Honestly the p20 is a great phone. Given its classed pretty much EOL (end of life) so you're after an older cheaper device I'd go for the p20 every time. Android 10 will be the last major update for it anyway and OP only just getting their camera game back in order with the 8 and 9.

Cant count how many times I've bounced mine which is unusual for me and not a mark on it or fault with it in nearly 2 years.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Yes the OnePlus will be a better choice..

100%

The Oneplus 8 pro was supposed to be my next one. But when i heard about recent problems. Screen related https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMRdXKxi2qg

I bought an Oppo Find X2 pro. It's a little bit more expensive, but a much better sreen. And an oustanding camera. Only lack of wireless charging. But no need for me. Wired, it's the fastest of them all.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pablo_max:
Pretty sure you will regret it. Oppo is one of the slowest updates out there. Even far behind HW and Samsung, which are already horribly slow.

I tried the last find from oppo since we were testing it where I work. ColorOS was so bad I could not believe it.

The screen issue was resolved by replacement. It is a samsung screen, so the issue can clearly be resolved. And oneplus actually updates their phones AND unlike Huawei and Samsung, they do not make it next to impossible to install custom ROMS. No idea about oppo though. I only know coloros was a **** show.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Well I have the 8 Pro 256GB version in green.

I don't have a single issue listed, SOME people have some of the issues but the vast majority of people do not have any.

Oppo isn't yet a company I could go with.

Trust me the OnePlus is quite the beast.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Wow, I just learned about this feature of the One Plus 8 PRO. Apparently it can see through thin plastics. If this is true, then you do have a very interesting device on your hands [youtube]g7Qu3wwGAJc[/youtube].
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
It is true mate :D crazy right
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Just took these

Normal camera.

LG audio remote

Virgin media TV remote

And the monochrome camera
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] :
That is so interesting! I hope it stays that way and they don't disable the feature in some update. I'm really surprised Oneplus didn't mention it. I can see this working as a marketing tool.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Well they can't it's the actual camera.

So the bottom one at the back, that's literally what it does.

Takes some brilliant images.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yagyaxt1068:
My mom has a P20 Pro, and it looks like it's beginning to bite the dust. Sometimes some menus take too long to show up, other times the wallpaper disappears (only with live wallpapers). She's planning on getting a new phone, most likely the Pixel 4a because OnePlus is extremely expensive in Canada and not carrier subsidized, so chances are the phone will either be traded in or given to me. I'm perfectly fine with my G7 Power, so the P20 will just be a spare device for me. Does SkyEmie's bootloader unlock tool work for unlocking the bootloader, or is the bootloader just not unlockable at all?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
No the bootloader is not unlockable, period. However if your mum has a P20 Pro then it should not be slow, give it a factory reset, you'll find it's fine
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
[MENTION=6341846]yagyaxt1068[/MENTION]

Did your mum reset?

I know I bash Huawei and I have my reasons for doing so, but make no mistake, the devices they have been releasing since the P20 Pro aren't all terrible.

Sure the CPU /GPU stinks, it can't come marginally close to the Snapdragon offering and Huawei will never catch up (neither will Samsung's Exynos for that matter)

But as a normal end user device, eg: your mum!

It is not a bad device at all, the camera is phenomenal, the charge speed is right up there. It looks sublime, the audio is great, the screen is superb.

So for a normal user, someone who doesn't want to delve into the device and use an android as androids have been used in the past by so many techs and tech lovers, it's not a bad choice.

The only problem is the door had been closed on the rest of us, on the ones who probably had the biggest impact on Android as an operating system, so many people don't understand that impact, people say we're a small percentage.

Well, that may be, but we do tend to make a lot of noise as a small percentage.

Chances are if you root your phone then you're probably the person in your family who tends to get called upon to fix the WiFi when it goes out, or to fix the laptop because it won't boot or when someone wants to upgrade you'll influence their decision, not to mention your thirst for new tech and then pushing it to its limits and showing the non techs what's possible with it.

Yep, were the small percentage who makes a difference.

And if you don't think a small thing can make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito ;)

(Took that from the Dali Lama)

I hope Huawei reverses its decision to lock down it's phones but in all honesty I don't think they will, they have China tied up, and with a population like that you can afford to lose in this way, the timing was good for them, if it wasn't then it would have been HTC all over again.

Have to say out of the two companies, HTC gave us the foundations of Android today and were the catalyst to so much of what we see on our current devices, it's such a shame they're not still competing at the highest level anymore, but that's just one more thing that HTC gave us and other OEM's who are thinking of competing today, which is why Huawei's decision was a shock to so many.

They are going to send an update to disable it.

