I am thinking of picking up the P9 Plus soon (L29) I am a bit concerned on how good the Mali 4core GPU is on driving the 1080p display as Ive only tried the s7 and the 12core just wrecks any game at 1440p. Also can the P9 Plus be rooted/boot loader unlocked with out losing warranty ?
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] bbadm:
Hello everyone! I'm coming from a Blackberry Passport and now have the Nexus 6p (about 2 months). Any Nexus 6P users with a P9 Plus that think it's a downgrade? I'm in the USA on At&t and I'm thinking about selling my Nexus 6p because of size and sometimes feels sluggish. I hear the P9s in general are pretty zippy and I'm thinking the software and chip may make it slightly better enjoyable experience for me.

The P9 Plus software UI doesn't seem like it would not be annoying with all the little features like screen resize (to help one hand use), fingerprint reader uses, and pressure touch. 1080p Amoled screen seems fine to me as well.

I'm just concerned about timely software updates, possibly slightly worse camera and bad video recording, and just paying more for a phone that isn't to par with 6P. Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated!
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] cturbos:
I have the NEXUS 6P,and got me the P9 plus,it's not a downgrade,the only thing is that the 6P is pure Android,otherwise the P9 is better (screen,touch,smoothness,smaller,faster,expandable storage).

Hope that helps
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] bbadm:
Thanks for your response.

How do you feel about the cameras in comparison between 6P and P9 Plus as far as primary and front facing? Any big difference between the two?

Does the international model have Google On Tap?

Problem Accessing Internal Storage

Thanks for creating this Help Thread.

I have the P9 Plus VIE-AL10 running on the latest B176 update. I'm experiencing two problems with the phone:

1. When I connect the phone to a PC (usb debugging turned on), the storage drive is not immediately accessible. It shows up as a blank page with no files. I then have to go to settings -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration and switch from MTP to PTP and back to MTP again before the contents of the internal storage appear on the PC.

2. I've been able to unlock the bootloader but I can't install twrp recovery.img with fastboot because each time I try, I get "Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote command not allowed". I can' proceed to root the phone. I believe this has something to do with the first problem of the internal storage not being accessible or locked, somehow.

Are these problems peculiar to the VIE-AL10 and are there ways around them? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

L29 has dual sim - one slot is only 2G. L29 only available in Gold despite some ads you will see.

Hi all,

I bought a huawei p9 plus from beijing, china. its the AL10 64GB version.

I got it up and running and tried my best to clean up the phone.

i have a couple of questions:

1. which huawei apps should I uninstall and/or disable? as I live in U.S., pretty sure not going to use the huawei ID and pay stuff

2. i noted that when i try to install large apps like MKSAP 17 (177MB) from google play store, the download would get to 90% and play store would crash. install not complete. when i try to open play store again, it closed immediately 2 more times before opening correctly again. any one have this problem and is there a fix?

Thank you in advance

Phone Finder (Phone Activation)

I made the mistake of enabling Phone Finder. Now when I tried to upgrade the rom and on first boot, it is asking me to Activate the phone. It tells me that the last activation was my Huawei account. So I entered my Huawei account info. It responds with "The network server is busy. Please try again later". I have logged into cloud.huawei.com to verify my account, and I do have the correct email address/password.

I have tried, removing my SIM and turned off the wifi to see if I can skip this screen with no luck. I have tried using just wifi and just cell service. Both with no luck. I tried calling the 888 number for USA support but the USA support won't support this international phone.

I have sent an email to huawei support through consumer.huawei.com, they have not replied.

Any suggestions?

Is there a way to turn this off on the phone using adb shell

Is there a way to skip this feature?

Phone: Huawei P9 Plus VIE-AL10 128GB

VIE-L29 is also available in gray / black as is my P9 Plus 64GB.

Other differences:

NFC is available on the Global model and not the Chinese model.

Language region lock. Not sure how to describe it but certain language combinations (for Swype) are not avaible depending on which version you buy. (No simplified Chinese typing on my Global version if I set the language to English, on my Honor 6 Plus (Chinese version) this was no problem, English system language + Simplified Chinese keyboard were available.)

Issues with Huawei P9 Plus - VIE-L29C185B152:

- When I set up different wallpapers for lock screen and home screen the phone is showing on the lock screen the same wallpaper as on the home screen.

- If I am using Nova Launcher or another launcher, the wallpaper scrolling is not working (even if using force scrolling)

- Ringtone volume is too loud if the phone is in my pocket or when the phone is kept face down on the table (for example). Even if I reduce the volume close to minimum, in the positions mentioned above, it is ringing at full volume.

Do you know if it's a general problem or just me?
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Niteruner:
There might or might not be an issue with my VIE-L09C150B160 on Rayglobe Custom rom, but it also appeared with the stock rom.

When attaching my power bank, the battery charge still goes down. I own the Anker PowerCore with 20k mAh and 2,4 A output per slot.

According to the app "ampere power meter" the power bank (and also the stock huawei charger) only charges with around 1,3 - 1,6 Ampere, but with google maps in navigation mode the battery still drains.

I also noticed, that sometimes the charge drops to 30 or 40 mA, barely charging the battery.

When unplugging the power bank or charger, the battery usage goes up to 1,3 ampere, which is quite normal for this modus operandi.

Is there are way to rise the charge input or is this some weird charging management done by the kernel or the build in battery electronics?

I've just taken delivery of a P9 Plus.

Apart from EMUI - which I have replaced with Nova premium then Google launcher, it's a fantastic handset.

I haven't experienced any of the screen on/charging problems talked about above when using the stock charger or a Moto charger rated at 1150 mA with a genuine USB C connector.

The handset charges quickly with Google maps in navigation mode when charged by a decent car charger (in this case a iVoler 27W/5.4A bought off Amazon).

No deal breaker here.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] EarlZ:
Try it with the stock charger then let us know.
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] allenf:
Yes, I've tried it with the stock charger/cable.

[MENTION=2753545]Niteruner[/MENTION], did you measure the charging current with the charge over about 90%? The device will go into trickle charge over 90% or so.

Also, cable is important: I've a Kocaso 1200mAH battery bank for mid day office top up.

With a USB micro plus type C adaptor the P9 charged painfully slowly - but charged quicker with a genuine USB type C cable.

I'm thinking that - because of the situation around fake/non-standard compliant USB type C cables, that Huawei will limit the charge current unless the handset senses a combination of charger voltage and correct drop resistor (standard compliant) in the cable.
