Hi, I need to turn of the duty cycling of the GNSS (GPS) chip on my mate 20 pro. I was under the impression that it should be an option in the developer settings in Android Pie, as it is in other phones, but there is no such option for Mate 20 Pro.
Does anyone know why and better yet how to solve it? I must turn off the duty cycling for my research project. Thanks!
hey do you find the way to turn off?

Huawei P30 Pro EMUI 9.1
Hello did you find a solution to your problem? I am an owner of the Huawei P30 Pro with the latest release of EMUI 9.1. I can’t find how to disable the duty circle on GNSS raw data measurement (there is no option under the android developer settings on my Huawei Device). In some smartphones duty circle can automatically disabled when you call android GNSS raw data API. Does the Huawei supports this feature or we can not disable duty circle on Huawei smartphones at all? Thanking you in advance.

hello I communicated with the engineer of huawei only to know the EMUI doesnt support disabling the duty cycle. Are you trying to use the carrier-phase for RTK or PPP ?
Duty Cycle
Yes I am trying to develop an app using the kernel of the RTKLIB open source library for PPP and RTK purposes. I have already tested this with XIAOMI MI8. I am also interesting in buying the new Xiaomi Mi 9 with Qualcomm 855 in build gps chip. Did you ever test the Xiaomi Mi phones? I also have already test the mate 20 pro for dual frequency carrier phase measurement. In order to implement the L5 frequency on this model, you have to update to EMUI 9.1. But this issue with duty cycle is critical so I can not support this model also with the P30 Pro.

Hello,
I know, it's an old post !
Finally, is there a way to avoid duty cycling on P30 and othe huawai phones ?
Here is someone who thinks he has proven that EMUI 12 is actually a lite version of HarmonyOS:
So this guy has taken an app called "oh_info" (which I tried to find but never did), that is supposedly used to check the OpenHarmony version (this is the open source version of HarmonyOS). He says that he managed to transfer this app to Nova 9 (which till now some Android info apps such as Geekbench state that it has Android 11 underneath). Now, according to what he says, if this "oh_info" app shows something on Nova 9, then the phone is running Harmony OS. If it doesn't, then Nova 9 is on Android (10, or 11, or whatever).
So before everything else, he also managed to transfer this app to Nova 8i (which we all know has Android 10). On Nova 8i the "oh_info" app showed nothing, meaning that Nova 8i is not running on HarmonyOS but on Android (10). When running this "oh_info" app on Nova 9 it showed Nova 9's EMUI 12 is based in OpenHarmony 2.1.0
He concludes that EMUI 12 that will be pushed to all Global devices will thus be HarmonyOS. But not the same version that is running on Chinese devices. More likely a lighter version.
Wait really? dang that's good news, still waiting for 2022 to get the update on my Y9 Prime. I'll also gonna check if the output of oh_info is the same as on Nova 9

Ok, I might be wrong in this but isn't the Nova 9 release in China with HarmonyOS? For me, they might just hastily slapped EMUI 12 on Nova 9 without changing the software underneath which is understandable since there's only a slight difference with the experience in HarmonyOS and Android and settings are not stating what android ver the phone is running on but when Nova 8 was released, it had EMUI 12 on Android both on Global and China and just got an update to HarmonyOS. My theory is that devices that will receive EMUI 12 will still have Android just like Nova 8 but I hope it's running HarmonyOS/OpenHarmony

Вот кто-то, кто думает, что доказал, что EMUI 12 на самом деле является облегченной версией HarmonyOS :
Итак, этот парень взял приложение под названием «oh_info » (которое я пытался найти, но не нашел), которое предположительно используется для проверки версии OpenHarmony (это версия HarmonyOS с открытым исходным кодом). Он говорит, что ему удалось перенести это приложение на Nova 9 (где до сих пор некоторые информационные приложения для Android, такие как Geekbench, утверждали, что под ним находится Android 11 ). Теперь, согласно его словам, если это приложение «oh_info» что-то показывает на Nova 9, значит, телефон работает под управлением Harmony OS. Если это не так, значит, Nova 9 работает на Android (10, 11 или что-то еще).
Прежде всего ему удалось перенести это приложение на Nova 8i (которая, как мы все знаем, имеет Android 10 ). На Nova 8i приложение «oh_info» ничего не показало , что означает, что Nova 8i работает не на HarmonyOS, а на Android (10). При запуске этого приложения "oh_info" на Nova 9 он показал, что EMUI 12 Nova 9 основан на OpenHarmony 2.1.0.
Он заключает, что EMUI 12, который будет распространяться на все глобальные устройства, будет, таким образом, HarmonyOS. Но не та версия, которая работает на китайских устройствах. Скорее более легкая версия.

