Mine arrived at 2pm yesterday LYA-L09, build number 9.0.0.108(C432E10R1P16) had my Three Sim in and still no update available. Twilight from argos
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danielson00:
Yes.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mancuk29:
Hope I won't have any issues cos mine was posted to a local post office so that address shows .. have uploaded them my original email from very which shows the order date but also have the dispatch slip which also shows the original date if need be ..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
No, it asks you for a shipping address for your free items
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] storvay:
I think the claim period is from 8th November to 8th December, IIRC?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
claim opened yesterday
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] storvay:
I stand corrected, thanks.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mancuk29:
I submitted mine today also
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] storvay:
Just checked the T&C's from Vodafone, EE and Amazon. The date range I gave is in them all. Knew I didn't dream up those random dates!

Good to know you can claim straight away though!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mancuk29:
Loads of conflicting info this is from the Huawei website

Shows suppliers I got mine from very and it's shown so I applied
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EggZenBeanz:
I've sent mine back. Beautiful and smooth piece of hardware let down by emui. The face unlock worked yesterday, but now when I unlock it still makes me swipe up to continue, despite settings to the contrary. Notifications on lock screen are sporadic. There's just too many snags and make dos considering there's no bootloader unlock, nevermind root. Back to my pixel 2. Shame as its a fantastic phone, really awesome bit of kit. Have fun guys, I'm out
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
Have to say i havent seen any of those issues but then again my last 3 phones have been huawei so I am used to it. I use nova launcher so not really using emui as such.

---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

No the dates are all the same. You can submit the claim from yesterday but they wont look at it til 14 days have passed which will be the 8th as you quoted.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bigup7:
It’s 14 days as they don’t want you to buy the phone, claim then return the phone.

Most shops allow 14 days cooling off period, Amazon is 30 days so technically you could get away with it if you wanted.

On another note, I’m finding WiFi calling on EE quite irratic. Seems to bounce off and on every now and again.

How do we tell Huawei of these bugs?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vwite:
I'm not sure if they can disqualify after "approval" but before shipping it does say approval on 14 days but then it would take another extra 30 days to get it
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
wifi calling isnt a bug. On the mate 10 pro it was on all the time. With the mate 20 pro it only comes on when gsm signal gets below a certain level
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bigup7:
Ahh. Good to know mate. I’ve always had phones that are always on WiFi calling (EE) (my Note 9 did this)

Thanks.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
Yeah, I am on wifi calling downstairs but when I go upstairs it changes to GSM
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
How do you know? Is there an icon that shows Wi-Fi calling?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
yes, it says "wifi" :D
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bigup7:
Actually says VoWIFI in the top left :)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] skoobee:
Yes you are correct. My aging eyes couldn't see that
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Any chance you can grab a screenshot and post it? Doubt wifi calling will work on t-mobile but it just might.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] huxley309:
Odd, turned off the swipe up thing and it's been fine since.

LYA-L29 from Three, and all is working well, face unlock is scary fast.

So got mine from 3 network, as per the advice on this thread, I put a Tesco(O²) sim in before the first power on. Everything fine, today I put in my actual 3 contract sim as well & it popped up an update.

Now my phone has a bloody 3 network logo splash screen on start up.

Not impressed. The about screen also states "custom firmware" I hope this doesn't **** up the OTA getting to me. What is the latest version?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bigup7:
I’ve read if you factory reset your phone it will go
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
As mentioned above and elsewhere on other threads, the carrier stuff is just a layer on top of the standard base firmware, so if you factory reset, it removes the carrier layer including boot logo etc..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Robotchicken2018:
Has anyone experienced issues with no notifications showing up in the status bar? new texts / whatsapp messages / missed calls etc. I cannot find how to fix this but my status bar is empty even when ive missed calls or messages.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz_2000:
Yes, loads of bugs unfortunately. This is one of them.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] addicted2phones:
I know exactly what your going through. I also contemplated this but I decided to give this a good weekend to fully have a verdict.

