IPV4 only and all other setting the same as the one in use, which I did. I still seemed to have issues after that (not as much) so someone else mentioned they swapped SIM cards and the issue went away. I ended up activating the sim card that came in the box instead of the one I switched over from my old phone and I don't seem to have the text message issues any more.

Hopefully one of those 2 things will help you out too.

I always use Nova Prime. I just can't live without the extra custom gestures and features it gives.

Also I use Google messages with chat on my OP 8 without issues.

Hi,

I have a friend with a wizard that also have the problematic alignment of the screen lost.

I am considering to order this kind of replace from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.es/LCD-Touch-Screen...ryZ41343QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

is this the correct hardware device?

thanks for the help

Rui
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xda2_haseeb:
I guess its right, i never tried or bought it from eBay but by the pic and description it looks all right but dont go on my advice wait for other to post too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] veda_sticks:
I would suggest that you dismantle your wizard first and check the ribbon cable on your phone matches yours

I have replaced the digitizer on my old wizard before and found that there was 2 different digitizers, each had a slightly different ribbon cable. The first didnt work at all but the second worked perfectly. Also i noticed that on both digitizers the strips on the cables didnt align properly with the board, however it was still possible to solder.

Make sure you have a soldering iron with a very fine point, its very figity to replace.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] x0101222:
Thanks.

yes I will do it first. My problem was to understand if this is the hardware component that makes the lost of align issue.

Nowadays we have to open the keyboard to recover the align values.

Thanks to all
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] veda_sticks:
Thats a very weird problem, it may be software related, a bug in the OS maybe?

If that is the case then backing up your phone then flashing with a rom of your choice may fix the problem (i would try that first before replacing hardware)

Personaly i would suggest the brightphone rom its clean and very fast, however you have to identify wether your phone is a g3 or a g4 and get the right rom. all in the upgrading guides
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] x0101222:
Make a search and you will find lots of posts with this problem.

It was present sincd the wm5, wm6, wm6.1, etc.

So, it's really hardware.... unhappily :(

o2 preorder

just select the phone and then :-

1.) maximise the upfront cost (think £760 is max)

2.) drop the contract period down to the minium 3 months (from36)

3.) finally drop the amount of data each month to the mimium ( it starst off at 10g )

some people say you can cancel the contract straight after it starts so only end up paying 799 but im unsure if thats accepted within the contract or just a lack of checks that allow it.

Im happy to pay the mimium as its only 3 months
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] RCJ89:
So the pre order deal for the headphones is now gone, due to them being out of stock. How are these out of stock already. Sony have really handled this situation so bad, in the uk only their direct website or o2 currently doing pre orders aswell. So by time carphone warehouse and vodafone have their pre orders all that is available is a free case not even another pair of cheaper noise cancelling headphones.

[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Aneres11:
Thanks - I worked it out in the end but then decided not to bother with it.

I had the Xperia 5 and did like the phone but the camera let it down. This looks to be improved greatly, but I’m still not sure. Think I will wait for real user impressions before deciding whether to go for it. :)
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Sensination:
You don't even have tpay 3 months. You can cancel the contract as soon as you recieve the headphones so in worst case scenarion you will pay £799 for the phone and £18 for contract.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
has yours shipped already? If its nevermsrp they ship pretty quickly. Debating on pulling the trigger on the purple one but it says pre order.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] augie7107:
I have a tracking number but it hasn't left yet. Guaranteed delivery by Thursday. I typed Wednesday in an earlier post because that was FedEx estimate but it won't make it by then. Sony Taiwan just changed their website from "coming soon" to "buy" so it must be released in Taiwan. I'm sure this will be the version I get. It is nevermsrp. I'll keep you posted.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
Sorry for the slight off topic, but do you intend on unlocking the bootloader/rooting when you get it? I hear mixed opinions as to whether this may result in some camera features being lost due to DRM partition being wiped, though the potential to backup etc.

I'm in O2 UK and hopeful mine will arrive 18th June.

