Have they really removed double tap to wake? Huge dealbreaker when the fingerprint scanner is at the back of the phone.

Unfortunately Huawei removed it. Coming from LG G3 it took some time to get used to it. But the placement of the fingerprint sensor is very good indeed. I do prefer the back of the phone to the front.

If you have root try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676
I haven't gotten around to root mine yet, so will update later if it works. I've checked the files though (you can read them without root, but not modify) and all the entries are there, so it's supported just not enabled. Seems Huawei disables DT2W by default on devices with fingerprint scanners even though support is there. Makes no sense to me, but it is what it is.
I have a long list of things I need to do once I have root

dt2w setting appears but after enabling it does not work.
This is bad news but I'm pretty sure there must be a way to enable it somehow Since support is clearly there.
There must a be reason why Huawei is disabling DT2W feature..
Probably DTW has been disabled in all their new smartphones with a fingerprint sensor (ex. Mate 8): is it not compatible with lock/unlock security?
AFAIK the Honor 6 Plus which has recently been updated to Android 6 keeps the DTW function, so apparently it's not related to Marshmallow.
The finger print sensor is actually fast and good.
And it is actually placed beautifully. Easy to use
True, but when the device is placed on a table and you want to check time there is only the power button.
In 80% of cases the FP sensor is fine. For the other 20% it would be nice to have the option.
Hai dear friend if you are ready to use third party apps then we can have a solution.
Try this app it just works fine in unlocking the screen by double tap.

On my H7 with B330 Digirom 4.2 I have dt2w.
Go to Settings -> Smart assistance -> Motion Control -> Double touch (at the bottom)
Edit: Sry guys, not sure how I came upon the P9 forum, thought I was in H7
This kind of apps not need a rooted device or something?
Missing dt2w is the only flaw of this phone... Really hope they do something about it with nougat.

If fingerprint is enabled then dt2w is irrelevant anyway

Kinda. In most cases it's fine. It would still be nice to have the option. You know when the phone is laying flat on the table and you want to check time or notifications...

If your screen is always on, your Huawei P9's battery will die really, really fast. You don't want your screen to be always on because it is a non-IPS display panel.
i told you guys use application like wave to unlock and lock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimcy92.wavelock
it use proximity sensor to wake the phone,no battery draining.but be sure to choose in the settings "unlock only" option.working very good

How to turn on double tap feature in this phone

when phone is on bed or table and you want to check time or notification you have to every time pick up phone and unlock it, thats very frustrating

if u need to read time and notifications without unlock the phone so u can use "wave lock" from play store and enable only the unlock,and for better response only cover the front camera by your hand or touch it to enter to lock screen to check time and notifications.
this application is battery friendly

He means the application that he just installed requested device administrator which ends up disabling the fingerprint scanner for security purposes. Are you able to use the fingerprint scanner fine when installing and using the unlock option provided with that?

I got the idea to create a topic about important things to know about the Note 8 such like in which country the LTE/4G will work and in which country not.
Real on screen time, tips and tricks to bypass certain issues and some other interesting things to know about the phablet.
I will update the main post everytime when something new is found and keep it up 2 date for users so everyone can see a quick fix or a quick answer.
If you have a fix for anything or information to update the list, please provide it in the reply`s so i can update the main post.
4G/LTE works in:
The Netherlands
Canada
UK
Germany
Spain
Poland
Greece
Russia
Australia
Switzerland
Indonesia
Things to know
Max recording resolution is not 2160p as said on the internet but max 1080P.
If you unlock the bootloader it will give you a warning when you boot up the phone saying your phone has been unlocked and can`t be trusted, this is normal when you unlocked the bootloader.
Only 1 of the 2 simcards can use 4g at the time, so there is no 4g for both of the simcards at the same time.
Hold power and volume up when starting the phone to get in the E-recovery menu.
There is only one version of this phone, the chinese one.
This version is called the EDI-AL10, and all the languages are provided on the phone.
Some websites who are selling this phone are telling that this phone misses certain languages such as dutch.
This is not true, every language is present so no worries.
Playstore is not included on the phone, you can simply download it from the HiApp which is already pre-installed on the phone.
The fingerprintscanner can take up to 4 fingers, the fingerprintscanner only works when you activate an unlock code or password to get out of the lockscreen.
Latest rom version is B029.
Previous B027
Previous B022
Previous B017
Quickfixes/Tips and tricks:
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.
Homebutton changer (provided by kalinskym)
To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted. Download Debloater from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and disable HiVoice.apk. (com.huawei.vassistant) After you have done that you won't see HiVoice anymore and will be able to change an app/ shortcut to the home button long press by going into Apps in Settings, clicking on Advance at the bottom. Then click Default app settings and finally Assistance & voice input to change assist app (home button app/shortcut)
One handed mode
To activate one handed mode drag you finger on the navigation bar from left to right to make the screen smaller and using for the right hand.
And drag it from right to left to make the screen smaller for using it with your left hand.
Once activated drag it in the opposite way once to restore full screen or tap once on the screen above that isn't in use.
Knuckle gesture/Splitscreen
To activate "Knuckle gesture" or just splitscreen, swipe your knuckle in the center of the screen from left to right or right to left.
When doing this succesfully the knuckle command will activate splitscreen.
Knuckle gesture/Advanced screenshot
Touch (knock) your knuckle on the screen and keep touching the screen, there will come a blue sparkle once activated drag a circle or square and it will give you a selection field.
On top are some figures you can choose from.
You can now select the part you want the screenshot from and save it directly on to the phone.
Double tap your knuckle on the screen to make a full screenshot. (same as volume down+power button)
Drawing an S on the screen with your knuckle will create a screen shot while it scrolls down the page.
This wil create a screenshot with a larger screenshot containing all the footage on the screen.
Now you don't have to make multiple screenshots to get everything on the screen and down.
(Check screenshot in the attachments)
Please let me know in which country you guys are and if 4g/lte works in your country so i can update the 4g/lte list.

