HD Netflix on Mate 10 PRO - Huawei Mate 10 Guides, News, & Discussion

After read the problem about Netflix and pocophone , i just notice that i do have the same problem with my Phone! Only SD for Mate 10 PRO.
I found this over the web:
In response to your question, the HD playback on Netflix is related to the availability of the DRM LiveWine L1 (HD video support in DRM platforms as Netflix). As a representative of the manufacturer, I can inform you that all devices running on EMUI 8.0 or higher (Mate 10 Pro included) are scheduled to receive it at some point via a system update.

Well i Just check with a Tool and my mate 10 pro got L1 security enable but somehow only US single sim version Works :
Huawei Mate 10 Pro (BLA-A09, NEO-L29)
Got from Netflix site !

Actually it does.
I have the Mate 10 Pro EU version and I'm using it here in Holland with Netflix. It takes a couple of seconds to go from SD to HD but that's all.
I'm currently using the Beta 5 version of Openkirin LOS and having Magisk Root.

I do have c432 too .. but no HD logo ...the HD logo appears even before play the v

I don't have the logo either. Didn't even know that there was a logo. Are you on data or on wifi? And did you set it on best quality in the settings menu?

Take a look .. same problem :

No, not the same problem.

How come ? Both cant play HD on Netflix ... The Only difference is the Poco lack the L1, the Mate does but is not certified anyways ... But again .. both cant play HD on Netflix , same problem , different reasons!

Not the same problem. Netflix could easily choose to support HD on the Mate 10/Pro at any time via an update. The Pocophone is unable to be supported, no update possible.

This phone never never surprised me, everyday I found another goddamn problem emui hate it, widget problem hate it, Bluetooth problem hate it, wifi problem hate it..... And now Netflix never ever gonna buy Huawei or anything related to this company

Have you gone into launch control and set everything to manual? And gone into "exempt from battery optimization" and exempted everything? That solved 99% of my issues with the US mate 10 pro...

Actually no it does not, according to Netflix only the BLA-A09 supports Netflix in HD and that's only with the stock ROM. This is straight from Netflix so take it for what it is worth.

Emui 9 161.

Now it supports HD for Emui 9 beta b108

Just because the listing shows that it is HD does not mean that it will stream to your device in HD. It said the same thing with my mate 9 but only streamed in SD. According to Netflix the ONLY mate 10 that is certified is the BLA-A09.

Dont know about mate 9 but in my Mate 10 pro the quality is far better than before after the HD appeared.

ARCORE not support by P20 Pro?!

I just bought a P20 Pro and try to install ARCORE apps. However I am surprised ARCORE is not compatible with P20 Pro!!! I just checked the official ARCORE web site... only P20 (not Pro) is on the list
You are totally correct, why were you inder the impression that the P20 Pro is compatible?

Arcore is totally compatible with HWCLT so also P20 Pro will be.
At least reading from official websites.

Huawei said “The HUAWEI P20 Pro is an ARCore supported device” on their official website...:laugh:
Does anyone have any update on this? I tried tweeting Hauwei and Google but no response from either. I think it's crazy that they did a comprehensive demo of ARcore working on the P20 Pro at their launch event and not a word about it since. They even had CEO of Google France at the press conference talking about it!

Source?
It seems a couple of P20 variants are listed as being officially supported (EML-L29, EML-L09 https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/#supported_devices) but no mention of the Pro. That said the Galaxy S9 is not officially supported yet either so it is probably just a case of the team updating official support in the next few weeks.
In the meantime I think there are methods of patching the apk to work on other devices (see https://github.com/thestr4ng3r/arcore-patch) I may look further into it if I get chance later.

I also think so. But it is quite strange that HUAWEI show “ARCore” as a main feature on their official site as a main feature... but it is not yet support. But seems no one is caring about this except me

Nope, can't find anything. I'm getting the Norwegian site as default though. Although I saw the stuttering demo from the french P20 Pro launch. So basically, they have confirmed it.
Let's hope they're ironing out some bugs before release.
Not too impressed with framrates though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsdeeLp9A7s
My gf's S7 is also supposed to be supported ( https://developers.google.com/ar/discover/ ) But Google Play says her phone isn't supported.
Basically, a normal Google product launch
I saw its available on apkpure but is the ARCORE just a framework and needs a compatible app to actually do anything? There is no icon for example
ARCore 1.2 Support P20 Pro
Here is an example of working ARCore on P20 Pro:

I got it installed today. ?
Hi all,
I just bought a Huawei P20 pro (CLT-L09) and made all firmware updates (no root).
I cannot install arcore from google play store (Device not compatible).
I tried to install apk files from apk mirror (I tried different versions from 1.3 to 1.5) but when I try to launch an app using arcore, I always have a black screen). When I try to launch "Measure" from google, i have a message telling me that my device is not compatible...
Do some of you have the same issue ?
Do someone have any solution ?
ARCore runs fine on my P20 Pro because it is supported.

Have it installed in on mine from the play store works fine

How to get Netflix in HD and HDR in Mate 10/Pro

I managed to get Netflix HD (specially HD because with a 2k display and not being able to get hd content is stupid) and HDR in my Mate 10 (not pro) by changing the device model to the mate 10 RS porshe design NEO-L29, also works changing it to Mate 10 pro BLA-L09. This also may work for the Non supported Mate 10 Pro phones, Netflix only support officially the NEO-L29 and BLA-L09, thats it says in the website.
You need to have magisk root, with safetynet pass in green and modify this file:
/product/hw_oem/ALP-L29/prop/local.prop (mine is ALP-L29 but it might be ALP-AL00, ALP-L09... Or whatever brand you have, check in settings about phone.. So edit the file for your device model)
See the screenshots attachment for more details.
So basically change all the words ALP-L29 (or whatever is your model) in that file to NEO-L29.
Reboot and go to Netflix, which now appears in the playstore and can be installed.
Go to any of the Netflix originals like black mirror or stranger things and you should see the word HDR next to the title.
I don't know if the hdr really works on our device's screen in Netflix but defenitley Netflix now recognises my Mate 10 as a porshe design and as a supported device.
What I can assure is that HD now works because before doing this change, I downloaded an episode of black mirror and the size was 330 mb but after the change the size now is 770 mb(if I change to NEO) and 550 (if I change to BLA-L09) and obviously it looks sharper...
HDR seems to work too, The shows with hdr support seem to look better than the ones where it says HD only, the blacks seem darker and more saturation but I cannot be 100% sure... ?
Keep in mind that not all the Netflix content is in hdr only the shows original from Netflix and only some of them.
Hope it works for you and let me know if you see the HDR improvement, specially in the PRO device because of the AMOLED.
I have mate 10 pro bla-l29... it is normal dual sim that is sold in europe. Bla-a09 is us version only. It is so ****ed up that they dont support all versions who comes up with such an idea. I kinda feel discriminated.
My phone is not rooted so now i am stuck watching sd on a 800 Dollar phone thanks

Yes man I know how you feel, thats why Ive been investigating untill i found how to fix this problem, But yeah you need Root for it, If I buy a phone super expensive is because i want the best feature, it very sad how these companies work.
I think the BLA-L09 is european and the BLA-L29 is like more international. So one would expect that the international version is what should be supported and not the euroean. Anyway, It´s not only huawei fault, its also netflix´s, why all these restricctons? Every phone with at least a 720p screen and google widevine drm support should be able to get HD support. All these exclusivities netflix is doing with some phones is very discriminatory.
Anyway, if you really consume a lot of netflix, i would recommend you to root and get HD support for your phone.

I don't wanna be that guy, but people need to stop saying 2k display... 2k is 2000. It makes absolutely no sense to say that.
2k resolution is a slightly larger fullhd cinematic movie recording format (just like 4k compared to Ultra HD)
2k is like 2048x1080 so if one of these phones has close to 2k screen it is the fullhd+ mate10pro.
Saying 2k is insulting your device.
No offence meant lol

Hahah don't worry, I say 2k because everyone one else knows it as that, few knows it as QHD. I normally like to call it just 1440p like 1080p, 720p as that's a more precise term...

The next Netflix update or the next update from Huawei? I have a BLA-AL00 but sadly as of today still no HD or HDR on Netflix yet
Thank you. It works for me (ALP-L29).
Anyone can make this as Magisk module? Thanks in advance.
Anyone figure out why the Mate 10 has been purposefully disabled or not supported for HDR playback? I want to know what dumb ****s are responsible for this.

Netflix doesn't care for us... Still no HD support!
I just contacted with netflix support and their reply was to change my phone or watch on different device!
That's very sad.
Any other solution?

Honor Play COR-L29 Widevine L3 after update 9.0

Hi, anyone facing this problem after the update? I'm pretty sure before the update i can play Netflix in HD.

Well on an Honor Play telegram group a member said the same thing I'm afraid .. I'm still on Oreo .. which is scary to know that it could downgrade you widevine security level ! That's definitely odd
Same issue here. Widevine at L3
Can anyone who is still on oreo confirm this ?

