Has anyone been able to find a replacement SIM tray for the 6T? I have the Tmo version and am looking to get the international tray so I don't have to hack mine up. Any leads would be appreciated!!
Much love , Haz3
Have you already tried asking Oneplus customer service? That's how I got mine. Some people have had luck with that and some have not so YMMV. Otherwise you can try cutting up the existing or use the closely fitting Oneplus 6 dual sim tray.
There are a couple of options on ebay, and I would say, they work as intended...

There's plenty for the OnePlus 6 on eBay US,but,I'm not seeing one listing for the OnePlus 6T,as of 12/8/18 (perhaps in some other markets around the globe?).
While the OP6 Dual-SIM Tray works on the OnePlus 6T,it's not a perfect fit.
If you have a link for the OnePlus 6T Dual-SIM Tray,there's a lot of us here who would be extremely grateful if you could post it.

My bad... I thought the posts on eBay said 6013 instead of 6003, fortunately I didn't order one...

No problem at all,was just hoping you'd found a source that was tucked away somewhere on eBay (or anywhere,for that matter). :good:
Just tried OnePlus customer support and they require an order number (which having the TMobile version I obviously don't have). Ridiculous.??

Yeah,that's where most of us end up.
I let it go after about 4-5 back & forths,but,their robo follow-up persisted,so,I started nagging them again,just for the hell of it.
I could tell they were growing tired of it & I brought up the robo follow-up as my reason for continuing the dialogue.
I haven't heard from a CSR in over a week now,whether it's a live/breathing script reader,or,the robo variety & nothing.
I have the OP6 tray,it's working fine,I'll patiently wait until the OP6T Dual trays hit the market.
Looks like the replacement OP6T Dual-SIM Replacement trays are now available on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-OnePlu...at-Tray-Holder-Displace-Replace-/283311152961
already found out how to get a replacement dual sim tray
just need to ask someone with an int. 6t for their imei to give to customer service rep and they can "verify" you have a dual sim or single sim
one you give them the imei they will send a replacement tray
anyone care to share their imei to help me outttttt would gladly appreciate it
Works!

I didn't think to worry if it was glossy or matte. Just ordered from this seller. Thanks.
I had luck on ebay. I believe the one i received was for oneplus 6 instead of 6t and the edge where the sim button sits was just a bit longer than the slot on the device. I used a nail file to sand it down a little and it sits in my phone flawlessly now. Currently running dual sims, OOS Beta 14.

Has anyone had any experience of the MAGICSIM ELITE - GALAXY S3 DUAL SIM ADAPTER? I have tried it in my SGS3 and a) it's incredibly tight and b) it reports "no SIM".
It may be that I am being paranoid but I really don't want to force the micro-SIM and the adapter in too hard. Even when I think I have it in OK, it doesn't see the SIM cards.
Teach me....
Yep I've got one, works fine. Just pushed it in with my finger nail until the spring load clicked in place. If in doubt maybe just email Magic-sim?
I got mine a few days ago and the STK menu does not work. I am unable to switch between SIMs.
I have contacted Magic-SIM and am awaiting a solution.
it seems Magicsim ELITE doesn't exist ... check on magicsim.com there is no ELITE product ... I've ask them and they are not aware about "ELITE" ... so it's smell fake product their are more expensive and have the same software/hard as magicsim 28th PLUS as you can find on www.magicsim.com/site
It looks more like it was developed especially by them as I have both the older 28th version and the new elite one and they are definately different.

Nerdic421 all of your posts are advertising a company called eurodualsim which seem to sell fake Magicsim products..... Looks like youve been BUSTED! Lol
Nice try.
OK, I finally got it installed and fired up with the help of Danny at www.magic-sim.co.uk.
Pity that it really doesn't work at all well. The Dual Sim application is visible and flips between SIMs. However, it's REALLY REALLY slow to register the SIM at boot time and then at switchover time. It is also very unstable and will drop both SIMs out of service at times, which kinda makes the phone useless.
All in all £35 wasted, but "Caveat Emptor" I guess. I have given up with this.

