What is your solution until an official fix?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] LOGMD:
So far none. It just started happening a few hours ago. When the system goes under stress - taking phonecall then trying to message people across 2 different apps and signal changing from WiFi and authenticating VPN then proof - my gesture app gets killed (been fine all day and exempt from all power optimisation) and Spotify gets killed even if it was the last app like instantly.

I'll see if I can dig deeper this weekend. Literally a little polish on the software would make this the best phone I've ever used. Right now it's the worst.

I have a Huawei m5 8 inch tablet with 4gb ram and it manages memory fine. Never had to tweak battery optimisations in the 9 months I've had it.

I hope they fix it before my 30 day cool off. Or this will be the second Huawei I return. The Nexus 6p was stellar (I know Google did the software end to end)

If I can get some advice access to some logs I can maybe find when and where they are killing the apps - maybe there's a memory leak. With 6gb ram I would have though you leave at least 1gb guaranteed to the last 4-5 recent app.

UPDATE: just a thought it might be the smart resolution causing apps to redraw. I've switched off smart resolution now. And switched on 720p fixed. Will test it over next day or so

UPDATE 2: After setting to fixed 720p signs are positive... Now I can go back 20 apps on the recents screen and they all do not redraw or reload. I think there may be a bug in the smart resolution. It's been 30 minutes and I just reopened an app that was open last in recently 30 mins ago. Try this and see if it works too.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] vwite:
Can you please let me know if OnePlus Gestures and Edge Gestures apps work fluidly in the mate 20 pro? I haven't purchased them yet but others gesture app I've purchased had compatibility issues with samsung phones, similar to issues some users were having with mate 20 pro and third party launcher, the gestures did work, but with a 2-3 second delay to go home. If you can confirm OnePlus Gestures and Edge Gestures work as fast as native mate 20 pro gestures I'll buy those apps.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] LOGMD:
I've used XDA gestures and a new app called Fluid N.G (it's seriously amazing to use) and there is 0 lag. It's almost as snappy as huawei own gestures. Check the gif attached (sorry for bad quality I did it quickly)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] xtrocata:
Sorry. After all the issues and head aches the Mate was giving people, I cancelled my preorder and went and bought the Note 9. Best decision I ever made (when it comes to phone purchases that is). So I won't be able to help you out.

But those two apps worked flawlessly on the LG G7 and now I only installed Edge Gestures on the Note 9 and it works without a hiccup.

Anyway, I think those apps have free versions, no?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] vwite:
I couldn't find free versions but I ended up purchasing them and they work good on my Note 9 but haven't tried them in the Mate 20 Pro. I'm actually switching from Note 9 to Mate 20 Pro but I'd say the best gesture app for Samsung phones is One Hand Operation+, you have to download goodlock first from galaxy store, then it'll let you install one hand operation+, I'd suggest you try it if you have a chance
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] jkwanness:
Not using smart resolution and locking the resolution to 1080 solved 80% of my ram problems... Haha as in you dont see the app rendering when switching between. I guess its a bug with different apps different resolutions therefore re-rendering upon switching... Suggest you guys try it...

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] LOGMD:
Yeah been half a day and no app crashes minimal reloading of apps. I'm at home today so battery drain is less anyways. I also turned off automatically manage all apps. That seems to contribute to aggressive killing.

What resolution you at? I'm trying 720p it still looks nice and crisp just can't play 1080 videos. Might switch back up to 1080 or QHD and see the battery difference.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] leo72793:
No issue here. Used it for 8+ hours straight. I have it all set to manage manually. Spotify can't autolaunch but allowed to remain in background
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] POLO_i780:
I have been using WQHD+ since I got the device and battery life has been outstanding.

Thanks for the suggestion around Manual Management of apps, it has improved multitasking a lot.

A pretty decent photo quality, however if you do not use the "Vivid colours" your images can appear quite washed out.

