Yeah, already contacted the support team and no response so far. Very annoying!
Well, one thing this reminds me of is a more polished rom'd phone. Even with a Nexus 6 the software had some bugs just because software got pushed out so fast.
I played around and for sure it's the launcher, if you install Nova launcher the home button can be configured to work as you describe. The only thing about THAT is no swipe to open google now (which I usually configure to be double tap on the background). Though I'm sticking with the default Launcher3 for now.

Have you checked out the Nova Google Companion app? It adds the ability to swipe from the left to access Google now while using Nova Launcher.

^^This - I have this configured in Nova now and it works great.
Try a factory reset without installing any apps during setup. Try the blank slate route. It may be an app that isn't playing well with the last update. If it doesn't work you can always reset and install you apps from backup.
I ended up doing nova with the google companion.
I did not try to reset again to see if it was an app I installed (I do not have many). It has to be a bug with the launcher. What they probably should do is break out the launcher as a separate app for them to be able to update as an app instead of requiring a system update.
With that done that should be it, now that the camera and whitelist app are depreciated.
Same issue here. I've tried to factory reset but it hasn't worked for me. I don't feel like rooting the phone either to fix something that a phone that costs $700 should get correct out of the box...

You don't have to root it to use Nova, nor do you have to root do to the companion to get the now integration. All you have to do is sideload the now companion... not sure about how updates work though.
Anyway, at some point this was fixed in the default launcher. I got a RMA phone due to the speaker grill issue, and noticed it worked. Then went back and tried it on my original phone and it was good there too.

After unlocking my phone, I get to my home screen with all my folders etc. As soon as I swipe to the right, I get Google Now!
It's as if it's an always on widget. On my N4, I would invoke Google Now by holding the Home key and swiping upwards (which I can also do with my N5).
Is this something that can be switched off or is this an integrated function of the system?
I'm not looking to switch off Google Now before anybody asks.

As far as I can see the only option would be to either A) Uninstall Google Now, or B) Install a different Home Launcher ... Neither are suitable resolutions to your question. I personally like having it as a home screen since I turned off my softkeys in Lieu of LMS
The only thing I can think of is switch launchers to nova or something similar. You would lose the "OK Google" function from the launcher though., so not a good solution if you use that function. As far as I know there is now way to remove it from the stock launcher.

I don't mind having it but just wasn't sure if it was a feature that can be turned off without completely disabling Google Now.
Battery life is quite impressive on this thing even with it always on!

It does not disable Google now entirely just the extra screen, maybe you should try it before you respond with useless replies.

Hello everyone
Yesterday Nova Launcher 5.0 has arrived and comes with pixel like swipe to open drawer and dock backgrounds to draw under navbar.
When I apply to draw under navbar first it works then when I use the navbar it switches back to black background? I hope you understand what I am saying
Can Anyone who tried the new Nova Launcher help me please?
It only works on the home screen
I know that. it was black background at the home screen too. But I solved the problem you need to turn on the transparent notification bar. Now it looks as it should be
Thank you though
Anyone using Nova 5 on B320? Each time I set Nova as the default launcher and press the home button it reverts back to EMUI and I get the Smart Recovery message telling me my phone has recovered from a serious error caused by Nova. Anyone know of a fix?

Set Nova as your default launcher.
Black background or u got the stock launcher again ? if u got back to stock then set default if u got black background might be an issue with the app update .
Reverts back to the stock launcher. As for disabling Huawei Home it isn't listed under Apps so how to disable?

Maybe something to do with the fact I'm running beta firmware. I've emailed the developer to see if they can can up with anything. Thanks all for your input.

not related to beta or any thing just try to reinstall i download the nova 5 and was awesome ! ...
Hi all, was there ever a solution to this? Using an honor 6x and experiencing same issue. I downloaded and set Nova launcher as default. Works for a while only to revert to home launcher after a warning message "smart recovery- device recovered from a serious failure...".
Previously i had disabled the home launcher and it rendered my device useless until I restored a backup through twrp...
Forces me to uninstall and reinstall Nova to be able to use it.
However this time around I hid Huawei home launcher in magisk and it seemed to last longer without the warning.
Updated to Pie. The split screen option is not in the menu no matter what app I try it with. I've checked every place I could think of in Good Lock, Nova Launcher & Samsung settings & can't find anything that would be preventing it. I even tried under Samsung Launcher & had the same result. If anyone has any ideas, please share.

