Firmware

Do you have the phone and got the update or found it elsewere? i'd like to see the software if its available for download.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
Got it last night. No idea what has changed as the description was very vague. Only 250MB or so.

At the launch we were told our models had pre-release software and some portrait functions in the camera were coming soon, but I can't remember exactly what.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Maybe small fixes and improvements,security patch..etc
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shiango:
Could someone please upload it for download? Having trouble finding it elsewhere..
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ch1lko:
it was OTA later that day
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
I know it's early days, but I am finding the battery life on the P10 to be far better than the Mate 9. The Mate 9 obviously has the bigger display, but with such a big difference in battery you might still assume it would have the edge.

I did a phone clone so everything on the Mate 9 carried over, so they're both effectively running the same stuff. However, I'm using the P10 more than the Mate 9 which is often in standby.... so it becomes even more odd.

I will have to do some proper tests, but irrespective of the comparison aspect, I think the P10 battery life is exceptional. The Mate 9 is great too, but this is something else!
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
You can share some battery stats later here if you like :good:
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] xcastiel:
What do you think about this article : "

That's because there's no oleophobic coating on the actual display of the P10 — at least on the review devices we were given in Barcelona last week. An oleophobic coating may sound obscure and technical, but it's a staple feature of all but the cheapest smartphone screens. This nanocoating, usually applied to the glass during manufacturing, repels oils — like the kind on your face and fingers — and stops the display from looking like it's been used as a pizza slice after you've been tapping, swiping and calling. "

Is the phone a finger print and smudges magnet?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rotsloeh:
You already have the P10? Where in the world are you? :laugh: I'm still waiting here. How about the standby time? I've read two reviews already that have complaints regarding huge battery drain. Namely from Recombu and Trustedreviews.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
UK. Got mine at the same event as Recombu and Trusted. My review is pending still.

I'm finding the battery excellent, with Doze working fine (some say it doesn't). I did install AnTuTu to benchmark the phone and that seemed to keep running (never seen that before) and caused problems, so I removed it.

I wonder if they've downloaded that?

As I said before, I did a phone clone from my Mate 9, which has a nice setup of apps that are kept running and closed. So perhaps I've tweaked my P10 a lot more than others.

I've even got so used to the new fingerprint sensor that using my Mate 9 (or indeed any phone) now feels odd. Took just one week to master it!

I hope to have my in depth review done any day now. Need to take more photos and will be in London all day tomorrow with the P10, P9 and Mate 9 for comparisons.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkionline:
Can you share the link of the stored firmware?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rotsloeh:
I think they did use Antutu. I saw one reviewer showing his battery stats and Antutu was at the top. So i guess That was the one causing the problem.

Yeah, i was thinking that maybe they just had a rogue app causing the drain since everybody uses their phones differently. Because, for me, 20% drain overnight is too much just because Doze didn't work.

I was also a little bummed that they moved the fingerprint sensor to the front but it's not really a big deal.

I eagerly await for your review! :)
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] DerD4nnY:
Why should I choose a P10 ? G6 is water resistant, has a bigger screen and makes better photos ?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
I have managed in under a week to get really used to the new fingerprint sensor. I always said I preferred it on the back, and this is the only phone I own that has it at the front - but it's VERY easy to get used to. I am sure you would too.

It's ironic that Samsung is moving its fingerprint reader to the back, and who knows what Apple will do.

AnTuTu was causing real problems, and brings up the warning about excessive drain. It shouldn't be doing anything when not running, but it seems to run itself. I wonder if there's something dodgy going on there (always rumours about AnTuTu taking bribes to boost scores). I hope not!

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

I can't answer that. I really liked the G6 at MWC. Awesome display and feels nice in the hand (not too thick) but I'm not hearing great things about the battery on that, although the reviewers have pre-release models (like the P10) and there was an update yesterday. Too late for some reviewers who already gave their phones back.

Hopefully I'll get a final release model and can compare. I've always liked the camera on the LG's since the G4. The G5 camera was great, but I hated the phone. The G4 had HORRIBLE battery life. The G6 may well be the phone that turns things around for LG, or it may not (for example, LG are pathetic at spending money on marketing). Huawei on the other hand seems to have a bottomless pit of money right now.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rotsloeh:
Actually, this is my first phone with a fingerprint reader so that wouldn't be a problem for me. No old habit to break. :laugh: Although, when I tried my friend's P9, the position of the sensor was just right IMO.

