I went to the AT&T store today to check out the device and I noticed that settings menu is TABBED instead of the the usual list that scrolls down as I am used to. I assumed there would be an option to change it and looked everywhere but could not find a way to change it. This really annoys me why would AT&T change the layout of the settings menu it doesn't make sense. Could someone with the AT&T s6 model confirm that the tabbed menu really is the only option?
Edit: added screenshots
Left is normal, right is tabbed
can any one expalon how it work

I am not completely clear what you are asking but basically its two different ways that the settings option is being organized. The normal version that is on every variant as far as I know except ATT is the list view where the each settings are listing as a list that you scroll down. The AT&T way is to list the settings option whithin sub groups that you view as "tabs" you can switch between tabs by swiping right. take a look at the screenshot.
I think he's basically asking why does At&t have to screw around with everything from locking down the boot loader to how the menu is they can't leave well enough along.
Yeah. I'm getting real tired of AT&T
Just buy the unlocked version and be done with it. AT&T isn't going to change until they start losing sales over crap like this. Put your money where your mouth is.
Everyone has mentioned that simple sharing IS in the Verizon variant, however it's not available on mine. Or Perhaps I disabled something without knowing it. But does anyone else have this issue? Heres a screenshot of my share page. Also, profiling sharing.... was that axed too?
Sharing photo: http://i.imgur.com/j0DM14G.png
Having just read one of the many stories about what various carriers do and do not remove from the S6 phone, I noticed that the claim is that Verizon did not remove the "Simple Sharing" feature - while some other carriers apparently did.
However, my attempts to find it have resulted in pretty much the exact same screen you posted.
If the indicator that "Simple Sharing" is available is denoted by the contacts icon appearing in the share-list (from, say, the My Files or Gallery apps) then I'd have to say we (well, at least I) don't have it.
I regret thoughtlessly letting my ES File Explorer update whenever it wanted. The newer versions seem to have a lot of problems with updating the screen and are, in general, sluggish on my NST.
I currently have version 3.2.5.1. Does anyone have an older version on hand?

The version I am currently using (attached) I've had for at least a year, and it has never failed me. Unfortunately, I can't tell you what the version is, since I'm using your framework-res mod and the gray text blends in with the gray background
Hope this helps!
To my aging bi-focal enhanced vision that is version 3.0.9.0. It would likely be completely unreadable without the framework mod.
Thanks a bunch. It's much better behaved. No more updates on that one!

Glad to be of assistance. Don't forget that you can turn off Auto-Update by navigating [Quick Access Menu > Settings > Update settings > Uncheck "Auto check"]. That way, you aren't ever "tempted" to update to the next version
ИΘΘK¡€, is that version working properly when you choose "view" button on the bottom of the screen? Every version I have tried to this point crashed when I tried to change the view,

It's very odd. It almost never works, but once in a blue moon, I'll try it, and it functions correctly. I've just resorted to ignoring it and using the "swipe to the left or right" function to change the view.
I am not sure that we are thinking about the same thing. I'll try to explain. In default mode when brosing directories I see an icon grid with very limited space for filenames. It is irritating when I try to choose the correct one from whole bunch of similar named ones, when the differencr is at the end of their file name, which is shortened/hidden. I want to change the vie mode from grid to list or something similar that would allow the filenames to be displayed fully. Do you have any solution for this? (Now I switch to Root Browser when I really need the list view, but that is quite an inconveniance)

