Expo very far

Distance is no barrier leh. Ppl even flocked to waterway point and CWP also far far le. Ppl are willing to travel so long got attractive freebies.

If u want it dont drop, off it completely

don't really need also to let it not drop

I just got my mate20pro. Does anybody have any problem with Netflix? Whenever I try to play any video, it auto restart my phone.

My m20pro restarts regardless of apps or even for no reason.... I'm waiting for 1-1 exchange from huawei.

This is very misleading as the phones are used by 2 different people with different habits. The battery capacity are also different so how can you compare apple and orange?
Based on your post, a few points to note:
1) the phone that charges the most will wear faster (if consider mAH charged remains equal)
2) the phone with better battery life (considering mate 9 here) in theory charge lesser times with the same amount of time used so it should wear slower than
3) I would suggest u to download AccuBattery as it gives you great insight about batteries and it also tells you how much your battery has worn over time.
4) research found that charging the battery to 100% makes your battery deteriorate much faster than charging to say 80%. Again, AccuBattery shows you the battery wear cycle and explain some of that.
5) based on these info, to keep battery in good condition, one should do smaller charges say 40% to 80% instead of charges from 10% to 100%

We all know heat is the biggest killer for batteries so keeping it cool can ensure your battery is kept in good condition. If you find your phone heats up quickly and reached high temperature, I would suggest that you check what went wrong (some people like to play games and charge at the same time that caused the phone to be very hot) as prolong charging in this way can kill your battery very quickly.

In quick charging theory, imagine you have to feed 1000 people that queue in a single line vs feeding the 1000 people with 10 lines of queue that would be 10x quicker right? So the fast way would be able to hit different cells at the same time so they get charged simultaneously instead of a single point charging while monitoring and maintaining heat control.

Having said that I disagree 10v/4a charging will damage the battery quicker than 4.5v/5a charging considering they implement the monitoring control well

Oh gosh, I clearly didn't compare both phones side by side like those YT video wearing them down at the same time to check which survive longer.

I SAID:

I bought HTC10 on Sep 2016 which support QC3.0 and Huawei Mate9 for My father on Dec 2016. Both phone were charged usually every or alternate night. 2 years later, the mate 9 battery is still holding on well, not so much for the QC3.0's HTC 10.

Both were charged when the battery were less than half, and to 100%. Hes actually a more heavy phone user than cause I do not touch phone when I have access to computer. Facebook, Whatsapp, Line, WeChat, Youtube, etc and hes on it the whole day--as many old retiree do everyday now. I OTOH, only use Whatsapp, Google Map and some web browsing, nothing else. That's why both mate 9 and HTC10 will left with similar battery at the end of the day. I saved these detail cause I didn't want to bore forumers.

I doubt you know much about phone battery charging tech. educate yourself with phone charging tech, like our own HWZ article Need for Speed: A shootout of fast charging standards. QC use high voltage, that's the main reason it can charge faster, period. Voltage conversion generate heat--you know what next.

Multiple cells charging? only VOOC/DASH is using it to distribute current to battery internal cells. The newer 40W Supercharge or SuperVOOC is likely using multiple batteries as it's a logical and easier upgrade to their existing tech by simply doubling receiving end. Still, dual battery charged at the same time, the heat will definitely increase.

Here's another article Speed, Thermal, and Performance Comparison of Fast Charge Standards by xdadevelopers

Anyway, its my own experience/finding, feel free if you don't believe but stop saying I was misleading.

Thanks for replying I tried to contact them on fb but they have not even replied to me once. Not even sure if I'm doing it right..

Same. Left my details thru fb already

Hmm my screen batch changed from 53 to 61. Seems like it's not really "batch".

Fact is still phones were used by different users with different habits as you put it and there is no way to be scientific and you didnt even use software like AccuBattery to help you so my comments still stand that that you said are misleading information.

Yes, I do not know much about battery technology, hell I just have a degree in computer engineering and wrote algorithms to control current flowing into FPGA to build fuses in my younger years. But, what do I know..

You kept mentioning about increase heat but what data do you have to prove that the HW supercharge technology actually increase heat that exceeded the threshold that caused shorter lifespan? I am no internet warrior that do a bunch of searches and call myself expert in a topic without understand what was written in the articles. If you read and actually understood what was written, you would hv know each charging tech has their ways to mitigate heat by both hardware and software controls. And they hv done enough tests that you can't imagine so you don't hv to worry about that

netflix cant play at all. need update the app with huawei app

and yet available for the region from the message it shows me when i try open

as for other video
i dun have any problem playing

Yup, they told me they doing "vigorous tests" to ensure the problem does not resurface.

Did they take long to reply ur first pm? I sent them 3 pm over the past 2 days, more than 48 hours already but no sound from them yet.. They haven't even asked for my details..

I don't know if you have difficulty reading or you choose to read what you like. There is no time did I said Huawei Supercharge will increase heat, I said high voltage conversion will generate heat, does Supercharge use high voltage? I wonder how a computer engineer will rely on a software for accurate charging ampere, great.

There's never did I claim I was doing a scientific test, it was simply one phone retain more battery % after 2 years than the other. Nor did I claim to be any expert, it was simple 3 paragraphs on my initial post and guess what I attracted, wall of texts telling me what I should or shouldn't be doing.

I had way pass the time of arguing on the internet with smart alec, so please carry on.

i put my NM card into the reader and my pc is not detecting it. i already formatted via the phone.

anything drivers i need to download?

Check in device manager? If it shows up non device means need driver.

Since this card is new and pin out is totally different. So I think windows don't have driver yet.

Resort to name calling? Great! but Huawei don't use/support high voltage? Try again (and I'm not even talking about M20P 10v/4A). I would rely on a software more than your words that prove how little you can trust people these days. Be a keyboard warrior for all I care but don't spread misinformation unless you hv any scientific ways to prove it. I won't resort to your childish name calling way so I'll be on my way

the speaker of mate 20 pro really a let down.

Agreed the speakers esp via via the charging port is a design flaw.
Plus can't hear when charging with cable
