Step counting on auto, how to turn off?

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".

Maybe you have already removed it ?
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.

Interesting. So this is a new feature Huawei installed onto Nougat?

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.

What I can confirm is, the huawei health isn't present in MM on FRD-L04 (US version)

Report the high battery usage in the feedback from the hicare app.

i can't be the only one that took this screenshot after updating to nougat. we should report this so that they release a patch to fix it.

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.

Has anyone else got the January update? Nobody's been talking about any changes...

I got this a couple of days ago but have seen no mention of it on this forum. It only seems like a security patch though.
EDIT: This was received in the UK

This too has been suspended.. Hope they'll b able to release a bug free os when they finally do..

I have been saying that same thing for a long time.

If you are going to be snarky about an existing thread, you could at least post a link to it! This one came up on the search when I started to post a new topic suggesting it was similar to my question.
Here's the question I was going to post, but will post it here instead so there is "not open 100 same threads over and over". (since there was no link to the original post that was about this update and it didn't show up on the suggestions)
I received the first Oreo update on 03-Jan-18: Oreo 8.0.0, Security Patch level December 1, 2017
My understanding is that Xiaomi has started rolling out the second Oreo update that fixes a number of problems in the first release, but I have yet to get it. We own two A1's, and my wife's A1 has yet to get either Oreo update and mine has not received a January security patch or the latest Oreo update.
I'm just wondering if any of you who got the original Oreo update has received the latest one?
Regards,
--KB

Just received it, in India

Fingerprint is faster than before.

Thanks Androidman720. Does it show as a January security level? Maybe it will make its way to Thailand before the end of the month. I'm hoping so.

EDIT: Right after I posted this, it arrived on my phone! Now I just have to decide if I really want to apply it. With all the issues reported, I am not sure. The first update seems to work well for me: no camera lag to speak of (1 sec), notifications work properly as far as I can tell, etc. The only downside is a 'quieter' audio output, so not sure about rolling the dice and applying the upgrade. Will wait a few days to see what others experience.
EDIT 2:
I went ahead and did the update. Sound seems to have changed again. I went into my music app and changed the EQ to Flat and the sound was much better. I did not hear any hissing, even with classical music, but old ears may be the issue there. I don't use BT unless needed, so cannot address that issue. So far, notifications and icons all seem to work as they should. Camera app is unchanged at ~1 second from press of camera icon to ready. Fingerprint reader seems to have gotten faster, though it was no slouch (compared to my iPad) before. So far, battery usage is what I consider normal, but I don't use the phone for a lot of high drain things like watching videos or playing games. My battery easily lasts 2 to 3 days and is what I consider normal. If this changes with the new update, I will update this post.

The update was pulled due to a game booster issue which caused games to appear as a black screen. I'm sure they will fix it and re-release the update soon.

Damn... Is it working now? Any fix you found? My game booster isn't working like most people who updated, but at least the games are working after reseting Game booster.

I uninstalled the updates on YouTube and my WiFi started working. I then went on YouTube and updated it. All is good again. Phone appears to work much better and battery life is improved ?

Anyone have the OTA file?

Bueller? This HAS to be out there somewhere for U.S. users for RP1....??

My Camera APP crashes all the time now after the update. What Gives??? Is this purely a 9 thing or did Razer fix the Game Booster, and break the Camera APP???

Turn off do not disturb

Working fine on mine

Update downloads then almost instantly goes to "Installation Failed". Currently on 8.1 MR2 factory image. Phone is not rooted, firewalled, or anything and there is plenty of space left on the device. Razer support is scratching their heads for the past week.

The update is still very buggy, and lags a bunch of times....so sad, I think I am going back to my RoG Phone now that PIE has been released.

new update with november 2019 security patch.

the factory images for the december update are in the factory images site, but the links are down

3rd update 132 just arrived!

This is why I prefer the Chinese version. Excellent. I'll post my thoughts.
And I'll see if this affects Google and closes the new method of installing it. Or better, allows a simple Google play store install now that Trump might be easing up on the ban

Global version is releasing new build upon launch by end of the month. So I think they are about the same

That's good then! Release notes available? Impressive start by Huawei even though under pressure
Accubattery stating lower power consumption, but I'll wait to see if that's real

No release note since it is not official launch yet in my country till next week

Fwiw upgraded without any issues, Google play still working fine.

4th update lol. Patch 1 for 132 arrives. Every couple of days now?
I'm not complaining

Still on .125 patch3 on my LIO-AL00 imported from China - are you guys doing anything differently to get the .132 update such as using a VPN? I've tried that and using HiSuite but it still says no available updates.

I've always thought that was bloatware so that was one of the apps I disabled instantly the moment I got my Mate 30 Pro. I'll keep it going forward and will use that to check for updates instead now.
