I've noticed this also. It's definitely a light issue as I've taken some really good selfies.

You can change a setting at the top in the centre when you swap the camera around. It keeps the setting and when you flip back to selfie keeps it. I think this helped reduce the whiteness.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Maxuellll:
Thank you for your reply :). I dont understand what setting are you talking about, it is a setting for the rear camera or for the selfie camera? In the read camera, in the center of the main screen i only see the the color mode (standard, "smooth colors" or "vivid colors") is that the setting you are talking about?

Thank you in advance and excuse my poor english
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] btblue:
Hi.

Yes that was the setting. I changed it and then switched the selfie camera. Seemed to work as I managed to take a really good selfie that was good enough as a profile photo. It is still a little white though.

Just out of interest are you using the Chinese Rom version?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Maxuellll:
Thank you for your reply. I'm not using the Chinese version, I'm using the rom for Latinoamérica as I'm from argentina and my home language is Spanish. I'm with the b111 software version, waiting for the new update, do you have it?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] btblue:
Hmm. No I've just rebranded my phone to L29. I think it's a lighting issue. Some of the selfish I've taken are way too pale. I've turned that beautify app off which seems to be the culprit take a selfie with the light in front of you should reducer be amount of whitening effect.

i am a big fan of emui, there's not much more to say, great design, very smooth, many useful functions, app drawer is back, only thing: i miss the option to hide applications from the homescreen (drawer) like in earlyer emui versions.

and the theme variety is also very little for emui and it changes not much from the system ui, i hope there will be more soon.

the camera software was a bit confusing at the beginning, but now i get used to it and everything is clear now. i wish there would be some more modes like, landscape, snow, beach, night, firework and so on like on xperia devices.

and the hdr function is not very convincing, i don't notice andy difference between normal and hdr, normal photo looks a bit hdr, and hdr looks a bit hdr but nothing more...

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] bym007:
It sounds like a battery hog to me, by opening extra channels on your LTE.

A bit like MIMO on WIFI.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] abu busyra:
LTE is also having MIMO nowadays ya...most mobile operators have deployed this to get more throughput.

Its a good UI but it can be better. It have some flaws as no double tap to wake, double tap to sleep, offscreen gestures.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] aindow:
The camera UI could be improved slightly as things like the zoom x doesn't change orientation when you use the phone in landscape rather than portrait.

Mate9 SW

I had this phone for almost half year and it was awesome. Big screen, smooth EMUI, perfect camera, performance really high. Only one bug this phone had, and seems only in my case. When I turned bluetooth screen freezes and you cant do anything, unless you reboot it with power button. Of course I set up a fingerprint unlock and then after phone turned on i had to input password (that i know which is it) and phone wouldn't accept it. That lead me to hard reset and frp unlock etc. After some research I found that that could happen to some phones that are unlocked from network carrier.

Also one cons of big phones is that whenever you go at the bar or restaurant everyone can see what you doing on your phone. So i went from Mate 9 to P10 Plus a small resize of phone :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] samsungandriod:
I like the EMUI, but i have a question about GPS. with other brand of the phone, i can enable location service based on the wifi or date, at the same time disable GPS. when using the map, i simply enble the GPS from the drop down menu. and disable it once i finished using the map. however, with Mate 9, i have to go to the setting to enable the GPS if using the map, and if i disable it via the drop down menu, then it also diable the location service. is there is a way around? basically i want permentally enable the location based on the wifi or data, but only tougle on of off GPS when using the map. thanks

3rd Huawei Mate device. 2,8,9

Fast charging, SLOW discharging. What's not to like?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] vijer:
I've had my Mate 9 for 2 months and today was the first time I used the included charger. It charged the battery to 90% in about 50 minutes. There is an annoying Ad Bloated lock screen when using the Huawei charger and cable. What aholes, they are making plenty of money, I shouldn't have to see that crap, even if it is only briefly.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Governa:
No idea what you're talking about. I have none of that. C432.

Rogue app perhaps?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] vijer:
This is what I am talking about. Never saw this fast charge screen before. The only new app I've installed is Nova Launcher, maybe it is displaying the ads?! In which case, that is okay because it is the non-Prime version.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Jamestdd:
I never saw something like that on my mate 9. Maybe it's the launcher you use ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] vijer:
I looked all through the Nova Launcher settings and didn't find any mention of a lock screen setting of any sort. And it begs the question, why would Nova Launcher have a lock screen for Quick Charge, Trickle Charge, etc. ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Swan Princess:
What the hell have you done to your phone, that it shows ads on the lockscreen!? Mine is just black, with a green charging bubble circle, if I connect the charger.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Governa:
That is definitely not normal EMUI behaviour. You need to go through your apps and find the culprit.

Exacly.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] vijer:
When I first plug it in I get the green charging bubble, then after a few seconds this screen shows up. Don't know what I did. Using all the same apps I've been using for years, with the exception of adding Nova Launcher a week ago.

Crazier still, I ran the Huawei cleaner and now that lock screen charging screen doesn't display anymore!
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] revjamescarver:
Nova Launcher

That's what's causing the ads, had it on my galaxy s5 as well and the same garbage ads so I uninstalled it
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] vijer:
I contacted the developer of Nova Launcher and they claim they don't have any lock screen functions. Also, since I ran the Huawei cleaner that screen has gone away and hasn't returned.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Governa:
Long shot but are you running apps from Cheetah Mobile / Kingsoft (Clean Master, CM Security, WPS Mobile, News Republic, etc)? If you are I strongly recommend you get rid of them. See this: https://xdaforums.com/mate-9/help/odd-behaviour-pre-installed-app-t3521031

Interesting post.

