[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
On rogers. Hopefully we get the update in 12 days
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
yes, hauwei support said this so let's wait.

still no update on bell on my end!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
But they don't control the rollout. The service providors do.

If it were up to them we wouldve gotten it December like everyone else in the world
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
No, Huawei controls it, but the providers need to approve the update before release to end users.

If there are no updates coming to Bell phones, is because probably Bell did not approve the update yet. I would not put to much trust on what Bell says ...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
but hold on, someone on bell here got it dec so that's' not it. and Huawei support confirms that bell is rolling out the update right now but it's just slow. I don't know what's true anymore.

still no update on bell.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ice_n_fyre:
I am getting very annoyed with this whole update scenario. Switched my wife over to Android after being on Apple since the iPhone 5. Got 2 P20 Pro's through bell on Dec 16th, she has been on 9.0 since January 3rd. I have been mashing the check for updates button since then and still no update for me! Same phones, purchased at the same kiosk, on the same day!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
It's no telling when we will get the update. The roll out dates always been pushed back everytime we get near it. It's just hard to tell who's telling the truth and who's lying. Everyone is getting it in batches.

With rogers and still nothing.

Number one service provider in Canada.... So they say. And still they can't give us exact dates for updates? Instead they keep pushing it away from us week by week.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
yes, so bell is getting the update, everyone, it's just been released in batches. this confirms what hauwei support told me. it's true!!!!!! I'll wait a bit longer seeing it's actually coming now.

still nothing this morning for my p20 pro clt-lo4 on bell!!!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shenyydjm:
No update on virgin mobile. So frustrated
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gstyle_1:
no update yet

On Bell as well, no update for P20 Pro, my wife's P20 got it 2 weeks ago. I miss my nexus 6P!!!! waiting this long is Ridiculous. I'm Still rocking the Sept security update.... :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
I know exactly what you mean. I'm a hair widths away from pulling my Bell sim out and putting it into my 6P. Funny how an "unsupported/obsolete" device (6P) is still rocking up to date firmware and yet this "great" flagship is ridiculously lagging behind. And this is what happens to us users when manufacturers decide to stop unlocking bootloaders. Not too many are willing to pay to unlock and so development will never see the light of day.

Actually did pop the sim into my 6P for a weekend (reliving great times). Once I put it back into my P20 Pro I noticed that I had lost VoLTE service. Had to call Bell support to get them to turn it back on. Guess the 6P force disables VoLTE on Bell network since it was never supported.

Also still rockin' Sept security update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gstyle_1:
Speaking fo unlocking the boot loader ..any recommendations as to who to use?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ProAc_Fan:
Feb 6th still no bloody update for me from Fido. I've *****ed at Fido and Huawei with zero results. I know people who've had this update since before Xmas. Apple can roll out an update for tens of millions of devices on the same f'in day. This staggered roll out is utter BS.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
I know there's few out there. Even seen one site as low as $4 (US). Although looks like that site wants to do the unlocking for you cause they want you to have access to a Windows box with Team Viewer installed (fishy). No thanks... Rather do it myself.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
Same as you. Still rocking the sept update. I'm so sick of this slow update!!!!

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

I knew how you feel. I'm in the same boat but on bell. Where the hell is it hauwei???
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Is it just me or did rogers change their eta for Android pie update to February 18 instead of February 15?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
i'm not with rongers idk but still no update on bell.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
No, they separated the release dates for the P20 and the P20 Pro. It's been 02/18 for a week or two now. So based on their sporadic batch releasing I should see the update the week of 02/25 [emoji851]

Unfortunate, as I like the phone but am less than impressed with Huawei - or Huawei and Rogers together. Once the contract is up - will be stepping away from Huawei
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Oh weird.

Didn't notice. Haven't been checking until today because I know they going to change it again when it's the 18th.

I just hope I get the android q update when it comes out or months after as huawei does best. Because I'm trying to make this phone last a year as I'm trying to break my own record of holding on to a single phone ?

