Hey guys,
I've been using my M9+ for quite a while now and its incredible, I have been using the CleanSlate Rom and its kernel. The picture quality is amazing and the 2k screen is beyond beautiful. The fingerprint scanner is very responsive. I am from the UK and its working perfectly for me here. The lady in the HTC Chat told me it wouldn't work here and no point buying it. But I knew it would work as the bands are mostly the same as the M9 and is covered by the networks in the UK.
Do you have the M9+?
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
Where do you live?
Whats your view of the phone?
Looking forward to your replies
HTC One M9+
I'm from India and I have been using M9+ for about a month now. Its not rooted (yet). Its an incredible device but one glitch I have noticed is that the camera app doent load sometimes. I'm running Android 5.0.2 with Sense 7.0. Also the device tends to heat quite a bit on moderate usage. Other than that it's a beast!
Do you have the M9+? - Yes
Where do you live? - Hungary/European Union
Whats your view of the phone?
- I'm pleased with the experience, I was turned down by the Camera reviews on the net, but I gotta tell, on the long run, I got used to how it works, and while I might have to take 2 pics instead of one because of the focus capabilities and lack of OIS, BUT those images that goes well are Superb.
- The heating is like it is supposed to be on a metal chassis
- Battery life is like average high end phones, I wish it was like on Sony's, but nothing worse than it was on my previous phone (OPO)
- I could live with a little bit less bazel because of the look of the phone, but the screen is gorgeous!!
- The price is a bit over the edge (especially if you have to pay import + VAT in EU from China like i had to, bah), but hopefully it will get cheaper, and more people can get this
Also as a developer, I'm pleased that HTC released the kernel sources relatively fast. Developing AOSP like ROMs for this phone is tho' a big no, MTK + HTC is double pain in the ass, so for now I'm skipping developing AOSP based device tree for it.
Do you have the M9+?
-- Yes
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
Where do you live?
-- Shanghai, China / Taiwan
Whats your view of the phone?
-- This is a pretty nice phone overall, and I love it, especially after breaking the chains and bondage the original China version laid. Thanks to @tbalden again!!
-- The Duo Camera could have been smoother though.
Do you have the M9+? YES, MY SISTER GOT IT FOR ME FROM ABU DHABI
If you don't have it will you be getting it? N/A
Where do you live? UK
Whats your view of the phone? VERY GOOD, WORTH WAITING FOR AS I UPGRADED FROM THE ONE M7
Do you have the M9+?
Yes, Bought it from HK as my M8 had a mishap.
If you don't have it will you be getting it?
N/A
Where do you live?
Sydney, Australia
Whats your view of the phone?
Nice phone. I have had it about 3 weeks, running CleanSlate Rom still getting used to M9+ compared to M8. Only real complaint so far with the phone design is the position of the power button - not to touch the button and turn on the screen. unnecessarily. Managing the battery life is continuous problem.
HI guys, just a quick question for those in UK - does the 4G work on Vodaphone & EE?
Thank you

Hello. this item doesn't supporting LTE 800MHz, can't work on Vodafone LTE network. only work on EE LTE. and remind you SIM 2 slot only supporting 2G network
so you can use the SIM slot 1 for the EE LTE network. and the SIM slot for the Vodafone 2G network

You mention the the device was E9+ (E9pw),not M9+ (M9pw).
If you want dual SIM devices, choose E9+ or ME (M9ew).
hahaa...... So many devices confused your users , hTC ........

I said E9+ because that what a seller in UK has, but he says it WILL not work on 4G in UK not seen any M9 E's for sale here - is it the same as the + or is it missing things (I ask because the + is missing) :/
EDIT:
Fpound one in Germany but it says:
Network Technology LTE
Band GSM 800/900/1800/1900 (Quadband) CDMA 800/1900 UMTS 850/1900/2100 LTE 1900
Vodaphone uses LTE 800Mhz so it wont work either :/
These phone companies REALLY need to get their acts together and simplify things for the markets, we are a global market now, the country divides are useless
Thanks for the input guys
UPDATE:
I bought the E9+
works great on EE 4G so I am happy
I saw a post on here somewhere about a dial in code #? to unlock 4G on SIM 2 but I cannot bloody find it :/
Do you have the M9+? Yes
Where do you live? Adelaide, Australia
Whats your view of the phone? It's sexy and love it expect the camera and battery life otherwise everything great.
hi guys, this is my first post so go easy. I'm wanting to buy the m9+ though im not sure if the 4g/the phone in general will work on o2 in the uk? can anyone clarify this for me? o2 use 800mhz as their band and i dont think the m9+ works with this.
however according to willmyphonework dot net when i select the m9+ it says it will work?
finally there are seemingly two m9+ models listed on there, the m9pw and the m9pt- will either of them work or should i just give up trying to get this?
cheers in advance!

Hey everyone quick question. If a T-mobile customer in the U.S. were to order an unlocked magic branded with the Vodafone logo, could they still update the phone and such when the U.S. version hits in July. Say that U.S. T-mobile has sent out an update for their phone, could the person who has the Vodafone version update as well? I am debating about ordering an unlocked magic from Timtechs.com to use here in the U.S. and was wondering what were the possible drawbacks, besides 3G, that I may face.
For the same price (or less actually) as the vodaphone imports you can get one of the Google ION phones off of ebay if you're looking for something a little more interesting.
It supports the american 3G bands as well. I paid 589 for mine.
I have debated on ordering one, but am afraid of possibly receiving just a box lol. Actually the area of texas i live at doesn't have 3G yet, I am always running the E - EDGE network so it really doesn't bother me.

Got one for $400 practically new. Camera is decent but no AF and flash suck ball.
or get the one of the ones Rogers is releasing tomorrow in Canada..
Well, would it be the same version that the U.S. should be getting? if i could find a good canadian website that would ship to the U.S. I may be looking into this lol.
I just received a Vodaphone HTC Magic version and I got the phone to work nicely on AT&T with the APN info. But, 3G does not work. It only shows EDGE. Does anyone know how to get the 3G to work? Or, is there a ROM that I can flash to?
Let me know -

No since it has different 3G radio.
Rogers version will work since it has the same 3G bands as AT&T (850 and 1900).
Hey, wait....so since it has the same bands as AT&T...would that be the same as T-Mobile? Any one know a good canadian retailer who ships to the U.S.?
Hi there guys!I want to buy an unlocked G2 and use it in China.I'm wondering whether I can make it fully working 3G connection in China.Band of Unicom in China is 1900 and 2100.Thanks a lot!
quick answer: no
G2 is aws (1700)
i believe unicom uses 2100 for 3g

Until someone disassembles the phone and looks at the power amps, there will not be a clear answer. However, I think the FCC documents are pretty conclusive. I think you should just play it safe and get a Desire Z. That is sure to have 900/2100 UMTS radio.
Yeah,but It costs so much to get a Desire Z from Europe.I'm still a university student in China.I can save a lot by asking my friend to buy G2 from America and give me when he's back.I think I'd better give up htc and have a look at the others.

you can always look at M8 and/or M9
Oh,I can't wait any more.I lost my cellphone 4 months a ago,so I need a new one to replace my 5-years-old motorola.We shall meet M9 in November,and M8,which is a WM phone,doesn't appeal to me.I'm still confused about AWS.It is said it works on 1710-1750 MHz and 2110-2155MHz.Unicom in China works on 1940-1955MHz(UL)和2130-2145MHz(DL).So we can find they have the same frequency at 2100MHz.Why can't they match each other?Do they have to have the same band on upload and download?
OK

