mate 9 us version missing features? - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

i read in some articles about lock screen efects and tap to unlock and other stuff .this phone support this or only international and chinese versions?

Not sure what effects you're talking about. No tap to wake in any Mate 9 version. The Chinese version has more bundled apps (read bloatware?) and an extra optional button in the bottom navigation bar if I remember correctly.

If you want to change the Huawei Mate 9 lockscreen to customize it to your liking, there are several different ways that you can do this. Since the Huawei Mate 9 lock screen is the first thing you see on the smartphone, it’s a good idea to add different widgets and icons to the lock screen to make the Huawei Mate 9 more usable. You can also change the lock screen wallpaper of the Huawei Mate 9 as well.
Just go to the settings section, and browse for the “Lock screen” you’ll see a list of different features you can add to the lock screen of the Huawei Mate 9.
Dual Clock – shows both home and current time zones if you’re traveling
Clock Size – makes it easier to see by making it bigger or smaller
Show the Date – self explanatory, if you want the date shown, keep this checked
Camera Shortcut – allows you to instantly unlock to the camera
Owner Information – lets users add Twitter handles or other information to the lockscreen
Unlock Effect – this changes the entire look and feel of the unlock effect and animation. We prefer watercolor.
Additional Info – allows you to add or remove weather and pedometer info from lockscreen

they say you can add the weather on locks screen.can we do this?

I guess you answered your own question then.
On my lock screen I have time, date, name, pedometer (disabled atm), camera shortcut, iOS style hidden shortcuts menu at the bottom. Aside from that I get the usual notifications pop-up and music player controls pop-up.

I am not seeing the above options in my "Lock Screen" settings. I have the option "Lock Screen and Passwords" in Settings but does not have the above options. Mate 9 USA MHA-L29. Screenshot of my options for "Lock Screen and Passwords" is attached.
Also, is there a way to change the "Screen Lock Style"? It set the Default which is "Magazine Unlock" and I cannot un-select it, nor does a different option appear.

I too see that as my only option in my lockscreen settings. I am on the US version and do not see all those other option that was mentioned above. The US version seems to be different from the International version.

No I have EU version and there no double touch unlock and simple lock screen widget. You must to unlock use power button or touch sensor. But to lock you must use only power button. Back to roots, back to buttons! I don't know why Huawei in this time use buttons!

I think that's the OP's point. He appears to have copy/pasted that from here, but those of us on the US version don't have most of those options.

EU version not have this option too.

I am coming accorss the same problem. Malaysia version, does not has twin app for wechat, nor do not have the mentioned locked screen features.
Very annoying everytime i place my phone in my pocket and it turn on the camera automatically, only notice when my pocket gets hot.
Already turn on the "touch-disable-mode" but it didn't helps at all

I don't know what you are "missing" but I like the CLEAN, mostly bloat free U.S. version of the 8, and the 9. The couple apps I didn't care for I uninstalled, and there was one or two I just disabled.

Don't have 4.2 yet but that looks really cool. Wish I could try it
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
Working like a charm though it's a pity that the notification does not get away once it's read
Anyways, awesome job, I know there's a lot of people who has been waiting to something like this :good:
try to make the UI more holo-like.. to blend in.
add a little blue/grey. but not too much background transparency.
Thanks for the feedback:
1. Notifications clear - I'm planning to implement full notifications clear when screen is unlocked, any thoughts on this?
2. Holo look - I'll raise opacity to 75% (currently it's 50%), I think this will make the gray and blue colors more noticeable.
Love it so much!
I hope it has a option that do not turn on the screen when a new notification arrives.
Thanks!:laugh:

how about creating an option to let the users decide the background opacity?
default is the original JB grey..
edit: can you also implement -> slide to remove (individual remove per app notifications)?
also i noticed your permissions are "prevent phone from sleeping"
why is it that way? means our phone wont go into deep sleep right? :S

" Slide to dismiss" is impossible to implement on lock screen widgets (or any widgets at all). Must have buttons.
The permission is needed to turn the screen on when notification arrives. The phone will act normally and will go to deep sleep if needed.
This looks very promising, especially with a Holo theme
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
This would look great with a few design changes, i.e. a more holo/4.2 look.
I hope there will be settings available to control things like opacity, which apps/notifications to show, privacy options, etc.
I wish you all the best and look forward to using your invention

oh i see.. well, a button to clear is good enough.
tried your app. looks promising.
already bookmarked your thread. checking regularly for more updates.

I would like to see the option to be able to turn off the screen on feature. I would get a lot of notifications and this I'm sure would drain the battery.

