[APP]Smart Stay Ex

Hi guys I found this app was up for beta testing here at XDA developed by elnoxvie, its similar to Smart Stay & works on GB ROMs too. I'm posting it here so that if any there are any compatibility problems with our handset it could be ironed out by the developer.
- Go to the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708012
- Get the latest beta & test it on your R.
- Report on the same thread your observations & problems you faced.
- Beta testers will get a discount.
The app is out of Beta & is available at the Play store. I have done beta testing for the app with my stock GB ROM, it was working fine & Galaxy R has been granted support. But it may not work on some custom ROMs.
Here are links:
1. SmartStay Ex Lite
2. SmartStay Ex Pro
Cheers!

Bro I read you wrote there that it is working for you but it is not for me on NEO ROM 2.1!!
I can only hear Stupid camera clicks and the screen goes off even if i am watching it.
I hope you be the Representative there and Report all the issues faced so that we can get a Nice Working Release !:angel:

You'll have to report yourself cause he may try to understand your problem & ask you submit logs which only you can do.
So I'll request everyone to post your observations after testing it in the original thread as it'll help the developer in making it fully compatible with our device.

Ehhh !! i installed this app, but how do i know whether this is working or not, i can only hear camera clicks !!

I've installed it for some minutes. I think that you need to restart the phone after installing the app, but, first, enable the boot option inside it.
I suppose that those clicks are real photos been taking by the phone, I also hear it... just a bug. The app is trying to analyze the face and it's searching for the eyes.
If you want to try it, set the display timeout to 15s (in phone's settings), turn on your room's light and put the mobile to a reasonable distance from your face, you'll see that it doesn't switch off the screen, after this, just leave it far from you and, if everything is ok, it should go to sleep in some seconds.
The software need to mature a lot, it consumes tons of CPU time and, eventually, it starts to eat all the ram and CPU, leaving your phone in a semi-freezed mode, I was able to restart it but took some time.
Besides that, it did its function, it kept the display on while I was watching at it, and afterwards it put it to sleep.

By sending a log you are sending some sensitive information to this app's developer. I think this is how it's done though I'm not 100% sure:
- First download & install the new v1.4 of the app.
- Now start /open the app, after clicking on 'OK' lock your device once by pressing the lock key.
- Now click on 'Send Logs' in the app. It'll ask you to download & install a log collector app so install it & open it.
- Next Tick 'Debug' and go through the process of running the app when you are facing the front Cam with some distance between you & your front Cam so as to let it try to detect your face. Now let it run once when you do not face the front Cam.
- Next Click on Send logs once again then click on OK.
- It'll then allow you to Email the log to this app's developer.
- If the app works then don't send the logs.
Hope this helps. Cheers !

App is out of Beta & it's available for download at the Play store. Check OP for the links & more info.
Cheers !

Thx @ cooleagle
ex lite version works though

it is working

Interesting app, but it fails to recognize in landscape mode. Also uses too much cpu, and phone lags while shooting images.

It does work in landscape mode AFAIR but it's hard to keep your face in the field of view of the front camera in the landscape mode.
Yep you are right about others except the lagging part but that can vary from person to person.

The app is working, however, the shutter sound is very annoying. Just imagine when you fall asleep and suddenly hear that noise.

There's an option to turn off the shutter sound but it's a temporary fix as it switches the handset into 'Silent' mode for the duration of the shutter sound which affects others functions of the handset as well.

Default App always switches back

Hey guys,
My default launcher and my default sms app keep switching back to default on its own. Sometimes when I reboot or when I pair a new Bluetooth device.
Not sure why, and I keep switching it back. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix it?
I've switched me default sms app probably a few hundred times since getting my new phone and seems like every time I get a text message I'm like WTF where is it? Lol

Yes this has been discussed before. There's a bug that seems to reset the defaults when you use Bluetooth.
I'm using the stock launcher so can't really comment in detail.

Can you link the other thread discussing this issue?

Sorry I do not recall, you'll have to try the search function.

With the Mate 9, I have the same issue of my default sms app being switched back to factory sms. I also see it having correlation to using ultra battery mode, meaning that I discover the switch only after returning from ultra battery. I called Huawei, great staff btw, but they were unable to resolve the issue. Told me to use phone manager more to clear cache and optimize the device. Neither of those actions have resolved the switch. I'll stop using ultra battery and see if anything else triggers it.

I found that reboot and adding or removing a paired Bluetooth device will trigger it as well.

Hi.
You can try:
Settings -> write on the top search bar: "default" -> Default apps -> Settings for default apps (or some thing like this, I'm spanish) -> Launcher
and change value there.

This won't help...this is a bug in Chinese version ROM....I've both Chinese Mate 9 and International Mate 9....the international one don't have this issue....
The launcher will reset to default one, if mate 9 successfully connected to a bluetooth device when you are not in launcher screen.....
Nobody seems care about this bug...but this bugs is very annoying....If there is any huawei engineer looking in this forum I've made a video for you to check it out.....

Actually I've try every method to contact the so-call customer support in huawei, but just no reply....I try to use the hicare apps to contact them since i am chinese i can write it in chinese and they told me there is some problem in their system and ask me to contact a phone number which is a free phone call in china....I am not in china, so i cannot dial that number....Then I try to go to huawei's website and ask the online customer service there....I even made a video for them.....and told them there is many issue in xda....however....they reply me....1. they cannot connect to the internet(indeed they receive my video,since i can send attachment in the online customer service session)......2. they will pass to somebody who will reply me in 48 hours... and 48hours passed....nobody contact me....I leave my phone number and email address to them...I even told them if there is problem in using long distance call, just send me email with a phone number i can call them back.....but no reply at all.....Besides complain in the website there is nothing i can do really....

