Critical Bluetooth audio lag - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Ahoy good people of XDA,
Before the m20p I had OnePlus 5,
With the OnePlus I used Huawei freebuds.
Everything was great, good times
"What a Time to be Alive",
6 months ago I bought Mate 20 Pro, have to say it wasn't cheap, the phone is amazing.
But I can't deal with the audio lag I'm having on Bluetooth with the freebuds, unlike the OnePlus, it's working like sh**t,
Checked with huawei services and no help from then at all.
Anyone having this bug or maybe fixed it?
**Already formatted my device, no fix**
**Already tried to play with the codec, no fix**
**Want to throw the phone to the sea**
Please help

Bluetooth Audio Cutting In & Out

Good day everybody! My Mate 10's bluetooth when connected to my car's audio has been cutting in and out consistently without fail. there isn't one song that could play smoothly, this doesn't happen with my S8. any thoughts? Thanks!
easy, get the s8.
I recently bought Huawei Mate 10 from official Huawei store on AliExpress. It does not show Dual VoLTE option. Man - I am doomed only dual 4g.
Huawei - Why???? The seller really duped me as I asked this question before buying phone. The answer was diplomatic - "yes, it will support 4g in India"

Eventually it seems VoLTE and VoWiFi should come in 131 update for c636.
XDA did not allow me to post the link as I joined recently. Simply open AliExpress app and search for "Huawei Online Store"
(from AliExpress Android)
Just waiting for VoLTE update. Then this will the perfect phone!!
same bluetooth issues with my car also... i am very pissed.

My z2 force sounds really nice and clear through Bluetooth. The V30+ sounds horrible.
bad optimisations i/m sure... I have also an s7 edge and it works fine....

thank you for confirming.
it's sad though because the hardware is really nice.
Bluetooth audio is really ****ty as of right now.
There is a topic over it but the situation is the following:
SBC codec causes distortion
AAC codec is 100% broken
Aptx and Ldac I haven't tested yet.

Sad story, but this topic seems to be over malfunctioning BT audio. ?
With my wife's P20 Pro there are no issues.
But now with the lastest firmware is even worse, it's chopping every few seconds.
shame on you Huawei.

Mate 10 Pro vs Oneplus 6

Which one should i get? They're roughly the same price in my country. I need a phone for at least 2-3years.
Well depends what you want from your phone.
I see a lot of advantages on the OP6.
The SD845 overall performance seems to be better than the Kirin 970, you have the option of 255GB for internal storage, besides the software is less intrusive style wise but also functionality wise.
But, the Mate has better cameras, it's a Android Enterprise Recommended phone, that means that you will get at least one security patch every 90 days for 2 years at least and at least 1 major OS update.
Other hardware features are better water protection and USB 3.0.
That said OnePlus track record of updating isn't that bad, but there's no promises from their side.
And last but not least, if you have any desire to do stuff with custom roms, rooting, etc... You'll wanna go OnePlus.
oneplus updating is spectacular.
I have the 3T and The 5T and both are still updated at least twice a month.
If battery life is the main concern, then the Mate 10 Pro may well be the better bet. I can get consistent 6+ hours of Screen on Time and mostly a full day of hard usage. It's about the only thing keeping me from staying with my M10P though. I got a deal that means I will pay significantly less for it than an upfront OP6 too. It may well be that the Mate 10 Pro will drop further as we get towards the Mate 20 launch in October.
The camera is good, but tends to over do the processing when in auto mode. It does have one of the best Pro modes though if you like to fiddle.
If you do get a Mate 10 Pro, make sure its a C432 model or one of the ones that are regularly updated - my C782 model is still on March 1st security update and I have no confidence that will improve once the Mate 20 is out.
If you have any interest in custom ROMS after that 2 years when you still have perfectly functioning hardware, then OnePlus is almost certainly the way to go - it seems to be one of the few flagships left that has a very active ROM development and Huawei have now shot down any claim to interest in that by withdrawing bootloader unlock.
I 'upgraded' from a OnePlus One running an 8.1 custom ROM that had worked perfectly except for the poor battery life - until it fell in the toilet! (Actually a replacement speaker later and it's still working fine and on a later version of Android that my M10P). There will certainly be options to run the latest software on a OnePlus 6 in 3 years, whereas you will likely be out of luck with the Mate 10 Pro. The camera sucked on the OPO, but I gather it is at least acceptable on the OP6
Software may not be a key concern - actually I can live with EMUI and it has some nice extra 'assistance' touches, but it also has flaky bluetooth in my experience and the over eager power management drives me crazy trying to use things like Tasker.
tl;dr - If you need the battery, go with Mate 10 Pro - if you don't care about the best camera possible, or ever want to go the custom rom route, go with OP6.
One plus 6 hands down, save your self the head ache of Huawei
340 $ for Mate 10 Pro
550 $ for Oneplus 6
Witch one would you choose?