Cause usually I get a new phone once the new model comes out. Trying to test my phone managing skills lol
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] grantdb:
I just purchased my P20 pro on Sunday from Telus and had the update same day.

Cheers!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Damn. Lucky
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Ha, was going to say something rude but hell it's not your fault. Congrats on the new up to date phone - welcome to the forum

Cheers !
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
OMG. i switched my sin card to a telus card and got the android 9 pie with 9.0.78 update it's downloading now :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

i suggest you guys try this also
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Anyone try putting rogers sim card?

I am abroad and gonna take a while until I find my rogers sim card. Thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
I would but I only have Bell and Telus sin cards.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Try both

Any help? Did anything come up?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
huh it already came for me after I put my Telus sin card in I'm running emui 9 right now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Oh my bad. Then why would you respond to my message when I was talking to other people if they have the Telus sim card?

You confused me ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
No access to any other carrier sim card for me try unfortunately. I did try removing my bell sim, no update.

Always had Nexus devices, should have gone with a Pixel, but no, I wanted to try something new. Biggest mistake I've made.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Trust me. Every phone has problems. Huawei p20 pro is a great device but if you only bought it for updates then you made a wrong decision
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
No, no. Don't get me wrong. Updates was not a thought when I got this device. I was excited for the hardware more then anything.

My issue is the fact that everything now revolves around waiting for a stupid update. Any update to at least show some glimpse of a future for this device (CLT-L04). But if this update is taking so long to push out to the point where users have to swap sims or even FF DNS update, I could just imagine what the future holds. Even think this may be the last update we see in a while.

We may see many looking to rebrand in the future.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
That's true. It's just a new change for Huawei since they were mainly a Chinese brand and only available in China. But now they expanding.

Hopefully carriers and them get along to throw more updates and improvements more frequently.

I understand.

Like atleast give us pie then take your time with security updates. Because I'm just waiting for pie tbh not even the security update.

I have a feeling that huawei might get better with updates since this was their first big update for the pseries devices.

I blame the carriers tbh.

They shouldn't have put it out through batches. They should have put it out all together.

But it's the carriers fault all together. I wouldn't blame the company.

I couldn't even but it elsewhere without contract so I blame myself.

But fingers crossed for better firmware support in the future and more frequent updates
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
Underwhelming

I have to agree that buying Huawei was not very wise in the long run ...

While P20 Pro is a decent device, is quite far from Pixel, Samsung or even LG or OnePlus. I'm fact I'm looking to trade mine for G7 Plus or 6T.

Once the 3 cameras hype evaporated, it's clear that Huawei is quite challenged from a software design and execution perspective. The update is underwhelming at best, and does break some functionality while not bringing anything new as far as I can see. The fragmented way the offer some of their apps and services based on geography does not help either (not the mention the botched pie roll out).

I don't have much hope for the hardware... Some bad decisions like cheap glass on the screen and not properly reinforced frame makes me think it will not age well. The extreme custom assembly of the camera will probably make it very difficult to keep it up to date or add new functionality a la Pixel.

All these plus the political kerfafle is already pushing this phone and others under the brand towards the "junk" status. Prices on the secondary market are already below $500 cad for brand new units.

Manage your expectations for this update, will be disappointed...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Agreed but you never know. Got to maintain the phone so it doesn't break or anything.

And g7 plus would be a downgrade in my opinion.

LG is known for worse updates and even worse front glass screens that don't last and having pixelated issues.

Well every phone has different issues and I haven't used all of them to say anything but I've used LG and just didn't last at all and updates were worse.

Personally I would go for the one plus 6t if I'm trying to save money.

But otherwise. I personally have a love and hate relationship with Samsung but they not bad devices.

And pixel devices is a no go for me. That notch is annoying.

And the design is not that appealing and very not scratch resistant on the back.

I'm knit picking here but just giving my opinion.

