Does anyone knows , If i rebrand my C605 to C432, the 4g from my networks will keep working on the 2 Sims?

Enviado de meu BLA-L29 usando o Tapatalk
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] KevinAce:
Yes they will. I was originally a BLA-L29 C605 and then I rebranded to C432 and did the VoLTE fix for the USA, before the US version of the phone came out so my T-MOBILE sims would work. And both worked on volte (4G). Then I rebranded to BLA-A09 US single sim model because I didn't want the headache of redoing my phone every time a new build came out because on the US brand, VoLTE works on US carriers out of the box and it's funny, even though BLA-A09 phone and branding are single SIM, both my SIMS work on 4G because my original hardware is the dual SIM BLA-L29. So you will be fine.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] felipy2k:
wow .. you rebrand 2 times then? this what im about to do ... from C605 that seems forgot from huawei to C432 ,,,, but i read that i will need to connect to a VPN to Europe to get OTA later on ..
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] KevinAce:
I used funkyhuawei. But when I rebranded to Europe, I got an OTA. And then when I rebranded to USA, I also got an OTA. My bootloader is locked and I'm not rooted. I was at one point for the USA VoLTE on the Europe branding.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] felipy2k:
im thinking about rebrand cause the 134 that i got now dont make the 4.000 mah last that long! but $65 to rebrand is too expensive !
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] KevinAce:
I actually did the lifetime package. I know pricey. But like everyone else we all thought Huawei was really going to treat us and this device like a flagship. With FH, I get the updates before Firmwarefinder and OTA. So that's why I did it and he really helped me out when I did need to unlock bootloader and root and then helped me put it back. I think we were on a remotepc conference twice for at least 8 hours. He took care of me and for that I felt it was worth the $$$.

---------- Post added at 02:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

Funny thing is now that I know it's going to take 2 to 3 months to get an update on the US branding, I'm likely going to go back to Europe branding with that new update. Europe does seem to get updates quickest. The US model - we still cannot unlock the phone with "OK Google"... We are way behind.

142-C432 in France.

Nice update with face ID Bluetooth fix, security patch Vowifi optimization.

Will see next days but it's a better update than the last one. Phone seems smoother

142 is in Poland already. But still no hdr in netflix. According to the support, we need to wait more...

[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] freakshow999:
Nope. And I even tried the Huawei firmware updater 3rd party app. It only showed .110 as the newest version. It it connects to the Chinese server!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] KevinAce:
I posted a chat session I had with Huawei USA support about a week ago and they said the next US update/build is 2 to 3 months away.... No face unlock for us for a long time. And OK Google still does not unlock our phones... All international variants of the phone got that a long time ago. It's sad the US is being overlooked. The latest OTA in the USA is .112 with the April Google security patch.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] freakshow999:
Well, I the hardware on the this phone is great.

However I do not get anywhere near the battery life as others. I did do a complete drain and charge which seemed to help. I have a high Amp charger in my car and lose battery or it doesn't gain any% just having Google maps open and that's having my areas offline maps on the phone!

I bought this because both my Motorola phones Android One (x4) and AT&T Force z2 have BT issues with my car and I wanted something more flagship for my daily.

They are on 8.1 & 8.0 respectively. The z2 worked fine until the 8.0 update and AT&T says it will be fixed in their 8.1 update and gawd knows when that will happen.

I like buying or building way over spec'd electronics so I don't need to update every year. I'm getting to old for modding, rooting, and flashing, etc. With the exception of my home screen layouts.

Honestly the z2 is a perfectly fine phone. But, I spend a lot of time on the road. The z2's battery life smokes this thing. I even did the complete drain thing. It made it better but nowhere near the z2. I'm going to have to do a factory reset. I hate setting up my phones again and again. I work in I.T. and manage several clients domains. I have several email accounts and work related apps.

I really like the size and hardware on this phone. My number one gripe is the fricken UI! Mine is a bit buggy. All other variants of the Pro model have received incidental updates and all are slated to get P in the 3rd quarter except for the US model of course!

I think I've got a a couple more days in which I can return this.

At least with the z2 I could install and use the standard Google apps instead of the UI's. You can't even install dialer on this. I really want to keep this phone, but I think I just talked myself into returning it while writing this! [emoji23]
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] malikin:
USA users will get update in JULY

still in 112
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] 0alfred0:
1. draining battery completely and then charging it to 100% is like raping your battery twice.