[APP] [2.3+] Gestos (Gestures)

Speed and fluency as performing actions on our devices, play an
important role. Gestures is born of those needs providing the users the
facility to access to different functions by drawing a simple gesture on the
screen.
Gestures has its own lock screen, which is optional. This provides a huge
speed performing any action, with no need to unlock the device.
Gestures allows us to:
- Call a contact.
- Run an application.
- Enable / Disable: Wifi, Bluetooth, Sound, GPS, Airplane Mode
- Access to a Website.
- Run system options.
- Lock / Unlock Device
- Access multimedia functions: Camera, Gallery
As far as configuration is concerned, Gestures can:
- Be activated by double touch on the home screen.
- Lock screen gestures sensitive alternative.
- Permanent Notification toggling the floating button (overlay)
- Adjust the sensitivity.
- Position the floating button
The steps are three:
1. Locate the desired option from the menu and access it.
2. Press the option and draw a gesture. (Once saved it appears in
your list).
3. Access to the gestures processor by the overlay, the double
touch option on the screen (home) or the lock screen, drawing the
gesture right there.

Interesting.. I'll try this soon.

Wow. I'm impressed. I configured a couple gestures and they worked flawlessly.
I am using my tablet and the activation in the corner works great.
On my phone I feel this will be more difficult. Is it possible to create it as an action so that I can use another app to launch the gesture area?

The wiget is fully functional, at least for mobile. And think that covers your needs.
And if not, sorry. but the only way to launch Gestures at the moment are: double touch on home screen, the widget and the floating button.

Could you make launching gestures an activity in the main application? Or can you make the application create a second shortcut to launch it rather than use the widget?
I know it's possible, I just don't know how.
I would really like to use GMD to activate this app, once I can do that I can use this all the time.

Ok, i understand you. At this time it is not possible because the application needs a small initialization between activities. But what I have in mind and can be a feature.
If you have any other suggestions ...
If you want to support the project dont forget to rate Gestos and give us some feedback .
Great app! It works perfectly, and I especially like the lockscreen gestures (which I've been badly missing ever since I upgraded from CyanogenMod 7 to CM10.1). :good:
Feature requests:
It would be nice to have some configuration options for the custom lockscreen. (I don't really like the clock, for example; is there a way to disable that?)
Even better, it would be awesome if you could add a lockscreen widget for Android 4.2+, so we can use gestures on the stock lockscreen! Please? Pretty please?
A paid add-free version would be nice too. I'd happily pay for the app, especially if it had better lockscreen options!

No support for android L? not locking any app
I help you
Hi!!!
This is an amazing app!!
1st: I want a promocode to get the full app
2nd: I want to help you to translate into Spanish (my native language) (obiously for free).
I will be waiting...
Thank you!!!
Great app.
1. I would suggest for Relock Policy to add the option: Lock when screen is off
2. a transparent theme would be nice showing once own wallpaper behind the lock screen
3. Third eye takes pictures but does not send them to the email address
4. Android System is locked. i.e. I try to open a YouTube link but have no default app, so first I have to unlock Android System in order to choose an app to open the link. Can't find a way to switch that off, it's a bit annoying
5. Could you add a dark theme for the app
6. Also I would use color to show that an app is selected to be locked. I have showed your app to several people and most agreed it's not always clear whether the lock is inactive (grey) or active (black).
PS still waiting for Promo Code

Hi, thanks for liking my app. After enabling the advanced protection, the app is virtually impossible to get through. Although a user has reported a bug which needs to be fixed to increase the security (which is in progress), i feel it is safe to say that AppLockZilla is quite strong on security.

Hi. I will go straight to the point. This app needs a lot of work. I don't mean any bad publicity or any mean comment or anything like that. But from what I have seen in my experience with my phone, it is easy to go around the app and get to the locked app. I have "long press back to kill" enabled in my developer options. When I launch a presumed locked app, I just have to long press my back button and it kills the lock of your AppLockZilla and the locked app launches like there was nothing to lock at all.
My previous app lock didn't have this security breach so I quickly went back to it.
You have to fix it very quickly enough because now that some people know it, things can happen. Sorry.
Brilliant. One question, is there a way to disable to lock on "Android System"? Every time I need to select an app to complete an action I have to input my code

Another problem I have found, is that the it keeps the phone awake alot. BetterBatteryStats shows it has caused 98% of the wakeup alarms. So had to uninstall for now because that was using alot of battery. Its a shame because I really like the app, will use again when its fixed
Trully inovative features! I'm gonna take this for a spin! Thanks!

Alright. Cool! It is a good app BTW. I really liked the knock code like feature that it has l like the LG G3 (Tap lock). It was this feature I was using when I found the bug.
The app lock app I'm using right now is called Droid Protector by @1tek. It is really simplistic, but when I tried your app I liked it and its features until I found the bug. So I went back to the previous one.
Hope I helped!

I really like the media vault, two things to that.
1st is it possible to have/make "folders" or "categories" in the vault? So that I can sort them?
2nd I was not sure at first how to select a picture or video, even though (after reading the FAQ - which is great that's included in the app) it's obvious that long pressing would work. I was looking for little check fields in the pics and vids. Long pressing is better, maybe you can make a pop-up or write it on the background of the vault. "Long press file/picture/video to select"
I also think that a file vault would be a great idea.

