[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] sam213:
Hi

Your post is really interesting.. I think you used 3 of the most important smartphone based on Android OS.

Sincerely.. Actually I have in my hand the Samsung galaxy note 8...i bought it before buy for my job an iPad with the apple pencil.. After that.. I forgot to use the spen.. Personally.. Too little the screen to be used, for example, to take note during a meeting... This is my personal feedback.

So, for this reason I'm not sure to replace now my note with the note 9.. The most important feature, the S pen, is only an option for me... S9 plus? Yes.. But some hardware parts are already, older than a note 9 hardware set...

Also, after 8 years with only Samsung devices I want try something of different.. And now I think that with this mate 20 pro, maybe I found what I need... High performance, wireless charge, amazing camera, pc mode (maybe can be a interesting features if can be used without any extra hardware such Samsung dex, but also the note 9 now can be used without it).. Nice design...

So, actually I think this will be my next smartphone... I'm. 90% sure...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] vwite:
I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I am 90% sure as well, only thing I just found out I'd miss that I first thought I wouldn't is always on display. Mate 20 Pro has it but it is just the clock and battery, no third party notifications. So if it doesn't show notification I think I'll just turn off AOD to save battery, however, if it doesn't have the RGB LED either, I think I'd miss something to check notifications at a glance
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] sam213:
Yes is true but also in this case for my opinion it depend of the normal use of everyone's...

For a example.. Personally I deactivate on my note 8 the always on function because I use for my job and personal use the smartphone really every moment, and switch on the screen to check he notification, is not a problem for me..

The battery life is another important point for me... As I explained before, I abuse of my smartphone usually.. Mail.. WhatsApp, web surfing and a lot of special application such autocad, notes... The only apps that I don't use are the games...

Anyway, I noticed that after some months Samsung device became to have a battery drain.. In some case I solved using avast antivirus app, because his app kill some background process, that wasn't not stopped using the software integrated in Samsung device.

I know that now we have a bigger batteryin both devices, but I want try another company and check if the battery drain can be not a problem anymore.. Also.. I want try the ai support of huawei that promise to solve the problem of the bad performance after day after day...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] misiokicio:
Same here man, my pixel 2 xl aod is brilliant, and dunno how i will cope with mate 20 pro aod... Like why is soo hard for them to implement this? Still i pulled the trigger and pre ordered it, will keep pixel for a week after just in csse and see if get get used to it not seeing notifications on the aod...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] popetillox:
For me is an absolutely yes to your question I never had anything like this Mate 20 Pro it is even better than P20 Pro! Wireless charging, amazing screen amazing battery life fast graphics and processor its all full of future proof! And aesthetically is gorgeous!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] stah17:
The phone seems to be gorgeous, but EMUI is horrible...

No 3rd party notifications for AOD and no expandable lockscreen notifications (no whatsapp quick reply or mail delete)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] easycure1974:
Feel the same, gorgeous hardware and not so gorgeous software. Had the P20 Pro and loved everything but the software. Will at least try the Mate 20 Pro and see if it is a keeper or not
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] stah17:
I also tried the P20 Pro and gave it back because of that damn EMUI... I hoped that they would fix the expandable LS and AOD but nothing happened. That's why I won't buy any phone from Huawei.

Seems like Huawei does not think that these are bugs....

What do they think are the advantages of taking these features out? I don't get it :(
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] vwite:
So as an update to my first post, here's a few more cons of the Mate 20 Pro (some only apply in the US)

*Everyone seems to dislike EMUI

*Problems with third party lunchers

*Worse signal in the US, no wifi calling and no LTE bands 66 and 71 (T-Mobile)

*Pissible spying

*When using the hiding notch option the screen does look noticeable smaller vs Note 9 (picture attached) I'm not sure if the downgrade in display size would bother me

In this thread everyone seems to be against the Mate 20 pro (vs Note 9)

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/note-9-vs-huawei-mate-20-t3855360

Damn, I'm sill laying to the side of getting the 20 Pro but this just made the decision harder
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Zanr Zij:
Today I tested Mate 20 Pro:

- High quality hardwares: very good build quality, Oled screen look better than Note 9 ( better white balance, higher brightness ) ...

- Seem very good battery life, better than Note 9 and Xs Max

- I don't like EMIUI too: not really modern ( clean and clear ), some micro stutter lags

- Portrait Backlighting: bad quality compare to Note 9 especially compare yo Xs Max
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] vwite:
Awesome thank you so much for the feedback! I was really concerned about screen colors and brightness feeling as a downgrade from Note 9

Would you say the micro stutters are worse than in Note 9? It always drop frames when opening recent apps menu, switching apps, unlocking animation, adjusting split screen, operating split screen both apps start to lag, opening swiftkey keyboard, especially on google translate app I'm not sure why but it lags really bad (relatively for a $1000+ phone) like 4-5 seconds to open swiftkey keyboard after tapping on text box. I know EMUI is no OxygenOS but I was hoping at least some improvement from Note 9. Just as Note 9 is not perfect but improvement from Note is very welcome.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] vwite:
You have the BOE display, right? I am really really reaaaally dissapointed with the LG display, it's almost a deal breaker I am still thinking about it depends if I find enough workarounds for other problems.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Daniel Hjelvik:
What i like about the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is:

The design

The screen

The performance

The battery life

The face unlock

The onscreen fingerprint reader

The camera

Emui is alright.

