T-Mobile (USA) update 9.0.3

[ironass]

A new update, 9.0.3, for the T-Mobile carrier minority variant of the OnePlus 6T has begun rolling out.

New version: ONEPLUS
A6013_34_190116

Update size: About 103.6MB

Changelog:

• Android December Security update
  [*]Dialer improvement

That's it!

Same old camera version yet again, 2.9.43

(Download link for the global model's camera version, 3.0.21)

This, "looks", to be the same firmware base, global model's 9.0.5, as were the 2 previous updates with just an upgraded security patch and dialer.

This is the 4th T-Mobile (USA) update in 83 days.

(N.B. This update is only for the T-Mobile (USA) minority carrier variant and NOT the global model)

Re: T-Mobile (USA) variant update 9.0.3

Bluetooth audio tuner now available. VoLTE in France... Various other updates and fixes included plus December security patch.

Wonder how close this brings it to the factory image?

I thought that the Bluetooth Audio Tuner was in an earlier update for T-Mobile?

Any other updates that they didn't mention on their main screen. I'm thinking of the camera version....

Re: T-Mobile (USA) variant update 9.0.3

I had updated my camera outside of OTA updates. So I've been on 3.0.13 and can't confirm it's part of this update. But the info did say there was updates to image processing. I would presume that requires updated camera app


Edit: I can't confirm Bluetooth either. My bad

Weird. And it's changed now too

The publish date WAS today. Now it's back tracked and for one plus 6... Not 6t?

Strange! Nothing new for the global OnePlus 6 in the last few days as far as I can tell.

 

[I800C0LLECT]

Based on change log info in 9.10 and 9.11...i think this brings the T-Mobile variant current. Hrmm

 

[I800C0LLECT]

Just hitting OnePlus forums too

On the contrary I800COLLECT, you have been very helpful. I am in the Cotswolds of England and do not own the T-Mobile (USA) carrier minority variant and must rely on yourself, at this moment, for any information. Thanks!

Like you... I am very suspicious about that claim. It is more likely to still be based on the Global model's 9.0.5 release of the 6th November, as was the last update and the one before that.

Even down to the same old camera version... 2.9.43

This was the changelog for the global model on 9.0.10 & 9.0.11...

"Changelog:

System

Updated Android Security patch to 2018.12
Improved Wi-Fi stability for better connectivity
Face Unlock improvements
General bug fixes and improvements

Camera

Improved Nightscape performance"

Apart from the Android Security update, I do not see anything else that matches the T-Mobile 9.0.3 update, so far.

 

[I800C0LLECT]

The article that was taken down claimed most of those change updates except camera software update. WiFi stability and improvements were claimed as well as Bluetooth stability and improvements.

I tested with a previous Bluetooth ear bud that didn't work. Now it does... So that's nice

To be honest I800COLLECT, it would not make sense to have the global firmware 9.0.11 and downgrade the camera. I have a strong feeling that the reason that article was removed was that they realised they'd got it wrong.

 

[I800C0LLECT]

Well oxygen update is clearly wrong too. Just need to wait until somebody publishes the change log

I think that Oxygen Update is probably spot on as it compares firmware versions and the global model's 9.0.5 update of the 6th November appears to match the last 3 T-Mobile updates, see post #1, that have just had minor improvements dropped into them rather than a full firmware update to, say, 9.0.11.

See your own post, here, for the last, 9.0.2, update.

 

[I800C0LLECT]

Oxygen update wasn't updated to identify 9.02 until later. After the initial phone update, oxygen update didn't include the right information. Just like the above capture shows November security updates when it's clearly December. The Bluetooth updates are a tell too.

I'm not so much focusing on the OS number but the changes they've included. When T-Mobile updated the phone so that it functioned with roaming partners... That happened just after the international version received the update to work on Verizon LTE. The same LTE that T-Mobile uses to roam as well.

I think that's why OnePlus clearly stated to ignore the OS versions. I'm wondering if the build number is 2234 and whether that would give a better indication of differences between factory OS and T-Mobile OS

 

[I800C0LLECT]

Oxygen update had told us that every TMobile update included an in-display algorithm update too. I don't think it's accurate.

I am on global model Open Beta 3 with the January 2019 Android Security update but Oxygen Update compares it to the 9.0.11 release with the December 2018 Security update which, apart from the disparity of the Security updates, is the base firmware that Open Beta 3 is based on.

 

[I800C0LLECT]

Yes but the point I'm making is that all the updates oxygen updater is describing are specific to 9.05... Not what the T-Mobile variant includes. Otherwise, according to oxygen updater, they've focused updates on the same thing every time...

Nightscape
In-display fingerprint
Update unlock app
Gestures 2.0

I'm sure TMobile updated more than that between 9.01 and 9.03. Soo...I agree that although they might use international version 9.05 for these changes... Oxygen updater doesn't properly capture the change log information.

The T-Mobile site clearly shows they provided the partner roaming updates and I think that clearly indicates providing the patching to correct Verizon LTE interoperability. That's from 9.0.11 isn't it?
