Got a Ringke Fusion X delivered from the states today. Ordered 26/07. Really impressed with it so far, in particular the dust flap/protection for the charging port (I've the standard P20 so no full waterproofing). Great grip and feedback from the buttons.. Highly recommended at 18 euro delivered from their (Ringke) eBay store.

I got a few text message notifications from a blocked number and was able to reinsert the messages back into the person's page. I missed the last 2 though and can't find them now. Any idea which folder I need to look at?

Found them. All is good

I missed the bootloader unlock by literally hours. Does anyone know how likely it is that DC Unlocker et al will be able to break it? Or would we be relying on a leak at this point?

@micks_address Unfortunately, they don't support the P20 Pro yet. I'm just wondering if it's wishful thinking on my part or if an unlock method is likely to present itself soon...?

Currently have a LG G4, and looking at the P20 Pro as a replacement. was thinking s9+ but like the idea of the large battery as that is the main problem of the LG G4, i dont want battery issues.

Im checking prices and 749 on vodafone and carphonewarehouse.
Any other recommended places for purchasing this phone?
cheers.

Adverts.ie off a reputable seller for close to the 600 mark.

Heard an offer on the S9 on radio yesterday from carphone warehouse. Sounded like 100 euro with a memory card on 40 euro a month contract for 24 months. Might be worth a look

So, Bluetooth transfer to iOS devices is 'currently not compatible'.

Any way around this?

Was driving with the radio off and heard a weird hissing sound coming from the phone. I put it up to my ear and there was a high pitched white noise sound coming from it. Had to restart to get rid of it. Has this happened to anyone?

It's the Chinese spying on you. Destroy the phone immediately!

Has anyone got a link on Amazon or eBay for a genuine sypercharge cable? Seems that there are lots of fakes (regular C cables) around...

Its hard to find, I bought what I thought was one last year for the P10, but it was just a standard cable.

Huawei are difficult to get genuine accessories for. I'm looking for a UK charger for my Matebook D, but I've had noluck, despite contacting Huawei directly in the UK, and globally.

Mr E

Anyone? I have a couple of days of an Amazon Prime trial sub left and want to make use of it before it expires.

I just ordered x2 of these''Super fast charger for P20 Pro'' that look the same as original.. had a discount code so got them €2.91c delivered but standard price is just over 4 euro delivered for a 2 pack.

Don't get me wrong, it's 99% a case of the old saying ''if it's too good to be true, then it probably is'' ; but i'm willing to take the risk Only have the original charger that came with the phone so need a spare for work.

I am thinking about buying a P20 from a shop in Dublin that are advertising them on adverts for about 400euro.
Is there any particular seller on adverts people would recommend or steer clear of completely ?

I got my P20 for 380 off one of them at the start of July. Bought 7+ phones off the same user for family and friends over the last year (S8's, iPhones) and everything perfect.

Are you able to insure them? That would be my main concern.

I rang up an insurance company last year when I bought my S8 off them (Gadget Insurance as far as I remember) and they wouldn't as I didn't have a receipt.

I knew that the phone was legit anyway so the manufacturer warranty would suffice and just kept it protected (Otterbox and glass protector)

With my P20 I didn't bother checking for insurance.

Some of the shops on Adverts provide handwritten receipts, I'd be a bit weary about insuring a phone then in a years time making a claim and turns out they don't accept these type of receipts , or receipts in general from these grey market sellers.

I suppose that's the risk you get but I reckon the price difference compared to high street shops is absolutely worth it.

It was only 8% at my last post :-) Downloaded and installed now.

It seems to work through a special app only and you have to add your games and run them from there to take affect, so I don't think it is going to affect normal usage. I think a bit more reading up on how it fully works needed.
