    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...

    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.

    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...

    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 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...

    Post Tab S3 - looks to be coming soon.

    Thumb recognition is utterly annoyingly useless. Worse than the swipe fingerprint recognition on my original tab s. When Huawei can do it so extremely well (on my Mate 9) it beggars belief that a company with the resources of Samsung can release this dross.

    Post accessibility services keep turning off

    Same here with Roboform password manager on Mate 9 with EMUI 5.0 . All system settings give it permission and exemption from optimization. But accessibility is turned off after a very short time of the phone screen being off. There has to be something strange going on.

    Post Is Mate 9 battery actually rubbish? Honest thoughts please

    Mate 9 battery is far and away the best I have ever had. Usually above 50% by the end of the day. WiFi, Bluetooth, mobile data, NFC, location (tracked in google), step count always on. Even using GPS for a golf app that measures distances for the 4 hours I'm out, it still stays above 40%.

    Post How to update from 126 to 138 OTA ?

    Mine was updated to 128 this morning, but only after I had looked for updates. There was a red dot next to uodates but I had to manually accept It. 380MB took a few seconds to download, then had to reboot. Mind you, it only includes you December 2016 security update!

    Post Is there an app that will shut my screen off?

    A single tap icon to turn off screen would be great. The floating thing is cumbersome. There is a power bar widget in the UK phone but it only turns off wifi etc. There's a reboot widget too. The bit in the middle is missing. The external app I tried took from 3 up to 15 seconds to fully switch...

    When I got my phone on Friday, the weather app is on the home screen, and it showed a location that is not real. It says "Elvet and Gilesg..." which isn't a location you can search for, and isn't a location that anyone locally would use. Besides, it looks daft as it cuts off partway through...

    You're right, I did take it personally. Sorry I misunderstood you. There do however seem to be many of those threads I've read where the card works on a PC, or in a camera, but not in a Samsung galaxy device. My personal experience is currently that 50% of them have problems.

    I object to your accusation, ashyx. As it happens my wife has a Samsung galaxy tab s, so earlier this evening I tried my first 64GB Samsung evo card in that. It has worked flawlessly, allowing me to set myself up as a new user and install the apps that would not install on my own tab s.
