My HLI-P4550XL Mugen Power 3000mAh Battery for HTC TyTN II (P4550) with battery cover is not exactly a suitable HTC TyTN II replacement.

The replacement back panel cover is missing the aperture for my GPS Antenna Connector.

The HTC TyTN II user manual page 22 clearly shows the back panel GPS Antenna Connector and the instruction “Peel off the rubber cap and connect an external GPS antenna.

From Mugen

Thanks for your kind email regarding the missing hole in your HLI-P4550XL Mugen Power Battery cover. We are sorry to read you are not completely satisfied with our product. We have passed on your message to our R&D department for evaluation and to find a suitable solution for your complaint as soon as possible.

Kindest regards, Bert, Support Department, Mugen Power Batteries Europe

As promised in our previous email, we have discussed your battery cover issue with our R&D Department. We are sorry to inform that we can’t solve that problem for the following reasons:

1. The original jack head of GPS antenna is too short

2. HLI-P4550XL cover is higher than original 6.5mm

3. We haven’t found an after-market antenna to reaching the connector in combination with the extended cover or availability of an extender for the antenna connector yet.

After extensive analysis on the basis of the above reasons, we have no plans on modification of HLI-P4550XL cover in near future. Thanks for your kind understanding. If you have any questions or need more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kindest regards, Bert, Support Department, Mugen Power Batteries Europe

So I take it that an imperfect Battery product is alright then?

I've purchased the 3000mAh battery and like it. Even though it makes the phone heavier and thicker, battery life is considerably better. I was used to have to recharge every other day, but now battery lasts for 4-5 days.

[Sony Xperia XZ3 Guides, News, & Discussion] yyiimm:
I got XZ3 about several days ago and has been struggling with bad battery life.

I was shocked by its battery life which is way worse than my previous device, XZ1.

But I think I found the cause of it.

As soon as I turned off ambient display feature, the battery life improved dramatically.

I'm still in process of 2nd timing of battery life but so far, with this ambient display off, the battery lasts at least 1.5 times more.
[Sony Xperia XZ3 Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
I have it set to Smart Activation and can get a little around 5 hours SoT. With it always on, I got around 4. Might as well try turning it off and seeing if its improved or not.

All these OEM features is known to be battery leechers.

I'm recommending to turn em' off for overall battery life reasons.

Any limitations with the international version on TMOUS? Phone specs don't mention bands 66 or 71
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Nicelysedated:
It does not have band 66 or 71. T-Mobile also hasn't widely rolled out these bands either. In my area I only have access to band 4 and 12. I am waiting to see when I get my phone if it supports wi-fi calling or VoLTE.

WiFi calling is a must have for me. Cell coverage is spotty at work and non existent at home. WiFi calling has solved this for the most part. The mate 20 pro looks so appealing, but I'd hate to find out I couldn't make a phone call.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Nicelysedated:
I will make a thorough review for US compatibility when I receive mine.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] steadly2004:
I believe the phone has an option to turn it on. But I think TMobile is unique in allowing wifi calling, so not sure if it'll work. I "think" I saw it on an EMUI 9 feature walkthrough.

Please do! And link it here when you get a chance. Thanks!

Huawei Canada is now listing a model LYA-L0C which does have band 66, but not 71. Not sure when they are shipping.

I have the Asian version (sold for Hong Kong, Australia and Philippines) of the Huawei Mate 10. Use it on Tmobile in US. I could never get wifi calling or VOIP to work although Tmobile supports this. Maybe an edit to build.prop could fix this but I decided not to root phone. Interesting to see if same for Mate 20 pro.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hi Nicely!

I assume by now you've received your Mate 20 Pro for use on T-Mobile's network as it's been 2 1/2 weeks since your last post in here. I too have T-Mobile.

Just got the OnePlus 6T after seeing how great that phone is, though the camera isn't as good as Huawei's, even with the modded GCam options out there.

So I'm DYING to know lol......................were you able to successfully enable or activate VoLTE on T-Mobile's network? I would like to read your thorough review, but right now, I just want to know about the VoLTE thing. Wi-Fi Calling too, but that is NOT a deal breaker like not having VoLTE is. Please just let me know. If you have screenshots of the option in Settings, or even more importantly, of a call where 4G LTE stays in place (and doesn't revert back to 4G or 3G) during the duration of the call, that would be awesome too.

Also, did you get the Single or Dual SIM version??

