So, i've had the BLA - L29 C436 (mate 10 pro EU) for a couple of days and these are my good views and bad views on it :
Cons :
- had issues with a message form android system that i can't away . a) even if i go into the notification -> system apps -> Android system and take all the notifications to off. b) when you normally tap "done" it should go away, which it doesn't . This for apps that normally "display over other apps" like blue light filters.
- had issues with wifi. Some times it works well (full download speed) sometimes it doesn't. Especially on spotify wen normally my home speed is at 7megs/second, there it performers at 200kb/sec.
- had issues also with "full screen apps". On my Note8, i normally don't have issues, but here... it bugs.
- seems like the Kirin 970 (AI?) doesn't want to work well with certain apps, as they seems really slow. Maybe it needs more time to know my habits, but sometimes i really have the impression of big lags
- Overall the UI seems and bit buggy... I hope they come out with an update soon
- No push on native email app with a google account (????!!!).
- Some issues with TeslaUnread (Nova launcher plugin) numeris badges that flick on the main home screen, and more precisely with the email app.
- They advertised the "dynamic lockscreen wallpaper" that isn't yet available, Apparently it's coming with an update / or has already been released for C636.
- They still didn't understand to separate notifications and ringtone volume. The two are still working in pair
Pros
- Very good cellular reception. Apparently it has a very high SAR so that might be the reason.
- Camera isn't bad at all - but maybe not worth the Note 8 with Camera mod. Still testing it.
- Battery life (but the phone is still young)
Any ideas how to get that annoying "system" notifications away?
update 21/11 : Called Huawei today, they said these issues are not normal, so brought it back to the shop got a new one... i'll be testing in the future days to see if i get the same issues.

If you are talking about the "xxxxx app is running in background" that is something introduced in Oreo and has nothing to do with EMUI

No my issue is more about the overlay.
Anyhow,
had too many issues with it at the moment. Even the BT in my car today got cut when i got a message while listening to some music... and then never reconnected right away.
I'm putting it in quarantine until a firmware will come out and fix these wifi, overlay, bt, fullscreen issues i have.
sweet dreams M10pro (firmware 115 on C436)
Sadly android Oreo is still new. A lot of other handsets are still in beta. Huawei was brave to release it with Oreo straight away but they couldn't really release it with Nougat or there would be complaints. Have faith and patience in the firmware updates but don't lose faith in the hardware. It's a seriously impressive bit of kit.
Hi, I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) in Czech republic (from Wonda mobile)
Issues:
1) "Home button" always switch back to default launcher!! Please help! How to allow different launcher?
- It makes the phone unusable for me. :crying:
2) No updates found (- why? What about 119?)
3) It is not possible to configure virtual buttons / commands. <- EMUI feature?
- I miss: "Open menu" function and "Switch to the last app"
4) I do not want to use Lock screen! (magazine pictures is the default, impossible to disable it) <- EMUI feature?
Do you have any advice?

Go to apps. Default apps. And select your launcher.
I'm pretty sure there's an option somewhere to disable magazine picture. I came across it yesterday

1. Settings - Apps - Settings - default apps setting - Launcher
2. Maybe it haven't been pushed yet. Patience is a virtuo.
3. It is possible to configure buttons
Settings - Smart assistants - System navigation - Settings
Open menu disappeared from android many versions ago, I belive in Ginger Bread. It was replaced with 3 dots in GUI.
Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)
4. What do you mean you don't want to use Lock Screen?
If you have pin, pattern or finger print unlock you must have a lock screen. If you disable all security then when you open the phone it will go straight to your home screen.
Settings - Screen lock & password - Password

Hi, thanks for your help
1) Yes, I was blind, sorry! - OK :good:
2) So 636 for europe is OK?
3) (I have "Open menu" in 7.1.2.) In some apps are not other way to open menu directly. :/
"Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)"
- Yes, thanks! But this is not supported (?) by using fingerprint scanner (only default: tap=back, hold=home, swipe=recently)
4) I mean simply not use lock screen, passwords, pattern , etc. So that the last application or screen is always displayed when the display is turned on.

