    Post Help - Huawei data management services is eating my battery

    I got this issue two update ago. Now on .243. I did a factory reset and set up my phone from scratch. No restores from Google drive or Huawei phone clone. The issue is gone since. Battery as good as ever.

    Post Change Watermark on Photos?

    As far as I know. Nope. Been using Chinese made phones for a long time. All their watermarks are unchangable. Maybe there is a 3rd party app that can add custom watermarks to your photos.

    Post Mate 20 PRO - Is performance mode worth it?

    Yes. It is useless. There is no need to keep your CPU running at maximum in everyday usage. The phone can auto detect graphics intensive and CPU hungry apps, it will adjust automatically to the needs of different apps. Use the phone as it is for the best stress free experience. (Damn, I sound...

    Post Mate 20 PRO - Is performance mode worth it?

    The performance mode was meant for a higher score on benchmarks. Huawei and a few other OEMs were accused of detecting popular benchmark apps and purposely tune their software to score higher on benchmarks. The performance mode was a result of public demand.

    Post is there any actual cache cleaning tools for 9

    I know from another tread that you uninstalled the power genie on your phone. Don't install your power genie.... The phone itself should be able to pick up power consuming apps and stop them. It also give you a list of wake ups by apps. Don't judge the battery life by numbers. Those are an...

    Well said! I always keep my battery between 90% and 30%. Once a month I will let it drop to single digit percentage and then SLOW charge it up all the way to 95%.

    Yes mate 20 will have newer features and likely 9.1. have to wait 2 months. That was the time for mate10pro to be updated to android 9 and the night mode feature.

    Post Charging cycle

    Keep my charges between 30% and 90%. But then again, Huawei official service center can reply the battery for around 19SGD. So that is very cheap even if your battery were to deteriorate very fast.

    You can try restarting your device to check if they stayed enabled. If it does, then they are pretty likely to remain stay enabled in the future.

    Post Mate 20 Pro region change

    I think you meant Huawei app gallery. No, it doesn't work. To OP. Is your phone bound by carrier? If no, it means it is an international unlocked version. VPN wouldn't solve your issue. Your best bet is to insert another country's SIM card into your phone and hopefully receive that country's...

    Post Downloaded Services won't stay enabled.

    The cause I am not sure. I only know the downloaded service for Nova Launcher gets auto turned off if you switch back to Huawei launcher. However, it does NOT get auto switch off when you remain on nova launcher.

    Post Mate 20 x to replace the pro?

    Do you really need that big of a screen? You need it for documents or gaming? Bigger screen also means bigger battery usage. Such a huge phone is hard to hold. It may be damaged/dropped more often.

    Post New Update: 9.0.0.183 (Nova Launcher Compatibility fixed?)

    The gesture navigation works ALMOST perfectly with nova launcher. This is the best I could ask for. But just let me point out some scenarios that it stutters a little bit. 1. The animation when close an app is gone. You can't see the app fading into its position on the home page. 2. The...

    I sometimes have this issue with nova launcher as well. You can go battery settings > app launch > turn the two apps to manual manage. It may solve this issue of them auto turning off.
