[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] armsel:
Extremely disappointed by my P20 Pro Wifi - when to a guest house, abroad over the last weekend - 3 nights - 2 days - I was unable to use the WiFi for some reason.

All other devices - laptop, iPhoneSE, Huawei Y3 and Xiomi Mi5 had no problem whatsoever, only on my P20 Pro I was getting all the time that "Internet is not available on this WiFi", and only seldomly it was available and I was able to browse some few minutes and then again - internet is becoming unavailable.

It drove me crazy!

I did try all tricks in the book - forget wifi, enable/disable wifi, WiFi+ enable/disable, phone reboot, clear phone cash even, set IP and DNS manually as per the settings I got from my laptop - still the same!

In the end I gave up, bought a big mobile data bundle and switched off the WiFi.

Attached a screenshot telling me I have to speak to the network admin. :)

Only thing I thought of but couldn't find the option is to set the WiFi to be 2.4 Ghz only, does someone know how that is done?

Back home - all is back to normal - both home and work WiFi is working fine.

Anybody with similar experience? Did you manage to resolve it? I was on the first Pie (and got an update yesterday).

I have the p20 lite and theres definitely a difference in signal strength between my phone and other phones put next to each other. The mobile network reception is lower, to a point where the other phones get good signal and I have none. Same with the WiFi. Is there a way to make the strength to receive better?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] lbjgh:
Interesting, I just got EMUI 10.0 for my P20 pro and ran a wifi benchmark. It seems like wifi is about 20% more efficient than with EMUI 9.1 for me.

We know how much you like to stream, ahem, "videos", and so cellular data is mega-important. Rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei P20 Pro's LTE performs. A higher rating indicates that it's fantastic: throughput is excellent and signal strength is top-notch.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] yippicaiyo:
the signal is very good i have much more signal in my room than my S6 had
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] esiemi:
so far better than my s7 edge, for example in my room i used to get 1 bar 4G now i get full 4G signal
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] DaveP2611:
Good signal with Three UK middle of Butlins holiday park in a bar and a solid 4/5 bars and speed test of 25Mb
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Suggy62:
I've got a poor Three signal at home whichever phone I use, but WiFi calling kicks in via my home AP and the quality is very good. The WiFi calling came as a very pleasant surprise.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] RubyRP62:
Better than my S9+ with better bandwidth... :good:
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] heinzy8:
Did you purchase your phone from Three?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Suggy62:
Yes, but the phone doesn't seem to be branded in anyway that i can see, so I'm guessing it's standard functionality that's just enabled by the SIM
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] heinzy8:
Thanks. I am thinking of getting one but I'm the same as you. Three signal at home is hopeless so wifi calling is a must for me.
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] marko68:
Great reception! Much better than my iPhone X! I have signal everywhere with ee and WiFi calls as well
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] AndroidMilos:
Great signal on TMO here in Methuen, Ma (near NH border)
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] David Horn:
Better signal than my S8 but only half the speed with EE.

Cellular signal has been really good. No trouble even when being used in am above-ground parking garage.

Proper etiquette aside (hint: don't use speakerphone while doing your "business" in a public bathroom), rate this thread to express how you think the Huawei P20 Pro's speakerphone performs. A higher rating indicates that you love it: it's loud and it's clear.

did they turn on dolby atmos?
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Neo_Sk8eR:
I've got it now and yea Atmos cannot be disabled when using speakers. It's really not good compared to the s9
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] esiemi:
very good, loud and clear even when driving with the phone on my lap (for phone calls)

EDIT: for youtube and movies is very loud and clear with good details ( compared to my s7 edge), watched some Dolby atmos videos on youtube and the surround/stereo effect is very good
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] front firing speakers:
it will be interesting to compare with the galaxy s9 plus that has great speakers
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] Neo_Sk8eR:
No contest, the s9 plus wins

Compared both sides by side and it's not even close
[Huawei P20 Pro Real Life Review] XDARoni:
Speakerphone is decent. It's nothing special, but gets the job done.

Hi. I'm using Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 version on my d802. And living in Turkey. But i have issues with 4G connection. So my sim card is provided by Vodafone (i have bad english..) And can't use 4G most times. When i lock bands for 4G. It can be good but can't receive calls and can't make calls. So. May be i could enable VOLTE and solve that problem. Anybody knows the solution?

