The best way: wait for an invite and purchase directly from OnePlus.

I go to london the 11 of august...
I have an oneplus one 16 gb,
I want to change for galaxy S5, nexus 5 or iPhone 5S.
If you like send me an private messge.
Thanks

To my knowledge all 16GB phones are China-edition and thus
a) missing international LTE bands
b) come with a chinese OS (ColorOS) instead of CM
Afaik all early contest winners who won the 16GB edition were upgraded to white 64GB editions.

Your knowledge is wrong.
1. The LTE works fine in Europe for the chinese version.
2. You can flash CM11S stock image.
3. There are 16GB international phones for sure.

I bought mine from lenteen.fr , paid via paypal, received 1 week later
But now they ship from EU (mine was shipped from china) and it should take around 48h

If your buying on Gumtree then make sure you pick it up as there are a lot of paypal scammers on there.
I'm selling one of mine on there at the moment and I have had a few people asking if I would post and take paypal even though I offered to deliver(I travel a lot with work) so you just know they would make a paypal claim as soon as they get the phone.
Likewise if your buying on there you get a lot of scammers looking to pull a fast one.
If you are buying a sealed in box phone then you can't check for the yellow screen until you pay for it.

That's a dangerous statement as neither chinese nor international OnePlus work as expected across all of Europe due to the missing LTE band 20.
Furthermore the chinese 1+ is missing LTE bands 4/17/38/40 which equals to 43% of all LTE bands missing. True it will work in most parts of Europe where the international one is working due to Europe's huge reliance on LTE bands 3/7/20.
Additionally the chinese version is missing 3G/HSPA band 4
Conclusion: my point still stands that the chinese version is NOT the same as the intl. connectivity-wise.

I specifically said "comes with", not that CM11S cannot be flashed anyway. Even if it is not very likely, they could break CM11S official updates based on IMEI, serial or other factors if you are not entitled to it. You would still have the "normal" CM11 though.

They changed production schedule way before mass-producing the device - only a few international devices were shipped with 16GB to journalists and maybe very early contest winners. Fact is that you could NEVER buy the 16GB intl edition.

Just bought mine off Gumtree from a local guy who had pre-ordered but bought an HTC M8 in the meantime.
£320 for a SandStone Black 64GB, brand new and unopened - absolute bargain

Hi there. Im from Barcelona, Spain, and I bought my Oneplus One from myefox.es. I bought the white 64GB one, with DHL shipping service (was here in 6 days) and it costed me 313€ total price (around 270 pounds, guessing) Yes, it is the chinese version, but it comes with CM11S installed, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery.
Works perfect, no problem with reception, calls, signal... not eiter in spain nor uk, as I travel to Glasgow quite often so, so far, so great!
I think it is a great deal, so you might want to go and check the website, I think they have one in english too, but this is the one that I bought it from.
Regards to all XDA community,
Paco.

Sorry, you're right. No invites for 16gb phones now..
As for CM, since they posted a ROM on their website, it's very unlikely they would ever start doing something you mentioned to the CN versions... Even if the 1% chance came to be, you can always get the latest OTA zip on xda

Gumtree probably best place like I said just meet them at there house or yours exchange details if you feel need. There some good deals ATM

This thread is reserved for unlocked T-mobile V10 on AT&T network

Since it appears the AT&T V10 is bootloader locked. I will not purchase another bootloader locked phone, period! This thread is information on using the T-Mobile V10 on the AT&T Network. Discussion should include LTE bands, apps, signal problems, carrier unlocking methods, etc.
T-Mobile unlocking policy
Key posts in this thread:
Why Band 17 is missing on T-Mobile and AT&T listed LTE bands for V10. Thanks @ubergeek77
Confirmation that band 17 works! Thanks @eazyg
WARNING - Only T-Mobile can unlock your phone. Thanks @ubergeek77
How to purchase a T-Mobile V10 without a plan. Thanks @charlieb620
How to fix battery drain from com.android.phone on AT&T
Will update this thread with other key posts as needed.

http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-v10-lg-h960-with-us-lte-compatibility-passes-fcc.html
This looks interesting. Looks like band 17 is included.
Note as information is confirmed, I will change the OP.
Thanks.

