I got mine.

I live between USA and Peru. I just upgraded my plan and got the huawei P30 pro 256gb VOG-L04. For us$600.

Now is I am in San Francisco and using it. In peru I have volte and wifi calling option. But when I change sim cards.. The phone locks those options. Probably os because the phone is unlocked but attached to a carrier..

I get lte speed on 35 to 60 mbps in San Francisco using band 4. I don't know where to find lte 66. I will go to Guenerville, nyc. Boston during the next weeks and try the reception.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] daraj:
I highly doubt it will have VOLTE or wifi calling in any of the US carriers.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
VoLTE looks to work just based on call connection speed, etc. Even though there's not a toggle for it. Wifi calling is a definite no
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kittiyut:
Don't count on getting WiFi Calling or VoLTE using AT&T SIM on VOG-L29

Unlike iPhone where iOS can download carrier settings, Andriod does not.

My dual sim L29 bought in Thailand will have VoLTE & WiFi calling options for all local SIM inserted. When I insert my AT&T, the two options disappears. I can get WiFi Calling using the same AT&T SIM in my iPhone X no problem.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
But we're talking about the L04 though...which I get both in Canada (V & Wifi), and will try in the USA when I can.

What SIM card did you put in at the switch (carrier)? I think if you reset the phone to factory, then put the US SIM card, you may find you have those features. Just trying to troubleshoot everything here......
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kittiyut:
You don't need to be in the USA to try it out. Just put in your AT&T SIM card in the phone while in Canada or wherever you are on earth :)

Resetting the phone to factory won't help.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
Actually it does. The first SIM card you put in dictates what "features" the phone downloads, the bloatware, if you will.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] marcopolo1:
I put my local sim card. The option of carrier aggregation is on. With the tmobile sim card some options are off, like volte a d wifi calling. With my local sim card those options are on.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kittiyut:
Not necessarily - it depends on what firmware the phone has. Phones sold in HK and most of SE Asia are, by law, unlocked. Bloatwares and "features" are already there with the out-of-box firmware.

When you update your firmware - that's another story.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] udaredme:
Any updates on a reasonably easy way for USA customers to purchase this model? I'm almost ready...

I am headed to Germany in a few weeks again, I keep drooling over the UK model and I keep touching it fondly....

I dont really wanna give in and get one if the canada version fits better for north american customers.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
I second this!!!
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
We do know that the Canadian (Americas Model) has Band 66 as opposed to the International Versions... Its on Huawei site... So that's confirmed... AT&T and T-Mobile use Band 66 (launched 2016, 2017)... not everywhere as it is a newer band. Band 66 is an extension of Band 4.... What does that mean? :confused: From what I gather and someone maybe able to clarify that is a little more familiar with it, if a phone supports Band 4 and Band 66, it allows for more LTE headroom which results in faster speeds... not necessarily better reception...

With that said, I have the L29 on T-Mobile... do I notice any differences than the other countless phones I've had... No... but Band 66 may also not be a huge thing in Indianapolis either meaning there's nothing to test. :D In other words, the L04 is more compatible on paper... Is it a deal breaker... probably not. Especially when you can get the International Version on amazon.es shipped Global Priority with arrival by April 30th (if not faster) 256GB / 8GB Version for $918 USD... That's a deal... It hard to even find a L04 256GB / 8GB and good luck getting it at that price, even with the exchange rate.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
Is that a no?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
For me a no, living in Indianapolis. For you, living somewhere else where Band 66, it could be yes it does matter to wait for L04. Really depends on your current phone and cell company, does your current phone support band 66? If no, and you’re fine with it’s connection speeds for 4G LTE then get a L29... it subjective to the person and requires self research...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kittiyut:
Might be a trade off....

Canadian Version will probably be a single SIM, but might have the necessary firmware to support AT&T's VoLTE & WiFi calling.

The former is hardware and can not be changed, the later is software/firmware. For me, Dual SIM is a must so it's an easy choice for me.

Why not get the L29 and try to get Canadian firmware? If that's doable...

VOG-L04 Starting to show up on eBay

For anyone looking, VOG-LO4s are now starting to show up on eBAY. This is essentially the north american model. Most are black and 128GB / 6GB variant except for 1 heavily overpriced 256GB/8GB version someone is trying to sell... Thought I would give the heads up for anyone looking for the Band 66 support....

