Battery life is little bad on Pie & also loudspeaker volume is much lower than Oreo...

You can revert back to Oreo 165 using HiSuite if you don't like Pie...I am also on Oreo because of the before mentioned reasons...

Make sure you take a full system backup using HiSuite if you want to go back to Oreo because the Pie to Oreo downgrading process will remove all your phone data...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wastedagen:
Thanks for the info, but I haven't noticed any change in battery life. I am a low to medium user, but I still get 2 days out of battery.

Also I haven't noticed the volume being any quieter in pie than Oreo. Not saying your lieing but to my ears it's the same.

For now I'm sticking with pie but it's good to know I can go back to Oreo using hisuite should I need to...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
I'm a low to medium user too & I get almost 3 days (about 2 days & 21-22 hours) out of my phone in Oreo so yes it's much lower in Pie than in Oreo...It's a 5000 mAH battery so 2 days is not normal for low to medium users...

And about the loudspeaker, check the Android P 9.0 beta thread & you will see there are several people with the same problem...I put my ringtone & speaker volume to the maximum level always so I did notice the decrease in loudness...For people who do not listen to songs using full volume on loudspeaker or don't use the maximum ring volume, will not notice the difference...Battery issues are also being reported by other members in the below thread...

Here is that thread : https://xdaforums.com/note-10/how-to/android-p-9-0-beta-t3886194

And here is one example of one such post in that thread :

I have no profit in misguiding you or telling you lie...Then I wouldn't have created this thread at the first place...Not only me, many people rolled back to Oreo...If you don't face any problem with Pie, you can stick with it...:)

Your link is not working could ypu please help me to actualize my note 10 honor

Have another link??
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
You became a little late...They stopped the Pie signups yesterday night...I just woke up & saw this thread & by trying to find what happened with the link, I found that Huawei stopped the Pie registrations yesterday...Please check the attached screenshots for confirmation...

You can no longer sign-up for the Pie beta using that form but since the beta testing is over, Huawei should start pushing the Pie updates via normal OTA procedure soon...So, keep checking for any available updates manually & when Huawei will start it, you will get it & also all those people who didn't sign-up for the Pie beta, will get it...Best wishes....
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
@ Mods, Please lock the thread for now as Huawei is no longer offering Pie signups through form...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ramayahan:
How are you?? Oo i thought it was a official, so there is no official yet?? Only beta?
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
They were all official from Huawei...At starting they were pushing the Official Pie beta to them who were filling out the form...Later they started pushing the newest stable versions like 181 & then 183 directly, skipping the beta...Since the Pie sign-ups are now stopped, they should be sending out the upcoming FW versions by normal OTA procedure...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
Previously it was only possible to update to Pie by updating to Pie Beta 167...But since the beta testing is now over, Huawei started pushing the latest build 186 directly to the phone & like I already mentioned in my main post, you no longer need to fill-up any form to get Pie...If you want to update, just search for the update in your phone & I think you will get the latest build 186 directly...If you still not receive the update, wait for some days & the update should reach you shortly... :)
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] MarceloAF:
Thanks for the tip, I did a few days ago and received the update.

My analysis:

System more fluid and with soft and beautiful animations, sounds of the system, are pleasant. I liked the square design in the notifications for example, I liked the square photo on the dialer.

But, as someone already mentioned here, listening to music with bluetooth is not recommended, the battery goes down ungoverned. Just on standby the device already consumes more than it should, with games then, it reminds me of the cars of the 80's and 90's. I did not notice the low sound that they complain about, but I'm not the user who uses the maximum volume. Anyway, I'm returning version 165, I prefer stability. That's why I left Xiaomi. Hehehehe.
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
I am using 165 myself...I did upgrade to 186 Pie but because of the low loudspeaker volume & more battery drain made me back to Oreo...About the low loudsepaker volume issue, you may not notice it while you are listening to music...But if you try the same ringtone/s both in Oreo & Pie, you would notice that, in Pie, ringtones are a lot quieter & since I always keep my ringtones at the max level, this really bothers me...Plus in Oreo, I get about 2.5 days of battery life easily where as in Pie, it's less than 2 days sometimes...

The animations & the system became really fluid in Pie like you mentioned but higher battery drain & lower loudspeaker volume (specially for ringtones) made me back to Oreo...

And I think this is not only Honor's fault but a common Pie issue...While I was searching for these battery & speaker issues in Google, I found several people in different phone company (Like One Plus, Sony & others) forums are complaining about the same thing...

I'm currently happy with Oreo 165...maybe I will completely skip the 9.0 & will upgrade to Android 10 if Honor kindly makes that available for our devices...Since this is a relatively new phone, we can expect to get firmware updates till atleast Android 10/11...If not, I will stick with Oreo because the android development for this device is zero so there will never be good quality custom roms for this device, I guess...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ogoobaby:
am currently on oreo now. 165. love to go back to 125 or 132.tired downgrading to 125 , it failed. used dload method. still looking for a way tho
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
The dload method no longer works for latest firmware versions, I think...If you really need to go back, you need to pay for 3rd party Bootloader Unlock services to unlock your phone & then root it so that you can install TWRP & install whatever rom you want to...

