i'm totally impressed by mate 9 wifi, i have everywhere in my house good and fast wifi signal, even in the kitchen and basement.

with all my old phones (allview x2 xtreme, oneplus one, lumia 630, xperia z1) i have only 0/4 bars wifi in the kitchen and i can't even send text messages over wifi. with the mate 9 i have 2/4 bars and i can even watch youtube videos on the same place.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] bonerp:
No issues here. Its very good.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] blackspp:
Extremely good, both with WiFi and Bluetooth. Far better than my LG G4 and GF's Galaxy 7.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] rsokin:
I have exactly the same problem as limcc.

Upload speed is ok but down load 30 Mbps max. My other phones download with over 100Mbps.

If someone has a solution I would be reall grateful.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] lyall29:
Same problem with mine...I may be sending this phone back to Amazon. I've had a few slow downs also that I never have with my OnePlus 3T.

Edit...I did nothing to try and fix the wifi speed, and now it's working better. I may keep this phone after all. I'll give it a few days at least.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] lyall29:
This test was done after several tests that reached only 30-35Mbps.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] lyall29:
I locked the screen, put the phone down for a couple of minutes and ran the test again:eek:. I don't know what's going on with this device
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] el_zari:
I have a problem too!! No more of 30-60 megas, with another phones let 300......

Any ideas??

Asus's problem or Huawei's problem?

Have you all tried changing the WiFi channel? My Mate 9 was running fine on 5GHz 128 under B126 but struggled after upgrading to B136. I switched to channel 36 and it's all good now.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] lyall29:
How do I switch channels? I do see that my phone is on the 2.4Hz most of the time.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Governa:
You change channels in your wifi router.

I've disabled 2.4GHz at home as it's badly congested, all my neighbors seem to be using it whereas no one seems to be using the 5.0GHz spectrum. Do note that if you keep both enabled your phone will tend to connect to 2.4 as it typically has a longer range than 5.0.

Keeping it WPA2 only (disable WEP and WPA), setting the encryption to AES only (disable TKIP), and n/ac only (disable g) will also increase throughtput.

I used it when on holiday with a lot of wifi-hotspots.

The WIFI is incredible. Where the iPhone 7 plus from my girlfriend couldn't even see the WIFI hotspots, i could see and connect just fine.

That's pretty impressive
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] wooties:
My master bathroom is a pretty much wifi deadspot in my house for my V10.. it's REALLY tragic. I got the Mate 9 yesterday and it gets .11AC in the bathroom! I'm amazed at it's reception. Man, I made a good choice. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] yyiimm:
This issue is happening other Huawei phones, such as honor 8 or P9 which support 11ac.

I believe it's a bug.

This happens when you are using wifi with channnel Bandwidth of 80Mhz or 160Mhz.

So the only workaround at this time is to change the router setting to 20Mhz or 40Mhz.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] goran85:
hi have the mate 9 pro and wifi problems with the speed... hava a 250Mbps broadband and full signal standing near the modem and in phone wifi settings it says the connection speed is 433Mbps and bougt a cheaper lenovo p2 and it has the same 433Mbps connection. but the mate 9 stuggles with only 130Mbps and jumps up and down every time i do speed test.. same speed test on the lenovo p2 and i getting the full speed 250Mbps every metering without any struggels att all it goes to max speed in a second i every test.. really annoning bug in the huawei and still now release for the wifi? someone most have the solution. mate 9 can get full speed stable also its just something thats stops it from doing so, tried wiped cache and tried factoeyreset.. same shi*.. just because of this little bug im thinking of selling my mate 9 pro and stay with lenono p2 but love the mate in all other ways... and huawei doesnt seem to care and thats worries me the phone have been out for a time now and still no wifi update... mayby there is a workaround? im trying everingrhing likes changing channels on router and changed to static but same shi*... even tried another router.... but i got a feeling there is a way to fix this... wtf this not i cheap phone and still cheap phones outpreform the mate 9 in wifi speed thats not right! so please anyone come with an solution to the instable and slow wifi on mate 9. kind regard G ?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Governa:
Are you running the WiFi in 2.4 or 5.0? Which channel? Have you tried any of the tips posted in this thread?