So far I'm a lot happy with it, the battery life is really good and I'm slowly getting used to EMUI, even though it needs a firmware update to iron out some bugs.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
There is no way they can't honor the free watch and charger promo, it;s been advertised everywhere, at no point did they say first come first serve. imho they are waiting on the watch cause the software isn't right otherwise it would of already been in the box
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
In the fine print it does say while supplies last.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
lets be honest here that's just their get outta jail free card they want this watch being used. More people using it means more recommendations which is more sales, they knew how many phones they have sent to uk so know how many watches they need..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Xalies:
Wish we got the watch here in Aus but our preorder bonus is both the wireless earbuds and wireless charger
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz_2000:
That sounds like a good deal. Heard the watch isn't great. It's not wear os, so limited apps.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Michaelflat1:
Huawei will try not to, as if they run out of watches it will be a PR disaster. They can replace the promo with an equal to, or higher value however, in the fineprint. You won't lose anything.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] David Horn:
DPD have lost mine. When I say lost I assume it's now being enjoyed by one of their drivers.

Have to wait a couple of weeks for EE to decide what to do next. Annoying as there's now a two week wait for the Twilight already. They did say that they'd honour the pre-order gifts though.

I assume the 14 day cooling off on new contracts is from receipt of the phone, as the new 60GB plan is already active on my current sim.

When it comes is it worth setting up without a sim in it to get the newest update?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Phil750123:
could be a good thing if you dont mind waiting, gives them times to iron out some of the little issues!

Yer the 14 day is from receipt of phone (start of contract date)

Went to Carphone Warehouse... Gorgeous looking device, pre-ordered on amazon the twilight colour :D

Coming from pixel 2 xl
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Cahenvels:
Got my Mate 20 Pro in black today (Spain), it's literally replacing my Note 9 8gb 512gb (exy). I thought the note 9 would blow me away in performance and that I could just settle for that device for the upcoming years but i've lost faith in sammy's ui. It's bulky, slow and full of bloat. Which I know you can disable but if I buy something I want to be able to enjoy the device, with inhouse bloat included.

In my first hour with this device, I already love the in display finger print sensor which is as usual with Huawei, is lightning fast and yet has to fail on me, it's reading every print spot on all the time.

Faceunlock is just as fast, I switched to gesture mode which is very...but very similar to the iphone X/Xs, so if you're coming from those 2 devices you will feel at home.

Regarding android pay, I was able to setup my card but my bank doesn't allow me to use 3rd party pay apps and I have to use their own app. So I can only vouch for the setup working with google pay, not the paying itself.

My own bank's app does work without any issues. I will be posting images once the weather gets a bit better, it's been rainy all day.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
Awesome to hear , welcome aboard man, aww so lucky to get it right away, we need to wait a week, let us know how it is few days later, can u check always on display for me please.. does it show WhatsApp etc?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] it4repair:
I spoke to Huwei customer service today and asked about Mate 20 Pro 8GB 256GB and was told it is on the list as dual sim so L29. I am tempted to upgrade now and get a free watch, but on the other hand I know that 8GB would be slightly more responsive and faster in a long term like few months...

Really not sure what to do and whenever L29 with 256GB storage and 8GB memory would reach UK contract retailers at all ???
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Cahenvels:
I never use AOD on my devices but turned it on to be able to answer your question. Sadly, notifications did not show on the current version that emui has. I'm saying this cause they could eventually add it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralfs:
Three UK lists it now as dual SIM. So officially we can get the dual Sim version and they have £49 per month on the all you can eat data plan.

[MENTION=9503301]Cahenvels[/MENTION]

Can you please check if last pass or 1password work with the fingerprint? Bank logins as well please?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz_2000:
Just pre ordered mine from three. Need to goto three to get dual SIM variant. Did same for p20 pro.

As soon as claim verified for Huawei promo, I'll cancel the three contract and you get a 20% discount to pay off contract.

So if I've done my maths correctly. I will pay the following...

1 X £49 up front cost

1 X £42 for month 1

23 X £42 to pay remainder of contract term = £966 - 20% = £772.80

Total paid. £863.80
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] it4repair:
Could you post a link to a dual sim Mate 20 Pro?

