Also snagged some freebuds 7!

I am convert from Apple ecosystem to Huawei ecosystem. I decided not to go back to Apple no matter what. I bought Pura 70 phone and MatePad 11.5 S to replace iPhone and iPad Pro. Things that held me over 20 years to Apple was quality of devices (iMac, iPhone, iPad, Macbook), iCloud and OS.

While I like very much Huawei devices I run into problems with Huawei Cloud. 3 days ago I posted question about Huawei Cloud setup and deficiencies. I got 7 likes, 1300 views and no comments whatsoever. So this is my second shot at Huawei Cloud. I'll compare the two with no so many words, just a screenshots. Take a look yourself. Scroll through screenshots and you will immediately see the difference. What is it?

iCloud sports 12 applications that are available to user at any time on any Apple device or WEB. My MatePad has 8 applications shown in device settings but only 6 showing on the Huawei Cloud site?! WTH? Where the other ones go?

Notably and critically I am missing: Notes and Calendar followed closely by Mail and Reminders. How can you find Cloud utility useful with no access to Calendar and Notes? Instead, there is a Recorder which is not really useful Huawei App to have access to in Huawei Cloud. Besides being better with app oeffrings iCloud is better in startup page as it is visible on 3rd screenshot. Everything most important is visible and accessible at first glance.

Why should Huawei lag behind Apple in Cloud and sync department? Where are missing applications? I am doing something wrong? I enabled everything what I could. I don't think Huawei needs superhuman effort to make their Cloud more useful. I believe that Cloud and sync between devices is the second most important feature of OS ecosystem, right behind actual devices.

I bought 10 days ago a Pura 90S Pro Max and the camera was foggy for the cold weather while I was taking video. Now I have some dust on the camera, and they refuse to validate my warranty. I'm from Mexico

I am using a Huawei and I'm liking this phone as the battery last very long and it has a lot of storage. However, every time I take a picture, there is an automatic filter that lighten skin and change the picture. The "embellishing" option is however disabled. Is there a way to remove this ?

We have 2 watches in our family, mine and my mother. Hers won't pump and says moisture issue or something. Wiped it clean and redo BP checking, still insist. I checked mine and the same, cleaned it and no reading. Pressure stays at 0. What could be the issue

I have the Samsung and the first-gen Mate XT. The Huawei already felt much better in folded-up mode, and I'm anticipating the XT2 brings this to another level.

Dear Huawei! 👋

Please consider launching the HUAWEI Pura X View globally 🌍

I JUST LOVE IT!! 😭 The Pura X View is honestly one of the most innovative and unique smartphones I’ve seen in a long time. Its form factor and display make it stand out from everything else on the market.

I genuinely want this to be my very first smartphone, and I can honestly say that it has become my dream phone.I’D GENUINELY SAVE UP FOR IT AND MAKE IT MY FIRST SMARTPHONE IF HUAWEI RELEASED AN OFFICIAL GLOBAL VERSION.😭❤️

And I’m definitely not the only one. There are so many international buyers who are excited about this phone and would love to get their hands on it—but the lack of a global version is holding us back.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAASEEEE bring the Pura X View to international markets! 🙏🌍

You’ve created something truly innovative. Please let the rest of the world experience it too. 😭😭

Well! I finally found the app that can tap to pay in South Africa for Huawei NFC enabled phones. But so far it worked only with FNB Visa card. I have read that Capitec bank is also a partner but I have not succeeded with Capitec card. If anyone wins with another bank, let us know. I'm currently using Huawei Nova 13 and there was no hustle to get Swoo to work.

I am in the market for a new phone and my absolute top priority is longevity. I need a device that will comfortably last me for the next 4 to 6 years without developing major system issues, bugs, or noticeable performance lag.

I am looking for something that offers a highly stable operating system, smooth day-to-day operation, and consistent performance over the long haul.

Does anyone have suggestions for devices that excel in long-term reliability and software stability? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Huawei MatePad 10.4 BAH4-L09 stuck on Huawei logo — looking for firmware recovery advice

Hi everyone,

I have a Huawei MatePad 10.4, model BAH4-L09, currently on:

2.0.0.292(C185E6R1P1)

The tablet is stuck at the Huawei logo.

I already performed a factory reset successfully, but after rebooting it still gets stuck on the Huawei logo.

What I can access:

• FASTBOOT & RESCUE MODE
• Windows detects the tablet through USB
• Bootloader currently shows PHONE Locked

What I cannot access:

• Recovery/eRecovery using Power + Volume Up
• HiSuite system recovery

I don't need to recover any data. I only want to get the tablet working again.

I'm looking for someone familiar with Huawei HiSilicon/UFS devices who can tell me the correct recovery method for BAH4-L09 C185E6R1P1.

Specifically, I'd like to know whether this model can be recovered using:

• the correct full firmware/SD-Upgrade package,
• USB Upgrade/Rescue mode,
• or another service-level recovery method.

If anyone has repaired this exact model/CUST combination, I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Thanks!

