Huawei Mate 20 X (EVR-L29) EMUI 9.1

[frcraig]

Curiosity has the better of me. I have two Mate 20 x EVR-L29 phones. The first one has Funky Huawei's most recent 9.0 firmware. The second one has always relied on Huawei OTA updates. By switching regions in HiCare to Singapore the second one updated to 9.1 right away. I cannot get the first one to find the update by switching regions. Any thoughts? With my Mate 8 on EMUI 8 I could just place the update.zip file in the dload folder and update that way, but I don't have a dload folder on my phone. I have unlocked the phone but have not rooted.

If I update with hi care on Singapore region i get any issue? Because I have EVR-L29 global.

It's the right global firmware or Asian firmware?

By sound what do you mean, media? Ringtone, headphone volume?

I definitely won't be updating if they have lowered the sound as it's already very quiet on my headphones.

The sound is the same i believe, but I've made a factory reset so that might helped

Hi there
I tried every way to get updates in India as I'm using Chinese version of Mate x
But didn't succeed to get any updates yet
I'm on 9.0.1.120
I tried to change country in Hicare app but still no success in india
Anyone from India ?
Or any another way to get updates?

I just updated and I really don't see a difference, I'll probably sell it and use my MI 9T......Since the Trump/Huawei fued seems to be resolved.

I update with Hi Care (I've set Singapore region) and my global EVR-L29 lost the 4G+, only 4G works.

I'm going to downgrade with Hi Suite.

Definitely isn't, on my hand set at least. Not anywhere close as far as the lower range goes at least.

Playing clash of Clans for instance, on 9.0 on volume level 1, it was actually loud enough where it would be impossible to play media discretely if anyone was close to you. Now on 9.1, no volume whatsoever on level 1 or 2 and barely anything at all on 3. I'd say even level 4 is still quieter on 9.1 than level 1 on 9.0 was. Try it and see.

Yeah, I agree. Just feels like the same phone I had a couple of days ago, except now I have a more useable AOD. I'm not complaining though. Glad to get the update.

I haven't noticed any bugs or issues either.

Good evening, You must download the Dload files available on # 194 (only if you are in C636) and copy the entire Dload file to a USB key or nm card. Using an OTG cable or adapter, enter the project menu by typing: Dial * # * # 2846579 # * # * from the phone dialer app. Software upgrade The phone will restart and the installation will begin. On the other hand did a reset, so plan to make a backup via Google account and hisuite before starting ...

Multitasking only works after phone start.

Doesn't work during daily use, only bugs.

Today I'm going to downgrade.

 

[Derpling]

The volume in games is much much lower, it used to be so loud but now it's wayy too muted.
We need to alert Huawei.

 

[BigDisplay]

My sound is as it always have been...

 

[Derpling]

Check in games, mine is much lower idk why

on my untouched mate 20 x i got the update right away changing regions. its taking ages to download. might not sure if i will bother as too many issues are being mentioned on here. hardly seems worth it

 

[cloud1]

I made my international version fetch it last night by setting HiCare to Singapore.

Have to say i've not experienced any of the issues mentioned here though and i'm very pleased I chose to upgrade.

 

[shingers5]

No issues either. No random reboots I get 4G+ signal also volume is the same. I always wonder in all the years I have been here why user experience varies so much. There has to be contributing personal factors to this. The base as it is works just fine and phone is quicker and feels more refined. Defo worth the upgrade

AR measure is available only for P30 pro which has ToF camera module.

 

[dc1128]

Yes, I definitely think so.

have anyone noticed a downgrade for the sound volume after the update ?

I just got the update and noticed it too. It's about 2/3 as loud as it used to be.
