love everything about this phone, but before making the plunge I had a few questions.
1. I'm looking to get the L29 version. This is correct?
2. What is the notification issue I keep reading about? I read the forums but it doesn't seem concise. No notifications come up? some? does this effect one model over the other?
3. Is the audio jack volume high? on the Nexus 6p it's abysmally low.
4. Does this phone support MHL/HDMI out? i know there's Miracast and screen mirroring, but looking to use a cable if possible.
Thanks for your answers, really want this phone.
1 -Ideally, yes. Though either will work.
2 - Permissions and the "battery firewall" are messing with people. The device works much harder to keep the battery usage down than any device before it, so getting used to that takes a while, and people think it has "notifications issues" (Though I think there is one legit "issue" with whatsapp, but I dont use it)
3 - Has been by far good enough for me.
4 - Dont know, havent tried.
So do notifications not pop up? I read also about apps basically closing while in the background.

The way I understand it, one of the settings under the performance settings causes all background apps to close when the screen shuts off. You can fix this by whitelisting each app that you want to remain open. Like you, I have read other vague accounts in the forums and reviews about apps not staying in memory, but I don't know if they're talking about that or something similar to what the GS6 and Note 5 do with RAM management. I sincerely hope it's not the latter, as that's the whole reason I got rid of my Note 5.
As long as I can turn some of this off and make the phone behave more or less "normal", I'll be happy. My L29 arrives tomorrow.
As i said before in other Threads : NO NOTIFICATION ISSUES FOR ME SINCE B162 Update. (And yes i have whatsapp)

Is this a standard ota update? For which model if yes?
I flashed update from Thread here in XDA. L-29 3Gb.
Im not sure when it goes well... but i think it was B152.... B103 was annoying and there was defently a issue... but since B152... i think it works great.
I'm using L29 in Seattle with AT&T. I have no notification issues at all. My only issue is my Microsoft Band 2 doesn't always work. The audio jack volume seems perfectly normal to me when I last used it.

So, I received my L29 yesterday and set it up and played with it all day. I tested notifications and everything else I could think of. I have had no issues at all so far. The firmware I'm on is 103 and there are no updates when I check. Everything seems to be working as it should.
Reading the forums on here for several days before, I was expecting a hot mess. I actually kind of like Huawei's UI. It's different. I'm not even going to put Nova Launcher on this time.
I'm in Texas on AT&T LTE.
glad to see ure so happy with the setup

Just to add to the good review for AT&T. I have dual AT&T sims in this bad boy and enjoying it. Honetsly, the software has the best dual sim manager I have seen. Getting solid speeds. Getting used t EMUI is interesting.
Anyone know how to update to B156 from B103 on the L29? My OTA doesnt exsist.
yet. if ure still completely stock u should receive OTA updates at some point in the near future
I am stock. Waiting those 14 days to unlock the bootloader. Need coffee money!

Just want to give an update on my experience since receiving the phone..
First day was good, but I'm now seeing the notification issue. I have an L29 on B103. It seems to be mostly the email client I use (TypeMail or Blue Mail), but I tried stock Gmail and had the same issue. When the screen is off, I no longer get instant notifications. It seems like there's about a 5-6 minute delay before they come in, like the internet connection goes to sleep.
Yes I have turned off all battery optimizations for the apps and whitelisted them. I also set all of the notification options to "on". I have heard that rooting and disabling "phone manager" fixes this, but I'm not quite ready to take that plunge yet. There are no updates available for my device.

Thanks. Do you know what this update is supposed to fix/improve?
Edit: Scratch that, I see the update notes, but it seems the file you linked won't work. It's 1.4GB and says it's not compatible. I'm trying to do the incremental update to 153 now, but all of the links for the smaller update are broken for 160 on that thread.

All i know is that I downloaded one of the links he listed under the b160 and it had the update.app in it after you unzip... it is critical that you unzip and have the files inside the zip in the dload folder on your internal memory otherwise it won't work... I will try to post some pictures and maybe re-zip what i have and create a download link... when i get home from work
Though it would be nice to consolidate any issues we have or potential bugs as well as possible solutions in one place.
Here is what I have found in a little over 24 hours.
1. Can't change lock screen wallpaper. Changes just won't take.
2. In settings>security>smart lock>trusted paces everytime I tap on "add a trusted place" I get a pop up stating "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped"
3. There apears to be no direct way to block numbers from the dialer or contacts like on my Nexus 6P

+1 , i try and i get that error message and bugs i have came across so far are the follow :
1- Camera Freezes and Stops Working. (Way to fix that is Reboot Device)
2- The Adding "Trusted Places " under Smart Lock. (same as you)
3- Can't Enable ZTE Apps when they are Disabled (ZTE Music/Video/My Voice and probably more), i disabled the Music app by mistake thinking it was the Google one and the ENABLE was grey out, hated i had to Factory Reset to get it back.

