Any difference in T-Mobile reception vs International version from Oneplus? - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

I am curious if there is going to be any reception problems or internet compatibility in these 2 versions? Or is the only difference is you have the dual sim and it's unlocked out of the box?

rom ?

do you need to have a sim unlock before flashing the rom?
No.
SIM unlock - ability to use it on different networks (ATT, VERIZON, T-mobile....) meaning if you by a phone from T-mobile, if you sim unlock it, you can use it on AT&T or Verizon's network.
CID unlock - ability to install non T-mobile ROMs on it if you have a Tmobile phone... so for example, if you buy a phone from Tmobile, the CID lock on the device would prevent you from installing AT&T or Verizon's rom on it.
Most people typically buy a phone from a carrier, that is a Samsung, and it has all the typical Samsung logos on it, as well as a T-mobile logo on it. Everyone knows the phone is made by Samsung, and that it is SIM locked into the T-mobile Network. If you take a SIM card out of a AT&T phone, and insert it into this phone, it probably won't connect to the network.

But sometimes, Cell Companies hire companies like HTC to manufacture phones for them, that they can release as their own brand. For example, My phone is a "T-mobile Wing"... and it is sold only through T-mobile as if it were "made" by T-mobile... but when in all reality, it's made by HTC.
This "T-mobile Wing" doesn't have any other logos on it, besides "T-mobile", and T-mobile markets and sells the phone to the general public... in a sense "pretending" they made it.
Carriers SIM lock phones, because generally they cut people some sort of deal when buying the phone from... you'll often see deals such as Get this T-mobile Wing for "$300" if you open a new account or extend your contract by 2 years today ...etc..etc... but if you already have an account and have already extended your contract, you'll have to pay $499 for it. Since they are "giving you a deal" because they plan on locking you into a contract and getting money from you for 2 years ... they sell you the phone at a cheaper price.
In order to avoid, people buying let's say, an iPhone from AT&T/Cingular and then using it on T-mobile's network, they SIM lock them so that people can "only" use the iPhone on the AT&T network. Obviously it's also a tactic to get more people to switch over to their network... People who REALLY want an iPhone will switch carriers so that they can have an iPhone. So let's say, Apple was offering unlocked iPhones through their own site, it would most likely cost you a lot more than if you went to AT&T, and signed a 2 year contract with them.
Luckily we have a few smart people out there who are able to get around certain things such as SIM and CID locks in order to alleviate us from the clutches of "the man" .... that way we can do whatever we rightfully chose to do.

Hero Approved for AT&T 3G Bands

No mention was made of a Hero with 3G that'd work on Rogers or AT&T back at its announcement a few days ago, but HTC has been getting awfully good at making phones that work properly around these parts -- so we can't say we're entirely surprised to see a Hero approved for WCDMA on Bands II and V gracing the FCC today. For the record, Bands II and V are 1900 and 850MHz, respectively, which is exactly the combo AT&T subscribers would need to flip the switch on high-speed data. We're not sure if this negates rumors that the Hero would be coming to Sprint, but if we can just get this version released and in our hands, you know... maybe our minds would be operating with a little more clarity.

Hopefully it's quad band
I was hoping this phone will come to Sprint.

there was a rumor originally that the Hero would be coming for Sprint. just because a ATT 3G band model passed the FCC, it doesn't mean that the phone isn't still going to come out for Sprint. it's still early, be patient!

According to pdadb.com it will be the G1 Touch (HTC Hero 100). Only difference between this version and the regular Hero is that they added the 1700 band to work here. Supposedly coming this month.
Tempted to get this, but the screen resolution might kill it for me
According to Gizmodo, T-Mobile says there will be no Hero released by them. http://gizmodo.com/5310109/t+mobile-straight-out-says-no-htc-hero-from-them
quick question if I can order one from england can I use it on ATT with 3G?

No. If you bothered to google this question, you would have found about eleventy bazillion links to this question, and they all say no, you can't. Even if Verizon allowed unlocked devices (which they don't), the Nexus 4 is GSM only, and Verizon uses CDMA for calls. No calls, no 3G data, no 4G data, no LTE. Not a sausage. Well, 911, but that's a given.

True Verizon uses CDMA for it's 3G network but the Nexus 4 does have LTE, and Verizon uses Band 4 according to this list, shouldn't this work?

NO!
But this would be possible if Verizon allowed unlocked devices, correct? Because both can support 1700 mhz
I know this is regarding the Nexus 5 but I'm assuming it's the same reason:
Verizon is intentionally blocking the Nexus 5 from their network since the Nexus 5 has all the ability to run on Verizon with no issues. The Nexus 5 radio supports all of Verizon's frequency bands. Verizon doesn't like universal service network phones that are new unlocked cell phones they can't lock into that old 2 year services contract scheme that has made them rich

And if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump his ass when he hopped.
But yeah, if Verizon ever allowed unlocked phones, theoretically it might be possible to get LTE working on it. But the Nexus 4 doesn't have CDMA, which Verizon uses for telephony, so you wouldn't be able actually use it as a phone.

The LG V20 H990 is cheaper than other models. Why?

