theoretically: yes
practically: depends
In some countries for some providers yes, in other countries for no provider at all (even if the provider generally supports it for nearly all other VoLTE-capable phone models):
There are numerous reports about this topic even on support.google.com, reddit.com (but much less on XDA):
https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/126858295
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/zck6cs
... with recently just a little hope left until the official end of support for the Pixel 4a in August 2023 (just a couple of months from now):

Android 4.4.3 UK Update Estimation By O2

Contacted O2 and they are estimating the update will be rolling out in a few weeks (2-3). Any thoughts? Also If you Can watch my Moto G videos and suggest me improvements in the youtube comment section that would be great and if you dont mind you can also click on a few adverts
That's probably about right - IIRC the original European KitKat rollout was about 4-5 weeks after it started going out to US models.

Looking back it was 19th Dec 13 that 4.4.2 was rolled out to US models, 11th Jan 14 for European.
I'm hopeful that Moto are keeping an eye out for the bug reports from the initial 4.4.3 roll-out and will take the opportunity to apply necessary tweaks to later rollouts (otherwise why do a staged rollout?). But who knows - fingers crossed.

WiFi Calling for T-Mobile US?

Question. What's Honors stance on adding Wifi calling to future OTAs? It looks like they've received a bit of demand but I haven't heard anything specifically on this since the AMA.

The way I understand it, Huawei is working with T-mobile to get Wifi calling working on the Honor 8 (US version) with a future software update. Whether this actually happens remains to be seen. (I believe that ZTE is still trying to get it to work for their Axon 7.)
I wish I would have known this BEFORE I bought the phone. Specs are great otherwise, but no WiFi calling support on a 'flagship' level device such as this is a deal breaker when you have very little carrier signal (any carrier) in your home. Returning and spending the money on a device with support for what has become a basic functionality on any smart phone.

No, it isn't. This misinformed nonsense also needs to stop being repeated and propagated as fact.
The support is either built into the phone software or not. If the carrier supports it then it works. If the carrier does not, then the option does nothing. The feature itself, however, has to be built into the phone's software. My unlocked HTC 10 supports it as do the Nexus phones, both of which are two examples of non-carrier branded phones.

True. Even if the update provides the device that it will only work if the carrier supports it.

This is the same thing Huawei keeps saying as well, but if the software isn't configured to support it (because the carrier certainly does - On my GS6 with Android 6.0.1 it works just fine - everywhere I have WiFi) it won't work. There's no option in the WiFi menu for WiFi calling, and it's been pretty well documented that they intend to bake this in to the next EMUI update with Nougat. In the mean time, you either deal with the constant ummounting of the SD card and lack of WiFi calling, or take it back for a phone that isn't quite so underwhelming and buggy.

Yeah, this feature is controlled by Cell Carriers not by device manufacturers.
Why is this so difficult to understand?
DarkGuyver said:

Yes, the availability of the feature set is controlled by the carrier - but if the carrier supports WiFi calling - as T-Mobile / MetroPCS does - it's whether the device hardware and/or software supports the feature that dictates usability. The Honor 8 does NOT support WiFi calling, because EMUI doesn't have the feature enabled. Period. Huawei has said as much.
Look, If Google trusts Huawei to make the Pixel for them (there are a lot of great similarities here), they've got a good thing going. But this is basic device functionality stuff. Are they worried that Pixel sales will be hurt by people buying the Honor 8 if it's fully featured? Hmmm. Wish I'd thought of that. Oh wait. I did.

The biggest issue is getting certified to use WiFi calling which is very hard for China based companies. Not impossible but to be honest I have not seen a single one get certified in the states yet.

My Le Pro3 from Le Eco has Wifi calling. It works better on this than it did the Nexus 5X.
Edit: You're right though. It costs companies time and money to implement it although I wish Huawei was more vocal on this. Their XDA partnership hasn't really impressed me yet.