You have got to be kidding me... the Mate 9 has only been released 2½ months ago! You seriously need to chill.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] ginda10:
Here's mine using 5Ghz router.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] D0NZ:
^

WOW! How fast are your net speeds there! Im in Australia and on Telstra NBN, my highest from my PC(!!!) is 25Mbps and no more than 5Mbps on upload! Never mind what I get with Wifi! Actually...im getting terrible wifi with my Mate9...tried all the tricks mentioned here and other site...no luck! My trusty old HTC M8 trumps the Mate9 on wifi - so back to dealer my mate9 went! :(
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] JesseMT4G:
I have tried it next to both my note 5 and S7edge and both those phones I am at the minimum of 65 mbs down and 10 up, which is what my provider states I should get. My M9 is never over 40 and 6. Weird.... Not that I can tell the difference that much, but definitely strange. Maybe because of the aluminum body? I remember my HTC m8 was weaker due to the body.... Besides that, loving this phone!
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] zuuus:
Terrible speeds on 5Ghz here. I've got an MHA-L09C34 connected to an Asus N55U. At 2.4Ghz the maximum link speed it ever gets is 72Mbps, at 5Ghz it connects at 130Mbps then after about 10 seconds it drops to 14Mbps.

It doesn't matter where I am in the house (mainly about 3 metres away with no walls, as the router is in the kitchen) yet the Mate 9 always says excellent signal.

Every other device like laptop, wife's iPhone, cheap Xiaomi Mi Box, etc connects at the full 300Mbit to the 5Ghz. I have tried all the 5Ghz channels (it's on CH 36 now), have tried all different configs of the router including changing wifi name and security type, have tried factory resetting the phone twice, factory resetting the router, even downgrading router firmware but nothing seems to work. So at the moment I'm stuck using the 2.4ghz at 72Mbps. It's not ideal though as all my neighbours use 2.4ghz and my internet speed is 100/40 so it's bottlenecked by the wifi connection.

Recently tried a different cheap router which was 2.4ghz only and the phone still connected at a max of 72Mbps, so I believe the problem may be the phone.

So for now I'm patiently waiting on a firmware update for the Mate from my provider Optus, but they take forever to push through OTA updates. Not even guaranteed that will fix the issue though.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Sho-Bud:
My mother in law got a new internet modem. I got a 433 Mb wifi connection to it. Running the speedtest is useless, 'cause she only has a 10 Mb internet connection.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] DominikHolecek:
Can I suggest that you (all of you) contact Huawei support and tell them about this issue?

Contact Huawei support

I did this today and they already replied me - they expected me to have configured my router in a bad way etc..., because they haven't noticed any WiFi issue with Mate 9 so far!

Of course, I wrote them another email and I tried to describe this problem as well as possible. I compared the maximal WiFi throughput to other smartphones I use and I told them I had tried changing routers and router settings, however, the result was always the same - no improvement at all and the 72 Mbps limitation (when using 2,4 GHz) persists.

I also suggested that they try it on their own and I hope, they will do it and find out, it doesn't work as it should - so they will try to fix it ASAP

I would be really thankful if anyone else reported this WiFi issue to Huawei, because the more complaints they get, the bigger chance of workaround we have... ;)
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] tboy2000:
I too am disappointed in WiFi speeds. I have enabled to show data speed in the status bar. I also have enabled this on my spare Moto X Style. Both are connected to the same network of my Virgin router which has 70meg download speed. I launch the play store simultaneously on both devices and download a large game. On the Moto the download speed in the status bar varies between 40meg and 60meg. On the Mate 9 it varies between 2.2meg and 3.4meg. A HUGE difference. It clearly isn't the router but the phone. What can be done to fix this? I love this phone but this is not right.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Sho-Bud:
With my Mate 9 PD I tested at home: at 2.4 GHz I got a 72 Mb link. Download speed I tested was 27 Mb. My max. internet speed is 30 Mb, so it seems to be ok. Got to find a faster internet line to test the maximum speed. Internet modem/router is a Fritz.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Isbdeep:
Definitely an issue....

So I am trying out the Mate 9 after I broke my Note 4. I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active at the moment but felt the screen was small. Long story short, I ended up with two Mate 9s, one of which is going back, if not both. I am running a Verizon FIOS connection and compared the two Mates with the Samsung to see how the wifi fares. The results are night and day... 8 Mbps on the Mate 9s vs 30 Mbps downloads on the Samsung, repeated multiple times via the speed test app as well as the built in tool in chrome. Anybody willing to comment on this ?

