I was hiking the slot canyon in Anza yesterday and when I finally got back to a restaurant, I realized the phone , which I'd never enabled anything in particular on, had counted all my steps and several other things.
Does anyone know how to disable step counting on emui 5? I've done all the obvious things, like "disable step counting". Thanks. I don't care how many steps I've taken, only that I arrived.
Also: I meant to mention this but forgot. The camera works great for me, but that isn't good enough for the Honor 8. After I've taken some pictures, about 3 hours later, it always pops up a notification that says "I've finished enhancing your picture of _____" . What if I don't want an enhanced picture? Is there a way to turn off all this irritating crap? Thanks again.

If you are referring to the step count being displayed on the lock screen then you disable it through the screen lock settings. Otherwise, I believe it's in the Health App itself.
Not sure about the photo enhancing. Never seen that one before.
What app do tell you about step counting.
Plus, clear data and cache of the camera app and see if the pop-up is still present
I didn't even know that the Honor 8 had a built in step counter app in it's software.

Well, I forgot the name, it was the Health app (HiHealth or something). Try to find it and open it, you will find all your steps and lots of other information about your "health".

Maybe you have already removed it ?
It's this one : http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/huawei...lease/health-1-1-26-310-android-apk-download/
But I have the chinese version of the Honor, so maybe some apps are differents ?

The only fitness app I can find is called "google fit". I've disabled it. However, the steps are still there after disabling them on the lock screen & disabling the fit app, so I think it may be a bug or else there is another counter that just keep going. It's not that bad and it doesn't eat up any noticeable energy.

I just realized I had an app called "Health" and disabled it, and now it is gone from the lock screen. The lock screen setup doesn't work for turning off steps (or not showing them). The app was located in the /system/app folder as hw-health-midware.apk

It seems that you have the Chinese variant, as the US model doesn't come with the health app.

Probably doesn't matter what my frd-l04 came with that I bought from newegg that I use on ATT. It matters more that I updated to Nougat and that's the beta which had the health app in it. On marshmallow, I never had the step counter or the health app.

I probably just don't recall it from Marshmallow since I updated the first day I got it. The good news is that it's called "healthd" and can be disabled and deleted as can all their crapware if desired. I just did that and I'm not rooted yet.

What I can confirm is, the huawei health isn't present in MM on FRD-L04 (US version)
Hi everyone, I'm currently an happy Honor 6x (not 8 yet) owner.
The only thing that makes me crazy of my phone is its fake (I think) implementation of gyroscope.
Here's the fact: my previous phone LG G4 was a perfect hardware companion for MSQRD app, when launched app was immediately able to synchronize overlapping image to my face with no
delay and fast and non flickering adjustations.
Now on Honor 6x things are totally wrong with too big delay between any movement and overlapped image, so to get MSQRD totally unusable.
I need you to try MSQRD app (you can easily find on PlaysStore) on your Honor 8 smartphone and tell me how it performs for you.
I'm very grateful in adavance to anyone who will help me.
Thank you very much.
Just tested it for you and it worked instantly. No wait, no config! Honor 8 with B380

Thank you so much Linkazoid, so you are telling me that the app works without any flaw and you can see realtime your face with overlapped mask on your phone display?
Overlapped mask isn't trying to follow your face when you move but moves instantly with it, is that right?

How long until its available via OTA?
In my experience one week or until next update.... ?
Can this version be rooted with Magisk?
No, no root is available.
Can someone who did update confirm that the OEM Unlock is not grayed out ?
OEM unlock is greyed out but active.

Thanks
Is there a way to force the upgrade ? Im on 8.1 latest software and stock no root and no unlock bootloader. Any help would be awesome!

We need developers who are willing to spend a lot of time and resources on this phone. The development for this phone has been marginal and things are unlikely to change much.
The newer Mate 20 running Android 9 has to this day still not been rootable .... everything pointing to one single thing: if you buy a Huawei phone you get stuck to Emui and unrootable phone. I myself plan to stay on 8.1 forever unless root and twrp become available.
Got OTA today. The problems with sound distortion that I had when streaming using LDAC and HWA at the highest bitrate are gone. They added the gesture navigation from Mate 20 Pro but this still need work as it's not smooth enough.

Yes, I'm in the beta and this is the first update since the initial release. The model is CTL-L29.
I think they are close to releasing the final version and I heard that this will happen this month.

Hello, can you confirm or deny if the P20 Pro get Master AI 2.0 like the Mate 20 series has? Master AI 1.0 was over the top in processing and color. Thanks.

I don't think there is a way to check per say, but you should see big differences in how it processes images. For instance Blue Sky or Greenery will not be over the top like in P20 Pro. The Mate 20's version of Master AI is much improved over the P20 series.
I hope this version would help fix some historical problems, especially the one with smart unlock stop working that really piss me off.
Said this, I hope at the time Huawei will release the OTA it will be stable enough to don't let me regret Oreo.
Just for fun, in Italy sometimes major updates appeared before on branded models, I think this is merely due to the attempt to please the operators.

Was thinking exactly the same, this disappearing Smart Lock issue is very annoying.
Is there anyone here running on beta that can confirm it was resolved?
Hi all just purchased a Huawei P40 Pro purely because I am a huge Huawei fan boy I believe Huawei make some am amazing products, I like many thought this has to be the end of Huawei when the announcement of Google was being dropped last year but I have bitten the bullet and purchased a P40 Pro all my key apps have come across EXCEPT Barclays Bank?
Can anyone share a workaround for this please?

Hey yeah I think the google thing was a bit awful for them but then when you look at the freedom it gives them In the sense of how they run android as an AOSP they can now be more creative! But the work around I would recommend is just add it as a short cut to the home screen, its a mobile version of the site so it has the app feel but in a short cut. That's what I have done! How are you getting on with the phone? don't forget theres a promo with the free watch so remember to claim that!

Use weblink and save it as a shortcut to your homes screen, that's the best workaround currently. What other apps did you pull over? have you found any others that don't work i may be able to help.

I think you will just have to use the web version and save the link. Barclays have always been bit strange when it comes to others using their services in my experience. They don't let you use Gpay and you can only be used with apple pay.

The HMA-L29 Mate 20 already get 10.1 over OTA. I bet frw days and we will get 10.1 for Maze 20X
https://www[DOT]huaweicentral[DOT]com/emui-10-1-begins-to-roll-out-for-huawei-mate-20-x-4g/
the update started going to 20x
So I've gotten EMUI 10.1 and lot of the features are missing from Mate 20 X. No app switch gesture no Huawei Assistant No Meetime No multi device control panel. mate 20 Pro users suggest these work
For me only really the colorful AOD, and better multitasking work.

Everything work fine with the new way of activating floating windows and Split screens!
I can feel the performance increases too as Huawei has claimed about EMUI 10.1.
However, there is one major "disadvantage" and that is the speaker media volume loudness has been reduced about 30% to 40% as compared to EMUI 10 judging by the media volume control level! It's quite obvious literrately!
If the speaker media volume loudness is a great concern to you. This issue might hold you back! Other than this, EMUI 10.1 is problem free! :good:
