Freebuds 2 Pro: hot to enable HWA? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Accessories

Today I received my Freebuds 2 Pro from China (I'm swiss). Everything seems to work well with my Mate 20 Pro, but I can't see any evidence HWA codec is getting used. In developer options, just SBC and AAC can be selected, it's on AAC on default, and pressing the "Enable additional codecs" doesn't do anything. The HWA-related stuff stays greyed out, and yes, I'm connected to the earphones and I'm playing stuff.
On the few english pages I could find around, the product description states this: "Only compatible with EMUI 9.0 or above phones which support HWA , need to turn on high quality music key". Alright, but where is this key supposed to be found? It's just to be found on chinese firmwares? Or am I just missing something? The manual, available on the chinese Huawei site and including english, doesn't tell anything about HWA or how to enable it.

try to use Fiio music player, there is separate HWA on/off switch embedded in the player. try and see if that works

I'm still on B153, no 171 so far in Europe. I'll try the suggested music player today.

I'm interested as well, please keep us informed

No noticeable sound improvements enabling HWA on that app, it's unclear if it does in fact really enable HWA or not, no apparent signs of it being used looking at Bluetooth settings while playing stuff with it. Let's see what the newest firmware brings (still not available here in Switzerland).

I booked a HF2P as soon as I saw this https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/themes/freebuds-2-companion-t3888654
I just needed a confirmation that HWA works on 171. Also don't invest on DACs because M20P supports almost all BT codecs, wait for 171 update.
Once I receive the product, I will give my reviews.
Thanks.

You can activate it on the Bluetooth connection part.
I only got the flypods pro, but they are almost the same. My freebuds 2 pro are on the way [emoji41]

Yes, it's 100% the same. Flybuds and Freebuds have 99% the same software. The Flybuds got a few more updates. Since yesterday the freebuds, after an update, are nearly the same.
Can't wait to get the 171 update on my mate 20 pro.

I hope updates get deployed uniformly across all geographies. I heard that some are still on 118 and 126, and some are already on 184.

Exactly, I hope so too. I am urgently waiting for the update because i hope it adds more features to the freebuds/Flybuds then just the HWA Options. For Europe, we should get a Januar Patch soon which will be 171 or higher.

I understand.
btw January patch is 182, I am on 171 and it is December patch.

Let's hope that it comes soon. I have the guess that this Bone Voice ID settings in the settings App also comes with 171 and higher.
Same for the prompt which comes when you connect the headset (open the box).
That's how it looks like:

Then it must be a Chinese only thing. I saw multi people posting this on Chinese forums and it works for them.
It's a shame we did got this. Maybe someone can make a customs app for it, I can bring the UI elements. Coding isn't my strength.

HD2 Mango [Beta1] PREVIEW[Download Link]

Ok...so for all of you who have been sending me PM's for the test build if its perfect or not. I shall post a small video to show you YES !! it is Mango Beta 1.
Download Link has been added at the bottom of the post
Couple of things to mention:-----
1) Its still Beta
2) The Marketplace doesn't work
3) HTC Hub doesn't come pre installed and also searching the marketplace
gives no results
4) Mango is said to support HTML5 but this build unfortunately doesn't as
shown us in the Mango HTML5 Speed Reading.
5) Nothing I can think of.....
By user: GameDr04
1) As with any unlocked phone, the APN isn't pre-programmed into the phone so it has to be added. It's a LITTLE annoying since T-Mobile has three from which to choose. All three show "3G" in the status bar but only one truly connects. It was epc.voicestream.com
2) Toggling the data radio causes the phone to freeze then reboot about 60% of the time.
3) As mentioned, the Marketplace doesn't work when you try to install something. But it does work for multimedia - I bought some music last night without issue.

