Charging animation? You are replying to the wrong user, bro. I'll address that first.

"Hivision not present, don't know how to side to load it. "

yes I know, that is why I'm here tolerating the replies. I'm asking for help from anyone who knows how to enable the feature, not looking for an iteration of my query in response.

Magazines unlock

Simple yes/no on this one: can you click on it and then customize the feeds.

If no, I won't reply, but that will at least confirm you have the same nothing-doing-dummy-link to missing piece of software that I have.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kaibosh99:
My magazine unlock works. I can slide between covers, I can quick open the calculator or camera or whatever, etc. The thing is, it is totally useless in every way. The only way I can even bring up my lockscreen is to lift up my phone or hit the power button without my face being in front of the screen. If I bring up the lockscreen, I can do various clunky things with it by swiping in various directions or poking at the icons at the bottom. No, I don't see a way to customize it from the settings/themes.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Alphaeagle:
I've not found a way to get hivision either. I saw a YouTube video showing things you can do with the phone before I chose it. There was an icon beside the search field when you pull down. That icon turned on hivision and let you scan qr codes, do real time language translation and identify things to shop online. Neat I thought.

Well it's not there so I feel a bit bummed. I have a qr scanner app and google translate installed so it's not the end of the world but I thought I was getting this built in when I bought the phone.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kaibosh99:
We will 'probably' get Hi-Vision, but it may not be anytime soon. I'm kinda worried about owning a Huawei phone at all given what is going on right now. If the U.S. forces Google to cripple support on Huawei phones we better all get a full refund.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] giz02:
Yes

This is what I'm talking about. I'm with you.

I was interested in the Google Lens like built in functionality, but also tag about the ability to search on screen images using hivision.

Usually posting in or searching through XDA leads to a solution, but from what I'm seein, this is a limitation on Canadian devices, just because I haven't seen any solutions or good work arounds at all. We've got some bastard version of the emui that has features stripped out.

I haven't had a response, or found any information anywhere at to why.

The fix is probably flashing the phone to another region, or returning the phone and picking up a new international version online.

I was really hoping the fix was going to be as easy as installing a couple apks

Hola

So after more than a week or so I finally got the latest update (9.0.0.146). I am on Fido.

I was having a hard time getting the in display fingerprint reader to read my finger consistently. But with the new update, I redid the enrollment and now I have to admit that it works really well... it is still not as fast and reliable as a external scanner but good enough to use.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] giz02:
I got my phone later than you guys so my first exposure was 9.0.0.146 and I've found it pretty good. Glad things improved for you.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I've never had issues with the fingerprint scanner. It works 100% of the time for me.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] hassanmahmood:
Is anyone here on Bell and managed to get .146?

I even put my girlfriend's Telus sim into my phone and all that did was give me a 5mb security update that left me at a slightly newer version of .127.

Kinda tired of waiting.

Hey guys.

On Bell's network with a Mate20 Pro (LYA-LOC) and still stuck on 9.0.0.127.

I read somewhere that there was improvement on security, software and etc. on updates that other carrier got.

Any news on when we should see the updates?

Thanks

If I were you I would probably ask bell. I think everyone else got it.

Anyone here NOT on Robbers /Fido that gets VoLTE and VoWiFi? Drives me nuts that I had to bend over backwards to get it activated on my previous phone (not purchased from carrier) and now I lost it again.

Fwiw, on Videotron VoWiFi allows you to make free local calls when traveling.

If that is the case then I stand corrected... It seems indeed that your dual SIM variant does not carry band 66 LTE. Please refer to the following https://consumer.huawei.com/en/phones/mate20-pro/specs/

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ipse_Tase:
Posted in a VoLTE thread, but I thought this might be of interest here as it pertains to the Canadian L0C variant:

<<

- we all knew the Canadian version L0C is NOT dual-SIM - I finally got a chance to test this. Bummer.

- I put in my phone a Rogers SIM and VoLTE and VoWiFi WERE INSTANTLY ENABLED (I am with VTR). So the software supports it, has to be enabled by the provider via the SIM cfg. Somewhat positive news - as we all thought, Rogers would only allow VoLTE on the phones they sell, the test proved this is not the case. >>

Yes, I have 9.0.0.171(C636E10R3P2) installed for about two weeks now on a LYA-L29 (dual SIM). One of the SIMs is with ROGERS.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ipse_Tase:
[MENTION=8792220]GeorgeNV[/MENTION] Thanks but unfortunately yours is not the "official" L0C sold by providers in Canada, so I assume the update came from other sources.

