Hey everyone! Decided to buy a mate 10 pro, mainly because of the battery life. I wanted to know if there are any things that should be done when i get it? I've heard of people flashing different carriers or something? What is that? Why does it cost? (Not used to paying for this, excuse the ignorance). Thanks in advanced!

It depends on where you bought your phone (country, network provider or naked ...)
Mine is naked on international/asia version (code C636) and I did nothing special.
I agree with you that the paying ****yHuawei ... is not something I would use except if I brick my phone, it's not the philosophy of XDA in my opinion.
Don't put a three UK SIM card in it if your not with three, it installs a load of bloat and splash screen that you can't get rid of

If you are using it with t-mobile USA, can you please report if volte and wifi calling works?
Thanks
I'm curious, does the Pro model support disabling the navigation bar and using the fingerprint sensor instead, similar to the standard Mate 10?

Im afraid there is no way until the US mate 10 pro is out and flash that firmware. And if thats same as mate 9, only volte works not wifi calling.

You can disable the navigation bar, but then you're not using the fingerprint sensor but what they call "navigation dock".

Don't think you can, as soon as you insert a three sim it rebrands it's self to three
That's really stupid... Does it get rid of it when you insert another network sim?

I am new to Huawei. Currently on BLA-L09 8.0.0.125(C34) on Optus(AU). I want to rebrand it to Asia/International version.
The queries I have.
01. Can someone please point me to the right Zone Code (i.e. C34) which I should be using?
02. Is it safe to use ROM's for L29 in L09 set and change the Zone? (i.e. rebrand with L29 Asia/International ROM)
03. If I use a L29 Asia/International ROM and purchase a Dual Sim tray, does both the sim slot works?
Thanks in advance.
This thread is relevant to my interests (I also have a pro w/Optus).
I emailed the good guys at Funky Huawei. They pointed to me that, I need to change to C636. In settings, I can see two SIM support is now enabled. Ordered a dual SIM tray, once I get them delivered, I hope they do work. However, the only thing I am missing is the VoLTE support. The option is not in the settings anymore. I wont certainly wont miss the option much but still trying to find a way. Apart from that, the ROM is smooth.
where did you order the dual sim tray?

I did it because I needed the dual sim support that wasn't present with the firmware I was using.
The process honestly it's pretty straightforward, I can't complain.
Look like there no hope of having a lineage OS for our mate 10. It has been so long and no developer had build any of it.
I am also looking into rebranding.
Did you check with FH guys about support for Optus VoLTE???
I tried to flash firmware from Huawei frimware finder and bricked my Mate 10 pro. Is there any way I can fix it by flashing the stock firmware again?
I also have a m8 10 pro with optus. Thinking of doing this too hows reception any changes? Also does the AI still work i hear if you root then it gets disabled could you confirm it still works?

You don't need root to rebrand using FH tool.
Upon re branding I have lost VoLTE on optus. Today I have got the dual sim tray and I can confirm that it works. Using 131 C636 ROM

You could rebrand back to Optus model and have both VoLTE and dual sim. Even if you rebrand to a single-sim branding, FHRebrandTool gives you dual sim. The only caveat is, if you're on a single-sim branding, you can't put a PIN code on your sim card.
I'm I'm c34 and can't even get volte to work. Optus have been useless.
My Sim has volte enabled, as my wife's mate 10 pro has it working wth it.
After hours of 'tech support's and a trip to the useless staff as the store, the only advice I received was "can you come back tomorrow".
Useless.

Both of them do not work on t-mobile even though they have all the bands. Signal is strong. Is there some command that will let me check radio status ?Mate 10 has similar bands to Mate 9 and my mate 9 works fine even if I disable volte. Mate 10 sometimes will fail to make a phone call or if it is being called it will go straight to voicemail. When I get connected I can't hear anything on my Mate 9, but I can on op3t.
Is anyone successfully using it on tmo usa ? This makes no sense to me.
I did factory resets, different sims and had t-mobile refresh the lines

I've been using the ALP-L29 on TMo for a month now and no issues with voice or data. Just took the sim out of my Nexus 6 and put it into the mate 10. Didn't do anything else.
Maybe check the apn? As far as bands, you can download Network Cell Info Lite to see what bands the phone is connecting to.
I have had my Mate 10 (non-pro) for about a week now and I use it on T-Mobile just fine. Why not install a 3rd party app like Open Signal from the Play Store and see what is going on? Also an app like GPS Status is good for GPS functionality. The fact that you have two of them, and both do not work, makes me suspicious that something else is going on with them both...maybe they are not flashed properly with the correct regional software?

