I'll believe it's out when it hits my device. I'm still thinking next year. Everything else is just rumors or expectations imho. Supposed Dates and time frames have jumped around way to much for anything to be taken seriously.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] mike613ottawa:
Am I the only one that's been tapping the "check for updates" button every few minutes all day today?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
I'm with you. All day every time I came to a stop in my rig I would run and update check. Kinda nuts to think of it, for a software update. But still, haven't received an update since Sept so kinda about time.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dkblackhawk:
Nope. Man's gotta hope :(
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] PK_Droid:
Nope. Duped again. Looks like Rogers responded to a question someone asked on the original Bell tweet. Said their rollout will not coincide with Bell's as they use a different certification process and schedule. So basically, there's no timeline and clearly Bell didn't adhere to theirs. I understand rolling them out in batches nationwide, but I haven't heard of anyone on either coast or in between receiving it yet.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] LonestarROB:
As I said above. Nobody will get it until they get it.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Hey to anyone who wants the best experience of the pie update.... Don't factory reset (clean install) the pie update after Ota update.

I factory reset after using the OTA update and found that it got worse.

And if you're on Ota update.... Don't change your face unlock because emui 9 face unlock is not that great. Wouldn't recognize my face most of the time which got annoying.

For best experience.....

Downgrade back to emui 8 using hisuite, install all your apps, update apps, set up finger print and face unlock and make sure face unlock is working well for you and you took it from a good angle etc. (I took it in a dark room but not dark enough that it didn't recognize my face.)

Then don't open the apps. And don't do any update on settings or change themes etc. Just Ota update from there and now having the best experience with this phone than ever.

(this is for anyone who wants to clean install the emui 9 update)

Thank me later.

Now having around 7 hours screen on time and the best face unlock experience ever.

Goodluck and enjoy your emui 9 boys

And anyone using gestures? Or on display navigation (the finger print navigation)?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
Hello,I'm glad it works well for you,but I had no problems with Pie. My phone even works better after factory reset. It might be a coincidence in your case,that it worked better after you updated again after downgrading,maybe the first installation had some background errors,that were fixed by downgrading and upgrading again,or it might be the update from Canada(I assume you're from there) with small problems after a reset(someone needs to confirm). I'm from Europe,on .195 update if it helps.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Yea Im on Canadian update and Canadian firmware on .178.

And mine was fine when I did Ota. But the battery wasn't as good as before.

And when i removed my face from face unlock and added my face again, it got worse and wouldn't recognize my face most of the time.

Now everything is good and I'm happier than ever.

P. S. I had a dream/nightmare that I dropped my phone and I got so sad then I woke up and got happy again ???. Thought I would put it out there lol
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
Damn...well,I got a premium offer...3 months of free screen warranty,separated from the normal warranty,so if I crack my screen they replace it for free...but I did not applied yet,it's in my HiCare app. I'm going to let it there and apply to it next month,so I know it lasts longer,haha.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Ahaha. I love the phone without the screen protector but I have like a OCD for this ****. If I see any scratches on my screen I feel like it's going to break faster and sooner. So I put a screen protector on this device and use a case. Scratches are my weakness. Don't like seeing them.

And the Canadian models dont have hicare so I couldn't even get warranty even if I wanted.

And I don't think this phone has gorilla glass 5 that's why it scratches easily but I could be wrong.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
Yeah,me too. I pulled off the original protector and applied a glass protector(it's not full body,I mean it lets a few milimeters of black on all sides,it covers the screen,around the fingerprint senzor and around the camera,I use this because full screen protectors,that cover all the black areas are pulled off by the bumper,with this one I have no problem). But many websites say it does have gorilla 5.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Exactly. I had full body screen protector before but when I got a case for my phone, the screen protector kept coming out so I had to get the same one you're using. Showing the black sides.

But I couldn't find a perfect one that would fit. The right and left side of the phone feels unapplied (like a halo affect) but I tried 4 different screen protectors and same problem so I gave up and just left it. Won't notice when it's on but as long as it's covering my screen and it doesn't annoy me as much I'm fine.

