??? USA PIE OTA Role out SM-950U1

It's been out weeks now in Europe and India etc.
Anyone seen it stateside??
Any ideas, should we spoof location?
Thanks

American carriers probably testing their bloatwares to work on one ui..

What good would spoofing your location do? European models are N950F. You're asking about the US N950U1. They're different phones, different firmwares.

The U1 will get the update last. The carriers still have to approve it before it can be released. And they will push the update to their carrier branded models first.

Hmmm...no warranty, no Samsung Pay, and not 100% compatible radio bands. Doesn't seem worth it to get a faster update. Especially since you can load the Pie beta on your N950U1 right now. It's very, very stable, by the way. I've been running Pie on my N950U1 for two months now.

OnePlus 7 Pro 5G Slow On Updates

Hi, it seems OnePlus and EE are either not bothering to update the 5G variant or they're having trouble updating our phones due to the 5G modem, i maybe wrong but it just seems weird that OnePlus haven't even put out a statement as to why were not getting updated the same time as the 4G variant.

The lack of updates for the 5G is really appalling. The 5G is meant to be the flagship device, yet it is consistently ignored.
For example, the 4G variant is now on 9.5.11, yet the 5G version is on 9.5.5 and missing a TON of features in the later updates
NONE of the Android P betas work on the 5G

Yikes! That's really just awful! I don't live in Europe and don't have the 5G model, but that would infuriate me. Being a flagship device with the price to match, that's just unacceptable.

Yeah I agree, we're 2 months out of date.. my 6 was getting updates within the first week of the new google security patch.
f**k all for my 5G... not good at all. Still, I will carry on in hope..

Finally, people addressing the issues on a public forum. I keep tweeting OnePlus but I haven't heard a dickie bird from them.
The 5G variant isn't even on the list of supported devices on the OnePlus website! "Buy our flagship device with our next gen technology inside but we're not going to support it". I massively regret buying the 5G variant because of the lack of support, acknowledgement that the device exists, no beta inclusion - it's ridiculous!

So there are others with this device!
It's absolutly absurd the way they are treating us - we pay more in total for a more premium version of their already premium device and the last software update was a month ago with no official word on what's happening.
Last time trusting Oneplus with premium that's for sure.

This is an absolute joke. Pay more for a device and get less. I've made countless posts on the OnePlus forums. Spoken to support, OnePlus Support push me to EE and EE push me to OnePlus. I'm reaching the end of my tether.
I totally regret getting the 5G version. Costing me an arm and a leg monthly too... For an over promised and under delivered 5G experience.

This device is costing considerably more per month than the regular 4G version and this is how we get treated? This is beyond ridiculous. I tweeted OnePlus Support and I've heard sod all back. I'm fitting to go to CEX and asking if they'll do a straight swap...

Did you expect anything less? Not much op can do if the carrier needs to push the updates, same thing with the 4g version, international version is the way to go.

Sorry I should've said UK
Since it's UK exclusive

it is different firmware, so not necessarily the same numbering scheme as the regular 7Pro. From what I've seen. The 5G has gotten 1 update per month.. which isn't bad. It could be alot worse.

It's not. It is on sale in other countries in Europe, and it now looks like it's going to be sold in the US as well (on Sprint if I remember rightly)
The model may be "European", but it certainly isn't an UK exclusive!

Only it *HASN'T* got 1 update per month. If it had, it would be on at least the July security patch, but it is stuck on the June patch (and the August patches are now out)

OnePlus 7T pro 5G coming to TMobile

https://www.t-mobile.com/devices/5g-phones?icid=WMM_TMNG_C_19NETWRK5G_JXY3B6IVGF90PZUQV18612_HP

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.

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.

Question China variant missing B66 band on T-Mobile

Never purchased a non-US compatible device and had a question:
The China variant seems to have most T-Mobile bands (both do not have B71) as the global variant WITH THE EXCEPTION OF B66. Does anyone know whether this will be an issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i get my china variant Mi 11 Ultra on Monday, im on T-mobile and i live in NYC. i can report back to you then.

