Just re EMUI 10 update.

I just accepted it a few days ago and my phone is now very slow and laggy. Long boot time too. : (

Anybody else having the same issues?

Yeah, phone appears to be taking longer to boot, but not by much so, for me, it's no biggie.

However, since the update I've noticed my chrome browser is freezing and becoming non-responsive. The update installed a Huawei browser so wonder if it's related

I'm getting the same issue. My keyboard becomes non responsive too at times. It's not a killer, but I much prefer a buttery experience. Going to see if I can roll back to 9.1.

Everyone else impatient to move to 10; count your blessings and stay where your are.

I'm on 3 and didn't get update. Says my software is up to date - 9.1

boombang · 22-06-2020 10:51am

I got the update and I'm on GoMo.

Notmything · 22-06-2020 12:19pm

I'm with Vodafone

I got updated, notice no difference in performance

Hi

I'm looking at getting a P20 Lite off Amazon - I tend not to spend much on phones since I go through them at a decent rate.

Any thoughts in here on what they're like?

Thanks in advance

I've got a couple of quotes for my P20 Pro screen repair. €250 and €260. Why is it so expensive and does anyone know a cheaper way? I can't see who would spend that on it . Maybe time to upgrade but its only 18 months old and I normally wear phones out after 3 or 4 years. I loved this one too.

That's about the standard price, unfortunately. Just buying the spare part from Huawei will set you back €178. I dropped my P20 Pro on a concrete floor and shattered the back panel last year. Thankfully that is much cheaper to repair.

Sesame · 24-06-2020 11:37am

Thanks, thats putting me off buying a newer version if they are that price to repair. Its mainly the camera that I really appreciated, it is (was!) incredible. I can't see an good aleternative. Maybe I'll look for a secondhand replacement.

It's the screen technology. Any phone with an OLED screen is going to the much more expensive than an LCD. I worked as a phone repair technician for 3 years and can tell you that any phone with an OLED screen, especially Samsung, ain't cheap to replace..

glossy · 24-06-2020 1:40pm

No update.
But I've noticed the the last couple days , everything slower/lagging. Don't know if it's the phone it's self or the network on the phone. Voda ... Everyone in the house has iPhone no problems with them.

Equium · 25-06-2020 12:19pm

Out of interest, which phones have people updated to from the P20 pro?

I'm due an update next month and nothing is jumping out at me. This phone is by far the best I have ever had and it almost seems a shame to swap it for something else. I am considering the Samsung S20/S20+ but they are rather expensive for an upgrade from Vodafone, whilst naturally there are major reservations about buying the P40 Pro. I had a Xiaomi Mi5s and would probably never go back to them either.

reni10 · 25-06-2020 7:50pm

I went to the OnePlus 7t and for me it is much better than the p20 pro.

The 90hz screen is good and also the software is just so much better and really fast android updates unlike hauwei!

Also the bootloader can be unlocked so there will be user community driven ROMs for years to come again unlike hauwei.

It's only €419 delivered on three.ie at the moment and comes fully unlocked and also dual SIM.

To me the camera on the 7t is as good or even better than the p20 pro and the ultrawide, macro and video features on the 7t are all very good to have and are better than the p20 pro.

boombang · 26-06-2020 4:37pm

Just FYI, I used HI suite to roll back to 9.1 and that seems to have sorted my performance issues. The backup and restore process took ages, but I'm happier on 9.1 and would not recommend accepting the update to 10 on the basis of my experience.

Sincu updating to emui 10 when I send a picture not at least try in WhatsApp I get a message saying 'The file format is not supported'

Not liking this update..

Updated yesterday. Phone is very very laggy, and freezing. Seems to be using a lot more ram too. Not liking it at all.

thomas anderson. · 10-07-2020 9:40am

So it updated last night was I was snoozing.

Liking the dark mode and slimmed down design. Battery life on the other hand is suffering.

Emui 10 has killed my battery

Really wow.. Is it draining to quickly?
still no update on mine. Don't know if to be glad or not. Though I'm due an upgrade been thinking to carry on with Huawei P30Pro or go to OnePlus!

duploelabs · 12-07-2020 12:53pm

Massive battery drain with new update. Incidentally can anyone recommend a wallet case (even if its a case with slot for cc) that doesn't obscure the back camera when folded out to expose the screen?

Gatling · 12-07-2020 11:23pm

Horrendous battery now ,

I was looking for a p40 for my next upGrade might jump at something else this week , with the new battery drain issue

Slattsy · 13-07-2020 4:01pm

I'm having issues with my notifications when phone locked. Normally I'd see preview ie whapsapp or email saying who its from but its disappearing just as i go to look.

And battery too!

I'm getting this problem as well along with other small annoying things.

I'm assuming it's impossible to downgrade from this update?

Ah I see this post now. Ignore my previous post

glossy · 15-07-2020 7:33pm

Just my update. So far I'm liking it. I'll see how the battery goes .

No, you can roll back to 9.1 using Hi Suite. It takes some time. The problem is that the phone then nags you with notifications to update. I couldn't turn these off and ended up accepting the invite to update again by accident. Very annoying.

Edit: just saw your other post. Decided to leave this up anyway.

rameire · 16-07-2020 8:38am

I have not updated but have received the messages to update for over a week.
I am noticing that the battery is not lasting as long even though I have not accepted or updated to Android 10.
I did notice a security update that installed automatically around the same time that Android 10 starting to pop up.

VF .
Battery been good, Must actually say improved.
Phone not lagging like it was.

Redsoxfan · 17-07-2020 6:10pm

How are Vodafone rolling this out? I would have thought everyone gets it at the same time?

Mundo7976 · 21-07-2020 9:21pm

Got the update over the weekend, liking it so far, battery might be a little better than before, although google maps is dire since!

rameire · 04-08-2020 2:13pm

Still not updated here.
it is available for me but am refusing it every day. On VF.
so after a month of it being available, what are peoples opinions now?
Are things better?
is the battery better after things have bedded in?

Is anyon else having battery draining issues with P20?
My battery went from 100% to 40% just sitting idle overnight for 4hrs

rameire · 05-10-2020 3:05pm

So what are people's opinions on the update so far.
I still have not updated my phone to 10. my choice, its there but not clicking the big red button.
Still working off 9.1.0.387

have there been improvements, are the changes not as dramatic as originally viewed?

Cionn · 06-10-2020 2:17pm

I am having battery issues with the latest update. Barely getting a day out of mine at the moment compared to 2 days previously. It may be the update or the fact the phone is 2 years old.

Stacksey · 06-10-2020 4:04pm

Yes unfortunately the P20 is coming to end of life, got 2 and half years out of mine and was the best phone i ever had, now just deciding what to upgrade to

I got a new battery and screen under warranty at 23 and a half months.Its still a better phone than the Samsung a70 I replaced it with.

Cionn · 10-10-2020 5:24pm

The last software update seems to have killed the battery. The phone is great but the repair costs are too much.

By far the best phone I have ever owned. Replaced it with a Galaxy S20+ this week and I'm still not completely sold on it. The P20 Pro still outlasts it in terms of battery life, and isn't far behind in terms of the camera.

If only for the lack of Google services I would have jumped at the P40 Pro

rizzee · 11-10-2020 9:45am

For those of you with issues and are almost being forced to upgrade! Would you not try the P30 Pro? They still have Google services.
