Widgets stop updating - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Please help ... My widgets stop updating after deep sleep {if my phone screen is of for about an hour}
I have added the widget app in ignore battery optimization and enabled auto start and run in background in battery optimization .. still the widget stops updating ..
Any help is appreciated

there is a reason the battery is so good. the phone is basically shutting down when idle. You need to go in tot the settings and exclude the app/widget from the battery optimisations.

as i stated before , i did remove it from the battery optimizations but still the widget stops working after sometime

Sorry, there must be an associated process that is sleeping. Have you tired removing all battery optimization for a while just to check? Might be worth emailing the Dev. They may know what is happening.

ill try that ,,, thanks for the idea , ill report back .

i disabled all battery optimizations , still the widget stops updating after some time , the strange thing is that the widget has manual refresh button , but after some time that button also disappears check the picture below

I tried that app for myself. Doesn't update automatically for me as well. However other widgets that auto updates frequently works fine. So it should be a fix to be done by the app developer for this specific app.

What firmware are you running on the phone?

The latest from huawei 8.0.0.115
I have another problem .. some times when i switch on the screen everything changes to very small even the navigation bar icons .. its like the resolution changes and everything will be small .. ill.post a screenshot when it happens again .. a workaroung i go to screen resolution and change from hd to fhd then back to hd and the icons and text comes back to normal size

I have the widget problem as well (on .115, C636). I'll report back if I find a solution.

I also have the widget problem on my ALP-L29 ".115 (c636)" and it's really bugging me!
Whichever phone I use, I set up the BBC News and BBC Sport pages as two full screen widgets to the left of my home screen. They're great apps/widgets which means everything I need to know is one or two swipes away.
After sleep, neither will refresh anymore. The sport widget actually has a manual refresh button but now the icon is just constantly spinning as if it's trying to constantly refresh.
Any help at all would be much appreciated.
These widgets were fine on my Mate 9.

115 C636. I have calender agenda widget which does not update automatically like it used to.

Same here.
Weather widget and News widget are working fine, BUT i tried 5 different calendar widgets from store and none of them did work (no refresh).
BLA-L29 8.0.0.115 (C432).
Did not have any problems on my former Mate 9.

Must be an Oreo thing. I contacted the developer of my calendar widget so let's hope he can fix it.

I am afraid to say that, but i contacted the developer of my widget also and he answered, that the widget is working fine with Oreo (Emulator).
I think it could be a problem with EMUI 8. Not sure, but i think at the beginning of the Mate 9 there were similar problems, that some notifications didnt work.
That was fixed with an update from Huawei.

Bad news so far folks, have updated to ".119 (c636)" via Funky Huawei and still no fix for both the widget problem and the issue of not being able to perform some actions from the notification shade (like delete Gmail emails).
Really hope this is fixed with next update or I may be tempted to get rid. Unacceptable for a 2017, Oreo phone!

By the way, I tried the same widgets with Nova Launcher and got the same problems. So it's something in Emui 8 or Huawei's version of Oreo that's causing the issues, not the stock launcher.

@Hymastar
Did you inform Huawei about this bug?

My developer of my troublesome widget says it works fine too. He thinks it must be EMUI killing the task in the background and not allowing it to run properly.

Hi, had a breakthrough of sorts!
I switched back to the standard/stock launcher and tried the option with no app drawer i.e. default setting.
Took me a while to organise all my apps into Huawei's fiddly little folders (can't stand icons everywhere!) BUT the widgets are working fine!
Just to clarify, the widgets in question are from the BBC News and Sport apps which I always use as full page screens to the left of my home page.
So, I'll stick with the non-app drawer launcher for now, but it doesn't really solve the problem as I much prefer having an app drawer... @Hudrator I wouldn't know how to go about contacting Huawei?

Forget the above post, after 12hrs or so (maybe a deep sleep) the widgets are once again failing to update regardless of home screen style.
Thought I had found a temporary fix...

Icons disappearing

So twice now my icons disappeared on me. The only programs I can access will be the ones listed in the recently open list. I have to reboot to get the icons back.
Anyone else getting this? Also, I don't think I am doing much of anything but switching between apps. Thanks.
Little more info please?