Lucky you! Yes please let me know how the reception turns out. I don't really care about 5G since it's not that widespread, but wondering how 4G LTE will be like.
If you have any opinions on the China variant as you begin to use it, please post as well! Also considering it since there is a cheaper variant (8G+256GB).

Any updates how CN version working in NY with T-Mobile?
interesting to see speed test on 4G. Is actually supporting one 5G band.

when i ran speed test i get 10Mbps here in Queens at my house. but the real test for me will be at my job, since i dont get any WiFi there.
I also did a factory reset (a habit i always do) and playstore disappeared, i looked on youtube for easy video to re-install. This is my 1st Xiaomi phone, so im getting use to MIUI. but hardware, much better than my Note 20 Ultra. the display is better and the frame rate i see it faster on mi 11. I plan to flash global ROM, but stuck waiting 168 hours for unlock to go thru. this is only my 2nd day with the mi 11 and i like it already. going out later to take some pics.

Don't buy China version because it doesn't support well Carrier Aggregation combinations used by TMUS so you don't get good speed from network. Also it missing B71 and B66 bands - common in US networks. 5G only works with n41 SA when available theory.
Here is list of supported bands and Carrier Aggregation combinations: https://cacombos.com/device/M2102K1C

Question CN or Global (EU) Phone ?

hey there fellow XDA Members and Mi11 Ultra Owners!
Any downsides of buying the CN Version of this Phone over the Global/EU Version?
i've got the MiMix2s and have there the issue that it got some new Baseband FW someday that now produces issues in the EU Network... also other Phones from xiaomi had this issues that the CN Versions where somewhat troublesome

I bought the china version and when it comes to google integration, it's very limited what you have.
your apps and messages won't automatically sync, there is always the chinese apps that you can removed, but the AI stays there.. I installed the global version and it's like a normal google phone, everything will be download it to your Mi Ultra 11, no need to download each app individually, . If I was you, i would spend the little extra money it cost fot the global version and get it.

Just get the CN phone and flash the EU Rom.

Honestly I recommend buying the global version as internet bands differ from the Chinese version at hardware level, so no firmware can change that. Many people didn't find this an issue anyway,but I would recommend you to stay on global

AFAIK bands are identical this year.
5G works here with CN model so I'm good.

Bands are different, sure you have 5g but you may miss something on some specific carrier

As far as I know, the hardware is identical

But the hardware can select the bands from the modems configuration per sim and network location required to the maximum bands built to be used per model. See all the mi 11 ultra configurations in the screenshots taken from mine.
Mine is not rooted, but it would be good to see the modem config from a global hardware sold phone and a Chinese hardware sold phone both using the same ROM to see if there are any difference's in bands using the Qualcomm modern config app. I would be happy to be proved wrong but I bet both have the same bands, just applied different.

No rom or firmware can change the bands sorry

This is my first post so forgive any stupid errors or remarks ! I bought a Mi 11 Ultra with the CN Rom. I'm waiting for the bootloader to unlock and I was going to install the EU Rom. But I have been using it after taking off the bloatware and to be honest it's behaving and works well. The 5g speeds are good and it seems to change between 4g and 5g smoothly when moving about. I've attached a screenshot of a speed test done sitting in a coffee shop on Tottenham Court Rd London. No over heating and camera works well. So I'm seriously considering leaving it locked and using the CN Rom.
But willing to hear why that's a stupid idea!
Thanks

The CN ROM works well if you're patient and don't mind debloating and tuning it to ensure all Google apps work as it should since it does require some tweaking. For example, I remember my Google Pay didn't initially work.
I remember getting 150Mbps on LTE+ with EE in London Bridge station over a month ago which was fantastic although I heard the EU Weekly runs a bit more efficient with the memory management and process allocation. What eventually sold me was the fact that it was based on CN Weekly betas, and those occasionally get camera improvements first before stable across all regions.

I purchased the China version as well, maily because it is a lot cheaper than the global variant. I then wait a week, unlock my bootloader and flash the Xiaomi.eu rom with full Google integration. You see, the Xiaomi.eu rom takes the roms from China and removes all the Chinese bloat and script and then adds in full Google functionality. It's truly the best of both worlds.