ALSO what's kernel date?
I've got the standard Mate 10 and I haven't got any of the issues you described
FYI , my previous M10 Pro L29 - C432 had issues i would said dead on arrival style..
Huawei told me to bring it back, and thats what i did, and got a new ones.
Now things are working perfectly (except the overlay message i can't get rid of).
I just updated my firmware to 125 via FunkyHuawei (very easy to do if you follow the instructions (thumbs up to @duraaraa )

I couldn't test the 120, as it was on the old ALP-L29 which was defective. But 125 seems stable and working well. I will only be able to tell you about battery in 3-4 days once i got some cycles in.
Update to firmware 125, still got the gmail notification bug. I test several launcher, seems a EMUI related bug cause i can delete the mail from notif with Nova launcher.

Please help ... My widgets stop updating after deep sleep {if my phone screen is of for about an hour}
I have added the widget app in ignore battery optimization and enabled auto start and run in background in battery optimization .. still the widget stops updating ..
Any help is appreciated
there is a reason the battery is so good. the phone is basically shutting down when idle. You need to go in tot the settings and exclude the app/widget from the battery optimisations.
as i stated before , i did remove it from the battery optimizations but still the widget stops working after sometime

Sorry, there must be an associated process that is sleeping. Have you tired removing all battery optimization for a while just to check? Might be worth emailing the Dev. They may know what is happening.
ill try that ,,, thanks for the idea , ill report back .
i disabled all battery optimizations , still the widget stops updating after some time , the strange thing is that the widget has manual refresh button , but after some time that button also disappears check the picture below

I tried that app for myself. Doesn't update automatically for me as well. However other widgets that auto updates frequently works fine. So it should be a fix to be done by the app developer for this specific app.

