Hi everybody,
We moved to T-Mobile and got a new iPhone XI and a OnePlus 7 T Pro 5G McLaren. My wife is not happy with the quality of the audio and what to switch back to Verizon or AT&T, and I wonder if any of you have tried the OnePlus with those carriers and if the phone works with them as well as 5G
Thanks for your responses.
Happy holidays,
Guillermo
Verizon is CDMA and I dont think the oneplus from tmobile will work
I tried mine on Sprint last night but I couldn't get it working. I read that once they merge it will work on that Network so I would think it would work but maybe I'm wrong. I'm going to play with it some more.

You may need to go into settings and sim unlock the device first if you haven't already

CDMA doesn't matter anymore and is being shut down. Verizon only allows new devices on its VoLTE network and the phone supports all of Verizon's bands.
But the main problem is that Verizon won't allow the device for purely arbitrary reasons if the BYOD check rejection is any indication. Same goes for Sprint.
It should work fine on AT&T minus 5G support. If you had bought the Note 10+ 5G from T-Mobile, I believe that does support AT&T's low-band 5G (assuming you have the right plan) that just launched.

I have done the temporary one, but not the full unlocked as I haven't paid in full the phone.

So far no one has tried. :crying:
I had my T-Mobile 5G McLaren unlocked for T-Mobile.
It works with a Verizon Sim with data only.
When I try to make it a outgoing call the phone app crashes and there is no incoming and outgoing text messages but data works just fine.
The OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren takes advantage of T-Mobile 600 MHz lowband 5G; currently, no other US carrier supports 600 MHz lowband 5G. Consequently, if you unlocked the sim on the 5G McLaren, you could use with other carriers but you would currently lose access to lowband 5G with other carriers. Moreover, as far as I know, the 5G McLaren does not have an antenna for mmWave 5G, so you would not be able to utilize mmWave 5G on any carrier. In my experience, modern call quality is more dependent upon the particular phone than carrier, so maybe your spouse could try a different phone than whatever current one? Good luck!
I messed with it some more and have had some success. I already have mine sim unlocked. I'm not worried about the 5g as that is a joke. I can't get more than 2mb down and 1mb up with 5g. Yes you are reading that correctly. TMobile sucks in new Orleans. I am getting LTE with Sprint and was able to make calls. I will post back once I get it all figured out.

This is false. AT&T is live with n5 (850 MHz) in a dozen or two cities. It's the same dumb approach they used for HD Voice, but 5G is being lit up market by market.

I don't think n5 is enabled in the firmware. T-Mobile's 600 MHz lowband 5G uses n71. T-Mobile planned to add n41 if the Sprint Merger goes through. So, I don't think someone would be able to use it on AT&T n5, because the n5 band is not enabled in the firmware.
Correct. n5 is only enabled on the AT&T and T-Mobile branded Note 10+ 5G. Maybe Sprint's too if it ever shows up. Even then, I'd only trust the AT&T one for obvious reasons.
If anyone ever gets around to playing around with the McLaren 5G in QXDM or QPST, it would be fascinating to see what the modem is actually capable of and whether anything can be enabled. There should be no problem with the antenna and chip supporting it.

The OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G has the Snapdragon X55 chip in it. Which means it supports all current US based forms of 5G. However the chip is software locked by OP to just low band, I assume until TMobile releases mid and high band.
I have a unlocked 7t pro mclaren that i got from t mobile. I have it on at&t right now. It's working out great. But as said be for the 5g does not work on at&t right now. The one thing that i did do was update the oneplus logkit. So i could enable volte and video calling. But still no calling over WiFi with at&t.

Thanks for the explanation, I am willing to sacrifice the none 5G but I need to know it works, otherwise... I cannot do it.

Thanks for the update... but as you can imagine, I need the phone fully operational.... so it looks like going to Verizon is not an option for me so far.

