@oldbutndy Just to set the expectation. Do not expect much from the external display experience. At the moment, it's kind of regressed compared to xenial and older versions. It has been better now in Noble but it's still have lingering issues and the most notable and experience breaking one is mouse scrolling. It doesn't work properly in the browser (only one tab or webview works) and scrolling in native apps is too "momentum"-ish
In any case, it's still fun to use from time to time. In fact, I'm using it right now to test some things
Thank you for details. My test was very quick. I think I played a video for a few seconds. Then Libre office spreadsheet, mostly just to see if it would open up a file I had created on main PC, using same TV as display. It did. so, it was kinda fun. The only thing I remember from that quick test was a mild 'wave' rolled down screen, kinda like refreshing screen. usable.
Not expecting everyday use.
I will test more, & take notes, as soon as I get a working UT phone again. -
I can confirmed , received today from oneplus support an unlock token for a second n10 5 g devices bought on ebay .
Patience i've kept , i did wrote them a long reply about such policy vs the potential reluctance it could introduce to buy Oneplus , used or not . Did sent a link to here ...community wonders .
Got friendly support of their escalation department . -

@oldbutndy Hope you get the nice support escalation department lady i got , who knows , you may not have to get there .

@vverve I did get a lady this time, but unfortunately got same answer: NO unlock token.
I just searched ebay again for BE2026. Ebay shows many listings, but reading the details -which half the time don't state the BE20nn number- in each listing istedious day after day and almost all are BE2028 (T-Mobile), and occasionally Metro.

Thank you for more info. Reading through that link (nicely detailed), it seems similar to my experience, except that Oneplus accepted his proof of purchase, but rejected my request because it went through Ebay.
I will ask Oneplus:
If I buy from private seller, will they unlock bootloader ?
Will they accept DIY bill of sale ? -
Hmm , that is odd ..
Note that i got no answer about policies changes from one+ .
@oldbutndy did you checked online on IMEI.info if device got a clean imei ? reading your post ( Looking up IMEI didn't yield anything specific about model #.), it should give model #.
My ebay seller showed photo of imei, i've checked before i bought it if it was ''clean'' . -
@vverve Good suggestion. I just did it. Not reported lost or stolen. I had not done this previously because I purchased from Ebay seller whose main business is cell phones, over 30,000 transactions and almost 100% feedback. So, they seemed quite reputable. (and have been great at communication).

@oldbutndy Ok , then double odd .. have you ever contracted with tmo ? you are in US ,right ?
They were , at least on xda in 2022 that guy you wrote one+ did
provide bootldr unlock even on sim locked device ! + me = 2 .
Trying to pinpoint your refusal ,
as we can enjoy AI random bull*h!t deep diving :
government-customized version devices could be one reason ,
or , out of luck , you got a clean imei but devices ,reputable seller , but devices had suspicious activity history ....
ah ah , no , AI does not link government-customized to suspicious activity ....i do...joking about it, of course .edit....Note ; Dont get me wrong , i have not been able to install UT on that latest bootloader unlocked device , so , must agree with all , if UT is your goal , avoid such sim-locked devices , but they do goes for cheap .