What firmware are you running on the phone?
The latest from huawei 8.0.0.115
I have another problem .. some times when i switch on the screen everything changes to very small even the navigation bar icons .. its like the resolution changes and everything will be small .. ill.post a screenshot when it happens again .. a workaroung i go to screen resolution and change from hd to fhd then back to hd and the icons and text comes back to normal size
I have the widget problem as well (on .115, C636). I'll report back if I find a solution.
I also have the widget problem on my ALP-L29 ".115 (c636)" and it's really bugging me!
Whichever phone I use, I set up the BBC News and BBC Sport pages as two full screen widgets to the left of my home screen. They're great apps/widgets which means everything I need to know is one or two swipes away.
After sleep, neither will refresh anymore. The sport widget actually has a manual refresh button but now the icon is just constantly spinning as if it's trying to constantly refresh.
Any help at all would be much appreciated.
These widgets were fine on my Mate 9.
115 C636. I have calender agenda widget which does not update automatically like it used to.
Same here.
Weather widget and News widget are working fine, BUT i tried 5 different calendar widgets from store and none of them did work (no refresh).
BLA-L29 8.0.0.115 (C432).
Did not have any problems on my former Mate 9.
Must be an Oreo thing. I contacted the developer of my calendar widget so let's hope he can fix it.
I am afraid to say that, but i contacted the developer of my widget also and he answered, that the widget is working fine with Oreo (Emulator).
I think it could be a problem with EMUI 8. Not sure, but i think at the beginning of the Mate 9 there were similar problems, that some notifications didnt work.
That was fixed with an update from Huawei.
Bad news so far folks, have updated to ".119 (c636)" via Funky Huawei and still no fix for both the widget problem and the issue of not being able to perform some actions from the notification shade (like delete Gmail emails).
Really hope this is fixed with next update or I may be tempted to get rid. Unacceptable for a 2017, Oreo phone!
---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------
By the way, I tried the same widgets with Nova Launcher and got the same problems. So it's something in Emui 8 or Huawei's version of Oreo that's causing the issues, not the stock launcher.
@Hymastar
Did you inform Huawei about this bug?
My developer of my troublesome widget says it works fine too. He thinks it must be EMUI killing the task in the background and not allowing it to run properly.
Hi, had a breakthrough of sorts!
I switched back to the standard/stock launcher and tried the option with no app drawer i.e. default setting.
Took me a while to organise all my apps into Huawei's fiddly little folders (can't stand icons everywhere!) BUT the widgets are working fine!
Just to clarify, the widgets in question are from the BBC News and Sport apps which I always use as full page screens to the left of my home page.
So, I'll stick with the non-app drawer launcher for now, but it doesn't really solve the problem as I much prefer having an app drawer... @Hudrator I wouldn't know how to go about contacting Huawei?
Forget the above post, after 12hrs or so (maybe a deep sleep) the widgets are once again failing to update regardless of home screen style.
Thought I had found a temporary fix...
Hi Members
I have the above phone, with all the latest OTA updates offered for my Huawei Mate 10 pro, its currently running Android 8 EMUI 8
I've noticed if I hold down the homescreen, then go to settings, there doesn't appear to be the option to allow the homescreen to rotate.
In the quick toggles the auto rotate is on, and all other apps do rotate into landscape so there's no hardware issue.
Does anyone have a solution to this, I've done all the obvious things like clear caches, turn on/of phone, reset the phone twice to factory.
I'm not running many apps, the phone is not rooted, and I wouldn't consider resetting the phone again (as this doesn't do anything)
My only default launcher is the Huawei 'My Home', one of Huawei's OTG updates changed this to being the only launcher.
I don't want to use another launcher, as this is Huawei system default (I don't really want other issues to appear if I was to run another launcher)
Thanks for any advise
Cheers
I don't think the stock launcher supports landscape mode.
If you split-screen with the gesture and have any of the second screen return to home you can see it rotates into landscape mode. Sadly thats the only way i know
Thanks for all the replys, hopefully Huawei will change this, maybe I'll have to consider running Nova launcher, I've heard Huawei doesn't allow it to be a default launcher though?
you can use whatever launcher you want if you dont use huawei widgets on it(primarily weather widget witch i disabled anyway cause i use another one) . I used nova since day one without issues. maybe there was bug on early software that prevented it but i never had issues.
I am on mate 10 no pro fw13 2c636
Original launcher. In screen enable screen rotate.
Works like a charm. Greetings
I used to have landscape mode too, until firmware update BLA-L09 8.0.0.137. It's gone since then.