I am excited about this

https://www.news.com.au/technology/...e/news-story/29aefcf847fb39e2e37a17c4bb3f9510

Okay - article pumps up the phone... but then LOOK at the PHOTO sample v the iphone...... why is it that bad? I don't want to go near this phone, if this is its output. Who do we trust though? All reviewers saying it is amaaaaazing... Reminds my how I got sucked into my last huawei - Nexus 6P

The hundred or so (seemingly that amount) of youtubers who got the free trip top London and the early release, or the mainstream media? Or what?

That image comparison though - can't get past it
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] s3axel:
Judging from the small images I would assume that the Mate 20 had bokeh-effect on, the flowers seems to be pretty sharp and focussed but the background looks delibarately out of focus.

your photos look lovely - however the photo's ive tried taking so far in my office etc look very poor quality, right now my oneplus3 is better! which firmware are you on? im on 108.. still haven't received tany updates yet:(
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] LOGMD:
I'm on 122 and there were camera improvements as well as new camera features. I've found night mode to be inconsistent but when it works is glorious!

Coming from the p20 pro to this the seflie camera on the mate is terrible looks like we gone back a few years on the front camera almost makes it unusable for me...

Hi all,

I am on my third day of HM20 Pro.

Love it all and the photos sure, great

Have you guys tried to take photos from the messaging apps? Signal, message, whatsapp?

I cannot believe the... Worst quality ever!! Is there any config I am missing?

Just try it.. Send an MMS via the messaging (not taking the photo before, but actually from within the app) and let me know....

About to pack my new phone and return it....

Thanks for your comment!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] buxz777:
The camera is awesome... Maybe not as good as the P20 Pro though at night time
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] ooMoo:
i just stuck a Vodafone sim in for a few seconds to get the 122 update - camera is definitely a bit better! not had a chance to test much yet though, but from the few I have taken shots are appearing less grainy now.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] leo72793:
I feel with software it will beat the p20p. So far I'm satisfied as it's leaps better than my 10p I sold.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] tomaszupl:
This phone camera is a complete missery!

I've switched from Samsung Galaxy S7 and completely disappointed. I feel like my S7 did better photos than Mate 20 Pro. Here is a list of issues (aside of Gluegate - which affected my phone).

Front camera:

- overexposes selfies in almost all conditions

- HDR mode is quirky and either doesn't make any difference or renders too flat results

- This silly toast "please hold camera steady whike your photo is sharpening" pops up almost all the time, regardless of light conditions

Rear camera

- HDR mode is just useless

- there is no "auto HDR" settings and switch HDR on is taking too many clicks

- and yet again... toast from hell "please hold camera steady whike your photo is sharpening"... THIS IS RIDICULOUS! Even in super bright conditions, where single lens camera would do perfectly well, Huawei asks me to hold my camera steady for 1 sec? Come on!

I really hope Huawei fixes all of that because it's a complete joke.

Good luck
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] q8_devil:
From what i read it seems that Mate20pro is same as p20pro release and it will need few months before the software is actually as good as the hardware .

P20pro release was a disaster, photos looked like a cartoon .
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Xenychou:
Actually, I did some test with rear camera, multiframe stacking is always on in photo mode, so you have your auto HDR on all the time and that's probably why it asks to hold steady. I think it's merging 4 pictures.

The camera app is just too complicated, with different modes that do basically the same things.

It ends up being inconsistent when you leave everything on auto.

Sometimes it will be flat and washed out with no vignetting, other times it will have ton of constrast, oversatured colors and vignetting.

So now I did choose one mode and color parameter that consistently give results I like and stick with it.