Ok guys the Dcomo SO-01c (japanese xperia) has been successfuly unlocked and working on the U.S 3G network
so you dont have to wait for SE USA or Rogers no more
the bands it uses are
GSM/GPRS/Edge 850/900/1800/1900
UMTS/HSPA bands 1/2/5/6
which is equivalent to 2100/1900/850/800
possibly WCDMA for verizon will work (correct me if i am wrong) which is a big positive on this japanese version , another positive is being available in three colors.
blue
pink
silver
the phone comes with a 16gb memory card
i ordered the pink color for someone and i will order a silver one for myself
so you dont have to wait for SE USA or Rogers no more
i am so glad that this has worked after so many people have doubted that it would work and been told not to waste my money.
i dont want to waste your time explaining my story on how i got the courage to risk trying one and how i found out it will work, but if you want to know i will gladly answer ur questions.
i found a japanese seller that happened to know some english and willing to help and luckily he had an ebay account.
he sold me the phone for $770 including superfast shipping. he said he could sell it to me for $720 on paypal but i chose ebay since it was my first time.
if you can find other sellers good luck . the phone at docomo is around $600 without shipping
i got called by FCC to fill a form and send it to them to be able to get cleared by customs which i did.
when i got the phone all i did was unlock it using ezSEMC and purchased 10 credits from a provider and took about 1 minute to unlock.
http://www.2shared.com/document/F9cAO3Z5/xperia_arc_unlock_instructions.html
it can also be unlocked via entering unlock code provided by cellunlocker.net($8) or other different sites
all you have to do is flash the LT15i rom or the Lt15a rom and you will be able to get the unlock code screen
user morita0107 has unlocked it by entering an unlock code after flashing the LT15 rom on it(same way as x10)
3G popped the moment i put the APN settings which i got help from nimche who has been a great deal of help and support. He has also uploaded the rom for the LT15a which i will flash later on.
download LT15a rom from here (thanks Nimche)

feel free to ask any questions . (Nimche can also answer if i get busy)
i have an ebay invoice up for grabs if anyone wants it for the black color
and i can contact the seller to prepare one for you if you want silver or pink
i have flashed the device with the LT15a rom and everything is working fine, even the Docomo logo in the begining dissappeared

This is fantastic news.
However... just one question remains for me:
Bootloader. Are you carrier-locked or free as the air we breathe?
You'll need 1700 mhz to get 3G on Tmobile, which the Arc doesn't have. If you can live with edge only on Tmo then no prob. No manufacturer supports AWS (1700 mhz) unless it's a Tmo US phone.
WCDMA actually refers to GSM band 850/1900 (I think those are the frequencies), regardless it is a GSM distinction not what you think of in the US as CDMA. So no, it won't work on Verizon. Even if it was a CDMA device you'd still have to get VzW to allow it's ESN on their network and that's not easy, not saying it's impossible, just difficult.

Hello everyone
I have a question about lte band of Chinese version
On Huawei website, we can see that the mate 7 support FDD LTE band 1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28. Todays, we can find the Chinese version for sell "limited" to bands 1,3,7.
But what I don't understand if the Chinese version got all band if you use it in another country or does it need a firmware mod to activate the other bands?
I need band 3,7 and 20... Can I buy a Chinese one or not? (2gig/16 would be good)
Thanks
This has been answer in our Q&A thread. Please take a look at recent discussion on this topic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/wait-compatible-ascend-mate-7-buy-t2899404
Forum member from Switzerland has reported that the Chinese TL10 works flawlessly and we will hear more news from EU user next week.:fingers-crossed:
And we highly recommend 3 GB RAM, or the premium version. You will notice significant difference when opening multiple APPS.
We will post a root instruction for xda community early next week so that it will be a more fun machine to have.

Hello!
I just came back from a trip to China. Bought my Mate 7 in Shanghai. Its the MT7-UL00 Version.
At the shop they told me it should work in Switzerland. They even installed the Play Store for me (good service).
At the Stop Over in Dubai I had no LTE. So I was a little worried. Now in Switzerland it looks like I have same LTE coverage like I had bevor with my LG G3.
Hope this helps you.

MT7-TL10 Chinese -> European
I just got af Gold Mate 7 (3 bg/32 rom) from China - MT7-TL10.
Its a Chinese version, with Chines text i a few palces (even i chosed Denmark for language) but its also without google or anything - and im living in Europe.
So my question is, how do I get the international version af the software on this phone so I can use it like a normal phone here in Europe?
I would be really thankfull for any help and guidance regarding this issue.
Thank you!
Yep i dreaming of my futur AM7 but for no problem at all like the guaranty, i prefer wait till the european version launch officially. i'm so disappointed the gold version will not sold in europe, oh well the grey/black model will be fine too ^^
the official launch in france will be soon around 12 of november.

I bought the Gold TL10 version from ebay and had the international rom flashed on it. Works fine although i only get 3g hspa with tmobile (which is still pretty fast).
I want to unlock the 4g lte though like the TL09 versions so i cud see how fast the cat6 realli is. Regardless though, this phone is pretty fast to even be in 3g mode.
Can you buy the 3gb ram version from amazon fr?
Also how does warranty work on amazon fr? I live in the uk.