Those were from 2 different sellers. Hard to believe that they would have exact symptoms.
They are unlocked. I checked open signal and it says lte. Anyone can recommend any troubleshooting that could be done? I would like to keep the phone but I need it to work. I do not think both phones are just not working in exact same way. At this point I am not sure what else is left to trouble shoot.
In attached pictures what is the sim neighbor #1 that is the only thing different because it is not on my mate 9.
More neighbors , but there isn't any on Mate 9. Also everytime phone call is coming in it switches to 2g. Mate 9 doesn't switch for phone calls. Overall the network cell info app shows that mate 10 switches bands a lot .
Edit
Another thing I noticed is that tmo visual voicemail will never activate on Mate 10 but it is instant on Mate 9
Spent hours with tmobile and this is because no volte on those phones. If I turn volte off on mate 9 it acts the same way. So mate 10 is unusable where I live. It goes to voicemail 90% of time.
The workaround I got is forward all calls to to my google voice number. Works ok since it can use lte just fine.

To the same rom. Now, are they ORIGINALLY manufactured with that same rom? I purchased a 4/64 mocha from amazon ALP-L29 and was functioning flawlessly. Then returned it and purchased a 6/128 chinese version, rebranded to ALP-L29 and its functioning flawlessly (with T-MOBILE) so, the only thing I can think, based on your circumstances, is that there has to be something messed up with the rom/firmware. I would try either an update via FIRMWARE FINDER or a full rebranding to the same ALP-L29. Thats what I would do.

There is nothing wrong with it. It's the lack of volte. If I turn off volte on my mate 9 it acts the same way. I talked with t-force (tmo support) and because of the towers around me the phone doesn't switch quick enough to edge to ring. If I leave it on edge it works fine, but it can't switch to edge from lte quickly enough.

tell me, why should it be provider related?
as i understand (coming from OP6, so maybe i missunderstand) the normal firmware will be updated, no matter what provider information you have, as it comes with da different kind of "firmware" package? so everybody should (in a perfect world) get it as fast as the others?

There's the Manufacturer provided firmware (which would be nice to have) and then there's the Carrier provided version with their own "tweaks" in.
The manufacturer (in this case Huawei) will supply it to the Carriers who then add on their own customisations.

Sounds like we should get some Sim cards for the fastest carrier update. If a phone is sold sim free it shouldn't have any kind of carrier tweaks

I have an unlocked UK find X2 pro and I don't feel like going through the switching region process just to enable the dual sim. I already purchased a dual sim tray for this.
So I found this old reddit to enable this manually for a Samsung phone using tasker:
https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/b0a1o5
Now I would the need the help of someone with a dual sim OPPO phone (probably better if its a X2 Pro) and monitoring enabling the second sim with adb shell settings list system
Any volunteer?
This probably worked on older android and is samsung specific. Chances of this working are really low but I guess someone could give it a try.
But, I did notice if you unlock your phone using the method in "Change region" thread instead of actually changing your region try typing "*#*#4636#*#*", go into "Phone Information" and see if you can toggle "Enable DSDS"

That's after unlocking the phone with the "Sec5.exe" way from the "Change region.." thread right? Not talking about SIM unlocked(international) phones.
The change happens after you select another region not after you unlock the phone using this method so if you wanna keep everything the same you just unlock it without switching to Singapore.
Oh I didnt know there were 2 types of unlocking. My phone is SIM unlocked yes I bought it from an official UK retailer directly.
Would this void the warranty?

The problem is, I am not in the UK, I ordered the phone from the UK, but in my country, we don't have an OPPO service center.. :/ So that's why I am asking for a self-service way to do it. I have installed custom ROMs to phones before, I quite know how to do things here and there.
@AnthonyMkD even if there are no actual Oppo Service centers where you live there probably are some sort of service providers/companies which act as Oppo's official service partners and do all the repairs for them. They should be able to do that. It's the same where I live.