I agree. I never thought the day would come they would change their design. With Apple, if rumors are right about them adding "function area" I'm guessing they're gonna move it to the back as well. But who knows.

Guess there must have been an incompatibility with the current OS? If they do accept bribes then they wouldn't be the first ones I guess. But hopefully they aren't.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] scgf:
The wait is agonising! I could pre-order from FNAC in France for €599 - £523 and they're happy to deliver to the UK. They say the P10 will be available from 24 March. I wish I had at least an indication of UK pricing and availability. The Huawei store in the UK has it on pre-order for £599 but is 'sold out'. Not sure how you can sell out on a product not yet available though.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Wow at that price it is very interesting
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] scgf:
I think I'll wait a few days and see if it surfaces in the UK and at what price. I wouldn't mind ordering from France and could put up with a Euro two pin charger. I've found Euro plugs fit into our three pin sockets if you first open the shutter on the earth pin. The other issue is that the free goodies offered would only be sent to an address in the country where the phone was purchased from. In France it is offered with a 64GB sd card and a selfie stick/tripod and in Belgium it comes with a free Leica instant camera. I'd have to forgo the offers.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Well good luck mate :good:
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] masi0:
Can anyone using P10 can check if Filmic pro app is compatible with this phone? I own dji osmo mobile and have to admit that this app is key for me when choosing the phone. Thanks for checking.

Wysłane z mojego SM-T815 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ch1lko:
Says it's not compatible.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
I think because the phone just came out so the app doesnt support it for now
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] frgo:
Hi everyone,

After using this phone for almost 2 weeks here are some quick findings:

- Battery life is quite good when (ab)using it. Not so much when leaving it overnight. It can easily drain 15 -20% overnight doing nothing.

- Image quality in daylight is impressive. 2x "Hybrid" zoom is surprisingly good. Things become worse when light becomes worse but still usable.

- Bluetooth connection with my car works most of the time but sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it connects after 20 minutes or so.

- Pedometer just stops counting steps after sometime.

- You can use on screen navigation buttons or fingerprint gestures to navigate. You can't have both. I'd love to have an option to set my own gestures.

Overall good phone but problems indicate something is probably not right with doze mode?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
Maybe you have some apps in background draining your battery, did you turn off Wifi and BT scan in location settings ?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] rotsloeh:
That's unfortunate to hear. Hoping it's just a rogue app or a setting that needs to be turned off. I was considering this phone if the P10 plus' battery wasn't going fare any better.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] frgo:
I'm using this phone exactly the same way as my previous samsungs s6 & s4. Same apps, same everything. BT is always off when I'm connected to wifi. Wifi is always on.

Today when searching for a solution I found P10 review on trustedreviews.com and, surprise, surprise (quoting):

My only real concern about the P10’s battery is that Android Doze doesn’t appear to be working correctly.

Looks like p10 really has some problems like killing background services it shouldn't be killing (pedometer) and leaving other apps running freely. I think huawei has something to fix here.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
I see, well i hope Huawei fix this very soon with a software update
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ch1lko:
New firmware B113 is out.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
There is apparently a further update coming in a few weeks that will fix the VoLTE/VoWiFi problem, and it's being tested by operators as we speak.

Seems there are a number of problems and I can't remember when I got my pre-release Mate 9 having so many small patches. I wonder if they rushed this phone out because of bringing it forward to MWC (Feb) instead of late March/early April as with previous launches?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] scgf:
The P10 is now available for pre-order at CarPhoneWarehouse in the UK. It's listed at £569. I originally ordered from FNAC in France for £529 but then thought an extra £40 is not so bad considering I'll get a UK charger and it will be easier to get sorted should a fault develop at some point. The hassle of shipping to France and waiting ages would negate the price advantage.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
I got my P10 yesterday as my fist Android phone after using iOS since 2008. I wanted to give it a try and I like it.

But there's a huge problem with the Bluetooth audio in my car which already happened with my wifes HTC One M7 2 years ago. And it seems that this is a major problem without a fix.

The Bluetooth audio is skipping and has dropouts every few seconds. With my P10 this problem exist a few minutes, after that the audio works well.

I tried to turn off GPS, WIFI and Cell. Nothing helped.

My i6S didn't have this kind of problem.

This is a huge problem for me because I'm using this every day and I'm not sure if the dropouts are coming back after hours.