I had a similar responsiveness issue with a dual sim adapter I got for my old S2 but it was because I was using a sim card that was about 3 years old and that was causing the issue. Once I replaced that it was fine, maybe this is the issue you're having. This ones working really well in my S3, takes about 20 seconds to switch sims and has been extremely stable so far.
The primary SIM is a micro SIM and is about 4 weeks old direct from T-Mobiles local store. The other one is an elderly FIDO SIM but that's not even getting looked at during the boot process.

I'd bet you my right arm that your outdated sim is what's causing you mischief. These things rely on the full circuit so even when you're just using the first sim the signal is running through the second sim. My issue was also because of an old sim in the sim 2 slot.
Change that sim and I bet it works as it should!
Just installed this myself and so far all is perfect. No problems switching :good:

Nope although i only want 1 sim active at a time so a dual sim adapter is very good for me, i am happy with the Magicsim Elite for now.
Brillo! Moved overto the S3 a week ago and my Magicsim ELITE is working nicely. I've got experience with these but I found installation easy.
There's like 3 magicsim websites out there. Which one is the legit one or the best one for us UK ppls?
Also, have any of you had a problem with the fit under the cover? seems to me like there might be a bit of a bulge. Any issue with cases?

Yep I've had a few items from them over the years
The ones for which the adapter is working, can you tell me what kind of subscriptions you have (3G, LTE)?
My issue is that I can go up to HPSA+ on my SIM 1 (the one fitting the original S3 SIM slot) while on the second SIM, I'm blocked at EDGE. I tested the second SIM on another phone and there it goes up to HSPA+.
Also, to get it to EDGE, I have, after switching to the SIM 2, activate GSM only networks on the settings so that it register itself to the network first and then activate data services. A complete mess...
Could it be that SIM 2 is too old for dual sim adapters? How can one tell this?
Thanks in advance

My advice would be to not purchase it. Firstly, it creates a small bulge at the back which may crack the rear case in the long run. Secondly, for me, I could only switch from one sim to the other using their in built app only once. If I wanted to revert back to the other sim, I'd have to reboot. This reboot reason was the reason I returned the item. At first, I thought I had a faulty unit. But after ordering a replacement, the same issue forced me to refund the entire purchase.

Hey guys
I've had the adapter for a few days now, and it 'ssems' to work flawlessly. The changes are pretty quick, taking about 5-8 second from one sim to the other. My data sim, which is in the secondary position does take abnormally long to get a 3g/H+ signal, and will sometimes drop out. I do not believe it is the reception in my city.
Other than that it seems to perform as advertised.

are you crazy paying £25 for magicsim. mine costed me a few quid and takes 3 sims and works fine been using it a while now. and no need for rebooting etc just works via the app. 3g data and text and calls work fine for all 3 sims. slight bulge nothing great and i am using it in my cheap s view imitation case with wireless charging insert.
havent had time to shoot a video. but might do if i get time. i bought my triple sim version after seeking kms108 advice on his dual sim phtos that i saw on the note2 thread
it does everything the magicsim does and much much cheaper and can take 3 sims unlike the magicsim that can only take 2sims!

yes been busy so hadnt got back to you. saw your post here so thought might as well reply here.
Yes got triple sim model, infact bought two of them as from now on all my phones will have these triple sim inserts. works fine for my requirements, calls, text and data all work fine and paid 6$ including delivery but it came with iphone covers which i dont need. wish they sold them cheaper without the iphone cases.
I find it much better using the adapters as samsung scrimped on the eject mechanism for sim cards which older samsung phones had but note 3 doesnt have it. so its a pain swapping out microsims, better using triple sim adapter and no need to open the back any more. have wireless charging insert with NFC plus the triple sim in my cheap s view (generic case) so got full works with multisim for under 20$

Ordered a M8 From Amazon.com and the phone appears to have been opened and resealed.
There are QC passed stickers over the factory stickers and there is a large sticker on the back.
My friends developer M8 did not come this way. I have a feeling I got phone that was returned...
Send that thing back should not look like that did you pay full value for that? If so send it back don't let them rip you off.