Guys it seems that we have an official confirmation that EMUI 12 on Nova 9 is based on Android 11 (AOSP) and NOT on Harmony OS ! So the UI is inspired by Harmony OS, but the actual OS is Android 11. Here is the post on the official Huawei Forums by an employee that works on the Content Crew / Article Team of the forums.
[EMUI 12] The Taste of HarmonyOS
UPDATE 11/11/2021: EMUI 12 beta program for Mate 40 Pro, P40, P40 Pro, P40 Pro Plus, Mate 30 Pro stared in East Asia and Russia, and now is expanding to some markets in Europe. Download beta app and check if you can participate: https://bit.ly/Bet

...unlike the EMUI 12 version on HUAWEI nova 8 based on Android 10, HUAWEI nova 9 came with a refreshed EMUI 12 based on the AOSP Android 11 system.

Someone could think that this probably means that the Global devices that now have Android 10-based EMUI 11.x, and have only gotten one major Android update, will get Android 11-based EMUI 12. I still don't know what will happen with older devices that now still have EMUI 10.x or EMUI 11.x and have already gotten two major Android upgrades (meaning that they were released with Android 8 and have already gotten Android 9 and Android 10).

Actually the inconsistency that you mentioned will still exist with EMUI 12, as it will be with Android 11.
Regarding the OS, for now I prefer Android 11 at least until HarmonyOS is mature enough. Even then, I might be willing to try HarmonyOS (in the fututre) only as long as it will work fine with GMS (on phones such as P30 that were released with them) and Play store apps.

Hey guys, I am author of this video. I am not bullshitting anyone. In the worst scenario I am just wrong, but my intention never was to lie or trick anybody. I just checked it and everything suggested that global emui 12 is based on harmonyos + android 11 code. oh_info app that I had was showing the openharmony version on matepad 11 and nova 9. And it was crashing on my p40 pro with emui 11 and showing no openharmony on the nova 8i with emui 11. I interpreted this as emui 12 has to contain openharmony code so it is basically harmonyos but with cut some features (for no reason). I has been called a liar few times, so I came here to discuss it cause I never wanted to lie to anybody (

Dont know what is your problem. I've never said people to buy it. I just found out that emui 12 contains OpenHarmony code and wanted to share it with you. Chillout
Really now ? "It IS HarmonyOS" is way different than "it CONTAINS some HarmonyOS code"
So to sum this up:
You have found some app somewhere that supposedly when it sees some let's say OpenHarmony code snippets it reports that the OS is OpenHarmony, or HarmonyOS, or whatever, that in turn you call it some kind of "lite version of HarmonyOS". A few days later on the official Huawei forums an employee of the Content Crew / Article Team has posted an article confirming that EMUI 12 for global phones is just a "taste" (design-wise) of Harmony OS but NOT really Harmony OS ! It's just the skin of the UI that looks like Harmony OS. But it's still based on Android 11, as all the respected and well known Tech sites are reporting (e.g. GSMArena, etc) and all Hardware Info apps report (see attached screenshot) on Nova 9.
A few people have told you that you MIGHT be wrong, right ? But you still keep the same misleading title on your video "HARMONYOS COMING GLOBAL? - EMUI 12 is HarmonyOS!" admitting later on the comments of you video that you do it for "clickbait" reasons.
Furthermore a few days later you have uploaded another video with the title: "EMUI 12 BETA - HARMONYOS IS COMING!"
Now, the file / app you found (that is supposedly reporting about OpenHarmony) might be what it is, I don't doubt that. It might be legit (but no one really knows it is, right?), meaning that it might really be able to report that it found OpenHarmony OS code snippets. But does that mean that the OS is HarmonyOS lite ? Obviously no ! So let me ask you something: Who are we supposed to trust? The official Huawei forums' crew, or some guy like you that you cannot even edit your videos' titles to reflect even some doubt on your claim that Nova 9 comes with Harmony OS ?
As I told you on your YouTube channel, you want viewers? You have to respect them and keep your integrity intact. And correct your mistakes when they are noted by your viewers. And if you don't change the titles of your videos to reflect the truth, then no one will respect you and take you seriously. Good luck with your choices.