I may just get one to do some testing and resell.... I know wifi calling is hopeless but wanting to see if Band 66 does make a difference... may even get a sim for att just for comparison.... if anyone thinks that's a worth while effort for some good info... I'm willing to try...
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
Do you have any links to someone selling?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
Can’t on here. Pretty sure that violates something. Just look for “from Canada” then verify with seller. I saw at least 3 different sellers
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jijanusz:

ebay... look for from canada then verify version with seller (good bet if description is 6GB single sim.... 8GB version is very rare in Canada and very expensive)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
I found one and trying to work out a deal for under $1000 but no luck so far. They seem to be pretty firm with it
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] shollywood:
Well it's $1300 plus tax for that model in Canada (about $1456), so you may want to consider going higher than your $1000....FYI

I had considered offering up a few for sale on here, but to make it worth while, anyone would need to be paying at least $1200 USD, otherwise it's not worth the time and effort. Best of luck to you though.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] trapcoder:
That's really costly. It's only $850 if you get it from malaysia or singapore plus you also get a free snorkeling case. Shipping will probably cost $100 if you want it expedited but that's still lower than $1000 all in. You've to get someone to help you open the box and send it as a gift to prevent being taxed though.

I got one guy on ebay down to $1100 roughly shipped to america. Black or breathing crystal. I might have to pull the trigger and give it a shot. Can you get an aurora one 256/8gb single sim L04 for $1200 to me in america?

Is that one a L04 model? Or the L29 model?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
Most of those sites know to mail it as "gift" much like how Aliexpress does so I would not worry about tariffs... most of the times I see tariff issues is when it is from private sellers on eBay... Sending as gift take a little more paperwork normally and most time a private seller is not willing to go the extra mile... mine did though when I got my L29 less than a week from release day... I consider myself lucky... I did pay for that though and now you can almost get it brand new $200 cheaper than what I paid... hey, but at least I had it a week early! :laugh::crying::p
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] trapcoder:
It's L29 so i guess it might be missing some LTE bands for you . Comes to about 930$ plus shipping to the US or Canada. Snorkeling case is included.

Interesting
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Yeah I am attempting to use on Verizon, everybody says no way it will work but they said that about Xioami phones in the past that worked fine on Verizon for me. The L29 is missing band 66, honestly I guess I could try an L29 and see it still has a CDMA band and LTE 2/4 for verizon but my current phone is on band 66 a lot anymore. I can get an L29 for cheaper then $930 on ebay in america already too IIRC
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] trapcoder:
Yeah you should try and see if the price difference is quite vast and if you're on wifi most of the time, then there's not much to lose.

Yes. I have the VOG L04.. And I used with tmobile while I was there couple weeks ago. The VOLTE WORKS.. BUT NOT WIFI CALLING. The rest. It's really good.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cxterm:
Thanks.

Unfortunately the L04 is single sim. I certainly will buy if there is a dual sim in Canada version.

Now I prefer buy a L29 from B&H because the 1 year warrantee they provided. But they still not in stock until the end of this month. :(
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Buy my L04? :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cxterm:
I will if it was dual sim. :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Right lol and I sold it today! :)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cxterm:
Not bad. B&H just told me they have not sure it is in stock by the end of this month. I will wait till then, or may buy a oneplus 7 pro instead. the 7 pro's camera is not that good, but it has better screen and can do root.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
yeah I am curious to see how the OnePlus 7 Pro is. I will be ordering mine tomorrow at 10 am when the sales go live! With gcam the opo might be pretty good honestly! The S10+ has surprised me too! Coming from pixel 3 I expected a large discrepancy in camera quality and it isnt that bad. Low light is the only huge difference

Don't forget share your experience with us here. It may change my mind toward to the 7 pro. :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] oneandroidnut:
Will do! I hope it is as good as everybody says it is! The P30 Pro was legit just didn't work fully with verizon or I would be rocking it. If OPO can get close to that I will be stoked! Kinda wish I bought a S10 5g though with the bigger screen but no UFS 3.0 is a bummer
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EVOLVIST:
Any other news on the VOG-L04? I've been on the scout for one of these.

Do you think it's worth it for band 66?

Funny thing, I was checking out my signal with AT&T, right at my home in Houston, and band 30 and 66 popped up, but also band 5.

I guess that means that it would have picked up any of those bands if I had a P30 Pro.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
Off topic but I sold my p30 and picked up a mi 9. Wi-Fi calling and Volte are able to be enabled with a dialer code.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EVOLVIST:
A bit of a downgrade in camera and battery life, though, isn't it?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mahst68:
Unfortunately, I gave up my P30 Pro for the OP7 Pro. None of the reasons was because of the Trump Huawei issues. Wanted to free up some cash (I paid outright for the P30 Pro)... so got the OP7 Pro on carrier from TMo.

Comparison... I can do a long one if someone wants but here's the bullet points :fingers-crossed:

1. Totally miss the battery life of the P30 Pro... Although batteries are comparable in size, screen on time and standby much different. I only wish that Oxygen OS was as aggressive as EMUI

2. Cameras - here what I will say without getting into a riot on my thoughts vs. online reviews vs. individual user statements. The OP7 Pro camera is not as much of a let down coming from the P30 Pro as I was expecting, plus I feel as OP7 Pro will get better with patches to make it comparable. The more flexible camera is on the P30 Pro for sure, especially night shots. 5x zoom still kills it over 3x.

