Updated huawei mobile services and heating has stopped. Or maybe it was just getting used to my habits. But either way so far heating has gone. We will see what happens tomorrow
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
still no freaking update, i hate being last to get it???
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shenyydjm:
I am still waiting too. My is virgin mobile.

Is 9.0 still has game suite?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Just use the firmware finder method before its gone again

Still waiting on mine with Koodo...*sigh*
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Can anyone confirm if emui 9 160 is approved for them to install?

Mine only shows 178 approved. Even after holding it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CreepingMunster:
Only the 178 version.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Thanks. That means I can't even go back to 160 even if I tried
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] CreepingMunster:
Nope. I tried. I notice my payment and banking apps are not working since updating.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Everything's working for me. Except for the slide on the volume bar to change volume for your other profiles as well. Anyone else have that issue?

And battery and heating issues are worse than the emui 8 and 9 160 update. I hate it
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
Yeah hauwei support told me that the updates you update via FF is not as stable as the Ota update so I'm just gonna wait for Ota can't be very long now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jeffk567:
Just got update on p20 with Koodo..Barrie Ontario
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Really? Thanks for this information. Very crucial. Might just keep this update until February 20 then downgrade then update using OTA.

Won't know for sure when the official update will show up and if I go to emui 8 now it's gonna be so different and I won't like it like I did before.

Thanks very much for the information

Appreciate it

Any rogers customers get the update yet?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ProAc_Fan:
Still sitting here twitching my thumbs waiting like an asshat for the update supposedly rolled out Dec 19th. This is frankly ridiculous for a flagship phone. Google will be rolling out Android Q before I get my stupid update. Never again Huawei. So much for promoting your products to my friends and family.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shenyydjm:
it's really annoying to wait for such long time. i talked to a huawei assistant. he told me that huawei already gave the update to carriers and carriers should finish the update before Feb. but I guess carriers are not taking customers seriously. I won't get phone from carriers in the future. also all other version of p20 pro has dual sims. but those carriers only try to use single sim to lock customers. bad experience
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
There needs to be a mandate for mobile manufacturers and carriers to provide regular updates for their devices. We the end user put all of our information, dirty secrets and trust into these devices and yet manufacturers and carriers do nothing to help provide and maintain a safe, secure platform to work with. If Google is releasing monthly security updates for Android due to security reasons then shouldn't every device running Android follow suite. If my brand new phone came with an OS that was like swiss cheese when it came to holes in it's security and the developer kept releasing updates to close those holes. I would really appreciate it if my devices manufacturer and carrier would find it as important to seal up those hole also to provide that security to its end users.

So why is it OK for us to be stuck with this.

I buy a new car, they find problems, recall, they fix problems.

I buy new phone, they find problems, although problems may be addressed on the back end of things nothing is done for the end user.

Something must be done about this.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shenyydjm:
all phones should be able to update from google just like Microsoft update doesn't matter which brand PC they were. it's way safer for end user
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
But every os is different per phone. Some manufacturers are slow at giving up updates because they working on different phone or even just working on bug fixes.

Just cause google is fast with the updates doesn't mean they always safe and stable.

There are bugs everywhere.

But in this case, it's the carriers who are taking their time. Because huawei has already approved the update for the users. We can't get it because of the carriers.

Which sucks.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
yes, something must be done about this now. the only reason I kind of like Apple is that they push updates out instantly unlike %90 of android where we have to wait for several months to get the updates.

P S just checked this morning and still nothing on my p20 pro clt-lo4 on bell this is not looking good hauwei and Bell. Not good at all.

to give you an idea, it is now jan 28.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
Got it... Disappointing.

Got update Jan-27 evening, Rogers phone on Videotron... More than one month after the promised roll out completion date.

The update is underwhelming at best. The issues are still there... Erratic, late notifications, apps flagged as power intensive with sticky banners, the same issues with Android Auto (slow responding, not ringing, etc.).

I'm done with Chinese phones, experienced enough issues with Xiaomi and OnePlus, Huawei was just the confirmation. Good hardware, marred by serious software issues.

Ps. No GPU Turbo...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] rockyxu:
its finally coming to my P20 pro now! just now, i am updating it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] shenyydjm:
Which carrier are you with? i got nothing and from virgin mobile. I guess I only can get it after bell users got theirs.

I used to use Windows phone. My lumia 1520 retired 4 years ago. very good phone and OS, but not many apps. What a shame for Microsoft.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
p;z tell me you are with bell???
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] rockyxu:
Rogers.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Apple only does that because it makes 3 devices a year and they mostly similar. They don't have old phone support and more you update an iOS device the more bugs you get. Check out the newest update of theirs. So bad.

And everyone knows Applez don't last a year. That's why they make you pay another $1500 for a new one after every year.

Apple is trash tbh

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

Try fresh install and see if you get same problems

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

How is the battery usage and screen on time on the OTA updates boys. That's main. And the heating issues. Is it intense?

Thanks in advance
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
I've lost 10% of screen time / battery after the update. The phone is definitely warmer, not burning though.

Yeah, I did fresh install, factory reset, etc. The software issues persist. The most annoying one is the freezing of Android Auto when accessing the dialer...

Waited so long for this update and now, that is here, turns out I was better without.

Prices for it crashed over the last month and I'm stuck with this flashy piece of crap.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
wow, now I'm not so sure I want it ether with all these issues?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Just give it a couple of days. The AI reads your phone activity and helps with the battery afterwards. It might get better you never know.

I'm going to try battery saving mode and see if it improved on my FF update

---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 AM ----------

Every device is different. You should try it and give it a couple days then you can always downgrade using hisuite
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
Thing is I want it but there is still no update as of Jan 29 looks like this will go into Feb!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
I know. It sucks. But it won't be as bad at it seems when you get it. Hopefully.

Today I received my 9.0.0.163 Update on the CLT-L29 in Germany
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Did you change your bootloader?

Does it show gpu turbo on the bottom of your build number?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
That's nice for you but as the thread tittle says... (Canada). The rest of the world have been getting their updates since December. This thread ralates to the CLT-L04.

So congrats on your L29 update in Germany
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
Should they be different? I assume you mean the same model...

Not sure there is AI here. By observing, recording some sort of schedule and trying to replicate it every 24 hours mostly by turning off services is far from AI. This is really an inconvenience, perhaps that's why almost all notifications are delayed. Looks more like a marketing fad.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] furiousjay:
I never did anything to the bootloader, as I don't have a freaking unlock code lol. Anyway... yes, it says "GPU Turbo" in the build number.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Then this forum is not for you. Kindly leave thanks
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
good for you, NA is not getting GPU turbo anytime soon, confirmed.

p s and still no android pie update this morning
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] StatikBlue:
So I'm wondering. If Huawei has already released the Pie update to carriers, as mentioned a few posts earlier, then who's pushing the batch IMEI updates that they also claim to be doing. Huawei is saying 2 different things here. If carriers are pushing the batch updates then what's that like, one IMEI per day? Pretty sure carriers don't have to worry about "server overloads" since realistically how many P20 Pros did they really move.

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

I feel like the Energizer Bunny*. Still checking....

*TM
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
The carriers only test and approve the update. Then, based on what carriers approved, Huawei pushes the update in batches to the phones with IMEIs assigned to the respective carriers.

So, in order to get the update, the carrier that originally had that IMEI assigned has to approve the update, then you have to wait your batch turn.

The real issue here is that no one is transparent, carriers or Huawei, therefore impossible to understand what's happening, or when to expect the update.

Considering how things are going for Huawei, most likely this is the last and final update for NA...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
oh great, what do you mean what's going on for Hauwei???? did I miss something????
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Huawei devices are going to continue support for their older devices. The last update we might get might be Android q.

The mate 10 is getting pie this year and won't get the q update next year.

With huawei updates, it's hard to tell if it's going to even be worth updating because they might have battery loss or even lots of bugs.

But with North America devices, since we didn't even get the gpu turbo update, we might not even qualify for the q update. And even if we did, we wouldn't have the consistency of a good update with least amount of bugs and fixes. More likely we will have more battery issues than now.