Why you want to downgrade to 125/132 though ?? So that you can use 3rd party unlock services ??

If that is true, then you can't go back to 125 or 132 without unlocking your phone first...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ogoobaby:
i love d battery life so much. it gives enjoy. i dont want to root my phone. let me stick with.165 then. thanks.
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
Same pinch...That's the same reason why I myself also still didn't bother buying an unlock code for it...As this is a China specific phone & has an internal battery, if something goes wrong during firmware update, I won't have any support in my country for this phone...Honor India will not repair it even if I pay money since this device has been imported from China...I actually love 165...That's why even after upgrading to Pie 186 multiple times, I always rolled back to Oreo... :)
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marsim76:
I found the solution for updating to Pie on a Facebook group. Change the country to China in App Gallery (huawei app store) and update all apps. Change the contry to China also in HiCare and check for update from HiCare. For me worked, update came right away.
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
After the Pie Beta signup was over, Huawei pushed the official 183 & 186 to every Note 10 owner like I have written previously in this thread...So, you would get the Pie update without changing anything too...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jaredchew:
Can you share the Apk file pls. Same thing happened to me when upgraded to Pie. Google play store disappeared.
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:

I have the Chinese version and located in Canada I'm still waiting for the pie update I am reading all these posts is there anyway to do the update manually ? I downloaded the software from the firmware finder app but not sure how to flash it
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
You can only update manually if you unlock the bootloader by paying a 3rd party service like mentioned in the first post of this thread...

https://xdaforums.com/note-10/how-to/bootloader-unlock-root-tutorial-huawei-t3855643

I have not bought unlock code from them but several people did in the forum...You can message them first to know the availability of the unlock codes & then proceed with the payment if you want to...They have their Whats'App & Viber number shown at the top of their site...

Best wishes...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] golfinggino:
ok i didnt know that - i doubt i will pay to unlock the bootloader as looks like no custom roms. do you think i will eventually get the update in Canada ?
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] sushrukh:
Yes everyone will eventually get the update regardless of where they are located...Keep searching for the updates manually also by visiting System --> System Updates...Sometimes it may not show you the updates automatically...

P.S. I myself will never install any custom rom on this device but having an unlocked bootloader is compulsory to install any official rom manually...Without unlocking the bootloader, you can't even manually install any rom on this device, not even the official ones...
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] golfinggino:
i guess so, i have been rooting phones for years ( samsung / oneplus / pixel / etc. ) and never had to pay to unlock the bootloader i might have to one this phone as i really like the big screen and great speakers - i was watching the hockey game earlier today on my bell fibe app and great picture and great sound. i will delete the stock launcher and replace with nova prime. My only concern right now is pie control - i use this on all my devices - i like a clean home screen with no apps at all - a few widgets and all my apps on pie control swiping in from the side. i constantly have to grant permissions which is getting to be a pain it would be nice if i didnt have to do that
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] golfinggino:
I was finally able to get the update. It seems smother and battery life is better so far getting 1.5 hours sot for 10 percent battery. Notifications are coming through better. I still can't seem to get you tube to work without wifi. So far impressed with the update
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wastedagen:
How is your volume issue compared to Oreo. Few people complained that Pie volume was considerable lower than Oreo.
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] golfinggino:
I think the volume is a bit lower but not by much I don't think it is an issue
[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] golfinggino:
Anyone else having the issue that YouTube wont work unless connect to wifi ? I have full bars LTE and it doesn't work without turning on wifi not sure why

[Honor Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] wastedagen:
For those, including myself, who have lower volume levels on pie try this:

Take a look at "Volume Booster GOODEV"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.goodev.volume.booster

I have been using it for a while and it does a great job of increasing the volume.... In fact so good that I only use 20% volume boost to not destroy speakers.....

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] icanrule:
I originally bought a Pixel 3 XL to take me in the future. Aside from getting the newest updates and newest operating systems for the next 2/3 years, I've always found these devices to be The easiest to unlock, root and mod.

My plan was too keep Android stock until Google announced that it wouldn't do further updates then I would unlock bootloader, root and mod. However I have been reading on the forums how some providers are fixing exploits that would not allow us to mod the phone (mostly verizon). This makes me question if it is worth waiting.

I am currently with bell Canada. Does anyone have any experience with Bell and there willingness to block unlocking and rooting? Should I be worried that bell will fix these exploits in the future? Has anyone unlocked the bootloader with bell yet or run into any issues when doing it with bell?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
If you bought the phone FROM Google, carrier shouldn't be able to enforce a lockdown. If you got it from your carrier you may not be able to unlock it at all. The Verizon/Best Buy versions are not unlockable but the Google Store ones are, even when being used on Verizon's network.