My model is XT1710-09 of Tim Italia with single sim, but it has also been tested in a dual sim model.

This tutorial explains how to get back from LineageOS to stock firmware without losing the IMEI. You should always make a copy of the IMEI in TWPR.

How does it work:

You have to be in a modified rom.

1- You have to download this firmware with the February 2018 patch: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=962187416754466195

2- Install adb minimal fastboot: https://xdaforums.com/sho....php?t=2317790

3- After installing adb minimal fastboot, go to the location of the ADB installation and paste all the files extracted from the downloaded firmware there.

4- Copy all the commands of this thread in the cmd window, press enter and wait.

Commands:

fastboot getvar max-sparse-size

fastboot oem fb_mode_set

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0

fastboot erase carrier

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase DDR

fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

fastboot oem lock

fastboot oem lock

fastboot flash oem oem.img

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] TravellingGuy:
While this get me back to the stock Moto ROM, it did not lock my bootloader. :(

Got the dreaded "Image signed with key bad key" message during various times during using the fastboot commands and my bootloader remains unlocked.

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] julesism:
I think you should try it again :) I went thru the process posted in another thread by rajatgupta1998 and ended up exactly where you are now. I manually flashed a modified boot.img via adb to get the blue/red splash screen back although some text was still visible including bad key message.

When this topic was created, I decided to give it one more try. I had so may files unzipped from previous zips/flashes etc., I decided to make a clean adb folder with nothing but this zip/files extracted in it. Low and behold, it worked for me. I believe once, maybe twice the process stopped and I had to manually copy/paste the next command. Maybe something was missed.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] SinkyChan17:
Here's hoping this fixes my NFC issue :)
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] Kacike27:
This happened to me because I did not install the latest firmware. It is because the bootloader is more recent than the firmware you are trying to install. When putting the firmware of February 2018 I have been able to close the bootloader three times, after returning several times to lineageOS.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] TravellingGuy:
I actually did try it twice that evening and the same thing happened both times. That was also from a fresh folder.

So, I was on LineageOS when I followed your process. Your process includes steps to flash the bootloader and the firmware, which *should* mean the bootloader is the same version as the corresponding firmware (i.e. I didn't skip in any steps in the process that may have allowed a more recent bootloader to remain on my device).

I see from this post (a different, older device, but could very still be relevant), (s)he says

I wonder if it's also dependent on carrier and/or region. I'm in Canada, maybe there is a slightly modified bootlader for us Canucks or a different bootloader depending on the carrier or purchase location.

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] ogabriel:
Working fine on xt-710-07 also (Brazilian unlocked).

The only bug is the NFC is gone. Anyone has a workaround for this?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] kewlzter:
I just experienced this after returning to stock from LineageOS, and there was no way I was going to settle for it.

I followed the instructions only omitting the lock and reboot commands.

Flashed TWRP, (twice to be sure), rebooted into recovery, then restored my EFS, Data, and logo. (I think 'Data' is optional, I just didn't want to start over), NFC now works fine again.

I think you always need to restore your EFS.

However, the first time I tried just restoring EFS, after boot/setup, and that didn't work. so I think you have to do it prior to boot.

i imagine you could follow instructions completely, immediately booting into bootloader then use TWRP "Boot" instead of "flash", if your end game is to relock bootloader.

I successfully locked my US variant using following method

Hello,

I can confirm that using following sequence I was able to successfully lock my US variant without loosing IMEI (EFS Partition)

Here is the Stock file I used:

Retail US Stock (ALBUS_C) (ALBUS_NA_CUST) XT1710-01

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657596522

Those on Retail channel can perhaps use following stock file

Retail Stock (ALBUS)

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=890129502657596046

I used mfastbootv2 for my bootloader locking (Google it, easy to find)

Here is the sequence I followed:

Phase-1 (Factory Flashing)

======

mfastboot flash partition gpt.bin

mfastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

mfastboot flash dsp adspso.bin

mfastboot flash logo logo.bin

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

mfastboot flash oem oem.img

mfastboot erase cache

mfastboot erase userdata

mfastboot erase carrier

mfastboot erase DDR

mfastboot reboot

<<Please note mfastboot erase modemst1 and mfastboot erase modemst2 commands are not being used in the above sequence>>

After reboot I wanted my phone to fully bootup upto "Welcome" screen to ensure I've LTE connectivity with my cellular provider and my IMEI is intact

Once verified, I rebooted the phone into the bootloader,

-While your phone is completely switched off, Hold <Power + Vol Down> button for few seconds to boot phone into the bootloader

Phase-2 (OEM Bootloader Locking)

======

mfastboot oem lock

mfastboot oem lock

mfastboot flash oem oem.img

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.5

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.6

mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk.7

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot oem lock

Following is the final message I got

mfastboot oem lock

...