Let's just all hope for a better future for the huawei phones especially the huawei p20 pro devices.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shenyydjm:
my virgin mobile still have no update. but when I put koodo sim in, i got the update. bell and virgin are so irresponsible.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] l337krew:
I can confirm the Telus Sim card method worked. Got 9.0.0.178 with a dead Telus sim
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
Nice I give everyone this be sure to share it this worked for me running emui 9.0.78 with Jan patch right now.

EVERYONE TRY THIS RIGHT NOW IF YOU CAN!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
If only I could. You've all made me quite jealous.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Goddammit. The only sim card I don't have.

I have koodo. Anyone with koodo try using their sim card?

I'm gonna put mine when I get home

Telus is with koodo right? Hopefully good news when I get home
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Nothing from koodo :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shenyydjm:
I got update when I put koodo sim card in. basically koodo and telus are the same, just like bell and virgin
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Actually?

I know they the same but I never got the update when I put my koodo sim card in.

Got my phone from rogers tho but I had a old koodo sim card lying around from before and it didn't work sadly for me
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] weiyu:
I got the update from Koodo few weeks ago.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
the Telus sin card worked for me. I was the first one who tried this and it worked running emui 9 with jan patch right now!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Looks like Rogers will have everyone updated by 02/18. It must be true - read it on the internet. Good luck everyone.....

https://mobilesyrup.com/2019/02/11/huawei-p20-pro-emui-9-update-rogers-canada/
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Oh. It would be so nice to have some kind of optimistic vue with Bell in this matter.

Feb. 11, still waiting....
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
One more week. Hopefully everyone follows rogers and gets the update as well.

But who knows.... Rogers might change the date after that week as well. Can't be too sure
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] crixley:
How is this phone? Would you recommend it?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:

Great device if you don't really care on how long it's firmware will be supported for the CLT-L04 model
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
um hello, the bell link doesn't work what bad support, I don't trust bell anymore switched sim card to Telus and got the update instantly!!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
When you follow that link and select the P20 Pro it shows current firmware as .160. Wonder if they pulled the OTA since they still have 160 and not 178.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Finally got the update. So happy.

Rogers came through. ?

Downloading as I speak.

4.21 gb and .178 update.

Going to try it out and tell you guys if it's better or worse or the same as the firmware finder version or if it's worth the upgrade or not
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
report, it seems to be better but I can't really tell. scrolling and overall it's way less laggy and the battery seems to be even longer after a couple of days. gaming has also gone up not by a lot by a little. what do you think?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I'll keep you posted when I finish the update.

Did you clean install? Or just updated? Because I was going to clean install. (factory reset after the update is installed)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Is it just me or is the volume of my P20 pro is louder than before?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
I just updated, no clean install and yes they did improve the sound HD or something it's better. they also put hdr support for youtube and HD for Netflix finally.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Exactly. I didn't feel the need to clean install. Because it felt smooth enough. But might do it anyways. Backing everything up now.

And hdr option in YouTube? I hadn't noticed that until now. Haven't been seeing alot of hdr content.

Always been watching in 720 p.

And damn.

So nice.

Gonna check the battery life tomorrow when I clean charge the phone. (use until battery dies then charge till 100%) and will keep you guys updated
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
No don't!!! Why are you killing your battey life??
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] nouvoo:
P20pro with bell. Switched to a dead fido sim card, got 9.0.178 update immediately. downloading now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] olafsand:
Battery is amazing after Pie update :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I didn't mean 00%. Only till it says 30 seconds until phone will die. I messed up and used to kill it before charging it but now I know it decreases battery life.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

Clean install?

And standby has increased alot as well. So far so good.

Definitely not feeling the love from Bell today.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] gstyle_1:
no update yet

i could not wait any longer borrowed my buddy's telus sim, and the update is at 40% downloaded....face palm BELL!!!!!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Wiggums:
I just got my update.. T-Mobile here in U.S.A., I got it last night. So far, so good. Some apps seem to be running a lot faster.

