Some have asked.. So heres the pic and info.
- No branding on phone physically what so ever
- T-Mobile logo on boot
- Tiny "w'n'w" on the internet icon

is it sim-unlocked?

Hi
Could you tell me if the phone is able to show the 576MB of memory? It should be in the 'About Phone' menu options. The last I remember is that this was a kernel fix and most of the custom ROM's now have a fix for it.

Those details aren't within the "About Phone" area im afraid - cant find them anywhere.. Hardware Info only shows Wifi Mac Address and Bluetooth Address.

Damn that AMOLED screen looks amazing :drool:
Will be the first time I see/own a AMOLED screen. Somewhere in April I will be getting the Desire.. enjoying my HD2 until I sell it.

Just received mine from T-Mobile today as well, though noticed that there is no voice search built in...any suggestions on how to add this? Looking for a suitable apk atm (if any rom chefs have it to hand it would be much appreciated!)

Ok mate, many thanks for your help with this. I had a nexus one which didn't initially show full memory, but now there is a patch which lets the OS see it all and use it. I am expecting that that fix is already in the kernel.
Thanks, enjoy your phone; I will, on monday..

Hi guys,
I just registered but been reading these boars for a little while.
I was wondering if someone who just got the phone could tell me the exact size of the screen (in cm or mm if possible).
I ordered screen protectors from Germany, got them today but they look too small for the phone. Since I don't have mine yet (not until April 5th), I need to confirm or infirm that they sent me the wrong size.
Thanks guys!

I can tell you the answer to this - because i bought the same screen protectors .
Yes they are to small.. Completely useless purchase.

Also, can't seem to find a way to kill Sense...wanted to check out vanilla Android 2.1 but if I remove the defaults from HTC Sense and kill the app it just restarts...

Hey guys could you tell me which ebay user you bought the protectors from? I have ordered some too and my desire is coming on monday...
I bought from protectionfilms24, if they're too small I'll have to complain!
Thanks

Thats the one bud - rip off.. I cba chasing a refund for the sake of £2.50, as it'll mean sending them back.

Yup, they're the same ones I got as well, same Ebay seller.
Bummer, now I wonder where to find good ones. Maybe the official ones on play.com?

Same thing as the HTC Hero -
http://www.androidguys.com/2009/10/22/how-to-turn-off-htc-sense/

shucks. what a rip off!! I think I'll go to play.com to order the official ones then. On another note, is everyone who's unlocking pretty much stuck on doing it through t-mobile then?

I emailed the seller, they said they're gonna check if they didn't send me the wrong size. They replied only a couple of hours after I emailed them so I guess they're pretty trustworthy, at least on this.
Just fyi, the protectors I have are 52*31 mm in size.

Received a free Galaxy Nexus from Google!!

The company I work for is a direct partner with Google. They were in our office today for a quarterly update. While they were here they gave a free unlocked Galaxy Nexus to the client leads of the top 3 (highest ad spend) accounts. Luckily I was one of the 3.
I am coming from the Samsung Galaxy S2. Right now I have to say that I am surprised at how similar the two phones actually are. But I am loving the full ICS experience found on the Nexus.
Anyway, just wanted to share my story. I'm excited to see how the development section for this phone turns out.

You got the GSM version (with original packaging).
Enjoy it! It's a great device.

congratz dude!

Are you in the US? If so, I'm surprised they gave you the GSM one. But it's awesome.

Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited.

Yeah, I live in Denver. It's funny you said that. One of the guys who won one is on Verizon and he tried to activate it with them. Verizon said it wouldn't work on their network. He asked Google if he could swap his unlocked GN for a Verizon GN and they told him they didn't have any with them or at headquarters.

Agreed. He is debating his options over the weekend. I think it's funny considering he can't use his GN because he is on Verizon. Ironic...

Interesting. I just texted my coworker to get in contact with one of our reps at the Mountain View location to see if they can swap it out. The reps that visited us were 'positive' they didn't have any Verizon version on hand.

Haha I've actually acquired about 10 of them over the past couple of years. Unfortunately, this is my favorite one to date. I have a few black ones and red ones I don't wear if anyone wants them. One medium and the rest are larges.

I actually have a LTE version that I want to swap for a GSM one. I have T-Mobile and signing up for a Verizon plan would cost me over $20 a month extra. PM'ing you. I'm still debating going with Verizon, if only to keep the 32GB of space.

Congrats enjoy Google

Congratulations. I'm jealous.

@sn0warmy
Could you post your build.prop for us so we can see if it differs from the normal UK imported GSM versions?

I was going to take a screen shot but I'm not sure how. So here are some specs, let me know if it's something else you are looking for...
Basband: I9250XXKK1
Kernel: 3.0.1 -ge2433f2
Build Number: ITL41D

Getting my S9 8th of March

I'm getting my S9 in a few days. Not sure if it's normal or not, but got confirmation that I can pick it up 8th of March.
Thought the release were 16th of March?

i'm getting mine today, so nothing special, i think the demand is very soft on this year's model

Where did you two order yours from?