The phone can be used on Verizon fully. You need a Sim and you also need to call in to tech support and have them set your account up for CDMAless.
Hello,
Idk how much this will help you but, I’ve been an ATT subscriber for over 5 years, I live in Naples FL, and have traveled around the state and always have good service. I keep ATT because it’s easy to switch your SIM card and use the next phone on the networt, I buy a lot of unlocked phones. I am currently using the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition, not the 5G version, on the network and all is well. ATT is great but, I am thinking of switching to T-Mobile once the other phones on my account are paid off, only because of T-Mobiles less expensive plans.
I am living in a region which only got n77 for 5G network
Just wondering can it be done via pc software editing or something like the volte method.
Its brother find x2 pro comes with n77 by default, but it is not officially available on onelpus 8 pro.
I'm trying to find out about unlocking bands using regional firmware but even Oneplus aren't giving me a straight forward answer on this
I brought oneplus 8t 5g from India to Bangkok. operator in Thailand(AIS) uses N41 Band and in India N78... Here 5g is not working, what can i do to make it work.. kindly help
My 8 pro in my (network) country does not have 5g. (I have a new 5g SIM)
I talk to OnePlus tech and they say that it will be solved in future updates.
It will be faster if each one of you talk to Oneplus tech and they see that many people need more 5g bands.

I am trying to talk to them almost on daily basis but they are providing any solution for the problem. Poor customer service from them

