I'm not quite sure how this works. I bought my phone from mobiles.co.uk who are part of CPW whose phones are pretty much always carrier unlocked. I bought it with and have inserted a vodafone SIM. I have been on CLT-L09 8.1.0.103(C782) since the beginning. Am I reliant on Voda pushing firmware and other updates (such as Android upgrades and security) or will some come directly from HUAWEI?

I seem to remember on a previous phone I had that you could force a manufacturer update by taking the SIM out. Its all a bit confusing for someone with such a small brain :o
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] adamelphick:
You can use Firmware Finder (for Huawei phones) on the Play Store to check for updated firmware if your phone doesn't kick them in. It basically connects directly to the Huawei servers and checks, then gives you some options to download if your phone is signed off for that update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vitjinka:
In Firmware Finder (for Huawei phones) the P20 Pro isn't available at the moment
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
r u sure you not on 102(C782 - Europe)?, I have raised query with Huawei regarding the firmware updates as it seems ultrahd playback for netflix and amazon video do not work on our model, but do on the 106(C432 - Europe, Spain, France) version, so if they provide any info will let you know
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rheumatoid:
Definitely 103 (C782)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
so you're on a later version than others who got it directly from Three

Does Amazon and Netflix in HD/HDR/4K work on that release
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
I'm on 103 too (UK Three Network - Ordered via Mobiles.co.uk)

Netflix doesn't show any HD/4K shows
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rheumatoid:
I guess all mobiles.co.uk (and possibly all CPW group) might be on the same as they are not network locked / dependent?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
probably correct, but amazon ultrahd works fine on the mate 10 pro which is C782 and also on three, so hoping we get this working for the p20 pro as same phone, just improved ai, camera and dolby atmos

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

had an update from huawei clt-l29 8.1.0.107b(C432) has been officially released, they did state my C782 should receive this update, so asked them to clarify, as bad if the C782 is being left behind and is relying on Three to release the updates
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rheumatoid:
So I guess back to my original question. Are we reliant on the network operator pushing these updates (even though our phones are not locked to them or use network configured firmware) or will they come direct from HUAWEI?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
i've raised this with Huawei in my reply and also questioned thois on three's facebook page
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rheumatoid:
It is a bit confusing as to how this all works. I understood that for some things like wifi calling a phone needed network specific firmware but you wouldn't get this with an unlocked phone from CPW and we have the same firmware on different operators. Not tried wifi calling on voda on mine but see some guy on another thread has an issue and is on the same as us.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
this is reply I got from Huawei when my unlocked sim-free Mate 10 Pro purchased via CPW was rebranded with the 3 logo

And this will be the same as the P20 Pro, I still don't know why they say the version sold by CPW and H3G is the open market version, while later they say the wifi calling is on unbranded/open market devices, which suggests that the version sold by CPW are infact branded devices.

this is the reply to my post on Three's Facebook page

so if your phone has been branded by Three (included sim-free purchased devices) then they will be releasing the updates, which is probably why we are behind on C782 devices
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tricksterdude:
I just received my handset from EE. I'm on CLT-L09 8.1.0.103(C782). No updates available.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] David Horn:
So the phone is, effectively, permanently branded by the first sim card inserted? I noticed that mine keeps a folder of O2 apps after a factory reset since that was the first sim card inserted. Fortunately VOLTE works with an EE sim too.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rheumatoid:
Well thats CPW phones with Voda, 3 and EE SIMS in all running 103(C782). I wonder why non of them have been upgraded with any network specific firmware to enable wifi calling etc. non of it makes sense to me. :confused:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jccrawfo:
I bought mine from mobiles.co.uk and have been using it with an EE sim from day 1. WiFi calling worked immediately with no manual intervention required and I'm on the same .103 firmware as everyone else. I guess all mobiles.co.uk/CPW phones will be on the same firmware until our current carriers approve the next update, right?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
If u insert 3 sim first it would rebrand with 3 logo before their wifi calling worked.

If network providers can enable wifi calling on iPhones with a simple notification update, then not sure why the same can't be done on android.

I'm sick of network operators rebranding phones without our consent, especially on devices purchased sim free and unlocked.

Also if CPW phones are on 103(C782) then you would expect same when got from Three, but ours are on older update 102(C782).
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robot1000:
Anyone know if there is a specific network sim that can be inserted which doesn't 'brand' the phone?

I have a three sim, but prefer to avoid the three branding as it may impact it's resale value
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stargate1000:
I wish three would hurry their backsides up and at least update to 103, they are always late to the party. :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Stewiebrown:
I'm on Vodafone and WiFi calling doesn't work however other with the C432 firmware have WiFi calling working. Now I'm wondering, If I could go back to carphonewarehoue and say I've been doesn't support network features. I.e WiFi calling.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
All the sims will brand the phone in some way but unlike three they don't rebrand with a full screen logo

the resale value for huawei phones is not that good, the mate 10 pro is currently around £200 and the P20 Pro is currently around £340 unless you sell privately to someone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Rheumatoid:
Well mine wasn't really branded by the Voda SIM. A couple of apps were installed but I seem to remember that happened on my old Nexus 6. I just uninstalled them. There is no other indication it is on Voda.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robot1000:
Great. Thank you both!

And I'm I right in saying that WiFi calling works across the networks irrespective of which simcard is inserted first.

I'm on the 3 network, but considering using Vodafone sim when starting the phone for the first time, but then again I still want to have WiFi calling when I put my 3 sim back in.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
This is update just received from Huawei regarding my P20 Pro

I understood that the C432 and C782 were for different markets (ie C432 = Europe, France & Spain while C782 = Europe), so unsure how they would change the C432 to C782

So depending on the network operator for the first sim installed depends when and if you will get the update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Stewiebrown:
Mines C782 and was told the following:- Your device does not appear in our system as being branded by a retailer or network operator.