Had the P20 pro for two* years, but it started dying this month (seems like EEPROM issues) so.. Bye bye Huawei ?

Switched to the Realme X2 PRO, loving it so far!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
2 years mate. It only came out just over 2 years ago.

Do you charge your phone overnight? Probably why.

I just sold mine for £150, the battery is still lasting a day and a half.

Might just be a random issue though.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
Yup, two* my bad! Before I had the LG G5, also an amazing phone but the screen broke :(

The phone charging overnight should by absolutely no means have an impact on the life of the EEPROM, just had bad luck with the phone I guess.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] yagyaxt1068:
My mom's P20 has been having issues even after a factory reset. Could it possibly be the same thing?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
Could be, especially if you never flashed a custom rom/kernel.

In my case what helped was reflowing the board (specifically the EMMC), it seems to have helped, phone always boots fine and no longer freezes randomly.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] pablo_max:
Did you just use a heat gun?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
It was an actual reflow, not just "reheating".

What I meant is I ultrasonic cleaned the board, ran some diluted no-clean liquid flux under the EMMC, then used a hot air soldering station to finish the process.

If you are going to ask "isn't reheating with a heat gun enough?", the answer is that most of the time that will suffice ;)

Since the phone is alive and stress tested now I can sell it so it wasn't at least a total waste :cowboy:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
What about waterproofing? Well done btw, but I think I'd avoid telling people to apply flux to potential detached components. It's a little beyond most people.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mywk:
Definitively agree, it's a time consuming process and I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what you are doing, still worth a try if the phone is just going to the trash, at least it's a way for some to learn.

Waterproofing is probably gone, the internal coating is not something I can restore without a completely dust-free environment and a proper adhesive. What I've done was adding a fine adhesive and applied pressure on edges of the phone for a few days, it's better than nothing :fingers-crossed:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Nah, not taking anything away from job you did, you've smashed it by doing what you've done. Maybe get people to send you their phones. For a price. Definitely worth it

P20 Pro to Oneplus 8 question

The only thing doing me going to the Oneplus 7T or 8 pro is the size. It's so much bigger than the P20 Pro.

How do you find it?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] maddoguk:
Really no size difference between the P20 Pro and 7t. The Android versions are day and night though, forgot how good Oxygen OS is.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Dude that is the thin end of the wedge, even the OnePlus 5 obliterated the P20 pro in regards to speed.

They are bigger, by some way (pro version)

I used my wife's phone in the car yesterday , she has a pro, and holy crap it is horrible to use compared to my 8 Pro.

The first thing you notice is the size, then you're underwhelmed by the speed and app reaction or even overall reaction from the OS..

But that's just the start, the intuitiveness of the Oneplus is just worlds apart, Huawei haven't got a category where they stand above OnePlus, camera, battery, screen, size, Screen Hz, performance, features, options, unlock ability, community.

I could go on all day.

I know it looks like I'm being totally biased but I can say without prejudice that the Oneplus 8 Pro is by far and away the best device I've ever used in my life, I mean it even runs Wii games at 60fps via a TV? The Huawei barely managed psp games.

Oh and the charge speed?? No idea how warp does what it does but it freaked me out a bit when I first used it, not sure if it's totally safe to charge a phone that quick but it's impressive to see the % clock up visually.

PS I know you didn't ask me but there is more to the difference than just screen size, you just have to live with it for a day to see that void, and it is a void in quality in every way.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incineroar:
With my P20 Pro I went and debloated it by "uninstalling" (disabling) the unnecessary system apps. I find it still quite snappy and responsive even after two years of owning the device. And the camera is still quite stellar for me. However, as mentioned several times over, the one limiting thing for this device is not being able to unlock the bootloader. I'm wondering if anyone has looked at using the CVE-2020-0041 temp root exploit to try and exploit Huawei's devices to try and unlock the bootloader that way, but I haven't seen a topic on it. I've contemplated trying myself but I wouldn't know where to start.

I'm thinking on getting an OP8 Pro myself though, at least I can unlock the bootloader and it looks like there's an actually active development community there. Unless someone (or me, if I figure it out) can come up with a way to use that exploit to unlock my phone before I get my OnePlus phone, I'll be switching and never going back.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I'd strike now whilst you can still get some money for it, one of the good things about the pro is the cross platform development, the OnePlus 8 ROMs mostly work on the the pro .

Paranoid Android is available for the Pro and the 8.

I can't fault the pro, it's just rapid and smooth, the fluidity of 120Hz is like jumping to a 144hz from a 60hz monitor on a PC, you immediately start winning at games compared to prior results at 60hz.

Any game I throw at it just works, the cameras are just crazy, I got the pro for its cameras as the OnePlus 5 had no OIS and it annoyed me, this is the only phone I've ever had that ticks all boxes.

