    Post Huawei Mate 20 pro Canadian discussion thread

    Haven't visited here in a while...missed your request for help. I am led to believe that simply inserting a SIM without a plan will not do anything for you. I changed providers lately and until the SIM was activated, nothing happened, then boom, latest patch, which was not yet available on the...

    Post Remove PowerGenie to allow background apps to receive push notifications

    I have to eat my words and recant...back to non working notifications from "Professional reminder" and Textra. Plus still having unexpected wake up locks at night. Not sure wtf happened, but this is one thing that I absolutely hate about this otherwise good phone. Fcuk..back to the drawing...

    Post Remove PowerGenie to allow background apps to receive push notifications

    Adding to an old thread that might not interest anyone at this point, but in the spirit of sharing... I got a bit curious (also frustrated with WearOS waking up the phone at night for no apparent reason) and re-enabled PowerGenie. I wiped out the Optimizer data, so I had to go and disable...

    Canadian version gets 10.1.0.300 with August security update. At least Huawei hasn't abandoned the phone....for now.

    Post Secret Codes / Hidden Menus not working?

    https://itigic.com/all-secret-codes-of-emui-10-for-huawei-mobile/ These work for me, but could not find a real use. I miss the Scamsung ability to force a particular band or combo of bands.

    Looks like Huawei woke up...Sep 2nd is the estimated date for the August security patch. :D

    I forgot to mention that I lost my settings for the Huawei Home Launcher (I use it alternatively with Nova...I get bored easily ?) besides that I don't see any downside yet to 10.1. Oh, and Themes seems to be working again for Canucks as I could log into my account...something I couldn't do in 10.

    Post System updates thread

    Whaddaya know..thanks for the tip. I didn't pay attention to the USB options as I blindly go select MTP. On topic : C792 received 10.1 updates this week on all Canadian carriers. Excruciatingly slow to download...took me 3 hours over a 500Mbps connection (yes, wireless is good on this phone)...

    Post Standby drain

    snovvdog use ADB to uninstall /disable anything you don't use...like Hiview. If you look around you'll see there is no middle ground, people are either happy with the upgrades (like me...knock on wood) or cursing out loud. The behavior to me seems related to the hw variant and carrier software...

    Post installed new launcher, can’t find canbus car information app

    I gave up looking for one as everything I found was manufacturer specific (mostly VW or PSA)...Torque does the job for me just fine.

    All the cables are "standard" - as much as such thing exists when it comes to Chinese stuff. You can get the 4 pin or 6 pin USB cable on Aliexpress or Fleabay...but it will take an eternity to get to Canada. ---------- Post added at 11:47 ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 ---------- You...

    Knock on wood, certainly my battery life is the same or better than when I got the phone. Not just my subjective impression but Accubattery data. Even Power Genie stayed dead after the upgrade...I was ready to uninstall it again. 4% drop in 11 hours last night. :good:

    Wait a few days for the battery algorithm to be optimized. I went and cleared the cache partition as I had absolutely no intention of doing a full wipe. Fingers crossed, looks the same as before...TBH I don't know why we all (myself included) got excited about 10.1 ? I did see on YT someone...
