Multi/dual window doesn't work - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
My previous cellphone is s5 which I most like for its multi windows function.
But unfortunately, I only received "this application is not supported by dual windows" message for any applications that I've tried.. Any of you have success experience with this feature with mate 8?
Thanks,
Gerry

hm iirc this feature only works with supported huawei apps....

I can not find this multitask menu..
"1 - Go to settings/Multitask windows and disable "
Is it just for honor?
Btw, i've tried "multi window sidebar" app, it feels like my s5, just it doesnt split the screen..

Themes Store

I'm coming from a Huawei P9 Lite, and I loved about it the many themes there were available for donwloading, but now, in my Honor 8, when I enter to THEMES, it only shows Local Themes, there's not any option to download ...
Is there a problem with my phone, Huawei does not has this option for Honor? Or what?
Thanks already to those who can provide me information or solutions.
You have to have your Huawey account set on the phone (maybe the HiCare as well but I don't remeber).
Than you can download themes from the app called "Themes"
Thanks. I'll try that. But What I noticed is my phone doesn't have Huawei ID pre-installed nor Hicloud and Hicare... Will see if it's possible to install it or not...
Are you able to download themes?

You can apply themes from developers here though. Like MaterialVUI.

Yes I am able to download them:
From the settings you should be able to sign into your Huawei account (there is a menu optoin for that).
That's exactly how it was on my Huawei p9 lite, but can't manage to do it in my Honor 8, last question, what themes app version (or build) do you have? Thanks again.
Can you guys upload the apk. Needed to have this working... Thank you

I have L09 with B120 and the app version is 7.3.20
Have you updated to the latest firmware?
Have you backup, factory reset and restore?

Did you set your phone number? The only difference what I see right now from the screenshots that you have your email adress and I have my phone number (and secondarily my email) paired to my account.
I used my email address, so I don't think it could be that. Maybe if you try and force close the theme app, clear all the data etc.
Go to settings > apps > and select the themes app
I'm having the same problem and i recently discovered that themes store is not available in US versions:

Ok,good news here @danymart94
I finally found a solution
Get this app from play store
It's called EMUI tweaker:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.emuitweaker
Now, from the list hit Disable online theme, by default it's turned on
Just switch it off by hitting the toggle then head to the Themes app,
Launch it then your themes app will show a disclaimer now hit ok...
Tada ... online themes are just between your hands.

Double tap to wake up

Does No body yet figure out why Double-Tap to wake up not working on mate 9 and any trick to enable it???
I really wish that there was a solution to enable it
Yes, sell and buy something better. I'll back to Z11. Mate 9 not have any special and user friendly for me.
download from the market
There are several apps who promise to do this. As far as I know it depends on the kernel. Huawei mate 9 kernel does not support it yet. So if you tested a app which has a working workaround please give the link to that app.

as far as I know those apps only works with Amoled displays and I think for mate 9 power consumption would be high
correct me if I'm wrong
Anyone tested this guide on Mate 9? It works on Mate 8 and P9.

Yeah, you get the setting but can't enable it.
I decided to go with Proximity sensors for the time being until someone could find a solution
Also is your mate 9 touchscreen a little bit weak in sensing your fingers too??? Sometimes I have to tap 3 times to do a thing. I'm coming from Galaxy Note 3 and this really began to bother me

The Honor 9 is too new. I don't think anyone has managed to root it yet. Even if they do, these features probably won't be compatible with our firmware. That's why the monochrome feature on the P10 still doesn't work for us.

I think it only came with the Chinese firmware. Even that hasn't been ported to all versions and it's basically the same phone.

Rommco05 said:
Yeah I think too isn't for all models.
Honor 9 my feelings:
Camera is great! 3D panorama is really interesting BUT I think Honor 9 don't use fully potential of hardware. I have before Honor 8 and with latest updates was a bit better, especially when taking remotely objects.
Objects which is near is perfect!

What is that pre installed "Information" app?

So I have this pré installed app named "Information", it occupies 56 KB.
What is that thing used for? Do I keep it or uninstall it?
(it's not about storage, it's more that seeing something that looks useless is messing my head)

I said so because i never seen such app on my any of the Honor phones till date and that seems to be a result of installing as any other app, launcher etc so quickly mentioned to uninstall rather waiting.

There's no Swype for Huawei keyboard pre-installed.

Hello,
I had Huawei GR5, there was Swype for Huawei keyboard pre-installed.
I bought a new mobile ( Huawei GR3 2017 ) and found only Gboard !
I thought Swype for Huawei keyboard comes with all Huawei mobiles, Am I wrong ?
If there should be the keyboard, Why I can't find it ?
If the mobile doesn't come with it, Can I take the APK from another Huawei phone ( GR5 ) and it will be compatible with GR3 2017 ?
Gboard is better I also using it

I liked Swype more than Gboard.
My question is, Does the phone really don't come with Swype Keyboard ? Or I'm missing something in the settings or I should do factory reset or something else ?

It got removed for me after updating. This is happening on plenty of users.
it should be by default. if not, a factory reset or settings-apps-3 dots, reset app preference may bring it back again.