Oh - pardon my mistake, there, I had forgotten what the view button actually did!
I do know to what you're referring, but I can't say that I know of a way to do that at the moment. However, I'm doing some research and experimentation to see f I can find out either an alternate way to switch views or a way to fix the f/c hitting "View" gives us. I'll keep you posted.
Not sure why I didn't find this the first time I went looking, but here is a place with many older versions of the app. Scroll down the page until you get to "previous versions" then hit the "view more" button.
I tried the earliest v. 3.x and it still produced the crash on "view"--something I had never noticed before with whatever version I originally had. Probably I never tried it.
The last 1.6x version (1.6.2.3) is stylistically a little different but has the (crashless) option to change from icons to list format AND the settings menu system is like the native B&N settings menu (yay!), i.e., you can read it easily.
Not sure about all other capabilities, but I'm easy on what I ask it to do. I use Root Browser for the heavy duty stuff.
Thanks, guys (sorry for the delay)!
Thanks - the newer version does work, but requires a lot of patience until screens are displayed correctly. I was always wondering why eStrongs still pushes updates to 2.1 devices that are too memory hungry to run properly - but here we go.
another reason to love this old version
I went to do some file cleanup this morning and made the discovery seen in the attached screen image: -)
No similar behavior on current market versions.
Here are a few that I've seen demos on but could not get to work on my North American (Rogers) Huawei Mate20 Pro. Publish other features confirmed not working.
Build Number: 9.0.0.146(C792E15R1P17)
- Hivision. This feature covers the missing "eye" logo from the camera app, dragging up from the bottom corner of the screen to launch Hivoice and Hivision, the missing "eye" beside the search bar found after dragging down (in Gesture mode) to open the device search and the two finger press action to identify "on screen" objects. Hivision not available was
- Magazine Unlock: The ability to use and configure the Magazine Unlock features on the phone. you should be able to select through a list of feeds that get displayed in your personal "Magazine". The feature is supposed to be available under: Settings > Security & privacy > Screen lock & passwords > Lock screen style, and select the default Magazine unlock style.
- 3D Live Maker - You may be able to find this in the Google Play store. I did. It's called "3D Live Maker" - developer contact is [email protected]

Quote from Huawei Support Chat:
Me: the phone help system suggest that I can use Hivision to identify items on my phone's display, but when I try the feature (by two finger pressing on a website for example, as described, I get a system message saying "Install HiVision to access this service"
Support: Yes, I would like to share with you that some features such as this one are not available in North America.
Me: What about the AI Google Lens like feature where I can take a photo and identify what that is in that photo? Like types of food and what not?
Support: Yes, actually this is the same feature, from HiVision.
Me: So Hivision is not available in north america at all?
Support: As of yet, we do not have these feature available.

Magazine Unlock.
source huawei.ca online support chat:
Quote from Huawei Support Chat:
Me: I was looking for information on how I can configure the Magazine Unlock features of my new phone. I saw a video online that suggested I should be able to click on Setting -> Home Screen & Wallpaper from there I should be able to see a screen like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
however, what I see is this one:
as you can see, I don't have the "magazine unlock " button
Support: Please go to the main Settings menu screen, at the top, on the Search bar, input Magazine, and tell me the options you see.
Me: None. Nothing comes up when I input Magazine.
Support: After double checking this situation, if you could not find the option through the steps previously mentioned this will mean that function is not available on your phone yet.
But do not worry, at the moment there is an update for the Mate 20 Pro that will arrive Over The Air by the end of this month, that will help us to add some features. My kindly suggestion for you is to wait for this update to arrive and install it on your device, in order to check this feature. Also, please allow me to invite you to visit our consumer website, we have manuals, FAQ and other information that can be helpful for you: https://consumer.huawei.com/ca/support/
Me: I actually was on that site before coming to support. I downloaded the manual but it did not have any reference to Hivision, or magazine unlock, while all of the information on the rest of the internet does would you happen to have a list of features that are not available in the north american version of the phone?
Support: My kindly suggestion for you is to visit our consumer website, we have manuals, FAQ and other information that can be helpful for you
Me: Do you have a list of features that the end of month update will be bringing?
Support: Currently there is no information about the contents of this update, I kindly suggest you to contact us back once you receive it, so you are certain that we have all the information about it.

Lol.. sec. I'll post a screen shot of cdn site when I get back to desk
HiVision only works on the Chinese model. I haven't read any official word about whether it will be available on other models.. It seems to be linked to Huawei's Chinese alternative to Google Assistant.
I have Hivision here on the Australian LYA L09 Single Sim.
Have the eye top left of camera in photo mode. Also 2 finger hold down on screen for search in website and other applications.