I haven't played with the camera, so comment on possible issues. Will do so this weekend.
I also just noticed my wallpaper doesn't scroll (it scrolls fine on my Nexus 6P and LG G5).
Weak cell signal.
May security patch
Weak low light camera.
I'm sure those can be fixed to some extent with a software update.

Since this update, I get no cell reception. It's fine when it first boots, then 4g flashes on and nearly instantly it drops to disconnected.
I've tried safe mode, thinking it was that. Nope.
Uninstalled digits. Nope.
Signed in via multi-line settings. Nope.
Watch (Zte ZW10) connected or not makes no difference.
Anyone else? Any ideas short of hard reset?
If it was a simpler process and wasn't risking tripping anything then yeah its good to try but lets not forget this version was never meant to be in the hands of consumers. Be wise stay official till the official OTA comes out! And since were on a new baseband whats to say you can even force the update now?

But, is this update rootable?
Anyone else's dialer app not working. Keeps force closing will try to factory reset
I was able to get my reception back by clearing the cache partition (!!) and disabling wifi calling (the latter may not have been relevant, in fact -- I can enable it now, though).
Nooooo I updated to this version. Can I still root?
Looks like you can't. I tried it and you get stuck in a bootloop.
I recently moved to the 6T from a 3XL because of several hardware issues with that device. So far this device has been a beast. After spending about a week with it, I have a few questions I'm hoping some of you can answer for me!
1. I noticed the lock screen reverts night light if enabled, so the fingerprint scanner can work efficiently. Just wondering if there is any way night light can remain on during the lock screen/fingerprint scan? Or is this impossible because will it impact success rate of fingerprint unlocks?
2. Because of the lack of fingerprint scanner on custom ROMs, I've decided to stay on OOS. This is a long shot but is there any way Substratum overlays can be shown without having to reboot? It's a bit of a hassle to build and update overlays, reboot, apply them, and reboot for full changes to take effect.
3. I don't know if this one is by design, but I noticed my display will wake during calls - if the lift to wake display option is enabled. Anyone else have this issue and know of a fix (other than disabling lift to wake)?
4. My notification bar is tough to pull down while I'm in a call. The only way to get it down is if I drag my finger almost all the way down the screen. Is this also by design?
5. Another call-related issue - sometimes people will tell me they can hear their own voice during a call. Has anyone else experienced this?
6. I'm in Canada with Fido, and OnePlus ensured me VoLTE and VoWiFi will both be an option for me since the device is "globally unified". I'm not seeing any VoLTE icon during calls. I've tried the dialer key combo and enabling VoLTE there, as well as the VoEnabler Magisk Module. Neither of those seem to result in a VoLTE icon. Could anyone confirm if it's just not possible with Fido in Canada, or maybe another solution is out there?
7. This one seems a bit more widespread - some apps using the wrong mic during audio/video records. I've only experienced this in making a video in WhatsApp so far, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a fix? Or do we just need to wait for OnePlus to come out with an update? Or, do the apps themselves need to be updated to better work with the 6T?
I apologize for so many questions, but if any of you could even answer some, if not all of these questions, I would greatly appreciate it! And I also apologize if some of these questions have already been addressed in previous threads.
Interesting post... Will subscribe because I have experienced some of the issues mentioned. I am also on my first week of use.