Remember the fall release of Mango by Microsoft with more than 500 new features ??
backlashsid, I'd like to add to your list, if I may. I'm running Beta 2 on my HD2 at the moment. There are some additional problems.
1. as with any unlocked phone, the APN isn't pre-programmed into the phone so it has to be added. It's a LITTLE annoying since T-Mobile has three from which to choose. All three show "3G" in the status bar but only one truly connects. For me, it was epc.voicestream.com
2. Toggling the data radio causes the phone to freeze then reboot about 60% of the time.
3. As you mentioned, the Marketplace doesn't work when you try to install something. But it does work for multimedia - I bought some music last night without issue.
4. .....there was something else and for the life of me, I can't remember what it was! If I do, I'll post it.
Overall, I LOVE MANGO! The groups feature is amazing. And messaging: above and beyond. The whole OS just seems snappier.

thanks for the tip !!! i shall add them to the first post !!
Oh! I remembered! I can't seem to get MMS to work - at all. The messaging service just says "Can't sent. Contact your service provider for settings". I've tried all of T-Mobile's published APNs but none of them works.
//edit
OK. I figured it out.
I had to DevUnlock my DFT Mango installation through Microsoft (not with Chevron but rather legitimately). Then, I could side-load HTC's Connection Setup XAP. Running that solved my data and MMS problems.
Also, the DevUnlock allowed me to upgrade from DFT's Beta 1 to MS's Beta 2.
Happy testing!

It's a little bit of typo mixed in with my buried hopes and dreams.

That was the e-mail I got from Microsoft a few days ago. I read that as Beta 2... Then, when I got my hands on DFT's release, I assumed it was Beta 2. But now that I've actually LOOKED at the versioning, I realized that DFT's is older.
What kills me the most is I CAN'T FIND THAT E-MAIL ANYMORE! I have that one picture 'cause I sent it to a friend of mine but the e-mail itself is GONE.

Hi, thanks for the review.
I'm interested to know if there is such a feature on Mango that would let me insert quick replies in the middle of a particular sms thread or conversation? And if there is any way to edit or create "reply" templates...
Thanks, would appreciate your feedback
I just looked and I couldn't find one. There's a chance it could be in there but I just couldn't find it...
It seems like in the video multitouch issue is fixed? Or is it still buggy as in previous version (Nodo)?

[ISSUES/Q&A] Umeox x201, TrueSmart, AW-414/420

THIS THREAD IS FOR THOSE WHO ARE PLANNING ON BUYING ONE OF THESE WATCHES...OR USERS THAT WISH TO SHARE BUGS OR PROBLEMS THEY'VE ENCOUNTERED.​
I'll start....
First off, what is the true RAM of the AW-420/1? Ive read up to 2gb (421) and as low as 512mb...
What is the issue with the 201/421s mic? Is it an hardware or software issue? If SW, does Loki's ROM address this?
I am seeing many comments that criticize the IPxx rating...even simple washing of hands will cause leakage....comments?
I read in multiple posts on German based forums that users were able to install 32GB and 64GB SD, class 10 cards in the 421 and they mounted fine. Has anyone confirmed this?
Does anyone know of a vendor or retailer that is willing to ship either the 201, 420, 421 etc. to the US?
Or....is there anyone in EU willing to help US buyers get these watch's delivered overseas?
i can confirm 32 GB installed and working fast with X201

root and security patch 1.02 on AW-420
Hi, I just tried to install lokifishs root and security patch 1.02 on my AW-420 FW 20131230, but this simply doesn't seem to work. While adb is running a lot of error Messages are displayed, saying either that files cannot be found or that they cannot be written.