This is useful information. Thanks for that! I have been having an issue with the fingerprint reader taking a second longer to unlock when the phone goes into a deep sleep; However, whenever the screen is recently turned off or when the phone is charging and I try to unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, it works super fast. It's only slow when I initially wake the phone from a deep sleep. Has this happened to you/anyone? I think it may either be an app or marshmallow doze feature. I would appreciate any suggestion/advice. Thanks.

I don`t have any delays with the fingerprint, however i use Smart Unlock to bypass the fingerprint in trusted locations.
Did you already tried to remove the old prints and register new?
Only thing else i can say if thats not working is to factory reset the phone.
on what powerplan did you put your phone? And did you toggle answer calls with fingerprint.
Sounds silly but if thats disabled there is a possibilty that the fingerprint app goes in sleep while activated for answering calls could keep it alive....Always worth trying...

I tried removing the old fingerprints and replaced with new ones. I even did a factory reset. The factory reset did it. That's what leads me to believe it's more an app than marshmallow doze. I just don't know how to identify which app. I even played with turning on all the features of fingerprint scanner. I am on performance mode. It's not a HUGE deal since the phone still unlocks faster than others, but it's a nuance since you know the phone is capable of unlocking faster. If you can think of another recommendation as to identifying the app or cause I would be grateful.

Hi, 4G works in Russia.
I think an easier way to change the voice assistant would be to download the Microsoft Clip Layer app. When it asks you to Tap on Assist app click on that setting and choose something different. I had already had HiVoice disabled when I downloaded the app so if someone else can confirm that it will work I'm sure someone would appreciate it.
4G/Lte works in Melbourne, Australia on Optus
4G/LTE is working fine in Switzerland! (16ms ping, 89Mb/s DL and 20Mb/s in UL in the alps)

Hi, I did a factory reset and confirmed that the Microsoft Clip Layer app does allow you to switch the voice assistant. It is a much easier process than disabling the app and does not require a computer hook-up.

Had my phone for just over 90 days and the home button crapped out. It just suddenly stopped working. At first it disappeared in the settings menu and if I searched it would show options but they were all locked out. Did a hard reset and now it's as if it doesn't exists. Of course it's c605 and I'm in Canada bought from amazon hope the warranty checks out.

What do you see when you go to Settings - System - System Navigation? Check Navigation Bar settings.
Make sure it's just not hidden, try swiping up from the bottom of your phone. Or you could enable the Navigation Dock.

Oh, I thought you meant the Nav bar, but it seems your whole fingerprint reader is gone?
It's weird though. If you could use gestures on it... That's usually only available to front mounted fingerprint readers.
This is the prop that's supposed to enable it: ro.config.hw_triple_finger=true
I could get it working on previous builds, but it's not working anymore. edit: I lied, that was 3 finger screenshot.
See if you can reinstall your current build using eRecovery
Edit: it seems I assumed you had a Mate 10 Pro which has a rear fp reader, but you have a Mate 10 according to your post history. If the FP reader/home button is broken you should get it rrplaced

Yup, definitively ask for a replacement and contact Huawei customer service about the issue. Give a try to backup and factory reset in order to check it's not a software issue.
You could also use Gesture Control, free version has no nagging ads and should be enough, but without fp reader, I'd be lost.
Because of being in Canada and the device not being sold in Canada they were of no help. But on a brighter note I bought the device from Amazon and they have agreed to allow me to return the device.
I will say if anyone is every looking to buy a device from jpmobiles.com DON'T!! At the time of my purchase it did not state no warranty included. Sometime after my purchase the description was updated and they just gave me the run around even tho I had many screenshots to disprove them. The best thing out of this is I'm about to go get the P20 Pro. :good:

It worked for me. I taped the screen against my arm and the fingerprint reader didn't light up as it did with the old firmware. It still lights up if I tap it with an unregistered finger at the reader only and finally opens the lockscreen after a lot of taps, but this doesn't happen in a pocket.
Not available for me, I am on MIUI-V10.2.27.0.PFAEUXM. Where is the option for you?

There is no option to set it. As I said pocket mode is on by default, you can't turn it off. Works well for me, no more pocket photos!
