Hello,
I am pretty new to Huawei and its software. I tried to get Google Fit counting my steps like it did on my Samsung phone before, but nothing happens, the activity counter stays at 0.
Also, it does not transfer any data to my Lifesum app. Any days what may cause this problem?
Thank you for your help, I used the search but did not find any clue.

hi, you can use huawei widget health
theres even a option in menu to put counting steps in lockscreen
I had this problem too after previously using Google Fit on another device and then trying to use it on my P9. My Google Fit now counts steps correctly after I went into Google Fit settings and clicked on Delete History. Sure you lose prior data, but that was the only way I could get it to work.

Huawei health don't really integrate to any other apps, so not an options in this case

I've found a few changes with 6.0.1 and figured I'd post them for others to see. Feel free to post things you've noticed as well!
The GOOD:
-Encrypted phone can now be unlocked with a PIN instead of a password (FINALLY!)
-Samsung Good Lock can be installed and seems to be working great. You can't get it from the app store but I found it pretty quick on Google.
-Battery life seems to be better. I just factory reset my phone 4 days ago (and did another one after installing 6.0.1) and it still seems to last a little bit longer. I had 2.5 hours of screen on-time last night and it went down to 73%. I was in settings messing around and installing/setting up apps; not bad IMO.
-I was able to add a credit card to Samsung Pay while encrypted. I recall some people were having issues adding cards to 5.1.1 if the device was encrypted, looks like it was fixed.
-The DND setting are WAY improved. You can now set it to ring if someone calls 2x within 15 min and other fine-tune options
-The BAD:
-Pie Pro doesn't play well with secure startup; It wants me to disable secure startup to enable the back button for some reason. I am using an older version (the new update is awful) but I may upgrade to see if I can get it to work. Not a deal breaker, but I really like Pie controls.
-You can no longer install the multiwindow toggle .apk to get the mobile data toggle back. I was able to get the mobile data toggle back by installing Good Lock, but the multiwindow app doesn't let you set it any more. This almost made me mad, why ATT removes the mobile data toggle is beyond me.
I'm having an issue where I can't select apps for the Active Key shortpress/longpress. Every time I tap on one to change it, I get the 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped' message. Anyone else seeing this?
Nope, not on either S6A I've upgraded. I performed a factory reset as well, if anything try that.

I've found that you need to do a factory reset on all updates, especially major updates like this, to avoid random errors. I've also felt that it helps keep battery life high.
My experience has been pretty good on battery. Much better than 5.1.1. I installed the good lock app from the galaxy apps store, and all has been good. It unlocks faster, able to hold apps open for longer, and just feels more refined. I did not do a factory reset. I haven't hit any glitches or errors, just the Google services when it first updated but that is about it. Running smooth
Not having Data Toggle (and I guess Private Mode?) is rather disconcerting.....
Anyone know a simple tried and true way to get these back on stock 6.0.1?

Samsung Good lock (download from galaxy app store, it's not on GPlay) will restore data toggle, and I have private mode... It's definitely in the options, I just checked.

Is it only me or anyone else too cannot find Good Lock in Galaxy App store!
So i decided to try and see what is Huawei wallet, wasn't sue how it'll work as i don't have NFC on my version. Once i installed it, it keeps on coming up every time i unlock the device. So i cleared all data and took away all permissions from the app, plus i signed out of my Huawei id. But now every time i unlock the device i get a login to Huawei id. when i use task manager it isn't showing up there, and when i go to the app the only option i have is force stop. But i go back out unlock the device and the same blue screen with login id comes up. It's annoying the heck out of me! how do i stop this from coming up? Is there any way to disable/uninstall this app?! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Wow, I thought it was bad enough having to ignore the "login to huawei" message I see at the top of the settings page, and which i'm never going to use.
So, no one?

I've the same issue for a few weeks now. It really is massive pain! And I can't believe this UX fail is so significant. Does anyone have ANY solutions?

a funny workaround is actually to enable the "Digital Balance" and allow the Wallet 0 screentime.
In the Wallet app, go to settings -> about -> slider to stop the app.
I have previously used Sony and switched to the p30 pro now , before I used to depend on a app like Notify, Notable ect ect ect where you have a quick access to make a note from the notification bar and then make that note stick there until you remove it yourself. When I now use the apps I previously used the notes and quick access all disapeare. I have tried to download several other apps but nothing stays there until I decide myself. Have also checked phone/app settings with no luck.
Does anyone know of a app like this that works correct on p30 pro or if there is a settings Im overlooking?
check out notin from Google Playstore

Thanks for the tips! I have tried Notin and unfortunaly its the same issue there. All the apps I tri, even the ones working on Sony Xperia and other phones, they just keep disapering from the Notification bar after around maximum 1 day.
I have tried looking in setings with no luck either, but I could be missing something. Dont understand why they will not work =/

Set the app to manual in app launch. Dont let the system auto manage it. Lastly, check and make sure the app is not optimized in the battery settings.