If there's no fix I need to send the P10 back and stay on iOS, but I don't really want this.

Any suggestions?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
There seem to a few issues to address, and I know there's at least one more update coming in the next week or two (hopefully fixing VoLTE/Wi-Fi calling issues). The camera also seems to be worse than the Mate 9 in my tests*, so hopefully there are camera optimisations to come too.

How long can you hang on before having to send the phone back for an easy refund?

* This doesn't mean the P10 camera isn't good, just in direct comparisons the Mate 9 seems to expose things better without manual intervention.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
I have to send it back on 28/03/17, when there aren't any updates. I hope the phone won't get any scratch.

EDIT: Found a solution after googling the whole night (lazy night shift work :D).

It seems that the Contact Share causes the problem with low performance car systems. I disabled this and the music played fine.

The reason seems to be the contact push from Android device to Car system. The phone send all contacts to the receiver when it's connected but this can be to much for older or low powered devices.

I have a Seat Ibiza with a Seat portable Satnav from Garmin with only 500Mhz.

In the MB Sprinter at my work there wasn't any problem - maybe because the MB car system has more power or handles the contact sharing a bit different.

So, disable contact share in BT device settings and everything should working fine.

Now I'm waiting for a root because of reasons...any clues when or if this will happen?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bazzanaja:
Is the lack of screen coating an issue for you guys?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
I haven't taken off the factory fitted protector yet, but I am having to clean regularly because it becomes really greasy.

I've got a tempered glass protector coming this afternoon (love Amazon for Sunday deliveries!) and will probably peel the plastic one off, give the screen underneath a good clean and then go with that.

I have a glass protector on my Honor 8, and while it only just covers the screen (on account of the curved glass that would otherwise stop the edges sticking), it looks great and has an oleophobic coating.

My Mate 9 also has the plastic cover but seems to be better at avoiding marks, but I dislike any phone coming with a plastic protector. I remember when Sony did this on the Xperia phones, and it seems very surprising that Huawei now chooses to do it.

It undermines the otherwise great design.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
Update: the tempered glass protectors arrived and they don't fully cover the display. Much worse than the Honor 8, and probably unusable.

I didn't think the P10 screen was that curved, but clearly it is - so it looks like we're stuck with the standard cover (or fitting another plastic one, with all the risks of dust/bubbles).

I know those who removed the plastic cover regret it, so I suggest people don't play around with it.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
I ordered a glass protector, too. But it didn't fit - luckily I didn't remove the factory protector.

I hope there will be a good alternative soon. For my i6S I have a really good tempered glass protector which covers the whole screen even though it's rounded.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
What about trying a screen spray / liquid cover as an alternative? I've never used one but it might be a solution.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
I was given some samples of 'Shark Proof wipe-on liquid' last year which I applied to the P9, that doesn't have a cover, so that's always an option.

I have another pack so may give that a try. Frankly plastic protectors age badly, and the glass one not even covering the edges is far from ideal (on the Honor 8, it pretty much covered the screen perfectly).

I have a window cover case so at least protecting the screen isn't quite as essential, compared to leaving the phone naked (which I don't recommend!).
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] andycat:
Multi user?

Hi, is the P10 multi user, can you add users/guests etc as stock android can?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] frgo:
It's multiuser.

I found out that the flash led runs really hot when used as flashlight and it's really bright.

Is it possible to dim the light with the control center and lockscreen toggles?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
What do you mean ? Control brightness of flashlight ?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ray_J13:
the battery consumption for p10 seems inconsistent among different reviewer, some said idle drain battery but some said 4-5 hrs screen on time.

Hope to see review from official released phone instead of pre-release phone.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
There's meant to be another update that may fix the Wi-Fi Calling issues, and I still have the phone showing as 'awake' all the time - even though that can't be true. GSAM Battery Monitor shows Doze is working, for example.

Today my P10 lasted only until mid afternoon, albeit with a lot of usage (screen on most of the train travel to a theme park, and taking photos and using while queuing for rides) so I needed to connect to a power bank to do two top-ups, and got home with 20%.

I'd say the total SoT was probably 5-6 hours so I guess I shouldn't complain too much.. the signal was variable too.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ray_J13:
SoT 5-6 prior power bank top up after power bank top up?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
I couldn't say for sure as once you charge, the old data goes. But I was using the phone a lot for the whole day, and as it was very sunny the brightness was max for a lot of it.