Edit: New user so can't post the pics/screenshots.

Edit: both Mate 9 show my server location as Accra, Ghana... Wtf!!? I am in Northern VA, USA and the Samsung picks this up correctly. Does having an active sim card make a difference to the wifi speeds???
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Isbdeep:
Contacted Huawei Support...

Called up using the Huawei Support app that came installed on the phone, pleasantly surprised that I was able to speak to an actual person on a Saturday evening. I explained the wifi situation and his response was that yes, it may be slow but wait for the latest update which might resolve this. When I asked if this was a firmware update he said that he meant the latest security update . No immediate resolution though.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] Swan Princess:
Yeah, that happens. Get a GPS app on the Play Store, reset the A-GPS data and try the SpeedTest again, some location issues make you connect to a slow server for testing. It's not a slow Wi-Fi I believe!
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] 2pac1977:
I have the same problem . My wifi speed is **** , my old phone is faster . What can be done to fix this?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] tboy2000:
Mine too. I am on B172. I really really hope a later rom will fix it (B181).
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] daviro63:
The same problem on my P10:confused:
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] kazprotos:
Pixel - 81 Mbps (wifi settings shows link speed 144 Mbps)

Mate 9 - 42 Mbps (wifi settings shows link speed 65 Mbps)

Run consecutively a few times from the same spot near router - on a 100 Mbps connection with Wifi - N router (that is actually Huawei too haha)

I guess Huawei HiSilicone wifi modem isn't great
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] born_fisherman:
I have a more advanced router than most (Meraki) - and found this info regarding the Mate 9 connectivity Vs. my iPhone 7. Not sure why the Max Bitrate is only 390Mbps.. Assuming this is firmware related and not hardware since it's a newer device that should have up to date specs. Does anyone have insight into the build.prop or something that may limit the Wi-Fi? Is it related to only certain devices (mine was purchased on Amazon)?

I have the same issue. I suspected bluetooth could be causing this so I temporarily disabled Bluetooth and the test maxed out the speeds then.

Getting slow speeds on T-Mobile. The area where I live has great 4glte coverage that my other devices pick up easily. Just got my mate 9 today and hoping the speed improves over the next couple of days so that I don't have to return this otherwise awesome phone. Anyone have similar problems or know a fix?
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] dscline:
I'm on T-mobile and I feel like I get better much reception/performance than I did with My Note 3. But my Note 3 was an AT&T version which didn't support Band 12, so being able to take advantage of Band 12 now may be part of the improvement.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] rndchef:
I drive through a tunnel everyday and used to lose the call 100℅ of the time on the Nexus 6P. Not on the Mate 9. Tmobile carrier.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] NikiFue:
My old phone had 2/5 bars 4G inside my house, mate 9 has 4-5/5 bars 4G+ and speed is generally very good, the network connection is very stable even when signal is low.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] m0biusace:
On AT&T. Consistently gets 4-6 dbm better on LTE than my ATT Note 5. I maintain usable LTE reception in many areas the note 5 cannot. The note 5 already outclassed many other phones in RF signal strength -- the mate 9 is a stellar performer in this regard.

EDIT: 4-8dbm better than OnePlus 3T, 4-5 better than LG G5. Also on ATT.
[Huawei Mate 9 Real Life Review] ajsmsg78:
On T-Mobile I'm getting an average of 4-5 dbm's better than any other phone. It seems like Huawei is the new king of radios. That's one of the reasons I ended up keeping my Mate 9. I am getting service in spots (for example the pro shop in my bowling alley) where I never even had any service before.

I have the same problem but yesterday i managed to make it work... just let the battery drain so low that it doesn't even start the screen, (keep the phone on its side and keep some books on it, that should repeatedly switch on/off the phone amd drain quickly) then charge.

Can you boot into fastboot ?
[XDA Assist] Harry Georgiou:
I have a phone which has been rooted due to a problem I encountered where I had to flash and re-install my Android thl5000 device. I have the ultimate v3 on it. It was fine until I again installed a dodgy application where I had to try to remove it via an anti-malware app. Out of my curiosity one of those applications was the cheetah and Go Security anti-malware app.

