very wise. also, if you give it a couple of months to see how it gets on the price will fall too. Might be worth buying from amazon.de before March 29th to retain EU warranty. Should get better updates from the EU phone. I've been told by a contact at Huawei, that the Three network are causing the delays in the UK. Even if your are on a different network!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mwatson:
Has a quick look to see how the Mate 10 pro is getting on with updates. Sadly its not good. Looks like most M10P users have been put off with the M20P for this reason. Why can't Huawei on this?

What are u talking about? EU gets one update per month,'it's the most updated phone in Europe besides Pixel maybe

ppl whining cuz their carriers **** up things,one look at firmware finder and you'll see there's even too much updates
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mwatson:
I didn't get many on my last Huawei phone despite Firmware Finder. My Pixel gets them every month on the same network. That is why people are whining.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] troublecro:
Change carriers. They obviously favor Google phones. I'm even bit unsatisfied by too many updates for Mate 10 pro cuz I like to factory reset phone after each.

Taking a look at FF they pushed out 16 updates for EU region in last 12 months. Champions of updates I'd say

Trouble is from my experience EU had great update support, UK had poor support often 2 or 3 software updates behind (although I think security updates were a bit more regular). If I get a Mate 20 I’d be tempted to get a dual sim EU model over the single sim UK one.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mwatson:
This is why i use a pixel. Huawei in the UK seem to lag behind. Rumours are the 3 network is holding up precedings. This will affect you even if you're on a different network.

Several several years ago, I swore never to buy a Huawei phone again because of the horrendous lack of updates. Back then it was the enormous jump from KK to lollipop. Nexus devices back then we're about to jump to marshmallow before Huawei updated their phone to lollipop. This was on the Ascend Mate 7.

I am tempted to get the Mate 20 Pro, but am afraid of the lack of support. I'm debating on the Huawei phone vs the 6T at this point. Choices.. I enjoy wide angle lenses but also enjoy smooth stock android. If only the 6T had a wide angle lens, it wouldn't even be a debate for me.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mwatson:
Same as me, I swore i'd never buy Huawei again because of their poor support. Its a lot of money to drop on a phone that will get dropped. Does anyone know how Android treble is working out for Huawei? Will this alleviate any fears?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xtrocata:
I was complaining to my wife that my lg g7 only got one update since I got it. She, on the other hand, was annoyed because of how many updates she got since she had the p20 pro. Although, her phone was not bought from a carrier.

Or maybe Huawei has a new approach to updates? Considering the fact that they've stated numerous times that they want to become the #1 phone manufacturer, or beat samsung (something like that). And consistent updates would take a lot from samsung's market, knowing how inconsistent they are.

Also, huawei is one of the first to come with pie updates, which gives me confidence in them. "Don't forget about oneplus". Yeah, oneplus only has to worry about softwear, given the fact that their hardwear is borrowed from whatstheirface.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NZtechfreak:
Mate 10 updates have been solid for me here in NZ, no issues with frequency of security updates.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
There is one phone for UK/ EU this time. Put a sim inside, and it will OTA add your networks specific network settings/apps/maybe a splash screen. Factory reset, and everything is removed, including splash screen.

I am hoping this new system also means faster updates in the UK as well.

Will the Pixel get updates quicker and potentially for longer. Probably yes. That's the choice you have to make.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] duraaraa:
Actually, it's even better than you describe. As far as security and OS updates are concerned, there's one phone for non-China and one phone for China. Previously we had software updates separated by branding (Asia/C636, Europe/C432, UK/C782, Middle East/C185) as well as by dual sim or single sim (L09/L29)

As things are with the new models, there is one firmware file for every non-Chinese Mate 20 Pro, and one firmware file for every Chinese Mate 20 Pro. Then there are separate files for branding-related changes which can be updated and packaged separately from the main firmware file.

The result is that one update file is valid for all of the non-Chinese phones, to update the features, security patch, etc.

This is a new thing with EMUI 9, and it will also apply to older phones updated to EMUI 9, like P20 series, Mate 10 series, so on.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ryballs:
My carrier Optus is unfortunately well known for failing to provide regular Huawei updates so hopefully I will eventually be able to debrand my Mate 20 Pro somehow.

Guys,

I get this update;

https://imgur.com/a/nd7Ac3S

https://imgur.com/a/EO0jokj

Im just new / noobie haha at this Huawei. But can you confirm for me if this has an issue or a throttle about the system updates?

I dont see any kind of Branding of the carrier, also dont see an splash screen at the startup of an carrieer.

Because I dont want being restricted by the carrier about the update policy of my carrier.

I just wanna to be sure otherwise I wanna cancel my contract and gonna get an other mate 20 pro without this being branded.

Is this phone now being branded?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
The only way to manually flash updates on Huawei phones is via third party methods. Owners used the Firmware Finder app from the Play Store but that stopped working last year. Funky Huawei is a paid service (I was using it to manually flash updates on my P20 Pro since no OTA updates ever arrived after the first day I set up the phone) but they aren't cheap and they don't support the new Mate phones yet. Huawei seems to make it harder for third party updating with every new itineration of EMU. According to the Funky Huawei thread for this phone (in the XDA news/guides section) they are testing a new update method for this phone that isn't public yet so the earlier e-recovery method they were using must not work.

Huawei makes excellent phones but they are terrible when it comes to software updates. Xiaomi is the best (when you run the Developer ROM which is very stable you normally get weekly updates) and with Pixel and the Essential phones you get very regular monthly updates. If you own a One Plus phone those get monthly updates but since they are primarily bug fixes for issues introduced in earlier updates they don't belong in the same category as other brands.

Despite the praise it frequently receives in the North American tech press there is no such thing as a stable build of Oxygen. It was a very good OS before Nougat but is an ineptly coded disaster now.

I think Huawei phones are good enough to jutify frustration with their erratic software updates but if you are new to Huawei you might want to prepare yourself for that frustration.

I appreciate the explanation mate. Yeah, i'm new to Huawei. Have always been on Samsung (slow ota's) , Htc (close to no ota's) and lately the pocophone & xiaomi mi mix 3 (really easy software flashing experience, frequent updates).

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PaulW21781:
Yeah I made the mistake in installing that update first time round. I've since factory reset and ignored the update for now. I keep swapping between that & a vodafone sim to update. The 3 sim constantly wants to install the 9.0.0.9 customisation update.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cnutt1:
Do you mind me asking did you get the dual SIM m20p off three ?I wonder what would happen if I install a SIM from a different network in my dual SIM version ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PaulW21781:
I did get the Dual SIM version. If both 3 and Voda sims are inserted, even if the 3 sim is disabled, it will always still try and download the H3G update. Removing the 3 SIM & only keeping the Voda SIM in place will then prevent the H3G update trying to download, and what I assume, make the phone look at a different update channel. However, until there is an update available, I can't fully verify that.

I got a free Voda PAYG SIM to do this, as it's purely to get off 3's update channel if it's restricting full ROM updates from being pulled down.

So I've reached out to Huawei about how they roll updates, and got this response back:

I've asked for further clarification on whether or not these updates are also dependant on network operator branding & such too, so will see what they say. As the Customisation updates appear to be seperate from the main firmware updates (for example, H3G 9.0.0.9), then I'm somewhat hesitant to believe that the 146 build update should also come through and be selectable either way. I'll test this though fully when the update rolls out to my handset (I have a Vodafone SIM which I keep in to check for updates with & without the H3G customisation)