B120 (L29-C432) improved greatly my battery life.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] young_fresh:
I am still on B113 and did not recieve any OTA..
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] scgf:
The lack of an oleophobic coating was a big deal-breaker for me. I thought I'd be OK with screen protectors but after watching a few reviews I found my eyes constantly drawn to the ill-fitting protector and I couldn't un-see it and certainty couldn't deal with it on a day-to-day basis. I'm a bit like Gollum when it comes to my phone, lol.

To cut a long story short I cancelled my P10 pre-order and went out and bought a Google Pixel in black. I also have a Nillkin black hard case and it looks really nice. Can call it 'my precioussss' now!
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
Once a 3D screen protector is available this will fit perfectly. 2D have gaps.

[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] h4gH:
I have a chance to buy either Huawei P10 (which is my favorite right now) o or a Galaxy S7 for a very good price... company offer. What would you choose guys? Basically I don't care about the water proof and wireless charging at Galaxy S7.

I am a Nexus fan boy (currently Nexus 6P, but it's a little too big for me) but there is a limited offer at T-Mobile in my country and those two are the only solid choices now. And the price for me is really great.

So what would you choose as an smaller size upgrade from N6P please?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] lifenight:
I had a Nexus 6p before a P9 and P10. The best thing is to try both or watch presentations trough YouTube to choose your favorite.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonmorris:
The P10 is newer, which probably makes it more exciting for that fact alone. It supports faster 4G technologies, is thin, has decent battery life and a nice screen. It also has a very good camera.

The S7 is of course a good phone too, so I think it will come down to personal preference and perhaps seeing them both side-by-side.

If the P10 is too small, the next step is the P10 Plus - which has better lenses and a superior display. That's worth looking at too as it might be a closer match for a S7.

Hi,

I rooted my P10 and wanted to remove the HwMediaCenter (Music) app. But I get "/dev/block/dm-0 is read-only" when I try to remount /system as rw.

Any ways to remove the files?

When I just uninstall it with app or delete the apk only, the Music app appears again after reboot.

The only file I can't delete is the HwMediaCenter.odex in /system/priv-app/HwMediaCenter/oat/arm64.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
I would go for the S7 personally.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
I have the European / German P10 with Single Sim and wondering if Huawei built a extra model for European market with a Single Sim module or did they block the dual sim function in the software?

If there's a software block, is it possible to rebrand or unblock?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.mrcn:
It was possible with P9, so with P10 is probably the same... But sim tray is still different, isn't?

BTW - there is no VTR-L29 in DE?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
The tray has different labels on it. Instead of "SIM 2 or SD" is there "SD Only" but the tray can hold a second nano sim.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.mrcn:
So grab oem info and full firmware from L29 and try to rebrand :)
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
Sounds easy when you say it...:eek:

Is there a tutorial or can I do it like in P9 tutorials?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.mrcn:
Probably no one has tried this before...
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
Ok...now I messed up. I tried to rebrand with funkyhuaweis tutorial.

So I backed up my oeminfo and replaced the files with the L29 files from funkyhuawei (I still have a backup of the original files on my pc).

But now, the P10 won't boot. It only shows the eRecovery.

TWRP is gone and the bootloader is locked.

I can't get the unlock code without booting the phone, because I need IMEI, serial and hw-id.

Then I tried the recovery with eRecovery, but WIFI isn't starting.

Any suggestions or do I have to buy a new one :(

EDIT:

Got IMEI and serial with fastboot, but I need the product-id.

I tried the Huawei Product ID Generator tool but it didn't work.

Any ideas?
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jannomag:
I have to say something about funkyhuawei.club.

I bricked my L09C432 after I tried to rebrand it as L29C432.

My bootloader was locked after I flashed L29 oeminfo and I didn't have the code anymore. So nothing worked.

But the Chat support of funkyhuawei.club was great. He helped me to set up the correct DNSv6 and stayed with me while the phone was updating via funkyhuawei.

Now I have a rebranded L09C432 as L29C432.

But what was the reason for me to rebrand?

I wanted the Dual SIM feature which isn't available for L09 models.

First I thought it won't work because there's not the right hardware build in.

BUT no I have L29 branding and Dual SIM ist working perfectly!

So if you want to get dual SIM on your L09 you have to rebrand it. That's not that hard if you follow the instructions from funkyhuawei.
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] gxg:
while Debranding.. I belive you flashed funkyHuawei rom... can you tell us what's your rom version now?