This is always a pain in the a$$ thing I have to research when recently buying unlocked phones for use on T-Mobile's network. I wish it wasn't like this, but whatever. lol

Thank you!!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ONikku:
I'm curious to know about the EU/UK and CA versions, too.

Regarding the Chinese variant (mine is LYA-AL00) on TMO US, I haven't been able to see the options for VoLTE or VoWIFI. Somebody on a European network with this version had the option, however. I guess TMO just seems to be special in that regard?

I'm at .137 as of last night.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Ok so you live in the U.S. AND have T-Mobile. Cool!

AL00?? I have only seen the L09 and L29 versions. Which version do YOU have???

.137??
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ONikku:
Firmware update is .137

AL00 is one of the models sold and warranted in China. Mine is dual SIM, 8GB/128GB.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Oh ok. I checked and that one doesn't have Band 12. Only 2 & 4. In my area (Chicagoland) I need Bands 2, 4, and 12, and 71 is about to get deployed in the next few mos. However, I think I can live without it IF VoLTE is found to work on T-Mo for it like it was for the P20 Pro.

Thanks!!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] ONikku:
It should support band 12? The seller I bought it from, PhoneDB and FrequencyCheck all list band 12.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Oh, my bad! I didn't scroll down far enough to the LTE section. Yes it does!! :good:

But of course, on T-Mobile, and the reason why it's a big deal to me, is that T-Mobile WON'T let you access its Band 12 radio band UNLESS the phone is certified with T-Mo for VoLTE. But I'm finding more and more exceptions to this. The OnePlus 5 for example that my dad has shows VoLTE as an option, the brand new Sony Xperia XZ3 I just bought (and returned) surprisingly had it, and the P20 Pro has it too. None of them have Band 71 though, which annoys me lol, b/c my area is about to get it soon. But whatever. I'm finding also that having the perfect phone just isn't an option for me. lol
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Nicelysedated:
VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling are a no-go. I bought a single sim version which does have the slot for the NM card also.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hey Nicely,

Thanks for responding back so quickly!

Ok. That sux!! lol But ok. I guess I'm keeping my OnePlus 6T then. Awesome phone for sure, but I know the camera on the Mate 20 Pro would outdo it, even with me using the GCam mod from XDA devs on it.

Ok how about anyone who owns the DUAL SIM L29 version?? If you have T-Mobile, does VoLTE work?? Sometimes different models work I think, so hopefully someone reading this has one and can confirm.

If not, I will wait for the P30 Pro and HOPEFULLY that does (and Band 71 wouldn't hurt either Huawei!! lol) too.

Again, thanks so much. At least now I know I'm not missing out since VoLTE is deal breaker for me personally.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Pr20:
Sorry for my ignorance but can I ask why no VoLTE is a deal breaker?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Nicelysedated:
What network info app tells me.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Hmm ok.

To be sure, I'd prob make a call and see if it stayed in 4G LTE or not. That's the BEST way to know for sure really. Up to you. That app could just be wrong too.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Nicelysedated:
Just checked. Drops LTE as soon as call is made and LTE comes back as soon as call is over.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] leo72793:
while true, data stays active. i noticed that too. My 10 pro did VOLTE no problem.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
F!! Ok now it's official............NO VoLTE! :crying: lol

Come on Dual SIM!!!!!!!!!! lol Someone please!!

I dunno, maybe I am being too picky about the VoLTE thing? I just hate not having great reception, esp when going into the city. And it not having Band 71 sux too. What is with these companies? Same thing with Sony too. New XZ3 had VoLTE, but no Band 71.

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 AM ----------

No, no problem at all man. Here's why.......................

If you have T-Mobile, you can't access their Band 12 (700 MHz) spectrum......... which is a newer radio band they offer...............it has twice the range of the standard (higher bandwidth) radio bands and is FOUR times more capable of penetrating through buildings and walls...............They're about to deploy a similar one called Band 71 (600 MHz) as well, and the Huaweis don't currently have that. But I'm willing to forego that one, but not Band 12 too. VoLTE also makes calls connect faster, and clearer connections too.

This Mate 20 Pro has me questioning that though. lol One thing I hate though is when I'm with other ppl that have great reception and I don't. lol That really irks me. And it's more likely on an unlocked phone too I've noticed, even if it has the same bands, sometimes the locked carrier phone in same room have better reception. Crazy, I know.

