Got the phone yesterday, wow it's quick! Battery looks incredible. I tried to get rid of the icons in the notification bar with no success, ill try again tonight. I have an LG screen so I will watch this closely.

For those who need a screen protector in Canada. Highly recommend the Alinsea 3D tempered glass (UV light and separate glue method). It's full adhesive and fingerprint works with it.

Only drawback is that the default clear case that comes with the phone may cause the side of the screen protector to be lifted up. So yeah don't work well with the default clear case.

How do you know that this is a Canadian-specific hardware version of the Mate 20 Pro?
Hi how do u know it's a BOE Screen, which model did u buy and how much was it.
Because it is a model LYA-L0C, which I believe is the 'North American' model... And of course the phone is essentially banned from carriers in the U.S.
Good point... and considering that we are such a micro-market, I don't see Huawei having a lot of incentive to provide speedy updates to this phone.
There is an app that checks the hardware and screen maker in the market, purchased from eBay for 900.
I would appreciate name of the app plz and which model did u buy
There are only two variants of firmware from Huawei, and then Telus tinkers with it for our OTA. Since they have nearly zero bloatware and the voice over wifi is already 'done', I think we will see fairly prompt updates. It is very little work for Telus to keep up to date. In other cases such as Samsung it is Samsung who are horribly lazy when it comes to Android or exploit patches.Good point... and considering that we are such a micro-market, I don't see Huawei having a lot of incentive to provide speedy updates to this phone.
I still hold out a faint hope for a bootloader unlock, one that possibly works for any 'english variant'. Custom ROMs are probably not going to happen when we have unique triple lense cameras and such, but I want root on general principle. Not holding my breath, but oddball workaround hacks like the S9 Exynos still happen now and then. Sadly without source code for drivers root won't get us much, but as a good example the hardcore factory reset proof Cerebus oodies are priceless.

'Device Info HD' is the app, look for LG or BO under the 'display' on the primary tab. Also grab 'OLED Tools' just to use the screen uniformity test at various brightness steps to monitor potential green tint spread.
Do you think I can disable the "HD" Icon in the notification bar?

Apparently you can... You need to turn off voice over LTE in the settings.
I'm living with it on and with the signal strength bars and with eye icon (for that adaptive screen finally like functionality). Everything else has been disabled.
Has anyone found a way to remove the signal strength bars?
Attached is my mostly clean status bar. Looks much more barren in the screenshot, no notch represented lol.

You guys need to download an app called themes for Huawei and Honor. I was able to find a theme that changes the insufferable blue quick tiles to a more palatable white on a transparent background. I was also able to get Nova icon packs on the stock Huawei launcher. ??