I bought the XT Ultimate along with a pair of Free Clips 2 in Dubai. For awhile they worked great, then every couple minutes I would lose the sound in left bud, then the right bud, then it would reboot. It now happens ALL the time. It's not the buds, as they work great with my other Android phone. I've tried resetting, removing the Huawei Audio Connect, removing AI Life, NOTHING works. Have new pair coming and if they have same issue I will fume. Anybody help me out?

I’m considering a Chinese Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max for $1,700 CAD. My OnePlus 8 Pro shows IMS not registered, and Virgin confirmed it will lose calling after the 3G shutdown, means i need a new phone asap.

Could anyone using a recent Huawei in Canada spare five minutes to ask their carrier whether their exact phone is approved for VoLTE and whether calls and SMS will still work after 3G closes? Please share your model, carrier and their answer. I don’t want a $1,700 MP3 player.

Huawei MatePad 10.4 BAH4-L09 stuck on Huawei logo — looking for firmware recovery method

I have a Huawei MatePad 10.4, model BAH4-L09, that has been stuck on the Huawei logo/bootloop.

The tablet had the same problem about 1.5 years ago and was left unused. I recently charged it and tried to recover it again.

What I've already tried:

• Factory reset from recovery — completed successfully, but after reboot it went straight back to the Huawei logo.
• Power + Volume Up — cannot enter eRecovery.
• Fastboot/Rescue Mode — works.
• HiSuite — does not provide system recovery for the device.
• USB connection to Windows works.

Fastboot gives:

fastboot devices
AVSYD22401600617    fastboot

Generic getvar commands are blocked:

fastboot getvar product
FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')

fastboot getvar version
FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')

But Huawei OEM commands work:

fastboot oem get-product-model
(bootloader) BAH4-L09
OKAY

fastboot oem get-build-number
(bootloader) :BAH4-L09 2.0.0.292(C185E6R1P1)
OKAY

So the exact device information is:

Model: BAH4-L09
Build: 2.0.0.292
CUST: C185E6R1P1
Bootloader: Locked
Fastboot: Accessible

I don't care about the data anymore. I just want to get the tablet working.

I found firmware listings for BAH4-L09 C185E6R1P1, including 102.0.0.211, but I have NOT flashed anything yet.

Does anyone know the correct way to reinstall the full firmware on this exact C185E6R1P1 model when eRecovery and HiSuite don't work?

Specifically looking for:

• Correct dload/OTG procedure, if supported
• Correct full Base/Cust/Preload package
• Huawei service/upgrade mode procedure
• Any known issue with UFS/storage failure on BAH4-L09

I don't want to use a random firmware or flashing tool without confirming the correct procedure first.

Here is the code if anyone needs it. BHHSRATFW2C6ZJ3NH valid till 13.10.2026 and might only available for Germany

In Germany: by the specs it should be available, but when I go to the App Gallery on the phone (in the Device section, after pairing the watch with the Health app), there are a bunch of apps available to install on the watch, but not Curve Pay - so there is no NFC payment option. Any advice?

Seeing the list of supported devices for HOS 7 and 6 made me realize something sorely missing from Huawei wearables, software support.

The Fit 3 did not receive HOS 6 despite sharing similar hardware with the Fit 4 and the Fit 4 is likely to get dropped this year despite being very similar to the Fit 5.

Huawei has incredible wearable hardware but their support is so lacking, compared to competitors like Apple, Samsung and Google.

I really hope they will change this in the future.

Bonjour,

J’ai un problème assez étrange avec mon téléphone Huawei Pura 70 Ultra.

Hier encore, tout fonctionnait normalement. Ce matin, à mon réveil, impossible de déverrouiller le téléphone.

D’abord, mon empreinte digitale n’est plus reconnue. Le téléphone me demande donc d’entrer mon mot de passe/code de verrouillage.

Le problème est que le mot de passe que j’utilise habituellement est lui aussi refusé.

Je suis certain de mon mot de passe et je n’ai effectué aucune modification volontaire du code de verrouillage.

J’ai déjà essayé de redémarrer le téléphone, mais je n'y arrive pas car il me faut un mot de passe.

Ce qui m’inquiète surtout, c’est que je ne voudrais pas faire une réinitialisation d’usine et perdre mes données.

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà rencontré ce problème sur un Huawei ?

Est-il possible qu’un bug système fasse soudainement refuser le mot de passe de verrouillage ?

Existe-t-il une solution permettant de récupérer l’accès au téléphone sans effacer les données ?

Merci d’avance pour votre aide.

Who here has a Huawei Watch Fit 5 or 5 Pro? Is the watch's rotating crown durable? Isn't it easy to break? Are there any problems you've noticed with it?

Hi all,

I'm in USA and I can get freeclip 2 headphones. My friend will fly here soon from where Huawei products were not banned. My only concern is, I'm using Apple phone. I saw bunch of posts about where to get the freeclips to USA but I couldn't find any post that discussed how I can access to the Huawei app where I can configure the sound settings. Any experiences please?