But it's worth it. Loving the cases I got. But doesn't beat the bare back feeling (especially cause it's glass. But risky cause it might break just dropping It once.).

And I saw the Jerry durability test on YouTube and found out that the glass on the p20 pro is not as strong as most devices at this price range so I got extra scared and conscious.

Can't risk breaking a $800 phone (when I first got it). Especially when it hasn't even been a year since release yet.

And I used it without screen protector for a couple months then found out it would scratch even in my pocket and with my nails. (like minor scuffs that you only notice when you look closely at your phone with the screen off). Annoyed me so I had to put the screen protector on it.

But I've lived to enjoy the screen protector. Just can't look at it without the screen protector yet or I would get so annoyed.

Even got a screen protector for my camera on the back as it got a big scratch from one camera to the other. (never had that before on any phone but can't risk it anymore.

Gotta take care of this phone until next year. Can't keep buying new phones everytime a new one comes out like before. ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
I made a picture,I hope it's clear enough(you can zoom in on the picture). This is the protector I use,the only annoying thing is that the glass is not perfectly cut on the shape of the notch,but not noticeable with the screen on.

https://ibb.co/y5LhM6J
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Wow that's a perfect screen protector placement.

Mine is the same but the sides have a halo effect.

Could be the screen protectors I got from Amazon. All came out bad. I just lived with it.

Would update with a picture but this app and website doesn't let me upload pictures for some reason
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
I tried two before this one...and this one is from a store here in Romania,I don't think they sell outside the country. https://catmobile.ro (and this model was recommended by a guy from their store,after I told him about the bumper problem...he said that they tested a few and this one was the best fit with bumpers,even if the glass has a more straight cut around the notch).

BTW: you can upload pictures on the website I used and share the link they give you after uploading.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Lucky. I don't have any stores who have a good screen protector here. They have the full coverage screen protectors and they don't work with my cases.

Just gonna manage with what I have.

And thanks for the tip. Will do when possible
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Anyone actually using gestures and enjoying it?

Trying to use it. Has been 2 days and still trying to make it work. Anyone have any tips or are using different method?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
never used it I got used to using the fingerprint sensor to move around I don't see the point of gestures since the display isn't fully to the top and bottom.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Exactly. Its no point.

I prefer the finger print one anyway. It's so close to the gestures. Might as well use it
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] xbgwmr:
I got the update a few days ago (CLT-L04; Bell Aliant) and so far everything's good except my cards in Google Pay no longer do contactless payments. Even re-adding the cards doesn't work. It says the cards can still be used in apps and online but contactless doesn't work and I "need to contact my bank" (even though it worked before the update and works on my old phone).

Anyone else have this issue?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
yep, I think Huawei should have put it on the back.

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/help/help-p20-pro-gps-doesnt-update-t3893265

oh no hauwei, don't tell me you broke GPS to with the update!!!!

also for noobs do not force close apps on your pro to save battery it uses more.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
No. This phone is perfect with the fingerprint on the front. I can use it and unlock it before trying to find the one on the back, I can control home and back button from the from instead of using on screen real estate. Saves space and its more convenient.

Personally it's better for me. It's like in display fingerprint because it's in the front but faster than that because it's not in display. You know.

It's more convenient.

The p series should have continued this from fingerprint scanner and left the in display fingerprints for the mate series.

Who else agrees?

And the fact that it doubles as a back and home button is so convenient and better than in the back.

Idk I just really love it. **** gestures
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Pupsterface:
Got the update, but not worth it.

I got the update these past days, but don't get it, it's terrible. Overall it works well, some improvements here and there (the new volume control is nice), but the app switcher is broken.

They implemented the iOS ****ty impractical have view that Pixel and One Plus phones have, and by that it is already a downgrade, but to make things worse, when I touch the Multitask button (to place an app to the top half of the screen), the bottom part of my screen turns black and I can't select anything. If I close the multitasking function then whenever I open the app switcher I get a black screen (bit I can still select apps, it just doesn't show anything in the Overview).

I suggest waiting for either a patch to fix this, or an unofficial way of keeping 9.0 but using the 8.0 app switcher (gonna look at ADB solutions).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Working fine for me. I think you're the only one having this issue. Like what do you mean it goes black? You using a different launcher?

