[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lobr1:
I’ve used stock or (virtually stock) Android phones for years. My last properly skinned phone was a Samsung Galaxy s II. So using EMUI on this phone has been interesting. There is a lot that I like, but here I’ll describe a few annoying quirks I’ve noticed, plus any partial-solutions I use. Hopefully this will inform perspective and current P20 owners, but also, if you have a solution to any of these problems, do let me know!

- The settings menu is terrible. They have messed with it so much, and added so many settings, that it is often impossible to find what you’re looking for. The solution is to search, which, thankfully, works well.

- The lock screen wallpaper changes every time you unlock the phone. I feel like an idiot, but I can’t work out how to set my own (single!) wallpaper. There are these collections which you can choose between, and then from the lock screen itself you can favourite wallpapers from the collection (not sure what this does) and pause on a wallpaper from the collection, and it looks like you can add your own collections, but this doesn’t seem to work. There MUST be a work around. All I want is the same wallpaper on my lock and home screen!

- Notification content (including media controls) is always hidden on the lockscreen until you authenticate, regardless of the app setting. This seems to be a bug. Setting up face unlock (and swipe to unlock) at least means you can see your lock screen with notification content when at a face-unlock-friendly angle.

- The double tap vol down to launch camera works fine, except when I’m listening to music, when it just turns down the music. No idea why they don’t give this functionality to the lock button like most OEMs.

- Unlock by voice for Google Assistant doesn’t seem to work. I’ve had this problem on other phones so don’t know if I’d blame Huawei. It responds to ‘OK Google’ from screen off (which is better than my OnePlus) but won’t actually unlock.

- The always on display is a bit weak. It doesn’t even properly show notifications.

Anything to add? What EMUI quirks have you found?

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cologne83:
I find the settings menu perfect compared to samsung or other brands.

Just open gallery, open any picture you want, set as background for home- and lockscreen, thats it :)

You can set to show always full content, even if not authenticated.

I´m sure there will be more options with further firmware updates :)

I have sometimes problems with starting my spotify automatically when connecting a bluetooth device, I think a sleep mode problem. Another bug is the one with updating widgets. My calendar widget f.e. crashes after a time. found a workaround with "your calendar widget".

But I think all in all its a great phone with great features :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mcfly76:
You can find this setting in 'Security & privacy' - 'Screen lock & passwords'

=> 'Update covers' to enable and disable it and 'Covers' to choose the pictures to show
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MotionBlyr:
EMUI has made me fall back in love with OxygenOS - the way EMUI treats notifications and the lock screen is diabolical. If I unlock my Oneplus 3 but don't read a notification, I can lock it again and the notification remains on the lock screen. The notifications span the whole screen, and work perfectly.

Also, Spotify on OxygenOS uses album cover art as lock screen wallpaper when playing, similar to how EMUI treats the local Music app.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
This gonna be a debate for eternity.

People who come from xiaomi or samsung wont feel too awkward with emui,

Different case if you come from AOSP, or Oxygen or LOS.

Best solution is slapping NOVA launcher as soon as you use the phone. :p
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] NZtechfreak:
I've used several Huawei phones now, in fact since the Mate 8 they've tended to be my main phones through most of the year (I still try others, but tend to come back for the battery life and cameras, granted the cameras have not been as good as competitors but the camera systems are more fun to me as a person with an amateur interest in photography and I've taken a lot of shots I don't think I could have got from the others). The P8Max was my first, and the UI/OS was a bit of a dogs breakfast - so many things were broken (many due to trying to increase battery longevity) and many other things required complex workarounds beyond installing Nova which I've had on each of them. It's pretty well fine now, but if you're coming from Samsung or others it's very different and will take a bit of time to adjust to - particularly the level of granular control you have on things affecting battery life. Once you get a handle on it you'll probably end up appreciating a lot of what it offers.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] qwerty1q:
Google Assistant works fine but it makes conflict with Huawei voice control (so turn off one of them)

Double tap volume down to launch camera is a great idea but why the hell it does not work when players or different apps are in the background.....

To enable or stop scrolling wallaper just swype from the bottom on the lockscreen and you will see Pause button at the left. if you press that, the scrolling will be disabled and a "play" icon will remain.

I've debloating quite a lot from emui.

Installed swap torpedo

Runs faster now and battery lasts longer.

Huawei should offer a vanilla update.

Last time I saw so much bloat was on Samsung.

Unnecessary.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Craig f:
EMUI was one of the reasons I ditched my P10 after 6 months, went back to an iPhone, then to a Nokia 5...

Have any of the roms developed for the P20 done away with EMUI otherwise this device will be another one i'll have to remove from the list of potential upgrades.

Killing foreground apps

Hi, just bought the p20 pro after years with Samsung. I have noticed that it often kills apps that I am currently using, sending me back to the home screen (reminds me of a crash to desktop in windows computers).

After some googling similar problems I adjusted the app auto start and ignore battery optimization settings and it did get better, although it is still killing apps which I presume is using a lot of memory or battery (or both?), for example posting stuff on Instagram (Instagram is whitelisted from optimization and managed manually).

This is really bugging me, anyone else with the same problem? I'm running android 8.1.0, EMUI 8.1.0 and memory always stays between 2,5 and 3 GB.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rajeshr:
This is one of the biggest problems I have with this phone. It keeps killing Skype and I miss calls due to it...
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vmaxx82:
Yeah, it's turning out to be a deal breaker for me.. Too bad since I really like the phone. Just hope it's a bug ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jtirrell:
Something seems to be happening to spotify when it is running in the background using my bluetooth headphones. I get stuttering and odd pauses, its basically unusable.