I don't think you can root without the bootloader, many have tried, including me. I'm afraid it's not going to happen

i went for iphone 11, i still have p20 pro EMUI 10 ( really it's lagging now specially google apps and don't know why)

and really iphone is way more better

it's not my first time to experience IOS ( i already have an ipad air)

what i love about iphone

- speed

- camera is v.good and consistent

- battery life is v.good

- not pricey as usual for an iphone

downsides:

screen is good but not like p20 pro

IOS 14 beta is really gr8 for it's look (they copy alot of features from android)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Incineroar:
I saw about Paranoid Android, but I've used Lineage for so long that I'd rather wait for that to become available. Plus, I'll have to save money for my OP8 Pro because it is $1550 here for the 256GB. I might see if I can get it during a back to school deal or Black Friday. My P20 Pro probably won't sell for much either because despite only regular usage, my screen got burned in really quickly.

As for root, this particular one uses a security vulnerability, and was used with success on some Pixels, LGs, and some Sony phones. Huawei patched it too but I haven't had a new update since January, whereas this vulnerability was patched in March or April. It's just depending on a few things whether it's viable or not.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
Pretty sure it's been tried.

Yeah at this point I'm 99.9% sure the OP8 Pro is going to be my next phone.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Spody:
Hi, so my friend bought K20 from aliexpress, he locked the bootloader, it was bricked that's now resolved, he has the bootloader now officially unlocked and he is in the process of installing TWRP and flashing the EU rom. I sent him a link to this post but that didn't work, he booted to fastboot and ran "flash_twrp.bat" from "TWRP auto install" provided in the post. Now, everything looked fine but TWRP did not install, it booted to the normal recorvery. And that's where we are stuck, the creator of the guide mentions that updating the system solved it for him but my friend has the latest update already (MIUI 11.0.8).
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ishaqtkr:

[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] ishaqtkr:

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] evronetwork:
Is anyone experience bootloops on random occasions with android 10 ROMs?

Things work great, played with tons of stuff and when android 10 ROMs appeared I jump to them. With android 9 firmware and android 10 custom ROMs I had no issues except the HEVC issues which were common before they fix this.

So after a while Xiaomi release android 10(miui) and I've put the firmware only and clean flash custom ROMs but after a few weeks I've experience some hard reboots. Random without any reason, bam hard reboot and when it occured it was bootlooping without a stop.

So Xiaomi image(unlocked), rom load and bam again restart, sometimes it booted properly but most of the times the boot loop never stopped UNLESS I force restart faster than the rom logo and enter twrp and shut it off and leave it a few seconds then boot it up ...after that it was working fine until the next boot loop that might occur same day or a few days later

One time it bootloop I enter to twrp fast and it boot looped even in TWRP!!!

This is weird, so let's fastboot the phone and clean everything up. Using Mi flashtool I tried to flash MIUI, after 30+ minutes nothing..it was trying to flash. Oh well. I force restart and enter fastboot and tried again..it finished with error but seemed to flash MIUI properly, clean flash custom ROMs but the issue remains

Anyone have similar experience? After some search some other Xiaomi users have similar issues and use an app called "wakelock" ..I'll see how this goes

P.S. If issue remains I'll fastboot the phone manually(without the mi flashtool), that would be my last resort - Sorry for the long post

P.S.2 usually the bootloop starts when I'm stop using my phone and press the power button to turn off display, it never happened when the phone is on idle

EDIT: Wakelock didn't save anything, got bootloop once again :D ..tonight I'm gonna try fastboot manual ..hoping for a fix(if it still keeps messing around I'd go back to android 9 where I had no issues at all)
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] evronetwork:
So Xiaomi flash tool failed me if you read my original post, didn't want to risk it again, so I backup up everything and went the old way, it seems the bootloop is fixed, my proximity issues are also fixed(proximity sensor worked on short calls but on long calls the screen remained black - cleaned it as some suggested but the issue was there, now it seems that it's also fixed!!)

So if you have weird behavior just use CMD with fastboot style and write the following(one at a time, or you can create a batch file(bat file) but I strongly recommend that you do it one after another and seek for "success" after each command):

fastboot erase boot

fastboot flash crclist crclist.txt

fastboot flash sparsecrclist sparsecrclist.txt

fastboot flash xbl_ab xbl.img

fastboot flash xbl_config_ab xbl_config.img

1) ADB Installer v1.4.3 (or any adb installer you prefer)

2) Fastboot MIUI rom, I've use "polaris_global_images_V11.0.4.0.QDGMIXM_20200325.0000.00_10.0_global_82f39e53fd"
