Are you finding the Huawei Mate 20 Pro very buggy?
I've bought Huawei for the last 10 years or so and this will be my last. Opted for the 20 as their last Android. I have found it very very buggy. Firstly I noticed screen locks up after continuous use, which seems to happen less frequently now. Worst bug is total lock up when trying to access photos from any app. So if you need to upload a photo it just locks up, this send to be even worse and only total reset will bring it back to life.
I've not had any issues with lock ups, screen freeze etc.
My only gripe is since EMUI 12 update sound is not quite as true, the sound is a little distorted.
I don't know what to say as to your issue other than maybe a full wipe and fresh install.
My mate 20 X is really buggy after installing emui 12. I came here to see if anyone else is having issues too. Like the OP I'm getting screen freezes, reboots and sometimes won't even switch on. This phone was at its best on emui 10. Version 11 brought battery drain now 12 has made this almost unusable. Any tips appreciated. Maybe a full factory reset will sort it.

Hi there, Ive had a SGS2 for about 24 hours now and am about ready to send it back and get a refund. Its driving me insane. One one had, its a fantastic phone, looks great, fast as hell, really neat features.
But one feature I cant stomach is the 10 second lag I get when waking the phone. 10 seconds from when I press home or power to being able to open the lock screen. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I understand from other posts that this may be related to a power saving feature, but in all honesty, what other phones have this poor response time?
Does anyone have a solution? Ive tried rooting, updating firmware, kernel, lockscreen etc. No joy. It kills me that I have to send it back because of this stupid bitty issue, but I will break this phone in frustration in a few weeks if I keep it...

You should get it replaced. Mine is .5 seconds before it turns on. it's REALLY fast to turn on on mine. I'd say faster than my iphone 4. I think you've got a fuddy duddy.
I have a sneaky suspicion you're exaggerating the delay by about 9 seconds. I agree a delay of any sort on a phone of this spec is annoying (my MIUI flashed HD2 had zero delay) but is it enough to return the phone? Not in my opinion, it's a software issue.
I will be happy when a solution is discovered of course but for the time being there are more annoying issues on this phone. Like the constant '3G' to 'H' switching on data connection.
nope, you must have something faulty happening there. 10 seconds is not normal at all. not in my experience anyway. There IS a lag unlike any other phone when hitting the home button. I hate it too. but 10 seconds!? That's crazy. If it doesn't cost you then you should get it replaced.
Of course you could try rooting/flashing to see if it helps but then all that extra hassle if it doesn't work and you still have to return it.
'power saving feature' is not true... phone is doing the same as most decent smartphones out there in terms of battery.
despite all this, I love this device. I truly believe it is the best handset available right now. period!
Im afraid Im not exaggerating, just timed it, 9 seconds from lights on to lockscreen being responsive. Ive tried flashing it, Went from Vodafone BUKE1 to XWKE7 and no difference. Will flash it back to BUKE1 and send it back.

Then your phone is faulty. Mine becomes responsive after about a second and has always been that way, even on the stock rom before I rooted or flashed VillainRom. An unusual fault though, as I'd bet my bottom dollar it's software related.
That's a fault. People talk about a small (<1 second) delay... Probably < 0.5s
My SGS2 doesn't even take 0.5secs, its almost instantaneous. you should get an exchange.
@OP- 10 seconds are horrible. Though mine also takes >1 second. But I have noticed that when the Phone is charging (AC/USB) it comes up instantly, the lag occurs when the phone is off charge.
Regards.
I have a small lag too. Sometimes up to 3 sec.
Seams to be a software issue.
10 sec sounds strange...
I'm thinking of a lockscreen replacement.
Is there anyone that will remove the lockscreen delay?
Hey everyone. i've had my nexus 9 for a long time now but every now and then i get a few issues with the battery for some reason and i cant find a solution that works tbh.
Right now i'm running android nougat 7.0 and the thing has been great so far but just today i realized that the battery had been draining while i was asleep.
This has been happening before android N as well, on marshmellow. at one point i even had to roll back an OTA update because my battery would drain while the tablet was idle over the course of only 4 hours.
So.. after i rolled back to the more stable version of marshmellow, that stopped happening.
but yea. now i have a similar problem on android N. i just dont understand why this is happening and its super frustrating. before i installed android N i wiped my entire tablet completely clean before i flashed it.
i knowww, its kind of a first world problem. it doesnt happen all the time but when it does its super annoying.
does anyone know what i can do to prevent this from happening? i have set it to disable wifi when screen is off so.. its not downloading or updating apps or anything.. and disabled double tap to wake.. the tablet is basically just lying still on a table all night so dont understand how it can be draining the battery at all.
thanks
sorry, since im new here i cant actually post an image yet or a link to the image.. but basically, android system and android OS is taking up huge chunks of the battery and if i look at graph i can see that my tablet was
"awake" for multiple hours even though the screen was off while i was asleep.
you could try better battery stats, there's a thread here at xda for it, see what's going on with it. I haven't noticed so far but it's only been a day. You may wanna just let it go for a few days and let the system settle, let your cache build, etc....and if you're rooted there's kernels available the you could try out and make some adjustments depending on how you use your tab. Good luck :good:

Thanks for the reply. im gonna consider if betterbatterystats if it doesnt stop draining within a day or two. i need my tablet to function properly by monday.
Last night the exact same thing happened. although this was was even worse i think. theres a tiny little snippet of "screen on" time in the battery data menu. and then it shows the long bar of " awake" throughout the entire night. and apparently this is because of android system and android OS.
it literally drained from 91 % to 36 % over the course of the night... completely unbelievable.
Try disabling all account synching, turning all location settings off, and restarting in Safe Mode. This will limit your device to just the OS and gapps. If you're still getting the battery drain, it's most likely a gapps issue. Unfortunately, I don't know an effective way to remove and replace the built-in gapps in the stock rom.

I've been running marshmallow since day 1 and 7.0 developer preview since day 1 as well. I am typically getting ~4 & 1/2 hours of screen on time with ~30% battery left (not rooted, nothing). If the Google apps aren't the problem, the problem may be with the battery itself where it itself is faulty and needs replacing. A good thing with replacing the battery is that it's fairly easy to do unless you accidentally ripped out the camera with it. If you were to rip out the camera by removing the back cover, then that would definitely be a problem. Memory leak in any of your non-Google apps?
Hey everyone. i think i might have found the reason why my battery is draining sometimes. lately it's been doing fine as it's rather easy to fix.
My theory is that if you put yiur tablet with the screen facing down on a table or something, it may trigger the touch input, even with the screen being off. So it's using some battery cus it thinks you're touching the screen so it has to be ready since.. if someone is touching the screen they would usually turn the device on.. but idk.
it just seems as though the battery drains whenever i put it with screen facing down.

Hey, there is a possibility that there is a 3rd party (non pre-installed) app that has been causing your N9 not to sleep. This is easy to test for. Just boot your Nexus 9 into safe mode the next time you are going to set it down for a while. This will disable all 3rd party apps. If it was a 3rd party app that was waking your device and draining battery, safe mode should prevent it from doing so. The hard part after that is determining which app is the culprit. Trial and error is the only method, uninstalling 3rd party apps one by one until the problem is fixed.
To boot into safe mode, hit your power button, then touch and hold the power off prompt on your screen. You will then be prompted to restart in safe mode.

FYI - Custom ROMs/Kernels allow you to disable Double Tap To Wake /Swip To Wake. So, if this problem really bothers you, that's one way to fix it.
When I use anything other than stock it runs pretty laggy. The UI is really laggy and games are very slow. I went from B128 ( WIND mobile ) straight to B322 if that helps. I think it's because my phone is not the normal b126 that most phones are. Any help?
Can you go to B309 first, before B322? For some reason I recall one should get B309 first, and then incremental update to B322. Sometimes mine feels slow, but so far I’m pretty happy, except for missing Groufie in the camera. Restarting, or completely shutting off, usually helps, as well as keeping from filling the memory completely.
Actually for a little while now the Google Mic does not work. It freezes up until I push the power button to shut off the screen, and turn it on again....
Hello everyone, I bought my Nexus 9 two years ago and it has been a complete disaster for me since the beggining.
During the summer, the tablet desided to go crazy when the battery dropped below 30-40%.
The screen would turn white and the tablet produced a REALLY loud noise.
Since there is no dedicated HTC service center in my country, the tablet was sent to Romania 3 times, in order to be fixed.
The first time they only flashed again the stock firmware, the second time the service center "cleaned the screen from dust" and the third time (it had already been a month), they finally decided to fix it by replacing the screen and the charging circuits.
The table was ok since that, but last week randomly it decided to lag when battery was under 30-40%, the cpu got stock at 653mhz and it stopped charging.
Since i was on lineage Os, i thought it might be a rom or kernel issue, and i reverted back to stock.
However, the stock rom only solved the charging issues, as I was able to fully charge the tablet.
But now, when the battery drops below 50% the tablet dies on its own.
The only way to turn it back on, is to open the back cover, unplug the battery and then replug it.
Do you have any ideas as what might that be?
Is this because the battery has died, or maybe because of some other hardware problem?
I really wish i can solve this on my own, because now my tablet is out of warranty and the repair center has been proved not to be trustworthy
Thank you