2. what does high amp charger mean? You need the Huawei supercharge carcharger to get fast charging speeds. its a dedicated technology. you also need a high amp (5A) usb cable to make it work. it comes with the car charger (btw mine works fine i charge like the wallcharger: 45min 5-82%%, enough for a day)

3. you can use all the google apps. i came from the Google Nexus 6P and missed stock android (mainly cause emui sucks visually)

here is what i did to turn the phone into a pixel clone by downloading some modded apks on xda and more:

rootless pixel launcher (xda)

pixel live wallpapers (xda)

google dialer (xda)

simpleO theme for emui5/8 v1.2d (from themes factory app, recommended by xda; this makes status and notification bar icons look like Oreo/Pixel)

I attached some screenshots, maybe i can inspire you. Despite all the update mess and all, i think this is a great phone. (live wallpaper changes according to weather and daytime)

PS: Lithium-ion phone batteries are best kept between 45 and 55%. This is when the wear is minimal. depleting or charging 100% means high wearout. That is why all fast charging technologies advertise 50% in 30min, because above roughly 60% the charger has to slow down significantly to maintain the battery. In fact, chargin your battery to 100% instead of 95% will wear out you battery 2x as quick. so if you are looking for a phone that lasts you long term the mate 10 is the right phone. the battery is big enough to charge it only up to 90-92% and you still get a full day of use. the battery will only wear out roughly 30-35% if charging to 100% means 100% wearout, meaning it should last longer than other phones, probably many years until it wears out.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] madman_cro:
There is always method of charging as you wish and then exchanging battery if its degraded in 2 years. Doubt it will be too expensive.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] freakshow999:
I've never done the battery thing. This was the first time in my life. I have been explaining to people for years that you don't need to do it on lithium batteries. However, when I first received my phone it went from 80% to 20% just in the couple of hours. I threw it on their charging cable connected to one of my 5 amp output desktop usb charging docks and it charged quickly, though not as quickly as the z2. I then used it for finishing setup and browsing the web for a couple of hours and went to bed. When I woke up it was at 33%. My car charger is a QC3 Usb C 5 amp charger along with a matching cable. When I plug my phone in with the screen off it shows the green bubbles and Huawei QC. I know the charging controller will stop charging at 85% If you plug it in and it's close to that already. Same thing in the car. I lose at minimum 20% overnight compared to 5% on my z2 running with the ambient screen. Both are setup identical. When I'm in the car the phone is usually plugged in, but I am also using maps most of the time. I usually let it get down to 45% or below before I throw it on the charger now.

I have a week to make my decision. Since there is an xda dialer I will try out your mods and see how it works. It has had problems properly loading apps properly. It seemed to happen after I rebooted the phone last night.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Tiago A:
So, the right way to charge my device is only at 90-95% and never 100%? Should I charge it from which %?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] mrocca:
Your phone behavior is not general, you might have a defective unit. My battery drops 4~5% overnight and it lasts me for 2 days of normal use (emails, whatsapp, streaming Netflix and music) Regards

Most of the time I'm under Wi-Fi coverage. If you are on 3G or 4G then it might be another thing. Low signal requires more battery.

I'm in firmware 142 on my bla29 c432. They added face unlock with this but apparently wifi is broken.

Randomly it switches back to mobile connection and looses the ability to scan the wifi network, to fix it i just have to turn off and back On the wifi toggle. Anyone having the same issue?
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] Bordo_Bereli51:
No I do not have that issue. Maybe try to wipe dalvik cache and cache and see, if it works.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] nicogri:
For the batteries I have accubattery installed on my phones for a while now and put a warning at 70% charging...

9 on 10 charges I stop there. Sometimes if I forgot the phone or have big day to come I let it go to 90+ % but very rare cases.

The battery health will stay good much longer as we know in modern sealed phones it's a pain in the ass to change.

To get back to subject after few days still very happy with 142 runs very fine now I only wait for 8.1 to get improvements google made on system.

My past experience with Huawei Mate 9 was that the OTA update even if available is Telco dependant as they need to do their own testing I believe

So what I realised then was the Msian Telco released OTA updates faster than Spore.

So what I did was to insert a Msian prepaid SIM and check updates and voila I received the OTA update ahead of Spore users who stay with Spore Telco SIMs.

Hi. Was just wondering why you need to revert all network changes at early stages of download? Why not after the download has completed? Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] somemadcaaant:
Couple of reasons, authenticates the download at the end before install so you don't want the VPN on during this part in case it fails, so best to pause during download to continue and it's probably faster to download with out the VPN active which doesn't need to be on after download starts.

Also you don't need to download DNS changer for his step 3.1, FF has this feature built in by selecting "Get an update through DNS (Beta)", just follow instructions.
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] EngrVan:
It's easier to revert the DNS with DSN Changer. ;)
[Huawei Mate 10  Guides, News, & Discussion] somemadcaaant:
Haha maybe, but there's no changing/reverting DNS settings required with FF if you use the below method, plus no need installing another app on top.

1. In FF select Check firmware approved is available.

2. Select Get an update through DNS then select Register Update (registers your IP against update server), select Change DNS (starts VPN with required DNS automatically).

3. Go to Phone Settings and download update as normal, once download starts pause.

4. Stop FF VPN via the notification menu at bottom (click it, then select Open VPN settings, then select FF for Huawie to cancel).

5. Unpause update and wait for download. Then restart as required.

Installed B142 on my Mate 10 Pro. Runs a lot smoother than 137. Hope it's not just something temporary.

Full OTA, bootloader didn't relock, so that's one less thing to worry about.

Are you rooted as well as having your bootloader unlocked and were able to install OTA?

Also with the bootloader unlocked, do you get that annoying 5 second delay when rebooting?
