Making my Mate 10 Pro look like a P20 (or P20 Pro) - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

I have an app used for medical care that I would desparately like to get to work on my Mate 10 Pro. Unfortunately, the only Huawei it is compatible to is the P20 (or P20 Pro). Are there any ways to fool the app (it's already installed) into thinking it's running on a P20?
I found this thread here that seems to address it, but I'm not certain if I'm on the right track.

If this is the right track, great. Are there any other known ways or apps that can get me to the needed goal?
Many thanks...

Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29) camera sensor?

Does anyone ever wonder, which camera sensor is Mate 10 Pro using? I'm not rooted and it seems like Huawei didn't wrote OEM into basic code so AIDA64 could read it.
Mate 10 Pro picture quality is average at best and it looks like the actual sensor is pretty small, some source are claiming that it's IMX286 (RGB) like the P10 have had and that's like 1/2.9".
If you have rooted Mate 10 Pro would you mind to look for camera_info in ES Explorer? Or any chance to find out differently? Seems like there aren't many question about this, even on Google i didn't found exact sensor.
Thanks.

Is it worth "upgrading" from Honor 8?

Hello all,
I know this may be a broad question but thought I'd give it a shot nontheless...
I have an Honor 8 which (supposedly?) is getting Oreo in the coming weeks. I've been looking at some mid-range budget phones, primarily P20 and P20 lite. I'm leaing towards lite though cus of it's 3.5mm jack.
Anyway, Honor 8 still seems to be a great phone. Is the upgrade justified with P20 lite? Does is have all the fancy AI-camera-stuff? Can the back-button (fingerprint reader) be physically clicked? Or should I just expect more of the same, just a tad better... Any feedback is appreciated.

Freebuds pro 2 Compatibility

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!

Mate 20/pro or S10E

Huawei will release the mate 20 series soon in my country (idk what took them so long) should I get the pro model and assume they no longer have screen issues with the new batch or just get the regular mate 20 to be safe? I'm also considering the S10e but I'm so confused.
If camera and battery charging speed is important for you go for mate
Speakers screen and if you play games go for samy snapdragon version
Simple answer Mate 20 Pro
Not even a fair comparison
I'm obviously biased as I own the Mate 20 pro, but that's not even a fair comparison.
If you said S10+ I would have understood, but not the E.
hardware huawei, software samsung
Thanks all, my biggest worry is the screen of mate 20 pro, now that I know many suffered issues I'm a bit paranoid apart from that I would definitely get the pro model, guess I'll have a talk with Huawei when they release it here and make sure if everything is okay.
Samsung is a bit overpriced where I live S10E and mate 20 pro have same pricing and that's about my budget. Whichever phone I get I'll keep it for 3 years at least so I don't want to rush into it.
For now I think the regular mate 20 is the safest option and certainly the cheapest but I see no one talking about it.
Also I'm not into edge screens that's why I considered the S10E, I can get S10/S10+ but only through contract. And I'll have to spend more on good screen protector and cases, that's why I'm not considering getting either.

What have I missed? (been playing with a OP7Pro)

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)?