Hopefully someone has the Mate 20 Pro Dual SIM L29 model and says they get T-Mo VoLTE.

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 AM ----------

Yeah the P10 Pro, I think Mate 10 Pro, and P20 Pro all have VoLTE, confirmed. The P20 Pro I almost bought a week ago but it's now 6 mos old and I figured I'd get the 6T now cuz so cheap (esp with $300 trade-in deal through T-Mobile), put GCam mod on it, and then in 6 mos get the P30 Pro or else Sony Xperia XZ3/XZ4 Premium. We'll see.

Well I just got it yesterday, so I'll see.

I agree to a point, but I still like Sony over Samsung and even Apple, only b/c I feel like for what they charge (esp Apple), they should be #1 for camera, not Huawei.

These are some pics I took yesterday and today on 6T with GCam mod. I think they look nice, but I'm sure the Mate 20 Pro would be a couple notches even better. Night ones were taken in Night Mode. Day ones were HDR+ Enhanced (top HDR mode in GCam).

You have an interesting way of expressing your thoughts leo! lol

Yeah new Apple XS Max is rated at 79 hours per GSM Arena, which I normally trust over all else. And $1500? I dunno. I hope that's wrong cuz one of my best friends has it, but damn. lol

Yeah you are limited with Apple, though it does tend to work better overall vs. Android, esp on the apps.

I'm just bummed that I can't even get VoLTE (and therefore Band 12) with at least the Single SIM Mate 20 Pro. The P20 Pro at least had THAT!

Ok yeah, don't see it there.

I guess the LOCKED 2018 T-Mobile phones don't even show VoLTE in the settings anymore. It's just "baked in" now. Have to make a call to confirm you have it. (FYI to all)

I can’t figure out why such an expensive high end smartphone would be missing two important LTE Bands for US market.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Yeah man, me too. Such a bummer!

I actually BOUGHT the Mate 20 Pro off Amazon last Fall, only to cancel the order an hour later when I found that my initial info was wrong and it DIDN'T have T-Mobile VoLTE after all. Luckily I put in the request early enough that it went through before shipping out. lol

I really hope this whole ban nonsense goes away. I know they aren't the most ethical company, but the same could be said about Samsung and Apple. IF the U.S. govt has REAL proof of espionage etc., then I think they should release it to the public, or else lift the ban. Getting sick of JUST hearing accusations and nothing else. I know other countries are banning them too, but not all are, and I still haven't seen their proof made public either. Until that happens, I don't see their phones having all the right bands and/or T-Mo VoLTE.

For now I've got the T-Mo OnePlus 6T, but am looking forward to upgrading to the Sony Xperia 1 when it comes out in May. Hopefully it doesn't fall short!! The XZ3 last Fall was the FIRST Xperia flagship (U.S. version only) to have T-Mo VoLTE, which was great! But the camera was 2 steps back from the previous and superior (camera-wise at least) Xperia XZ2 Premium, so I returned that one after 2 weeks. But the 1 is much better in several ways including 3 lenses vs. 1 and OIS, and other additions as well that Sony Mobile was holding out on in the past. If not, then maybe the OP 7 or else the next Nokia phone (sequel to the current 9 Pureview).
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] desiregeek:
A bit odd since One Plus 6T has those bands. They are pretty much under the same ownership. The same chipsets support band 66 and 71. Huawei does not require special permission to support those 2 LTE bands
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
Yeah well, OnePlus is aggressively trying to make a name for itself here. They have the initiative and drive to SUCCEED, which is what Sony Mobile needs as well. It's not odd really b/c they know and understand how important these things (radio bands) are, whether consumers buying their phones know it or not! The Xperia 1 will have all the important T-Mo bands (2, 4, 12, and 6) except 71, but yeah Huawei doesn't even have 12 which is said.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] steadly2004:
Just a theory. But maybe releasing the info they have would reveal their own spying and how they got the info. So they can't. Maybe.....
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] RockStar2005:
That's actually a really good theory! lol Unfortunately, just like in a courtroom, if you can't backup your claims with tangible evidence, then ain't no jury gonna buy it. I'm certainly not. IF Huawei starts to somehow offer ALL the bands I need for T-Mo AND T-Mo VoLTE (T-Mo VoLTE is a MUST IMO), I will immediately reconsider them once again. I just don't think it's gonna happen though, but hopefully I'm wrong.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] udaredme:
