same here i cant join BETA, it says carrier locked . i have free mate 20 pro from amazon no provider branding, i have german vodafone sim card after 1st start phone "load" some provider settings. ;(
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
I didn't know that because I have no plans to actually root or install a custom ROM, thanks for the details. Every day we learn something new.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
Loading provider settings after installing the Vodafone SIM card means your phone has carrier-customized Vodafone software/apps. The beta is universal to all people around Europe and can't include these carrier extras, so it simply won't allow you to join the beta to avoid incompatibilities. These carrier extras are often mandatory for managing your carrier plan.

Are you a Play Store developer with apps published in the Play Store? If not, it doesn't matter, you wouldn't get accepted for the beta anyway. I can apply for the beta project, but I won't get accepted because I'm not a developer. Maybe there will be an open Q beta in July after this developer beta project ends.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mrazzido:
thank you for info :).. i can wait for final release.

Does LGRP1 mean it's Chinese firmware? And if LGRP2 beta firmware appears on firmware finder, would we be able to install it without paying a service like FunkyHuawei or being a member of the beta project?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
LOL, Huawei's community page for the beta has been updated with new info:

https://consumer.huawei.com/en/community/details/?topicId=6032

"So far, we had received several hundreds of applications; however, none of the applicants matches the developer email provided by Google Play Store. Please notice that your email for Beta app registration MUST BE the one displayed in your app's introduction in Google Play Store. Otherwise, we cannot identify you as a qualified applicant. For more details please read the instructions below."

This means that out of ALL the 1746 people who have requested to join the beta project, NONE are app developers. Not a single one. Epic fail from Huawei. They will probably cancel this app developer beta program and start a public one soon to save themselves from the embarrassment of nobody being eligible to actually receive the beta.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
It's news from two days ago. Of course, the developers also applied, I know at least two of them, but they did not get the information that they were joined.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
Did they join with a Huawei ID linked to the Gmail they use as a Play Store developer account? If so, even more fails from Huawei because they say in that community post that they checked every applicant but none are Play Store developers.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
They say several hundreds, I guess a lot of developers have applied after that, but I still have not heard that they accepted anyone and started a rollout.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Nalix:
I am a registered (and paying) developer with the same email for both Huawei ID and Google Play Store developer account. I haven't published any app yet though but I am build mobile apps for both Android and iOS. I paid the Play Store dev license the same day as I enrolled into the program. I registered around position 660/6000 in the beta project. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I'd be happy to find contact info for the beta program if anyone has it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
As Huawei stated, to join this project, applicants should meet both the following conditions:

1. Released one or more apps on the Google Play Store.

2. Use a Huawei Mate 20 Pro mobile phone, with a HUAWEI ID registered by the Google Play Developer account’s email. This email will be used later to log in to the Beta app. (Note: The email address will be verified by HUAWEI official team. The developer will be qualified and receive the OS test version after successfully verified.)

Contact for questions about the recruitment or about the beta version: send an e-mail to hwthirdparty@huawei.com
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arsenal74:
I wonder if this will always be devs only or if they will widen it as the betas progress?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
This is the answer I received from the administrator on the global community site:

This version is opened up for developers only because we need helps from app developers to see if EMUI based on Android Q is stable and compatible with apps. The user beta will be opened later. Thanks for your support!

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Aburel18:
you can't please read

Applicant qualifications: To join this project, applicants should meet both the following conditions.

1. Released one or more apps on the Google Play Store.

so we are not eligible ,make sense right ? next time no more huawei
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] svano:
ok thanks, I thought the beta above could be installed manually .......
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] SimonMattila:
You're saying no more Huawei since you can't join a developer only beta period? Even though public beta and regular release will come? Pathetic dude.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
I'm on beta, so, trust me, it can't be used as a daily driver, there are so many bugs in it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] WiizGhost:
I am also on the beta it works great can't find too many bugs.. one of the main things not working thoe is dark mode..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
Really? I found bugs listed bellow:

1. Battery usage statistic is wrong (1% hardware consumption, 99% software consumption)

2. Dolby Atmos is not working

3. YouTube and some other apps FC

4. False notification after rebooting - SIM card changed

5. Can't change Bluetooth audio volume with slider or volume up+down buttons

6. Smart Screenshot is not working (can't share or save a part of the screen due to permissions problem)

7. Bluetooth restarts from time to time 9. Screen dimming in apps with white background

etc.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
Is the beta based on EMUI 9.1 or EMUI 10? Are there any differences in how the interface looks compared to EMUI 9, like a different looking settings menu or notification panel? Screenshots would be very interesting if there are any visual changes, you're the first person I've ever seen to actually have the Q beta :D
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
In "About phone" menu it is stated that EMUI version is 9.0.0. No visual changes in the interface, some minor changes in settings (for example Dark theme option in Display menu), nothing special, really. I guess the EMUI upgrade will come at a later stage.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxyYtester:
True, right now their goal is probably to just get Android Q running on Kirin 980 without serious bugs and crashes. Cosmetic changes come when the base software is not a big mess. Their goal is (or at least was before the Google ban) to release Android Q for Kirin 980 devices like the Mate 20 and P30 series on the same day Google releases it to Pixel devices in the beginning of August.

With Google's assistance over the next three months (Huawei got a 90 day extended license for software updates) it's possible they'll succeed. If they make it by August 19th, we'll get official Android Q as EMUI 10 with Google services on our devices.

Is the Android Q build you're running now the initial build released weeks ago, or a newer build with some fixes? If there have been no OTA updates for over a week, it's possible the beta program has been shelved at least temporarily.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
It's the initial build, without following OTA versions afterwards. At the moment, there's no info from Huawei that the beta program has been shelved .

The camera of op7 pro is bad a lot of user say that, display Screen brightness is bad a lot of youtuber rewiew say that, app pixel cam Improves the quality of the camera but Consumes a lot of battery, And it has no water resistance so the only good thing about it is power and sound quality

Selling a used Mate 20 Pro for £450 after the Google ban? LOL, you'll get £300 at most if you're lucky...

Carriers here in Finland are offering as little as 150€ as trade-in deals for the Mate 20 Pro and 80€ for the P20 Pro because everyone is rushing to return their device and almost nobody is purchasing used Huaweis. The resell value is so negligible that anyone who has a Huawei right now might as well use it for another year to get their money's worth. I'll probably stick with mine until next March and buy the Galaxy S20 if it has no notch/hole. Samsung devices hold the best resell value of all Androids.

Amazing, that means Google and Huawei are still working together to bring Android Q for our devices before Huawei's license expires! Maybe we'll get a public beta in June/July. Have there been any new developer beta updates after the initial build from weeks ago?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dr_iggy:
Not yet, Q Beta 4 was planned for the beginning of June, so we'll see soon.

Any news on the beta program? Have there been any new firmwares pushed out since May, or has the program been a big fail because so few people successfully joined it?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] franagan75:
Smartphones with no official version(dload version or hstool versions installed) can't use beta programs, beta app say that your smartphone are modified, , it's happens to me with mate 10 and p20 pro, p30 pro I think are only that can use beta Q version, on YouTube there are some videos of q beta version

How do we update to 9.1.0.338? I tried sideloading it using the keypress *#*#2846579#*#* ->ProjectMenu->Software Upgrade->SDCard Upgrade->OK

And used OTA-MF version of the 338 firmware which I extracted to the dload folder on my sdcard but no luck. What am I doing wrong?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
Dload and Hicloud packages are not cross compatible.

Use a LYA B338 base from androidhost.ru to dload (which wipes data) ;

Or use HSTOOL or a patched Hisuite to force install B338 base from Hicloud(Firmware Finder).
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Monk3y:
I tried different files to Dload 338 but can't find the one , we need 3 zip files to Dload and I can't find it...
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oslo83:
[MENTION=3453467]Monk3y[/MENTION]

9.x dload are Base + Cust + Preload.

Cust and preload 9.x dload package are region specific and does not install on wrong region device. -They are just skipped, without telling you so.

So, just use only dload OVS 9.1 updated base, or whole dload out of region, is the same: Only base got updated.

It s fine as C432 LYA did not get any cust and preload update beetween B320 and B338.

Here is a B338 dload to use its base to upgrade from B3xx.
