Call recording? Where to buy? - OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers

I very much want to retain call recording on my next phone (which I need to buy asap before my old one dies). I was going to go with the OP7T since I have read it is still possibly with a rooted phone and it is one of the very few with for still possible.
Rooting without a idiot-proof tool-program is a bit off-putting though. And call-recording is the only reason I am interested in rooting (haven't felt the need for many years).
I have read that OnePlus phones have call recording enabled anyhow depending upon where the phone is purchased. What places would those be? UK or anywhere in the EU? USA? Gearbest?
Thanks in advance! I've just read the Asus ZenFone makes rooting incredibly easy so I guess that's also an option?

Can it install a 3.5 Jack too?

Haha nope and it also cannot install a notification led. I hope for you it doesn't have restrictions like the country you live in. You have to try it first.

How well is the call-recording working for the those of you enabling it with jOnePlus Tools w/o root?
I have read mixed reviews. So whats your experience?
I assume there is no other way enabling call-recording w/o root?

it's a shame that this core feature is hidden by the corporate.
however the function is there with every device i had since this option was hid.
that's why i prefer rooting to enable it.
rooting OnePlus is the easiest of all brands.
plus, the external apps are rarely working, and you have to pay to play.

Nevermind...

I know it's selfish, but living under the Heathrow flightpath, I'm kind of enjoying it. I can hear the birds!
Same here - it's idyllic bliss in 'ampstead without a bloody plane every 2 minutes. This is what it must have been like in the 1930s! Selfish or not, long may it continue (though the prospect of nose to tail flights through the night as they deal with the backlog isn't so attractive).

Who's Thinking Of Getting This Phone?

Hiya folks. I've had Xperia phones since 2010 and I'm thinking of replacing my broken Z3c with an XA1. However I really don't want to be tied into a 2 year contract for a handset that's unsupported.
So I was just wondering..I know it's early days..but is anybody else thinking of getting one of these?
If you're browsing this forum and considering a purchase, reply and let me know! :good:

I'm really curious with this phone. Instead of mediatek processor, do you ever experience any lag/error during multitasking? And I wonder how long this 2.300 ma power battery can stand for a day. Maybe you can share your screen on time with list of applications installed.

Hello, could you confirm one exciting feature of android 7 (atleast for me) that it works on this phone software.
As of Android 7.0 phone can read 2G/3G/LTE frequency without ROOT. Easiest way is to install app Cellmapper(mapping cell towers to map) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cellmapper.net.cellmapper
Could anyone run this app(enable "Use new Android 4.2 Cell ID API" in settings) and post screenshot while connected to LTE only or 3G when 4G not available(no wifi)? Also, maybe send debug report from settings menu to developer([email protected]) with screenshot.
Thank you

Well, I've got this phone now. Got it this afternoon. Initial impressions are good. Yes it's not a powerhouse but, for a mid range device, it's really not bad.
Hopefully I can get it rooted soon then I can mod the hell out of it.

I've had it less than a day so I can't really comment. But I haven't noticed any significant battery issues so far. I've come from the Z3 Compact and this seems to do everything I need it to do at the moment. The sound is good, picture quality is decent (yes, it's not full HD or whatever but it's a phone..if I really need amazing picture quality on my videos I'll use my TV) and the battery seems okay.
Like everything, it depends what you're using it for. If you spend your whole day playing Pokémon Go at full brightness while listening to music, your battery is going to be annihilated..

Just got my OP3, now what?

I have already unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, flashed Lineage 14.1 and rooted with Magisk. What else should I do that would contribute to my user experience? Other ROMs that you feel are superior to Lineage can be left here as well.

