Desktop Mode issue - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello there,
After hours of Googling without getting answers I'm so desperate.
I was using Huawei P20 Pro for few years and there was no issues at all with desktop mode. I stopped using it for a while and after updating on newer version I connected it once again and there was some apps missing. So I made factory reset and still nothing. Our professional Huawei support was telling some sh*** about using original cable (I didn't found original usb c hub or hdmi cable).
So I'm asking there, where people know Huawei, EMUI and Android little bit more than our support.
Is there any way to force apps to be visible on desktop mode or any others ideas?
Tldr: Huawei desktop mode is missing some apps after update, Google didn't give me any solution.

P30Pro and Android Auto

Hello,
i have a P30 Pro with the Firmware VOG-L29 9.1.0.178(C431E4R2P2) and a problem with Android Auto.
If i connect the P30Pro with my car, there is a connection error.
The USB Settings on the phone switch automaticly to only charging. If i switch to data transfer it changes automaticly to only charging.
On the last Firmware i have no problems with the connections to Android Auto.
Have anybody the same probleme or an idea?
Thank you
Lapidu
Sometimes, I have to select the data transfer setting two or three times before it will connect to the car. But it always works after 2 or 3 times. USB debugging might also make it work better.
I have no problems and never had. Also i never changed the connection mode, nor did i enable usb debugging. I'm using the original cable, though. Some cars/phones seem to have problems with cheap usb cables, my dad also noticed that but is fine after using the original one.
Was it working once? Did you registered the car in Android Auto or has is failed ever since? Is there a message on the phone?
Witch firmware do you have? And what for a model?
Worked on every firmware since beginning (185 atm). 128 GB Version
I have similar issue, the connection "dies" everytime I connect it to the car for the first time after being parked. Takes about 1-2 minutes, then it disconnects. I haven't investigated what the phone does, but my quickfix is usually to plug the cable in/out. After that, the connection is stable. The issue started around .162 or .165
Hi all. I have this problem as well. Just bought a carplay, but my P30 Pro (Android 10) wouldn't connect at all. I tried with different cables, including original one, still no luck. WIth any other cable it works fine from a Samsung Note 10+. Any idea?
I have the same issue with my P30 pro and civicX
After emui 10 I just can't use android auto in the car.
I have the app on my phone, and it works on the phone. But when I connect to the car it wont work.
(all the Samsungs and apple that I have home work perfectly)
I'm using emui 10 and android auto.
I have the same problem as all people here.
After usb plug, only charge (that's not important) . Some times connects at first time and some other i have to select other usb connection mode (i discovered unplug cable is not necessary)
Will try to change usb cable with the original one
Hello there! I'm trying to connect my P30 Pro with Android Auto on a Seat Leon. I always receive an error message and the connection with android auto always fails. I tried to enable Usb Debug, to install old versions of AA on my phone (for example v. 5.3 and v. 5.4). I'm using the originale data cable (actually two of them since I have two P30 pro at home). AA worked well with my old Samsung Note 8 and Mate 10 Pro. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you!
you guys need better cables, use the factory Huawei one and you'll have no issues.
I'm using two original cables (I have two P30 Pro at home). It isn't a cable problem but probably an issue with Android 10 and Android Auto. This problem affects different recent models of Huawei (P30 pro, mate 20 pro..).
Hello there! Just an update, AA doesn't work only with the Seat Leon. I tried other cars and everything is ok. I will try to update Full Link Seat.. It should solve the issue. Byee

Huawei P30 Pro no longer USB Synching

I had my phone, a "Huawei P30 Pro" for about 9 months then at the beginning of the first lockdown (March 2020) I was called to Italy.
After a few days there I started to notice that I was having problems connecting my phone with my PC's & Mac's using Hisuite?
I tried revoking HDB Debugging mode, then re-enabling it, I went through all the recommendations that I found online but nothing worked.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled Hisuite, I reset all settings, I then wiped my phone completely and tried to reinstall it as a new phone hoping that would work,,,,it didn't.
Around about that time I bought a drone to do some ariel photography, I could never get the P30 Pro to recognize the drone it just kept saying that couldn't find/connect to the device, so I tried my partners P20 Pro which connected via the same USB cables I had been trying previously and they worked fine it also worked flawlessly with the drone?
I even went out of my way and bought a 'Huawei P smart Z' to test with and sure enough, it connected and worked perfectly with the drone and USB connection?
Now, even though I had called Huawei support on a few occasions within the warranty period they are now saying that it's out of time and there is nothing they can do.
I called them when I was in Italy during the lockdown where I was there for 9 months looking after my parents.
My thoughts are that it must be the synch port and perhaps tied into something on the logic board as it is not just USB synching but also when connecting 'Bluetooth?' to the drone which is strange as it connects to other Bluetooth devices, my watch, printer, TV, BPM, etc..
I love this phone especially the camera/video side to it but now I can no longer get my work off unless I send it to myself which is really cumbersome when you have 2-3 hours worth of 4K video recordings, which I do often.
The other thing is I really want to use this with my drone but how the heck can I get it to see the device and again I have tried just about everything and used other phones from other manufactures as well as Huawei and all connect/work fine with the drone and USB syncing.
I myself am a bit of a technical sleuth but this one has me hammered.
Is there anyone out there who can perhaps shed some light?
(I am looking for 3 questions answering here.)
1.what is the probable fault?
2.what is the repair solution?
3. how much could it cost?
Thank you
I will also try posting this request out on a few other boards and see what comes back.
i have the same problem