I am in Hong Kong. Of course i cannot contact local support, it's a chinese firmware mate 9, the hong kong dealer will not take care this.....(Hong Kong use international firmware).....

I have likewise noticed the launcher switch back to the default one occasionally, and searching google led me here. I bought a Huawei Mate 10 Pro in Bangkok, Thailand last month. I love the phone, but this suddenly switching back to the default without notice was concerning, esp. after reading the news that all U.S. Intelligence agencies issued a warning to all Americans to not use Huawei products due to their possibly being monitored/tracked by the Chinese government and military. Glad to hear the international version rom doesn't have this glitch. It makes me feel it's a genuine glitch in the rom rather than something malicious? sigh... Fantastic phone though, best Android phone I've owned to date. It's a shame they killed the deal with AT&T to bring it enmasse here. Way better than iPhone X or Galaxy S9 in my opinion.

This case happened on my phone (Huawei Honor V8 with emui 8.0) . After system reboot, the third-part SMS app which I set to default Messaging app will lose messaging permission sometimes. I have to check carefully every time I rebooted my phone as I can't sovled it.

Some questions about android 8 notifications, got some bugs? annoyances

I hope this is the right thread, and i hope you guys can help me with this.

I don't have the Mate 10 Pro but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device and variants.

that oem is known for having odd issues with notifications. Due to the way they do doze.

so a smart move is to get a clean android 8 instead of huawais?

Still using Pie

I'm using one hand operation + with gesture to lock screen. It is samsung own software so that you can open phone with fingerprint

just to refresh my question......unfortunately the proposed CSC manager is not supported by Androis 10 and most likely will never get updated anymore... ...any other tool or way that I can get this feature activated.
or would it be helpfull to change region, as app-lock seems to be available in other regions.
Thx for your reply.

I'm no expert , but if you root your device , and the app is still (hidden and disabled) there . I don't see any problems for someone with skills or the "know how" to unhide it and make it available .

EMUI 10.1.0.135 beta on EVR_AL00

It's my second time I've finally broken through all obstacles of the Chinese language and managed to subscribe for EMUI 10.1 beta. And it was worth it.
That was yesterday and today I received the shiny new beta update. As usual after installation, I firstly transform the appearance into pure Android (in my opinion there is no such flexible launcher as EMUI when you get the hang of it).
After adaptation, I started to explore my brand new device. It's a lot to try, I'm attaching some pictures for the first impression.
For those who want to try it, there is still time to catch the train. It's only for the Chinese model, you must install Huawei Club app from Huawei app store and crawl through Chinese instructions. Good luck.

Thanks

Can you put instructions? I can't find anything in the Huawei Club app

Ok. Please don't be upset if the last part wouldn't be exactly accurate. The result is to be achieved by trial and error. It's hard to reproduce the exact procedure in Chinese and there are different highlighted links all lead to the final result. Below you have marked some of those links.
What is important:
You must be registered by Huawei as Chinese (you can switch this later back).
No Chinese sim is needed but you have to register your phone number for verification purposes.
You must be on 10.0.200 (if you are not, separate instruction is available for the upgrade).
You must download Huawei club app from Huawei store. Sooner or later you must register yourself with this club.
Follow beta application steps as you can see below. As I mentioned before there might be some errors incorporated and you can get to the same result from a different sequence of steps.
You'll be informed when you succeed. And soon after your beta license is going to appear in system upgrade settings.

Theme is dark IOS from here:

customized and with sans fonts.
the icon pack is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.materialthings
it's a paid version but I think that the free will do as well:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.materialfree
and the whole point is in limitless customization enabled with:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.themeeditor

how you activate google assistant???

I've always had Google Assistant. Installed it from GPS. Only I can't use a hotword from any screen, I have to either open the Assistant or use it in Android auto. That's good enough for me.
And Huawei strict battery policy kills it now and then and I must open it again.

Is it resolved sound problems.

What is a low volume? Volume on the loudspeakers is just below the distortion level and the sound is good as it could be on the phone.
Volume on my wired earphones goes to the limit of the sustainable level.
On Bluetooth, earpieces are just loud enough but I guess that the loudness depends on the Bluetooth device a lot.
And yes, Dolby is active.
Besides, what I noticed so far is that 2 Google apps sometimes lags significantly after upgrade: Google and Gplay store. assistant with Android auto works flawlessly though.
And the camera is completely renewed. New functionality, new possibilities, better menu, similar to the new Huawei phones. I haven't had a chance to really try it yet.

Every on on internet sying that android 10 dystroyed the sound of the phone?
There is no bass
Low volume means decreased loudness of the phone

Bluetooth is a little messed on 10.1. my Sony mx buds cut in and out sometimes

Installed beta first time. Still no problems faced.

Hello. What is your model number? And in what region do you have your Huawei ID? In my case I have the EVR-AL00 and the region I used was China for the process. Also I had debloated the phone but reverted it back to clean stock for the process (because I removed some stuff that didn't let me get the beta profile). Btw, I don't think the region matter because now with my country region I can do the steps and everything goes well as I posted. If you want I can make a screen recording showing. Let me know.

After signup just need join the beta programme. Click that white box witj chinese for joining beta and downloading beta profile.
