If I don't chicken out before the day is over, I will be ordering mine to use on AT&T network.
Please post USA network experience, rom versions, hints and tips, OTA (or other) method used to get updates, where purchased, etc.
In about two weeks I'll probably be ordering one for use on AT&T, also. Love to hear some experiences.
A very small percentage of me wants the HTC U11+, but my Huawei Mate 9 has been really good to me.

I have an Essential phone that is going back. It isn't terrible, but does occasionally lag. Mostly I don't like the size. and the signal level inconsistency. Also a Pixel XL 2 that is going back. The pIxel is such a nice phone - except for the screen. And I have come to realize I DO NOT LIKE the new extended vertical size format and that I enjoyed my Nexus 6 better than any phone I have had. The Mate 10 seems like just what I want. Although software updates may be nonexistent.
Just got my mate 10 from seller in ebay from Houston. Was in Chinese language.
Now I have to look into the rebranding stuff.
Didn't realize that would be the case. Maybe it's on me for buying from eBay. Will see if I can get used to it.

Good luck. Maybe check out the funkyhuawei site; my understanding is easy rebranding for a fee.

Let us know how well it works with AT&T. Do you mind saying where you got it and which rom version?
Got my mocha brown L29 yesterday I'm using it on T-Mobile and have not had any issues so far. I'm coming from the Huawei mate 9 pro and the mate 9 before that. I would have stayed with the mate 9 pro for a bit longer but I found a US seller on ebay who was taking offers. I had a $40 off coupon from ebay from recently selling a phone so $535 later I had purchased the Mate 10.
My only complaint is that he did remove the screen protector but ordered a tempered glass as soon as I purchased the phone it just hasn't arrived yet. Everything else was untouched seller claimed he didn't like the phone after playing with it briefly in his bedroom.

If you want to test, please contact FunkyHuawei support. You'll need an unlocked bootloader.
Also, anyone with a Verizon sim and a Mate 10 or 10 pro with unlocked bootloader, please let me know. I don't think VoLTE will work, but I want to try it to prove a theory.

Just wondering if people considering buying from never-msrp or those that have bought from them realize they do not offer any warranty on their devices? Literally zilch and not even the manufacturers warranty is apparently honored?
Further, contacted them 6 days ago with couple of questions and no response. Sent a follow up couple of days ago and still no response.
So apart from price wondering if I am missing something here..... They dont honor manufacturers warranty, they dont offer any warranty (unless you buy extra from 3rd party) and they apparently can't be bothered to even reply so they can take my money...Wondering what they would be like then if something goes wrong :laugh:
Is there anyone else people recommend with similar pricing but honors warranty and has good customer service?
I am after the 64gb dual sim SM-N950F/DS and they are selling it for $820 delivered.
Manufacturers typically don't give warranty for grey market devices. Or more accurately, they will only honor the warranty in the market the device was made for, so if you buy a Korean phone, Samsung USA won't honor the warranty but you can still get warranty on it if you send it back to Korea.

Right. Except I read never-msrp will not do that and will have nothing further to do with the process once you have bought it unlike some other sellers that will deal with Samsung in their region to honor warranty for you and ship replacement back to you and so on. Never-msrp hasn't even bothered to respond yet...
In one case, if true, the customer had a Sony phone and Sony USA wouldnt honor the warranty and Sony HK upon being presented the device and ebay/paypal purchase receipt wouldnt honor the warranty either claiming that it was sold overseas and warranty is no longer valid (of course that isn't Samsung so not sure what Samsung might pull especially since you wouldn't have any support from never-msrp or their original purchase receipt...)
Warranty is a concern when you are spending near $1000 or more...