P30 pro - No USB File Transfer after update to Version 10.1.0.179(C431E23R2P5)

Hello all,
I have updated my P30 pro to version VOGUE-L29C 10.1.0.179(C431E23R2P5) according to instructions posted here (dload). So far so good. Unfortunately, the smartphone is now no longer recognized by any PC via USB. Old backups from a USB stick can also not be used. It can only be charged via USB. I have already tried to check the USB port via the menu *#*#2846579#*#*. No preassignment is displayed. Setting any option has no effect.
I also can't reset the smartphone with any older version. I have tried several. The update reports an error when checking and restarts the smartphone. Recovery is also blocked so I can't perform a wipe.
Has anyone else observed this effect and possibly a solution or a tip for me? My main problem is that no file or photo transfer is possible via USB.
In the developer options, all settings for ADB via USB, USB file transfer and OEM unlock were enabled.
Thanks for your time and support.
Best regards from Germany.

I've had that problem on a p30 pro. Headphones, TV out, super charging all worked, but not data connection to pc, absolutely no reaction besides charging. I've read that forcing update did that to some phones, but updating from phone to the next version would solve that. Didn't solve it for me, when it updated... I could access its memory using Huawei share and network neighborhood from Files. Bought it that way and sold it after 1 month.

Is there a Desktop Mode please?

Giod evening all
It5 been a while since I've been on here, just wondering if you would eb able to tell me if there is a 'Desktop Mode' on this phone, where you can plug a phone in to screen/TV, maybe via a usb c dock to use it like a computer please?
The computer I have is a work laptop and we cannot install anything on it and we have to use a VPN so the 'PC Connect' is not something I could use, also as great as it looks, it's not the functionality I want myself anyway, I want to be able to use the one device for both phone and computer and I already have the usb c dock and screen/keyboard/mouse set up.
I currently have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro and put Apex launcher on it as I don't like EMUI, I am looking at maybe getting an Oppo Find X5 Pro but would like to know if there is a desktop mode before I commit.
Thank you
Dan
I went to get the Oppo but the offer had eneded and cost too much so I got a Pixel 6 Pro instead, but if anyone does know the answer, please still out it up incase anyone else would like to find out.
Thanks
Historically Google has disabled HDMI/Video Out on all of the Pixel phones. At least for the last few years. I'm pretty sure I've heard confirmation that the Pixel 6 Pro also has it disabled. You can always enable Developer Options and then enable Force Desktop Mode and Enable Freeform Windows. Give it a try and let us know.

P30 PRO not working Android Auto - Wired

Hello,
I have a Huawei P30 Pro sw EMUI 12.0.0.134(C461E1R1P2) VLOG-L29 and I cannot connect to Android Auto (Mercedes Benz). the problem must be an incompatibility of P30 PRO since the AA works fine with other Phones.
I've reset Mem&cache of AA App, updated the AA SW version and the other Apps. Also testing developer AA menu optons.
I have come to connect sometimes with difficulty to AA car but I am not able to find a pattern so that it works well continuously. When I try to connect again it doesn't work.
My AA version is 8.3.624134.
I am surprised that there is no posts about it since I imagine that Huawei phones will have many compatibility problems with AA.
Anybody can help me?

Works fine with Dacia AA(wired). Don't have a MB to test...same version AA
Did it work with EMUI 11?
Now I can connect. I've done three actions:
1. Buy a new official cable.
2. Update all the Apps. It's important that Google assistant works well.
3. In developers menu, tick on developer mode.
Now AA works fine but sometimes it disconnects. Maybe I have to revise battery savings App conf., or the screen must be ON all the time. I don't know ..
I've used P30 pro for both wired and wireless AA without any problem for more than year. So .
- You dont need official Huawei USB cable, any decent cable will do. I believe that was your problem, bad cable
- Updating all apps is in general good thing to do, but it doesn't influence connection with AA at all
- Forget developers mode, please . No need to think about it, and you actually may harm your phone by playing with it. It doesn't have any influence on AA
Enjoy AA in your vehicle

I completely agree with your appreciations. I’ve forgotten using developers mode and it seems to work. I bought a high quality cable and I cleaned the USB-C connector.
Currently I only have a problem: disconnections every few minutes (variable from 2-10 minutes). I am testing some things: AA permissions, non Battery savings, always on of the screen … but I can't find a pattern. Any idea what can be the problem? Does it happened the same to you with your P30 PRO wired to AA?

I've switched to S22U last two months, so i cant share fresh experiences, but i can say that i haven't had any disconnection issues while P30p was not moving while connected to car.
But, when i moved phone for any reason, it would lost connection occasionaly. I've concluded that was caused by weak connection, and haven't investigated it further.
well, In my case it seems to be a cabling problem. I bought 2 high-quality cables, 1-meter long and 2-meter long. I had tested the shorter one. This morning I tested the longest one and my P30 isn't able to connect AA.
I'll buy a shorter cable (0,3 or 0,5m) in order to test again..
