@lakotaubp one day i'll be like the cool kids. Until then i'll look like I don't know what's going on around here. Thanks for the lesson!

@lakotaubp I don't follow. What do you mean by tabbing through each setting? And i've already tried about 30 times to input APN settings using GUI. Is there a way I can "terminal" these settings into existence?

Ok..figured out the root of the issue. Turns out the SIM slot was carrier locked even though the imei was showing clean.

I followed this thread to unlock:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-sim-unlock-t-mobile-version-all-type-of-imei-supported.3915269/

Phone now detects the carrier.

So in doing a little more research...the Ubuntu Touch devices list does caveat that the SIM 1 slot in the OnePlus 6 is buggy and to use the SIM 2 slot. I managed to acquire a T-mobile version that only has the SIM 1 currently available. I just ordered a 2 sim tray. My hope is that the internals are still dual SIM and that the tray was the only blocker on the T-mobile variant. Hope to have an update later this week or early next.

I'm still open to learning how to help fix this APN issue on SIM 1. Until then I'll be using a Nexus 5 as a daily driver.

@rocket2nfinity I do use telegram. You can find me at the same username @mattmcbeardface

@rocket2nfinity still not working

@raydantheman how did you get the APN settings to accept on the 6T. I just got a cricket Sim and i cant seem to get the phone to accept the settings.

Just got a cricket wireless sim card to use with my 6t. Service has been activated (just got the good to go email). But when i try to input any APN settinga they wont accept. The checkbox just turns grey and the settings wont save.

Ok...Mark this one as solved. The RC build works.

I did have to wipe and reflash to RC build using the installer though to get everything else to work properly. I had a string of unrelated errors after "updating" to the RC.

@applee I just switched to RC. Now i'm able to download with morph browser. So that works. But the camera app is crashing every time I try to open now.