Was brought from mobiles.co.uk Vodafone contract. The plot thickens
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tommmtom:
I'm on 103(c782), and have been since I got the phone on the 7th....using an EE sim and wifi calling has worked the whole time. No updates yet. Bought the phone from very.co.uk

I received this today from Huawei..

In response to your email, you have available the CLT-L09 8.1.0.106(C432) update that corresponds to Android 8.1.0 and EMUI 8.1.0. It will arrive via OTA, which means you will receive a notification on the phone.

The update will be sent randomly based on the IMEI number of the phone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] golcheck:
That's funny. This is what they wrote to me:

"In response to your email, you have available the Charlotte-L29C 8.1.0.106 update that corresponds to Android 8.1.0 and EMUI 8.1.0. It will arrive via OTA, which means you will receive a notification on the phone.

The update will be sent randomly based on the IMEI number of the phone."

I'm on 102 C782 (Three UK)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
I've just received an update on my mate 10 pro which was unlocked but rebranded to 3 network and huawei say it is not being shown as being with 3 on their system, but my p20 pro is so did 3 have certain devices with certain imei numbers or certain software build on as others on different networks or purchased through different sources look to be running different firmware releases to 3 devices and 3 devices are unlocked, so you would expect updates to come from manufacturer not network operator
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Stewiebrown:
Appears they don't have a clue, I've lost faith with them and Vodafone, would just like some honest answers ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tricksterdude:
New firmware on firmware finder. Can't access it though.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
110 for the UK has been approved. It’s coming very soon.

---------- Post added at 07:37 ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 ----------

The Mate 10 Pro seems to operate slightly differently. I’m on Three. Both my Mate 10 Pro and P20 Pro were Carphonewarehouse phones. Unlocked. Sim free. My Mate 10 Pro on putting my sim in, rebranded with three splash screen and three apps. I wasn’t happy with this. I also had a dual sim mate 10 Pro from amazon Germany. Putting my 3 sim inside did nothing.

The P20 Pro when putting my 3 sim in, did nothing.

The device changes settings based on when putting a sim in. My personal guess is that after the Mate 10 Pro scenario, Three and or Carphonewarehouse changed for the P20 Pro. Maybe it was an error on the Mate 10 Pro.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] DaveP2611:
Sadly not the case.

I purchased the P20 Pro via mobiles.co.uk (part of CPW group) on a Vodafone contract. I put my Three sim card in as the number obviously hadn't been ported over yet and I now have a Three branded phone with 3 x Three related apps, a Three boot splash screen and also a default home page belonging to Three. I can uninstall the apps and change the homepage, but a factory reset brings them back and I will always have the boot screen.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
So after doing some reading in still clueless.

Im on c782 purchased phone to day from 02.

Setting up phone an update came through, i clicked update later. That update is now gone. Nowhere to be foubd.

Using firmware finder there is a firmware there saying c782 which im on but my security patch is march and the firnware app tells me the security is april.

So does anyone have any idea about this phone.

Im new to huawei
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] David Horn:
I don't think any UK phone has actually received an OTA update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I believe that is so.

I did speak to Huawei UK customer services, who checked my IMEI. They did confirm there is a software update that got released 2 days ago, and will be coming to phones in batches. I knew this info from another source(s) but it is good to get it from Huawei publicly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] potblack2win:
Huawei should still let people update their firmware using the HiSuite software even if they haven't received the OTA update notification.

Maybe its due to server load.

I am still waiting on CLT-L09 8.1.0.103(C782) and received my phone on 9th April 2018
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I 100% received an update, clicking update later the update dissapeared. I was connected to the hisuite at the time but even pressing software update while connected showed nothing
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwfcmadlad17:
I have the 110 update pending but can't do it until I connect to a WiFi network later. Be interesting to see what the changelog says as all it mentions is security updates for Google.

That's for single sim, the update has been released for dual sim but unknown when we'll get it
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Bwfcmadlad17:
110 brings the night mode to the main home screen on the camera now. Still looking for other obvious changes to the operations.

Has a scan / QR read function in the top corner now so you don't need a separate app.

Still no stabilised on 4k video.

The scrolling issues seem to be cured as well

Spoke to the Huawei live chat, asked for my IMEI number, said they release the updates to numbers in random batches and that I should hopefully get an update some time in the next few days.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] KevofCardiff:
Just my input on the WiFi calling discussion. I have a dual sim, unlocked handset from 3 (CLT-L29.8.1.0.102) and WiFi calling definitely works.

Unlike my wifes handet from EE where the WiFi calling indicator is always on when WiFi is available, on my handset it only comes on when I have WiFi and my mobile signal is too poor to make calls on. This happened recently for instance when 3 took down a cell station near where I work and I had very poor mobile signal, WiFi calling kicked in and I could make calls just fine. I can emulate this by putting the phone into flight mode, re-enabling WiFi and I can still make calls. (Just for info WiFi calling was switched off in settings but it was one of the first things I enabled).

My other query with 3 was around VOLTE support as there was no option in settings. I was advised that with 3 VOLTE is baked in and there's no switch required.

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ----------

And one more thing (I'm new to Huawei after being a long time Samsung user & coming from an S8+) . Following on from the updating discussion earlier in this thread I just tried to update my firmware (SIMs in) with no luck. I turned my phone off, removed the SIM tray, switched on, hit the update button and *ta-daaaa* .110 downloaded :)
