[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mscion:
Hi. From reading your post I interpreted "do whatever you want" as more a reflection on the capability to root and modify phone like flashing TWRP and other roms like you mentioned, as opposed to simply having more storage memory and ram, which the Chinese model has. Anyways, I was just trying to be helpful. Regardless, if we can get this phone the way we like, it will be a beast!

This is bad news if you live in US. The bands are not suitable for T-Mobile or AT&T. So the model released for Asia Pacific is a no go for me. Only hope is the Chinese version but if I can't put L29 firmare I'm out. Chances are slim so I'm a little sad...

Yeah old video. It also doesn't have an EAN code on the box. So it's no retail release.

BTW i found this video that shows the Mate 20 X EVR-L29 with Widevine L3 DRM what means that only 480p/540p works with Netflix. I don't know if the EVR-L29 or EVR-AL00 retail also have this. But if this is true it realy sucks.

[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
The main reason is to have a bootloader that can be unlocked. It looks like none of the global (or non-Chinese) variants of the Mate 20 series will be able to have their bootloaders unlocked.

Why do you want to replace the Chinese ROM with a global one? You'll get slower updates and fewer of them, and they'll stop sooner. Just remove the Chinese stuff and bloatware.

This method should work perfectly well on the Mate 20 series too.

https://xdaforums.com/note-10/how-to/guide-to-remove-apps-root-t3828324

Obviously works on that guy's Note 10. Works on my Note 8 and P20 Pro too. With it fully de-bloated my Chinese Note 8 is WAY faster than my stock P20 Pro in terms of general operation.

I thought earlier in the thread it was determined the L29 variant WOULD work in the States but now it appears otherwise? Will either of the variants of the phones work in the United States?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
And also the google services (assistent, voice, voice dictate. youtube, etc) will work ??
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Xamadeu:
yes, old, but you can see the letters L29 and different power connector and see it is really built and existent, since some people doubt, that the model even exist.

It should not prove that you can already order and get the L29 already, sorry for confusion.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mimmog:
Yes it exist but We must wait and see the test on this model....
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mscion:
Thank you for your post. First, I should not have made such a general statement about why folks want the Chinese version, I am only stating my general preference. Sorry about that!

Currently I have Mate 10. I got the Chinese version with best specs. I bought it from Wonda Mobile and they put L29 on it. I've had it about a year and I get updates on a roughly monthly basis which is fine with me. It should be updated to Pie in the not too distant future. I don't expect support to last as long as the Chinese version but by the time it peters out I will be long gone using a different phone. Of the many versions I heard folks complain about updates, one of the worse has been the L09 (so called European version) Maybe because of where it was designed for (e.g. Hong Kong etc.) the L29 gets more support than L09.

Returning to the issue of unlocked bootloader. This is a problem that appears to prevent the flashing of different types of firmware. So the link in your post is quite intriguing as it may allow me to remove all artifacts of Chinese language on phone. Nothing against Chinese but I do not like it when I have Chinese notifications or text in Chinese in settings after setting language to English. Also HiVoice only worked in Chinese which was annoying. This was my experience with my Mate 9. Even tried to learn some Chinese so I could answer phone using a vocal command. But I never got that good at it.

You can currently buy the Chinese version of 20x with google play store installed but maybe because of my OCD side I want a version that works only in the language I choose. Thanks again for your post. I will check out the link you gave further.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
If you add them, sure? Why would they not?

I don't think there have been any reports of them not working on HW phones with them installed? My HN8 came with them installed - though I uninstalled them all.

If you're worried about Huawei's voice recognition, you just remove it with the method I posted in the link - which I did. It's completely gone, as are any and all elements of Chinese. Just make sure you install another keyboard / launcher before you delete the IME keyboard, or Huawei Home if you're going to use another launcher - I'm using Trebuchet.

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

Per my above post, I've completely removed all elements of Chinese on my HN8, including HW Voice. The method is also useful for removing bloat on HW Global ROMs.

As things currently stand, I would definitely not buy any non-Chinese Huawei phones. It seems the future for actually owning your own phone and its file system, or being able to install and remove non-approved / approved software, on non-Chinese variants, is pretty grim.

From what I can gather, hugely more people unlock the bootloader and / or root, and use custom ROMs in the Chinese market. Partly probably due to censorship. The Chinese government have so far shown little to no interest in either shutting this down or discouraging it though, funnily enough, unlike some Western governments. So it would be very bad for business and PR if in the Chinese market they were to adopt what seems to be their new global policy of not just denying unlock codes, but not exposing the bootloader at all to potential unlocking.

So for now, I think it's relatively likely that the Chinese devices will remain more open.

