    Post Android Auto NOT compatible with Huawei phones

    To get to those on a Huawei Mate 9 from any normal screen, the route is swipe down > Settings > Apps > Settings > Default app settings > Assistance & voice input Not that it helps at all. My Mate 9 (UK, Android 7.0, EMUI 5.0.1, Build MHA-L09C432B198) will not link up properly. The car (VW Golf...

    Post EMUI update 8th June

    How do you mean 17.7.84.1? EMUI version on my Mate 9 in the UK is 5.0.1 still only with the November 2017 security patch level. Build MHA-L09C432B198 I'm fed up waiting for EMUI 8 / Oreo as it is supposed to fix the Android Auto connection problem.

    Post Support ended for Huawei Mate 9 MHA-L09C432 Europe variant

    I'm just concerned about how safe it is to download firmware from basically unknown sites through an app that seems to be getting some pretty poor reviews (and some good ones, admittedly). EDIT I've now found the original FF thread on xda and withdraw that comment. Lots of reading to do to be...

    Post Support ended for Huawei Mate 9 MHA-L09C432 Europe variant

    Why is mine still stuck on MHA-L09C432B198? EMUI 5.0.1 Android 7.0 November 2017 security update. It was bought SIM free and is factory unlocked. Updates are set to automatic.

    Post Android Auto NOT compatible with Huawei phones

    Not working on Mate 9 UK unlocked. MHA-L09C432B198 EMUI 5.0.1 Android 7.0 No updates available The other things that don't work is Garmin smart watches. I wanted one of those but everything I read says they don't connect properly through the Garmin connect app with Huawei phones.

    Post Android Auto

    Any change? Just got a vw golf with android auto and am mega frustrated. Black screen because the phone keeps switching from USB data using mtp to USB charge only. Mate 9 with uk firmware EMUI 5.0.1 MHA-L09C432B198 Check for updates says there isn't one.

    Post If you're on the fence about buying this tablet, well just don't. Yet...

    I've had a Tab S3 for a year now, and am absolutely delighted with it. Previously a Tab S, that was getting long in the tooth. Prior to that Nexus 7 and the updated version. The Tab S is as fast as I could wish for, and great battery life. I object to your characterisation of people who like...

    Post accessibility services keep turning off

    Actually I have found that it is a feature not a fault. I rang up Huawei to ask for help. What you need to do is go into Settings (swipe down from top, then cog wheel) > Battery > Close apps after screen lock Then scroll down to your 'problem' app, and switch to off. You might be surprised at...

    Post Tab S3 - looks to be coming soon.

    Tab S3 - it recognises my finger at an angle of about 10 degrees, in a slightly different part of the finger to that which I registered! Utterly weird. It never recognised my thumbs at any angle or location. No I have never tried using thumb recognition to buy an app - but then I hardly buy...

    Post S note

    I found the 15 version would install, but the more recent one (17) had a name clash and refused to install.

    Post Beware of auto-sleep cases for Tab S3

    Yes, it is bad news. I've read this in several reviews of different magnetic lock cases on Amazon, and seen a few photos of dead spots in drawings. But the Samsung case gets poor reviews because it didn't stay shut and because the tablet is not held in very securely. The keyboard case doesn't...

    Ah. Thanks. Sorry I misunderstood. I now realise this was about Asia firmware

    Post Accessibility issues

    Settings>battery>close apps after screen lock then find the app and toggle to OFF works for Roboform. Accessibility finally remains ON. That is not where I would look to find what everyone calls "ignore battery optimisation" and it has taken a while to find the correct setting to change. I'm...