The first thing I do with any phone/computer is remove or disable every bit of crapware, which is my main reason for rooting. That includes stock browsers, calculators, HiCare, etc. I also disable data on every app I don't think should be using it and I run AdAway to minimize adware.

In any event, the mentioned lock screen completely disappeared after I ran the Huawei cleaner. Disturbing though, so I will remain watchful.

Thanks for your feedback.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Kirkymole:
Excellent charging speed. Can't fault it. What I can fault though, is the susceptibility of the charger port to dust and other crap that can accumulate in it and prevent the connector slotting in nicely. Having to clean the port out once a week isn't something I'm a fan of. But nevermind, I'm more than happy with the phone so I can let it slide.

One thing though, anyone worked out how to turn off the charging animation (the bubble with blobs going into it) off?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Addymore:
Got 4500mA in Ampere.... The fastest charging rate... I ever got...! The Huawei SuperCharge.... is good....
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] phixion35:
Supercharger is the real deal!! I've recorded up to 4.6A charging current using the 3C Battery Monitor app, as well as a nice USB power meter/monitor which reflects the same charge current. Even charging at QC 3.0 it still charges pretty quickly at up to 3.1A I've seen before. I bought a genuine Huawei Supercharge 12v socket charger for my car and even found a nice (though pricey) fabric wrapped USBA - USB-C cord that supports 5A Supercharging current. It's pretty interesting how picky the Supercharging is if the right charger (naturally) or capable cable isn't used. I bought some cheap supposedly OEM like 5A cables on Ebay that would NOT allow Supercharging when used. Even plugged into the wall charger that came with my M9, the phone wouldn't even reach fast charging with the counterfeit Supercharge cables. Next on the list is the expensive and hard to get Huawei AP09S power bank.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] kanej2006:

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Sho-Bud:

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] peruvianman:
Purchased this baby about a week ago from Best Buy in the States. Phone charges fully within 1 hr & 45 mins to 2 hours when battery juice is down to 2-3%. Is that reasonable?

I've noticed that when I connect the phone to the OEM charger and plug to power outlet, it takes about 8+ seconds for phone to start charging. Is this normal? Used to own a Moto 5g Plus and battery would start charging as soon as charger got plugged in.

In the thread rating. The thread rating is supposed to be your review of this aspect of the phone. I was confused because this thread had a 1 star rating (worst), but your review sounded positive.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] duraaraa:
On the Chinese version, in my experience, if you do nothing but use the phone, you'll probably get 10 or so hours of SOT. On standby/getting notifications, the battery of the phone drains probably 1-2 percent per hour of non-use, depending on what you have running. So in one day, let's say a 16 hour day, 8 hours using the phone, 8 hours with the phone on standby, you will just barely make it through the day. I'm a light user during the day (I always have a computer at work so why would I need to use my phone?) but even messing around a lot with the phone, I can end a 9 hour workday at 80 percent with about 1 hour SOT.

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] D1G1TE:
I loose 1-2% of battery per night. Tweaked settings a bit. . Wifi/Bluetooth/NFC off during night. Check which apps are are eating your MaH in battery usage details during night time. For example my biggest eaters are Google Fit with approx 5 MaH per night and Swift Keyboard with about same + Hardware consumption of course, phone standby, device idle,... I have set most my applications to automatically close after I lock my screen. So I don't have to do that manually.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Governa:
3% in 9 hours. 3 apps left running in the background (FB, FB messenger, and trigger). BT off, Wifi & mobile data on (2 active SIMs).
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] D1G1TE:
Very simple solution how to conserve power and increase standby time during your sleep is to turn off wifi and bluethooth. Unless it's critical for you during your sleep. :) For example today I went to sleep with 66% battery left, slept 9 hours and woke up with 66%. Less than 1% battery consumed over 9 hours.

I just got this phone 3 days ago, on its second charge and I went to bed last night at 11 o clock. Went from 92 to 91 percent when I got up at half Pas 6 this morning. Can't complain there :)

Still on the 126 firmware tho.

Edit/

So I got the update to 138 a few days ago and things looked real bad. At first, for some reason the battery got about 20 percent worse than at 126. I'm not a Facebook user so I can't blame Facebook nor messenger for that, I don't have those apps installed.

Now after a few days battery had gotten a lot better with this firmware and now I can say it's pretty much the same as the 126 update. Maybe even better!
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] danilkazzz:
My standby drain is pretty bad for a phone with such a huge battery. I just wiped the phone yesterday (for the third time), didn't recover from backup but set it up as a new phone to avoid the Google Sync problems I previously had. I installed just 8 apps: Twitter, Whatsapp, Telegram, Snapseed, Yelp, Youtube Studio and Spotify.

After 50% have gone, I have 2:50min of screen on time. As you can see, the phone wakes up way too often. In the very beginning of the graph I just unplugged the phone and let it rest. It seemed to deep sleep, but still lost about 6%. I also turned off wifi for an hour somewhere in the middle, but it doesn't show up. The battery life could be just so much better.. It's just disappointing.

I put the screenshots in the Google Drive. Can't post them here for some reason?! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzAs5-iV39iCTUpnYmpiLXJ5WEk

[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] ShaKki:

in my case, bluetooth and wifi scanning were off. I use some tweaks to reduce battery consumption, so I guess it's the firmware (I'm currently using B156). I hope this issue will be fixed with a new firmware release.
