I am trying to figure out where the motion controls are, where you can draw a C to launch the camera for instance. I asked Huawei twitter and they said
" Open Settings > Smart assistance > Motion control > Smart screenshot"
I go to settings, smart assistance, and there is NO motion control. I've googled it and a lot of others say that is the place to change it. I'm running the most current version EMUI 9.1.0.124 (C605E4R1P5), Model VOG-L29, 256 gig, 8 gig ram version
Any help would be awesome
Same here also looking for those :/
Some more info from Hauwei about this. Though I don't buy the reasoning because my P20 Pro could do this on Android 9

I'm surprised not to find those options on my P20 Pro !!
I saw that features on Honor View 10 review and it was normal for me that P20 Pro will have at least the same but i don't see that option anywhere.
I'm so disappointed !!
Yes I really liked the idea of smart auto rotate (apparently it would check on the orientation of your face to see whether it should auto rotate).
Any alternatives?
Hi !
Have you some features that you wish to be included on Emui 8.0 but you have to find an app to make it happened ?
There is my list :
Caffeine > Caffeinate
More Quick Tiles options > Shortcutter Quick Settings
AdBlock > Blokada and Yandex
Merged Storage (or move apps to SD) > not found yet :crying:
Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
A good Dark/Black Theme that don't mess with the UI > Change DPI of the UI > not found yet :crying:
Don't hesitate to share !
Change DPI
You can change DPI by activating developer mode.

Multiple user accounts, it's such a shame Huawei crippled that option when it's supported by the underlying operating system. No workaround that I know of...
Wish there was an auto setting for the backlight...
First world problem I know but it's not ideal to have to adjust brightness yourself
There is merged storage. Its just not clear how to do it. Go into settings, then storage. Underneath the SD Card option there is an option called storage settings, default location. Change it to SD card, the tablet will reset and you will now have joint storage. Works fine for me. Having the 16gb version with only 7gbs available was a real shocker for me. I wouldn't have purchased it, if i had known this. I mean, seriously, why do they need over 8 gigs for the OS+install files?
Anyway, I slapped in a 32gb card, did the above and all my apps install on the SD card now.

I suppose you are not speaking seriously. Have you checked your internal storage before and after installing some apps?
There's no way you can merge the memory. Wish it was that easy.

Hello, screen are too big.

Tried few values between around 700, but UI gliched a bit, camera UI was broken and few buttons were on top of each other.
If anyone have a valid value we would appreciate it.
Thanks for answer.
This low DPI for 1920x1200 screen are not serious from Huawei...
I set 720 dp. Settings menu are glitched.

Exactly, very useful for a tablet, especially when you have a kid. A shame…

Hello,
Values 679 to 754 glitches settings menu.
I set Smallest Width at 678 dp.
I used face unlock on my 2014 Nexus 9. It's a shame they have REMOVED this feature from original android. I was thinking of getting a MediaPad M5 Pro AND a Mate 20 Pro. I'm glad I have bought this cheaper tablet before. I'll never buy anything else from huaweii again.

Pitch black theme for emui 8 in playstore, not noticeable bugs (if u dot touch rare sides in android settings menu, etc)
I'm about to buy this tab but can anyone tell me if this tab is upgradeable to pie version? I heard from rumors we gonna get pie.
No Screensaver on my Device
I bought the Huawei MediaPad T5 10 3GB/32GB and I am not able to find a Setting to activate a Screensaver.
Is my Tablet broken ?
Hey all, just got the 4gb t5. My first one had a backlight issue but new one seems pretty good!
My main issue was the size of the items on screen and the launcher. Lawnchair and lawnfeed solved the launcher easy enough but thought I'd share how I got to the item scaling menu.
I used the app quickshortcutmaker:
- Add widget to desktop, choose quickshortcutmaker
- Change search mode to normal
- Search for 'vision' and only one option should pop up, select that
- You can choose to make this a shortcut, or you can just hit test and it will open up the vision settings window.
- Choose view mode and said the item size down a notch!
This changes the display to be a little smaller without any glitches.
Hope this helps someone out!

