Bangalore, India..
Updated to 1.0.0.121

Visually there are no changes. I still belive that we Need atleast 9.0.0.171 Firmware for some feature.
Maybe someone who has 171 on his Mate 20 pro and the Freebuds could confirm or send me some screenshots.
Specially if there are any Buttons for BoneID Settings. HWA Codec Settings are confirmed being there at 171 or higher.
I'm on 171 and my freebuds 2 is on it's way, shipping might take a week or two.

English Voice Commands for Freebuds 2

Dear all,

May I ask if anyone knows what are all the possible English voice commands to control Huawei freebuds 2?

So far I am only able to use the following:

"next song" - to play the next song

I tried saying "previous song" but it just replay the current song from the start instead of playing the previous song.

Thanks all!

At least it looks like they improved the firmware update routine in the newer version. I was just prompted to update to .129 and the process went through at the first attempt. It took several times with the previous one to update to .121 from .102.
As for Mate 20 Pro B171 or higher to get new features...I still fear Huawei might leave not chinese models in the dust, the Freebuds 2 app is still officially China-only after all, the globally available Freebuds Companion app has just been updated but there are no signs of the Freebuds 2 being supported there. We'll see, I'd just want HWA, I can leave without the Bone stuff.

Oh nice.

Well HWA is confirmed now from a few people to be working in 171.

I know, but that 171 is supposed to be the one for chinese models. Europe is supposed to get 18something with a similar changelog, but it has to be seen if FB2/HWA support will be included in that firmware.

Because 153 and 171 are both December patch. 183 is Januar Patch.

I understand what you mean, we might never get it but we will see once the update drops.

It's does work. If you say previous song, it's like pressing the <- button in the music player. It resets the currently playing song.
You have 3 seconds to press <- again or say previous song to really go back to the previous song.

That's in all music players and has nothing to do with the freebuds.

Oh I see!
Thanks!

Other than Next Song and Previous Song, are there other commands? Such as to increase or decrease volume, to pause and then to play the music?

All of this. Play music, stop music (which is pausing it) and volume up/down. It's really cool when I walk my dogs and don't have any hand free.

Thank you so much dude! You are of a great help!

Same, I usually use the ear phones when I walk my dog! I was trying different phrases randomly for the last few days without any success. Thanks for sharing with me the rest of the voice commands! ?

But the volume commands are working not always. All other also for calls or Google assistant are working perfectly. The volume commands are 60-70% of all trys.

Your very welcome. I was planning to do it for me anyway and there is no reason for not sharing it.

Later today I will upload a updated translation. Saw some mistakes while updating.

Super simple, you download it and install it. That's it. It will update this way.

Just install the APK.

I have both versions, the original freebuds and new 2 pro's. Originals app tells you what updates contain.

There is no changelog provided. Not even on the Chinese Huawei AppStore where I get the original app.

Let's just hope the next update for the mate 20 pro will enable some features. I hope Huawei don't lock us out.
