Mate 20 X

[rosenr9286t]

I've just received my Mate 20 X L29. In the process of setting it up, and I've run into a problem. I use Microsoft Exchange for my work e-mail, contacts, and calendar. I also have a g-mail e-mail account. On my previous Android phones, Outlook for Android syncs with the Exchange servers, and e-mail and calendar are accessed through the Outlook app. Contacts syncs with the Android Contacts app. When I tried to set up outlook, email and calendar work seamlessly, but the contacts will not sync with the Android contacts app. I get a message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly", and there is a sync circle with an exclamation point in it.

Anyone else experience this and have you found a solution?

Found the solution! Outlook for Android has an additional setting to allow the syncing of contacts. All working now.

Here is the size comparison between the Mate 20 X, Note 8 phone, and Note 8.0 tablet


The Mate 20 X is only about 1 cm wider and longer than the Note 8 phone, but, at least so far, seems to be better for extended note-taking. Better battery-life and clearer and louder speakers are two noticeable features, along with the differences between Android 8 and 9.

Some have said that the Mate 20 X uses Wacom AES pen technology. Any ideas about a Wacom AES alternative to the Huawei Mate M-Pen?

I doubt it. Most likely, Huawei is not going to allow any other writing tech to be used successfully in the M20X. I don't know exactly what tech each one uses, but before my M-Pen arrived, I tried out the two Dell pens I have (V8Pro and V11Pro) and neither worked. I also tried out my friend's Apple pencil with the same results.
I would just go ahead and buy the Huawei pen if I were you. It's a really nicely done device. My only complaint is the lack of cases with pen slots or some other type of pen holster.

There is a case with a pen-holder on e-bay. A bit pricey, but worth it to me to be able to carry the pen with the phone.