What do you mean by OEM unlock time released cancer? Don't they all take 7 days past activation and usage for the OEM UNLOCK to show up?
Then who apart from Clove is good? Still clarifying with qd_us if theirs shows OEM UNLOCK or not (last response was their's are Taiwan SM-N950F/DS, region free and no one has reported any issues yet).
And one thing I do not get is why don't people flash the XSG firmware on to their SM-N950F/DS (or for that matter the EU firmware or something else)? XSG apparently is confirmed to work and shows OEM UNLOCK and allows Samsung Pay functionality.
i almost bought from that seller but i decided not to because i don't want to deal with nonnsense regarding bootloadder unlock.
I went with the n950n korean version from wondamobile for just 35 dollars more than never-msrp

it's actually 928 and change, also they only have gold.
I don't know where they get it, or if the bootloader unlock issue is present in their f\ds versions.
So far everyone who bought a korean version has absolutely no problems with unlocking bootloaders.

Factor in the DHL shipping and it works out to $950. This is one big mess. Korean version no issues, EU version no issues if activated in EU first and 5 min call is made, HK/CN version apparently might work, UAE version apparently ok, the U version apparently locked down junk, the SG/TW sourced versions may or may not work (at least TW from never-msrp may not work)....

I've purchased a Galaxy Tab Pro and a S from them before. Devices were both brand new and had no issues so I'm not certain as of the warranty service. But I do believe they offer a limited 30 day warranty or something if the product malfunctions. Like the posters above said, the manufacturer warranty is usually covered by the country the product is shipped from. They sell mostly international variants so it makes sense.

I bought a Note 8 from Never MSRP. So far it seems to be good but I was little worried since the "security seal" on the box is the old white style found on S4 or S5 plus the Ink quality on the security label looked pretty shabby. The colour of the black fades. When I turned the phone on it loaded right away to a loaded phone screen which might also indicate that it wasn't factory sealed. Normally you would have to go through all the initial settings like language and what not first, am I right here ?
So other then that, it does seem like its a legit note 8 as far as performance goes. I am slightly worried that its a really really good fake but everything works so far and I'm using a T mobile sim.
It is a mystery to me as to how this unscrupulous ebay seller never msrp has a 99% favorable rating. I purchased a galaxy s8 plus, and when it arrived I noticed the ebay listing stated there was an adapter included. This aroused my suspicion that this was an international version, with no manufacturer's warranty. Amazon sellers clearly indicate when items are international version/no u.s. warranty. Not sure why ebay does not demand this kind of transparency. I returned the phone in an unopened box, and in addition to shelling out $10 in return shipping fees, I had to wait 8 days for a refund. Stay far away from this seller, awful experience
I got mine from amazon for 700ish from my company. It comes with no warranty either but I'm not worried about it. I'd go for the pixel 2 xl instead of the note 8. It's def not worth 850 of your hard earned money. If it was 600ish sure.
Bought the Samsung SM-N950U for $649.99 at Amazon today. 300 bucks combined savings, incl. $100 amazon prime membership.
The note 8 from never MSRP is going for 539.99. I bought an S8+ from them a year ago and tempted to get the note. Is it silly to upgrade from s8+ knowing the 2 phones are almost similar?

Tough decisions:laugh:, always too many choices, they also ran promotion for LG V35 ThinQ $599.99, but I realized they slipped some amazon software into that phone and I really wanted that stylus.

Me too, so far I have only found the single sim LYA-L09 and not the dual sim LYA-L29 version. That's the trouble with UK, they just don't want you to have a dual sim phone. One Plus does not have a single sim option, Huawei should do the same and only have the L29 version. Then it is your choice of dual sim or single and extended memory.
If anyone finds the Dual sim L29 version with free gift on pre-order, please leave a message and PM me. Quite happy to order overseas too.

Anyone concerned at the fact that you cannot yet use the face scanning or in-display fingerprint with your banking apps or other apps that usually allow fingerprint authentication?

I'm not too bothered which version turns up for me. I'll likely go down the same route as I did with the M10P and rebrand to L29 with Funky Huawei, ill most likely get that anyway for the firmware updates.. Had to pay a whopping sum of £4 for a dual SIM tray for that M10P as well [emoji3]
I did think though that the M20P SIM tray was hybrid and thus handles 2 X SIM or 1x SIM 1x nano SD.. the rest is firmware at that point. Just have to wait and see what arrives.

