Huawei p20 pro

Forgot to say - Dropped my phone in the paddling pool yesterday. It's been absolutely fine

You mean this?

Is anyone running EMUI 9.1 yet? I'm intrigued by the duo video option...

I've got EMUI 9.1 - it's very meh so far. The notifications on the lock screen is handy now.

However, the phone keeps vibrating randomly - It's very much like there's a notification, but nothing shows. I've installed a notifications manager to see if it can pick something up, but it doesn't seem to. What I need to do is reset all the notifications if I can and see what is coming through.

And there's no Duo Video. I'm disappointed.

My P20 has done that as well. Quite bizarre.

I've a friend whos phone is also doing this... I'm using the "Notification Log" app and it's really good at showing me the notifications and there seems to be real duplication in notifications.

Mine has done the update but I've not noticed any differences apart from the apps are square now.

And the call vibrate has changed too... Not happy about that at all ...

[james_TW]

Friend of mine had an iphone 6 and she upgraded to a P30 Pro on the basis of my P20. I'm somewhat jealous...

I'll be looking at the P30 Pro next year on the grounds that anything else is unlikely to be fully Google sanctioned.

[james_TW]

Anyone seen/tried Android 10 at all? It's supposed to be available for the P20...

[james_TW]

My daughter has laid claim on my P20 Pro when it goes in May (I'll get a P30 Pro) - This is telling as she was on at me for months about getting an iPhone prior to that...

will let you know !

Please do because my daughter wants one and at that money, it's only £4 a month more expensive than her SIM only deal

ETA: It's still there:

If I've read this right, they take the cashback from wherever and reduce the line rental cost to you accordingly...

My question would be what would happen in 6 months time if they then disappear, with the cash - Who is then liable for the full line rental cost? Or am I being too cynical (it's been one of those days)?

Not sure

they seem to be established

Fair dos - I hope you like the phone regardless

[james_TW]

Ahhhh, so possibly more legit than my cynical self thinks then

[james_TW]

Sometimes, yes. I think it tries to add warmth hence the yellow.

As for the motorway shot - did you hand hold it or use a tripod?

I haven't tried it to be honest, I did do the motorway at night with vehicle lights, that was quite smart.

That and the "silky water" one work really well.

Oh. Not seen that one...

[james_TW]

Has anyone done a hard reset of their phone? I back mine up to Google One and I'm intrigued as to how it might go...

I did a restore to it (new phone)

You need to backup SMS, photo's separately

Also the default Whatsapp backup is weekly so backup beforehand

How did you back up the photos?

[james_TW]

Is that for the P20?

I also got the recent update and got a little excited then disappointed...

[james_TW]

Does anyone use Skype on their P20 Pro? I don't get notification badges for it and I want them