While on this topic, a few folks have complained about diminished battery life but also claimed improved photo quality.

What's your experience?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] GeorgeNV:
I have another Mate 20 Pro, sold by Rogers. That one is still on 9.0.0.146.

I don't see any degradation in battery life, my phone is still on 2 days charge cycle. The biggest consumer was the HUAWEI Health app, consuming about 50% power of all apps combined, so I uninstalled it. But I did it while on 9.0.0.146.

I can't really comment on the photo improvements. Photo quality was already, and is still amazing... Also, I haven't noticed any scenario in which the camera app didn't open.

One improvement with 9.0.0.171 is that all push notifications are working fine.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ipse_Tase:
Thanks!

I guess all we can do is wait.

More annoyingly.. Themes stopped working as I was able before to ignore the Huawei Mobile Services app update BS but now it's stuck at that point. More frustratingly.. "this app is not available in your country"

The software experience is really frustrating with Huawei. The hardware is amazing but EMUI is such trash. Sometimes I get notifications and the only way to know what they are is to look at my watch. Makes 0 sense. I usually rock my mate 20 pro on weekends I use the note 9 as my daily driver.

Anyone on Videotron here? I called in to push for a VoLTE inclusion and was given a fluffy response that "it is customer request driven"...ie they need to see the demand. So if you are the same boat, open a complaint with the provider.

Frustrating that Rogers is again ahead of the other operators.

Just wanted to chime in and say that Fido / Rogers will be updating our M20P some time in the next few weeks based on experience. Fido is among the best when it comes to providing info on Android device OS upgrades. As per their OS update list the firmware will include January security updates.

Not bad news. Hopefully they release it with the ability to OEM Unlock...

Some good news! According to the Fido update page:

Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Android P 9.0	January SMR + other updates

Staged rollout until February 18

I'm guessing Rogers would have the same timeframe.

I'm on Koodo myself but often noticed the updates would come out around mid month of the month following the security updates so I imagine Telus/Koodo will be updated very soon too.

Can't speak for the other carriers.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PhilMorin:
Koodo, just got it.. Updates to .182 will download it once I'm back on WiFi. L0C model.

Edit: added English screenshots
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PhilMorin:
Other great news! OEM unlock can now be enabled in dev options!

Also, a second face can be added to face unlock. The caption seem to indicate it should be a 2nd version of your own face and not someone else. This would help speed up face unlock. Haven't done it yet but feel like face unlock seems faster and more reliable since the update.

5x option is back in the camera zoom though I haven't played with it yet.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ipse_Tase:
Videotron, got it just now...downloading as I type this. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: Done and voila, VoLTE is here now! Not VoWiFi though.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] PhilMorin:
One annoying but that's now been corrected: when switching between apps, you can now tap one of the apps on the side. You don't have to put that app in the middle to tap it anymore.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 PM ----------

A note about the new super macro mode: it's really just the same as the close up focus you could previously do with the wide angle lens.

Only difference is that in this mode you can choose to zoom to 1x or 3x but those are just digital zooms of the 0.6x. You can confirm by putting a finger in front of the 0.6x lens or by looking at the aperture (it remains F2.2). I can't see any quality improvement between using the super macro mode at 1x or 3x or just using the wide angle close up focus capability and cropping afterwards. Though the super Marco mode will render a "20mp" file even when zoomed in.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EzRush:
I've also noticed that with Nova Launcher you can now use gestures and it's no longer clunky
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Choquette67:

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ipse_Tase:
That's excellent news...been using Nova pro for years and this was one of the frustrations with this phone...it messed it up.

---------- Post added at 18:02 ---------- Previous post was at 17:59 ----------

Well, there is a way to force an upgrade: borrow an LTE SIM from one of your friends on Rogers or Videotron and pop it in the phone and check for updates.

Mind you, you WILL get that carrier's version of the software, so if you have any preinstalled Bell apps that you are sentimentally attached to, they will be gone.

Videotron has NONE on my phone, so I don't care.

EDIT: Someone else here (can't remember the name to give credit) has posted this link to check update staus on Rogers (they seem to be the fastest Canadian carrier to provide updates):

Yeah, that will only be of help to the people who dabble in the dark arts of forced localization - a dangerous game unless you have an unlocked bootloader and enjoy risking potential bricking.

On a curious side note, I tried to make an account on the Huawei site a few days ago and cringed when 'Canada' was NOT on the otherwise very extensive list of mandatory country choices.
