Why can't I receive cellular data on my new Huawai P30 clone with Android 9.1?

Gerry K. · July 2020

I bought a new phone - a clone of the Huawai P30 Pro and moved my Sim card from my old phone to the new one. I receive texts but I don't receive emails nor MMS texts on the celluar network. I have checked the APN network settings and they appear to be correct.

Did you check if the phone has the lte b4?
Do you still have data?

Try with this settings, remember to restart the phone

If it's a "clone" then it might be because it's a fake phone?

What are the spec of the clone, I mean it's important to know if it work with Fizz network?

Hi Gerry.
I don't recommend using clone, or chinese copy phone.
Cause the android os firmware is modified. The system can say Android 9.1 but in real it's an android 5 or 6. The system can say exemple 6gb of ram, 2.3ghz octo-core, 128gb space, but in real its like 512mb ram, 1.2dual core, 8gb space. Ive been missing with many clone and chinese clone. The phone could be only 4g or 3g.
The best thing to do in your case if you have a cheap budget is to buy a prepaid phone in grocery or pharmacy. Now prepaid phone cames unlocked.
Have a nice day

Thank you for the replies especially for the APN settings. I was going to snd a picture of the settings pages but Supreme Geek has shown most of them. I will try them out. The phone is supposed to be capable of LTE Band 4 at multiple frequencies.

Mathieu was right about the Android version. I ran a number of System Information Apps and they all came back with the same version - Lollipop 5.1, i don't know why they would not use the latest Android version. With all the right settings and WiFi off, I don't get data of any kind - email nor SMS. I'll just go back to my old phone which was pretty good - an LG G6
