Night Light? - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

I did the manual update to .198
I have never noticed on the previous firmware before, but with .198 I have a night light option where the do not disturb is.
Never knew that this existed.

where is the option to turn on?

I have no idea, I only noticed this earlier when I went to turn off do not disturb. I don't know where it has come from.

What happens if you press it?

or use the drop down arrow

Has the option to turn off. Then it disappears. I found that the only way to turn it on is in the quick settings.
However it's saying that the screen is tinted amber. But it really isn't as far as my eyes can see.

Isn't the same as eye comfort with different naming?or maybe you have installed an app for screen tuning?

I can turn on eye comfort and it actually does turn amber, the night light does nothing. Very Strange.

Thx a lot Darkat70

Night Light is the built in Android version of Eye Comfort. It probably doesn't do anything because Huawei do their own thing. Weird that it's showing in settings.

Well that is odd. I used ADB and removed Huawei App Market now that night light icon and option in settings has gone.

The night light option, when I long press it, takes me to the System UI Tuner app. I suspect its a setting on there as I also have the night light option available.

I really love the system font you are using. Mind telling us which one it is and how we can use it on our phones?

there is a network speed switch, you don't need an app.
Settings/Display/More display settings : turn ON/OFF Display network speed.
I switched it off ... too tiny to read !

I have network speed turned on, the app isn't for the status bar icon it's to monitor daily usage of internet and app usage.

[Q] Lightflow constant LED?

Hello everyone,
Okey when I had my Nexus and used the Lightflow app, and a certain notification popped up in the notification bar (that notification was setup in Lightflow with a blinking LED) with screen on it would also blink.
On my note2, if my screen is on and I get that notification, it doesn't blink. I have no idea why.
Anybody familiar with Lightflow? Any ideas how I can make Lightflow blink with screen on?
Sent from my AK-55
Have you checked out Lightflows settings to make sure that you have that checked? Also that may only be a option in the paid version of Lightflow. Im not very familiar with it but it should under settings I would think.
Edit:
Just treated it for myself and it works perfectly on the free version. Click on the app in you app drawer, click settings, enable root mode, enable Samsung mode, then set your apps up.
I tested it on a low battery and it wouldn't quit flashing or give me a notification to turn it off like it does with email and other apps so I had to set it to go off after one minute for the low battery warning. I think the only reason it didn't have a pop ip was because the battery was already at 9%. The light stayed on the entire time the screen was on also.

No problem, its a bit annoying when it wouldnt show the notification for the battery so you may have that problem in the future or it may just be cause I tested it with a low battery.

Fingerprint to wake screen without unlocking

As the title... Is it possible to use fingerprint to wake phone without unlocking ? I have the habit to check notifications from lockscreen without unlocking the phone. But using fingerprint it unlock directly the phone
On my previous Nexus 5 I've had installed a kernel with double tap to wake feature but it seems that Honor 9 doesn't have it.
Any tip ?
Thanks
You could use the power button for this. I'm doing the same thing, but I don't know any method to change this behavior of the homebutton/fingerprint.

Yes. But I'd like to avoid the use of hardware buttons...I've read a guide that add double tap to wake features to some honor devices modifying build.prop (you must be root obviously). But I don't know if Honor 9 supports it...
Honor may add DT2W feature in EMUI 6.

Try an app called WaveUp. Set the swipe count to 1 then you just need to wave over the proximity sensor once to activate the screen.

Thanks for the tip. But I'd like to avoid to use apps that keep sensors alive. Often they cause battery drain, as honestly the developer of waveup says. I've used Gravity Box in the past but on my phones it caused severe battery drain.
I'll wait for Emui 6...

Nope. This problem happened with my Mate 9 before. Unbelieveable after a long time and update Huawei did not fix this . I dont want vibrate , sound or light up the screen , just need the led . Damn
I know i get whatsapp in green, facebook in blue, etc on my P9 plus. Haven't installed these apps on Mate 10 to try it.

On my Mate 9 Porsche Design the LED works well with WhatsApp, Skype, Flightradar, A Calendar+ etc
In some Apps you can choose the color, in some apps it's a fixed color.

The problem here is that only certain apps are using the LED. Why I have no idea, clearly it is not hardware error since it works for sms...

Maybe but I just discovered something. It seems like apps that have notification light set to off have priority.
WhatsApp notification light set to on
Tapatalk notification light set to off
Scenario 1
If I get WhatsApp notification the LED flashes
Scenario 2
If I get WhatsApp and Tapatalk notification the LED doesn't flash
I will keep investigating to see if I am correct

Maybe the last received notification determines it? What happen if you first get a Tapatalk notification and then a WhatsApp?

I seems I hit a dead end, Tapatalk doesn't even have setting for the notification light.
If I first get a Tapatalk notification I don't have a blinkning LED, if I then get a WhatsApp notification I still don't get blinking LED.
But I need to test more tonight, during the day I mostly get notification from WhatsApp and Tapatalk, the issue might not be related to those app at all.

Strangely enough, on Mate 8 the notification light worked out of the box, like green for Whatsapp notifications. With the Mate 10 this doesn't seem to be the case.

I have. It's set to off.
Yet the device still shows me red and green leds while charging (cause that apparently is an information so important that I need to be informed even when asleep...)
While you are charging the indicator will always be lit, same with mine and my mate 9 previously. Unfortunately that's a default setting to show that it is in fact charging.

lock screen data used notification

I have been getting a lock screen data used notification after unlocking the phone, but I can't find where to enable or disable it.
You can find it in Data usage-more data settings.
