Dual SIM, Dual WhatsApp?

Hi All,
I have order a Oneplus 3T that will be delivered today. Now have the Oneplus 3T a dual SIM option, but can i use WhatsApp two times? By Huawei you can use the option 'app twin' that Huawei have build in his EMUI skin.
With app twin you can use Social media apps: Facebook, twitter and WhatsApp 2 times, so you can use 2 numbers with WhatsApp.
I hope i can use this option (personal number and work number).
Greetz, Marco

use any third party apps bro. They give more option than stock one if it was available.

Could you share a link to this APK via PM?
Right now I am using Parallel Space which works perfectly (also notifications) but drains battery. I used to test Island (Play Store BETA-section) which is great but I couldn't get it to properly work in combination with an applock so I switched back to Parallel Space. Maybe you modded APK will do better? Happy to hear from you! Some link would help

I use this application for second sim: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.disa
It doesn't have all the functions but it's ok for my job sim. If anyone has another better option, please share.
Thanks.

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.

C782 latest update fix
I just received the 110 C782 update and the widget bug is now fixed!

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!

Funky route?
You could always go the Funky route?

I think XDA should close those Funky paid services (if any) forums and threads, and ban every user advertising it.

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 don't have that option switched on, but it's under notifications, but remember notifications on the P20 Pro is hit and miss....

Chinese version of p20 pro is using stock Huawei message app instead of Google... Maybe someone can find a way to find it and install it

Czy możesz powiedzieć jak wyodrębniłeś aplikacje wiadomości z telefonu? Chciałabym przenieść aplikacje wiadomości z Huawei P10 na Huawei p20.

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.

Nope. I doubt you can change it. Even after we change to Google assistance, it will keep role back to none/original setting

thanks for the answer...btw...third party launcher dont work in emui 9 ;(
is it possible to downgrade to 8.1 ? i have no root....

You can use another method to uninstall the default launcher. I don't really recommend it if you are using gesture as default navigation. Other than the default launcher, gesture doesn't work correctly

Question Shazam not working

Hello folks,
not being able to use Shazam still is a bummer for me.
Always the same thing:
install Shazam, grant it every possible right, works for 2-3 songs (doesn't matter if widget or normal Shazam icon), stops recognizing any song
I kind of adopted to an app called "beat find", which is way slower and has a smaller database but keeps working
Anyone having that Shazam problem too?

I can confirm that Shazam stops working once I close and relaunch it. Works fine on first launch as long as I don't close it. I'm also interested in a solution.

You mean with "close it" killing it from recents? Because I have tried different ways now but doesn't matter what i do it works.

Wasn't aware of the issue as I had only used it once on this device, so thank you for raising awareness. You may have better luck with SoundHound (aka Midomi). I've used this one a ton in the past. Unfortunately it does have adverts unless you buy ad-free for £5

Thx a lot. Just switched to SoundHound and it is working perfectly. The 5,x€ are worth it for me.
Just the widget is not a 1x1 small widget und I have found no way in the settings to automatically start the search for songs once I click on the app icon (widget does search instantly by clicking on it)

I also have problems with Shazam, to make it work again, I have to clear Data and Cache.

@kitzblitz yeah I don't really get why they couldn't include a 1x1 widget also. Anyway make sure to enable the 'startup' (not 'autostart') permission for Spotify if you want Spotify integration to work inside SoundHound.
@PILLS2389 yep that's the exact behaviour I'm seeing. SoundHound seems to be a decent alternative for now
Please report back if you ever find a solution

Shazam also didn't work on mine. SoundHound is a very bit as good though!
