Error to read Bar code - Huawei P20 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I bought a P20 few days ago and it's perfect except for.... it dos not read QR/Bar code in Banks apps... I posted it in some Facebook groups and other people expressed the same problem... pls, someone know what happens?

I have this issue in google pay app. Camera doesnt recognise bar codes when scanning loyality cards.
But no one confirmed me this issue till now. Thanks. This is the next thing arter VLC, Asphalt that doesnt work in huawei phones
And i checked on my friends huawei p20 lite that hers phone recognise barcodes.
What rom do you have?

I'm using the original EMUI 8.1.0 (EML-L29 8.1.0.130(C605).
It's a big inconvenient... once every time that i need to pay something i need to type all the barcode
I heard that Huawei will sell smartphones here in Brazil on the next quarter... here we use a lot this barcode function inside bank's apps... so, i thing that it need to be fixed fast...
Tks for your attention my friend.

Only Local Themes?

Since I bought my Mate 8 L29 model, I can only get "Local themes".
When I had mate 7, with Lolilop ROM, on "Theme" app I was able to download other themes, organized by "category", "Most relevante", etc...
Is there any reason for this? Or, can we do anything to get download function back to mate 8?
Thanks
I have all the other theme options (L29 EU)...

I never had even with initial stock rom. (now I am on Kangvip rom).
you have to be registered with Huawei ID, right?
which is your country of registation?
On Mate 7, I could se all the options but to be able to download I usedchange locale app and registered ID as being on USA or China and it worked. But on Mate 8 i can't even see the other options...

Thanks for you comments

I verified a 3Gb/32Gb model in a shop, a few hours ago, and it also only displays Local Themes. I wonder if this is some restriction introduced for some countries...?
Do you have a valid Google Play account on the phone?
Do you have Internet access?

Yes, I have
The point is:
Previously on Mate 7 i could see the menu with all options, but when trying to download I was redirected to Huawei Cloud registration, and that service is not available in Portugal. Therefore, I used an app named change locale and pretended to be in a country where that service was available (US or RPC), and after logging in on cloud service I restore location in Portugal
Now, with mate 8 that menu simply is not displayed!! I donĀ“t have other options rather than Local Themes. today I picked up a phone of your model (3gb/32gb) (on a Media Markt store) and the menu was the same as mine
I also confirmed with my previous mate 7, yesterday, and the "all options menu" is not available anymore. So I think maybe there are some restrictions in my Country, and pretending to be in another country does not work anymore
It's something really strange...
You're the first to refer this problem and anyway Portugal is a true EU country, never heard about being restricted or blacklisted by somebody in some field...
Have you tried changing the language to some else?

I think problem is not ROM version, but any Type of Country police, because either the mate 8 o sal today on store and my former mate 7 have original Eu roms and only show local themes
You have to log in (create ID if you don't have ) to huawei ID then you will see all available themes, also the phone must be on Internet with sim card inserted.

I will go through that process again, but I think that huawei found a way to de-activate false "locations". when I login on web there is no problem. But when I try to login from mobile, message I get is that SIM card is not compatible, or something like that, because Huawei cloud service is not available worldwide. This is why I used to fake location to US or China, but that is not working anymore

I have just checked all huawei models on sale on MediaMarkt store, and now Themes app only displays "My Themes" option
Finally I got it!! ( by accident, as usual )
Whe I fresh flashed last B168 KangVip ROM I noticed that all theme options where available. But just after I configured some K-setting those options disapeared again!
Then I tried and found that in order to keep all options menu (on theme app) I had to keep Lunar calendar on (desktop and lockscreen settings). Desktop weather lunar can be switched off.
The only problem is that some chinese caracters are displayd above lockscreen clock.
Solution: switch lunar calendar off, to get rid of chinese caracters on day to day use, and switch it on only when you want to check some new themes!
Mine at first only show the local themes but today I can see all the new features there.
Is it related with the external storage? Because I have just inserted new MicroSD in.

the behaviour of themes app is really strange. Mine works with full options only if I leave lunar calendar selected
I only see the local themes on my phone. I am on international version (L29). How do I login with Huawei ID? I was never asked to create the ID during setup.

[Discussion] Hey Huawei give us Double tap to wake the screen!

Yesterday even Google added this feature to their Pixel phones.. It's kinda shame that older phones had this, but they removed it on P9 and Mate 9... I am really tired of looking for the power button every time or having to pick up my phone and unlock it with the fingerprint... If you are tired too, please write on their facebook page Facebook Page here to bring it back to P9 with an update or write at their customer service Contact form to email them here on Product & Technical Support - Recommendation - Interface... More people requesting, bigger chance to get it
P.S: Would be happy even with Raise to wake up the screen... Still better than nothing...

Why we should install a separate app that's not that optimized and have one app more taking place, when they can work on it and do it the right way?
P.S: See the title. "Huawei bring DTW" not "Is there any alternative to dtw". Still you can do us a favor and report it..
Was surprised that they removed it. It exists on p8 lite ?

Smart Controller IR App on Mate 9 - Is it really there?

In the English USER manual for the Mate 9, there is a section describing the SMART CONTROLLER ir remote controller application and how to use it. Its quite clear that for my Mate 9 that this application is NO WHERE to be found. I have this model: (6GB/128 GB Model MHA-AL00 / Build Number: MHA-AL00 C00B137). I have the 2 SIM version sold by a HK seller on eBay.
I was able to find and load the SMART CONTROLLER ir application (apk) for the Huawei P9 from another Huawei site online. There were a couple "wrong version for your device" messages during the install, but the app loaded and seems to function normally.
My questions...
- Has anyone else had this issue?
- Is there a version of this program specific for the Mate 9 I could get my hands on?
- What are others recommending as far as a ir remote control application?
Thanks to all.

