Huawei P20/P20 Pro

munsterbear

After last update which I thought worked... I keep getting message that app updates ready. Like in picture attached. But WiFi is connected.

But nothing happens when I get to the 2nd pic screen.

Any advice?

Helooo all. Dropped my 3 month old p20 and smashed screen. The best quote I have got for screen replacement is €280. Has anyone got a better quote than this..

A screen from replacebase.co.um is about 125 euro.id buy that and ask them to fit it.

You should have got a card with your delivery with the screen replacement details.

It came with mine, so i will try to check if I still have it and what details are included on it.

There was a 12month screen replacement with Vodafone. Not sure it this is relavent to you now?

What's this now?

Mr E

I see the August patches are now available on Vodafone.
Mainly security stuff - no new features as far as I can see from the notes.

crazy to see how much this phone has come down in the space of a year. The start of this thread people were talking of 899 new.

Im trying to sell my 5 month old p20 pro and im not holding out much hopf for more than 250 euro!

It was never 900. Could be gotten cheaper on launch and its about 18 months old and trump has ****ed Huawei if this goes on

Don't forget the 300 euro headphones thrown in.

Have this phone over a year now.. still by far the best phone I've ever had... To this day people comment on the picture quality it takes.

Would it be silly to buy this phone now or are the software updates decent enough? Just worried about space etc! Probably a stupid question!

Great phone. Have it a year and zero problems. Amazing battery, camera and speed. No issues with software/updates.

I'm selling a pristine p20 pro if anyone is interested or knows someone who is!

Its locked to Tesco mobile, unlock code is 45 euro. Looking for 280. Only had the phone since April.

Is is just me or did the new update wipe out wireless projection to a Chromecast?

I was sure it worked with the stock software

18 months I have this phone now and its still a beast, battery is still excellent and it rivals the cameras of new smartphones, absolutely no need to upgrade this til it dies

Agreed. I've never been able to drain the battery fully.

dinevalesco

I’m with you guys Stacksey and Professor.

I had the chance to migrate over to my wife’s S9 but I was more than happy to stick with my Huawei.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I'm on mobile app so impossible to search.....has anyone recommendations for unlock service as I need to sell mine. Thanks in advance

If you got it on three,it's probably unlocked.

Right then.

My P20 Pro has given great service but is being upgraded (P30 Pro). It runs perfectly but has an issue which is hurting it's value.

Here's a pic. of a replacement outer glass (inexpensive) which apparently can be separated from the lcd (which on my phone is undamaged and is quite expensive). Mine is cracked on the bottom under the home button where the material is really thin. Protective case didn't do it's job 100%.



A video on the repair is here:-

Does anyone know a place who could you this job? It looks quite involved and skilled.

Is there anywhere I can still buy the p30 and get the free watch? I contacted Vodafone and Three and they both said they had none left...

Haven't seen them being offered at all lately I'd expect they have moved on to a mate promotion or waiting for the new flagship to be announced later in the year

FastFullBack

Any P20 Pro users have issues with interference on bluetooth audio. I'm using Anker SoundBuds Slim+.

If I put the phone in my pocket I get pretty bad interference and crackling on the audio. Most of the time I need to keep my phone in my hand or at least not in my pocket. I though the issue was the headphones and even returned then and got a new set from Amazon, but it's still happening.

I just recently got a Garmin watch that can store music and have started using that with the same headphones and I have no issues, so it looks like the issue is the P20 pro.

Anyone else notice the same and have a fix?

maximoose

I had horrible issues with Creative Outlier Airs and my P20 Pro.

It improved a little when I turned AptX off in bluetooth settings (it seems the Anker ones have AptX also, worth trying), but was still so bad I returned them.

Did you get replacement headphones and have you any issues now?

maximoose

I was using Creative Outlier Ones before those without ever having issues, so returned the Airs for a refund and went back to the Ones - have had them about 2 years now and they are brilliant.

Stacksey

have had this beast for 2 years now but its nearly time to upgrade, sent vodafone an email about the p40 pro and they said they will have it listed for sale in the next few weeks but what a pain in the arse about no support for google services, what have people upgraded to?

Interesting they said they are getting it, as I read they where committed to android Google phones somewhere.

I'm also now due an upgrade and phone on my list below I'm considering in some kind of order...

- P40 Pro (+) , but really need android auto though for maps and spotify
- Xiaomi mi 10 Pro 5g
- Oppo find x2 Pro

- Motorola Edge +
- Honor 30s?
- Wait for Mate 40
- S20+ (ultra)

- Nubia Red magic 5g
- Black shark 3 pro

Mr E

I've had this for nearly two years too - due an upgrade during the summer.
I don't think I could get a phone without Google services, though. I think the P40 is out for me.

Stacksey

I'm thinking of waiting til September for the new pixel or maybe the next OnePlus, I'll steer clear of Samsung anyway, I think they are very overrated and expensive

agfasfos

Iv'e been using the P20 Pro for 6 months now, excellent phone, great camera, all Google Apps and 128GB of storage, what's not to like, the price is great too compared to all the high end phones on the market.

Heraldoffreeent

I've been with Huawei since the P8, so this will be my first non Huawei Phone since 2015. If things were normal, I'd be on the P4O/PLUS/PRO in a heartbeat, but without GMS it's a no no.

Not a fan of Samsung, I can't really say exactly why, its a combination of I don't like their styling, the feel of them, the UI and think they are over priced also

So yesterday, I hit the button on a Xiaomi Mi 10 pro from Amazon ES, €923.00 incl delivery, also includes a set of Xiaomi earpods and a xiaomi fitness tracker bracelet.

Delivery is Apr 22-30th, can't wait now!

Gatling

Heavily leaning to the P40 pro ,no Google apps doesn't bother me to much might be a gamble worth taking depending on longer term reviews,
Anyone looking at the P40 pro +

AllForIt

I have to say the P40 to me is the most desirable looking phone I've seen in a long time. Only thing I don't like is they have copied the latest thread of putting the camera in the top left hand corner like sammy and apple. Well, that just a minor gripe. But yeah, the P40 looking at youtube reviews looks amazing inside and out.

P.S I wonder if the latest Hwawai phones can be rooted and then put google services on it that way as a workaround.

Defiantly not. You'd have to sideload it.

I saw a really good pre-order deal on the German Amazon for the P40 pro that includes the new GT2e smart and Freebuds 3 all for €999

There use of the "+" got me excited there for a minute, but it for the additional items, not the phone model!

There RRP of 1308, is that including the price of the free items, I presume, as p40 pro RRP is 999?

It has been far too long to get this update and that is the end of Huawei for me, I wont be going with them again.

What's so special about this update that it would annoy you that much?

Yeah, I have the P20 pro. I looked at the specs on the P40 pro and apart from a bigger screen there isn't much point. Plus no google stuff.

I'm surprised you even got a quote. Are they still open for repairs?

Yeah you can send it in. Slot of the quotes I tried was where you just put it in.

Think I'll be going to the p30 pro or the Pixel 3a.