(bootloader) Lock complete! Flash signed images after reboot if needed

OKAY [ 0.148s]

finished. total time: 0.152s

My phone automatically rebooted once the above sequence was completed

Give it a try at your risk - Best of Luck!!
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] sevenstar75:
Hi,

1) What is your variant? I mean XT1710-?? Is that RetUS software channel?

2) Did you toggle Allow OEM Unlocking to "ON" before unlocking your phone?

3) While that toggle currently grayed out, is the toggle - ON or OFF?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] TravellingGuy:
1) XT1710-01, retca (Canadian channel)

2) I would have toggled the "Allow OEM Unlocking" to On in developer settings when I originally unlocked it. (You can't unlock it unless you set that toggle.)

3) I'm actually not sure if it's on or off (and I'm back to Lineage OS, so can't check). I would assume it's On, since that's what I would have set it to.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] sevenstar75:
Perhaps those sneaky bas****s of Motorola have made a different oem.img and boot.img for RetCA channel, that is the only explanation if you are unable to lock your boot loader with ALBUS_C stock images!! In your About Phone what is the Baseband version? Mine has a prefix of ALBUS_NA_CUST, does yours too?

Hi Kacike27,

I still am facing 2 problems, i hadnt checked it before . .

1) when i enter into Bootloader, the "Software status" still shows as "Modified"

2) From there when i enter into recovery mode, it shows "No Command" with "red exclamation" and "Android".

Could you guide me on how to solve this issue ?

UPDATE: I am able to enter to recovery mode via that screen where it shows "No Command" with "Red Excalmation", while on the stated screen i have to First press "Power Button" then a moment later i have to press "Volume Up" button once; that way i am able to enter into Stock recovery.

But my 1st problem still exists i.e

when i enter into Bootloader, the "Software status" still shows as "Modified"

Please provide some guidance if possible..

I tried again and Works Fine. But, the bootloader not show software status official. Just bootloader Lock. Is there any way to rollback to Android 7.1.1 and OTA update to Android 8.0? I think it will fix the software status to original. Or, I should wait for the ota May update? When I receive any update through OTA it will fix the software status, right ?
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] unerds:
used the method described by sevenstar75 for my Canadian variant.

bootloader is locked and evidently, the boot.img is signed, but the sofware status still reads as "modified" from the bootloader screen.

i had previously just been rooted with magisk and had twrp and all that... wondering if skipping the "erase modem" bits could make the difference in it being considered official or modified... or if perhaps, there is something else here that prevents "official" status.

also, will OTAs work if it's reading as modified?

searching for system updates through the device and it claims that it's up to date, but it's on the feb patch...

i assume there's been at least one other update since then, yeah?

any thoughts?

[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] julesism:
I have not troubleshot much, but it may not be possible to relock bootloader if you manually flashed Oreo via fastboot, especially if you follow the instructions here. I tried it and it did not work. My guess is you cannot flash a boot.img that is older than what is installed. I'm kinda tempted to relock (again) but meh.
[Moto Z2 Play  Guides, News, & Discussion] souhrid:
First of all i never tried this on z2 play, but this worked for me in z play ( was just browsing through this forum). For those who get bootloader signed with a bad key error should try this ( I'm no expert and very noob). I had same error coming up while trying to relock z play bootloader and it was working fine for everyone else but not me.

1) Connect your phone to pc and open minimal adb

2) Type adb devices

3) Check whether your device comes up or shows unrecognised . For me adb devices command give unrecognised.

4) If show unrecognised enable developer options

5) In debugging > revoke all debugging authorisations

6) Now plugin your phone to pc and authorise it ( select always authorise from this computer )

7) Confirm by adb devices command whether it is authorised.

8) Now go to fastboot mode and type fastboot device to get serial and continue relocking.

This has helped me with bad key error and I'm no expert. Please try it yourself.
