Alexa out-of-box? - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

I purchased the US version Mate 9 from Amazon. Alexa does not appear to be pre-installed as the newest reports are claiming. Does anyone with a US Mate 9 have Alexa pre-installed?

You won't have trouble. I have a Huawei watch bought in Japan, and am able to use it with no issues. You need to install Play store from HiApp. Then Android wear will need you to install Play Services. To make the Android Wear app work, you will also need the Google app. Open the google app and leave it open when you open the Android Wear app. But it does work, I can confirm
ordered same as OP today, yippieh

Ho at all, the mate 8 its arrived and work fine but today I see a strange situation. The huawei watch battery after one day its finished, with european mate 7 the battery during 2 days. Its normal?
I see just only this difference of android wear app, the mate 8 have android 6 but the watch have android 5.1.1 its normal? Thx
Hi Guys, bought a Mate 8 from Huawei in Shanghai, I have switched the language to my own, but it will not pair with Huawei watch. The phone says, please pair with approved chinese wear device? Is there anyway the phone can be flashed with a European stock ROM? Or any other help

Mate 8 advice, help.

I wil would like to get the Mate 8, but I am concern about the Chinese language and Google services.
Any advice to make my experience good. What should I do when I get the phone first?
I am looking to get this one

Just to let you know I live in the USA and I have t-mobile.
Thank you
I have the same model since last week, and I didnt have any problems, this smartphone is an incredible machine. The Chinesse language isnt a problem, just change the language and download an alternative dialer (if you dont want to see the yellow pages in chinesse feature).
Dont hesitate, great machine.

I had the 10, returned for the 29 with preloaded Google Apps. I was having an issue on the Chinese version with Google Apps and my Google account. The Chinese language on some apps was annoying as well. Now with the International version all is good. Plus it was cheaper.

You can get the 128gb from http://www.gizok.com for 699.99 or the 64gb for 649.99 in both Mocha Brown and Gold. I have no problems with the AL10 with any Google Apps nor do I have anything still in Chinese. I buy all my phones through there. You'll have it in three days after they ship. I ordered mine on a Saturday and had it by Thursday.

Mate 20X/Install Update/Unbrick - Official FunkyHuawei Thread for Mate 20X

This is the official FunkyHuawei thread for the Mate 20X.
What FunkyHuawei Supports Currently:
1. Firmware Installation / Unbricking
FunkyHuawei supports the Mate 20X for unbricking and firmware installation, but support has not yet been made public. This will be updated when it is.
2. Rebranding
Rebranding is currently not possible on the Mate 20X, even with root or unlocked bootloader. If this changes in the future, it will be updated.
Those who need to install updates and so on are welcome to contact FunkyHuawei support for help while the release of support for this model is still private.
Any other questions, feel free to ask them here.
Can you unlock the bootloader so it can be rooted?
Also, is there any difference in hardware between the 6/128 China version and the 6/128 Global version?
I see people mention google support, but how can it be impossible to install google stuff on a rooted china model?
Thanks
Hi, would these apps work on this version of the phone?
- Gboard, Google Pay(I usually use it for contactless payment), UK banking apps(HSBC, Barclays, etc)
Google pay

I dont believe there is any hardware difference just maybe 1 let band difference. Chinese model will get updates quicker as the main base is in China so there update that model first . Google pay etc worked fine on my Honor note 10 which came out in August, call it the smaller brother which has no global ROM .
I personally prefer Chinese model , can delete most Chinese apps fine , yes some will remain and some Chinese characters in certain parts but still prefer Chinese model

Huawei have become strict in unlocking so maybe not but Honor who is apart of Huawei did offer users of honour note 10 codes .
@duraaraa,
I haven't been around here much since back when we goofed around with the Mi Mix (recall I sent you one I got so you could work on it since you didn't have one). Anyways, really glad to see what you have done with FunkyHuawei and all - impressive you turned your hobby in to a business so congrats.
I am curious about buying the global from your site. I am very likely to pull the trigger for one of these soon, haven't had a Chinese phone since my Mi Mix and Mate 9 (sold the Mi Mix ultimately for being to rough around the edges in terms of software and the mid range camera but kept the Mate 9 and was pretty happy with it for a while with no real issues once setup properly). Can you give us a summary of the finer points you see as advantages to getting a global from FunkyHuawei verse just getting a Chinese version with Play store already installed?
P.S. Anyone looking for a great unlocked Note 9 with bunch of accessories and whatnot send me PM.

I think you might have mistaken me for someone else about the Mi Mix, but I did work on the Mi Mix 2. I've never actually seen a Mi Mix 1 in person
The Chinese version uses various Chinese services instead of Google Services, and some of those can't be changed. For example, for location services. For the default voice assistant. And so on.
I've heard that OK Google doesn't work on the Chinese version, while you can use it to unlock the phone on the international version, and so on.
I had thought that Chinese version wouldn't pass Safetynet, but I'm not sure. I've also heard that the Chinese version doesn't allow you to change the default launcher. The dual app feature supports whatsapp and facebook on the global version, but wechat and chinese apps on the Chinese version, and so on.
If you don't live in China, getting the global version will work out better for most people.

Certain google things can be installed on the Chinese model. But google is baked into the non-Chinese model. So things like OK Google (to wake up the phone), google assistant as default, Google used as location provider, and so on, will be available only on the international model.

As far as I know you can't unlock the bootloader or root these at present.
If 'Enable OEM Unlock' becomes select-able in developer options it would be possible.

The Mate 20 pro has green bleeding out for lack of better terms on the edges. Seems to be very common now

Have not heard anything for the Mate 20 X. The Pro has the screen supplied by LG and BOE, and most of the green-color bleeding issues are from LG. The screen of Mate 20 X is supplied by Samsung.
Hi @duraaraa. I think I'm ok sticking with Chinese version. But was wondering, in the event I'd like to change it to L29, if progress has been made on rebranding. Do you think it will be possible in the coming months. Thanks!

Question What cases are compatible with the Chinese version?

I recently bought a Chinese version op 9 and I'm just noticing that the dimensions are different, any recommendations for a case?

I bought a Chinese version in my country and locally, no case was available (only cases for global version). SO I easily found several options from ALiBAba. When you search for cases add 'Chinese version' to your query and you'll find some. Try Oneplus official store too.