For a price difference like that Mate 10 pro
didnt use OPO but did use xiaomi mi note 2 phone and now bought mate 10 pro, I also didnt know and have second thoughts about buying OPO 6 or M10pro. so at the end bought M10pro and so far can say the phone is ok but considering rooting installing TWRP and custom roms seems to be little complicated because, after reading xda, bunch of people have bricked they device. now I like to have rooted phone and installed custom rom, lineage os or Aosp extended, but that is not gona happen on this phone so if you like to have rooted phone and have custom roms buy OPO6 definitely, its not everyting in camera. PS emui is quite lagy some times and still needs improvement.
if it matters... the op5t has bluetooth issues with fitbit, not sure if op6 changed but likely issues remain
not sure if fitbit would make a difference, but who knows what other devices may or may not work well. op5t also has issues with car bluetooth, mate10 has none of the issues with the two devices.

usb3.1 iirc
I also bought the mate10pro, big mistake! It was on a pre 8.0.0.146 version with magisk and twrp running fine. Installed xposed, got a bootloop, did a erecovery rescue to factory emui 8, after that applied the latest ota to emui 9 which was the worst thing to do. Got the new bootloader and because the original was unlocked the phone bricked. Back to erecovery and no rescue... tried everything but no luck, so now it's worthless. It may have a very niche leica camera but that won't do any good if you can't recovery the phone. Huawei sucks in every way, just look at how they killed any development other than their own.
So now I ordered the OP 6 which has a very shiny development community, I won't have any worries about being stuck with another paperweight, and if I want a good camera I'll pickup my nikon fullframe dslr, no phone beats that.
I wouldnt go with Huawei if you rely on mods. No real custom rom beside openkirin. No real custom kernel. V4A not working, Dolby Atmos works only on oreo based custom roms. You dont get unlock code from Huawei anymore. You can grab your unlock code via paid services. Alone, when the partition oeminfo gets damaged and your bootloader is locked, your unlock code will not work, erecovery will not work etc DC could fix such bricks but now after the .b145 c432 firmware, they patched it. After B146 you cant downgrade. No real/outdated kernel sources. I recommend this device only for normal conusmers, who dont intend to root this phone. I left Samsung because of adding the knox warranty void string, now leaving Huawei because of the reason I told above.
Oneplus phones have very high SAR values... Be careful
Mate 10 (non-pro) would really last you 2-3yrs because amoled burn (it really is an issue) wouldn't affect you.
I have a mate 10 (non pro) I am trying to sell. Mint condition with the fancy smart flip case. I have a note 9 now so don't need it. Currently has an armorsuit clear skin on it.

are you lucky with your decision? I have a Mate 10 Pro and want to get a 1+6 or 1+6t and some personal feedback (accu for example) would be great.

