Hi folks,
While locked, one can find the Barcode-scanner with a swipe from the bottom. That is, in fact, quite handy.
But, maybe I'm blind, I can't find that app/feature while the phone is unlocked. I know that the camera -app should recognize QR-codes automatically, but it doesn't react to barcodes.
If someone here could tell me, how to start that Barcode-scanner, that would be great.
Kindly, Marcel
Just scroll the home page to the left until you see a search bar
Or in home screen, swipe down from the screen ( not the notification bar) until you see a search bar
The left part of the search bar is the barcode scanner
Thanks, found it next to the searchbar...
But, can't one can start it directly somehow?
From the Lockscreen, swipe up from the botton. The most right icon.

As I wrote in the first post, I already knew that, I was looking to start that app/function while the phone is unlocked. But thanks anyway...
I guess I will just use the way mentioned earlier, with the searchbar...

I am using Nova Launcher so the search bar is not visible for me... The only option is to start it from the lock screen. Any other methods?

There's another way, a bit complicated, but it works:
Make a photo of the QR code and open the photo with the gallery app. Now tap the 3 dots for "more" on the bottom right and the last menu entry should be " Scan QR code in the picture" or something else (free translated from German EMUI).
I don't know why Huawei removed the EMUI 4 feature that the stock camera can read QR codes directly without any option. There was just a small button with "scan QR code" inside the camera app, when it recognized such a code.
swipe all the way to left. then you come to the search bar. the icon on the left of the search bar gets to the scanner. I have no idea why i cannot find the app anywhere elese.
Open camera app, in top left corner you have icon for HiVison(circle with 2 "wings"), click on that and then you have more posibilites, QR scanner, translate, shop, or recognizing.

Is it possible to get weather on the lock screen? I see all this wasted space at the top and seems like something should go there.

Ya I saw that. Not sure I like it. Sometimes the normal lockscreen comes up then the flyscreen. ANd I like the swipe to unlock not pressing a key.
This Flyscreen is great! However, now it unlocks too easily. Just thinking, would we get it so that only 2xhome-button triggers it.. or maybe iphoneesque swipe bar would fit there nicely.
Good app but I hate the menu to unlock, should be a swipe, but also wished the press menu button to unlock was taken out because A) I already know what button it is and B) if someone picks my phone up, then they won't know how to unlock it etc!
Simples.
Swipe at least for our own enjoyment (yes it's not secure but it's fun) Menu bit out as it's well a little too duh!
Good app though!
Another thing I'd like to see on this after using it for past day is the actual scrolling across to be more flowing, at moment it's more stuttering to each tab / news feed. - Oh and the Weather feed should update so the previous days are replaced for forthcoming days, rather than one standard weekly thing.
Hi,
My P7 does not have lock screen, instead of this, loads an annoying app called P7 (which comes with stock ROM).
Any of you have an idea to enable lock screen? In settings->security->lock screen, option appears in grey and it is unselectable
I have updated to B126 to check if there was an issue with my stock rom, but it is the same.
Thank you

I'll take a guess here that you have the default magazine slideshow lock.
Go into the theme app and click customize them you can change the lockscreen style to one that allows widgets etc.
It took me a little to figure it out also when I got my phone.

No, i dont have any lock screen. When i press power off button to go to lockscreen, by default, the P7 app appears with a lot of spam about huawei. If i disable this app by settings->applications->p7->disable, when i press power button, screen goes black and when i press again, instead of see the typical lock screen, i see the desktop directly

Please take a screenshot of what you mean.
This was already discussed before, use the search button next time.
Your phone is in demo mode, used for demostration in shops.
Try method post #20 first, if it doesn't work do the steps in post #18.

Not at all, but I learnt about demo mode, and I was able to find the app in /cust/hw/demo, so I removed this and then I did a factory reset
can anybody help me figure out how to turn off the zoom when clicking on a link, its extremely annoying especially when clicking in the text field it hides my text that I try to type... Ive searched everywhere but cant find anything... :-/
Not sure I understand problem.
What browser do you use? In Chrome it is double tap to zoom. I can't reproduce your problem on mine. I know there is an accessibility setting that triple tap to magnify is controlled by, when in use frames the window in a yellow box. Sorry could not help more.

When your screen window is small, it checks to see if you were clicking on the right link. You can avoid this by stretching out the window with two fingers, it creates a greater distance between tight links.

Is it the whole page zooming or is it like a smaller window that zooms in too? If that window is coming up then there are two links, text fields etc nearby to each other and the device can't tel which one you are trying to get to. Just touch the one you want in that zoomed window then.
Not sure who knows, but if you do a vertical "pinch out" gesture on the default OnePlus launcher, it brings you straight to the Hidden Space. I've linked a video explaining what I mean.

I did not know this.
Thanks!
I was playing around and just decided to try it. Who knew? It's like OnePlus his their hidden space gesture, waiting for someone to discover it.
Long press on an empty space on the home screen and enter the home settings. There is a selection at the bottom "Hidden Space". It explains this.

That is when you are in the app drawer, this gesture is done on the home screen.
Good find, I like it. Didn't know.
Hi, I found this new little animation on both bottom corner everytime I went to homescreen. This is on the new realme UI, so I figured it is a new animation however I have no Idea what it represents. Does anyone here know and could help me out? I'm trying to find a way to turn off this animation
It's to activate Google assistant. Just slide from the bottom corner to the center ...
If someone knows how to deactivate that'll be great.
Settings, click the search bar and type default app, click assist app then select none and the 2 bottom rounded corners disappear.

If you want the animations in the bottom corner for the GA disappear whenever you go to the home screen, just follow this simple guide. Worked for me and it's very simple.
