May I ask you what happened? How you broke it?
It came in like this. A lot of similar issues like that in HK.
Please note that in HK, we order directly from xiaomi and they mail that crap directly to us.
What's wrong ? You don't like Xiaomi's 'margin' feature? It tells you when you should do a <CR>
I bought 3 pcs redmi note prime, two from China and one from Singapore and all working great.

A simple factory fault may happens
Anyone know a good vendor or online store to find replacement parts for the zenfone line? I blew the rear speaker in mine somehow. Lol I was hoping I may be able to swap it with an old g3 one I have here but it isn't do-able. [emoji12]

Just ordered the 6t from aliexpress, and now I've noticed that they started selling global variants of the 6t on aliexpress (same seller).
Does anyone know the difference between them?
Most probably the frequency bands

You may have ordered a OnePlus 6T with Hydrogen OS, which is what's used in China.
The rest of the world gets Oxygen OS.

You may be able convert yours to the OOS version, but, if it were me, I'd cancel the order & buy direct from OnePlus outside of China, or if you still need to buy from AliExpress, find a seller who can verify the exact model they're selling.

Thanks, just did a little search and apparently it comes with global firmware and the global versions cost more for some reason (the only place where I can get a oneplus device in my country is through aliepress).
Hello all. My old Nexus 6 is reaching EOL and as such I'm looking for a new flagship that is friendly with customROMs (LineageOS + MicroG, Copperhead etc). Pixel 4 XL seems a little underwhelming hardware wise this year, compare to most of the OnePlus 7 Pro. I was disappointed that OP 7T Pro was not normally coming to the US, but was very happy to hear that the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G was coming to my carrier, T-Mobile! The additional RAM of the McLaren edition and the 7T Pro upgrades are nice to see, but I'm still rather frustrated at OnePlus' seeming inability to offer Qi compatible wireless charging! Does anyone know if by some miracle the OP 7T Pro McLaren 5G edition will include wireless charging natively? Its such a disappointment that this feature I've been using since the Nexus 4 days isn't present, when just about every flagship includes it now (and even Apple!)
In the event it isn;t available natively, I can recall in the "old days" of Galaxy S3 - S5 era, older iPhones and other devices it was possible to buy an INTERNAL Qi receiver. You opened the back of your case, slid the little coil into place and you were good, because there were little sensor/charging points. These days, these little receivers seem to be available, but they instead seem to plug externally, into the USB-C port and have to stick to the back of the phone itself, covered by an external case. This wouldn't be as preferable as a full, internal setup so I was wondering if anyone was aware of the internal battery/charging points of the 7T Pro might be conducive to a fully internal setup?
Next, I'm curious if the OP 7T Pro McLaren 5G (Tmobile) edition will be able to use the same ROMs and whatnot as other OP 7T Pros, or if it will not be compatible. I'm guessing it may need a specific radio/baseband, but it would be nice if wasn't totally separate from other 7T Pros (ie standard editions, non-US, etc).
Lastly, I'm told that the main features of the Pixel that are in theory 'better' are the camera (which is mostly software? Is the OP 7T Pro camera nearly or equal in terms of hardware?), facial recognition/ infrared cameras, and the Soli Radar gesture things? I'm not a big fan of facial recognition (at least not where a big proprietary, non opens source company is involved) so that part doesn't bother me, but I wonder if the "Soil Radar" gestures could be useful or not. What do you think the OP7T Pro McLaren 5G has over the Pixel 4?
Thanks!

Wireless charging is a big nope, I definitely don't recommend opening the glass back lmao. Anyways yeah the OnePlus community always had and will have rom support and the McLaren edition and t mobile edition will both support the same roms and the regular version. For the t mobile model hover you need to unlock it differently I think, OnePlus t mobile edition phones are unlockable but it's a little bit harder I think, just look it up. Xda and the OnePlus forums are a great place to start looking for individual things like that

Wow! This post didn't age well. The T-Mobile variant is locked down by T-Mobile. Updates flying around everywhere but none for us.
Not difficult to unlock/root a TM McLaren. Just follow the below. TM is pretty easy about SIM unlocking your phone even if on EIP. Takes 7 days to get the unlock.bin once your phone is SIM unlocked.
IMHO OOS is pretty slick in stock form so I've never really cared about a different ROM. Rooting is another story.

Yes easy to unlock

But why bother when there are no custom ROMs really that work without sacrificing 5G signal and the ability to get updates to OOS.

Yeah - that's why mine is done also. You can still get OTA, but a real pain - especially if you do one thing wrong initially.
I haven't dug in to it too much. But just yesterday I noticed that I coudn't communicate with my August lock via Bluetooth with my OnePlus 8 Pro. I haven't check with my fiance's Pixel 3a XL yet. Since I recently just got the OP8P.
I was wondering if anyone else having issue?

Our August lock works just fine on mine and my wife's OP 8 Pro. Connecting and auto unlocking.
