Considering the severe lack of support and updates on the matter 10 pro for the USA, would you consider buying another Huawei device?

Yes, but I will not buy the US version even if it comes without warranty, I just learned that I'll never buy a US version on any Android phone, for example, Samsung phones cannot unlock the bootloader on the US version so you can't root it or install other rom, and you will get updates months after the international version, same thing happens to LG about the updates, I have the Mate 10 Pro, and I will probably buy the Mate 20 Pro on March, if there is a US version I won't be buying it
Their decision to stop providing keys for unlocking the bootloader means that I wouldn't buy Huawei again, really. They have nothing to gain from it apart from locking users into their system, and I can't stand that sort of thing in a product I bought and own.

Agreed. I just don't feel in screen fingerprint scanner are smart. The one on the back is perfect on the 10 pro. I looked at the P20 pro, but really hate the fpr being on the front. Feels note 5 ish

I have no real reason to unlock the bootloader tbh. I haven't rooted a phone in about 4 years. Note 5 I rooted for hotspot haCk. That was it other than that, no real reason for me to
I won't be buying Huawei again until they get rid of the excessive background task killer, that causes problems for a number of my apps and widgets. I love the hardware, but really not keen on the software

I still don't see how people have this issue. I have no issue with background as being killed. Maybe check the launch setting inside battery in settings and make sure it's set to manually manage them.
Using Mate 10, never gonna buy Huawei again.
No promised updates (digital zoom, arcore, volte in my country, emui 8.1, camera update, disgrace front camera etc)
Idiotic background killing for battery stats (notification problems, dont care how many hour i am seeing at battery page if phone lacks basic job like app notification.)
Not using it for first time but i tought some things changed after 2 years and got my response, this is last time for sure...

I guess we must use the phone differently
It's better than it used to be, in that things sometimes work now. Yes, all the apps with problems are allowed to auto launch and run in the background, and even have 'ignore battery optimisations' set. They all worked just fine on all my previous phones.

I will probably just buy only Huawei from now on, just not the U.S. versions.
Just got my new Honor 8X Max in the mail and it's the chinese version (I'm living in Europe). The model number is ARE-AL00. I got the GMS installer and the Google Installer v2 and now I can open the play store, but I can't use it to install or uninstall apps, it just gets stuck on the "(un)installing" screen. When I try to install the Play store from a separate apk I usually get a program which I can't even open. And I've tried this with and without the software update. If anyone has got the Play store working on this phone I'd love to know how you did it.
Overall I'm pretty upset with this phone. I didn't realize I was getting the Chinese version and of course it comes with all kinds of censorship and ability restrictions, I spend like 10 hours trying to figure out how to root it and it turns out Huawei decided to make unlocking the bootloader impossible only a few months ago and funkyhuawei (with their insane prices) can't even do anything for a Qualcomm chipset so I'm S.O.L. I don't think the Chinese company I bought from will give a refund after the box is opened so I'm basically out my $300 if I want another phone. I was excited to be getting such great hardware for such a low price but the lack of functionality and customizability makes it a complete waste.

Same situation here, here is what I did to get Play Store works on my Honor 8X :
- Turn on the "Authorize unknown source apps install thing"
- Install GMS installer to get the Play Store works
- Install Gboard to get rid of the chinese keyboard everywhere.
But still, I'm searching for the Global Firmware and according to a Honor / Huawei Customer Agent, they do not allow firmware downloads anymore.
Hope this can help other people in the same case...

Thanks a lot for the help. My more-tech-savvy friend encouraged me to use F-droid and Yalp and that has been working fine so I'm going to give that a try before insisting on getting Google back...I emailed Huawei customer support about unlocking the bootloader and received an interesting response:
"We kindly inform you that in order to achieve a better user experience, Huawei has decided to terminate the unlock code application service. If your device is already rooted, we inform you that it no longer counts with warranty or device support.
Also, Huawei USA does not provide codes to unlock the bootloader under any circumstance. We kindly inform you that this action can potentially "brick" the device or in other words, renders the device completely unusable and voids the warranty service and device support. We have no control over how unlocking the bootloader will affect your device."
I'm emailed Huawei USA just cause I'm American (living in Sweden though), but this response suggests that maybe if I email Huawei Sweden or China that they will give me one? Gonna give it a try and see what happens.
Also my original post may have been a bit reflexive, I need to give this phone a chance. I remember thinking my last phone (Galaxy S5) was pretty stupid for a few weeks, I eventually just got over it.

Yes the camera is good quality from what I can tell and the battery life is great. But it is a huge phone, if you don't want something so big then you should probably get the 8X instead of the 8X Max.

This is my very own guide on how to download Play Store on Honor 8X: https://www.oscrunch.com/2018/11/17/google-play-store-on-honor-8x-and-8x-max/
I guess you will have to use a different version of GMS installer. Also, this process requires you to install one more application.
Try this and let me know how it goes. It should work perfectly fine.

Yes, you nailed It!
Speaking for myself, I can say that Today I'm a happy owner of a Chinese Honor 8X, but in the past I was in trouble because I was not able to find the *right* version of GSM installer that fits to me (JSN-AL00a).
It was hard to clear all those Chinese apps from my device, but now I have a very strong phone with a high level of performance.

That's my pleasure Glad that this guide has helped.
I had issue on installing Google play. Package installer block me from installing gmsinstaller.apk. what you do to get around it is thru adb. Make sure that you turn off "monitor app install by adb" in developer option or it won't work. If you need more detail let me know.
Hi
Now my honor 8x max has all Google App work fine

Same here.. please help, Google Apps stopped working :/ - Google Play, YouTube, almost all of them..