Similar things seem to be happening with Xiaomi. Though they haven't locked down the bootloader on global variants of their phones yet, you may face a wait of 2-3 months for an unlock code, and once you do, you may brick your device due to the anti-rollback, if you're not careful. Chinese market devices can be purchased with the bootloader unlocked already, and there appear to be fewer issues with the anti-rollback.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] Leechoonhwee:
According to funkyHuawei, only the china hardware can be unlocked. However, they also mentioned that even with the unlocked bootloader, rebranding is not possible at the moment as there are mechanism that detects whether the rom is correct for the hardware.

As for the hardware variant, only China version gets the 8/256.

November 15 is the official date for the launch of Asian version aka L29 so I guess ebay might have some up for sale after that.

Yes but unless you made a mistake you mentioned US, and it seems LTE does work, someone in the US has the china version and is able to get lte, but again the l29 and al00 have the same bands except for one cdma extra band on the l29.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dominicstg2:
Hi guys so the note 9 is becoming hot while charging it has started happening the last couple of days. When I first got the phone on release it would never get hot. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
Have you noticed any change in charging times? That heat = wasted electricity which has to come from somewhere. There is only two places that heat could be coming from (afaik) are the processor or battery and it's charging circuity. Could be that the phone is doing a bunch of updates when you plug in the charger, if you have auto updates on or perhaps you had fast charging turned off before.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dominicstg2:
No updates phone has all connectivity turned off back gets really hot and yesterday the charger stopped charging the phone so I got the charger brick replaced and charges fine but seems very slow to charge and fast battery discharge
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] illetyus:
Turn off fast charging. I believe, even normal slow charging is fast compared to iphone 8 plus fast charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
charging any device while it's on will probably produce some heat.

just seems logical and I don't consider it an issue worth worrying about. it all depends of what your measure of hot is.

if your cable, port and charger are all mint, then all should be good.

if your cat bit the cable then look no further.

your alternative:

shut phone off and charge it.

it won't heat and probably charge in 20-30 mins to full charge from 0%

if it still got hot while charging at off then you may have hardware issue with equipment/phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
The heat is caused by the charging process, so the phone should heat up whether it's turned on or not. The voltage has to be dropped from the 5/9V input down to the ~4V that the phone battery charges to and that is not a 100% efficient process. The internal resistance of the battery itself also causes some heat.

Also there's no way you'd charge a Note 9 from 0 - 100% in 20-30 mins. Even factoring in no charging efficiency loss, you're looking at 51 minutes to charge a 15.4Wh battery with the 18W from the Samsung charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
I dont need any convincing lol

but the heat we can actually perceive on the phone case while it's on versus it's off is 2 things. dont think we can feel it while it's off. if I crack the phone open and touch the battery then yes obviously.

now for the 0 to a 100 in 20 to 30 mins while phone is off, I'll time it. but I'm pretty sure I'm not off by that much. again I'm not the one needing convincing in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] willhemmens:
Your phone should be almost exactly as hot whether it's turned on and not being used or turned off. The tiny amount of energy it takes to run a phone while it's dozing is nothing compared to the amount of energy dumped into the phones body while it's charging.

I'll happily test it but unless the charger suddenly starts outputting more than twice the rated amount of power into the phone when it is turned off, it's just not physically possible. Not trying to convince you, just trying to correct misinformation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
guess I did need convincing after all.

while powerdoff :

60 min = 81%

and it did get warm

guess we live and learn.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] danielsigma:
Mine is becoming a little hot while in wireless charging pad, and after complete the charge (at 100%)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
That is normal however it should cool down once your battery level is charged above the 50% mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] featureza8336:
Try installing a battery log app. I use this one and it records battery temp so you can look at that after it is done charging to see how hot it actually got.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Gunde:

[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] BigDisplay:
My mother in law have the Huawei Mate 8, its more then 2 years since it was released and she got her phone updated with oreo some month ago, so dont see any problems with updates at all.

Me my self have the zenfone 3 ultra to, but buy the Honor Note 10 as a substitute, the ultra did not get the Oreo update even Asus promised it long time ago.

It have been hard to me, for to replace the Ultra (damn good phone), i tried with Sammy Note 8, but that was to small, mi max 3, it have a fake rom, Honor 8X Max, not fast enough and now the Honor Note 10, BUT now i have to do the last step for the Mate 20 X, it looks so beautiful in all way for me, even Note 10 is really a nice phone... Really.

So i would not have any doubt at all... MATE 20 X, the OP6T will be to small for you for sure.

I personally wait a month or 2 for a special sale or a little price drop on it, if not i just gonna buy it for sure, its still little bit bigger then the Note 10, but still not as big as the ultra... Miss the good old 16/9 format.
