Find My phone - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Out of curiosity, today i tryed the 'Find My Phone' feacture on my P20 Pro and got a litle disapoited because the only data aveable was some days old because I don't have my location always on on the phone and if i do lose the device this info is irrelevant. Maybe is an android problem but my last device Lumia 950Xl (I miss WP10 a lot) had the same feature but had an option that the phone wold turn on and off the location for a few seconds from time to time to save my location for safty reasons. Can't do that with the p20 pro or i'm missing something?

WiFi not propperly used in Standby

I have my P10 now since Christmas and I am very happy with it, but there is one pet peeve with it:
Whenever I wake up in the morning the wifi isn't working anymore. It shows as active and I got a couple of notifications and messages, but apps like Whatsapp having the "Waiting for WiFi Connection for BackUp" message.
I already checked the App Manager if it stops Whatsapp in standby, but it doesnt stop any apps.
Is there anything else that could block wifi when the device isnt used in a longer period?
P10 wifi for Me works as expected, a lot better that S6. Try to flash latest FW, factory reset device, if problem still exists after that take it to service center.

Huawei P20Pro Cloud problems

Hi!
I have a Huawei P20Pro. Region: Romania - EU.
From the moment I've purchased the device the Huawei Cloud didn't worked for me. I have an account, I can log in but the "cloud" doesn't make any back-up. When I tried to make manual back-up it took over 8 hours and nothing happend. It take aprox 10 minutes to show the available storage although is the same initial 5 GB. I've tried the hard reset, resetting network settings. I've disabled the back-up of Gallery to save space and time and nothing hapens.
After a month of daily use the cloud of my Huawei is empty. I couldn't make any back-up.
Thanks guys!
Sal. Also from România, had the same problem. Now I am in vacation in Cyprus, and the cloud backup works well. I think Huawei cloud has some problems with IP classes from Romania. It shouldn't be the case, because H cloud is available in our country, just like hicare, but that is the situation so far...

Hi!
The strange part is that a friend of mine also from Romania who has Huawei P10 is very happy with the cloud. It works for him.
I also tried on my wife's P20Pro and also didn't worked!
Tanks!
It does not work for me either . It says last update: 5.8.2018, when I do it based on the description, i.e. connect to wifi, put it on charger and turn off screen, it does nothing.
When I hit "backup" manually, it starts backing up Messages and then ends (crashes). I am from Slovakia (if the location matters)

Hi!
My problems are solved! Suddenly! Without my intervention. One day, out of nowhere my P20 Pro starts to back up. And it worked! Actually before trying with this forum I spent a lot of time with the costumer support. They told me to reset my device, to reset my wi-fi settings etc. I think that they also provide Huawei with some informations. And now Huawei cloud it's working!
Have a nice day

Data from old to ne phone.

Hi me again.
I have used phone clone to get all my aps from s8 to p30 pro working good, then I used helium to get the data of each app to the p30 pro.
Now there is more than 180 apps, on the p30 one of them is making a lot of trouble on the p30 pro. So I have factory reset the .
I am trying to get one by one over, but seem not to get it to work. eg, I have andBible on my phone, so when I trying to use Bluetooth
to get the app and data over, I can not seem to do it correct.
I did not use Bluetooth before, so this is where I need help
Is there a step by step on how to get the data and app to work on the new phone, so that it will show everything (settings eg.) of the app on the p30 pro
Or is there a freeware app to do this.

MI8 Wifi "no access to internet" problem with MIUI 12.5 EU ROM

I downloaded the 12.5 version while testing out some other ROMs since I like using MIUI unlike many people and I know Xiaomi would not full fill their global update promise for mi8 since its been like a year after they announced that 12.5 would come for mi8 as the last update. Only problem I have with it is the fact that I need to go into wifi settings and pick the wifi I want to connect for it to connect it, every god damn time. Then it says there is no internet connection and if I want to keep it or not and I say keep it then it starts functioning like it should. I don't understand why it keeps saying "there is no internet connection" in a wifi network while obviously there is nothing wrong with the wifi itself. In the original MIUI 12 version it instantly connected to existing wifi networks when it entered their range, automatically without me having to open the wifi settings. I tried resetting wifi settings and opening and closing the auto connect option as it was recommended in some videos but nothing helped.
So at the end it doesn't connect wifi networks because it thinks there is no internet connection at them and keeps using mobile data until I manually force it to connect. I eventually got use to it after a month or so but it is still bugging me. The phone is rooted and I am using add away, which did cause other problems in the past so I am kinda suspicious of it. Spotify is kinda busted with this ROM and I get like 2 hours and a half hours of screen time while scrolling through reddit at most which is stupid but the general inconvenience of using this is not greater then going through the suffering of loading a new ROM and reinstalling all of the stuff so can anyone help me to make it a less suffering experience. My battery is new but it is old stock from 2018 so it is as **** as the one it had inside for 3 years since Xiaomi doesn't provide new ones like Apple and Samsung as much as I understand. I will not buy a new phone since technological improvements stopped 4 years ago except useless cameras which I never use because the sensor size is too small anyway and you can't beat physics no matter how much post progressing you apply in phone camera software. Sorry for the long rant, I just felt the need of writing that last part out of boredom.

Question Slow USB WhatsApp Iphone to 11T transfer

Wonder can anyone help.. This seems like the biggest difficulty ever. Transferring WhatsApp backup from Iphone to Android. Apple ecosystem is working tremendously hard to prevent you moving from Apple to Android. Its been already a week of trying to solve this issue.
I have finally found a 3rd party app that can migrate Iphone back up then convert into Android format and then restore. ( This switch option is currently only available to Samsung user in free format.I guess Samsung ecosystem is also fighting this issue hard to win people over)
The problem I have, 11T pro file transfer is ridiculously slow. I need to move 6gb of WhatsApp messages and no matter what I do or PC I use ( Mac/Laptop or pc) 11T pro will cancel the transfer always around half way. It just disconnects. Even if I use directly connected USB drive, same thing.
Im slowly starting to regret this idea of going back to android.. Or maybe 11T pro is just a crap phone.. Which all tells me that apart from a good Snapdragon and fast battery charger, everything else is poo..
Help appropriated! Thank you