1. I'm pretty sure this is by design and it's supposed to be that way. When there were early builds of Havoc for the 6T, some users got FP to work on an all white background with the brightness all the way up. So I'm assuming it's so it can read your fingerprint.
2. Sadly, not that I know of. Swift Installer is the same way. Apply overlays, reboot, reboot again to finish themeing.
3. Due to the notch being a teardrop design, there's little space to pack every sensor into the notch. Happens to me all the time when on a call. I'm pretty sure it's because of the proximity sensor. Once you move the phone from your face just a tad, the screen kicks on. No fix that I know of, yet.
4. Again, proximity sensor I'm assuming. Haven't really tested this too extensively mainly because if I have to use my phone for anything while in a call, I'll put it on speakerphone and use it.
5. I haven't heard anything from the other person. However, I do sometimes hear myself like an echo when talking to someone.
6. I have the T-Mobile variant of the device and immediately switched to International firmware as soon as I got the device, can't remember if it showed those icons or not when I was running the T-Mobile branded software, I do have VoLTE and VoWiFi icons on International firmware.
7. Haven't had this issue since I don't use WhatsApp. I do not seem to have the problem when making calls via Facebook Messenger. It's a known problem since the 6 and OnePlus knows about it, they just haven't issued a fix yet. Sorry I can't be more help with this.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to all my questions! Very kind of you.
As for the VoLTE stuff, maybe I'll continue to do more digging since you say you're seeing the icon but I'm not. That tells me VoLTE is not properly enabled on my device (I assume). Thanks again, much appreciated :highfive:
I can't find it, but there are several threads on enabling VoLTE & VoWIFI.
One involves entering the hidden menu, via *#808#, then toggling the appropriate settings.
That's what I did (USA version). I was on the 9.07 firmware, which didn't support it, but VoLTE
popped up and started working, when the 9.11 version hit.

You are very welcome. You may want to try using the MSM Tool found here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307
That's should fix some problems you may be having, especially the VoLTE and VoWiFi issues. I know you're not using the T-Mobile version of the phone, so I'm not sure if this will help you much or not, but a MSM Tool that's meant for your device should work.
OP, I have enabled volte on op6t on Rogers. Fido should work, too. It seems nobody enables WiFi calling on op6t in Canada.

Gave both of these a try and still don't see the volte icon. It's hard to tell if it's enabled even though the icon isn't showing.
I appreciate both your guys' responses though! I didn't know about these additional menus!!
I have the T-Mobile version on T-Mobile and also don't see the VOLTE icon, but if I go to Settings/About Phone/SIM Status, it shows Mobile voice network type LTE. I assume that means VOLTE is enabled.

Looks like you have the International version of the OP6T. My T-Mobile version doesn't have the Enhanced Communications section in Settings/Wi-Fi & internet/SIM & network and I don't see an Icon Manager screen anywhere either, though I have the WiFi Calling switch.

Mine is TMobile version but I converted it to OOS using this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/t-mobile-6t-to-international-t3888307 in case you're interested.
I've read about that but after rooting/custom ROMing just about every Android device I've ever had (up to the ZTE Blade V8 Pro, anyway), I just don't have the inclination to do it with this phone. Everything works and VoLTE is enabled by default, so I'm fine with that.
I've tried to enable as much as I could (full port switch, VoLTE provisioning, enabled in settings) and still don't see the icon.
Very strange and at this point I'm almost prepared to just accept I won't see that icon lol

I hear ya! I quit rooting since I got the Essential phone. Android stock rom now a days much better so I don't need root either. I just converted this phone so I can use the dual SIM cards and faster updates rather than waiting for TMO.
After making some videos via WhatsApp and Snapchat, my question #7 is starting to become a bigger issue than enabling VoLTE/WiFi
It's very obvious the wrong mic is being used during video records because the audio just sounds terrible.
Seems like a widespread issue since there are many articles about it. Is there any known fix out there for us rooted users?
The last update is horrible! I am experiencing the following issues. I have been a long time user due of OnePlus phones due to the fast software and generally being bloat-free. Now they have published software with major problems and the stuff with forcing the "Red Cable Club" functionality to some users is just horrible. What is this crap? Why can't their engineers spot these problems a power users can spot in a few days of usage?
I hope they will fix these issues fast, or I will have to look for another phone. Maybe the Google Pixels are fast and bloat-free?
Random FPS drop
The FPS of the phone can randomly drop to about 10. Happens every few days and a reboot fixes this.
Wifi problems
5 GHz wifi seems not to be working properly. Random connection drops.
Proximity sensor always on
Every few days (probably related to making calls) it happens that the proximity sensor still thinks its in a call. It will turn of the screen if my finger passes over the sensor, regardless of what I am doing on the phone.
Vibrating notifications in silent mode
For some notifications, the phone has started to vibrate. Even though I always have the switch in the silent mode setting.
Hi.
- The "Red Cable Club" seems to be only for Indian users, I think you cand disable that app using ADB.
- The performance problems are there since the first beta of 10, with the passing of the updates the performance has been improving but it's still far from Pie (This isn't something specific of this device, even users of the 7 series suffer this problem).
- With 10 and 10.3.0 I had problems with the 5 GHz connection, but it's working fine with 10.3.1.
- In relation to the last two problems, I've never had them.
No problems here. Make sure you have updated to 10.3.1

