[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceciliahey:
The news about view 20 can be found everywhere except this forum. That's weird.

Here is the summary of XDA reports about Honor view 20 showcase in Hong Kong so far:

1.	The in-screen hole display

Honor claims View 20 in-display hole is 4.5mm, 1.5mm smaller than Samsung A8s's solution. It is somehow a little awkward Samsung's and Honor 's showcases fell on the same day. But I think Honor wins this round.

Although it seems a mere 1.5mm difference doesn't matter too much, I believe that’s a big improvement in the display craftsmanship. Good job, Honor.

I like the hole-punch screen (compared with the ugly notch) and it actually extends the screen to body ratio to a high level, nearly 100%. If 2018 is the year of notch, hole seems the new trend in the coming 2019.

2.	48MP rear camera

It may become the first phone with 48-megapixel camera, powered by Sony’s IMX586 CMOS sensor. This report said this sensor has good performance in low-light shooting and zooming in on photos taken from a distance. In addition, Kirin 980 chipset with the dual-ISP and dual-NPU can provide a better image quality with more details.

PS: Wanna figure out how much detailed can the image be? Anyone can find any sample pictures?

3.	Link Turbo

According to XDA reports, this is “an AI feature that allows simultaneous downloads over WiFi and 4G. “ Samsung released similar feature before but I never heard about it.

“Link Turbo also enables better switching between WiFi and 4G depending on signal strength.”

This sounds very powerful but I still feel confused how will it works. So here comes a key point: how much will view 20 price be?

Just check the price of A8s (https://gadgets.ndtv.com/samsung-galaxy-a8s-5759), it is about 29,900 INR, equal to 420 USD( that’s in high price range though).

So I guess Honor View20 may be more expensive than Samsung A8s?

Because with smaller hole and better rear camara (Samsung A8s: 24MP, Honor View20: 48MP), it seems unreasonable to lower the price…

Feel free to share your thoughts and update what you can find about View 20 info below.

I also will update what I find here.

Update (12.26):

The price in China is released!

6GB RAM + 128GB of storage for ￥2999 ($435),

8GB RAM + 128GB of storage for ￥3499 ($510),

the “MOSCHINO” version with 8GB RAM +256 GB of storage for ￥3999 ($580).

What do you think of the price value?

[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] flamery:
this quote on the XDA page:

Note: Huawei has stopped providing official bootloader unlock codes for its devices. Therefore, the bootloader of the Honor View 20 cannot be unlocked, which means that users cannot root or install custom ROMs.

I was aware you could not load a custom rom with a locked bootloader, but my understanding was you could root the dveice still, can anyone confirm? I don't care at all about custom roms but I can't live without root.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceciliahey:
There is still no way to unlock the phone though. I don't think view20 will have it. somebody said Funkyhuawei can help you root but you need to buy the unlock code. I use an Honor 8X but I'm fine to use without rooting as all the specs work well.

Now View 20 haven't released so we can wait and see if someone can find a way to unlock it.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] flamery:
I agree we need to wait for release before coming to any conclusions. But I still think the statement on XDA is incorrect, root on this device should be possible whether its locked boot loader or not. ref: https://www.quora.com/Is-it-necessary-to-unlock-bootloader-before-rooting-Android-phones

Countdown posters guessing

Waiting for the View20 launch in China today.

I Found some countdown posters on Honor Phone Chinese weibo.

One is a big "M" and another is a "T".

I guess "M" maybe Maserati? T is technology?

unboxing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmyNIiNLkIs

Looks absolutely incredible, I love the way the notification bar lines up with the camera hole.

Also the headphone jack and SD card are great additions (Although Is suspect it uses the lame hybrid sim tray where you can't use two sims and SD card at the same time).
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceciliahey:
I like the V-shape glossy back design!

Looking forward to its global launch in Jan.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceciliahey:
Like the unboxing video! So quick!

It's nice to see they keep the 3.5mm headphone as most of phones have removed it.

I found a detailed review here : https://www.androidcentral.com/honor-view-20-review

I think it has the best value in its price range.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XXXXXL:
https://www.gadgetsnow.com/mobile-phones/Honor-View-20

All the specs are very tempting. hope to have a hands-on review

Will it come to US?
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] evlo2:
Does it have always on display or notification led?
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mwatson:
its LCD so no AOD and no LED
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] evlo2:
Hmm, to me, removing, for me, basic features, does not seem like a step in right direction, I kinda like knowing about notifications without having to turn on the phone.

With notification led it would be great phone for me, I think. (currently I have nova3 and I hate that notifications are not shown in status bar because of the notch)
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ceciliahey:
They haven't released the final price for Global version. So maybe we can wait until the global launch day Jan.22.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] flamery:
In case there is any confusion, this phone does support a memory card, it doesn't use the standard SD-card it uses the Huawei made nano memory card. There is no extra slot for this card, the card is exactly the same size as a nano sim card and therefore to use it, you put it in the sim card tray in place of the secondary sim.

So unfortunately you cannot use two SIM's and a memory card at the same time (very few phones these days do anyway).
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Great pricing (although it will be more in EU)

the only thing that annoys me so far, is the fact that it uses Huawei's own technology for memory expansion
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] flamery:
Pricing has been released. (Not good news unfortunately for global version)

china

6GB model - $405 USD

8GB model - $480 USB

Global

6GB Model - $630 USD

8GB model - $760 USD

apparently the global version will come with a free Honor smartwatch worth $200 USD
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ninalzc:
Really? Where did you see the price? Coz it hasn't been released yet.
[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] PalakMi:
Whaaaaat?!

If it's true that's more expensive compared to the 1+6T.

