Can anyone confirm if the mate 20 pro works with daydream VR and how well it works?
No, unless it's rooted
This is ridiculous. I bought the freebuds hoping to get the best experience from having same branded phone and earphones. The results were disappointing to say the least. The buds sounded just ok on the phone and i thought i'll update them and hope for the best. To my surprise the mate 20 pro could not find the freebuds to update them. I then decided to try with my HTC u11 Plus. Not only did it recognize them immediately and managed to update them but the sound quality while using my HTC was far superior and i was actually impressed by the freebuds. I then swapped back to the mate 20 pro and was still unable to get them recognized by the freebud app and the sound quality was once again just ok at best. I did have the freebud app set to manual in app launch with everything enabled and still nothing.
The app doesn't work for some reason, I updated the firmware via a different device
Same issue
Hi,
I can confirm the same issue. They need to update the Freebuds Assistant app big time. It's really bad to start with, and now doesn't work with the latest Huawei flagship(Mate 20 pro)!
I'm waiting for Freebuds 2 from China, I jsut hope they'll update the Google Play app to support it, I think I've read something about a Freebuds 2 app, but that was reported as being only available in the Huawei China own appstore.
It doesn't work with the Mate 20 Pro, I tried on my old Nexus 10 tablet didn't work, then I tried it on a Lenovo tablet and it didn't update but said " now you have the latest version"

Hey Guys
So I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro, purchased in the UK.
I am very interested in the Freebuds 2 Pro however as I'm sure your aware they aren't available global yet, only a Chinese version released.
I don't mind ordering the Chinese versions but I just wanted to check if there are any known compatibility issues with a non-Chinese Mate 20 Pro.
I've read about compatiblity issues with phones that do not have Bluetooth 5.0 (Mate 20 Pro does so that's ok), read about issues with the software version having to be above 171 for the HWA to work (my mate 20 pro is over this version).
Is there anything else I need to consider before I make the purchase? Is there going to be an issue with languge in some way? I know there's no display but possibly voice commands or recognition issues for the English language?
Any help would be great, I'm guessing I'm not the only one wondering on a global release date.

Hey
I do have the freebuds 2 pro and a LYA-L29 with 187 firmware.
They fit perfectly with one another.
No issues and better than with my P20 pro.
I really can recommend them.
I think the only disadvantage is the short battery life from about one hour.
But they are very quick rechargeable with its box.

Thanks Orlando, my mate 20 Pro is LYA-L09, not sure what the difference is between the LYA-L29? is it only dual sim difference? I'm running with 187 firmware too, so this is good to hear.
I assume you are located outside of China right?

Yes, it is the dual functionality only.
And also yes. Not in China ?
That is the reason why it is really difficult for me to use the companion app to update the firmware on the buds ?, but thank God there is Google Lens ?

I can't seem to get mine to pair with my P30 Pro. I press the button, white led flashes, nothing appears in the bluetooth list of devices. Any ideas?
Edit: 10 mins later they just appeared with no issue. All seems fine now!
I recently bought some Freebuds 2 Pro, So far i'm impressed with them. They work great with my UK Mate 20 Pro, and i'm on 9.0.0.210.
Audio quality is excellent, but not noticed a difference with HWA turned on.
How is call quality with freebuds 2 pro especially in noisy environments? And what is bone id anyway!
I deserted to the dark side and was using a OnePlus 7 Pro 5G for the last couple of months.
Luckily I kept my Mate 20 Pro, as I'm now utterly fed up with the 7 Pro and it's lack of basic functionality vs. the Mate 20 Pro
So, what have I missed while I was away (I've kept up to date enough to get 9.1.0 on my phone, but haven't checked for the .310 update yet)?
Worth the upgrade from the mate 20 pro to the pixel 6? I'm torn. I can't make up my mind to go with the 6 (standard version), the S21 (standard version), or just stick with the mate 20 pro for another year. They all seem pretty comparable?
