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.

I removed the app as soon as I found out it was still counting my "steps" when I was sitting in the bus...

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".

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.

the problem with the screenshot is that android system and android OS never were the top consuming items back in marshmallow
They were in my case but now it's much worse... sometimes can't make it till dinner time.
Together with the Bluetooth crashing this Nougat upgrade it's a total disappointment.

did u do a factory reset ?
Still not, I'm planning to do it but it's so much work...
Suddenly without any new SW update (still B341) the battery drain is much better.
It didn't came for free though: the timer is totally screwed up so alarms are missed or late, apps in background closed, whatsapp messages received only at screen unlock plus as soon I unlock and bring down the notifications the new ones randomly disappears.
I was waiting a new SW update since there are many new versions around but it looks takes much longer with the EVA-L09 Vodafone Germany version.
Thinking about using the downgrade package provided by Huawei.
Do you guys sleep apps in the device optimizer? I just found it the other day, seems like a good thing, probably the best we can get till we can get root
I have all of my apps that I don't need notifications from set to Always Sleep. Seems to help the battery some.
If you are looking to disable apps or block them I recommend BK Disabler. No root needed.
Also root is available, just be careful because it has ALOT of set backs. In my opinion not worth it right now.

With all the aggregated data collected from pretty much every app within android and google really, what does disabling Carrier IQ do?

It aggregates all of you data, ties it to you phone number and your AT&T account. It's quite a bit more invasive than Google's anonymously collected data.
Also it crush battery and uses about 20 - 200 MB of data a month.
Super shady.

Yeah I switch to BK because sometimes u you only want to disable specific services not the entire package.
On the S8 the Carrier IQ was hidden in the system package.

Got this on the L02 a week back. Did notice the gallery recycle bin, neat. The best thing is when a WhatsApp notification pops up while using another app, it automatically gives an icon to switch to multi window without needing to pause what you were doing.

Just an FYI Huawei Health and Huawei Wear haven't been updated to work with the first developer preview of Android P. Both apps keep crashing. If anything changes I'll advise here.
I have been struggling with the same issue, is there any other application that can sync the data from watch to phone, like sleeping analysis ?
That's a bummer, I don't plan to run the DP until Google I/O so hopefully huawei addresses this fast. Hope you sent a bug report ?

Nope. No huawei health data can sync without the phone apps. You'd be better off using google fit for steps, and sleep as android for sleep.

Typically when an app crashes it will have a little pop-up to send feedback. I almost always just hit cancel, it's become second nature. Other than that I'm not sure how else to send a bug report to them...maybe on the huawei health play store page?

Thanks! I always thought that went to Google but makes sense it would go to the developers. I have done this now. I really don't expect much movement on this for a while. Considering rolling back to Oreo.

Just be careful rolling back, think I read somewhere that you can't recert to a previous version anymore with pixels. I think it's because of security reasons, so they only allow you to update....I could very well be wrong, but check it out before flashing anything

Thanks Gators. I found a good article about downgrading. But I decided to stay with Android P for now. I have survived without Huawei Fit and Huawei Wear. Google Fit seems to be holding up alright
Good news. Today Huawei health was updated and no longer crashes.
However Huawei wear has not been updated yet and seems to get less updates. Last one was February. Hopefully they do an update soon.

Health data from the watch doesn't sync with the phone if the Huawei Wear app isn't installed on the watch unfortunately.
I wonder why it takes them so long to fix it.
Guys finally it works with Huawei health beta app!! You can add the watch from the health app, no need for Huawei wear app anymore.
EDIT: just search for "Huawei Health 8.0.2.317-wearBeta.apk" you should be able to download the apk and install it normally

Hello all. Often I get lag and camera failed error. It happens mostly when I launch camera from double press off power key, into video mode. The camera is unusable for some time.
*How do I update the camera APK from APK mirror. I always get app not installed when side loading system apps. This issue I had on previous Samsung flagships.
is the app your trying to sideload signed ? are you rooted ? sorrry they seem like obvious questions and i think i remember your name from back in the day on the evo 3d forum ??? so your not new to this, but had to check

Thanks for reply. I mean they are from APK mirror but not sure if signed. I'm not rooted and have no plans to.
Hahaha you got me, I'm an old head lol. Haven't needed to get help often so yeah it's been a while
I would not side load this.
There may be a glitch with using the side key to launch it.
Try in safe mode to rule out a 3rd party app...
Keep trashware social media apps like WhatsApp, Tic-tok, FB, etc off the phone.
Clear system cache.
Clear cam data and try again.
thought the name seemed familiar, think weve crossed paths several times with various devices over the years, you would need root to sideload it im quite sure, as it would be trying to overwrite the original app

Go to Device Care and in memory clear the cache apps. Now try the side switch cam thing, after it launches go immediately back to Device Care and see what apps loaded since it was cleared.
It may give a clue to the cause. I've used this technique to track down some nasty little buggers. It's saved me from a factory reset.