Your original issue is kinda common on n9. It could have been solved by unplugging the battery (maybe cleaning connection) and re-plugging. The new issue I haven't seen before. Maybe try wiping the battery stats.
I can confirm that re-plugging battery helped in my N9
I just got this Nexus 9 a couple weeks ago from a family member who got a new tablet due to the Nexus 9 doing a similar thing as the OP has described. The battery would get like 50%-20% and screen would go crazy and a loud screeching noise would take place until you hard reset with the power button. Worked great long as i kept it plugged in on the charger.
So i fixed the problem on mine by doing what others recommended. I took the back off the tablet and disconnected the battery. cleaned up the contacts and let it sit unplugged for a few mins and put it all back together. I then dumped the stock OS for lineage and elemental kernel which also disables the encryption allowing the tablet to run significantly faster than the stock setup. I also disabled the animations in the developers options as i'm a power user through and through over eye candy.
Since doing all that, i'm on week two of heavy usage and the tablet runs like new and is snappy as hell. Goes through the whole cycle of the battery now without the screen going nuts and the screeching noise when the battery gets low 50% - 20%. Not sure how long it will last but so far so good and i scored a decent tablet for free. Only thing holding this tablet up is the the lousy 2gb ram but it's still a very respectable piece of hardware to be 2014 tech.
If it acts up again i may invest in a new battery for it to see if it fixes the issue as i don't have any money invested in the tablet anyway. So it would at least be worth a new battery but so far i've had no problems with it after doing the above fixes recommended by others and the battery in it still gets roughly between 6-7 hrs between charges so not bad for a battery that old.
Just finished up my holiday shopping with the Nexus 9 and not a problem out of it so far. If this Nexus 9 stays working good then it will be replacing my Nexus 7 2012 32gb Grouper as my daily driver. The old Nexus 7 has been solid for me since i got it in 2012 but it's really time to let it go as it's really showing it's age now but still works good as a reader and browsing the web isn't too god aweful. Hope the OP figures out a solution as the Nexus 9 is still a very capable tablet. Hope my experience shared helps with your issue.

I just picked up a spare Nexus 9 because I want to try an Android build that has encryption turned off (I have a Nexus 9 running 7.1.x). So I'm very interested in your build, it's overall compatibility, and how you went about selecting and installing what you did.
But on to your screen/screeching problem! I solved mine by removing the back cover, disconnecting the battery, cleaning the connections, and putting it all back together. It's been running problem-free for months now! Here is my original post and replies on that exact issue: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/strange-crash-specific-app-t3604379
I'm not that good at assembly/disassembly, but this was very easy! Good luck!
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you

Nice! I have a 2nd N9 as well, a white one (my first was black) and it has that same issue. I cleaned the battery connection. Fixed it for a few months, then came back. Now at all different battery levels (all below 40%). Iay try cleaning it again.
My first one is on it's 2nd USB daughterboard. And needs another one now. Mostly my fault this time. Watching movies in my work truck (really safe, I know) with an OTG stick plugged in and it fell out of it's stand and smacked right on the otg stick. Now charging and OTG file transfers are hit and miss (mostly miss).
I'm going to fix it again. The USB daughterboard is only around $10 - $15 US. Takes about 15 minutes to fix.
Seems the different colors (white, black, sand color) each are prone to each of the common hardware issues. Black one never had battery issue, but it's getting bubbles in screen at the corners.
Both have the faded, white - ish spots on the screen at the left side (in landscape). Around where the nav bar is in portrait. May have something to do with it.
Ok I've rambled on enough, LoL.
Enjoy your weekend, all you Nexus 9 owners out there.
Sure, we were all a little disappointed at the build quality. Especially for the launch price. And ESPECIALLY if you had the added excitement of upgrading from a Nexus 7 (2013), like I did (and many others). But we still hang on to the 9 because it's tough to replace. Size, flashability, nostalgia, and a bunch of leftover "but this thing was supposed to a super Nexus* that doesn't go away.
Ok done rambling for real this time! ?
Hello guys,
I'm having some serious issues with overheating.
I saw that it's affecting alot also performace of device as of latery.
I have upgraded 1 week ago from android 9 EU to android 10 global.
Could it be some issue with current android where something is even working on background and making device use processor too much?
Can I somehow "tune" graphic on mine device (without rooting) ?
As I play alot of black desert mobile and it's anjoying if mine device is almost untouchable due to overheating.
Or do you think it's HW issue mainly and I should send it to repair ?
Thanks,
Martin
What did you do in the end? My Mi A3 is currently in the fridge because the temperature has gone over 20C in the UK and it's crashing continually.
That's a pity - 20C and your phone can't handle it? How does that happen???? Go to my place and the temp is constantly at 35C and I still max out everything I could in every game. No problem.
About the overheating, that's a normal thing. Through time of course the performance would go down and thus it would run hotter trying to keep up the performance. But really, chill people. If your phone is about 35C - 40C, it's just hot and to be honest, it's a normal thing hardware-wise.
If it's A LOT hotter after the update, it's due to the software. So you can flash Pie back, or use custom ROM, or just wait for another update.
I've just noticed that the July update from Google has been released recently. Fingers crossed. When I say 20C I mean ambient temperature here in the UK... the phone itself gets *way* hotter. I know phones get hot when the CPU is stressed but my phone was sat by my side here outside (in the shade) and it randomly rebooted twice whilst idle. After hard restart (press and hold power down for a few seconds) it comes back up and will work for a couple of minutes before becoming unresponsive again. As the problem seemed to get a lot worse with Android 10 and the recommendation is to go back to version 9, I'm hoping that Google/Xiaomi are able to fix it. I'm a techie working and developing stuff since 8-bit games so I'm more than happy with low-level stuff but firmware updates on phones still freak me out