Some years later, a reply. YES, I went to OP6 (I still have it working) and later to OP7pro (also still working) and now I'm on OP8 with AICP17.1 (android 12) fully loaded, rooted all working perfectly. Never regretted the change to OnePlus, excellent value for money and excellent support community, very recommendable for custom roms etc. If ever you brick it (happend a few times to me) you get your MSMtool out and bring it back to life in no time.
btw, my mate10pro was still within guarantee, so I sent it back to the seller, took a few months because they tried to recover it, didn't work and I got a full refund.

Should i get one ?

Hello every one ,
Im considering to get pocofone, and i wanted to hear some suggestions from you guys that are actualy using the phone.
Currently i have Mia1 on pie update , with google camera , and ota working , i did it back on nougat and since than i've been quite happy with this phone and still am , so i didn't play with custom roms with it . Before i had a nexus 6 , so i love stock android. My moms S4 jfltexx is dying , so i will give her my MiA1.
And the only phone worth it on a 350$ phone right now for me seems pocofone. Only concern for me is miui but im open to it ,as i've never tried it before.
How has been the experience to you guys. I've seen a lot of reviwes on youtube, and for me it checks most of the boxes, but hearing from users here on xda is always better :victory:
I mostly use my phone for youtube, reddit and xda , and randomly play pubg with friends, no other real gaming. And i love HEADPHONE JACK :laugh:
Sorry for long post , and thanks for any suggestion.

Go for it, if you like MIUI cool, if you don't flash Pixel Experience rom and you get stock Android back
Better get Asus Zenfone 5z or 1+6T If you can spend a bit more.
I have Pocophone for over 1 month now and i love this phone. Some experience touch issue lag, but i don't, the stock camera is not that good indoor or low light, but you can install google camera apk with night mode here from xda and the image quality will be flagship level, video quality with stock camera is good with 960 fps slow mo, 4k 60 fps and 1080p image stabilization. The screen is good, build quality is good, MIUI is good looking in my opinion and has some extras that stock android doesn't have, before this i had a nexus 5x and i was a fan of stock android.
I moved from samsung note 4 to pocophone and i must say i will never again buy samsung. I love pocophone i think is best value phone , go for it

[HELP] Huawei P10 Lite didn't want detect a headphones

Hello xda community.. I have one little problem with my jack or idk. If I plug headphones to my phone (jack 3,5), it play music via speakers.. Where can be problem ? before 2-3 days works well and today. I have a P10 Lite (try a lot of ROMs but on every ROM didn't work).
One note : I try a app "Lesser audiswitch" only then it works well, but how it's possible ? Thanks for any help, idea to fix it.
It not problem with headphones because on another PC, phones works well !

Bluetooth video delay

I just bought the Haylou GT1 Pro and is impossible to use them to watch a video with P30 Pro the audio lag from the video is so, sooo bad. Tested with S10 plus and sounds much better. I'm still on 9.1 185 ... Anyone knows how to fix it?
Thanks
Currently, the only way to properly use Bluetooth devices is if they support the aptx codec as its the fastest codec and the P30pro is really bad at handling the other codecs.

buy better one... i have jabra elit 65 active and there is no lag and any other problems... they was also perfect for my old p10, now i am on p30pro
But after test with S10 plus seems that the problem is not the device !
Same here on mate20 pro with Huawei freebuds.
Very very bad delay,
With my old OnePlus no delay at all.
Huawei devices are crappy with Bluetooth.

Second this,
I have Sennheisers True Wireless and its next to 0 lag as well.
While it may work better with the S10 the problem is more the headset using codecs that the S10 may support but the P30 Pro does not.

am also using SONY srs-xb30 bluetooth speaker,no lags... in car on bluetooth (also for videos) no lags... i really didn't have any problems so far... try to find some device with bt 5.0 and try it... just to see is there any lag
No issues with my bose QC35s but I did get lag with my Samsung galaxy buds.
Hey, do you know if this is fixed with the android 10 update?
Go in developer options and change the Bluetooth audio codec.That will fix the Audio lag.

The GT1 pro is 5.0... I found a post here in the forum where a guy with those Bose $200 + bought a p30 pro and was complaining about the same thing !
