Hows your experience on T-Mobile?
How did Google install on the device??
Thanks
I have been using it on T-Mobile for months now other than 4G everything is the same as on Chinese carriers. Install Play Store and google sync from App Center to sync the contacts and you are good to go

i have the Huawei Honor X2 and I contact Huawei customer service and they send me an update which allow me to open 4G LTE. I was shocked because i was expecting just 4G but they unlocked it and I'm getting around 20 Mbps on T-mobile here in USA. Anyway I'm telling my story so you can do the same and enjoy your phone. I had a galaxy note 4 but now this phone is wayyyyy better than stupid Samsung.
Regarding your Honor X2

Hi,
Which model version of the Honor X2 are you currently using on T-Mobile US. I really want either the P8MAX or Mediapad X2; don't really care about the 4G issue at this point but, if I can get 4G on T-Mobile, I'd be a happy camper. Especially now that I'm going to let my Verizon Unlimited Data Feature GOOOOOOOO the way of the Dodo Bird. I know that the Honor X2 is just the Chinese market iteration and that it's basically the same Mediapad X2 with a different model name but, any info would be useful, especially, what department at Huawei did you contact to render this support? And, how did they facilitate the process of unlocking the 4G LTE? I've tried contacting Huawei just to get information on these two devices and have gotten no one to shed any light on USA Network Band compatibility. It's a shame that, we, as American consumers have to be at the mercy of whatever contracts and agreements the carriers sign or enter into with manufacturers and OEMs; in this case, Samsung and i Apple control everything that comes into this country which really screams anti-trust (which no one cares about at this point).
Thanks
Curious how they " unlocked" lte especially if US bands aren't supported???

Which begs my question: U.S. network band(s) compatibility, is that a true hardware issue or is it merely the code that's written into the system that bars (no pun intended) the reception of the U.S. bands' frequencies?
I highly suspect it is the latter because, I hacked a Verizon DROID 3 a couple of years ago to work with ALL GSM networks, including T-Mobile U.S. and AT&T U.S., which prior to my hack, wouldn't even recognize either carrier's SIM, let alone register on their respective 2G/3G frequencies. Anyone familiar with the Verizon DROID 3 knows that, in the U.S., it was locked for CDMA use ONLY. I was able to do this by editing the build.prop, using code from the Chinese (or international) DROID 3 (aka XT883, Motorola Milestone).
Anyone?

Where did you get yours?
Bought one last week on gizok, they still haven't shipped it but they emailed back and said they'd ship mine first lol, like they're sitting around waiting for enough orders to ship anything. C'mon man, this is $500 I'm spending in your store. Send it right away, ya know?
I'm using on go smart but they use T-Mobile towers and only at 3g speeds works great

Is this hspa+ 3G speeds or slower? The hspa+ should be 42mbps or 20something if it's the previous version.
Also gizok emailed me back saying they don't have mine in stock even though their website said they did, which is horse**** and the reason I ordered from them. So I'm grumpy and had them refund me. Hopefully that doesn't take as long as it took for them to realize they didn't have my item, which was like 2 weeks.
I then did another search and found this one, which is a better color and for cheaper so I'm not as grumpy now lol. Here's the listing if anyone else is looking for one:

Just a tip to all, if you know you will not be getting LTE, just turn it off in the setting(preferred network) so that your phone does not waste battery searching for it.
I'm about to sell mine cause of lack of development on it granted its a big screen but other then that Huawei's in house o.s is less to be desired in my opinion if kirin chip was more dev friendly but Huawei is more like Samsung and keeping there code secret

Hi, I'm heading back to asia in a few weeks and looking to buy this phone? was wondering if anyone that might already be using the phone on TELUS network? based on my research seems SIM 2 will support all the HSPA/LTE bands they provide. Thanks!!
Lol not that this would help any, but I'm deciding between the mate 9 and pixel xl and would be using either with rogers. I've seen a review on YouTube where the reviewer was using the mate 9 with bell.
Everyone else has gotten nougat but cricket. I've contacted both cricket and Samsung, still nothing and searched online so now I'm here asking if anyone knows anything about the update for my cricket s7. 6.0.1

Lol you're wasting your time.
no update on this? i want to buy the s8 from cricket which comes nougat out of the box but now i dont know if there will be future software updates
I just got the Nougat update on my Cricket S7. Updating now!
Seriously, since this got announced in May, has anyone on t-mobile gear s3. LTE gotten the software update? I'm starting to wonder if I have to figure a way to manually update the firmware soon.

I bought mine from a T-Mobile store this past Monday evening and it has 2.3.2.3 installed. Didn't check what version was on it when I bout it so unless it updated during the week and I didn't know about, that version was already installed out of the box.

Just ordered one and I looked around but can't find the answer. Does the Sprint model have the latest update that the unlocked model has?
Really looking forward to this phone.
Thanks.

If you want it and you want to be able to mod it don't go with Sprint right now. Got it 3 days ago didn't see that someone had posted it was not able to be unlocked on Sprint without I'm assuming buying the phone outright from them regardless I don't like how they did that.
I have not rooted since I got rid of my 6P so I'm not planning on doing it with this phone more than likely. I know updates won't be as quick as unlocked versions just curious if the sprint version is running the same as the unlocked. Not counting the 10 beta obviously.

From what I've read the bootloader cannot be unlocked therefore it cannot be rooted. A Sprint rep did confirm to me that there is a Closed Beta of Android 10 and the wait for stable Android 10 won't be long. No specific date was given. OnePlus' reputation for fast updates is one of the reasons I bought this phone. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Android 10 has already been released for Op7 pro but not yet for the Pro 5G.