I have found if I use andriod auto to run spotify or use the wake lock program to keep the phone in a higher power mode it seems to help. If I have the charger plugged in it works fine as well. It appears to be some sort of power saving issue (yes I have told the phone to ignore spotify's power usage) or something to do with bluetooth power saving. But it works fine in a car.

Thats my only real complaint, and had I known I would have this issue I would have probably grabbed a onePlus device. Using Sure 215's
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
One thing I did notice, and I also fixed the problem quite simply.

I turned the display Resolution to HD from FHD my thinking was with a lower resolution I'd have better battery and better performance.

What I got was worse.

60fps lagged so badly it was unusable.

Transitions especially to the Google feed lagged and was annoying.

Asphalt 9 lagged and was extremely crap.

Turned FHD back on, all went back to silky smoothes??

Logic didn't exactly prevail here but it works.

So in short if you've turned on adaptive resolution or HD.

Turn it off

I'm facing this weird problem with my p20 pro. In. 128 and 131 and 152 firmware versions whenever in have an incoming call my screen doesn't wake up to show my who is calling me, unless I press the power button or the fingerprint sensor. If the call is missed my screen wakes up normally to show me the missed call notification. Any solution?? I have no fingerprint lock or pass code lock. Just swipe.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tsiglas:
OK... So you have to get it from start... First check if you have enable "screen wake up for In coming notifications" then find call app system app and see if there is any notification mode disable...then in lock settings re - check if there is something there that gives you this error. If none of this work do a factory reset. If you already done then relock dootloader and go to service...

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgonhed:
Hi,

I have a Fire 7 (2017) and fully charged in flight mode with no use at all it went from 100% to 85% in about 24 hrs.

Is that a normal battery drain or should I look for some app misbehaving?

And what exactly is flight more on this device?

I mean is there any difference between a device in flight mode and a device with simply wifi, blutooth and location turned off?

Many thanks!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakitu47:
Flight mode is Airplane Mode. By default it turns off all methods of wireless communication, but they still can be toggled. In Fire tablets, this only affects Wifi, Bluetooth and assisted GPS, but in other devices it also turns off things such as cell radios, NFC, WiMax, etc.

Check for any rogue apps running in the background.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
The observed idle fall off rate (~0.6%/hr) is typical for FireOS v5 and the stock app portfolio. The device itself can do much better; I observe an idle drain rate of <0.1%/hr on a nearly identical 5th gen device w/custom ROM. Unfortunately, swapping out FireOS is not an option for 7th gen owners.

For reference, an idle drain rate of 0.5-0.8%/hr is fairly typical for most mobile phones running Android 6+ with all radios/services fully engaged. Add a few 10ths for devices running stock Lollipop and below all else being equal (which is rarely the case). FireOS v5 is based on Lollipop.

Engaging airplane/flight mode disables all onboard radios, location and 'sync' with a single control. Disengaging restore those items to their previous state.

Hey, I just upgraded to the official sprint rom and hate their satellite nav program, but anyway, I wanted to know if anyone has any recommended software for use with the phone, my friend recommends Garmin XT but I can't find for sure if it even works with the Mogul. Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] RikoNaz:
Garmin XT works perfectly with the mogul. i have it on mines, you dont even need to use the GPS Launcher. it detects it automatically. i also have tomtom 6 navigator on mines as well. it works well too, but you have to use a gps launcher with that one.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] Lilinka:
A GPS launcher? Forgive the newbishness, but whassat?
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] RikoNaz:
Some GPS programs dont detect the mogul's internal Gps, so the Gps launcher, activates gps as well as the program at the same time.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17072

this is where i read up on it. However the Garmin XT Mobile doesnt require the launcher in order to use the mogul internal gps.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] whatsit:
Could you comment on whether or not Garmin XT has text-to-speech for street names? During my limited experience with TomTom (on a friend's phone), I noticed that TomTom didn't have this feature (or it wasn't turned on by default). Does Garmin XT announce street names?

Thanks.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] dbrown2:
NO, it does not have this feature or none that I can see. But it does work great, I think I like tom tom for some of the other features like advanced routing and I think the maps tom tom are more accurate. For example I get a lock at my house and it says that I am at 1057 and should be 1017.

But for the most part is works great.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] Asphyx:
Here is another vote for Garmin XT...

It does not read out the street names but I have found that I don't really need stephen hawkings telling me what the name of the street is as long as it is telling me when to make the turn! LOL

The Garmin also does a better job on streets with two names which is common in rural areas...

I live on a street that is a county road AND a state highway...

In Tom Tom I had to use the county road to enter in addresses but with Garmin it would take either street name and still find it.

There are a few nav proggies that do read names out to you but I don't think any of them have the other features and huge POI database of Garmin or Tom Tom.

I have both of those installed (8GB SD Card) and I have to say I never use the Tom Tom just the Garmin!
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] pakka008:
Quick question

Hi,

Please bare with me as I am very new to this.

I got my new Mogul last week and I do have unlimited internet and text msg on my plan. Is that sufficient to get me going with GPS? Or will I be billed for using GPS on my Mogul(Sprint)? Pls let me know as I am very much interested in using GPS.

Thx in adv.
[Mogul, XV6800 Accessories] dbrown2:
You really don't need either to use GPS unless you are going to use google maps or ms live. Then you would need internet connection.

Garmin, IGO, Tom Tom and others use the gps receiver in the phone that uses the sats in the sky without the need for monthly fees. So if you only wanted to use the phone and gps (no internet or sms) then you would not need a data plan or sms plan.