What do you think guys - better to grab a bonus bundle or wait and get 8GB version? Will it be available in UK on monthly plans at all?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz_2000:
Here you go...

http://www.three.co.uk/huawei/mate-20-pro?memory=128&colour=Black

I believe the 8gb version is in the RS Porsche version likely to be double the price.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vwite:
How fluid are the gestures? Are you using stock launcher?

Also, how does the screen compare with the Note 9? Would you say it is at the exact same level or do you like one better than the other one? I just found out that the display supplier is chinese company "BOE" instead of samsung or LG, like you I am losing faith on samsung UI, I came to the Note 9 from a OnePlus 6 and OP6 was waaay smoother and faster but I really really love the screens samsung uses on their flagships.

What about the speakers are they any better on either the note 9 or mate 20 pro? Is there anything you'll miss from the note 9?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] RCJ89:
The only thing I want to know is what the sound quality in earphones is like, is it loud?

As the p20 and p20 pro had poor volume but the mate 10 and mate 10 pro had great volume.

I played with the phone today as my local carphone warehouse but due to the phone not having a 3.5mm I couldn't test the sound as it was connected to a security device in the USB port. Once I get to know whether the sound is loud or not then I will decide whether to pre order or not or go for the note 9.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Cahenvels:
Finger print sensor works like any 'external' sensor.

Instead you get a forced onscreen ''notification'' that an app is requesting the fingerprint, it simply fades the app that requires you to id yourself. Both password apps that you asked were supported.

I have added an image of what happens when my bank's app requests a finger ID

[IMG="screenshot"]https://i.imgur.com/KXjD27g.jpg[/IMG]
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralfs:
Thanks!

So you would say that this statement is completely wrong:

It’s not all good news, though. Due to the way the in-display sensor works, it’s not currently recognised by apps that would previously be unlocked by a typical fingerprint sensor. Banking apps, for example, will just default to asking you for your pin-code.

Do you have a link for the 20%?

It seems that way that 3 will be loosing money and it seems a bit strange...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] misiokicio:
U dont need a link... When u cancel and pay contract in full... Three will discount it by 20 percent

And in regards to fingerprint .. give it some time, Google approved it that's the important bit
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daz_2000:
See below, as mentioned I did this for the p20 pro and worked fine, they were a little confused when I immediately wanted to cancel but got there in the end and paid off fine

On Three, you’ll pay a early termination fee equal to the remaining monthly charges for the minimum term of your contract, less a variable discount which is currently 20%. This is detailed on page 24 of Three’s Pay Monthly price guide:

Cancellation Fee

Lump sum equivalent to the total of the Monthly Charges remaining during the Minimum Term of your agreement less a variable discount, currently 20%. We reserve the right to vary the amount of the percentage discount from time to time.

Checked out a M20P in O2 today, display model was L29. Staff could not confirm it would be L29 I get shipped when they are released but the chap could not think of a reason why it would not be since the phone will be coming unlocked, so using different / dual SIM should not matter to them.. Here's hoping this is correct..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cd993:
This sounds crazily appealing!

So potentially can get the device, the watch and charger for £863.80.....

Hmmm tempting!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ralfs:
You can get it from Amazon for £30 more and don't go through the trouble.

you will be getting though the single sim version though. Three sells the Dual SIM one.

Also I don't see why I shouldn't be keeping the contract? You get unlimited texts + data for £12.5/month (if you subtract the £900 value of phone). I don't know about network coverage / services though as I was traditionally Vodafone customer. My wife has O2 and has no issues though...

My VF contact is ending next month anyway...

If it turns up I'll set it up without a sim and see what happens

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jazzsalt:
The C432 model for the Mate 20 Pro is ubiquitous this time - there is no UK Unlocked version. Apparently (according to other XDA threads), Huawei have simplified things so there is a Chinese model and an international model ...

It wasnt very obvious at first but yeah now even in daylight it is very obvoius and on any colour background except from total black.

You can see it easier in the first few days though when using the phone at night and on the lowest brightness - if you drag down the notification bar and when it makes the rest of teh screen darker it makes it more obvious around the sides and top/bottom