Unfortunately, the desktop mode has gotten worse, it now shows 1280 x 720 resolution. Before, I was showing 1920 x 1080. I have three different adapters and, before, two got me high resolution, but now, none of them do. A little disappointed right now, who has EMUI 9 and is getting 1920 x 1080? I love using it like a desktop, it's already replaced my ten-year-old laptop.

Now who's pressing check for updates for Android q? ???
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Easy. One delay at a time.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] heathenlife:
Weird.. I just kept mashing the button over and over again for a couple of minutes and the update popped up. Not sure if it was a coincidence or if Huawei got fedup of my phone constantly nagging them.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Well, color me surprised - did not think I would see the update before next week for sure...

Downloading and installing now
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Surprised us all
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Who you guys with for service? I called Bell support and Huawei Canada support yesterday to enquire about the update. Getting real tired of waiting.

Bell support was suprized to hear the update was not out since their system claimed Dec 12 release. She was also confused since their site for the P20 Pro shows 9.0.160 as firmware. Informed her I still have 8.1.0 Sept security and OTA was never pushed. Also mentioned how unimpressed I was since this new device was still on Sept firmware when the wife's Galaxy S7 just received the Jan update. All through Bell. Also mentioned how Bell users can put a competitor SIM card in and get the update instantly but not with Bell. Bell tech did "escalate" the issue to network devision incase it's on their side that OTA ain't going out but also to call Huawei since it may be an issue on their end.

So called Huawei for ****s and giggles. Of course they claim update has been released and it's now in providers hands. And obviously if other providers are pushing the .178 update and yet nothing with Bell, then it's obvious who's at fault for dragging their ass when it comes to approving the firmware for release.

As the story goes.... Still waiting.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeDurp:
So am I, I even tried my aunt's Rogers sim card still nothing. I am getting real tired of this.

I'm with Rogers and got the update this morning.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Robinottawa:
On Koodo, woke up to update 9.0.0.178 on my CLT-L04.

Waited just as long (in Canada) as most of my other phones, with just as much whining all around.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Thank God this week has been the week instead of waiting another Mont
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kbird1:
Rogers must be starting on the East Coast , still not in BC it seems , just got the Phone and was told it was eligible for Pie but might not have it out of the Box....it didn't even have Sept. Update , I thought it was downloading Pie at 1st but no ....even my old Phone (6P) is on Dec Update..... so came to XDA as I figured someone here would know what was happening... should of known better as long as i've been with Rogers that System Updates aren't a priorty.....forgot having a 6P for so long....
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Feb 16th. Still waiting on Bell
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] :
I checked the Rogers site this morning and the P20 Pro has been removed from their schedule. The P20 and P20 lite are both there stating "available now"

Weird,
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kbird1:
I had my phone set to update overnight and happened to actually see my P20 Pro pickup the upate at 2AM this morning from Rogers :) , it has the January Update too. I did see a comment somewhere about the 18th of Feb , so I guess they hit a Date for a change :)

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
anyone notice the new performance mode setting in battery settings with emui 9. what is this and does it work???
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Feb 18th has come and gone. Still no OTA from Bell...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Performance mode was always there no?

Just never used it because phone was good as it is and it would probably use more battery life as well
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] loxzzz:
Just checked for an update at 8am EST this morning and the update is available. I am on Bell so it looks like they are finally pushing it out
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Can confirm currently downing. 178 update. About time Bell.

Update installed smoothly. Everything is exactly as I left it before updating except for that "Tips" app notification that you can't clear. Quick uninstall fixed that up. Everything pretty smooth up to now.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
no it was not there in oreo and it does work I can confirm I tried it with some heavy games and I notice it lags a lot less with this on

now who is excited for p30 pro????
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Are you talking about performance mode on the battery settings or the app gallery assistant?

Cause I only have performance more in the battery assistant. I have game accelerator on the app gallery assistant. And performance mode in the battery settings.

Same as oreo for me

And p30 is going so be sick. But I'm gonna wait it out until probably p40 pro.

Hopefully we have support and updates for this phone until then but doubt it