I searched the forum and could not find a similar issue.

Now all the anti-malware and anti-virus applications I have installed do not detect any malware on my phone. I have the stubborn trojan removal software which I also have used and still it has not detected anything. I have a web anti-virus security which has not detected any problem with my phone.

My problem is I have 3 applications that as a result of my lack of wisdom keep re-installing themselves upon bootup.

'Android is optimizing 1 of 3 apps'

When my phone loads up I have 3 applications (which can be uninstalled without a problem apparently).

they are

"Go Security"

"Superb Cleaner"

"Ace Cleaner"

I have messaged the developers in their apps and they have not responded, once or twice the Go Dev for 'Go Security ' team got back to me about trying to help me permanently remove it but after several attempts of clearing the cache, the removing from google play and doing the same removal from safe mode and even trying from the root to find similar looking files, there seems to be no way to remove whatever is causing their re-installation.

The only application I have found that identifies the applications as low reputation apps is Sophos.

I will try the hummingbird application that someone suggested in another thread in the XDA assist ... hummingbad-malware-android-t3484704 .

It could be there is malware hidden behind these applications and I want to find the source of this and remove it. I am not sure how. I have a USB cable, I have mtk droid tools I think on my laptop, I have my phone on developer options.

When I uninstall the applications there seems to be no installation, either this is fake or it uninstalls part of the program and upon reboot calls the apk file responsible which is hidden deep in the phone.

In safe mode and all the other techniques I have not found a solution yet. On google there is a bit but nothing about this specific case and its source.

Any thoughts for those with a bit of experience would be grateful, I will also post this same post in the Sophos Security forum to see if their experts can offer any thoughts, in case anyone else has the same problem as me.

[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
Greetings and welcome to assist. If you just want to remove those apps then there are a couple of very simple ways while you have root. You could just delete the apps with a root browser but the easiest would be to use titanium backup or anything similar to remove the apps

Good Luck

Sawdoctor
[XDA Assist] Harry Georgiou:
Titanium backup was able to uninstall the applications just like the other methods of uninstallation but after rebooting my phone the 3 applications re-install themselves.

Any other thoughts?
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
Have you tried to freeze them instead? If you actually know the package names it's easy to delete them with root browser
[XDA Assist] Harry Georgiou:
How do you mean freeze them?

What do you recommend? They cannot be force stopped, only uninstalled.
[XDA Assist] Harry Georgiou:
I just checked Titanium Backup to see if that is what you mean and realised you meant that.

I just checked and it said they can only be frozen in the version you pay/donate money for.

Any other way?

How to I isolate what causes them to be started up in the first place, like using MTK droid tools or something? What command is set by what program to call them to be installed so as to track down the culprit and file causing this problem.

It would help me and others who know not how to deal with it.

Harry
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
If you have root then their is an option in titanium backup to freeze the apps rather than uninstall them. This will prevent the app from starting
[XDA Assist] Harry Georgiou:
This is only available for the paid version. I tried it and I have root access since I allowed Titanium backup to have root facilities with SU User

Any thoughts?

Also how do I find out the reason they are starting up in the first place?

I can simply ignore them after uninstalling hoping my phone does not restart but this does not solve the issue at its core.

Any thoughts?
[XDA Assist] sawdoctor:
The android is upgrading message is probably because the apps have not been removed properly thats all so no do not worry its normal. Using titanium backup you should be able to find the actual name of the app and then actually delete them with a root browser. You can try similar apps to titanium back up like rom toolbox, package disabler or 3c toolbox to see if they can uninstall them or freeze them. It is a very easy thing to fix when you have the phone in front of you but harder to talk you through it unfortunately
[XDA Assist] Harry Georgiou:
Thanks,

I will try the applications you have suggested.

So far Root explorer does not really identify them apart from various folders, Titanium backup does not freeze them unless I donate money.... I would like to but kind of thinking having a limited budget long term to try to scrimp and save here and there.

Will try

Rom toolbox

Package Disabler

3c toolbox

I will let you know how it goes and other options, on top of that what else could I do?

Is there a way to dig deep down in the system and identify the different commands that the system calls up to bring them into installation?