I found if I used nova launcher, whenever I go to app switcher, the screen turns light blue. But when I do it again it's back to normal. Like a small glitch but it works.

Anyone else having this issue?

And otherwise what do you mean? Like black screen and not showing multitask apps? Can you show screenshots thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Pupsterface:
I will take some pictures later on (will have to restart my phone afterwards and I am at work so I can't bother Reith that now). And yes, I use Nova since the stock launcher is really bad. I did notice the blue tint but this is the least of my concern right now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
That's fine. Work first.

But I feel it could be the launcher acting up with the phone because of emui 9.

Im using stock. I find the animations and transitions on the stock launcher more appealing and better than the animations and transitions on the other launchers. (I've tried most of the highly rated ones, including nova prime).

Even though I like the gestures better on nova launcher.

I have removed the hisearch app so I don't get that stupid swipe down search that was on the original huawei home launcher.

Did you do a clean install (Ota then factory reset?) or firmware finder? Or Ota update and no reset?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
it's just you I'm not having this issue and anybody see that if you turn off your pro then turn it back on the app switcher looks like it has blue highlighting on it but then is gone??
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Funny. Just tried to recreate what your explaining here and I'm getting the same thing. Running Nova Prime, fingerprint controls, open app switcher, select app to multi-task and it goes to the top of the screen but the bottom half is blank, as though nothing is seen. If you tap the lower half one of your open app will populate that area but if you don't and just got back to your home screen app switcher in now blank. Again tapping the screen opens an app, scrolling the blank screen and tapping also opens one of your other apps. Like all my open apps are there in app switcher but it's blank, can't see the individual app windows. When I open app switcher my current app "shrinks" but then disappears.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
To add I'm required to reboot to see apps in app switcher. Clearing apps didn't work and neither did restarting Nova. Strange it took this long to notice. I sware it was fine just the other day (post Pie update) I think...

Another thing I just noticed is when you multitask on stock launcher the bottom half opens up the app drawer not the app switcher. Wonder if that's causing the issue running Nova???
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I think it's just the launcher.

I'm using huawei home launcher and haven't had any issues like that yet
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Can you confirm that the Huawei home launcher does in fact open the app drawer when you open an app to multitask or is that just mine addind to my confusion. If so it would kinda make sense for a third party launcher to experience issues if it opens app switcher when opening an app to multitask.

Found that one can ADB uninstall the Huawei home launcher to resolve this issue and to restore Oreo style "stacked" app switcher.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I can confirm that huawei home launcher opens app drawer and multitask apps normally without any issues.

I can't confirm the other part tho (disabling huawei home to fix issue)

I've only disabled hisearch and it has been working fine without any issues
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Another thing I noticed is if I use the "drag knuckle across app to open multitask" method then multitask app switcher works fine showing recent apps in "stack" style. Resent apps only goes blank if I try to open app multitasking via default recent apps screen (tap multitask button top right of app window) then the app switcher goes blank when selecting multitask app and stays blank afterward, even when not multitasking, until you restart the device.

Will probably try the ADB disable Huawei home launcher method tonight once I get home from work and have the time.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Ita the nova launcher bug.

Huawei launcher works fine doing multitasking and drag dual app displays.

Let me know how it goes and if you encounter any bugs when disabling (removing) huawei home launcher
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Kbird1:
Hi , just curious if anyone else has issues with low call volume with the P20 Pro , I am wondering if it is a Roger's network issues (Volte?) since Rogers replaced the Phone last Friday under the 15 day warranty policy , but the new phone seems to have the same issue.....

Anyone Else in Canada get the free Protective case I see in every review and on the Huawei Site? Roger's say that's it's not included even though I asked the Agent "what's in the Box" and he said the case was.... he too was looking at a review online, not Roger's website apparently....

Hadn't noticed GPS isn't working on Pie either but I don't have it on much...

Thanks for any Tips/Help you can offer

KB
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
no call is fine for me and no I did get a screen protector but not a case.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] FotoPete:
No case in the package but came with screen protector applied.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I found out that when my ringer is on and I'm watching a video, I get the notification volume and it reduces my volume for the video I'm watching. I have to leave the app and go back to it to get my volume back to normal. Anyone else having that issue? It's not big but it's present.

And the Canadian models don't come with cases in the box.

Usually just the screen protector applied.

Only the international versions I believe come with the cases. Or it could just be the China models but Canadian models don't come with cases.

We didn't even get gpu turbo 2
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
You did not receive the original package. The transparent bumper should be in the package. Usually,only phones bought from certain providers are missing those bumpers,because they are jerks. They take them out so they can sell them separately.

I had the bumper in the package. I am in Europe. But I bought it from a tech store. Phones sold from providers are without those bumpers even here(not all of them,for example Vodafone sells the original package with the bumper,Orange sells it separately...jerks).

---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 PM ----------

They opened the original packages,then resigilated(is this the right term? english is not my first language) them so they can sell the bumpers separately.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
That could be possible or the Canadian models got it shipped to them without the cases. You never know.

But Canadian models (rogers) do not come with the case but only screen protector preapplied on the phones
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] exodus394:
As far as I know,Huawei sends worldwide their packages with bumpers inside and screen protector preapplied(I had the screen protector too,but I removed it to apply a glass one).

Only some telephony providers do this,out of greed. How come that in the same country,all stores sell this phone(same european version,c432) with the bumpers inside and screen protector applied,but telephony providers(except Vodafone and maybe another one called Digi) sell them without bumpers? I think they do this too in Canada.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
If it's from your phone company then maybe that is the case. But most of the time if the service providors doesnt give you a case then it's not going to be available in the same country from a different service providors.

And when I bought this phone, they didn't even have the case for me to buy separately.

They said I had to wait until they order it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Can confirm that using the disable command in adb shell worked perfectly to disable Huawei home launcher. Now have classic "stack" style recent. Multitasking from recent works perfectly, no more blank app switcher.

Why Huawei would decide to change the whole thing up and have multitasking from recent open the app drawer instead of the app switcher I'll never know. Guess they gotta be different.

I know many are thinking "just use the Huawei home launcher, it's great, pretty animations..." yeah if you like running a 5x6 workspace. I prefer using up that workspace and run 6x8 hence the need for 3rd party launchers.

Too add... Also noticed alot of freed up RAM after disabling Huawei's home launcher.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
You were the only one having issues with the standard huawei launcher.

I'm glad everything worked out for you.

Should just downgrade if you really wanted the same old stuff from the oreo update.

Thats your choice.

Enjoy your new nova launcher with oreo update
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
Easy buddy... That's quite the attitude to others whom don't "follow" your "use stock launcher" suggestion.

Never said I'm having issues with the Huawei launcher other then it's lack of customization. Pretty sure others who prefer 3rd party launchers would like a work around for an issue that never needed to be. Not everybody gets their new device and leaves it at full stock, sound like you'd be better off with an Apple. Only thing missing is the revamped app switcher, which wasn't too improved to begin with and gestures if your into that stuff. Everything else is stock Pie without the useless Huawei home launcher.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I just told you to enjoy it lol. No attitude.

Not everyone has the issue you're facing.

Everyone in here most likely is using a third party launcher and most of them are probably using nova launcher as it's the most customizable.

And apple is a whole another story. If you noticed I talked **** about Apple in this thread as well so not going there.

And just cause I don't customize my phone as much doesn't mean it's a apple device loool. You make me laugh.

I'm picky with my launchers. Anything that shows bugs or needs improvements I tend to find a fix and if it's not available I go back to before.

Hence the downgrading my phone and upgrading again to get my speed and battery life back to normal. Which you probably didn't or wouldn't do but instead just complained about it.

All I said was enjoy your upgrade because the new recent app window was one of the major changes in emui 9 which you removed that's why I said enjoy Android oreo because it was oreo updates stack recent.

If you take offense in that then you clearly need to work on yourself rather than trying to "fix" your phone launcher problems. Loool.

And NO ONE said anything or acknowledged that they were having the same issue so it was just your phone. Even the nova launcher I had didn't have any issues like that.

Better check yourself before you wreck yourself my friend lool