Has anyone found a way to get push notifications to work? I've tried freezing GSF. The Push Notification Tester app shows a notification but notifications for other apps don't arrive. Thanks in advance!

For which apps? The notifications are different for each app on Huawei device's, you really gotta dig deep in the settings to get a lot of them to show up
I solved the issue. Just reinstalled GMS and used a method I found in the P40 Pro forums with a modded GSF. Now my notifications work along with google location accuracy and the playstore. The only thing that doesn't work is Pokemon Go .

I haven't got it to work wither, Post the method you used.
I reset the phone and followed this method:
And then I followed this method (had to donate some money to get the files) to get notifications.
I don't think google location accuracy works though cause I was at work today inside a big building and google maps was unable to find my location. There's also no way to toggle location accuracy on in the settings.

Make sure you have this setting selected for Maps, I had 'allow only whole in use' selected before and Maps weren't working at all.
This has worked for me.
It's under apps/apps/ search for maps look in permissions/location

Hi Kenny this method works on the mate x2?
Yes it works for me. Haven't had any play protect errors and I receive push notifications for all apps.
Hi I was able to install GMS, and all the apps are working as expected.. My issue is with android auto.. I am able to install and launch it from the car. When I disconnect the phone and reconnect however I only get the bar on the bottom of the car screen tbut the rest of the screen is black with no icons. If I clear cache and clear data and reconnect the phone it works again until I disconnect the phone and reconnect when the same behavior happens.. The screen is black and all I see is the bottom app drawer.. Does any one has a working android auto install ?
I also keep getting delayed push notifications. Telegram and whatsapp sometime come, sometime i have to unlock device.
works great on my mate x2 push notifications coming in without a problem playstore works : )
it really works thanks guys, all push notifications, no protect error, plàystore works great, location works. if you find some apps not work for push or location just uninstall and reinstall and it will work

This solved my problem aswell.
I don,t know how to really call it, but how to disable the Google news feed on the swipe left home?
Another problem is sending a contact shortcut to the homescreen. it says its already there bu its not.
Lucky i didn,t get this phone myself, its UI is just horrible ****.

If you do not like the UI change it or get rid of the mobile. For you it is horrible but for most of users not. It is a matter of taste.
Good luck with it.

Thx, very helpful
use a third party launcher to get rid of google page (lawnchair launcher 2,nova launcher)
and make sure you haven't locked homescreen when adding contact shortcut
I accidentally found a way to remove the Google feed.
I tried installing 'Breeno feed' from APK mirror. The phone required rebooting before it appeared on the left of my homescreen.
Most of the features didn't work properly, probably due to my phone being from the UK. So I uninstalled it (on app menu shows as 'Quick Glance').
After uninstalling it, Google feed no longer appears on my home screen, in fact I can't swipe left at all now
It stayed gone after a reboot and hopefully won't cause any issues.
Just thought I'd share this info and hope it can help someone.
After another reboot today Google feed reappeared..
So I just quickly repeated the steps and it's gone again. I guess it doesn't remain after a reboot.
Hi I've upgraded to this phone today from my find X2 pro and I saw this thread so I extracted the Smart Assistant apk from the find x2 installed it on the find x3 and it works fine but you only get weather, calendar and step counter features with my apk I've attached below if any of you want it.
Edit: there's a bug with weather not updating but otherwise it's better than having google on it I guess
Install apk and reboot.

Yh it doesn't update for me either I'll have to let people know that
There is another solution for disabling it completely which was shared by wedaxi on reddit:
Hello, maybe it's late to leave an answer but this is how I removed the google feed completely from the home screen.
You need to enable developer tools on your phone: https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options
Download Android Studio on your computer (this is the easiest way to install adb wich you will need, but you can search how to install adb independently)
Connect your phone to the computer with usb cable (you can also connect the phone wirelessly but the cable is the easiest method https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb)
Once you are connected use this command from the computer console to disable google feed app
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
This only disables the app, it does not uninstall it, to do that you probably need to root the phone and I just don't recommend it.
I'm sorry if this method is not the easiest, this is what I did after not finding any other solution and It works.
However the Goolge-App and Lens won't work afterwards!
Hey there,
I found a way to "disable" the Google feed without installing another launcher.
If you hide the Google App in the Privacy Settings, when you swipe left, nothing happens. The icon at the bottom which indicates how many pages there are is still visible but honestly it doesn't bother me much.
Hopefully, Oppo will add the option to hide the Google Feed page.
Cheers