I'm using the same version as you and I have the app ir remote control.... It's working good but the learning function doesn't work almost all the time.... So don't worry download Anymote ir remote control and you will be very happy...
But you have to know that YES there is an app for ir remote
I think you can download it from Hiapp too if someone gives you the specific name from hiapp manage category... I can because I have deleted it
Thank you!

Thank you for the great tips!
Seems like the after market remote control apps are a better bet!
By the way...do you have the options to do WiFi calling on your phone? In the English manual its says its there, but its not present on my build.

I have never use WiFi call so if there is one I wouldn't know how to do it.... So ask someone else....
I personally disagree that a different IR app is better. The learning function doesn't work very well, but once you get it working, you can have it control anything. I've got my Mate 9 controlling my lighting, my TV (it's a strange brand so none of the apps know the codes for it, so I needed to use the learning function) and my air conditioner. It's pretty great.

Why to get tired trying and trying... You delete this app and you install Anymote with learning function that works great
Is Anymote able to learn? Trying the free version, but it's telling me learning is not supported on my Porche Design Mate 9. Or do you mean Anymote Home?
The built-in IR app is working decently anyways, I just programmed it to control my pretty much unknown room Ventilator/Light and it seems to work just fine, first time I'm able to get a phone to control it, never found it in any app's database. Not the most fancy or flexible thing I've ever seen, but it gets the job done. As long as your real remote is sending a decent signal, it looks like the learning is pretty consistent.

I guess that a full system reset would restore all those preinstalled apps, I know this is a pain in the ... but it may be your only choice.

MHA-AL00 notification problem and flash to L29

Hi all:
I got my hand set yesterday, it is 6/128 version regular mate 9 that only available in china. this is an amazing device but as it is running no ML00, it has some problems. biggest problem is i can't get notification for my facebook, EMAIL, twitter, messenger, linked in...... facebook messenger don't even get the pop up!
I installed GMS and all the google framework, enable the battery saving ignorance, keep network switch on when standing by and enable notification bar but still no luck, I even lock the app open in background, i still having some problems......
so i think the only way to fix the problem is flash it to ML29, my questions are:
1. what's the best way to flash?
2. does international version compatible with 6/128 version mate 9 (NOT the pro)
3. does international version can fix the problem?
4. i read another thread, mate 9 have some problem with 3rd party launcher, nova launcher can't display notifications, has this problem fixed?
5. can i keep receive update?
cheers!

EMUI 10.1.0.135 beta on EVR_AL00

It's my second time I've finally broken through all obstacles of the Chinese language and managed to subscribe for EMUI 10.1 beta. And it was worth it.
That was yesterday and today I received the shiny new beta update. As usual after installation, I firstly transform the appearance into pure Android (in my opinion there is no such flexible launcher as EMUI when you get the hang of it).
After adaptation, I started to explore my brand new device. It's a lot to try, I'm attaching some pictures for the first impression.
For those who want to try it, there is still time to catch the train. It's only for the Chinese model, you must install Huawei Club app from Huawei app store and crawl through Chinese instructions. Good luck.
Thanks

Can you put instructions? I can't find anything in the Huawei Club app
Click to expand...

Ok. Please don't be upset if the last part wouldn't be exactly accurate. The result is to be achieved by trial and error. It's hard to reproduce the exact procedure in Chinese and there are different highlighted links all lead to the final result. Below you have marked some of those links.
What is important:
You must be registered by Huawei as Chinese (you can switch this later back).
No Chinese sim is needed but you have to register your phone number for verification purposes.
You must be on 10.0.200 (if you are not, separate instruction is available for the upgrade).
You must download Huawei club app from Huawei store. Sooner or later you must register yourself with this club.
Follow beta application steps as you can see below. As I mentioned before there might be some errors incorporated and you can get to the same result from a different sequence of steps.
You'll be informed when you succeed. And soon after your beta license is going to appear in system upgrade settings.

Theme is dark IOS from here:

customized and with sans fonts.
the icon pack is:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.materialthings
it's a paid version but I think that the free will do as well:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.natewren.materialfree
and the whole point is in limitless customization enabled with:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.themeeditor
how you activate google assistant???
I've always had Google Assistant. Installed it from GPS. Only I can't use a hotword from any screen, I have to either open the Assistant or use it in Android auto. That's good enough for me.
And Huawei strict battery policy kills it now and then and I must open it again.
Is it resolved sound problems.

What is a low volume? Volume on the loudspeakers is just below the distortion level and the sound is good as it could be on the phone.
Volume on my wired earphones goes to the limit of the sustainable level.
On Bluetooth, earpieces are just loud enough but I guess that the loudness depends on the Bluetooth device a lot.
And yes, Dolby is active.
Besides, what I noticed so far is that 2 Google apps sometimes lags significantly after upgrade: Google and Gplay store. assistant with Android auto works flawlessly though.
And the camera is completely renewed. New functionality, new possibilities, better menu, similar to the new Huawei phones. I haven't had a chance to really try it yet.
Every on on internet sying that android 10 dystroyed the sound of the phone?
There is no bass
Low volume means decreased loudness of the phone
Bluetooth is a little messed on 10.1. my Sony mx buds cut in and out sometimes

Hello. What is your model number? And in what region do you have your Huawei ID? In my case I have the EVR-AL00 and the region I used was China for the process. Also I had debloated the phone but reverted it back to clean stock for the process (because I removed some stuff that didn't let me get the beta profile). Btw, I don't think the region matter because now with my country region I can do the steps and everything goes well as I posted. If you want I can make a screen recording showing. Let me know.
After signup just need join the beta programme. Click that white box witj chinese for joining beta and downloading beta profile.