You can unlock the bootloader and not root, but you may lose access to some apps due to SafetyNet checks. Android Pay I believe is one that won't work, Pokemon Go, Netflix used to, not sure if they still do or not. If you unlock your bootloader and root, then install Magisk or similar, I believe you can spoof SafetyNet and get around that. If you don't have any concerns with SafetyNet you could just unlock and root later.

If the phone is from Google as far as I know it will always be unlockable no matter what so the only risk of waiting is that you'll have to wipe when you unlock it. I haven't rooted since my Pixel XL 1 so I'm not up on the current processes. Rooting may still require a wipe beyond the one induced by unlocking the bootloader.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] TonikJDK:
Clarification. Bootloader unlock depends on one thing, did it come from Google or did it come from a carrier that bootloader locks it.

There is no exploit needed to unlock a Google phone. There is no exploit available for any that the carrier locked, such as Verizon in the US.

Google will not lock their versions, they support bootloader unlocking.

It is my understanding that Bell sells a pure Google version.

What are the first two numbers of your IMEI? If it is 99 you are good to go.

Downside to waiting is that unlocking causes a full wipe, there is no avoiding that.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] icanrule:
Mine was bought through Bell. The imei starts with 35. I should have looked into this further before I bought the phone. I didn't realize pixel s were carrier locked like that. I'm going to have to try to unlock the bootloader sooner then I expected just to be safe.

Thanks for the help.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bobby janow:
I've heard that some of the European providers sim lock their device until it's paid off. They then carrier unlock it and sometimes allow bl unlock. I have no idea what the IMEI number is, however. If you're only unlocking for future device support after 3 years I wouldn't worry about it much. You'll probably have a new device by then hopefully. The only other option is to sell it now while it's relatively new and purchase a Google branded one. General consensus is that there will not be an exploit in order to allow bl unlock on these devices. It will probably cost you about $100 on the swap. I lost close to $150 on my Pixel 3 this week and it was mint condition.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] MultiUs3r:
I have a Virgin Mobile Pixel 3 XL & just unlocked bootloader after reading this. Since Bell & Virgin basically same company and carry the same phones you should be good! (IMEI Starts with 35)
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spncr_wu:
I am currently looking into getting the Rogers version. Is the bootloader unlockable and that version rootable? I am not sure what the IMEI would start with either.

Also is the carrier locking the bootloader different the lock which fastboot commands unlock?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
Yes carrier locking and bootloader locking are different. Carrier locks mean you can only use that phone on one network, bootloader lock controls the software on the phone.

It's mildly confusing because some carriers also restrict bootloader unlocking (like Verizon).
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] spncr_wu:
I was asking about the bootloader restriction. So for the Verizon version what is limiting it's ability to be rooted? No exploit yet?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
The software checks the IMEI against a database to see if it is unlockable or not. When you first boot the phone if you try to turn on OEM unlocking in settings it requires a network connection in order to verify the IMEI on that list. If it's a blocked carrier (like Verizon) it won't let you turn it on (it gets grayed out).

Exploits were found for previous Pixel devices but I don't know if anyone is pursing them anymore.

If I buy from Google and set it up with Sprint, can I root?

I'm currently on HTCU11, and thought it was one of the most recent you could root of using Qualcomm phones.

You can root this even if it's using Qualcomm chip?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] fury683:
If you buy from Google you can unlock and root no matter what carrier you use the device on. The carrier imposed bootloader locks are only imposed on phones sold by that carrier, not any phone used on that carrier's network.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] icanrule:
This is good news because I have oem unlocking available in settings and was able to toggle the option. I may try to unlock the bootloader in the next week because Bell is big and I don't trust them. It may be unlocking now but may not be in the future.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] jody-michael:
Hi everyone,

I'm desperately trying to find a way to disable the dock on the galaxy S9 home screen which would normally house app icons statically when sliding from one screen to another.

I know I can remove the app icons and have done so and kept it that way for years to keep it clean, but its real-estate that's being taken up.

I have a number of widgets I find useful (claendar and music) and they tend to float above a blank space on the home screen where the dock lives, and if I can disable the dock, and free up that real-estate, I can utilise it.

I have already disabled the status bar at the top using adb, and if there's an adb command out there that will do this I'd be grateful.

Thanks guys and gals.

Friends, I appreciate someone can help me ... Sorry for my English

I have a problem with my phone and it is that some applications are as if I blocked the sound and banner of notifications ... For example I realized that when my son plays pokemon GO, I give him a time of one hour, and what I do is put an alarm, but while he plays, when the time comes to sound the alarm, just appears a tiny banner, but if the alarm does not sound ... Besides the same thing happens with whastapp, then while playing pokemon go , WhatsApp notifications do not sound either and only the notification led is turned on, but the sound or the banner are nos showsed

I think the same thing happens to me if I'm watching a movie with the VLC player, because WhatsApp notifications do not come out while I'm watching the movie

with other ap, I work in the interface, for example in Google Chrome browsing, WhatsApp messages sound, as well as alarms