If you have a specific app that you need to use in Multu-window with YouTube, you can also use the apps edge panel to open the pair simultaneously.

I tried a few things but couldn't replicate what you are experiencing. Are you running Good Lock? I know it has a feature that modifies multi window, but I don't know if it would cause the issue you have.
Did you take the ota directly from the carrier? Or did you flash the new pie update? Mine came from the carrier last Thursday. Today, I backed up everything and did a factory reset and it feels like it's running smoother. Maybe that could fix your issue.
Turns out it was a bug in Good Lock's Multistar. They pushed an update last night that fixed the problem for me. Thanks to all for trying to help.
Anyone install it yet ? Experiences ?

Installing now
Seems fine on my PH1 but then I never seem to have all the weird issues others have. Stock unrooted.
Maybe a placebo, but I've noticed a marked improvement in touch and scrolling.
Edit: I've had it running the latest beta for. 12 hours, and have noticed the standby battery drain is much improved for me compared to previous betas.
Also feel faster so far. When I was travelling with maps and play music on it got painfully slow, hanging all the time. Now it looks better. But banking app still not working :/ not sure how I'm going to get it working.

My beta 4 has been working flawlessly besides the screen studder when I swipe home from within EVERY app. Getting great battery life, 6.5hr+ on screen time with every charge, with 4hrs+ of them being streaming videos. If I don't watch videos, this phone will easily last at least 3.5-4 days. All this at 60% screen brightness.
With that said, I'd hate to install beta 5 and have new issues and worse battery life.
Beta 5 has been good for me. Good battery life about as good as beta 4 was but the only issue I have is even after going full gesture navigation. It seems to go back to 3 button mode randomly and I'll have to change it back. Also I don't see the option to enable the side peek feature that was supposed to be a part of beta 5

Are you using the stock launcher? Supposedly Google added a "feature" that blocks you from using full gestures if you're using a 3rd party launcher on beta 5.

Hmm na I'm currently using rootless pixel launcher because in beta 4 on quickstep with dark theme the app drawer apps had white letters on white background unless you changed your wallpaper to a dark one.
So your saying if I use the quickstep I can also enable the peek feature?

I'm not sure about the peek feature (to be honest I don't know what that is), what I was getting at was about the navigation reverting to 3 button. If you're using something other than stock launcher, it's supposed to force you to use the 3 button navigation according to Google, so that might be why you're seeing that behavior.
Also, beta 5 fixed the dark theme issue.
Edit: Peek is working.

I didn't have to enable anything, it was just working. I had full gestures as my default when I flashed, and I didn't change anything after that. Looked in settings as well, no option there. I'm assuming it should be on by default.
If you're having trouble with it, disable grip rejection, that could be conflicting with it.

Hey guys,
I never tried on Pie so I'm not sure if the problem happened there as well but after adding my fingerprints when I go to unlock, my fingerprints don't do anything. No errors or anything either.
The sensor detects them perfectly however when setting them up. I still have to use my pin. I'm on Android 10 international btw and T-mobile variant.
It started to work when I was outside so I'm guessing it's a brightness issue?
Anyone? It randomly works then doesn't. However it works perfectly everytime in apps. Just not to unlock my phone.
That is strange. Personally I would try to change my pin to a pattern to unlock and see if the fingerprints work for unlocking the phone. Try to delete and redo all the fingerprints. I know it is a pain because you will have to reset up all your apps that use fingerprints but I would try random various configurations until it works the way it should. Last resort is a factory reset. UGH.

Thanks I appreciate the reply! I'll give all of those a shot even if I have to factory reset which would suck.
*edit* tried all that besides factory reset and still not luck. Really weird. As this only happens in Ambient display and lock screen. Apps that use it work everytime.
If data reset does not cange anything, try unbrick tool. It seems like the problem with soft. Unbrick tool return your phone to factory state.

No problem glad to help for once and I would as well but so far I've haven't been able to find one. I never tried turning off double tap to lock screen in Nova maybe that would work? I needed that feature though.
