    I've done that, no joy sadly.

    Seems to be whatsapp only

    Anyone know where I can turn on the missed call notification ?

    For some reason if i miss a call, I don't get either a dot on the phone icon or a message, its only by going into calls that I see the red missed call notice.

    I had this problem, nothing I did in settings would make it show up. I used a notification app called Prof reminder which seemed to kick the actual notifications to show up.

    Picked up the P20 for 50e on the 30e monthly plan bill pay with Three.

    Great deal.

    How do I get a clock to show on the lock screen though? Can't find it anywhere.

    Sorry it's called always display information. You can search the settings as well. Helps to find things that are buried in the menus.

    Is it on the Pro, only? Because I don't see that anywhere.

    I'd say you could download an app for that.

    My husband got himself a P20, can't charge it at night as it beeps constantly while charging. The phone is on.Using supplied cable. Is there a setting to turn this off somewhere?

    Have looked but can't see anything, not going to switch it off every time to charge!

    Figured it out, it was a faulty charger plug.

    Apologies if this has been brought up before, but myself and the wife have a p20. Really like the the phone, great battery life and brilliant camera. But, quite regularly when I go to make a call the phone won't connect the call, the same on my wifes phone. On the call screen it will just keep saying 'dialling' and after about 10 secs it'll stop and say 'call ended'. The 'call forwarding enabled' message doesn't appear, that's when I know the call isn't gonna connect. We're both on the three network. And it's not because we've no network coverage, if the normal call doesn't connect we can ring eachother on whattsapp no problem so we obviously still have coverage.

    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

    Not sure if this is the issue or not but you could try switching off 'WiFi Calling' - see if that makes a difference.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 377 ✭✭17togo

    Thanks but I don't think that would be the problem, this can happen when I'm not connected to WiFi too, I've tried turning off the mobile data when having the problem too, still no joy. But then 5 minutes later I'll try and the call will go through. Its strange though cos when I can't make a call, my wife has also tried to ring me and she also cant call. I've contacted three when this has happened and they've checked the area I'm in and said there's been no outages or faults. Very frustrating.

    I had a similar issue but with receiving calls, I emailed customer support and got the following reply, it fixed my problem might do the same for you possibly?!

    Thank you for contacting Huawei Support UK.
    We are sorry to hear about the situation which has prompted you to write to us.
    In order to solve this issue, we recommend to wipe the cache partition. In order to do this, please follow the below steps:
    1. Turn the device off completely.
    2. Press and hold the volume up + power key at the same time, until you get into the recovery menu.
    3. Select "Wipe cache partition" (navigate by using the volume keys and power button to select).
    4. Confirm the action by selecting "Wipe cache partition" again.
    5. At the end of this process, the recovery menu appears for the second time - select "Reboot system now".

    Note: Please make sure to select Wipe cache partition, and not Wipe data/factory reset - the latter will erase all data on the internal storage of the device.

    I've made a few phone calls today without any problem, so fingers crossed. Maybe try it anyway, it doesnt affect the phone any other way by doing it!

    3 days in and the problem hasn't returned so I'd definitely say that gas solved it!