Looking at pricing on ebay and other online retailers, the dual sim LG V20 H990DS is selling at a lower price than the single sim variants.
Aside from being dual sim, is there any other difference between the H990DS and other variants?
Is there any reason not to buy the H990DS?

Well, you could be like the other 6-10 Americans on this board with a single sim T-mobile variant which (correct me if wrong) has its bootloader unlocked and root available. The LG dev community seems (to me) uninspired and, for lack of a better word, a bit too lazy to explore the models (like H990DS) which are used more commonly throughout the global market.
To answer your question, WHY NOT buy it:
- There's no root for H990DS
- Dev community for LG "deosn't really exist"
- Bootloader isn't and will probably never be, unlocked
Other differences? Compare on GSMarena. Keep in mind they aren't always accurate specs.

additionally , you dont get any warranty on those models since they are shipped from Korea. So that makes it cheaper as well because they are selling phones without warranty.
FYI: I bought this model for $630 from amazon and it shipped from Korea and it came with headphones in box!

Is the H990DS one of the B&O tuned variants with the B&O logo on the back or is it an LG tuned variant?
Did you receive B&O H3 headphones or just a normal set of LG headphones?
I would like to be able to unlock the bootloader but I can live without it. Having dual sim and lower price are higher priority for me as long as there are no other differences.
I'd hate to find out that my phone is missing the quad DAC or some other imporant features that make the LG v20 special and which are included with the single sim models.

This model is tuned by B&O and has logo at the back. Mine came with B&O headphones.
see this video:
This is the same version I have
Another thing to note is that the bands on this version are different to some US variants. For example, I am on tmobile and this model has mostly all bands 2,4,12 (but not the newer 66) and it is missing some bands for AT&T. Also, this model is gsm only
I too can live without the bootloader, but root is critical. Checkout the other threads on page 1 or 2 in this board or the others, I've created a bounty thread to see if any dev will take the bat and actually develop something. Certainly worth contributing to and paying for if its released for this mode, H990DS

Are the missing att bands problematic for using Cricket now or in the near future? Will the 990ds allow WiFi calling on Cricket?
Thanks!

OnePlus 7t Pro McLaren INTL on Verizon

I have the opportunity to buy a 7T Pro McLaren International version. I'm in the US on Verizon. I'm already CDMAless. Has anyone successfully got their International 7T pro McLaren to work on VZW? I miss my 7Pro but would like the McLaren 7T.
I saw there was a similar thread but it was talking about the T-Mobile version. I don't care about 5G since the nearest big city is not on the 2020 vzw roadmap. I also know T-Mobile and VZW are using different 5G spectrums.
Anyone get it working?
For those trying the above. forget it at this time. I can get data and call working on VZW but no SMS. I called VZW multiple times and the last Tech I spoke with tried and spoke to many different people. I was on the phone over 90 minutes. What she was she was told that VZW was looking at adding the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition but there was nothing they could do at this time. If you're not willing to use T-Mobile or AT&T, I'd hold off until VZW decides to support it on their network. I got a T-Mobile line for now . the odd thing is they list a 7T pro on their web site as being compatible. I guess the McLaren is a different beast. I did decide NOT to buy the INTL version due to no returns/warranty in the US. I purchased mine from T-Mobile. It was cheaper than buying the INTL and 24 no interest payments was better for my situation.
Strangely, I have had no issues with my 7T Pro McLaren on VZW (CDMAless already from 6T McLaren) - with SMS or otherwise.
12gb 256 gb you guys have that mclaren? and if so what model? visible or yahoo mobile both say 1925 one from tmobile wont work but if you guys did get it to work with everything working let me know
There are global McLaren's as well. I have model number HD1910 that's the Chinese 4g McLaren. I'm on Verizon with CDMA less already on my line. There is also HD1913 that is the EU McLaren. Will work the same way.

You have to use another phones IMEI so that they can add the CDMA less. Then just pop your sim in.
hmm i have a nexus 6 1103 sitting around but i forget does it have cdma? dont they notice you put sim in a phone thats not allowed and kick it off?

anyone on with yahoo wireless or visible? those are both on verizons network so want to make sure...also did you know i was speaking to 1plus tech and what he said was tmobile hd1925 and international are same phone they just put a 1 sim tray in tmobile version but he said it has all the bands

curious question someone said you can flash the international firmware on the tmobile edition? does that change what the imei says? what i mean is by imei number visible and yahoo both know its the tmobile version wont work and on chat they were saying the tmobile version isnt allowed but the other versions not tmobile are allowed
For me it's working
I moved to Verizon today, my plan is bring my wife's pixel 4 and buy new device. Well Mag asked me if she can try it on my phone, few minutes after she add a other EMEI and all set. It's working for calls text and internet HD1925

Hey if you got the 7t pro 5g mclaren from tmobile (HD1925), that is not that INTL 7t pro and it is different as it uses 5g modem which does make it different from the regular international 7t pro.. thats probably why you couldnt get it to work on verizon.. also make sure its not network locked since youre on a monthly payment plan from tmobile
I can def say that my HD1925 did have SMS probs when I had it on VZW. BIGTIME problems. No matter which SMS app I used. I switched back to TMO with it and the problems sort of went away. Once in a while I will get "tap here to download msg" in SMS app