Yeh, its eerily quiet in the S9 forums too, unlike last year where every country and carrier had their own s8/s8 plus "waiting rooms" lol. The buzz is nowhere near as strong as last year. I'm getting mine on Friday hopefully. I'm in the UK and I'm looking forward to it, im a sucker for new phones ?

Mine is being shipped on 8th and should be with me on the 9th, bonus of pre-ordering is getting it a little bit early.
Ordered mine via Samsung Upgrade Program.

I'm in the US and I pre-ordered (unlocked version) from Samsung. I'm having trouble figuring out when it should ship. Anybody have a clue?

Delivery by the 14th apparently. No idea what day they will actually ship.

Update.... according to Samsung customer service, I'll have the new device in hand by March 14th. This is for a pre-ordered unlocked version (US version) directly from Samsung.

Been notified mine is arriving tomorrow ( 8th ) - Carphonewarehouse UK

I ordered mine about 5 minutes after the pre orders went live. I'm in the US, is it only in the UK they are shipping early?

Is this for real or just clickbait?

Certainly not the US version but if the OEM unlock option is available in settings then I guess it's possible on the few other places that got the snapdragon.

The author made a comment claiming that the OEM Unlock will appear if the phone is left on for a week. Check it out.
I don't think that is correct though. I'm pretty sure my S9 has been left on for over a week and it hasn't appeared.

Well nothing on mine Canadian version. NO OEM Unlock

I have a Samsung Galaxy A01 (SM-A015M/DS) Latin American version, Region Panama, with Snapdragon processor. My experience posted here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-root-device-samsung-galaxy-a01-t4167509
The OEM UNLOCK appears but all of the usual unlock proccedure produces no Bootloader Unlock when it resets.

Real world views on the HD1900 7T available 'on the cheap'

I have a genuine question (no, I'm not the amazon seller in camouflage ) about buying a HD1900 variant Oneplus 7T
FWI This is the Chinese version of the phone, probably sold/ sourced in HK and imported.
For me in the UK it's available at a stonking discount here
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oneplus-Unlocked-Smartphone-HD1900-Inches/dp/B07ZKDPSVN/
400 GBP
My simple question is: Surely somebody else on the XDA has bought such a device? Can you report if there are any obvious problems or gotchas?
Things like:
- Which ROM is installed & is it a EURO one with the Google Play Store fully installed
- Both SIM card slots work on 4G UK networks
- It can be rooted and unlocked as normal
- I suppose mainly , once an International ROM is installed it is in every way the same as a regular European version phone (well except that the warranty would come only from the amazon seller, and means they have to stay in business!)
Anybody?
(NB: I saw the post on the person who bought a French version of this phone, but nothing for the UK variant?)

I have the Chinese HD1900 variant. It comes with Hydrogen OS but you can install Oxygen OS international very easily.
Supported 4G-LTE bands:
FDD-LTE:B1,2,3,4,5,7,8,12,13,17,18,19,20,26,28,29
TDD-LTE:B34,38,39,40,41
3G/2G:
TDSCDMA:B34,B39
UMTS(WCDMA):B1,2,4,5,8,9,19
CDMA:BC0,BC1
GSM:B2,3,5,8

^^Volte works?

VoLTE works fine on HD1900 here in the States.

It won't come with a UK 3 pin charger and I guess you won't be covered by any manufacturer warranty

It kinda sucks. Lags a bit. Cannot root. Compared to my ancient Oneplus One, the HD1900 is slightly better but not a huge improvement.

It's more between 5 and 6 weeks. 6 weeks for each of my 2 OnePlus 7T (Aliexpress and Gearbest).

??? This phone can be rooted and it works pretty well. Learn how to do it without TWRP it's not that difficult. I still have my Onplus One and comparison it is just a no brainer, don't say BS. Even this morning I took photos with both phones in same situation to compare, the OnePlus 7T is really better. I'm feeling I'm trying to answer to a troll here?!

You're probably right, I took the bait...

I ordered 2 of these (HD1900 256Gb model) from Ali Express when they had their sale on 11.11. I was lucky as despite the number they sold they shipped it within 8 days and 9 days later I received it in the UK (17 days from order, from China so not bad). Some recent orders have been taking longer I heard, so it's a bit of pot luck really.
The phones are great. The seller open the box and flash Oxygen OS (Global Version) on the phone prior to shipping it as it originally comes with Hydrogen OS being for the Chinese market. Comes with the chinese plug and a UK adapter, or other if different country. I did a factory reset before setting up the phone. If you want to convert it to EU, then just use Oxygen Updater from Play Store and flash the appropriate ROM. Very simple to do.
I'm guessing the one you are looking at on Amazon is not any different, but you'll at least get the Amazon cover if anything goes wrong. Warranty of course will be with China so forget about it. I have got phone insurance so I just rely on that.

Ordered my HD1900 256GB silver on eBay for £369 (with 5% eBay discount)
Took a while to come but I couldn't be any happier. I also had the 7t pro McLaren edition but I favoured this flat screen and sold the McLaren edition.
Love this phone its so sleek, fast, a good all round phone. Ive had no problems at all.
It came sealed with oxygen os installed already with an update out the box on mine so I was very surprised.