The other thread mentioned T-Mobile chat said a T-Mobile account holder could check in their My T-Mobile page. I looked, "Technical specifications not available for this device."
Also, the box does not list any band support.
Also, I can't test another SIM really since I don't have SIM unlock (you can request it from T-Mobile if your device is paid off or you're going overseas).

I guess the only real way to find out is to actually buy the phone, try it for ourselves, and do a speed test. I'll volunteer, but since I called T-Mobile and they refuse to sell the phone without a plan, I have to wait for Best Buy to start selling the phone. Shouldn't be long, as I called them and was told to check back on Monday. Plus, since the terms for LG's special SD card offer (which ends in about two weeks) lists Best Buy as a seller, they will probably start selling them within the next week. But then I'll have to wait for T-Mobile to send me an unlock code, which will only take 3 days. Worst case scenario, 4G either doesn't work or is garbage and I have to return the phone, which I'll have 14 days to do for a full refund.
But if anyone figures out we get decent/excellent LTE speeds before I end up buying it, that would be awesome

According to the specs at http://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phones/lg-v10.html?icid=WMM_TM_Q415LGPPLS_8HBL95OSNEJ3237#features (also in the screen shot)

LTE: 2,3,4,5,7,12,20
Looks like it has 2 and 4 for AT&T but no 17 or 30 (for later). Though band 12 should be supported next year anywhere band 17 works.

Since 12 and 17 are both a part of LTE700, do we know for sure if that will be enough to use AT&T's 4G network assuming we have the T-Mobile V10?

I put an app on a T-Mobile Note 3 named LTE Discovery. One must have band 17 for LTE in my location for AT&T LTE. On the T-Mobile web site the Note 3 does support LTE band 17. This does not look good, but will wait until someone confirms. At least on the FCC site the phone has been approved for LTE band 17 but it is not clear if this is the AT&T or T-Mobile version. One last thing the AT&T website does not list support for LTE band 17 either (very strange). Here is the AT&T V10 Bands: LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 29, and 30
Will try to buy this phone if they will unlock it at the store. Fat chance.

They won't, but T-Mobile made it very clear that they would send me an unlocking code after I bought the phone (paid in full), so long as I can wait 2-3 days. This is why I want to wait until Best Buy sells it, because their return policy is so rock solid, and I can take advantage of that if 4G doesn't work. I can't say the same for trying to return the phone to T-Mobile. Plus, I really like Best Buy's accidental damage plans, so I'll wait for them to start selling it there.

Good information but the local bestbuy only sales T-Mobile prepaid phones.

I picked up the v10 yesterday from T-Mobile and they gave me the phone and said they would unlock it immediately if I wanted to stay with AT&T. They will also finance it if I want. I told them exactly what and why I wanted to get this phone from T-Mobile instead of AT&T and they had absolutely no problem with it. I am testing the T-Mobile Service for now to see if it will work in my area. Would be close to $80 a month cheaper if I switch and a ton more data a month. Maybe certain areas have different rules? Not sure why my T-Mobile store would do that and others won't.

Different stores do different things. Reminds me of the cricket store here. I wanted to buy a sim card and port my number they told me to go to walmart to buy one and call cricket to port my number. Anyway my son-in-law went to the cricket store in his area and they not only gave him a free sim card but ported his number. These stores don't have consistent policies.
Whatever.

I was told that the stores themselves don't have any authorization to do that kind of thing (carrier unlock), and that I'd have to go through customer care if I wanted to unlock it.
Did they tell you that in person? I find that what you're told on the phone and what actually happens in person are two very different things.
Did you get it unlocked yet? Everyone's pretty eager to see if 4G works.

In person. I made it a point to ask. The guy that was helping me called his general manager to make sure. I didn't want to do this and get screwed over later if the guy didn't know what he was talking about.
Not unlocked yet. I'm finding the signal from T-Mobile is better than I had with AT&T so far. The true test will be when I go to work on Monday. For anyone with T-Mobile the service sucks inside the building I work in.

I definitely wish I could do the same. I have to drive nearly 70 miles to get to the nearest T-Mobile store, and of course they have coverage in that area, but they have absolutely no coverage where I actually live. If the phone works for sure on AT&T, I won't mind driving all that way to get it, nor will I mind paying the extra $35 for a stupid plan (really crappy that they force that on you), but I want to find all that out before I go an hour out of my way to find out I'm out of luck. I also really want to get this sorted out before the free SD card/battery promotion runs out. I'm considering just getting the AT&T one on a payment plan, but I just don't know how I'm going to get by without root.

