[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It's impossible for for any l09 to use two sim cards - FACT

If you want dual sim purchase from three direct or import and get a l29 variant

If you want to check before purchase on the box it will show 2 imei numbers or type *#06# on the phone and it will show one imei number or two followed by the serial

It's illegal to tamper or amend imei's numbers on a phone and no amount software from anyone could physically change hardware which is whats limiting the l09 phone
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] David Horn:
Those of us with single SIM P20 Pros had no issue converting it to dual sim. No idea where the second IMEI came from. Maybe it just used the first one twice?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
If they are converting to dual sim the phone must have the required hardware in the first place which is two imei's a simple google search can verify this if you don't believe me,

I can't foresee why huawei would include the hardware then disable it via software, the only logical response could be the carrier requesting this however all networks in UK sell dual sim phones in one shape or another if (oneplus or honor devices) so I would say this would rule this out.

However if the carrier wasn't concerned about dual sim due to loss in revenue and being offered a cheaper product this would explain the two variants, if you go to huawei's official site you'll see the difference between bands supported. The second sim slot in l29 matches the sim slot in l09 variant and the first sim slot has additional support for Japan and other band which would cost more money for additional licenses and hardware
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tdw197:
I can easily see the carrier requesting it disabled (certainly mine would - i use all my data from my work sim so they lose a lot of revenue).

I noticed the new Op6t has the second sim software disabled for the T-Mobile in the US too.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I hope your right and have seen it before but 02 are an example of a company which sells unlocked and dual sim Oneplus phones already why bother restricting the mate 20. Carphone warehouse supply unlocked and unbranded phones also but theirs is single sim as well.

I guess we'll have to see what happens
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] panman1964:
with my Motorola G4 if you check the IMEI with no SIM cards installed it comes back blank.

With 1 Sim Card in it returns a single IMEI

Switch the Single SIM to the second slot returns a second IMEI

2 Sims in returns both the IMEIs.

I see no reason why Huawei wouldn't simply be disabling the second SIM on the LA09s via software, saves having two different production runs.

The acid test would be a side to side strip down of the LA09 & LA29 to see what physical differences there are :)

As per a lot of posts, i tried out the Vodafone update theory....

My handset is L09 UK Unlocked (from Sky mobile)

Three SIM card in, check for updates, no update (108)

Swap to Vodafone SIM, immediate update available and downloading (122)

Swapped back the Three SIM card whilst downloading and it continues, subsequently updates to 122 ok

Why on earth does the carrier SIM matter if it's unlocked ?!

I did do screen captures but realised this showed sensitive info!

What firmware versions / device versions do people have? Im in Norway with an unlocked L29 C432 E10R1P16 and have not received the patch yet.

I'm new with Huawei, and not sure what these variants mean, or if they are significant, but it would be interesting to see if those of you who have received are on C432, C636, C461 or other variants.

From the firmware finder it looks like both 636 and 461 may have received. Or.. well.. they do at least have firmware available thats relatively larger in size.

EE UK update

Just got the .122 update on EE UK myself, it has slightly dropped my Antutu score even with performance mode on so if you ain't interested in the new features stick with . 108 update.

The 309 score is with the shipped EE UK .108 update which was the highest score I got, the lowest score in the pics is after . 122 update without performance mode turned on and the middle score is with performance mode turned on.

Hope this helps someone

the Vodafone sim actually works - i just took the sim out of my work phone and popped it in, i instantly picked up .122 (my phone is sim free UK single sim variant, normally use a 3 mobile sim)

i contacted Huawei support and asked why this is:-

Chat Transcript

1:52:07 PM - Server said : Please wait. An operator will be with you shortly.

1:52:13 PM - Mike said : Hello, ooMoo. My name is Mike. How may I help you?

1:52:42 PM - ooMoo said : Hi i was wondering why is huawei prioritising Vodafone for updates over Sim-Free devices?

