EVR-L29 can now directly configure Freebud 2 Pro's setting as well as updating firmware without the app. More importantly you now get the pop up when you try to connect the the earpiece for the first time. And also every time connecting you also get the pop up with battery details.

What region is your phone? I don't get the pop-up.

That's what I am looking for the most.

Not sure if this truly helps but it is something that i think it's still worth to give a shot and see if it changes anything.

1. First make sure you have the latest firmware installed for both your phone and the freebud 2 pro.
2. If you already have your freebud 2 pro paired on your device, try to unpair it first.
3. Factory reset your Freebuds 2 Pro by placing both earbuds into the battery case, press and hold the pairing button on the case and do not let go. Wait for it to first flash blue > red while still holding the button, look at the front 4 LED battery indicators. Once the 4 lights start blinking release the button and wait for a few sec. The 4 lights should then go away and the LED in the case should now start blinking with blue light as if it is in pairing mode. Wait for the light to go away then close the case.
4. Now on your phone, first disable your Bluetooth, then go to Settings > Apps > Apps and tap on the 3 dots on the top right. then select Show system processes.
5. In the search field type in Bluetooth, you should see 3 items ( Bluetooth, Bluetooth MIDI Service and Import via Bluetooth)
6. Select on Bluetooth then tap on Force Stop then tap on Storage and Tap on both Clear Cache and Clear Data to proceed on deleting the app data. Generally this should be enough but if you wish to play safe, do the same for the other 2 items which are Bluetooth MIDI Services and Import via Bluetooth.
7. Next in the search field type device connection and you should see Device Connection service. Do the same for this, Force Stop then tap on Storage and proceed to delete the app data.
8. Restart your device.

After you have done all the above, now go to Settings > Device connectivity > Bluetooth. Turn on your Bluetooth and proceed to open your Freebud 2 Pro battery case and see if you get any pop up, if you don't get any then just do the usual pairing by pressing and holding the pair button on your Freebuds 2 Pro case for about 2secs for the blue LED to blink then proceed to search the earbuds with your phone and pair it. After doing so see if you get the pop up as shown in my original post. If you do not get the pop up, try tap on the gear icon of your Freebuds 2 Pro while connected to your device and see if you are able to see those additional settings for the earbuds as shown in my screenshot. If you do not see them then it is pretty unlikely you will get the pop up. If you do try enable the Auto download over Wifi settings and also perform a check firmware version from there as well (not from the app and do try to do this while connected to wifi). Once done. just keep the the earbuds connected for a bit. maybe about 15-20mins later try put back your earbuds to the case and wait for a bit then open the case again and see if you get the pop up now.

Disclaimer: the above is not an official method / fix to the issue. but rather some information I have gathered from other user's experience. while this has been tested to not damage anything, still I do not take any responsibility should anything goes on with your devices after performing the above steps. So do it at your own risk.

PS : on a side note, if anyone encounter issue like failing when attempt to update your Freebuds 2 Pro via the app, you may try use Step.7 then repeat the upgrade process. This is one of the known "fix" that I find from other users as well.

Thank you for the detailed write up. I am on firmware 9.0.0.210 with the Freebuds on 1.0.0.136. I followed the instructions but do not get the pop-up. I think it's a firmware thing. Mine is unlocked international version bought in EU (C465).

I also couldn't think off if it's build into the systemui.apk or where this pop-up is hidden. It's not in the Freebuds or their firmware.

From what I heard this is more of a software thing on the phone rather than firmware of the earbud. Thou from my understanding there is also a min req for this feature to be supported in which for the case of FreeBuds 2 Pro will require 120 while the regular needs 123.

On top of that, it also seems like there are some kind of bug as well. As I do see weird things like it is working one user A's Mate 10 Pro while not on user B's Mate 10 Pro despite both have exact same software on phone as well as firmware on their FreeBuds. This issue is even in China's rom / handsets. So it is not entirely surprising to be in the internal / global version. Especially considering FreeBuds 2 Pro isn't even officially release outside of China.

But not to feel dishearten thou. Who knows you might get surprise along the way. Which is what I personally encounter from my end. I am on EVR-L29 which is the global version of Mate 20 X. When I got my FB2P my phone was on firmware 184 while the earbud is on 120 or 121.i didn't have the pop up. Neither I see those additional settings for the earbud in settings when paired. Then I updated my earbud to 131 via the official Huawei FreeBuds 2 Companion App. Unpair and pair again still nothing. Just about 2 weeks ago or so my phone receive 192 update. I remain hopeful I get it after that update but still no nothing change. Then just a couple of days back 136 on FB2P released and I updated it with hope again but then I got disappointed again. Since then I did nothing and just live with what is there. And it is actually out of no where with no apparent reason that yesterday I suddenly start to see I now have settings in the FB2P setting page in my phone which I got shock. Because there isn't anything new or changes since the last update. So I went ahead and turn on the auto download setting in my FB2P setting then leave it. The next time when I reconnect the eaebuds I saw the pop up happen. Again I did not do anything special. While not very convince I actually did the steps I provided here just to be sure it won't suddenly go away and to my surprise everything remain intact and that's also when I first get to experience the auto pairing via the pop up as a "new" device.

So don't get surprise if out of nowhere you suddenly start to see it happening on your devices

PS: updated with screen cap of devices

I can confirm this as well.
LYA-L29 9.0.0.215

Freebuds2 Pro 1.0.0.131

All the options are available directly from the Bluetooth settings without the need of the app.

I also get the battery popup everytime I connect the headphones to the phone.

I adjusted some settings in the developer settings for the Bluetooth Audio quality. It helped my drop outs. I still think the quality is great. Worth a try.View attachment 4705475

Hi,

I have a LYA-L29, 9.0.0.192 and my buds are updated to 1.0.0.136.

How do I get to the developer settings in my phone to alter the Bluetooth audio quality. I can't seem to find developer settings on my phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Open settings and go to phone informations. Tap 7 times on buildnumber and the settings will appear.
I can confirm this as well.

What's important is the number after 9.0.0.215(XXXX...). Because EU has C465 and there is no pop-up.

Connectionissues

Hey,

I got my Freebuds 2 pro last week.

I like the soundquality very much.

The battery holds only for 2 hours of listening. That is a pitty.
But the major-issue is, that when I riding the bike (mobile in the backpocket of my jeans) I got so much disconnection and interference.
Inside there are no problems with that

I use a Galaxy S7 edge. Is it possible, that the problem is the Bluethootversion? It is only 4.2.

The Freebuds softwate was updated to 1.0.0.136

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

I would also like to use the Flybuds with current version .136 ..... :(