I got this too last night
a lot of times when an app automatically updates, it removes the icon. looks at the icon that disappeared and see if it was automatically updated in the market.
Every icon installed and apps/games, widgets. I mean everything disappears. You can't even swipe left or right to get to your other desktop. The only things you can access are the home (which really doesn't do anything because you are already home), recently opened apps, and the back (which again will not do anything). Settings work too but that's it. To get everything back, you will need to reboot.
Icons also going invisible
Add me to the group of people who lose all their icons. This happens to me several times a day. The icons are still there just invisible. If i touch the right spot I can launch things as normal. I can also change the background if I touch an empty area. But every single icon is gone and the entire background is displayed. Also the app button which I can touch and launch if I pick the right spot simply brings up a blank black background again with no apps/icons.
I do have the video issues on occasion where certain games blink/flash and lock up, but usually don't do this if I restart the tablet and run the game first thing. Also have the random occasional screen tearing especially when using a live background.
I'm looking forward to the February update and hope this fixes the issue. I'd reset the icon cache if I knew how but I'm not sure that's the issue. If anyone has ideas let me know.
Thanks
Possible cause?
Hi guys,
I didn't have this issue after upgrading to 4.0.3, but then sometime last week I did start having the same issue with the stock launcher "crashing" (well, it was still running, but in brain-dead mode where it won't display icons or widgets).
I started un-installing stuff and after about 4 hours of messing around I noticed that the launcher didn't crash when I had disabled "cool tool". (This is a really cool floating CPU graph.) Cool tool _seemed_ to work fine on my prime, and I had it floating over the status/button bar. But apparently it was, after running for a couple hours, causing openGLRenderer to run out of memory which caused the launcher to freak out.
At least that's my take on what was happening. Anyway, I'm using SeePU now, and I haven't had a launcher "crash" in a couple days. Maybe this isn't your problem, but I used "System Info Pro" (or something like that) to view the android log. Might help in troubleshooting? If this IS the root cause, I guess somebody should tell the developer...
Getting this thing loaded with apps & widgets AND staying stable and fast has been a challenge to say the least. But a fun one. I think?!

Same bug here. It happened to me a couple of time. I reported it to Asus Canada yesterday... But no news yet.
It looks like the "foreground" become transparent/invisible. The System bar still works. For me, I can even click on the invisible icons to start the apps.
The only work-around I found is to reboot my device.
I experienced the bug once more this morning. I tought it was related to "force GPU rendering", I had it enabled and since I disabled it, most of my bugs are gone.
But this morning again, the foreground became "transparent" and I was only seeing the background.
BTW, you could rename the thread: "Icons disappearing/transparent desktop".
Also, does version .13 fix this?
Same problem here.
Problem occus now a few times a day. All Icons/Widgets and app drawer icon are invisible but still clickable! Only a restart solves the problem or going to settings->apps->force close for the homescreen-app will solve it for some time.
Any Ideas or a statement from ASUS?

I reported the problem to Asus.
You should do the same, if it's not already done.
I have seen this 3 times in day or so...any one had any update on cause or fix other than reboot
Same here
Add me to the list as well... all icons go transparent ... only see the background ... can tap "invisible" icons and they work ...
I confirm it is still present in WW .15.
Sometime a "force close" of the Launcher is enough, but other time it happens again and again, only a reboot fix it (for a while). Beside this (annoying) bug, I consider my Prime very stable. Gmail sometimes crash, but it seems to be fixed (or less prominent in .15).
Asus Tech. Support suggested me to do a factory reset... Haven't tried it yet. I may also try an alternate Launcher (Trebuchet...) to see if it's only related to the Launcher or the system.
PS: Don't forget to report it to Asus Tech. Support.
I saw this for the first time today on the non-Prime TF101. I upgraded to the FOTA ICS update a couple of weeks ago (for which I've observed the same occasional resets as others) but this is the first time I've had this app problem.
Different desktops can be accessed, but they're all blank. Apps can be run from their invisible icons. The top-right app menu also has invisible apps which can be run.
I have a small (2.5MB 30s) video, if I manage to upload it.
I had a similar thing again since, but this time the icons returned when moving between desktops. I think the common thing I was doing was grouping apps together into single composite icons.
I'm not 100% sure, but since I cleaned up my home screens it does not happen anymore. I removed all my widgets except for gmail and calendar. And all my stuff is on one screen (thanks to folders).
You may try this too to see if it makes a difference.
Thanks. My screens were almost completely full. But I never saw this issue until I started using folders!
I got it the other day for the first time.
I had just downloaded Simplistic Text.
Rebooted, everything was fine--just assumed it had something to do with some file cleanup or something that didn't get done after the download.
Ah, and fyi, I'm running Honeycomb on the Japanese build. (They still haven't given us the damned ICS yet over here.)
All the icons disappearing used to happen to me a couple of times a day, with only a reboot fixing the issue.
Whilst trying to fix a constantly crashing GMail I removed the Beautiful Widgets home screen weather/clock widget and this amazingly fixed the disappearing icons and hasn't happened since. One down only another 101 bugs left to fix!
Hope this helps someone.