I can't find the option in developer menu. Can you share please? Thanks
It's called "smallest width" in developer options, but doesn't stick after a reboot. If you use the method I put above you should get the smallest ui and without bugs, and it seems to hold when I turn the tablet off then on
Increase value in system - > dev options - > smallest width

As you'll know EMUI 9 is globally rolling out, I have received the Pie update on Jan 10th which is sized about 4.04 GB. Again on Jan 18th I received another update which is an Android Security Patch dated December 1, 2018. It is sized about 240 MB.
See the screen shots below.
Whats new in the update:
> Nothing much. I felt not much of any difference in my daily usage after the update except the ones mentioned above. Digital Balance feature is good to keep yourself away from mobile if used properly. Or you can lose the Balance and abuse it anyway. Its your choice after all.
> Battery performance is same again. Its good like before.
> EMUI interface has some minor changes like revamped Call Screen, Recent Apps, HiTouch for Shopping, etc.
> Gestures are same as previous ones. Still senseless.
swipe from left/right edges for back (****ty gesture)
swipe up from bottom center to home
swipe up from bottom right/left for Assistant
> Suggestion here: disable the Assistant gesture in the Settings for better multitasking.
Bugs:
> I have one. It may not be present for others I suppose. After rebooting device goes to zzzVIBRATIONzzz mode on its own. I have to manually turn off vibration mode every f time.
> EMUI is just a mimic of iOS like all Chinese mobiles do. But transitions are not as smooth as iOS. Sometimes UI transitions jitters just like that. Of course Android mobiles can never make it up to Apple's iOS when it comes to interface design.
> Apps got killed in the background. May be due to aggressive memory management. Keep your favorite apps padlocked in the Recents screen to prevent this from happening. I hate Recents screen personally. Its like going back to old iPhone interface.
You should know that:
> Third-party launchers (Nova too) won't work properly from EMUI 9 as Huawei announced officially.
> Widevine level is L3. Some may want to know this.
> Themes are limited as of now as EMUI 9 is new to the market.
> Its a worthy upgrade for me. No going back.
I highly doubt whether Honor Play will have any Custom ROMs developed in the future as we'll know bootloader cannot be unlocked. XDA page for this device is useful only for information & news sharing I think. Or correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you.
Let me know if you have any queries regarding update...
:good:
Best way to avoid aggressive memory management is to change display to 720p!
As mentioned by another user on here ?
I don't notice any loss of quality of screen, working fine for me!
Europe just got 9.0.0.161 with January security patch

Go to Settings>Battery>App Launch. Uncheck those apps you want to keep running in background i.e. manage manually. That's the solution.
If accessibility permission of 3rd party apps are being revoked automatically and you are annoyed of turning it on repeatedly, it's the solution.

Thanks for this. I removed almost all apps from running in background. The usage has become significantly better.
Hi i'm from india, recently updated from oreo to pie officially.
But after upgrade i missed some important features in camera like video recording in pro mode, and beautification (like 3 diamond icon in oreo) option.
In beautification mode, we find separate sub mode for females and males for perfect selfies but now in pie i didn't find this option.
Can any body show me where these settings hidden. how can i enable it.
Thanks
They removed recording video in pro mode. I don't know how's it even possible and who approved it but they completely destroyed camera with pie update. You can use 3rd party apps, but all working apps are paid. And these apps aren't cheap.
I've noticed a downward trend in photo modes and its options since S7edge days.

ASUS has officially released Android 13. Maybe it's good for the owners to share the experience.
This is what I read from the ASUS' support website:

6. System clipboard added "Auto delete" and editor features
7. Added the QR code scanner option for the lock screen shortcut feature, and the Control from locked device feature in the Security & lock screen setting

17. Some 3rd party apps are not compatible with Android 13 yet
18. Upgrade system modes to the latest version, including "High performance", "Dynamic", "Durable" and "Ultra durable." Game Genie is also upgraded to the latest version, to allow quick switching of system modes in games.
Im on beta at Version WW-33.0210.0210.180 and if they don't broke anythink i can recommend upgrade to A13. It works much better
Good to hear. Just want do double-check, the upgrade won't erase anything, right? I understand it's always recommended to perform a backup first.
The upgrade won't erase anything, don't worry
Yea, A13 work perflecty
Confirmed working on the EU variant.
Of this update, what I like most is the possibility to shrink the enormous quick tiles to smaller icons. But the first time you boot Android 13 it's hard to tell the difference from the previous version.
I also updated to this firmware. It's great. Much smoother and less bugs (so far). Also, the small quick setting tiles are back!
Does it have the edge tool / sidebar which we see in Zenfone 9?

No, it REC button shows the same as on A12.
No need to activate it differently.
Thanks. I had to downgrade because it doesn't show for me. I tried googling it, but Google has kinda sucked for about two years now. Are there any troubleshooting guides for this?