Hi,
I bought a P30 pro, 256GB with a Huawei Watch GT (a "gift") , at 3.dk in Denmark for DKK 5.160 i.e. ~ $ 775 + ~$7 a month more than I used to pay for the network. It is to be delivered next week.
I know nothing about the version no., but hope it is European 432. Dual-sim should be included.
I have been quite happy with my P20 pro, but unhappy with slow very slow updates. But after a year of updates the camera i absolutely faboulous now, which it was not to begin with.
According to our DXO friends in France the P30 pro is the absolutely best on photografing, so I am looking forward to see if they are right there
Good luck
Kurt

I really want a Rog Phone 2, and I live in the USA and use AT&T... Should I buy the currently available versions online (will they even work on US AT&T?), or should I wait for the global/USA release that's suppose to come sometime in September?

Depends on what you want, need, and can afford now vs then. The belief is that the global version will have band support that the current Tencent version doesn't have. If you need that additional band support, then wait. If it's more expensive and you can afford it, then wait. But if you're impatient like me, get it now. I should have mine on Saturday. It supposedly doesn't have 71 support. And maybe more. I'll report on what I can this weekend. I'll be connecting to TMO though.
I have it on Tmobile and there are no issues with it

Where did you buy it from?
I also have it on tmobile. Bought it from an ebayer selling the tencent version in the US for $750 - a ripoff but I can afford it. I waited a couple weeks and flashed the international rom to it when it showed up on the chinese servers, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Any reason for me to stay on the tencent rom? What do I get/gain/lose if I flash to int'l rom?
Thanks in advance.

The tencent version has typical chinese battery management stuff that will cause issues with notifications, and its a bit more locked down. Best to be on the worldwide rom.

$560, eBay. They've been really good about giving me updates. Might be here Friday instead of Saturday. Supposedly shipped last Saturday. USPS with tracking.
Hi everyone,
I'm a little confused and would appreciate any help provided. I've read many of the posts and am still a little unsure which LTE bands the currently available 8/128 version has. I've seem some sites that show only a few and some sites that show more. Can someone confirm which LTE bands the currently available 8/128 version has?
Also, after switching over to the WW rom, does it allow you to pick which version of the UI (near stock vs ROG) during setup?
Thanks in advance!!!

Giztop is claiming that the 12/512 version of the tencent rog phone 2 has all the LTE bands I would need for TMobile (2, 4, 12, 66, but no 71) but I'm fairly weary.
I think I'll wait for the international model.

I've read that the Tencent version of the ROG Phone 2 doesn't support LTE band 66, but that would be pretty awesome if it does!
Additionally, everything I've read seems to suggest that the phone will work fine on AT&T/T-Mobile. I'm particularly interested in finding out if this phone will work on Verizon's network or not though. All the phones I came across on ebay have bold disclaimers stating that the phone is not compatible with Verizon. At the same time, it supports most of Verizon's 4G LTE bands (except maybe band 66) and 1900 PCS for 3G. I wonder if maybe the phone will work on Verizon but with reduced coverage? I'd rather not switch carriers but I also really want to get this phone. I'm very tempted to just buy it now and be a guinea pig for the network, but I think I'll hold out a couple more weeks until it officially launches in the US. If it doesn't work on Verizon that'd be a huge bummer, at that point I'd have to pick between switching carriers or upgrading to something else like a Note 10.
US user, LTE in USA works great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOVxNG93amc

Ok, thanks! Nothing specific, just wanted to know if it arrives ok and as described from the seller you bought it from, that sort of stuff. I'm probably almost as excited for you to receive your phone as you are lol

Yea i think im going to upgrade, i love the color accents , and itll be a lil bit of an upgrade from my OP7PRO
Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk
Depending on the price, I may be all over this. I would be upgrading from a 6t
Only difference from 7Pro is a little better CPU . The storage is down to 128gb instead of the 256gb I have. Is the Snapdragon 855+ worth it to upgrade ?
---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------
Also only the 7T is coming to TMobile right now. There is no 7T Pro till later this year and that is going to be the 7T Pro Mclaren . No release date for the McLaren yet .

