Aussie Users

Just wondering is there are any Aussie users of the G Pro 2?
Obviously its not available here, and the grey imports only work on the Optus network
They are so cheap at the moment - wondering if I should just get it

It's a great phone, I brought mine off becextech. I've got my 32gb black model running pretty well on Telstra. The problem is if you wanna do customisation (you will want to with this phone) you can't due to all its restrictions. I think you should do a little more searching around because it's not perfect.

Thabks for the heads up.. Do you regret getting it?

Yeah sorta, the 3G/hspa bands that Telstra uses in rural areas arent supported on the G Pro 2, or at least my D838 model.

Thanks
Good to know - Im still unsure , as I would only ever use it on Optus , which works perfect
Maybe try sell yours on gumtree and go for the G3?

I might just steer clear of phones with stupidly secure bootloaders because I can't stand not being able to flash a file through TWRP

GM1910 or GM1913 in Australia?

Hey guys!
I'm in Australia, and looking at 2 versions of the OP7pro.. A GM1910 with flashed OS, or the GM1913 which i understand is the official international version.
Is there any risk with either? I'm assuming they both have the correct bands and should be no issues.
Thanks in advance for any help :good:

I bought the GM1910 via ebay, and everything works fine.
It comes with OOS flashed.

As far as I know the Chinese version GM1910 and international versions all have the same bands. American variant is the only one that has different (more) LTE bands. You can switch to OOS from HOS by simply placing OOS update zip to sdcard, going to OTA update menu and run a local upgrade. I got mine(8+256) from the offical Chinese Oneplus website for about an equivalent of 655 USD tax and shipping (China domestic shipping) included.

I got the 1910 with hos. I flashed oos on it and it's been great. Only issue I have is no volte or vowifi

Got the GM1910 too on Boost/Telstra. OOS 9.5.8 is going awesomely

those with the gm1910, do you have wifi issues with custom kernels and havoc?

GM1917 here, works perfectly. I got it from the US store using Shopmate to forward to Australia.

Google Pay working?
Hey guys, I am planning to buy the OP7 pro GM1910 but got a question. After flashing with OOS all the SafetyNet features are working properly? I mean Google Pay works with no issues? I am worry I will not be able to use Google Pay or even download Netflix as it happens when flashing with Lineage OS or similar, thanks.

1910 here, everything works fine on Optus, including Google pay ect as asked above me.

Oh that sounds great, another quick question. What about the OTA updates, security patches and OS updates are they arriving with no issue? Or do you need to flash it again when a new OS update arrive? I just read that One Plus is actively updating their OS to do some improvements on the 7 Pro

I have GM1910. I want to ask if i can be able to use 3 (UK Sim) with my phone when im in europe? Am i gonna encounter some problems with the band issues connecting to the internet? Thanks

Do the curved edges on the screen become annoying when watching youtube/netflix or do you guys thinks this is a one up compared to the Xiaomi mi 9t pro or the asus zenfone 6?

I've tried the ZenFone 6 and have always ended up back at the OP7 pro, the edges aren't aggressive with the curves, but there there, and definitely not annoying. With a case on it you can easily hold the phone without touching the screen while watching a video ECT. It's good ?

Yes, I've had this with Smurf kernel.
You should flash the wifi fix version or in the Smurf kennel config file, apply wifi fix and then flash the kernel again.

I'm in UK, I purchased a find x2 Pro, need global Rom?

Is there any global Rom? How to flash?
Many thanks

Single/Dual-SIM version

Do you own a single-SIM or dual-SIM variant?
For some inexplicable reason Oppo sells two versions of this phone - dual-SIM in China and single-SIM in the rest of the world.
If you own a single-SIM version, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a global ROM on your device.

It came from China and has Chinese apps, so I'm guessing dual sim

May I ask you, who did you buy it from?
Here in the Czech Republic there's a reseller who claims he buys all the phones in the UK and he offers a dual-sim (Chinese variant) of Find X2 Pro.
When I e-mailed him, he told me that the manufacturer would flash a global ROM before the dispatch and, therefore, from him I would receive a dual-SIM (Chinese) version of the phone with Global ROM.
So I'm a bit confused.

It's not out in the UK until the end of May, hence me getting a Chinese one, I used Ali Express

I suspect the global Rom will drop/Leake once the UK varient is out, I emailed Oppo who told me they are not doing a golobal ROM but clearly that's not true when you look at Youtubers etc

Why don't you order it from the Netherlands? Single sim model, international version.

Because I already ordered and I'm using it now as I type this

It's bizarre the rom numbering. I got the April updates via Malaysian oppo (posted elsewhere on here) but this is listed as A.13.
However, it appears there is an A.14 named version which appears to be same changes as A.13 from Malaysia? ?

Could you possibly tell us what improved? Youtube is not covering this as the phone isn't wide-spread yet. Thanks!

I also have a Chinese X2 Pro and got my firmware updated to A.08, it says the camera has improvements as well as stabilization.
I haven't played with the camera too much yet. What are the massive improvements you are noticing?