thats strange. bla l29 on 137 firmware has that option. huawei probably screwed something up.
Yes, I am on BLA L09 8..0.0.137 (C432) kernel version 4.4.23+, and although I have the 'auto rotate' toggle and switch in settings, there isn't a specific switch or check box to allow Homescreen to rotate.
As you've said madman_cro, Huawei must have messed something up, unless they couldn't get some other aspect of the phone to work while in landscape, and they removed the setting.
I'll wait to see if they rectify it, I have sent Huawei an email
Thanks again everyone for the help
I had an email reply back from Huawei, they said they looked at the settings of a Mate 10 pro at there end, and confirmed that there was a checkbox picker for 'disabling homescreen auto rotation' , whether the phone they had looked into at there end had been fully updated to it's current UK status, I don't know.
I have sent back a reply with screenshots of my phone as it currently stands in the settings, Android version, and firmware version
I have the same issue, firmware 137 doesn't have landscape, plus it broke "OK Google" support on my phone...not happy
I've come to the conclusion that the whole Huawei Android/EMUI/hardware eco system has many glitches, and bugs.
I've also found there watch 2 Pro also seems very inconsistent, sometimes i'm getting notifications sometimes not.
And no amount of turning on and off, or resetting, or fiddling with settings permissions, or power policies, or notification allowances seems to sort things.
Huawei need to address these problems... or they risk losing customer business through unreliability issues.
Just let members know, I've had a reply back from Huawei support, and they have said it may be a bug with possibly there latest update, and that it may be resolved in the next update in due course.
I can confirm the same issue, it was working for me in BLA L29 8.0.0.137 (C432) and forced an update to BLA L29 8.0.0.142 (C432) and it was not working anymore.
Tested Nova launcher and this one works for rotation.
I have noticed too “Ok Google” not working until I clear cache/data from the application “Google” after that “OK Google” was back on track.
I did the same from Huawei 'My Home' but no luck.
I have try this update because of this:
- to see how it fix BlueTooth
- add facial recognition
- and if the issue (I would like to be fixed) about stereo channel swap when recording a video from rear camera from stock camera app)
Seb.
If you goto home screen, pinch gesture, setting, allow home screen to rotate
Took me ages to find this!
Hello fellow Xiaomi users,
I got my Redmi 5 Plus a few days ago, updated it only via the system update (no custom twerks yet).
Currently I have the stock Android 7.1.2 N2G47H and the stock MIUI 9.6.2.0 NEGMIFD.
I have a couple of questions about the phone and I would really appreciate your help:
1) Will this phone get an official Oreo update? I've read that there should be one, but couldn't find any official date mentioned.
2) Stock launcher - I noticed that I couldn't remove app icons from the stock launcher. Is there a way to do that, and customize it all together?
3) Nova launcher - Since I couldn't remove unneeded app icons from the stock launcher, I installed Nova. An issue I find with it though, is that I no longer get skype notification sound - only vibration. Also sometimes messenger fails to make a sound as well, but that happens fairly rare. Any idea on a fix for this? Or maybe recommend a better launcher, that works with the phone?
4)Viber - I am using dual SIMs. One personal, and one for work. I activated only my work viber, but as soon as I started using it, it transferred all my contacts in it. So now my personal and work contacts got mixed. Wouldn't be an issue, If I didn't use viber on my work PC, and I would rather my personal chats to not be there. Any suggestion on how to separate my contacts? Anyone else had this issue?
5) Alarm sound - I am not sure if this happened after I switched to Nova, but my alarm sound is really low. The phones speakers are quite good, but when it comes to the alarm its quite low. I can barely hear it and wake up
6) Freezing - Sometimes when I type in let's say messenger, the phone freezes for some reason, until I type the next letter. For example if I try to type the word "submarine", I can type "subma" but it will freeze on "subm", and when I type the next letter (r) it will spit out both of the last written letters "submar" and then continue to work normally. What can cause those freezes?
I would really love to hear your opinion on these points.
Thanks in advance guys
1) For sure, in the main miui site is indicated and if is there is a closed beta available then we can expect an official version.
2) Remove the icons from stock launcher will mean uninstall them, you can only move them to the next display and maybe group them.
3) Check if all permissions are granted for this launcher including device control and accesibility, also enable in Nova persistent notifications. I use stock launcher, I put my preferred apps in main desktop, the others just moved them to the right and using the app "My Drawer" from developer Ofir Miron, it´s the only that I found that keeps the same icon from any theme that I pick, the others look very ugly.
I´m rarely use the other points so I don´t know