Fairly new to rooting (again) - I have a OPO6T rooted, with Magisk and TWRP installed running on 10.3.0. Can you point me to how I can update to 10.3.1 please?
My data speeds have been ATROCIOUS since unlocking Tmobile and rooting.
-horrible data speeds on network
-spotty wifi connections
-unable to use data during phone calls while on network (wifi is ok)
-constant taking screenshots (never had this before, buttons havent moved, what changed?)
I started with 10.3.0 and I am now on 10.3.1 and having the same issues.
And, I have another phone (Honor 6x), also with Tmobile and the data speed is much better than the OP6t.
Help. Phone data is almost unbearable anymore.

Hello buddy, i followed those steps..
1. Download 10.3.1 and copy to the main folder of your phone.
2. Download latest @mauronofrio 's twrp zip (3.3.1-31) and copy it somewhere into your phone...
3 Delete all your security stuff such as fingerprints, passwords, etc...
4. Open Magisk and untick all your modules, delete stuff like substratum, reboot...
5. Launch your 10.3.1 update via local, when finished don't reboot...
6. Open Magisk, tap modules, tap plus icon ( + ), select @mauronofrio 's twrp zip, let it flash (yes like a module), don't reboot...
7. Be sure you're connected to the internet, be in the main menu of Magisk, tap install, again install and install into the inactive slot (after OTA).
8. Reboot your device, let it sit for a while and re-set all your stuff.
9. Done, enjoy your new system...
Cheers

Thanks for the reply bud. Silly question time -
1. Where am I downloading 10.3.1 from? I can only see 10.3.0 on the Official Oneplus site.
2. Does the above wipe all my apps and data?

The last update is horrible! I am experiencing the following issues. I have been a long time user due of OnePlus phones due to the fast software and generally being bloat-free. Now they have published software with major problems and the stuff with forcing the "Red Cable Club" functionality to some users is just horrible. What is this crap? Why can't their engineers spot these problems a power users can spot in a few days of usage?
I hope they will fix these issues fast, or I will have to look for another phone. Maybe the Google Pixels are fast and bloat-free?
Random FPS drop
The FPS of the phone can randomly drop to about 10. Happens every few days and a reboot fixes this.
Wifi problems
5 GHz wifi seems not to be working properly. Random connection drops.
Proximity sensor always on
Every few days (probably related to making calls) it happens that the proximity sensor still thinks its in a call. It will turn of the screen if my finger passes over the sensor, regardless of what I am doing on the phone.
Vibrating notifications in silent mode
For some notifications, the phone has started to vibrate. Even though I always have the switch in the silent mode setting.

Also, "Handling Theme" notification seems to pop-up for no apparent reason. Not sure if this process drains battery.

You're right, it's not on the official website, at least I didn't bother doing a thorough search ...
I got it here on XDA in the global builds repo thread ... HERE, signed flashable zips...
and no don't worry, you won't lose your apps and data.
Have a good day
P.S .: it is always recommended to make backups in case something goes wrong ...

Yes, I also noticed this thing, sometimes it seems to appear for no reason ...
Yeah, I am also experiencing this random "handling theme" notification. I hope they fix this soon!

It's not random, it appears briefly each time you install or update an app. I don't see why people are so upset by this thing that lasts 5 secondes.
Face unlock has so far failed to work on android 10 for me - I can setup the face, but unlock never works.
Did a full fresh install - not an upgrade.

People are upset because they have published horrible software with no quality control. Updates, which make performance worse, not better.

Ranting here about OnePlus has strictly no effect, is totally useless. If you're upset enough consider changing your phone instead. Believe me the are many more serious things in life than being that upset for minor things.... Take a breath.
Plus the Fact that OnePlus despite all it's fault, is one of the Fastest OEM's to push out OTA's after Pixel and Essential. They are also the one that provide the longest support (3 years for the OP3 & 3T) and have arguably the best Software Skin, even better than Stock Android on Pixels. Their phones remain fast and snappy in the long run and did I mention they are almost half the Price of Modern Flagships? For me, OOS is alone enough to buy OnePlus phones. Now, regarding your "issues", OnePlus did push out a Hasty update but to their Credit they have been trying to fix it. If you are not satisfied with the Quality then you can either wait or as suggested previously, change your phone to either the 7 or 8 Series or another OEM altogether.
