T-Mobile (USA) 7 Pro McLaren 5G

The T-Mobile (USA) carrier minority variant McLaren 7Pro 5G has so many negatives against it already.

There will be no global firmware to convert this exclusive T-Mobile model to, (the only other 5G model, 7 Pro 5G, has a different chipset, etc: ), and buyers will be at the mercy of TMO butchering the firmware and its usual slow or no, firmware updates.

The McLaren model 5G will not be eligible for OnePlus' Open Beta programme as indeed, the OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, is not.

On the subject of the carrier exclusive OnePlus 7 Pro 5G, users are already up-in-arms because they are not scheduled to receive the update to Android 10 until Q1 2020. Some 3 or 4 months after the non 5G model and the global 6T. See...

UNIFIED] OnePlus 7 Pro 5G Owners Complaint Thread

Owners on that thread are begging to exchange their 7 Pro 5G models for the non 5G as it is much better supported and updated phone model.

With T-Mobile's exclusivity on the 5G McLaren, they will not offer the same sort of updates as the non 5G model and great will be the weeping and wailing of owners who think they have purchased a premium device.

Bottom line: In my humble opinion, the T-Mobile (USA) McLaren 5G is a whole heap of misery, just waiting to happen :eek:

WiFi calling

So does anybody else here have an issue where the WiFi calling option is missing? I've compared mine to another one and my wife's which was purchased at the same time as mine and the settings menu is different. Mike shows 'Preferred network type' as LTE, the others show it as 4G calling which is enabled but greyed out. She has a settings version number, I don't. She has a section for WiFi calling, mine is missing completely.

Spoke to EE and they were less than helpful basically saying if I want it, I need to return phone for diagnostics. It's only 2 days old.

Help VPN in OnePlus 7

For a couple of years, I used Avast Secureline VPN on an Honor 8. Recently purchased a OnePlus 7 and migrated everything to find that many apps (not all) don't know that I have an internet connection while Avast VPN is running. Hate to dump it, still have many months left on current subscription, any suggestions?

Error page

I haven't been able to log on to my T-Mobile business account in over a month. I keep getting this error page. TMobile doesn't know what it is but keeps making tickets and saying they're fixing it but I never get called back. Has anyone ever seen it?

Gifs come as static photos

When I bought my S9, I was able to download a gif picture from internet and all was ok, i was able to view them as gifs. But now when i download a gif, 90% of the time i can only see it a static photo not moving in my phone . Why? and how can i resolve this problem?

Recently i transferred lot of files to my computer from my phone, may be that is why? but how come? I can not think of any other reason.