Yeah installed and ran it. Having a weird issue though, through some basic troubleshooting it seems I can't swipe through a portion of the screen, so mid scroll it will just stop. But I can still touch icons in that part of the screen so...? I have tried OOS, and Lineage and same issue. It might be hardware D:. Really don't want to have fault parts yet. Gonna open it tomorrow, could possibly be a lose connector but... I am doubtful.
Somehow I think you skipped the firmware updates with your flashing for testing. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/radio-modem-collection-flashable-zips-t3468628 and there grab "4.5.0 - Download - Firmware + Modem" and flash it in TWRP and I hope you use blu_spark's TWRP... (https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads)
PA has its own firmware anyways so FW shouldn't be an issue there. And if the problem persists on all ROMs, it probably really is hardware.

Since it is hardware, and since I bought it off Swappa, he had a 30 day return. I am better off just returning and buying a new OnePlus 3 than replacing digitizer myself right? Really disappointing got all excited.
If you can, sure. No point in trying to repair it if you can get a new one without additional cost.
Also, AFAIK OnePlus does not sell parts to third parties, so anything you find out there is not genuine but aftermarket.

M Pen for AL00 CN version?

I've taken the plunge and ordered the CN version. When shopping for an M pen I came across a couple of sellers with pens that they say are only for the Chinese version.
Is this true? Do I need a different M pen just because it's the Chinese version and not international?
Thanks

According to the customer q&a section in this Amazon listing https://www.amazon.com/Huawei-M-Pen-Mate-EVR-AL00-Gray/dp/B07KBF9Q61 even though some pens are advertised to "only" work with the Chinese EVR-AL00 version, ppl have responded that it works with global EVR-L29 too
Thanks for this clarification. Much appreciated.

the pen works for the mate 20x in general so the version doesnt matter
where did you order your phone from and how much did it cost you ?
Best price was around 617 GBP and is allegedly from Switzerland. God knows really but its a seller with good rep.

well yes at least to me, open box means someone opened it and then i cant be sure if its completely new or user return or sth but factory sealed means you are the first hand to open it since you pay alot of money for it lol
sadly enough, wondamobile and tradingshenzen both open the boxes and when i asked the later for a sealed factory they said we wont give you warranty then
I've only read them opening the boxes to put Google play on it. Which I can understand as it's beyond the skillz of most users to get the 3 apks on and working. But yes I see what you mean. I guess you could tell.be looking at battery charge cycles and stuff as to whether it had been used previously.

i wasnt aware of that but good to know and as you can see its best to be the first to open sth you spend lots of money on
I got my AL00 yesterday. It was an unopened box. Lots of Chinese stuff but enough things in English to let me get started.
I added Google Play after some searching around on how to do it. Hopefully all sorted now.
And a pen that was stated to be for the international version works fine with the Chinese one.

MSM Tool Available, Can anyone modify it?

I have MSM Tool for the 7T, but now we need someone who can modify it so we can convert to international. does anybody know the process or is familiar with it and confident enough to do it?
Thanks for getting it for us all. Now we have a restore method as well.
Is there a password on the tool?

In the previous thread, we discussed a method to convert T-Mobile 6T's to the international variant, sort of, but it required an unlocked bootloader, which itself requires a SIM unlock which T-Mobile gives people a hard time about.
However, it is through @Dark Nightmare and @iaTa's efforts that we've come this far. Today, I share with everyone a new method to turn a T-Mobile 6T into an international variant. One that does NOT require an unlocked bootloader or a SIM unlock!
Before you proceed: Following the steps below WILL wipe your phone. Please backup all of your important files from the phone before proceeding.

I PM'd mauronfrio, along with someone else, I do have the files unzipped, the ROM, MSM and the drivers.
I don't see anything in the post about how we patch the files. I would assume you need something from the international variant. I did not want to make a post with links because I don't know how to go about installing the drivers and I figured it would be better to wait until someone patches it but if anybody has driver experience and needs to restore their phone I will give you the link.

How did you manage that? I couldn't get the app to work with my P4XL even after they did the override.
If an unlock-less conversion method comes out for the 7T or McLaren 5G like it did for the 6T, I'm going to JOD to those.

Try going thru chat and ask them if the Sim unlock went thru, tell them they already approved it, in my case twice approved that's what I told them