With that price it's a no can do for me. Going up $200 in the price would be detriment for this phone. I could just get a 6T. Thank you Hauwei for ruining my dreams. :crying::(:rolleyes:

[Honor View 20 Guides, News, & Discussion] shashank1320:
You can not without code but you can buy the codes via DC unlocker or FUnkyHuawei. DC unlcoked is cheaper but heard FH is lot costlier. If you can get the code, developers will definitely get the same and can plan for custom ROMs, rooting :)

No idea why the thread was closed.

You don't need any patch img to unlock bootloader.

If you mean to root or temp root, you need the same version as your current. Can't use 10.0.01 patch img on 10.0.2.0

How you sent msg to Huawei? I from Malaysia. Only received n started to use Mate 20x this Friday. Firmware is 9.0.0.117(C636E3R1P11), didn't receive any update at all since put my dual sims on Friday. I tried live chat from Hicare. Was told by standard reply which firmware release batch by batch. Just wait only.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] kingyem:
I went to the global Huawei consumer site and used the contact link. From there I filled in an inquiry form but I don't think they just singled me out for the update, not sure how they roll the updates out though

I just got the update to 146 as well, not that it really matters because not much has changed.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] jasaero:
Another thread seems to suggest this was probably some FunkyHuawei pre-released firmware?? Does Funky usually get Beta stuff and allow non-testers to use them...or do they also get pre-release builds?? Sorta confused what this .172 actually is and how long before it will be pushed out to the rest.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] baskinrobbin:
I was wondering the same thing, if AL-00 isn't even on this version...?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
.172 software will come at the end of the month most likely to all C636 models. Its not a pre-released firmware, but in testing.

.172 also allows for OEM unlock in developer settings. I'm about to unlock the bootloader on my L29 :cool::victory:

Just submitted mine. About to be the first unlocked L29 ?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] jasaero:
Does this mean a possible rebrand is close if we wanted to get like an 8/256 AL00 instead and rebrand to Euro model L29?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] antiochasylum:
Perhaps. This opens up a whole new level now for this L29 device. Which I'm excited to be a part of root, twrp and more.

Now I can start playing and creating stuff again.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] ajsmsg78:
Good choice. I spoke to someone from that site and was going to get my unlock code for my L29 last month just to have it. He emailed me back right away and seems pretty legit.

Hello,

first time posting on this forum but already using it for years. Thanks to everyone for this huge community!

This device is quite fresh but should support vo-wifi in native way! I have already done this in A5 2016!

I had a chat with Samsung's support and they were able to use this feature. Accordingly to supporter's info their testing phone is using FNXXU0ARI1. I couldn't find this version in SamMobile firmwares. All of them there are having '1' in the middle - sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-A750FN/ - I can't post links yet, sorry.

The one I am currently usingis XEO version FNXXU1ARK4

Does anyone has their "testing" version?

Is there any other option to enable this functionallity?

This feature is quite critical for me..

P.S Please move to different subforum if this one is wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Kikus_:
Ok guys. Looks like this strange firmware number was a kind of joke from Samsung support side.

Solution -> the way to enable wifi calling for respective operator is to enable a 'sale code' by choosing it in secret menu -> *#272*62826#. Once you select your operator's sale code it will do a FULLWIPE. After another restart you can start using vowifi by enabling it in dialer -> settings -> vowifi

Enjoy and sorry for the spam.

Saludos he revisado casos parecidos a este, pero ninguno igual :tonto:

1- hace poco mi redmi 4x se actualizo a miui 10 y todo bien despues de unos dias se descargo totalmente y se apago,,,

2- ya no enciende, ni alumbra el led, al conectarlo al cargador o al pc enciende el logo de mi y inmediatamente se apaga

(el led no enciende en ningun momento) solo ingresaba al fastboot(vol- / power) ,,, pero no al modo edl(vol+ / power )

- pense que era un error de software ya que le realice un flash unos meses antes

-al tratar de hacerle el flash dio error en "particion desconocida o algo asi" debido al bootloader bloqueado

entonces tampoco se podia flashear en modo edl que es la otra forma

- el movil si ingresa al modo fastboot pero, como bootloader estaba bloqueado trate de desbloquearlo con

miunlock de xiaomi ( al no encender el movil el software de unlock no lo reconoce, ni en modo fastboot) por lo tanto no se puede desbloquear el bootloader

3- la unica forma de flashear es por punto de prueba para activar el modo edl desarmando el movil al realizar el flash de esta forma el movil flasheo y se completo correctamente lo relice dos veces pero sigue igual (entonces al parecer el soft o la placa del movil responde por que flashea correctamente) :dedos cruzados:

?? otros problemas parecidos que he visto de carga intermitente el movil enciende el led o enciede y carga los punticos de loadig del software y luego se apaga, pero no es mi caso,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coreai:
I was wondering if there is an Android ROM that only does Hotspot. I see a bunch of LTE devices that are lying around with people that aren't used widely. Instead I would like to install a modded version of Android where all of the services (like calling texting, etc) are removed and it only runs as a networking device. The UI would basically be pretty basic and have all the hotspot settings and information on screen. There are a lot of devices that support LTE but aren't very good performing devices for general use with limited RAM etc. It would be a good idea to reuse these as cheap LTE hotspots since these are more reliable than most cheap hotspots that are sold around (especially in countries like India and China). Also these hotspots are remotely manageable by carriers so that is a privacy concern to. Installing VPN profiles onto hotspot would be an option since it would basically run Android. I will look more into this a prepare a basic version for something in the coming weeks hopefully for a widely popular device. I hope this idea is popular.
