Hello
I moved from Note 5 to Mate 9 which is impressive. However, in Note 5 I used to activate Private Mode via fingerprint but this option is not available anymore in Mate 9 although some sites are talking about the same steps.
Since I can't find an option for Private Mode, using "Private Space" can I move files from user 1 to user 2 to keep them private?
I hope I explained the question correctly.
Thanks,

Graphite Software has released a new ROM for the Nexus 5, and its pretty cool with ability to create a hidden virtual phone. There are some apps on the play store called Hidden Apps that allow you to create and switch into a hidden space (virtual phone). There is also a predefined Tor space configured with apps you can use and download via QR code.
Check it out!
update
One of the uses we are trying to provide is to allow a user to create a Hidden Tor space on their device (currently Nexus 5). The space (virtual phone) is encrypted but can be easily created and destroyed. Just by scanning a QR code you can download and install a Tor package and you are up and running in minutes, and tear it down in seconds (rinse and repeat as desired). Access to this space is hidden via a special knock in a Hidden Space App on your device.
Any Nexus 5 users interested in trying the ROM?

Good evening
Best wishes to you all
Sorry for my Bad english but I will try to do my best to explain the incredible bug encountered and warn everyone about my problem hoping it will avoid you the same disaster
I hope you can help me even if I do not believe it anymore...
Since I was caught by the time I carried out the daily transfer (by car, in the night, eating ....) of my photos / videos between my old phone (galaxy note 3) and my new Huawei mate 9 and this in several stages over several days via bluetooth.
Since everything worked perfectly because I checked day after day that I had the same number of files, I opened the videos transferred to the mate 9 and everything was there.
But one day I open the files transferred on the mate 9 and there everything disappeared except the directory tree: I mean that the folder transfered are there with their original names but all the content have been deleted and the folders transfered are well there but are all empty.
Of course like an idiot i have deleted the original content from my note 3 as I checked a successful transfer: result I have so far lost a major number of pro and family photos and video due to some sort of bug Of the mate 9.
I tried all the apps of recovery possible on the Google store or on Windows (easus, dr fone ....) but nothing does they do not find anything (and I'm in development mode with debug USB activated after that i have pressed 9 times on the phone model)
I know that I proceeded as an adventurer without saving before doing this damned transfer.
But do you think that there is a hope that I can manage to find by some means those files that have disappeared miraculously but their folders are still there but empty.
Thank you for your suggestions
Small precision in case: I made these transfers on the session of my second user account of my mate 9 and not the master account originally created during the first start of the phone.
I noticed that these additional user accounts are attractive at first but in fact there are too many limitations: only the master account can send MMS for example in no case the additional accounts even with all the permissions granted, there are Other limitations too ... I contacted Huawei who confirmed these limitations for security reasons according to them.
Similarly one can delete at any time the additional user accounts but if you want to delete the main account it is absolutely necessary to reset the phone and it is impossible to reverse one of the secondary accounts into master account, you will have to reset and recreate as desired.
The more absurd for me is the inability to transfer files present on the internal memory between sessions of user accounts, we can only access the files of our current session even when we are into in the session of the master account we can't access the files of one of our others account.
You dont have your stuff backing up to one of the many available clouds?
amazon, google, dropbox, etc.
I would have mentioned easus but looks like you tried. I feel bad for you but take it as a learning lesson, backup important stuff. Get you a hdd, cloud backup and computer backup minimum. Never solely rely on a cell phone.
Huawei is big on security. Sometimes they get it right but if your 2nd user account was someone you didnt want to access your information you would appreciate the added security. I have never used guest accounts or anything but I remember my 2 year old was playing with my phone as she always do, and few minutes later she was in twrp attempting to delete everything. This was a 128gb nexus 6p filled to the rim with important information.
any twrp backups from previous phones?
Don't call it a bug because It isn't.
And also there are easier and much faster ways to transfer files out there.