Thank you for the reply, I guess I will wait for the update for now, and experiment some more with Nova.
One more thing that came to mind - any way to use the proximity sensor to stop the phone for ringing or to answer calls? I had this options on other android phones - when the phone rings, and you bring your phone close to something (like your year) it picks up. Or when you flip it face down it stops the ringing. Any of these options available?? Can't find them so far.

Thank you, found it. Now let's hope that someone else can shed some light on the other topics as well. ^^
all of you on chinese variants of Find X, can now upgrade to new colorOS 5.2 simply by installing Beta App below , follow on screen steps and after that: go to normal upgrade method from Settins. You will have new OTA ready to download
Not applicable for Global and European variants CPH1871 / 75 .
LINK
After that you'll get a developer mode WITHOUT that annoying red banner in top notifications. You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade), but NO Icons in Top. Fastboot unlock is still not possible. There is a higher Battery drain.
Btw: looks like, you CAN'T downgrade to official firmware yourself. So please TAKE CARE.

Thanks.
Downloading now...
Still no notifications when the screen is off. Just a sound.
Smartthings\Hue\Yi Home\Google Home\ HotUKdeals\Whatsapp\Blue mail\WearOS apps no notifications
And I get no notifications from my phone to my android TV via the app Notifications For Android TV
Think I may sell this phone and move on.

"You'll get notifications (lockscreen, notification shade)"
Wish I got that
Is it correct that this information can not be returned to the official firmware?
After messing around for some time. I get notifications from most app when the screen is on.
But when the lock screen(blank black) starts, I get no notifications what so ever. Just sounds.
Anyway to fix this?
What's new in colorOS 5.2?
I get no notification issues and I use this china variant on color os5.1, for notifications ( FOR ALL apps, allow ALL PERMISSIONS, go to power management app and disable ALL power saving features for said apps as well as allowing all permissions from "power management" and this works for me even with screen off i get my notifications with the edge notification light
Most of my apps are now working as should(smartthings won't give notifications).
I went on to the beta and then I reset everything, and all has been great.

Yes it is. I've tried to make downgrade and doesn't work. The recovery says that the version that I've installed is newer than the latest official and abort the flash process. Fortunately the beta works pretty good but keep it in mind.
As supposed...latest ColorOS 5.2 arrived, and sadly nothing interesting
Does this allow for more "locked" apps or at least do away with the need for locking apps?

Nope. Still only five apps.

Rolled the dice and found out that:
- It does not remove the need for locking or increase the 5 app limit
- It also does not allow more than 5 apps to auto startup
Interesting development though: after doing the beta firmware update, I can no longer get into Phone Manager (and thus cannot easily get into auto startup apps)
After tapping on "Phone Manager", I get a screen overlay message that says "Permission Denied".
Can confirm that it does remove the dev orange bar. It will not remove the orange bar that is present from using Accessibility Settings.
EDIT: Updates as I poke around below
------
- After update: Shut down and Start up now retain my accessibility settings (previously even answering the phone would reset them). I use accessibility to add navigation options to the side of the device.
- I deleted com.coloros.safecenter, and now I have no "Auto Startup" options in individual app info. I'm unsure if this is just a new development in the beta or not though. I also still cannot get into the app Phone Manager (where auto startup is usually collected)
- I now also have some sort of flyout thing on the right side containing "Quick Access" apps. I never had this before. This is controlled from: Settings > Smart & Convenient > Smart Sidebar
- A new app inside of Accessibility permissions showed up called "Baidu IME for OPPO", but I'm pretty sure this was stock and I had just removed it right when I got the phone
- I'm also able to swipe notifications to the right to dismiss!

So you still have the continous weird flashing statusbar? (You use accesability, right?) Or is that gone after reboot?

Still have it unfortunately And yes, I'm using accessibility. Beta DOES get rid of the yellow bar if you only have Developer Mode enabled.
I've gone through one entire reinstall because I removed some pretty necessary stuff without pulling the APK's first. Now I'm an expert at backups of both individual APK's and the entire system through ADB hahaha.
I'm working on a guide to "westernize" or "un-colorOS"ing this phone and will be aggressively deleting apks to try and get rid of the yellow bar.
I did find that they have
Code:
com.android.systemui.PLUGINS
and that gets spawned from a ColorOS apk but I can't seem to remove the plugin. I have a hunch that's where it lives, since the orange bar groups everything under the "System UI" grouping.
Will keep you all updated!
EDIT: Oh! I was also able to create a +1 phone number account through oppo id services and use that to restore back to stock Beta after I screwed up the phone without backing anything up this first time. So I wouldn't be too scared of doing this upgrade. You can at least restore back to beta.
Had a little update.
Don't know what oppo added but great see updates coming