At T-Mobile now to get unlock. Signal dropped as I drove past my job. I can't have the signal drop at work. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks! I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we all really appreciate it. If you could use the speedtest.net app too, that would be awesome!

I called all the t-mobile stores close by and none have had the v10 in stock. All said it could be ordered and delivered in 2-3 days. Either they didn't have many or this is a hot phone.

There were only 2 stores in my area that had it and both probably sold out last night or today. (there's a ton of stores near me but only the "big" ones had it in stock yesterday.)
I was in store buying mine around 530 last night and a guy came in to get one as I was finishing up. The rep that was helping me was also going to buy one that evening and they only had like 4 left when I originally called.
I think its going to be more popular than they are anticipating because of the **removable battery and sd card**!
Samsung ditched a lot of people when they dumped the battery and sd and we've been waiting!

Any online retailers in Canada selling the LG V20?

Newegg.ca was carrying some stock this morning, but an hour later they were sold out. Any other online retailer carrying this phone? I don't want to get the one from B&H as there will be customs and duties charged on an already pricey phone.
Finally made up my mind after reading some reviews this morning (I was considering the Pixel XL - I have a Nexus 6 currently), however I prefer the slightly bigger screen and replaceable battery on the V20 (I consider the rest of the features equivalent for my purposes). Found a couple on newegg.ca, but got distracted on a conference call, when I got back to the site, they were sold out....

Haven't seen it either. There is a tiny shop in Vancouver that appears to be selling it for $1300 but their website looks like its from 1999.

If we can buy the Tmobile variant with the $200 rebate it will be cheaper than buying it in Canada at any point in history I believe.
https://www.frequencycheck.com/compatibility/K0YNFay/lg-us996-v20-lte-a/canada (LG H918TN) The LG V20 F800 is not useful in Canada.
B&H you can order, get a tablet, and some headphones. Of course you need a place to ship in the USA to pick up or use something like skypax or w/e.

Just remember that if you buy the T-Mobile phone you have to use it on their network for 40 days before getting it unlocked. Do NOT expect to get it unlocked from a 3rd party site. It won't work. I went down this road with the v10 and it is not a pleasant experience.

Probably a better choice to just buy the B&H variant then, you get free headphones, free tablet, and an unlocked phone. I thought t-mobile was all unlocked phones, the uncarrier.

You won't be disappointed,virtually no 3rd party bloat (facebook can be disabled),as most of the T-Mobile garbage can be disabled as well.

I just got the order confirmation:
As T-Mobile is different from other carriers,the usual 3rd party unlock codes DO NOT WORK,methods that are specific to T-Mobile's Device Unlock App are the only ones that will work w/current/newer T-Mobile phones.
Basically,if the phone comes with the Device Unlock app,you have to use the method specific for devices with that app:
Here's another example of what I'm talking about,from another supplier:
https://www.masterunlockcode.com/lg-u-s-a-t-mobile-unlock-via-[unlocking-app]-lg-v20-unlock-code-np-2383-21613
Yeah,it's expensive,all unlock services are with brand new devices,the prices do drop relatively soon.
The one I used in my previous post is $15 less expensive than this one,there's probably others out there,just pick one you like.
Again,my order should deliver mid-week,so,I'll post my results,perhaps save you some trouble should the unlock request be unsuccessful.
FWIW,the service I used has a money back guarantee,just follow the links I posted & follow the instructions in the correspondence after the order & you should be good to go.
Another BTW,I am a T-Mobile US customer with the T-Mobile variant of the V20,financed via JOD.
This shouldn't have any bearing on the success/failure on the unlock request,just a BTW. :good:

Well I used 3 different unlock site for my v10 and all 3 refunded me because of changes to the tmo device unlock app they couldn't do it anymore. Feel free to try but what I had to do was buy a prepaid birth American roaming plan for $50 usd a month and use it for over 40 days so it cost me $100 usd and then after 40 days send a ton of unlock requests. Finally after going through a ton of hours of tech support I got ahold of a lady in the vice president office who was able to grant the unlock. I posted the ladies info in the v10 and g5 forums somewhere in one of the several "unlock help" threads. It is a known problem for people who bought tmo devices hoping to use on other networks. So you've all been warned to prepare for a painful ordeal. Who knows maybe you get lucky.
What's B&H ?
Oh and what has my interest is the LG theme system. I've got my hands on the black and gold theme apk and took a peak at it. I'm gonna try and modify it slightly and get someone to test to see if it will install and be accessible like their other themes. If that's the case then I can make themes for it without issue. Unlike samscum who's themes don't install like a normal apk. That's gonna be the deciding factor if I get one of these or not