We can discuss elsewhere though, but likely a question on many peoples minds!
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] augie7107:
I haven't unlocked the bootloader on a Sony device in years. I just don't see the value in it these days but of course that is my opinion. It isn't worth losing functionality or the ability to play DRM content. I very much appreciate the talent and benefits developers bring to the table via custom ROMs and flashed and tested for quite a few years but no longer. The phone comes operating fairly efficiently and I have been with Sony since the X1 in 2008 so I have grown to like the icons, skin etc. It's a shame they have discontinued many of the proprietary apps but based on their market share globally I can understand why.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
i went ahead and pulled the trigger. Its the only semi local seller i have found with the purple one. I'm in Austin so it shouldn't take that long to get here from Houston. I have gotten a few phones from nevermsrp and have not been let down yet.

[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] augie7107:
No shipment yet. I didn't even see the preorder tag line in the description. I bought every new Xperia flagship for the past several years on Ebay because the US never gets an early release and the carriers here aren't interested in Sony. I'll let you know if/when it ships.

If anyone is desperate for the device and doesn’t want to go down the o2 route, Clove Mobile has it in stock and looks like delivery as early as tomorrow. It’s full price, and no preorder bonus so no where near the value of the o2 deal... but for those who maybe missed the Sony official website preorders, this is an option.

[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Aneres11:

Mine is delayed from o2 so hoping you early orders get yours so you can post impressions. :)
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
Yeah I did some extra research and seems many people have that experience of late night notifications, on the day or even none at all and the phone just turning up! I ordered very early and believe I should be amongst the first get it without delay, I'll be sure to update here
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
It's coming today!

I received tarrif change emails at like 4am and whilst I didn't get a text/email yet about dispatch, the O2 order page has updated with tracking info and the DPD website says its arrived at the depot and will be delivered today.... Yes!!
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] WhiteHartMart:
My O2 order is on its way with DHL. Order despatch email only arrived this morning at 6:20am yet the DHL tracking shows it was collected yesterday afternoon - expected delivery today!! :)
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Sensination:
This is absolutely ridicolous!

I pre-ordered on O2 website on the 4th, 22 minutes after it went live.

Just called O2 Custmer Services on 0800 090 1808 and was told that its OUT OF STOCK, I'm not getting it anytime soon and it will be a long wait. They charged my card 5 days ago...

How is it even possible that they took pre-orders without physically having enough stock? What about the headphones then? Will there even be enough if I make a claim in two, three, five weeks or whenever O2 sends me the phone?

I think I'm done here and I'm cancelling my order. I guess it's time to switch to a different brand after 5 years with Sony :(
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Aneres11:
That’s frustrating. I ordered mine a week ago and they took the upfront cost straight way which was £760. Bit naughty really when they don’t have physical stock. Normally companies take the charge upon dispatch so I am feeling a bit frustrated that they’ve told you it will be a long wait. The website has said delivery within 3 weeks for a while now so I’m presuming mine will be two weeks given I ordered a week ago?

But who knows?! :p
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] WhiteHartMart:
That's pretty poor on O2's fault - I ordered on the 4th with them (but not until about 11pm I think) and mine has been sent. My payment method got charged really soon after so wondering if there was an error at their end they are trying to cover up. If they had allocated stock in date/time order you should have had it.

Their forum did mention all orders before the 8th June would have XM3s allocated - which is why they then changed the headphone model from the 9th. Therefore you should still qualify for them - unless they really have screwed your order up!?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Sensination:
Called O2 twice now, around 8:15am and now at 9:10am:

1st time: was told its OOS and I should wait, nothing can be done.

2nd time: Was told it's IN STOCK and rep placed another order for me. Straight after the call I got a text from O2 saying:

"Sorry it's taking longer than we hoped to send your order. We're still expecting more stock soon. We'll text you again as soon as we have delivery date."

I have absolutely no clue what's going on. Utter mess!

===========================

UPDATE:

Spoke to O2 for the 3rd time at 10am. Demanded clarity and confirmation that I still get the headphones.

Apparently the guy I spoke to 2nd time blantantly lied to me as system 100% shows its OOS and he also lied to me that he placed another order!

How the hell a company like O2 can mess it up so much?
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Aneres11:
Just an FYI, the phone is now listed with Carphonewarehouse and is in stock for delivery tomorrow. Deal does not include any bonuses (headphones), but worth knowing if people didn’t want to be stuck on o2.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Sensination:
Yeah but its £300 more than O2 and consideirng that I wanted to sell the headphones it would be £500 more....
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] Aneres11:

Pretty good I'd say. Telephoto is nice and so is standard (haven't tested extensively yet) though there is a fair bit of noise on the wide angle, even after toggling the correction setting. Very early days though.