Thank you, I ran it but till now no notification about the new beta.
Hi, im using Pie on S9+ for some days and found some options has been removed/moved and some changes are really bad.
1) Did frameless icons option on Oreo has been remove in Pie? All icons are with frame at the moment. Is there any way to get rid of this frames without changing theme or icon set?
2) They changed Contacts app. I was able to set "Google+Phone+Profile Sharing" as "showed contacts", now they moved to left menu and can only select all or one account like Google. So they removed custom list feature on oreo.
3) recent apps section is bad. they should bring back old one (one under the other) as alternative like on goodluck 2018 app. it is good for sliding but needs to be improve.
4) If i use gestures as navigation, how can i open google assistant with home button (was holding to home button)
5) They removed to disable bixby button. but you can still disable bixby with adhell or notsabs. also new bixby is worse.
6) They should add sliding and animation between on system apps. for example "keypad, call history, contacts, places"
7) They removed location settings. We cant select "save battery, only gps, Now it is automatically gps+wifi+mobile networks or they hid and shouldn't i find?
8) i have gear s3 classic. there is a problem with bt connection, there is interruption on almost far rooms. it wasn't any problem before. if someone use gear, can u check? also "connected gear xxxx via bluetooth connection notification is too big. it was able to shrink as very thin in oreo.
9) there is a problem with enterprise wifi networks that needs certificates.
10) old font on aod, weather clock widget, app names was better in my opinion. some clone phones were using "new font" like font.
11) there is no schedule for night mode. this should be added.
12) they should add old full screen navigation as 3rd option.
13) if they move volume setting to right or left (you will able to select) it will be better for one ui.
14) i think new icons are worse. also they didnt change samsung music's icon.
15) peak schedule feature in samsung email isnt working for @hotmail.com emails as microsoft exchange. it's working on gmail or outlook. i know outlook and hotmail are same. but tried with lots of mails, they arent working for hotmail
16) i realized night mode is for all apps but got disappointed, it's for only system apps, so this is nice too. so continue with swift installer for black in all supported apps.
17) there is a blank between keyboard and the end of the screen. there was navigation bar on oreo but it looks strange on pie. maybe they should extend "move" option of keyboard.
18) still there is no option to import chrome passwords to samsung internet, or export/import samsung pass' data.
19) They moved game tools to notification area on games as unremovable.
19) they should bring back video button
advantages:
one ui is better for one hand usage.
they added "app info" to 3d touch (app shortcuts) back.
if u even disable rotating, if you use landscape in settings, a black hole will appear on the corner to rotate.
they added alternative option for aod to tap to show for 30 sec.
battery is almost same. little bit better.
system ram is about 500 mb, it was more than 1 gb (~900MB-1,2MB)
everything is rounded up.
4g+ video chat is now better.
i recommend backup everything and reset the phone if you are upgrading oreo to pie for better battery and lagless use.
some animations are better.
these are the things I can remember. of course you are free to agree or disagree with me. If you know my answers of my questions and have additional comments please write.
4) if we swipe up and hold, we get google assistant. Other ones are still exist.

1) if you find a way to disable the frame, it would be awesome to share it.
7) It's bullsh** indeed, the workaround is to use "ShortCutter" and its location toggle (you can choose between 4 modes).
17 made me going crazy so I installed gboard
I noticed that the multitasking mode sometimes is showing a weird animation showing for 0,1sec the apps in the app menu in the background

Question about icon Bluetooth :
When I activate Bluetooth and a device is connected, I have the Bluetooth logo that appears in the status bar on the home screen.
But : when I enable Bluetooth but no hardware is connected, the Bluetooth logo in the status bar of the home screen no longer appears, unlike version 8.0 Android.
As a result, if the Bluetooth remains activated, as the Bluetooth logo does not appear in the status bar, I no longer know if it is really activated or not. In concrete terms, if I don't use Bluetooth, I turn it off to hope for lower battery consumption, but since the logo no longer appears... you have to scan the screen down each time and check in the settings if Bluetooth has remained enabled or not: it's very annoying!
Does this function seem normal to you? (under 8.0, the Bluetooth logo appears as soon as it is activated, regardless of whether or not any equipment is connected).
I hope I've made myself understood, and thank you for letting me know if you see the same thing in yourself.