I've used UNLOCK BASE in the past without issue & they do offer a guarantee,I used PayPal to check out,so,I'm not out any $$ for 14 days.
Should it not work,a call to PayPal will cancel the payment/transaction within minutes,so,virtually risk-free.
I know that's of little consolation for those on another network & paying for a device full price with usability still in question.
That's why I'm giving it a shot with this phone/service,it's the least I could do to help out the community.

The B&H phone has the same model number as the t mobile one from what I can tell. And in general, are there android phones that are not carrier locked but have locked boot loaders?

I don't want to deal with the customs/duties etc and would rather wait till I can get it from a Canadian site like newegg.ca. I've been burned too many times with customs/duties and its a hassle driving down to Buffalo to get the phone - working too many hours these days.
Surely there's got to be more than one retailer selling the phone in Canada?

Wow that's awesome. Maybe they figured out a way to bypass the unlock app. That would be excellent if they did. Happy you didn't have to experience what I and other suffered through

I've used this exact same service for at least 3 T-Mobile devices with the Device Unlock app & have never had an issue whatsoever.
One big BTW:
This has to be performed on an unrooted device,however,once unrooted (which I had to do on one of my phones), the service works as intended.
Re-rooting the device has no effect on SIM Unlock status afterwards.(I'm certain most are aware of this, but, just putting it out there, since this T-Mobile Device Unlock app & 3rd party unlock method is new to a lot of users everywhere). :good:

I wonder if Wind would sell me one - I'm with Fido.

Mate 9 Pro-> Available at all? in U.S.?

The Porsche Design is incredibly expensive. But they have announced a Mate 9 Pro, and is on their web site here. But no information on versions, or places to purchase.
Google search not turning anything up either.
Seems like this time of year would be good time to get this stuff out there and available.

It's only a limited release so far.
It's available in China, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Your only way of getting it would probably be to import a Chinese version. I've yet to see a Nordic shop ship internationally even though it would probably be preferable (albeit more expensive) to get one from a Nordic country.
Other than that, you can only cross your fingers and hope it sees a wider release. I'm guessing they're testing to see the reception of a curved amoled display for future devices.

Thanks

Sweden and most of the others appears to be pre order from 20th.
i've found a couple of shops in sweden that will ship to other countries when they do have stock...

If you find out where the Pro is available for purchase online, please post.

Yeah, a lot of people like me have interest on this Model.

Sure. Likewise, of course.

Misco in sweden will post overseas but they only taking pre orders and are not guaranteeing it'll be instock by 20th. They said telcos will get them first so maybe try them....

aliexpress is already selling this phone.

Yup. It sure is. Although it is not available from a supplier in the U.S.
One of my concerns about purchasing a phone that would not be from a vendor in the U.S. is support. Even if the support is 'good', timing for handling would be an issue, I presume. Maybe my concern is not valid...I don't know.
The other thing for me is if I purchase a phone (especially one in that price range) I want to be able to evaluate it for at least a couple weeks and return it if it's not for me for whatever reason. The Oneplus 3 has a 14 day policy, and the Axon 7 has 30 days.

I talked to Huawei customer support today inquiring about the Mate 9 Pro because I have been wanting to get one but was told that they do not recommend buying it from 3rd party vendors or sellers and there is no warranty for the international version of the phone if you use it in the U.S.
Well, that ended my hopes of getting an expensive unlocked phone. Might as well wait for the upcoming phones...

Some re-sellers offer warranty support.
I wouldn't worry about it... I've never had to use warranty service for any of my smartphones. I've been searching but can't find any places selling this phone in silver/gray at a decent price... most are $1,000+. I already got burned when I bought my international Mate 9 (lost $200 when I sold it after the unexpected U.S. release).