[Q] Widgets and Weather problems

Hello, I installed the app after receiving my beta key and I have to say this is the best app I have installed yet. I'm just having a few issues. The first is that whenever I set the weather widget to display the temperature in celcius is always changes back to fahrenheit after a few minutes. Secondly sometimes, not always whenever I reboot my phone no widgets will load so I have to reapply the theme. These aren't big problems and I know the app is still in beta, so these are bound to get fixed. Just wondering if there is anyway to fix them.
Thanks:fingers-crossed:
I can't even get the weather working, I did set up my location on the widget settings but it shows nothing at all.
Same goes for me. I think Ill wait for the next update.
Try saving as widget after finish changing. Auto save seems not working properly.

Im having some refresh issue's.
Using the calendar widget, it shows todays date, however Ive noticed it hasnt updated today, and still shows todays date as yesterdays
Also, using the missed calls, unread text etc, I replied to a text, and the counter stayed at 1. it eventually went to 0, not sure when, but I was using my phone for a good 30 mins or so, and the counter never changed.
The weather thing isn't that big of an issue, but the widgets disappearing after reboot is really annoying. I have a Nexus 4 and after reboot it asks me if I want to allow themer to create widgets. Even If I choose allow it will never create them again, so I have to reapply the theme.

In an upcoming version (very soon) we have put the weather temperature setting within the main Settings of the app, so that issue will be resolved.

Widgets dissapearing for me also on a reboot, I dont want to re-apply the theme as a workaround, as I have made changes, and if I apply the theme again, I assume it will overwrite my changes with the default theme I am going to apply again?

[BUGS] Zopo Speed 7 Plus Stock ROM ZP952 20150820-222820

Hello,
yesterday I posted some bugs in another thread in reply to a posting aiming the Zopo Speed 7 (without plus). But this is the Zopo Speed 7 Plus forum, so I guess it's a good idea to start a new thread.
After recognizing some bugs with the ROM installed on the phone and doing the OTA-Update I decided to set up the phone completely new with the ROM 20150820-222820, that can be found on zobomobile.
After restarting the phone, some bugs seemed to be fixed:
- Small window view (round clock) in combination with the smart cover seemed to work now
- Ringtones are loud enough (for me, maybe not for other users)
- Widgets still operate after restart
Then I did some settings and after a while the Small window view starts again to misoperate. Sudden fade outs, dead screen, not wake up with Power-Button... After some hours I discovered, that the setting, to set the screen brightness depending on amient light is causing the error. If you switch this option on, closing the smart cover seemed to teel the phone: it's totally dark, switch off screen. Ok, I do not really need this option.
After a couple of reboots the widgets started to keep empty again. Grr... Changing the Launcher did not help.
But a little good news: I started Google Maps Navigation and the screen stayed on several hours. No sudden switch off anymore.
And the GPS fix is now in less than 5 seconds.
Maybe someone can find out, how to fix this annoying bug with the widgets.
Other bugs:
- if you change the default launcher with other one, at reboot the phone not save the settings of new launcher and return at default
- the notification of some apps not worked (Facebook, Whatsapp, Tapatalk, ecc.) unless you starts to the apps the first time
I will update as soon as there are others

For widget bug I found a solution but you must have a root. App which widgets you use you must transfer in the system.
With FX File Explorer (you must first install the root addon) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx easily transfer it any app in the system.
For example I use HD Widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cloudtv.hdwidgets&hl , find HD widgets directory, transfer from data -> app directory in the system -> app directory and reboot. After the boot all widgets from HD Widgets app working normally and smoothly. So I did the same for a few programs and all operating normally :good:
I suppose I do the same with Nova Launcher
From:
To:
Some have a problem with a low sound in the speaker when ringing.
The solution is very simple.
With MTK Engineering Mode https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.themonsterit.EngineerStarter&hl go to MTK Settings -> Software Testing -> Audio -> LoudSpeaker Mode and under level set to Level 6, SET SET. That's it. Now the ringer is even too loud.
In fact the sound through the speakers is enhanced, music, youtube, etc.

I fixed this by rooting and deinstalling the stock launcher with titanium backup. I am using nova launcher instead. Works smoothly.