Imo.

Huawei could surprise us but idk. It's hard to tell. Since it's a Chinese company and they having issues expanding to the Canadian and American market.

Unlike one plus who have successfully went international with India and America now their top markets instead of just China.

I just hope even if we don't get the newest Android q update, we get consistent security update with plenty of bug fixes and battery improvements because in Pie the optimization is not what I thought it would be. It has heat issues as well.

It could be the firmware finder version but who knows with the OTA update.

Oreo is so nice tho. Just went back and gonna compare it with firmware finder battery and heat issues and so far so good.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Bruhaha123:
Read the news, mate.

US brought criminal charges against the company...

Most of the western world is pondering if they should ban their 5g involvement. I know it's not about the phones, but won't bode well when you are accused / suspected of spying for China....
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
yeah, it might be the FF because I talked with hauwei support and they said that the ota is the most stable of all the updates. let's see if it is true, if it ever comes that is.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

oh wow, I don't really read the news anymore. should start again.

oh forgot, still no update as of this morning, Jan 30!!!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ePearl:
Updated via OTA this morning ( Rogers - Barrie, Ontario ). Download came directly from Huawei. All files were saved - same configuration as well. Smooth process.

Checked eRecovery - same as FF upgrade - 'No Files Found'. Seems Pie breaks eRecovery so far ( maybe eRecovery servers will respond at a later date).

I have found battery life to be good once usage is measured by the system.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
still nothing, where the hell is the bell ota update??????
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
hey, guys, I checked my FF today and the one where I had to press and hold to approve before now I can just press to approve. does this mean that the update has finally been approved for my clt-lo4 p20 pro on bell and i will be getting it in few days????
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dafloof:

**** you rogers. You're one of the top companies in Canada and not everyone has got the update yet. Goddamit

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

Anyone with battery issues, just use your phone till it's completely dead then charge it up to 100 then turn on the phone and use it.

Might help you.

Just have to do it once. Preferably after updating your phone
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeDurp:
Anyone on Virgin Mobile and get the update for this phone yet? Been waiting for weeks for this Pie update.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Join the club. On rogers and been waiting since December when we should've gotten it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] firewaterfan:
Yeah I have (or rather had) an L04 in the GTA here. I was very concerned with the ability to get updates and patches with everything going on so ended up rebranding to L09C432 through Ministry of Solutions. I would have been comfortable enough to just get the unlock code and rebrand myself but figured he might as well do it all lol. I know FunkyHuawei does the same - believe they are a little less expensive maybe.....? Not trying to sell him, just saying if you are worried about the future of Huawei in NA might be worth at least getting the unlock code at this point to give yourself options. Now as far as Huawei is concerned I have an international EU version been running Pie since the last week of December, right now on a 9.0.0.195 build.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
The update we getting is. 178 which has January security patch.

Do you have the January security patch?

And do you have gpu turbo written upder device info?

And I was referring to huawei status in the world rather than just updates.

Because huawei doesn't have that great of a relationship with anywhere that well. Other than China ofc.

But I know where you're coming from.

Who knows. Maybe your version is better but I would only rebrand when the US or Europe version of the os has the q update and north America won't get it.

Or when they have the gpu turbo update and it shows significant upgrades over the north America version.

Money is not a issue for me and we getting updates anyway so far but if we didn't then that would change everything for me.

For me it's about improvements and speed and gpu turbo since gpu turbo helps device in multiple ways.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

And all other versions have dual Sims. So even if we do this, we might have a locked bootloader phone forever. And the phone might act different as well.

Idk I wouldn't want to risk my device for that if it doesn't show improvements. Single sim phones are better than 2 because I feel 2 Sims would use more battery even if it's not supported
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] firewaterfan:
Build number 9.0.0.195(C432E5R1P9) GPU Turbo. Have had GPU turbo since the last 8.1 update. Supposedly GPU turbo 2 was supposed to be coming to the EU version. However I don't really game much on my phone so I honestly can't comment on whether or not it seems to make a significant difference. Many have said that the phone is cooler running intensive games and that responsiveness is better. Again, can't confirm or deny this really lol.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Gpu turbo helps with heating and battery as well.