Hi, I just installed the TalkBack Screen reading accessibility Service from the Play store, but the button to turn it on is simply missing. It seems to be positioned outside the TalkBack introductary message window, but also cannot be focused using an external Keyboard. My hope was that this could eventually be fixed by installing lokifishs root and security patch, but as I wrote in my last post that doesn't work on my AW-420.
I allready read that the Firmware of the AW-414/420 and also the TrueSmart do have issues with the accessibility Services, but couldn't figure this out more detailed. For me accessibility / using TalkBack is essential, so what can be done to solve this?
Many thanks, nilix24

The sound on my to smart for phone calls coming in is great. But when I speak it is just garbled and in audible to the other end. I have held the phone in various positions to little avail. This makes no sense because the voice recognition apps are able to follow me reasonably accurately. Anybody else had this problem and does anyone have any advice?
Also, how do I adjust up and down the volume of the speaker for example for phone calls but for other things as well.

Question: Is it possible to choose your home screen or your last viewed screen as default when you turn on your TS screen? Currently, when you unlock your screen, it goes to the watch. I would prefer it to go to my home android screen.

Everything worked as shown in the pictures, however, once I leave wifi, I still cannot get a location fix using GPS. This means I cannot use cycling apps, google maps, and the damn time is always wrong. :crying: Does anyone know what steps need to be taken after the GPS calibration guide to have GPS working properly?

To be honest, one of two things MUST happen.... Either we get the source and the dev community fixes...or we are given firmware that works. In regards to the BT and GPS, I think this is gonna be about as good as it gets.

Well the bluetooth is working great for me (thanks to all the developers on XDA who made that possible), and BT was the most important thing for me, so I can't complain. Of course, I wish Omate released a properly functioning product, but as a startup company, I do understand having these early issues.

Well the bluetooth is working great for me (thanks to all the developers on XDA who made that possible), and BT was the most important thing for me, so I can't complain.

I have to reset my headset a couple times a day. And my BT speaker has to be paired every time I use it. I don't have much need for the GPS, I feel the screen size hinders most of the apps I use.
Btw, It's not really Omate...the TS has many cousins....it's a combination of Umeox and MTK. Both parties have gotten dirty in this situation.

Good to know about the BT. I have yet to test the BT connection to a wireless speaker/headphones for an extended period of time. There were some posts in the BT tether rom thread that stated that using just the Ensec security patch and not the BT tether rom gave a more stable BT connection.

I'm using Operative. Super battery life...great 3G connection periods and signal. Stable and fast too. With all that the patch offers, I will live with the minor BT disconnects.
I wish that the onboard Mic/speaker get fixed. Without the headset, a SIM equipped TS is basically useless for calls. I've read that a few people have mentioned decent quality...but very few. I actually am quite surprised how bad the quality is for the caller. If needed tho, I found that if you cover the Mic while the caller is talking, this can reduce the echo and distortion.

Pairing a bluetooth headset
Hi,
I got a kickstarter model from eBay, and updated / flashed the ROM to 20140115.153703_V2.0.
On my Bluetooth page, there is no 'Scanning' option to pair a headset.
I can pair the TS to a phone, but not TS to headset.
I have the Omate headset.
Is there a ROM or patch to allow pairing?
I have tethering wrking, but that is WiFi, and i have had the companion working also.
I am now using as a full phone (sim card) and calls are ok, but would really like to pair a headset.

Amazfit Pace new official ROM 2.8

I've just got a notification that a new official international firmware for my Pace is available: 2.8.05. It downloaded OK (with some glitches, but luckily downloader resumes after a "fail", does not start from scratch every time) and has just been installed on my watch.
I am curious what is really new and what just a bug fix. The high version number of firmware might mean major upgrade.
The upgrade adds additional languages, but requires new pairing, that is "scan the QR code" procedure. I wonder if this is really necessary?
Obviously, this pairing procedure wiped my custom watch faces, but retained music and gpx files.
Otherwise, firmware looks stable after a couple of minutes of usage and checking.
New "apps":
Disconnect Alert
Standup Alert (on/off)
New activities:
Tennis
Soccer
Run indoor
Thanks! I am waiting for the Update. No Updates available yet. Which Model do you use? A1612? Which was your Last Firmware before the Update? And Last but not least, where do you come from?
Well the change log was really full of things. It was the biggest I have seen since I bought the watch last August. Besides the things you mentioned it told about new heart rate models and optimization, multiple optimizations of the user interface for speed, battery, etc. new official face watches, new menu with activity history and a couple of other things that I cannot remember right now.
...that notification get me this days. But download ends with error. My Pace ist on 1.3.6 d (Germany)