Works :good:
But the system/app folder has to be mounted as read-write first. Default is read only.
Now I can usw my weather and calendar Widgets normally. Thanks for this solution
Moving to system/app fixes notification problem
Hi, your widget-solution even fixes the problem with apps using an service in the background to receive notifications. :good:
I know bug with the Zopo Speed 7 plus (I guess the Speed 7 also) is that some Apps do not receive notification events in the background.
On my phone neither Whatsapp nor Threema receive ANY notifications after reboot. You have to open the App and after several seconds the
app start to receive sent messages from others. Even if they where sent hours ago. That is really annoying .
After closing the App it receives messages for a little time and then it seems, the App AND its background service is killed by Android. The
killing-algorithm seems to be set to VERY VERY agressive. That's absolutely unnecessary with 3 GB of ram. On my old HTC One X plus I had
1 GB and al works like a charm.
First I got the autostart control feature of the Zopo Speed 7 Plus in mind, but no settings (Allow all, Allow Whatsapp/Threema, Deny all etc.)
did work.
Then I thought of your solution, to fix the Widget problem by moving the Apps to system/app. And voila - it works. Whatsapp and Threema
are starting after reboot and stay online all the time. Even after several hours.
But: Are Apps moved to system/app still getting updates via the Play Store?!? I could not find out.
Thanks but...
Thanks for your hint, this could be a solution for this annoying bug. But, i got some questions to do so:
- do i need root? F. e., the system/app is read only, so i think i have to root and change the settings?
- direct moving doesn't work because play store apps are not stored as apk-files, so i have to get an apk-file to move from /download to system/app?
Thanks for your reply, Thomas

BLA L29, Various bugs & issues [update: replaced device which was defective]

So, i've had the BLA - L29 C436 (mate 10 pro EU) for a couple of days and these are my good views and bad views on it :
Cons :
- had issues with a message form android system that i can't away . a) even if i go into the notification -> system apps -> Android system and take all the notifications to off. b) when you normally tap "done" it should go away, which it doesn't . This for apps that normally "display over other apps" like blue light filters.
- had issues with wifi. Some times it works well (full download speed) sometimes it doesn't. Especially on spotify wen normally my home speed is at 7megs/second, there it performers at 200kb/sec.
- had issues also with "full screen apps". On my Note8, i normally don't have issues, but here... it bugs.
- seems like the Kirin 970 (AI?) doesn't want to work well with certain apps, as they seems really slow. Maybe it needs more time to know my habits, but sometimes i really have the impression of big lags
- Overall the UI seems and bit buggy... I hope they come out with an update soon
- No push on native email app with a google account (????!!!).
- Some issues with TeslaUnread (Nova launcher plugin) numeris badges that flick on the main home screen, and more precisely with the email app.
- They advertised the "dynamic lockscreen wallpaper" that isn't yet available, Apparently it's coming with an update / or has already been released for C636.
- They still didn't understand to separate notifications and ringtone volume. The two are still working in pair
Pros
- Very good cellular reception. Apparently it has a very high SAR so that might be the reason.
- Camera isn't bad at all - but maybe not worth the Note 8 with Camera mod. Still testing it.
- Battery life (but the phone is still young)
Any ideas how to get that annoying "system" notifications away?
update 21/11 : Called Huawei today, they said these issues are not normal, so brought it back to the shop got a new one... i'll be testing in the future days to see if i get the same issues.

If you are talking about the "xxxxx app is running in background" that is something introduced in Oreo and has nothing to do with EMUI

No my issue is more about the overlay.
Anyhow,
had too many issues with it at the moment. Even the BT in my car today got cut when i got a message while listening to some music... and then never reconnected right away.
I'm putting it in quarantine until a firmware will come out and fix these wifi, overlay, bt, fullscreen issues i have.
sweet dreams M10pro (firmware 115 on C436)
Sadly android Oreo is still new. A lot of other handsets are still in beta. Huawei was brave to release it with Oreo straight away but they couldn't really release it with Nougat or there would be complaints. Have faith and patience in the firmware updates but don't lose faith in the hardware. It's a seriously impressive bit of kit.
Hi, I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) in Czech republic (from Wonda mobile)
Issues:
1) "Home button" always switch back to default launcher!! Please help! How to allow different launcher?
- It makes the phone unusable for me. :crying:
2) No updates found (- why? What about 119?)
3) It is not possible to configure virtual buttons / commands. <- EMUI feature?
- I miss: "Open menu" function and "Switch to the last app"
4) I do not want to use Lock screen! (magazine pictures is the default, impossible to disable it) <- EMUI feature?
Do you have any advice?

