Things to know

Max recording resolution is not 2160p as said on the internet but max 1080P.

If you unlock the bootloader it will give you a warning when you boot up the phone saying your phone has been unlocked and can`t be trusted, this is normal when you unlocked the bootloader.

Only 1 of the 2 simcards can use 4g at the time, so there is no 4g for both of the simcards at the same time.

Hold power and volume up when starting the phone to get in the E-recovery menu.

There is only one version of this phone, the chinese one.

This version is called the EDI-AL10, and all the languages are provided on the phone.

Some websites who are selling this phone are telling that this phone misses certain languages such as dutch.

This is not true, every language is present so no worries.

Playstore is not included on the phone, you can simply download it from the HiApp which is already pre-installed on the phone.

The fingerprintscanner can take up to 4 fingers, the fingerprintscanner only works when you activate an unlock code or password to get out of the lockscreen.

Latest rom version is B029.

Previous B027

Previous B022

Quickfixes/Tips and tricks:

Push notifcations

To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.

The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.

Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.

This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.

Homebutton changer (provided by kalinskym)

To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted. Download Debloater from http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and disable HiVoice.apk. (com.huawei.vassistant) After you have done that you won't see HiVoice anymore and will be able to change an app/ shortcut to the home button long press by going into Apps in Settings, clicking on Advance at the bottom. Then click Default app settings and finally Assistance & voice input to change assist app (home button app/shortcut)

One handed mode

To activate one handed mode drag you finger on the navigation bar from left to right to make the screen smaller and using for the right hand.

And drag it from right to left to make the screen smaller for using it with your left hand.

Once activated drag it in the opposite way once to restore full screen or tap once on the screen above that isn't in use.

Knuckle gesture/Splitscreen

To activate "Knuckle gesture" or just splitscreen, swipe your knuckle in the center of the screen from left to right or right to left.

When doing this succesfully the knuckle command will activate splitscreen.

Knuckle gesture/Advanced screenshot

Touch (knock) your knuckle on the screen and keep touching the screen, there will come a blue sparkle once activated drag a circle or square and it will give you a selection field.

On top are some figures you can choose from.

You can now select the part you want the screenshot from and save it directly on to the phone.

Double tap your knuckle on the screen to make a full screenshot. (same as volume down+power button)

Drawing an S on the screen with your knuckle will create a screen shot while it scrolls down the page.

This wil create a screenshot with a larger screenshot containing all the footage on the screen.

Now you don't have to make multiple screenshots to get everything on the screen and down.