Hi, i don't know about EMUI 4.0 but i'm using Nova Launcher Beta under EMUI 5.0, i did'nt find any other solution.
It might be hidden and accessible with root access, but it's not a stock feature on the Mate 9.

and unlock screen with fingerprint not before 10/15 sec, i don't know why there is a latence of 10/15 secondes.
When double tapping it asked me if i wanted to give Nova Launcher admin rights, i said no, since if you authorize admin rights you won't be able to use fingerprint for unlocking.
Nova developer Kevin answered to me about this and said that this is a known issue and for the time being there is a work around only for those who are rooted.
So imo it's only a matter of time to get it fixed.
But Kevin is proposing that if we go to Google Play Store and purchase "Screen Lock Pro" we can use it as a work around, i did it and within Nova settings Gestures instead to make "lock screen" action as a result of double tap you ask to launch "Screen Lock Pro", but i wasn't satisfied with the result so i went back to the latence of 10/15 secondes that doesn't annoy me.
But i found that during this 10/15 seconds navigation icons at the bottom of the screen are still visible and if you tap the square one when it is visible you can come back to the unlocked screen, if you wait for the delay of 10/15 secondes you'll have to unlock with the fingerprint which is good.
I don't know if my explanations are clears but using it is very easy, very fast and very safe, good luck.

What's Huawei GX8 MM_6.0.1 ? is it a Mate 9 ?
Huawei G8 or GX8 is an another model phone with Marsmallow 6.0.1 EMUI 4.0

On this model phone, when Double Tap is enable, I can see clock without using Power button.
I just want to do that with Double Tap on Mate 9.
It's unfortunate that EMUI 5 doesn't offer this possibility
Tried to find a way... Doesn't work. At least I can't find a way to turn the screen ON when the screen is turned off and the phone locked.

I'm using "Nova Launcher Licence" which is called "Nova Launcher Prime" (5,25 €) on Google Play store, does it make the difference, i believe that it should offer more possibilities.
Yeap it does, here under are the description on Google Play for Nova Launcher Prime :
Nova Launcher Prime
Unlock the following extras by purchasing Nova Launcher Prime
• Gestures - Swipe, pinch, double tap and more on the home screen to open your favorite apps
• Unread Counts - Never miss a message. Unread count badges for Hangouts, SMS, Gmail and more using the TeslaUnread plugin
• Custom Drawer Groups - Create new tabs or folders in the app drawer
• Hide Apps - Keep a clean app drawer by hiding never used apps
• Icon Swipes - Set custom actions for swiping on app shortcuts or folders
• More scroll effects - Such as Wipe, Accordion, and Throw
Nova Launcher Prime acts as a license to unlock these features in the free Nova Launcher App. You will need to install Nova Launcher first.

Agreed... but the double tap isn't working on my side to turn the screen on when the phone is off or locked it. Is it working for you? If yes, please provide me how you did that... as it only works to shut the screen off for me.
Thnx!
PS: i have the license (been using Nova for over 2 years now) and also in the Beta.
The launcher can't wake your device from sleep. The double tap actions in Nova are for when you're interacting with the launcher eg. on your home screen.

No it doesn't work this way and for me it's better like this, allowing turning the screen on with double tap is allowing anybody to access to your mobile, i personaly doesn't find too hard to unlock with fingerprint, even when the mobile is sitting on the desk.

Ok thats what i thought. turning on the screen with double tap on your desk doesn't let people access your phone when locked just let's you input your pin or pattern faster, instead of picking it up. It's really a little detail for comfort on my side as my phone is most of the time in front of me on my desk.
Thanks anyhow.

Live Wallpaper in Lock Screen on EMUI 5 (Nougat)?

When I first got my Honor 8 in November 2016, when it was running Marshmallow, I was able to use Muzei Live Wallpaper for both desktop and lock screen. This looked great and made the whole experience seemless.
After signing up and downloading the update to EMUI 5 through the BETA scheme, that option had disappeared and I was stuck with pics from the gallery or the Magazine Unlock as backgrounds to my Lockscreen. I had logged this as a bug through the beta program, hoping that it would be sorted out before the final release. After updating to the final release for EMUI 5, it seems that the option is still missing, OR am I not seeing where to go to set it?
It now just looks dis-jointed having different pics on display after I unlock the phone, or worse, going from a static picture to a different live wallpaper that might have movement.
Is anyone else able to have a live wallpaper on their lockscreen as well as their desktop?
I can set live wallpaper on desktop, but not lockscreen.

Same as me then...
Sorry but having a live wallpaper as lock screen is not possible on any huawei device if you are not using a third party lock screen app.

You can on Marshmallow with the Honor 8. You just have to set the lockscreen to match the homescreen.

Was about to comment the same. It's just a shame that the option has now been lost in the move to Nougat. Maybe it will come back later...

Maybe an upgrade will bring it back
Would be nice to have this functionality back.
I found out that it's switching in lock screen. You need pull bottom shutter and press left "play" button and uncheck "favorite" center button.

This allows only to swipe the magasine's content...isn't it ? (just tried, if a "live wallpaper setting" is somewhere, haven't found it)