You see battery improvements? And heating is less?

And which security upgrade?

If you got it earlier then you wouldn't have gotten the January security update am I right?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Rebranding is good for gpu turbo then I guess. And faster updates. Idk. Might end up rebranding.

Are there more features or things on the Europe version compared to the north America version?

And does the Europe version have better battery after rebranding? Like what's your screen on time? I usually get 8 hours.

And heating less?

Thanks in advance

Updated on Telus

Received the update last night on Telus Version 9.0.0.178
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] firewaterfan:
I got 9.0.0.163 with December updates on the 28th (I believe) and then 9.0.0.195 last week with January security patch. Yes phone definitely seems cooler and battery seems to be better after a few days.....

---------- Post added at 10:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 AM ----------

Rebranded to L09 which is the single-sim EU version as opposed to the L29 which is the dual-sim.

---------- Post added at 10:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

Rebranded to L09 which is the single-sim EU version as opposed to the L29 which is the dual-sim. Also bootloader was unlocked for rebranding and then relocked. I can still toggle it on or off in the Developer Settings if I want. I know I can roll back to unlock the bootloader again if I wanted to but frankly don't have any interest in rooting or installing custom ROM so likely won't bother.

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

My screen on time is still adjusting but yes, phone does seem cooler.

FYI I'm not trying to convince anyone to rebrand their phones or pay someone for an unlock code, just offering my humble opinion on updates and especially security patches. I got Pie in December with security patches and then an update last week with January security patches. I don't really think there are a lot of differences in the actual software. I know I can't use HiCare (says it's not available in my area) but otherwise pretty much the same stuff.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
****. Makes me want to rebrand my phone now.

Just because heating was a issue for me and gpu turbo can be very handy. Please update me on the battery status and what your screen on time is with the update.

And thanks for the information. Appreciate it

Are you rooted and on a custom recovery?

If so, how did you install the update?

I'm also on Telus and I see the update is available, but I'm not sure how to install this, I'm rooted and have TWRP for recovery

Thanks!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] bstone64:
No I'm not rooted, so mine came through the software update. You can most likely download it using the Firmware Finder for Huawei app and install using TWRP.

Someone else might be able to help you with the details.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
is the Jan 14 version the final one in the FF
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
You'll have to unroot and get official recovery from Huawei to update.

Regardless of huawei firmware finder or official firmware.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

Yes. Hold check for approval button and it'll approve for you and you can go to erecovery and install it.

Your dsn should be changed tho. Just a heads up
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] freedomvan:
Hey Guys I am with freedom Mobile and I am on EMUI 8.1.0 with builder clt-l04 8.1.0.114(c792).

It keeps telling me I have an update to clt-l04 8.1.0.120(c792). it downloads, goes through install, then loads back up to 8.1.0.114. i've tried it through the phone and hisuite and no change. ihave even reset my phone to factory with no success.

do i need that update or no?

also when using FF it says my emui is not supported.... any idea why?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
actually, I just tired it and now it says approved even if I just press it which it didn't do before. this started this moring around.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Idk about the first issue you're having but for the firmware finder... If you're referring to the emui warning when you open the app then there's nothing you need to worry about. If your model number is not shown automatically then find it using add button.

And find the firmware you want.

And make sure you check for approval before you do anything. Hold for safe measures.

If it's approved then you can get it.

But your dsn server should be changed or update will not work in erecovery mode.

Use erecovery method in the firmware finder app to get directions to which dsn address you need to change it to
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] freedomvan:
I did change the dns and everything and still nothing. Not sure what else to do other than wait for the rollout.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Does it show connected to mtteam? That proves youre in their dns server.

And it doesn't show the firmware finder firmware in erecovery mode?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Skyrim90000:
did you change only your pro dsn, because we're talking about the router or hotspot dsn, just changing your phone will not work.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zizzyboi:
Exactly. Gotta go in your router settings.
