Anyone daily driving the Nord N10 5g in USA?
-
Hi I'm looking at buying a N10 5g as I've found a really good deal on one, but calling, sms, and mms are all must haves for me. And as I have no 2g or 3g in my area volte has to work. Any of you guys have volte working? And if so would you consider the phone daily drivable with UBtouch? Also how do the cameras perform? Thanks!

@UTUS Excellent camera, VoLTE works, SMS works on 24.04-1 daily. MMS is mixed on all UT devices right now due to the changeover to RCS in the US. One to one MMS will likely work, group MMS can be quirky. RCS does not work.
We have work a rounds for the things that are still in progress, it is daily drivable. The N10 and N100 are the two to use for the US at the moment. The updated OP6/T port is also coming and will likely be the third.
Join us in the North American Issues Telegram channel and we will walk you through it. Instructions are also here in the N10/N100 forum sections.

@rocket2nfinity Awesome thanks so much!

@UTUS Read the notes carefully about eBay bought devices and unlock tokens. We've had people buy from eBay and get one, others OnePlus refused. Haven't straightened out what is going on with that. N100 does not need a token for any version. N10 go with a BE2026, which is completely unlocked, if you want to avoid all the hassle.

@UTUS I second the assessment of @rocket2nfinity .
I've always found MMS a bit quirky, but largely it works except for group messages. Can vary a bit depending on provider and APN settings.
Group messages have been a known issue for 5+ years, Ibelieve there's just no fix. I receive nothing, no notification, no error, when someone sends a group message. No way to know anything was sent. I just tell my contacts I can't do group texts. It's more awkward now that iOS picked up RCS.. everyone expects group messages should work.
So far as I know, RCS is on the radar of the devs, but not really even a work in progress yet.. they do incredible work with few people, mostly unpaid.
In Canada, this is the most unusable part of UT. Otherwise it's great! Somehow even my banking works, though this isn't the case for most.Definitely look into bootloader unlocking before buying. Surest way, as stated, is BE2026 (North American version, non-carrier specific). Most people succeed in getting an unlock token from Oneplus eventually, but they now seem to say they only send one when given proof of purchase from an official vendor or something.
Downgrading to aporopriate Android is a bit tricky.. follow the instructions, using MSM tool and EDL mode. You'll figure it out!