Front camera is complete garbage imho
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Danmike:
Completly agree with this either the software is ruining it or just poor production ?
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] jawis:
One big reason for getting the phone was the camera. I had the LG v30+ previously and I loved it for the ultrawide focal length. I'm glad that mate 20pro added this. I'm really enjoying the big sensor also. The dng files look great so far. The LG v30 always had grain/noise in the raw files at no matter what ISO. I'm not seeing the grain being so intrusive with the mate20pro
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
Theres no OIS on Mate 20 Pro main camera. Its only exist inside the telephoto lens for stabilized zoomed image. Thats maybe the culprit behind blurry image on moving objects. I dont know, last time i took a picture on a fast moving car, dont see any blurry photos. But the point is, no matter what, non equipped OIS will never be stabilized as the one that has. Pixel & Galaxy phones has OIS on their main camera, while Mate 20 dont. But next P30 Pro will has OIS.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] WarVic:
OMG! No OIS in the main camera on $1k cameraphone?! Pre-historic Galaxy S6 had this feature. Okay, I should know what I'm buying. Now I'm fully convinced what to do next. Thank you.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] djingonthenet:
Trying different ideas....Took several shots of the same image (jumble of items on my desk) in pro mode AF-c and AF-s, in photo mode AI on & 4D PF on, AI off & 4d PF on, AI off & 4d PF off. Then the same again in 40mp, the pro mode shots were completely different in terms of focus, much clearer. I then looked at how i was holding the phone and noticed that the very tips of my fingers were touching the outer edge of the screen so i took more holding it like that and then making sure not to touch the screen at all, the latter came out as clear as the pro mode so I may be shifting focus away from the subject by touching the outermost part of the screen by accident.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
Dont exaggerate that much. Its not all bad. For example, Galaxy S9+ has OIS, Mate 20 Pro doesnt, but i've seen samples that S9 are more blurrier than Mate 20 does on fast moving object. AIS in Mate 20 also good, which can take 5 seconds long exposure + image stacking, handheld without a tripod, creating Night Mode images (Galaxy S10 has OIS, but their Bright Night is a disaster). Video stabilizing are better on S10 no doubt. So beside Pixel, other phones sometimes can do worse than Mate 20 Pro. It still a worthy flagship camera phone.

The way point & shoot camera on Huawei phones are different than others. In some situation (especially low lights), there are text came out like 'sharpening the photos, hold steady', u have to hold the phone for about 1.5 seconds until the text dissappear to get a clear shot as image stacking is going on (to increase dynamic range). If u dont want that, hold the shutter button until it goes to burst mode for capturing fast moving object. Pixel do it differently which is capture image immediately, then apply the image processing later (HDR+).
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] WarVic:
I just don't understand why Huawei decided not to put OIS on such expensive phone where the camera is the main feature and selling point. Mate 10 Pro, P20 Pro have OIS, Mate 20 Pro - doesn't. Seriously, what's wrong with you Huawei?!
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
Mate 10 Pro OIS only on Monochrome sensor, P20 Pro OIS same as Mate 20 Pro, only exist in the telephoto sensor.

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Mini Jay:
It depends on your usage. Vivid color is ok if you're not planning to do some color grading in post. But if you want to play around with color grading in pros, it's better to go for the standard mode when filming (same logic goes for the photos)
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
I love the 'smooth' color gradient, it has that Leica identity looks.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Mini Jay:
Really ? I haven't tried that one yet. Is it also good looking for videos ? I am planning to go on hiking this weekend to film few shots I may try that smooth color gradient if you recommend it :D
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] grizzlyspid86:
I use that smooth color gradient on video recording, everytime, especially on low lights. The standard mode is a bit overexposed for my taste lol.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Real Life Review] Mini Jay:
Haha yeah I agree standard mode is ok after color grading in Premiere Pro or FCX otherwise it feels tasteless. I will try that Leica looking smooth mode, this weekend. All that can save me time in post is welcome. Thanks for the tips

This is a zoomed in image I'd say about 30 meters (98 feet) away from that squirrel. It was extremely bright and sunny, the phone nicely compensated for the shade against the bright sky.

When I shot in 10MP looks like hdr is automatic (maybe is correlated to the message "sharpening image don't move the camera (more or less)?)

And I don't really like the outcome of the photos taken. Cif I manually set the resolution to 40 mp the photos looks much better (in This type of scenario, in other cases the 10pm photos are better )

Yeah the over processing is quite noticable. The 40mp is lacking hdr though and takes huge hit on the dynamic range compared to 10 mp.