There is alot of history there with this OEM. They for many years were banned in the US due to security issues and even to this day their devices are not allowed on some military bases. I thought about getting an honor 8 but will have to fill out tons of paperwork to see if I can get it approved due to some places I work.
Done
I just decided it was time to be done and returned the phone. Back to my GS6 after cooking the daylights out of it to remove any condensation from my little one dumping it in the dog drink. Oddly, I had a lot of strange crashes, and exorbitant date usage & GPS locks by Huawei specific apps. Might be on to something there.

No WiFi calling support on Honor 8
Hi Guys, I am T-mobile user and switch to Honor 8 from Motorola Nexus 6 about three months back and after use around week felt that this is the best Phone ever better than iPhone 6S. After few days used this phone found that it's doesn't have WiFi calling feature which does have on Nexus 6 because at my work place very barely T-mobile signals reach. Try to find some blogs and got that will get this feature in next update vEMUI 5.0 with Android 7.0 which i got recently few days back. but still this feature doesn't show up or working at all. now I am feeling like this is the wrong choise coz it not supporting WiFi calling which normally most smartphones does support.
Huwai Team please address this and let us know if any fix is available to overcome this.

C782 No updates since 9.0

Anyone else on C782 noticed since we got 9.0 (168) we haven't had anymore updates/security patches in a while, anyone know whats up with that? i feel like our phones have just been abandoned this is first and last time i use Huawei, Google Pixel or Samsung next upgrade for me at least they get monthly patches/fixes even my bros S8 is being security/bug patched each month.
I've noticed it too.
Still on .168
Still on .159 with November security
Get yourself on Huawei forums, under software there's a very large post, join the crowd pressuring them to change their process. Mods have put up "false" updates to try quieten the roar and just made it worse. Infuriating that FF can't work once you're already on pie, don't fancy downgrading and full wipe just for my security patch

They said themselves bi monthly updates for all p m and nova handsets, clearly trying not to get banned from anywhere else and bit off more than they can chew. Any time I've spoken to someone, being able to speak to anyone more senior than first point of contact is impossible (which from experience I'm pretty sure goes against certain rules re: complaints) contemplating a ceo office email with links to all these such posts and their own promises.
Not that it'll make a difference. Just need to vent haha

I'm with Three. Still on 159, November security patch. Just been on a live chat with them. Nothing resolved but got a £25 credit.
Still on .168 for me as well, showing 1st December security patch.
Last time I buy Huawei as well, I don't mind not getting full updates but not even getting security updates is ridiculous.

Yeah i just wish they would push them out monthly like samsung does instead of making us wait 3-5 months and by that time the update is worthless.

Bi-monthly would do me fine. In a dream world I'd like 9.1 and camera processing parameters from the P30 Pro (I've read it's a little less heavy on the processing) but I doubt we'll ever see that!
Still 1st Dec 18 security for me, unlocked phone from o2 with Voda sim.
Pathetic, it's almost 5 months out of date.
Love the phone but won't buy another Huawei.