I have both the large sticker with the serial number, IMEI, etc. On the box, I also had the QC passed as well.
Mine came from an AT&T store, so I'm pretty sure (although could be wrong) that mine was new.
the IMEI sticker is normal. No QC stickers on mine.
Mine also came from the ATT store. Large sticker on the back of the phone, but no QC seals on the box. Just clear ones.

Did you order this directly from Amazon "Ships and sold by Amazon.com"
OR
Did you buy it from a 3rd party vendor on Amazon.
If it was the latter - that's why.
I want to confirm that I went to a ATT corporate store to make an exchange and of the 5 boxes they had , all of them were cut open and resealed with these stickers.
After inspecting one of the devices, I decided to keep my old one because the new phone had a crappy LCD.

this is false. HTC has the SIM card pre installed during their packaging process. the SIM card number is even printed on the back of the box by HTC.

I know for a fact they used to do this for some devices. It's obvious when a box is opened and things inside are disheveled. Not sure if they do it for the M8 but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
When I opened my box, everything inside was in sealed plastic bags and the phone itself was in a plastic "pouch".

Except that I got mine on the 4th, the first one the store had & the first one they sold. Coming from the Nexus 5, I had a Micro-Sim. I opened the box & the rep grabbed a Nano-Sim card from the back & activated it on my account. There was no Sim in the box, which was sealed & completely intact with the shipped clear stickers.
Another co-worker also ordered his online & received it the day after I got mine. It was EXACTLY like mine, completely sealed, with a Nano-Sim still in the card, taped to the top of the box. Later that week, another co-worker received his M8 from an online order. This one had the QC stickers & the still attached full Nano-Sim card inside the box.
Based on this experience, I would say it is highly likely that at least some of the devices (with the clear stickers) DO NOT have a sim card in the box from HTC. The one box with the green QC sticker had a sim card in it & everything was intact, but you could definitely tell the box had been opened, likely to insert the sim.
Maybe some come with Sim card from HTC, IDK, but I can tell you the two with the clear stickers had NO sim card in the box. I can also say that there is ABSOLUTELY NO SIM CARD NUMBER or data stamped, or on any sticker ANYWHERE on the first two boxes. I can't say anything regarding the last one, because it is not at the office ATM.

Not sure what goes on between AT&T and HTC. I got mine on the 7th. The box was completely sealed, had clear stickers, a sticker with bar codes on the back that had the s/n and sim card number, as well as a nano sim already installed. Everything inside was brand new and sealed. Maybe they changed some procedures in between batches.
I got mine last night and it had not 1 but 2 QC Stickers layered on top of each other. I ended up exchanging it today because the top panel on the front was bulging out near the camera and created a sharp edge on it. Also had problems with my touchscreen not responding properly.
When I got the new one it was completely sealed, and I also noticed that my USB and charger were wrapped in the cornstarch baggie in the new one where as my old one was not. I'm guessing the QC stickers were referbs? The new one also had a sim pre-installed where as the old one had one installed by the rep when I purchased it.
New one is MUCH better, screen is more responsive and everything is flush and fits like it's supposed to.

Hello everyone,
I have received my OnePlus 2 today - it is the Chinese version of the handset with Oxygen OS 2.0 installed (with no bloatware). I thought I would post this in-case it is helpful to anyone, I can confirm the following:
4G/LTE work fine on EE
Dual SIM works fine - I can both make and receive from the two SIM cards - however I cannot see the phone number of the SIM in slot two (probably because the phone only has 1 IMEI I suspect - but this does not stop me making or receiving calls on the SIM in slot two)
I will continue testing things but so far so good, very happy.
EE is great for FDD-LTE phones from China. I've had loads work fine, including my old Chinese OnePlus One.
Interesting re. dual SIMs working - good news for importers. Out of interest, do you have two IMEIs on the inside back (my International variant does)?