My last firmware was 1.3.6 (international) and the model is A1612. My current location is Poland.
One more observation - this update wiped my side-loaded apps (while previous ones didn't).
1.3.8a here too.
but, I will update the watch later.

i guess its normal if the new version comes with a newer "os"
it's a full system OTA, it will wipe your watch
I am wondering why no update notification on my pace. Is it because of bootloader unlock?
its a 10% deploy only, not everybody will get it now, it will be randomly deployed only to 10 percent of all pace users.

Disconnect alert ?
Is this what I requested them to do ? Could this be?
I found it most useful on my former Alcatel WatchGo , it's for when you forget your phone and bluetooth disconnects, it said "Don't forget your phone!"
Literally saved me from leaving phone on car hood in the middle of crowded area! (I was carrying stuff, and yeah I know I'm a moron)
Is this - that ?
What? Warning you to take your phone or part about moron?

Then, you may like one of PaceOn app's features. Bluetooth disconnection alert has been available for a long while and can run on any rom version. It doesn't even need any app running on your phone.
After some using I this update as it seems most things are better (even battery, but not sure), but there are some things that got worst. First the sports menu is sluggish compared to all other menus. Secondly I cannot find the menu where it states for how long my watch has gone without charging, etc. It was nice info.

My system call settings are:
Calling accounts.
Voicemail.
Fixed dialing numbers.
Call Forwarding.
Additional settings.
That's it. Am I in the right place (system call settings)?
Also, I am a beta tester, but because I'm not in the US (I'm UK) it doesn't work. I'm hoping it rolls out soon.
More to it....
My Wife and I both have Pixel 2 XL phones. She is not a beta tester, I am. We both have the November update. She has the call screening feature, I do not. I have called Pixel support (Google) and they have nothing. The best answer I have so far that makes sense is it's a server issue and the feature is being rolled out in blocks. I did revert my phone to mirror hers and even did a factory reset. Still no call screening.

I'm beta tester of Google's many apps. I'm also on November update and US English is default language. I'm have latest update version of Google phone app. I did use VPN connect to US and again update the app. But didn't get call screening.
Call screening is for US Only on Pixel owners on today's Phone Beta update,
Well at least it's not just me then, I signed up for beta a few days ago and it hasn't come through for me yet either. Though I did get an update the next day, it didn't enable it.

Hi,
I live in Indonesia, and have the latest phone app (beta) + play services (beta) + google app (beta). I have a Google Fi account (from my prev. US trip) and tried changing it to Google Fi activated the call screen feature. When I switched back to my local operator, it disappears. I think it's based on your SIM card identification.

The only other way I've seen to get it is enabling it through root, which isn't an option for me yet.
Mine did decide to show up, I'm not sure how it just showed up without another update, so maybe it just takes time to get enabled. Or like the previous post, maybe its sim based, in that case someone should probably try taking their sim out and restarting. Might be worth a try, at least.

I was SUPER jealous when I saw this feature announced for the Pixel 3. Later in the article when I learned about the execution of the feature I quickly started to cringe. I was certain that the first time someone screened my call I'd be pissed. I was.
Then I got the feature on my Pixel 2 XL. It's like the backlash to the appointment booking assistant of the future and immediate capitulation by Android to announce the AI presence at the beginning of the call. In my opinion this is a knee jerk reaction that I'm sure trickled down to call screening. I really hope that we're not staring down another Glasshole scenario.
I don't remember anyone losing their mind when we didn't know if someone else was listening to their answering machine. My Dad just recently stopped talking to my voicemail like I could hear him in real time.
Iam from Indo too, just edit the xml and it'll work, i just can't get the transcript feature work