Mate 30 Pro and custom ROM's

Hey everyone
I just heard about Huawei been a bit more relaxed about rooting their Mate 30 Pro.
At First I was like that is AWESOME, the idea of been able to use the Mate 30 Pro with pixel experience (my favourite custom Rom) sounds amazing.... best Pixel stock experience on a beast like Mate 30 would be epic.
Then I found a strange taste in my mouth. There would still be some draw backs. Thought I would list some concerns and people could answer some of those concerns.
(Note....each concern/question has a solution or comment I think about the issue.....this is just my view and not to be taken as the only view)
1. Lack of full potential from cameras on the back?
I know some custom ROM camera apps are pretty good l, but to really experience the best from the camera's you would have to have some access to l the Mate 30 Pro stock camera app package to allow.
A thought I had is that Huawei could make a APK that's a bit like Goodlock and this app would allow you to download the stock camera app and other stock apps that people may use on their Huawei devices.
2. LTE and 5G??
I can remember using my Samsung S7E with Pixel Experience but one of the draw backs was that I could get 4G but I didn't get the extra features like LTE, wifi calling, HD call quality ect. If this remained the case then this would be a major draw back to a 2019 flagship device.
Maybe Huawei could needed coding and solutions directly to custom Rom developers....or allow then to be a open source so every ROM devloper had access these features.
3. General Custom ROM glitches and bugs
We are all used to our ROMs having strange behaviours every now and ad gain but do we want these bugs on our £800+ smartphone that we use eveqersryday.
This solution seems obvious Huawei need to work closely with custom Rom developers and helping them Iron these issues out.
4. Some apps dont work on custom Roms no matter what.
Back to my S7e I was able to almost all of the apps on my phone thanks to magisk manager but some apps still had issues. My samsung gear app would pair with my gearfit 2 no matter what. It downloaded but it would not find any devices. I found a fix but that caused my Google to stop working, so had to put it back. This happened with other apps as well.
The only solution I can think of is app developers would have to made aware that mate 30 users could be using rooted devices with Huawei's blessing and ensure there apps work on rooted versions of the phone.
5. Is Warranty still safe.
If Huawei are actually cool with us rooting our P30 Pro then they need to put their money where their mouth is and allow this activity with their manufactures warranty, private insurance companies need to follow suit as well.
Huawei could give us manufactures warranty but with the condition that if possible we have to flash the stock firmware of the device before sending it out.
That's it....that's just s few of my thoughts and possible solutions and would love to hear what you guys think and if you have any worries or questions of your own? Maybe if we make enough noise Huawei will notice us and take our ideas and answer our questions themselves.
(Make it easier....put which number comment your answering to so we all have a better idea what's going on)
Keep it friendly guys remember these are mine and others thoughts.... none of us are implying that these thoughts are right.
By the way... I am a Note 9 user but I am really excited of the potential of Huawei been the ultimate custom ROM brand.
Official Pixel Experience is pretty much nill on Huawei Devices. I see the Honor 10 has
again been dropped.
When the Ban is lifted Huawei will lock the bootloader again no doubt.
they have changed their mind, they will not unlock the BL for the Mate 30.
the only place this device will sell well is China, they are screwed pretty much everywhere else.
I just bought one in shanghai yesterday. Its a very neat and fast phone. especially the 40w charging is cool. you can watch percentages go up...
I asked for the 5G version but i was told its not availbale and should come November. I was wondering though if its already built in and just needs a software patch... like back then when Nvidia was reducing performace on Graphic cards by disabling shaders by firmware...

I would say most likely it works, as the China version covers pretty much all the network.
You could find out the specs from their website and check if the LTE bands covers T-Mobiles. It works on Bell's network though.

I was trying to find a thread about the bootloader being unlocked on this phone and couldn't find one.

He doesn't say how he did it but I'm thinking someone might want to contact him and ask him how he did it. About 2 minutes in he shows this

Most likely a review unit like others have had, release software dosnt have OEM unlock option in developers, if something comes of the int. Version we may be able to get rebranding but has yet to be seen
He commented about it being a devkit under the comment by Markus Haier here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5pxYxPSbl_s and said he was going to make a video on it but still nothing.
@o012 Well my P30-Pro (VOG-L09) has OEM unlocking under developer options but haven't tried unlocking.
All works in canada except certain banking apps google backup netflix google pay androis assistant needs to be rebooted everytime. Rest all works fine including google photo backup
Has anyone installed a custom ROM and TWRP to it yet.
Could a Gapps package help the issues? Gapps include all the google services and system setting to keep google stable and updating.
Think Gapps could be installed via the phones built in bootloader??.

make debloat and restrict all app to work in backgrounds.
examples:
1) do you really need to get notifications as a bots liked your photo in instagram\twitter\fb\tiktok? - block it
2) do you need updates from your bank every 5 min? - block it
3) do you really need Chrome browser to update page in background? - block it
4) you calc\gallery\tools need access to internet? no way - block it
just imagine....hundreds of preinstalled apps in your phone wakes up you modem and get access to internet every 5 seconds and waste your battery. Until you understand how your phone work -- every phone will be bad for your and bad battery life.

The S22U is my only phone with terrible battery. I don't use tiktok or many other social apps, mainly browsing and texting. I barely get 3h SOT on it, and I've wiped it many times. Maybe I just have a bad unit, but I think it's just the chip. Can't wait for the 8gen2.