Will flashing a GM1917 rom on a GM1915 make it think its a 1917

Recently got moved to AT&T from tmobile and now AT&T is claiming my device in incompatible because they are opportunistic. I have all but one 3g band and one 4g band so it in theory should work aside from their device whitelist. If I could change the phone to a GM1917 there is a chance the network would accept it.
My phone is already rooted and I can easily flash a new rom but would like to know if doing so would make a difference before I go through that ordeal and loss of data.
Will a rom change what the phone thinks it is or not? Thanks for any help!

No. I have YAAP flashed and it still says GM1915. AT&T probably checks the IMEI and sees it's a GM1915 and denies you VoLTE. You could fool them by changing your IMEI but discussion of that is not allowed and IT IS HIGHLY ILLEGAL, so DO NOT do it.

Can I see some screenshots of AT&T working on LineageOS GM1915, currently planning to buy this version since its the only popular one on eBay and I am really considering on planning to get the OnePlus 7T since its Unlock versions can be find cheaper or the same price as the GM1915?

I would personally go with 7 Pro since it's slightly better phone and more importantly it seems more popular here in community.

ok, i just hope the sim works

It doesn't matter if the ROM shows a different model if the network doesn't see it that way. You still DON'T get VoLTE. Don't show me an enabled checkbox to prove it. I've been there and it doesn't work.

General Google delivers Android 13 December 2022 update for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro

Google delivers Android 13 December 2022 update for Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro
Google has announced a major feature update for Pixel smartphones running Android 13. As of the December 2022 update, the likes of the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro support a dedicated reader mode and can share digital car keys with other compatible smartphones, among other changes.
www.notebookcheck.net

I put mine on the beta channel release. Coming from a P6P, using straight talk, it would not accept the sim.
Called Straight talk, which was useless. They said I had to buy a new sim card. Saw on a thread here that the
beta channel rom fixed it. Sure enough! After reboot, the sim card worked!

I was expecting 5g update, disappointing...

Nothing here. UK Sim free.

I wouldn't hold your breath. They either chose horrible hardware, don't know how to fix it, or won't because we will buy a new Pixel. With that being said, I actually think that the 7 Pro is an improvement over the 6 pro. My battery and performance is dramatically improved because of the updated Tensor chip and I don't have the cell standby bug that plagued me in the 6 pro.

This isn't the full release notes.

That article from notebookcheck.net referencing the Google Blog only concerns the "Android Feature Update", which is for GMS Android users. There is also a "Pixel Feature Drop" which Pixel users will likely get tomorrow. Plus there will likely be other "fixes" and whatnot.

Unfortunately for me the bug still exists P7P. I am not sure if different hardware release have different modems. But my phone is useless at the moment.

What's your setup? I'm rooted custom kernel and 1 ESIM using Xfinity Mobile. I also didn't restore settings with 6 pro backup. I flashed BL and modem before clean flashing stock to root

I am in 5G unsupported country and I am using physical SIM I have tried to disable DSDS but it didn't seem to stick. I have tried with stock and beta QPR1 same result. Which custom kernel would you recommend? I think the issue is with the radio and the Samsung Shannon 5300G. I am not sure if there is a radio firmware I could try.

"I am in 5G unsupported country"
I fail to understand the complaints from people who live in "unsupported" countries!
Why would you even consider buying ANY phone that is unsupported in any way?
The fault is yours not Googles! YMMV

Probably because they wanted a pixel but Google only officially sells phones in like 4 countries (exaggerating but probably not by much). I want phones available outside of the USA all the time but my wonderful carrier (verizon) and to a degree the other carriers as well suck and want big money to certify the ability to use their towers (bands). Stuck mainly with iSheep, Samdung, One Plus (already settled) and Google (constant hardware problems).

It will be difficult for me to make you understand anything since you fail to understand simple things like why anyone would pick a Google phone instead of another brand. Anyway I had Nexus and Pixel phones in the past and they have worked just fine. I was very well aware 5G and VoLTE don't work and I was not after these features. I would be perfectly fine with just 4G. Mine Pixel 6 Pro and Pixel 2 XL worked flawlessly. I might have a faulty hardware I am not sure at this point. If you could not help me at least don't blame me for my choices, the money I have spent are mine not yours. Like I have said I know since the beginning some of the feature would not work and this was a risk I was willing to take since I wanted a "clean" android and rootable + unlocked bootloader (there are not many phone manufacturers offering such features). I was not expecting the Pixel to not support any well established telecom standards. Aside from that I live in Europe and I bought the phone from neighboring country. It is not from Japan or US/Canada with different bands.

@xpact , it might be your phone or possibly faulty modem hardware. I am in the US using the 7P7 (rooted, unlocked) without any issues (I keep 5G off) 99% of the time. Once in a while I have to restart my phone or turn airplane mode on and off because I would randomly lose service. Its pretty rare though and even less now after the November update.

Question for the group and I hope I'm in the right spot. I got my 7 pro last week. So I went to the Factory image page. I'm on Verizon so I took the verzon update. Now I see a update just for global. Should I wait on the Verizon or can I just install the global one? I'm new to Pixel experience.

I bought the unlocked P7P from Google and Verizon is my carrier. I have only been flashing the generic firmware to avoid VZW bloatware as much as possible. I haven't had any issues.

I bought it from Germany as well ) The previous pixel I had I bought it from UK and the Nexus 6P from UK as well. But the ones from UK I did not bought on first date but few months after they might had different hardware modem revisions.