3. The screen - I have never bought into the whole "my screen is better than yours argument" enough to say it changed my phone experience... Well, I can finally say with the no notch 90Hz refresh rate screen on the OP7 Pro, my belief structure has changed. The smoothness of the screen during normal interaction with the phone is hard to describe but it is somewhat life-changing. This will be the new standard for all phones moving forward

4. As stupid as it is, the motorized front facing camera on OP7 pro is better quality, cool show off piece of tech. It does turn a few heads with a pop up selfie cam.

5. For now anyway, the ability to unlock the bootloader, quicker updates and developer community is just better for OP7 pro, hands down.

6. 100% miss native wireless charging... I know all the arguments for and against... don't care, its just more convenient for me

They are both equals laying out these general pluses and minuses... many may disagree. To me, its what you can live with... and oh yeah, for me, not paying fully out of pocket for OP7 Pro is a considerable plus... :good:
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cxterm:
Thanks for the review. I also went to t-mobile store for testing the oneplus 7 pro. Like the full screen desgin but disappointed to the camera. May be it may improve in future.

I do not worry the system update and almost 99% my activity area is band 2 and 4. I may wait to then end of July, then pickup one of the lower the price between P30 pro and the 7 pro.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Brandon1234567:
Updates?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] danon.brown:
downgrade for sure. I'm not sure anything will compare with the battery life of Huawei phones. Hopefully all is worked out for the next Mate release.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EVOLVIST:
I should be getting my VOG-L04 today from Canada. I'll let everyone know how it works out.

I just switched to AT&T from Cricket, but I told AT&T under no uncertain terms that I would be using the P30 Pro when it came in, and that I expected their full support. Anything to sell a package with AT&T, right? They said yes, they would be able to get my unbranded phone to work with my post-paid account. I also let them know that the phone service for my family was a trial run for possible additional service, like cable, Wi-Fi, and home security. If they don't meet my small demands, I will yank them fast and take my business elsewhere.

That said, with all of this stuff going on with the USA vs. China (which I think will pan out), I noticed that AT&T - and US company - has their service in Mexico, where they actually sell the P30 Pro on their site and a plan for it.

https://www.att.com.mx/celulares-att/huawei-p30-pro

What I can't wrap my head around is how AT&T in Mexico provides provisions for VoLTE and/or Wi-Fi calling, while in the USA it seems to be iffy. That means that some department in AT&T must have tested this phone and provided solutions, wouldn't you think?

Moreover, how does AT&T get away with selling Huawei phones in another country, when profits from Mexico is certainly siphoned through US banks.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] EVOLVIST:
So, the skinny is, there's not much new. I got the VOG-L04 in and VoLTE is not enabled, nor Wi-Fi calling. However, I never had to even call AT&T. I simply chose NextGenPhone, which was there to choose in the APN settings, and bingo! - 4G LTE. I didn't have to change a thing.

I suppose it helped that I had previously had my SIM card in a Galaxy S10+.

The only strange thing is that Band 66 is all over Houston. It connects to Band 66, but it reads Band 46. I mean, I certainly don't think I'm hitting Band 46; the phone doesn't work that way.

Any questions, hit me up.

The L04 has B66, and the L29 doesn't. it is one more band on T-Mo and since that is my carrier it seems like a good place to go, but when i asked reddit i got responses about how some on T-Mo didn't notice the band missing when using L29.

Hello,

I've tried flashing my Kaizer by all different ways I could, but no way to make it work. I've downloaded a lot of different ROMs (Alex, Dutty, VIET, etc), but I always get stuck in the same point. Either in Vista or XP, RUU always stops with ERROR [262] and the phone after the three-color screen, get in blank with a bar in 0% and gets stuck.

So, I've tried flashing via microSD. No better luck on that; even using different SDs, I always get stuck in a Loading... message in the phone, and nothing happens.

I've read a lot of forums and done all suggestions such as not using Anti-Virus, Firewall, etc and formatting SD as FAT32.

One interesting thing is ActiveSync (and WMDC in Vista) simple "dies" after the phone goes to the Three-color screen so it sounds the "new hardware found" sound but no new hardware seems to become available. I always can soft reset it and my old ROM (and configs) come back, so nothing seems to be done to phone's ROM.

This Kaizer was bought in the US (Amazon.com), unlocked, in Feb/08. I had some rare Freezing Problems on it (freezes while idle).

Today's config:

WM 6 Professional

CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

ROM 1.82.721.0 WWE

Radio 1.27.15.32

Thank you in advance for any ideas on flashing this phone.

Regards. RB.