Correct. The T-Mobile 7t Pro McLaren went up for "pre register" today. They no longer have the 7 Pro available. So yes, 12gb ram, quad hd screen, and 256gb storage is an upgrade over the 7t, which is the only other OnePlus device currently available on T-Mobile
I've already pre-registered as well. Was about to pull the trigger on the 7 Pro since I was so disappointed in the Pixel 4. Glad I waited.
QUICK QUESTION:
Going back to the Nexus 5 days, I've always bought my Nexus/Pixel phones outright directly from Google. This will be my first phone that isn't a Nexus/Pixel. I'm assuming this will only be available through the T-Mobile store, and not directly through OnePlus. If so, is there any benefits if I pay for the phone all upfront with T-Mobile. I'm assuming that gets rid of the SIM lock, but what about updates and everything. Does that automatically switch the software from the locked down T-Mo one to the OnePlus update track? Or would I have to unlock the bootloader and switch to the international version software to get updates directly from OnePlus? Thanks in advance!

Paying it off will NOT switch it to international software. I believe Your updates will still come from T-Mobile unless you go through the unlock process with both TMobile and OnePlus.Keep in mind, since there is technically no international version of the 7t Pro 5G McLaren because it is currently going to be a T-Mobile exclusive, I don't know how that will work as far as "converting" it to international software goes. Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong
When you pre registered did you get any indication of price yet?

Dang! I completely overlooked that aspect of it. You're right, as there probably won't be an unlocked version of the ROM to switch to in the US. So I'd be completely at the mercy of T-Mo when it comes to updates and bloatware EVEN AFTER PAYING IT ALL OFF UPFRONT!!! That sucks... I'm used to getting updates straight from the source with Google phones, and absolutely hate the additional "features" carriers put on their version of the phones.. That's the reason I buy my phones outright upfront. But more importantly, I like having the factory image in case something goes awry. Especially since I want to unlock and root using Magisk. I'm assuming the factory image wouldn't be available through T-Mobile either... Now I'm contemplating if I should just get the 7 Pro straight from OnePlus just for the added peace of mind. Hmm...

It's possible that the OnePlus 7t Pro rom could work, I just don't know if the 5g modem would make it incompatible or not
Also, Pre registered on T-Mobile for the 7T Pro McLaren. I'll be interested in the price, release date, trade in, etc.

Hmm... Maybe. I'll probably wait then to see if there is a solution to switch it to the international version. I wouldn't even care about losing 5G connectivity if everything else worked and I could get updates straight from OnePlus. 4G is perfectly fine with me for now. At least until 5G matures. I've been reading so many negatives about T-Mobile's lag in updates vs the unlocked models.
Careful with OnePlus and 5G - they are not reliable.
The 7 Pro 5G hasn't been getting support, we have no open betas and threads get closed/ignored on their forums.
Sources don't get updated so there is no custom ROMs or Kernels that work on this device.
6/6T got Android 10 before we even have a promise of it.

Thank you, that's good to know. Although the McLaren 5g will launch with 10 on it, I'm concerned about future updates

As am I. Won't pay full for. If there is a trade in deal then I'll get it. Otherwise there's no incentive.

Yeah, if they're banking on the 5G connectivity as an incentive, they're sadly mistaken. Especially considering they only have it in like 6 cities throughout the US right now.

Yea I could care less about 5g. Home and work I get over 100mbps with 4g. I just want that McLaren phone. The trade in on OnePlus 6t last year was incentive enuff and I got it. The 7t, 0 incentive so it's still sitting on TMobile shelf. If McLaren has no incentive I'll order stick with my 7 pro.

I can't see why anyone would pay the premium for 5G at this point. As stated, the connectivity is just not there. This article is 4 months old but the challenges are not SW or even device related, they are infrastructure. By the time any carrier has a 5G offering that is widely available, the current generation of devices will be obsolete.