For my device, COR-L29, both Android Oreo and Pie have Widevine Level L3.
Looks like all Pie updates downgrades Widevine Level to 3, the Huawei P Smart 2019 has the same problem. The Honor 8X with Oreo has Widevine Level 1. I hope the Honor and Haewei brings out a update soon to get Widevine Level 1 again. Does anybody has information about this?

Well that's obviously an entirely different problem.
I contacted Honor support Europe about Widevine today. The only thing they say is 'keep checking Facebook and Twitter'..........I have the feeling that Widevine Level 1 is not coming for our phone.
yeah. it's L1 in oreo and L3 in Pie. unfortunately
Can also confirm this. L3 on Pie.
Does that mean though, that it's just a software bug and that it can be fixed?
Any hack / patch for this out yet?
Edit: Ok, so some more info regarding the situation after I have talked to the support guy from Netflix.
Apparently the Honor Play is not supported and never has been (according to the support guy), hence why it is not on the list of supported devices.
I asked him, whether there could be devices, that support HD playback but are not on the list, which he denied.
However, my Nokia 7.1 is not on the list and it does support HD playback (there is an HD icon, whereas there is no icon on my Honor Play).
There is, however, one more thing. On the list of supported HD devices, there is this:
Motorola DROID Turbo 2 (XT1585) *HD playback only on Android 6 (Marshmallow)
Out of curiosity I checked the latest firmware for this phone and it is 7.0 . So I guess there have been cases where the HD functionality disappeared after an update.
Maybe some Motorola DROID Turbo 2 owners can confirm?

Updated 2 days ago. Tried to watch Netflix, it has full sound etc but picture is black.... WTF is that about? Someone on reddit said its a problem with the update and YouTube hd videos have sound and no picture either.
Anyone else have this problem? If it is a common problem, then it's a bit of a disaster on their part.

Yes, HDR videos are not working. Youtube hdr or netflix hdr, sdr videos do work. I don't know why. I didn't reset my phone because I don't watch enough content on it to bother me but it pretty bad bug. I wonder if it fixes on an update soon, don't really know how to contact xiaomi and tell them.

I was talking about HDR ! It's a different thing from SD/HD
SD : Standard Definition
HD : High Definition
SDR : Standard Dynamic Range
HDR : High Dynamic Range
To fix your black screen problem, downgrade your firmware, or use a custom ROM ... or wait for a fix from MIUI.

You got in the phone 2 apps: Services&feedback and Mi comunity.
In the first you describe the issue and it goes to Xiaomi directly.
The second is a big comunity of all devices (forum) and it will go to Xiaomi trough moderators.
I posted feedback in 13 feb and 1 of march, no reply, no nothing.
Really disappointed, why is the feedback app even there if there are no replies 1 month later.

The devices themselves are great, but MIUI is still full of little things here and there that just make you want to replace it. App bugs, that annoying "force close everything constantly on the background" behavior...
This Netflix bug that remains unsolved "forever" now was the last straw that made me just unlock the device and choose LOS instead. Everything is near perfect now.

Can you explain more how you unlocked it? And what is LOS? I'm not great with tech but I'll follow your lead if it fixes Netflix and improves the phone.

If you're not that experienced I'm afraid it may be a bit overwhelming to begin with...
Search for these things in order:
1 - unlock your bootloader (search for unlocking bootloader in Xiaomi devices, there's a waiting period after you apply for it)
2 - flash and boot a custom recovery (go to Rom and Recoveries thread category, go to the TWRP thread and check out instructions
3 - LOS = LineageOS (in my case version 17.1, Android 10 based), again, there's a dedicated thread on it, with instructions on how to flash that.
If you manage to get passed all that, there's 2 more things you can do to complete the experience, related to Camera and Google's SafetyNet so you can install Netflix directly from Play Store as normal.
You will loose your warranty and there's always a chance of hiccups along the way so if you're not very comfortable with all this, the only alternative is to wait for the MIUI update that is slowly rolling out to devices.
Ok, probably too complicated for me and I'll probably make a mess of it. Guess I'll have to wait for update. Thanks anyways

Yeah, you have to Run Netflix through Gspace, then the Videos are 1080p with HDR.
You can Download the App directly through the AppGallery

i tried and its still SD. Where is the problem
When you install gspace it must say that your phone is a p30, mate 20 or any other device that has GMS or Netflix will only work on SD.
