Huawei P20/P20 Pro

batman2000 · 20-08-2018 02:31AM

I've a P20 Pro and Vodafone Bill Pay and my Huawei still has CLT-L09-8.1.0.128

Here's a question: I have a P20 Pro that comes from Vodafone Bill Pay. However, before even using the VF SIM, I had it unlocked and have been using my Three SIM exclusively.

Does that mean I'm getting my updates via VF or via Three? Or how is it controlled?

Just downloaded update (.131) on Three. Pro model. Don't notice any difference. Anyone know what the update brings

I'm sure there's a setting I'm missing but at the moment if I'm listening to music / podcast whatever and I get a message or notification then it stops the sound for like half a second. It's doing my head in

This is sending me demented, is it the same for everyone?

Is there a reason why Huawei (or the networks?) are slow to release updates for the phone. In reality I don't really mind waiting as long as the software is bug free (I'm still on April security patch), I just like having the latest features and settings.

Google says that there used to be an app called "Don't Pause" which solves your issue, but it seems to have been removed from Google Play.

Other people say to make sure your phone is in DND mode if you don't want the drop in volume.

Huawei need to add their stuff to any Android update, then the networks need to add their stuff....hence the delay.

This is all supposed to be ending with project Treble, but I haven't really been keeping up with that.

I think it's a per-app setting.

Pocketcast has a "Play over Notification" option.
PowerAmp has an "Audio Focus" option.

Anyone know if the prepay P20 pro from Three is likely to be unlocked?!

I got mine from three and was unlocked.. By pre pay you mean on contract? Was on week one of release. I know it was unlocked as had eir sim in it for few days

rizzee · 02-09-2018 10:15AM

Pre pay = pay as you go/top up. Bill pay = contract. Most newer phones come unlocked but better off double checking. Sure its cheaper to buy sim free on adverts!

Beta testing for emui 9 has opened. There's no projects available for me though.

Been reading there's some good improvements.

How low will it go to on prepay?

Still holding out, debating changing to it.

I was just in store. It's the regular P20 that's €549. The P20 Pro is €779.

Looks like Three have it significantly cheaper.

06-09-2018 04:22PM

can't see it going much lower than that unless there is a glut of them out there to sell.

06-09-2018 04:24PM

are three only selling the single sim version I guess also?

Don't think carriers would want to sell dual SIM where you can put a competitors SIM into the device.

GustavoFring · 08-09-2018 09:39AM

Are the P20 Pros easily unlocked?

The 3 deal is tempting to be honest if it could be easily unlocked to take my Vodafone SIM.

Agent_47 · 08-09-2018 11:18AM

Looking to pull the trigger on this, its a lot of sauce for a phone......Would need to know if it is locked to Three though?

dobbs2210 · 08-09-2018 12:16PM

Tempted to buy the Huawei P20 pro on the Tesco Mobile billy pay €30.00 per month plan.

It's only €249.99 for the phone on the €30 monthly plan (24 month contract).

https://www.tescomobile.ie/order-selection/550/Huawei-P20-Pro?prepay=0

I haven't seen it any cheaper out there with any other providers....??

GustavoFring · 08-09-2018 03:43PM

Just took a risk with one from three. Popped my Vodafone Sim and it works perfectly.

I had to settle for the black one though as the twilight is showing as 700 instead of 600 for an in-store purchase.

My spigen screen protector cracked as I let the phone drop and hit edge of a table.. I caught the phone but still cracked the tempered glass. The spigen was ok but I had ghosting down the sides of the phone. Ordered the ultimate shield tempered glass earlier in the week and phone shop fitted for me yesterday. So far much better than the spidgen. No ghosting at the edge, no oily effect and no dot matrix. Highly recommended

I had that one initially but on only the 2nd day I owned the phone I took it out of my bag after the gym and the screen protector was smashed around the fingerprint sensor. There were keys in the bag that I reckon were the culprit.

The screen itself was fine. I since put a spigen on and no issues. However, I also bought a soft case to put it into when its in bags.

Just picked up a P20 pro...is not being able to expand notifications from the lock screen a 'feature' of this phone?!

It's a Huawei thing, I think

Any way around it? It's the only minor bug bare of mine. Otherwise I love my P20 pro.

I googled it, and apparently it's fixed in EMUI 9 for Android Pie. I'm not sure whether you can join the beta programme, otherwise you'll have to wait for it to be released.