Hello all i have just switched from tmobile to mint mobile about 25 days ago and my fiance and dad they both love service i did as well when it was working so this hopefully will help alot of people if you are able to find this thread i started on the service by upgrading to a new phone had the one plus 7t went to the mclaren edition and started having non stop text and phone issues texts would either not send or have to go into airplane mode and then normal or restart and calls sometimes wouldnt dial out and incoming calls from specific numbers would just hang up before able to get a ring or fast busy ive read alot of old posts and have not seen anyone answer this yet i went through 2 mclarens and a oneplus 8 and now a 8t to figure this out inbetween i had a nord 10 5g unlocked direct from oneplus and made a guess that it was the tmobile varriant software and i was right!!!! the issues if your having similar problems will be 100% resolved by rebranding your oneplus tmobile varriants to global it doesnt change your bands or what not but something in the tmobile software doesnt allow mint this is conrimed because i had a nord and everything worked fine but of course i wasnt happy with the ram and speed after having flagship phones so ordered 2 oneplus 8s on amazon and they falsely advertised saying they were in2010 of course i got in2017 that is the oneplus 8 8gb tmobile varriant so all you have to do is first unlock your sim so you can use any carrier you can do that through the phone under settings wifi and data and then at bottom should say unlock and request a perminent unlock i belive the standard requirments are to have a tmobile phone that was on tmobile network for at least 40 days if you havent but still have there service can call and ask say your going out of the country and doing development and then after that step 2 is to request a bootloader unlock that takes 7 days roughly give or take a few hours you can submit request to start the 7 day wait here https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token and then you will need to convert your phone to a global version i will try and find link for mclaren but ill drop links this is for oneplus 7t lucky there is way to skip sim and bootloader bypass here is link https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...thout-unlocked-bootloader-sim-unlock.4153943/ oneplus 8 https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-convert-to-global-wip.4105885/ and oneplus 8t i didnt find it will start looking but i promise you i just did this to my oneplus 8 and it works flawlessly ended up setting up return because i ended up paying 470 to 480 for the 8s and found a local oneplus 8t sim unlocked 1 month old with the glass cover on screen and cameras perfect condition for 500 cash so lucked out just submitted my bootlaoder unlock and i know will work great i hope i have helped alot of people here sorry if this has already been told but i was not able to find anywhere when i started the journey i had no idea and went through weeks of turmoil i dont want anyone else to do so just follow the directions thanks guys take care
That was hard to read.
I have a OnePlus 7t Pro 5g Mclaren on Mint as well. I'm having nothing but trouble with it. I tried one of the Lineage builds and still had problems. I've tried every apn and setting combo I can think of. I've worked with Mint support and gotten nowhere.
I'll look into your info of rebranding. I'll be honest: I'm skeptical.
This looks sketchy to me. Not trying it.
I loaded up AOSiP and am rock solid reliable again. Receiving all calls, SMS, MMS. Not looking back. Try it. You'll like it.
Pure Android goodness.
So true T-Mobile variant on OP8 does not work on Mint. Works great on Global. Trying a maccleran now -- but what is the OP pure stock? Does not seem to be one.
Pretty sure this issue (unreliable calls, calls ringing straight to voicemail, sms sending and receiving issues) applies to all recent OnePlus T-mobile variants when used on MVNOs that use T-Mobile 5G or LTE. Makes absolutely no sense to me, haven't found a fix, very annoying. Also our phone can't be converted to Global because there never was a global version made of the 7T Pro 5G Mclaren, it was only available from T-Mobile.
On 1+7tproNR (HD1925) and using Los 17.1, rooted and mint mobile with never once an issue,
Safteynet passes, gpay works, Netflix, Snapchat, games, I use google dialer & messages, I have never once changed the APN, just left it on auto. Not sure which Los you are using
Was going to get a Verizon-branded OP8 but settled for a Pro unlocked just so I can root. Am I the only one?
Edit
Lol me too. We can't get 5g on these phones through Verizon I don't think
I think this is simply Verizon, and as there isn't a lot of people using Verizon the support just isn't there.
Obviously doesn't help you but if avoid them in the future.
Has Verizon promised you 5G? Are you paying for it?
No, boss lady pays for my service coz I use it also for work. She offered one of her upgrades to get an iPhone but I can't because iPhone. Verizon OP8 was an option but bootloader locked down. OP8Pro unbranded was 3rd choice, and although it would be out of pocket, I jumped on it.
5G is a problem for Europa, too. I read that a Lot of people who complain they don't have 5g in many countrys in Europa.
On 8 Pro NO 5g ! On 9 Pro, same, NO 5g ! There is NO 5g option in "Preferred Network Type". And OnePlus sales 5g phones...
Of course i have new 5g capable SIM. My network 5g works in band 78.
Till now 5g is BS.
I'm in the UK and 5G works fine, i don't need i but it definitely works.
A bunch of people who have the 8 pro have 5G just fine.
If you're completely missing the 5G option then speak with your provider.
I read online the 8pro doesn't have the mmWave antennae so hence, no 5G.
At least for me, coming from HTC U11 (where only Band 13 works on Verizon), I'm hoping to at least get more bars more often. Daughter's Iphone 12 Pro Max, I think, gets like 60Mb download where we live. Wife's Pixel 4xl gets around 40ish. Me thinks I'll be right around 40ish too.
I'm with Visible (Verizon's MVNO). I had updated my OP 8 Pro to the latest OOS beta 11, and I see the 5G label pops up occasionally next to the triangular signal bar. Verizon has deploy sub 6 5G anchors with LTE bands, aka DSS, in my area.
So far, I can't find a unroot method to turn on wifi calling on OOS 11 with Visible cell service.
Hi,
I've been using my Redmi 7A with this [ROM][ARM64][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 18.1 for Redmi 7A (pine) using Freedompop 1G plan, which uses the AT&T network. This week the service stopped working. If I put the SIM on my wife's Moto G Power, it works there. I tried to see whether my phone would work on any other plan, but the IMEI checks are always negative. Any suggestion?
For the benefit of those who should stumble upon this thread, I'm putting a link to this discussion here on XDA
Guide how to unlock bands and 5G on 700mhzI suspect this is what I need to do to connect to the AT&T network, but I have not the time right now if ever.
UPDATE
I was able to unlock the 5G bands and my Redmi 7A can now connect to the AT&T network.