Very valid. I bought a Mate 9 Pro in the USA via a seller on ebay. The sellers post just said huawei has 12 month warranty. Which is true. Just incomplete
After i received the device, i could figure out:
Huawei does not seem to have global warranty support == you need to send in the device for any form of repairs to the country where it is originally from.
My device seems to be from Taiwan, but that is just conjecture by me because the packaging has a URL from Taiwan on it. Alas, the Taiwanese Huawei site is one of the few that does not have online warranty check and when i sent an email to them from the webpage to inquire about my warranty status, i never got a reply. Maybe they can not or do not want to talk english. Or deal with overseas sold units customers.
Aka: i guess i am pretty much out of luck wrt. warranty unless i learn chinese and jump into a plane to taipeh. Which could be fun . But i guessed something like that to be the situation before i bought the phone, so no big surprise.

i got my mate 9 pro from ebay too. and it's also from taiwan. it's the gray one and it's only $878 + intl express shipping. i think it's the cheapest gray mate 9 pro coz some sellers from aliexpress sells it for even more than $1000 coz it's very rare. and they are selling the chinese version too. mine's international, i got it after 5 days here in new zealand via dhl. didn't have pay any import dutiesas well. the seller only sold 4 of these and i was one of the luckiest to grab the sale. here's the link:

That is a great price! Gray does seem to cost a lot more because it's unavailable mostly... there's a AL00 (China) model open box on eBay, but I'm afraid of dealing with annoyances from buying a Chinese model.
I've just ordered the gold via Amazon Prime for $889. At least that way I actually CAN easily return the phone and get my money back if I don't like it... or if Huawei does a release in the U.S. soon I won't get screwed.

I think I might have seen the same listing on Amazon as you for the gold one. But I got my gold model m9pro for $773 with free shipping (no tax) on ebay. it was a great deal and have been loving the phone. I got the C636 build which I believe is the European version but could be wrong.

It is available through Amazon (all versions-Porsche, Pro, USA and International).

I just checked your link, Porsche was there, no Pro. One said it was a Pro, and I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the Pro is 6GB of memory, and the one listed said 4 GB.
A The only reason I would want a Pro is for 6GB of memory.

There are 2 variants of the pro: 4/64GB and 6/128GB.

Who is getting one ?

I am wondering if the camera is an upgrade from V40. I am also wondering if the Quad DAC tuned by Meridian sounds as good or better than V40.
Who else is ordering?
I can see them listed on ebay. Very tempting.

Check Wonda Mobile, it may not be the European version but it's a lot cheaper, so waiting for the price to drop or when more LG G8 become available!

I'm in Canada. My carrier is Bell mobility. Bought the Korean version LG V50 with dual screen as a package. Bought it on eBay. I'm loving my day to day use on it, it's a excellent kickass product.

Sadly not available in the UK via eBay, I wonder how it compares to the G8 as this would be my first LG phone.

In the UK the V50 will be quite pricey on contact so Wonda might be an option. I'm weighing up getting the V50 or something like the Lenovo Z6 Pro which is getting a global release this Thursday on Aliexpress - Lenovo's official store having a sale I think. Lenovo Z6 Pro is only £400 - looks a great bargain.
Both LG and Lenovo don't have a great track record of updating Android but Lenovo might be improving as two updates have been issued since the Z6 Pro was released in April.

Prices are in dollars, and delivered by Fedex .
I ordered on a Monday and got it on the Friday of the same week.
I followed it on tracking and was a bit jealous as it took a tour round Paris before getting to me,
After getting the phone I received an email from fedex with a £25.00 charge for import duty.
Hope this helps.

Forecast price in UK is £805 for the handset only and over £100 for the second screen. I can't find a price for the second screen by itself.
I think I'm on or about the price it will go for in the UK. However EE have exclusive rights in The UK or at least they say they do so I don't know if you will be able to buy a sim free phone in the near future in the UK.

Will post full details later. First impressions: looks and feels great, fingerprint magnet. Worked with phones for a long time and couldn't shake the feeling that it felt familiar, especially with the dual screen, and then it hit me......

I have the Korean version but without the second screen, so trying to find that accessory which is proving impossible ATM.

Price reduced to £653, must be the last one, tempting but I want the G8.

I've one. Cinese version. No problem in Italy with this version

I got the phone from wonda three days ago. The phone is amazing.
Although I wish the UI could look more stock like Asus or Nokia.

I'm thinking of getting one, but I first need to know if it is rootable