Q&A
Q: Can i use this APP with the Honor Flybuds 2?
A: No, they have their own APP. Since 13th of january, Freebuds 2 APP got updated to 1.0.0.121 and its basicly a copy of the FlyBuds App. I decided to support both. But keep in mind that i dont own the FlyBuds and cant test everything. If errors happen, please report here with a screenshot
Q: The package says it supports HWA Audio codec but i cant enable it.
A: In case of the Mate 20 Pro, you need to be atleast on Firmware 9.0.0.171 to be able to use HWA.
Q: How do i setup Bone ID Voice Recognition?
A: Honestly, no idea. It seems we need a newer firmware on our phone to have access to this feature. I will report if i get more informations.
Q: Does voice commands work?
A: Yes, music and calls can be controlled. Please check the manual on how to do this.
Q: The update of my Freebuds 2 keeps failing.
A: Keep trying, i needed 6 trys until it worked.
Q: Can i use my phones voice assistant instead oft he build in one?
A: Yes, once you activate, for example google assistant, the Freebuds 2 app wont show any voice settings anymore and all the settings has to be done inside the google app.
Q: Can i use voice comands to do payments?
A: As far i know, no. I am still investigating.
Q: I speak, for example spanish, can i make a translation into spanish?
A: Yes, PN me and i send you the string.xml. You can translate it by using Notepad++ for example and send it back to me. I will update the APP then 

Awesome work! Thank you! It was tedious using the translator to use the app each time.
Can anyone comment on music n call quality and does HWA/LHDC codec make any difference?
Please, anyone who has purchased freebud 2/pro, please share your experience on build, comfort, connectivity, audio quality etc..
So cool, thanks!

Try downloading it from your PC. I'm using Chrome with AdBlocker extension and the file does get downloaded at the first click on the download button, no popups, no ads. From the phone, I was flooded with ads as well.
I am waiting to get approval on androidfilehost. Will change it once done. Sorry

I received mine yesterday. Music quality is very good for me (I'm not an expert on this matter). Indoors, the connectivity is awesome. I haven't experienced any issues like sound skips.
Outdoors, I've experienced minor issues having my mobile in my pants' pocket and my hand covering it. But it almost never happened.
Regarding the HWA, I'm using a mate 20 pro LYA-L29 9.0.0.169 and I don't have the inbuilt options in EMUI 9. Waiting for the 9.0.0.171 update which I heard includes the HWA and, in some cases, in-built options outside the freebuds 2 app.
While calling, I have no issues hearing (outdoors) but the person on the line told me that she couldn't hear me very well (Cut audio). I haven't tested it indoors.
The headphones are very comfortable. It fits nice inside the ear so you don't really hear much outside noise at 55% volume. They don't fall easily. I've done some tests like shaking my head fast and running with them and they stay in place.
They feel well-built. They don't have that cheap plastic feeling. It's a shame that they don't have touch controls for skipping songs or changing the volume. On the other hand, they support voice assistant so you can say for instance "Play summertime by my chemical romance" and it will start playing without touching your phone.
They also have voice controls to turn up/down the volume, play/pause, etc.
Battery wise, I haven't used them long enough to drain the battery. I used them continuously for 1 hour and a half without issues. The case charges them so I haven't had the chance of draining them completely.
The wireless charge is awesome. I use the mate 20 pro reverse charge and it's very handy.
I think that covers pretty much everything. If you have any questions I can try to help

Updated to 1.0.0.121
Visually there are no changes. I still belive that we Need atleast 9.0.0.171 Firmware for some feature.
Maybe someone who has 171 on his Mate 20 pro and the Freebuds could confirm or send me some screenshots.
Specially if there are any Buttons for BoneID Settings. HWA Codec Settings are confirmed being there at 171 or higher.