I have just checked and I only have one IMEI listed on the inside back - the writing around the label is also in Chinese which is to be expected I guess.

I'm using three UK with a Chinese version OPT. LTE works however when signal falls down to 3G, the possibility is that it will not revert to 4G unless you reboot. very annoying. probably a baseband issue
I also have a chinese one from merimobile but mine came preloaded with a whole load of malware. An Oxygen rom of some kind with the usual chinese 3 "browser" icons and lots of "your phone is running slowly" notifications....
I flashed the Oxygen rom that is easy to find, gives Oxygen 2.0.0 and no malware that I can find, but it does have actionbar issues - both K9-mail and Up crash on startup with logcat lines similar to this :

I flashed the Oxygen rom that is easy to find, gives Oxygen 2.0.0 and no malware that I can find, but it does have actionbar issues - both K9-mail and Up crash on startup with logcat lines similar to this :

I had similar problems. If you have enabled Dark mode under Customization then try turning it off. That fixed a lot of issues for me.

I'm using three UK with a Chinese version OPT. LTE works however when signal falls down to 3G, the possibility is that it will not revert to 4G unless you reboot. very annoying. probably a baseband issue

That's an issue for most of 1+2 I think. A fix in on the way, and you know how fast OnePlus is on giving updates (sarcastic)
Sent from my bacon!!!!!
Sorry to sound potentially dumb, but where are people buying the chinses OP2's from? I would rather an uk version, but may consider one as i'm about 1 millionth in the queue ha!
Aliexpress, for example

Thanks
But in case of Aliexpress try to find the seller with strong reputation and some fast delievery (like DHL or EMS) or you can wait for ages (many of them do not have the phone on hand and can tell you long stories why you should wait). And before payment contact the seller and ask the question about avaliabilty and when he can sent the phone to you.
I ordered from here if anyone is interested: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-5-5-quo...stone-Black-/131573132890?txnId=1125008959003

How long did it take to arrive? Tempting!!
I guess they are just importing them in bulk from China? Still loving it?
It took a week to arrive via DPD - it came with a converter plug, screen protector and case for free too. I really do love the handset, it has worked out quite well for me having confirmed dual SIM functionality does work and I get LTE on EE.

Excellent! That's not too bad at all then. I'm on Three and need to check their LTE frequencies, to see whether I can get it. That could be a deal breaker for a chinese version for me. I love my LTE.

You should be fine with Three, if you get either the EU/Asia variant or the Chinese. The EU/Asia variant would be better as it can access both bands that Three use for 4G are 3 (1800Mhz) and 20 (800Mhz).

I have just checked and I only have one IMEI listed on the inside back - the writing around the label is also in Chinese which is to be expected I guess.

Will you be so kind to check this with *#06# call-button too?
For the label and listing doesn't have to be always right! The call thing is just to be sure ... Works on almost every mobile phone with a few exceptions.
How much shipping did they charge?
Does anyone know if the back housing is the same among all the regional variants? I would think so but I found an eBay listing where you had to pick between 4 or 5 model numbers. Thanks.
FYI, here's a good teardown guide:

I've looked for it and didn't find any result abiut difference between them, but if the seller provides backs for different model, go with the one you have.
And I asked Honor facebook page, and waiting for an answer

There is only a few listings and they're all coming from China. Unfortunately I have the US model and they did not list it. I'm 99% sure they're the same so I'm gonna order one. Thanks.

This is the listing that made me wonder in the first place.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...ement-Tools-For-Huawei-Honor-5X-/311702507830
Other listings aren't so specific. Another interesting thing is some of them have Honor branding on the back and some are plain with no branding.
It should fit, I don't see any difference between all models.
I have not seen any back housing for sale yet.