Huawei could do better with:

Faster updates. (I'm on 108 and other people are on 122 and even 128? firmwares). More customization options such as custom font, making the notification screen black and or transparent (same with quick settings, it's black but no transparent), removing certain statusbar icons. Giving us the option to completely remove all bloatware that can be installed trough the Google Play Store.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] TheMorpheus:
I'm pretty happy with my unit with Malaysk rom and I'm tring to fix it the little things that doesen't work like it should.

Follwoing this thread https://goo.gl/zcWdiV I was wondering if there is an intent that can we use in tasker to lower the volume while we using the reverse. I know that there is a setting for it but it doesen't work for me.

We need an intent when the radar opens to trigger a task in tasker, any ideas??

I am a web programmer on the norm and would like to take a stab at creating something for myself on WM.. How would I find out what registry key(s) are modified when I switch my WM6 phone (HTC Touch) from "Network" to "Roaming" modes?

This will assist me greatly as I must manually switch this option on a daily basis... Would like to make it much easier and a 1 click feature.

Any help finding the necessary registry key(s) is greatly appreciated.

:cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] djlenoir:
Funny you should ask... dcd just provided very good instructions on how to do this in another thread. For your convenience I have copied them below:

(dcd) Let me explain how I accomplish this:

1. Export entire PPC registry (I use resco)

2. Make desired change(s)

3. Export entire PPC registry

4. Compare before and after registry exports on my PC (i use WinMerge)

5. Copy desired registry keys/values to .reg/.rgu

Enjoy! Oh, and if it is something "cool" you are making then share with the community. :p

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Nina7777:
Last week the Sony Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ2 Compact got their Android Pie serving and today the company announced that it's about to add more phones to the list. A trio of former flagships will receive Pie starting October 26 - the Xperia XZ Premium, the Xperia XZ1, and the Xperia XZ1 Compact. Soon Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium will get to join the fun.

Sony said the Xperia XA2, the Xperia XA2 Ultra, and the Xperia XA2 Plus are also bound to receive Android 9 Pie, but owners of the mid-range devices have to wait until March 4, 2019. Until then we are likely to see Xperia XA3 series being announced at CES in Las Vegas or at MWC in Barcelona with the latest Android OS out of the box.

Singapore ETA

This is not official but from my own observations and XperiCheck, Singapore users should get Android 9 (Pie) on around 9 November (2 weeks from initial release).

May be the October security as the download is 247MB.

Tomorrow is Pie time ?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] grifovunque:
No, the 47.1.A.16.20 is a September security patch....

You have the update shifted by one month...

Have you a branded phone?

Nope unbranded

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] johnnysrodriguez:
Sounds like a problem from that app that you're using instead of this Android Pie update. App developers usually update codes to comply with certain android version compatibility

Probably the wrong thing to ask here.. lol but let's see if this works.. A) Where did you get your device from.. Ie Country.. B) Where are you currently located?

Do you have to unlock your bootloader to flash std firmware?

Try new flasher

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Flashed the virgin mobile UK firmware earlier and was very pleased

New features

Etc.

But the best thing is

DRM keys are not needed

I flashed the firmware and the camera worked instantly

The new app is also great
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] alexdc12:
When using newflasher what files do I need to exclude to make sure nothing gets wiped?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mautaku:
I have 9.0 since this morning but in xpericheck it still does not come out as if it were updated, comparing it with the screenshot that you showed
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Brun0ls:
No DRM keys needed? Does this means the future custom roms will not suffer from not working camera?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] Mike060:
Hopefully yes. I think any custom ROMs that use the android 9 OEM image should work just fine

I realised with DRM fix the camera worked but the quality wasn't great but now the drm keys are not needed I don't have that problem

This could help custom ROMs in the future and it is a step in the right direction

May be Sony has given them sources earlier to let them adapt it...

But strange to not push to unbranded phone in //

I've been in France and Belgium lately and my unbranded g8341 did not get the update either

All is good for me with Pie so I notice just only one bug: with stock themes the icons on the navbar are not centered. Anyone have this ? A suggestion to fix this ? I tryed the same mode. It fix this just for a moment and the bug come back. With others themes from Playstore no problem. I like stock icons and now white navbar.

I cannot understand their deployment policies...

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] OliverB95:
Sure, people are not very patient, but it has been a very strange roll-out, not just in terms of speed.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisftlse:
No more to say... All is in you last word...

Discussion thread is for that no? Discussing...

Nevertheless and the real discussion is around the Sony deployment phasing which (from my point of view) strange as Branded are receiving before unbranded in some countries.

I could not understand this as from my knowledge (surely less than yours) a stock image on a stock hardware is basically more quick and easy than a Custom Image (modified by operator).

That's all I wanted to point out.

And as I said previously Patience is a Vertue.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] dcrin3:

Forget waiting, I would highly recommend skipping this update and waiting for December update. This food's not fully cooked yet.
