pressure sensing

I turn on icon shortcut action and go back to home screen but nothing happened?!did I missing something?

use HiCare app for userguides/manual. when this option enabled, certain shortcut icons on default huawei emui home should have quick task options when pressed abit harder.

guys does the Chinese version of p9 plus support 3d screen or the pressure screen sensor? on mine it does not seem to be working, VIE-AL10

Music and video app you cant straight away. Maybe if rooted and location changed, it might get rid of the Chinese online stuff. I have sent feedback to Huawei to get rid of that so if we have a big luck might get it fixed on Emui 5.0. You can always instead just hide the app, and use some other player from google store.
For the dialer, you can get rid of the yellow page by:
settings>apps>(menu>show system processes)> YellowPage>disable

Yes that remains. But in time as your contacts fill up, then those Chinese contacts show up less.
Don't forget to use the feedback app to push through the message to Huawei to get the dialer, music and video app optimized for non-Chinese speakers.
Edit: I haven't tried myself, but i wonder what happens if Music and video app taken out of International version roms are used on the our device.

vertical swipe on incoming calls

Hi guys
So, I got one of these 4x global last summer, and I'm very happy with this phone, but I have an issue with the vertical swipe to answer incoming calls
I'm used to the "normal" horizontal swipe from my previous phones (I had some Samsungs, and a couple of Sony's Xperia, still have an old Z1 compact when my 4x runs out of battery), and I just can't get used to this vertical swipe.
I did a search on google play apps for some call screen apps, and installed some 10 or so, but none of them worked well
My phone is running the stock Marshmallow 8.2.18.0 (by the way, it should have been already updated, but the update tool says there's no updates available)
Did any of you had the same issue? How did you solve it?
Regards
Antonio (Portugal)

Olá amigo
You're using MIUI's default phone app? Most of today's phone interface uses vertical swipe to answer calls. There's no setting available to change that from the app itself.
Maybe try to change the phone app, download from play store and see which one is good for you.

Widget stop updating

Hi all,
Unfortunately with the EMUI 8.1 on Android 8.1 with the P20 Pro the widget updating is still not working (see also the thread in the Mate 10 Pro).
Or is there something I did not consider?
Any help is appreciated.

No, you are not alone. Many many users have this problem. I think there is a problem that all apps are to much sleeping and dont wake up. Can be a bug in EMUI 8.1

Make sure you go in to Settings > Battery > App Launch then pick the app and choose Manage Manually and allow to run in background, I found that helped with some of my widgets that should update.

Even the stock calendar widget freezes, what a crap.

I cannot confirm this. The Huawei Calendar widget works fine and will be updated as soon as you start scrolling. Unfortunately I don't like the widget neither the calendar app...
There must be a solution for the programmers available from Huawei.

There is only a message "problems loading widget", not scrollable. You can remove/re-add the widget, and after a short time this happens again. EMUI makes most widgets useless, even when using another launcher.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4483354&stc=1&d=1524412888

Just got the phone and noticed this as well. I have my current S8+ running with an identical setup using Nova Launcher and I can see its widgets updating correctly while P20 Pro does not.
Any solution?

i'm using KGWT for widgets and seems to be working fine

The 'solution' so far is to go in to settings and change your display resolution and put it back, this refreshes the screen and also the widgets, other than that, no one seems to have a solid solution.

It seems like it is a bug with EMUI. The developer for Calendar widget pushed out a new version with a potential workaround fix for the widget on Huawei devices, but it still seems to not work correctly. Given Huawei's track record, I fear a fix is not close.

Did you test this at least for three days? No? So, wait and watch, before starting to cheer.

Pessimistic, much!
It will be 3 days by 8am tomorrow morning so I'm pretty confident......most of the bug reports were noting the scrollable widgets stopped between 1 and 24 hours after activation.
I did wait 2 days before I posted.

Allowed to cheer?
So its now been 3 days 2 hours and 20 mins with widgets working correctly, for me at least I believe its properly fixed.
Huawei has also closed my ticket in agreement.
Happy Days!

Huawei messaging app

Hi does anyone have huawei messaging APK?
I preferred that to Google sms app.
Anyone else prefer Huawei messaging app?

No, not really.
If you really want the Huawei sms client, someone has to extract it for you from an older handset. I don't believe the app is released on Google Play.
I've searched apkmirror, but I can't find any.

i searched for it but couldn't find it as when i used phone clone to port my messages across it said it had done them, but there was no messaging app, so not sure where stored as not in the google android messages app - luckily i have sms backup+ to backup text messages

Nope only Google Messaging, I prefer Textra anyway so use that instead.

yeh i like chompsms which is the daddy of textra - i have both, but there were some things missing from textra but are in chompsms

Hello,
I used to use the Huawei app. I managed to extract it from a Huawei Mate 10 pro. But impossible to install. Is it possible to make it compatible for the P20 Pro.
Sorry for my English

Tried it get same error message.
Glad I'm not the only one who prefers Huawei messaging sap.
Prehaps need to root phone.
Don't know why Huawei didn't give the option to install either.

I've not tried chompsms in years. I think it's the intrusive ads which puts me off and eat great fan of the ui.
I'll revisit it see if it had improved much.

I agree with you. Huawei messaging app is far better than the Google one.
So I extracted the Huawei messaging app from the P20 Lite model and sent it via bluetooth to my P20 pro but the phone doesn't let me install it.
It doesnt have to do with unknown sources. I think that the phone is programmed to block this app.
The must have had an agreement with google to use their messaging app instead.
It doesn't make sense that the P20 Lite model has the official one and the P20 Pro model doesn't.

Hello. Im looking for the same thing on my p20. O have Huawei messages on my mediapad m5, instead of ugly Google message. I couldn't find a way to install the original app...

Yeah, I used the Huawei Messaging app too on my P10, and when I moved on the Mate 20 Pro I was really disappointed to see that they replaced it with that ugly Google Messages app...
If there is a way to get rid of the Google app and install the Huawei one instead, please tell us how !

Am so eager to know this as well... Google messenges is not worth at all.. Just dissapoited

Where can I download apk from P20Lite?

Here is the latest Huawei Messaging app created with App Backup & Restore. Taken from a rooted Huawei p20pro running EMUI 8.1.0.
Good luck and hope it works.

Thanks a lot! I installed. This is unfortunately the same application as in the google store (not Huawei) I would like my old version from Lite. I have accidentally removed it. I tried to install from p10lite, but I can not.

App Twin not working with Nova Launcher?

Hi all,
I've switched from Mate 20 Pro to P30 Pro for about a month now, everything works fine except for the one problem - I have never been able to make App Twin work. Every app I enable just creates a second icon but clicking on it launches the same primary app.
I understand that App Twin clearly states that it will only work with the stock launcher but I've managed to enable it for Nova on my old Mate 20 Pro. There must be something I can do to replicate it?
Thanks!

I think you answer your own question - "I understand that App Twin clearly states that it will only work with the stock launcher.."
In addition, my understanding is that the app MUST support App Twin natively. If it doesn't then it's unlikely to work anyway.