It's amazon so warranty usually good if you buy from them. 3gb ram 2gb of ram wont matter much with the Chipset they are using. Feel confident that 2gb will be enough after all the video tests I have seen on YouTube. The 3gb is only the Chinese model which I would not purchase. Get the European model much safer bet.

No 3G or LTE. in the Settings/Roaming Settings, it identifies my SIM card as "2G" only, and I cannot switch on 4G. I have a brand new nano SIM that should work with our local LTE.
My MT7 model MT7-CL00, build number MT7-CL00V100R001C92B120SP07
Any ideas?

You should inquiry before purchasing. The CL00 version, aka China TeleCom version, only recognizes their specific SIM, otherwise, locked at GSM only. Choose a reputable seller in the future.

Yeah I got this as a little gimmick to play with., but it certainly is a disappointment.
Do you think the CL00 version can be loaded with TL10 firmware? I can see CL00 and TL10 differ dramatically in the network and data connectivity support, and TL10 is what I need.

No. There is no way to unlock the SIM and flashing TL10 ROM will not work either. In addition, CL00 uses an additional chip for CDMA2000, which consumes more batteries (only 2/3 of battery life vs. other versions, stated by HUAWEI's website). If you consider TL10, we have Gold color version in stock.
We cannot help you on this version any more.
Good luck!

have smae issue indeed ... nothing works with me i don,t thin you can,t convert it
I posted this in the general section, but then I found this specific V20 area and hopefully you guys will be far more knowledgeable than I am.
I'm on an EE contract in England. the LG V20 is the phone I want to buy but it's not released here in the UK (ebay seems the only option and the closest).
It's got Nougat but it will eventually have updates. the LG V20 does not seem to be scheduled for release in the UK. How, if possible, can I update the phone's Android since my network does not stock that phone?
And it will work on 4G in the UK too?
Thank you for the help, I'm a novice Android user.
Cause you can update as and when available by the manufacturer if it's unlocked.

Brilliant. I didn't know whether it was that simple.
Thanks!

I just took the plunge and bought on eBay should be delivered next few days. I went for H990DS version which is apparently compatible with all 4g networks in the uk.
I would venture you can update manually with whatever lg uses to flash stock firmware or it will find an update over wifi.

Hi did you manage to get the V20? Does the H990DS work well in the UK? Does it connect to 4G and is there option for video calling?
Sorry for asking to many questions I'm looking to buy as well
Thanks in advance

I have an F800 Korean version using it on Vodafone. All 4G bands are supported. The only one missing is the 900MHz HSDPA band. Video calling works just fine. The downside is that you get the operator bloatware and is not easy to get rid of it.
P.S. Check the 4G(LTE) bands of your operator before buying. For example the Korean version you won't get 4G on O2.

Have you tried flashing Global rom?

How you finding it?

I ordered mine too, so hopefully get it around the 7th/8th. I got the Taiwan version because of more 4G support in U.K. It will be used on EE and 3. In the past I have achieved speeds of 100mb with the Note, so would like to see how this would do as well. Such a shame we have to import... lg should be taking advantage of Samsung's catastrophic failure with the note 7. Oh by the way does anyone know if they share sim and sd card or the sd has its own dedicated slot?

I have the F800S. Is the SK Telecom model with some bloatware but the phone itself is great. Quality build and the audio and camera are superb. I wish I could somehow remove the Korean dialer. Even if you select English it still shows the Korean characters.
AUSSIES interested in the H990DS dual sim with 4g/3g capability, its available for $984 local stock, local shipping, genuine AU 12 month warranty from me. Only sold in 1 retailer outright/unlocked, JB HIFI from 8/11 with a price of $1099.

They share a slot. The SD card sits on top of the SIM card

Hi all. Bit late to this chat but I've just bought an LG V20 online and am a little worried as LG themselves are telling me that I won't be able to connect to the 4G network at all as the frequencies are different. However the frequencies available on the specifications of the phone DO match the frequencies used by EE for 4G in the UK; are the LG operatives confused? Do your V20s work okay on the UK's 4G ? Thanks in advance
I'm also in the UK and I've had my H990ds Taiwan variant for 4 days.
I'm on Tesco Mobile (which uses o2) and 4G LTE is working just fine.