1:54:17 PM - Mike said : All of the updates are pushed in batches; meaning that they're only pushed to a certain number of phones at a time. The phones are chosen randomly.

1:54:54 PM - Mike said : Huawei does not prioritise certain network providers. It's actually generally better to have an open market phone as far as updates are concerned.

1:55:30 PM - ooMoo said : that is not true though - its well documented online that if you put a vodafone sim in your phone you immediately get the updates, i just tried it, as soon as i put a vodafone sim in the 122 update was instantly available!!

1:58:01 PM - Mike said : It depends on the phone model and the software version. Maybe for some phones some updates are automatically available once the phone's firmware is branded to Vodafone.

1:58:22 PM - Mike said : But overall this shouldn't have an impact on the update process. Definitely not for major Android updates.

1:59:17 PM - ooMoo said : you might want to query that then - as myself and a lot of other people have noticed otherwise. my phone was purchased sim free from Amazon. i normally use a 3 mobile sim

2:01:37 PM - Mike said : I will double check with our development team and see if this behaviour is intended and exactly how far it extends.

2:01:43 PM - ooMoo said : thankyou

2:01:49 PM - ooMoo said : that would be good

2:01:57 PM - Mike said : You're very welcome!

2:02:10 PM - Mike said : If we receive any details, we'll make sure to send you an e-mail.

2:02:16 PM - ooMoo said : if any of you guys happen to read the XDA developers forums you will see a lot of people are frustrated with this.

2:02:29 PM - ooMoo said : thanks for your help

2:02:46 PM - Mike said : My pleasure and thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Aaargh. I knew I should have looked here before installing that. The indication about default apps made my spidey sense tingle, but I foolishly hoped it would bring a change that would allow me to disable that brutally painful HiSearch downward swipe. Sigh. Should have known better, just went and uninstalled all the kiddie games huawei bloated onto my phone.

With all the 1) green screen issue, 2) severe lack of uniformity on gray screen and 3) camera app icon light bleed when switching between modes... It's unconscionable they would get spend their time vomiting bloatware onto the device.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rakesh2002:
Software is new and will need time to mature.. Chromecast stream quality is really bad. Huawei SD team are surely aware of these issues, they can no more afford to stay quiet on these things since they've had rough times due to their past problems. So, we need to wait and watch. just take P20 pro, it's a way better phone than it was during it's release.

I am looking forward for these: freebuds pro, Huawei Smartwatch with Wear OS + battery life matching GT, VR headset, NM card, more dot projector applications like 3D scan, and hopefully new n innovative accessories.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] codified_canon:
Thank you for the perspective. I need to just sit back and wait a bit while the crescendo of awesomeness builds. It's hard to be patient tho :D

Also, yes, yes and yes- agree with all. Especially looking forward to freebuds 2 Pro. And, for me the 15W wireless charger... I know it's technically available but finding it hard to get ahold of for shipping to US.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
I still love my P20 Pro but the only OTA update I ever received was when I set up the phone. There were updates but I had to install them myself via the paid FunkyHuawei service. I don't know if I wasn't receiving any OTAs because I am in the USA or what. I did contact Huawei support but they were vague about what was going on. Hopefully the situation will be better with this phone but I'm willing to go the FunkyHuawei route again for updates if I have to.

The best phone I have ever owned for updates (and I owned a Pixel XL & Nexus 6P) is my Xiaomi MI Mix 2S. Running the developer ROM I normally receive weekly updates and despite the bad rep MIUI has the dev versions of MIUI have been much more stable than any stable build of Oxygen I ever ran on my One Plus 5.

Unfortunately Xiaomi doesn't make any phones as nice as the P20 Pro or Mate 20 Pro so I'm willing to deal with the software update issues.

Based on my observation, green bleed is prominently visible over grey screen only and that too when brightness is reduced. non-uniform spreading of green makes it look ugly perhaps, over white screen apparently it gives a good crystal-like look.