So from the Huawei Canada site:
www.huawei.ca
click Phones and more, this should take you to the consumer site consumer.huawei.com/ca/support
Click Support
Then you'll see a contact us button lower right corner of the screen, click on that
should launch support options, click on online chat
fill in information and you should get an attendant. If not, try back later. One popped up really quick for me during business hours.

Hola
My appreciation mate for going through this. Interesting that I don't see this widget in my browser. I must have some security feature turned on or similar that may be blocking this. I will look into this tomorrow. Again THANK YOU very much! :highfive:
It has been explained to the OP on several occasions that the 'Magazine Unlock' feature is fully implemented and working - just not in the settings themselves. You go to 'themes', and then 'me', and then 'cutomize', and you are free to choose 'Magazine Unlock' as your style of lockscreen. You don't need to even have a Huawei ID in order to do this. To actually customize the Magazine Unlock, you do it from the lockscreen itself. It all works, and it is as perfectly useless and horrible as one could imagine. Can someone please tell me what the point of having a lockscreen at all it? I pick up my phone, and it unlocks. WHY would I want to flip around to various backgrounds, or fudge my way through clunky and broken notifications, or do anything else from the lockscreen?

It has never been accurately explained - and, with all due respect, you are posting more rubbish (ie your last inaccurate post saying Hivision was Chinise fw only). You are confused. You are customizing the lock screen image for Magazine Unlock within the Theme, not the Magazine Unlock functionality. You are modifying a THEME configurable customization, not the Magazine Lock feeds. As quoted from Huawei - the feature is not available in the North American software load. You will not get a hit if you launch settings, type in Magazine into the search bar, AND have a North American software load.. Could someone who has a non-N/A version of the phone

While this isn't the thread to be posting a question like that, I'll entertain you, just this one time. Not everyone wants their phone to unlock immediately after looking at it, they may have personal, confidential or sensitive information behind the lock screen. This is precisely why there is an additional configurable "slide to unlock" after facial recognition. You have chosen to disable it, but I believe it's enabled by default - to each his own.
I'm not sure if you have been personally offended somewhere along the way or not, but i'd appreciate it if you would stop following me around, unless, of course, the unlikely event occurs where you are able to post some accurate or helpful information.

Quick question. Just to make sure I understand. By Magazine unlock do you mean the ability to have a different lock screen every time you wake up your phone or do you mean something else?

Yes - however the feed selection option is missing. Currently you can only select images from downloaded themes
The missing functionality is the ability to select/configure new feed streams.

Hivision?
Any updates on HiVision in Canada?
I'm with Telus and on 9.0.0.127. No HiVision yet.
Is there a way to install it manually?
I downloaded to the global 171 firmware from my Optus Australian firmware and lost all the magazine lock functionality as well.. it's technically still there but the images and categories that you could change before are gone.. had to aslo download some Huawei apps. Huawei ID up the top in settings is missing as well . Strange... Maybe because this firmware isn't technically really for public yet...

The very last thing anyone needs is for us to get into a pissing match about this. I just want to say that I have never said anything about Hi-Vision, so direct that particular witch hunt elsewhere. As for the Magazine Unlock, uhhh... What is your continued argument on this subject? It works, perhaps not in the way the the brochure promised you, but it works and the irony is I left it enabled and now I love it. The pictures featured are incredible, and the real power of it is that you could give your phone to someone else and they could do a variety of things with your phone without being able to unlock it. They can obviously take pictures, they can set alarms or timers, they can use a calculator, they can record audio, and they can use the flashlight. The ability to 'customize' it comes in the form of adding pictures to the gallery it uses to rotate through.
This phone is pretty new, so by all means contact Huawei and plead the case for Hi-Vision to be unlocked here in North America, but... So far, we have received timely updates via OTA, and we have even been given stuff like the crude beta implementation of IR scanning, which I hope they develop further. I'm still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, either way I doubt you will force an official answer out of them. A year from now, if we still don't have Hi-Vision we can talk about abducting the children of their CEO out of an airport to hold as hostage... Er, wait never mind.