Hello... about my problem...
I have contacted Huawei and I was surprised that they seemed almost to know the problem : they told me "you had a file corruption" at our stage we can not do anything you need to contact [email protected] with the following ticket number that we will create together ".
I wrote 3 days ago ... Still no answers ...
We will see ... But given the bad comments found on the net about the Huawei support I have no illusions ...
Last episode and season finale of my bad experience
I had the Huawei support by phone finally... They admit that there must be a file corruption "bug" on the mate 9 and they propose me to send the phone to a technician to try to do something without any guarantee to succeed and of course without lending of a phone replacement during this period.
If I can go back I will never buy this phone 1stly for the bug encountered but seeing the support recognising that it can be a real bug from the phone and not lending a phone... For a 700€ phone the support and results are very bad in the end.
Excepted this bug the mate 9 has many limitations and bad cons that I will explain in a video in a few days to describe why if I could I won't buy the mate 9 again
have you checked if the files are still taking a space inside the storage? or it is all free?
there is a lot of viruses out there that could have renamed or hide your original folders

Hi Michel
It is exactly what I think and after discussing about this the Huawei technical phone operator told me that it can be the files corrupted by the bug : yes I am sure that the actual storage is higher than it must be, at least 8-10 Go more...And that's why they propose me to send it to their technical support but without any guarantee to succeed and with no phone to lend during this period.
I hope that soon there will be a root 100% secure of this phone to do a full recovery deeper as possible but for the moment I don't know how to access this extra storage used that I can found exploring the phone in all the account users sessions or with hi suite or others recovery software (Dr fone, easus...) and I have enabled the option show hidden files and folders into ES explorer but no results
Hope you learned a valuable lesson.
Backup your data. Anything can happen. Bug. Stolen. Lost. Water damage.
I do have sympathy but very little.

NO I think its different file safe just hide files whereas private space is the separate phone system different.... I'll try to post a picture of what I mean I'm on Oreo and it seems to work for me. I wonder do you know what the notification assistant is?
This is what I'm talking about
I'm missing that strange ,it's not worth me factory resetting I don't think because huawei will be removing the beta 3 november.sirry don't know what notification assistant is I'll be sure to let you know if i find out.cheers sean
If you have your default storage set to SD card, it will not show up. Default storage has to be set to internal.
Thanks Philly sorted
For getting private space on Huawei mate 9 oreo.
go to Settings > Security & privacy > PrivateSpace > ENABLE
After you create a Private Space, you can only enter it's settings when currently on the actual Private Space.
Hello,
I am looking for an app like Samsung's Secure Folder. Is there something similar? And in particular is there a smartphone which has something similar by default?
I know Xiaomi use that, but you cannot use first and second place together. In samsung, the secure folder is an app so you can use apps hidden there together with normal apps.
I'm looking for the same thing, any alternative to Samsung Secure Folder for other device
I would like to switch to Huawai with EMUI 8 but it dosen't seem to have something similar by default
I've just watched a video on YouTube about the Huawei 20 pros features, and the secure folder is one of the things keeping me with Samsung.
The video shows Huawei has a private space, feature in security settings that you can move apps and files into.
You can have a different finger print and password to the one for unlocking the phone.
I saw videos about private space but I'm not sure if apps can run in background and if you get notifications while is not active
just opened a new thread in P20 forum
Redmi Note 9 Pro : I've had a lot of cell phones, but only on my Redmi Note 9 Pro does the following happen:
Miui 12 has a function "Automatically on/off speaker ...". But this only works with "talkback". For generations of mobile phones there have been extra programs for this function that either run separately or are built into audio recorders or phone apps. However, these apps do not work on my Remi 9. That was the reason why I rooted the device. However, there was no change. The rooting process had no effect. E.g. I would like to send an SMS to myself using "AutomateIt" when I receive an email. - But it doesn't work either. AI asks for permission to read emails. I give permission. Everything looks well, but if I check the permissions under "additional permissions" afterwards, no permission has been granted.
First I thought it was due to AI - but I think it is due to Redmi n9: I tried to rename any file in the root - e.g. "media / mybootanimation.zip". A message appears that this cannot be carried out. Whereby it doesn't work with multiple explorers. If I change the rights of the file to "755", that doesn't work either.
Accordingly, there is generally a write block.
Can someone tell me what to do to make this work?