Actually, maybe I forgot to state in the video that emui 12 contains android code, but it seemed obvious for me cause HarmonyOS also contains. So if something is HarmonyOS then it means it is still based on android anyway.
HarmonyOS is OpenHarmony + AOSP 10/9. Emui 12 seems to also be an OpenHarmony + AOSP 11 (maybe 10 too). For me it is obvious step in introducing the HarmonyOS but in lighter version.
I Say I of course can be wrong, cause I Don't know everything, I Have some proofs and have my own interpreration. It is hard for me to believe different Huawei statement cause their every statement is different and often opposite of the other. One of Huawei workers told me that HarmonyOS coming from next year, then I found out that emui 12 that is coming contains OpenHarmony. For me it is HarmonyOS, but for some reasons Huawei dont Say it clearly, maybe after HarmonyOS 3.0 release, maybe it will be ready enough
Hi,
I bought a Mi Pad 5 Pro 5G and I think I can see how much I hurried up. There is no Global version. In CN ROM only English and I would prefer Polish.
What's happening? Does any of you know if Xiaomi has any plans to do something with this model?
Do I have any system alternative? Maybe a pure android ... I have not found anything on the internet for this model to be uploaded. Please help!
I'm a bit broken
(sorry for my bad english)
You can find a couple of threads about GSIs on the Pad 5 (non Pro) forum. People (incl myself) have had some success in installing some GSIs on the Pro model too. You can't use the Xiaomi pen on a GSI (or custom ROM I think), however, which is a massive downside to some people.
Yes I think the software development for this tablet is really slow. It's no-one's fault. I used to own Mi Pad 4 and they had a huge range of custom ROMs available. I optimistically assumed it would be the same for Pad 5. I was so wrong... If the stock ROM (MIUI) was half decent, we wouldn't need volunteer developers. Such a shame.
If I had read more about how bad it is with the Pro version - I would buy something from the competition, such as Samsung. A bit of money wasted because I have equipment with potential, but soft kills it. I hope that something will move with the next android, for example 13. Shame for Xiaomi for treating customers in such a way. I do not understand the lack of a Global version. I bought a device from China, paying all taxes. Feels like cheated.

Without sounding like an asshole. If you did a little research on this forum or even google searched about the pad 5 pro before buying it, you would have avoided buying a device not suitable for you.
It was well documented that the Pro version was available only in China and didn't support all languages.
No need to feel cheated, you just failed to research the specifications.
As far as development for this device, I would contact people working on Poco F4 roms. It's basically a pad 5 pro with a small screen. I'm sure they could cook something up.

Is there any way to upload the Polish language to the Chinese firmware on the CN of the Mi Pad 5 Pro 5G? Currently, there is only Chinese and English and the Global version is not available and probably will not be.
Are Google services on Chinese ROM working properly?

Everything works with google. Just have to set the permissions correctly for Google apps.
Chrome translates perfectly and even assistant works in different spoken languages.
Download Gboard keyboard and everything will work.

Make sure you set google to always allow otherwise the MIUI privacy protection will block all sorts of settings and add ons. It returns blank messages to google so you can't sign in.
This has frustrated a lot of users.
You can try an app called MoreLocale 2 (available on Google Play Store or GitHub) to use a language other than the specified ones on the MIUI Chinese ROM. It changes the locale setting. I can't remember if your device needs to be rooted or not. I haven't tried myself, but I have read a few people saying they could get Japanese available on some (but not all) apps and system menus. Polish is probably available too, but you'd better check. You need to execute some adb command to get it work.
GitHub - c-lis/morelocale: This application will change system locale and country setting.

First of all, the device does not need to be rooted. The disadvantage of this solution is that you have to set the language again after every restart. But I found another solution:
It is even better than MoreLocal2 if you change the language in the Android language menu. The so called AOSP Dashboard is accessible via Apps like "Activity Launcher" or "MIUI Downloader" (Both on Playstore, I suggest Activity Launcher).
For Activity Launcher: Open app and search for "SystemDashboard", then open "com.android.settings.Settings$SystemDashboardActivity"
This way you get the same result as with MoreLocal, but 1. you don't have to set something after every restart, 2. you don't have an unnecessary app because you can uninstall it and 3. you don't have to assign authorizations, since everything runs in system dialogs.
* I use my Mi Pad 5 Pro with this solution.
** With "same result" I mean a mixture of English and target language. MIUI apps / system apps mostly but not always remain in English. Everything else should be in the target language if the apps support it.