I currently have the huawei mate 20 x. But I was thinking of selling it to get the cheaper in price 8x max. I got a few questions...
1) Did playstore and google stop working completely on the 8x max? Is there a solution?
2) Will the phone have issues in the future?
3) Will it get Emui 10 in the future?
4) Do you suggest I get it?
plzzzzzzzzz help my phone apps not work at all after an update
Hey Everyone,
Same problem here, it looks like the last update somehow wiped access/rights for the Google apps, that are now not functional (maps and maps based apps like citymapper/Uber and so on, YouTube, Gmail, G agenda, G drive, etc)
I had installed GMS when I received my phone from Hong Kong, to install the Google apps, and it worked fine. But reinstalling it won't do a thing as it has to do with the latest update.
Having a look around, it looks like the only solution is to downgrade it or install a new rom, but the problem is that for that you would need to unroot the phone if I'm correct. But this action is not as easy as on western terminals, at least not free as far as I could see online.
It seems like this problem is only from Chinese originating terminals, so it shouldn't be an issue if you get a phone that was for the western market and should work fine, but I'm not 100% sure. Emui10 neither, but is unlikely.
Finally I contacted customer service and they told me that Chinese phones are not made for the western countries, that they don't provide global ROMs and that they deter people from flashing phones as it could "damage" the terminal... BS.
All in all, it's a great phone, but now I'm left without any solution and few to no developers to come up with a solution as it's kind of a "niche problem". There are probably solutions from Chinese Dev but of no help for us.
The lack of solutions online makes me realise that I have to probably have to get a new phone to carry on using Google apps, which we all became quite dependant from.
Let's wait and see if any dev comes up with something, but I doubt...
Guys. I am planning to buy a gaming phone and 2 choices - Redmagic 5G and Black shark 3 pro. I am slightly more attracted to BS3 because of larger screen, and physical triggers but slightly concerned about few features, or lack of it. Could you please help me with few queries?
1) NFC - If I convert to global rom, would NFC work? BS3 global version (official), will come later this week but is super expensive in my country (S$1050 for RM5g vs. S$1500 for official global BS3 pro / S$1300 for china rom BS3 pro
2) What are the chances of root and custom roms (unpaid) coming on XDA? I definitely would want a global rom on my phone with root access.
3) Current owners, do you find the phone durable? I am hearing some complaints about the RM5g already (screen burn, dirt accumulating in the internal phone fan etc.)
Thank you so much for your help!

1. No NFC even if you change to global rom or buy global version
2. very low to 0 without paying
3. Dont buy red magic, I had very very very bad time with the red magic 3, I returned it to them and refunded
Where did you read that black shark 3 pro will be globally released by the end of this week?

The shopkeeper I deal with has pre ordered some sets, which he will get by this week. Probably EU edition, supports all bands and Google installed out of the box.
May i know what issues you had with RM3? I am slightly bent towards BS3 but almost 40% higher cost (for global) and lack of custom dev support makes me nervous.

Hopefully we can flash it to global some day. They really f*cked up the global release.
- First they say on May 8
- Then end of May.
- Then release the global model on June 4 exclusively on Shopee Malaysia
- Now they say late June for Europe and other countries.

yep, because on BS3Pro you must unlock the bootloader and flash twrp and then flash the global rom from there, I was told you get Otas by IMEI (its IMEI locked) and also the global rom that you will flash isnt the first global rom released (official global rom is 20.2.28) and you will flash 20.2.24 so you gonna experience some bugs from that leaked version

Sure, will do that after work. Why do you need that?
MoreLocale trick worked and got the apps in my language now. Most bloadware you can unistall by phone. I only used the bloadware trick to remove the standard browser.
There is still something that blocks notifications. I thought it was the security app (that was the fix for Chinese Huawei/Honor phones), but when removed the problem was still there.

Were you able to change the language of the AppStore with this trick? Also out of curiousity, what app did they use to install google services on your phone?

Seems what i have found, it has some bug in settings (i suppose) because have always "setting" notification and can't even to get myself to HotSpot option - it says Settings app stopped working... This is driving me crazy, i need hotspot, hope new global update come out soon >.<

Lol mine is exynos here in the UK
My Duel 2 gets delivered tomorrow, UK model.
I hope to get a few updates at least, stable 11 with a few gaming features is all I ask.
I'll keep it for 2 years max anyway.
I will be using as my daily driver coming from an Oppo Find X2 Pro

have UK model too, delivered last week... This phone looks pretty interesting (saying this as user "old ROG 2", but what i honestly dislike is.... Extreme temperatures... i tried to activate rampage mode - this phone is extremely HOT!!!! Tested while 5-10 mins playing Celtic Heroes (144 fps - seems there's no cap so ok, i got it those temps will raise higher...) - 57 degrees of C and it still raising.... Phone is HOT, well, it's summer in my room i have about 38 degrees, but still.... Thinking about buying cooler -> FunCooler Pro 2 - which according some tester from YT is right now the most TOP... Other thing "air triggers are... well honestly much weird... They work great, but that "sensitive" spot is kinda meh and compared with ROG2 it's total downgrade.... so today i ordered some triggers on eBay and will see how it looks like to play with them.... And last thingie i noticed is their android modificated system.... I don't like it, it's weird and customization is well hard to say, but annoying in some things... I wonder in future how i will see that buy of mine if it was worth it or not.... Personally i think "gaming" phones still need some time, like about 2-3 years yet

Yeh mine just keeps saying check for details the next day ect if they mess around much more I'll just cancel it
I've also heard bad stories about the inport fees not been paid if that's the case I'll definitely be cancelling
Been on the phone to both companies and ups saying then need a copy of the invoice from lenovo before it passes customs
Well I've finally got the device after 4 weeks and it's quite nice a few software bugs which I hope at least they fix them in software updates as that's all it needs (things like alarms not working and notifications doesn't seem to be working) does anyone have any fixes for these?