Go to apps. Default apps. And select your launcher.
I'm pretty sure there's an option somewhere to disable magazine picture. I came across it yesterday

1. Settings - Apps - Settings - default apps setting - Launcher
2. Maybe it haven't been pushed yet. Patience is a virtuo.
3. It is possible to configure buttons
Settings - Smart assistants - System navigation - Settings
Open menu disappeared from android many versions ago, I belive in Ginger Bread. It was replaced with 3 dots in GUI.
Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)
4. What do you mean you don't want to use Lock Screen?
If you have pin, pattern or finger print unlock you must have a lock screen. If you disable all security then when you open the phone it will go straight to your home screen.
Settings - Screen lock & password - Password

Aww man! Was hoping for a moment there we could install pro onto non pro and vice versa. Lol.
Anyway what was your original firmware number?
Your pro dual sim?
You noticed better battery on 120 from your original firmware?
This was done via FunkyHuawei of course right?
Thanks

Hi, I have ALP-L29 8.0.0.115(C636) in Czech republic (from Wonda mobile)
Issues:
1) "Home button" always switch back to default launcher!! Please help! How to allow different launcher?
- It makes the phone unusable for me. :crying:
2) No updates found (- why? What about 119?)
3) It is not possible to configure virtual buttons / commands. <- EMUI feature?
- I miss: "Open menu" function and "Switch to the last app"
4) I do not want to use Lock screen! (magazine pictures is the default, impossible to disable it) <- EMUI feature?
Do you have any advice?

Hi, thanks for your help
1) Yes, I was blind, sorry! - OK :good:
2) So 636 for europe is OK?
3) (I have "Open menu" in 7.1.2.) In some apps are not other way to open menu directly. :/
"Switch to last app is performed by double tapping recent apps (square button)"
- Yes, thanks! But this is not supported (?) by using fingerprint scanner (only default: tap=back, hold=home, swipe=recently)
4) I mean simply not use lock screen, passwords, pattern , etc. So that the last application or screen is always displayed when the display is turned on.

Huh... wrong thread maybe?
I have a bug, with gmail, i changed the option so i can delete emails directly from the notifications. But it doesn't work well, sometime i can touch "delete" and it works, but most of the time nothing happens. The "respond" works well. Only happens with gmail.
Was on BL09 with the issue, changed to BL29 to debloat phone and issue still here.

So, i've had the BLA - L20 C436 (mate 10 pro EU) for a couple of days and these are my good views and bad views on it :
Cons :
- had issues with a message form android system that i can't away . a) even if i go into the notification -> system apps -> Android system and take all the notifications to off. b) when you normally tap "done" it should go away, which it doesn't . This for apps that normally "display over other apps" like blue light filters.
- had issues with wifi. Some times it works well (full download speed) sometimes it doesn't. Especially on spotify wen normally my home speed is at 7megs/second, there it performers at 200kb/sec.
- had issues also with "full screen apps". On my Note8, i normally don't have issues, but here... it bugs.
- seems like the Kirin 970 (AI?) doesn't want to work well with certain apps, as they seems really slow. Maybe it needs more time to know my habits, but sometimes i really have the impression of big lags
- Overall the UI seems and bit buggy... I hope they come out with an update soon
- No push on native email app with a google account (????!!!).
- Some issues with TeslaUnread (Nova launcher plugin) numeris badges that flick on the main home screen, and more precisely with the email app.
- They advertised the "dynamic lockscreen wallpaper" that isn't yet available, Apparently it's coming with an update / or has already been released for C636.
- They still didn't understand to separate notifications and ringtone volume. The two are still working in pair
Pros
- Very good cellular reception. Apparently it has a very high SAR so that might be the reason.
- Camera isn't bad at all - but maybe not worth the Note 8 with Camera mod. Still testing it.
- Battery life (but the phone is still young)
Any ideas how to get that annoying "system" notifications away?

ALSO what's kernel date?
I've got the standard Mate 10 and I haven't got any of the issues you described
FYI , my previous M10 Pro L29 - C432 had issues i would said dead on arrival style..
Huawei told me to bring it back, and thats what i did, and got a new ones.
Now things are working perfectly (except the overlay message i can't get rid of).
I just updated my firmware to 125 via FunkyHuawei (very easy to do if you follow the instructions (thumbs up to @duraaraa )
As per your questions :

I couldn't test the 120, as it was on the old ALP-L29 which was defective. But 125 seems stable and working well. I will only be able to tell you about battery in 3-4 days once i got some cycles in.
Update to firmware 125, still got the gmail notification bug. I test several launcher, seems a EMUI related bug cause i can delete the mail from notif with Nova launcher.

Huawei Mate 10 pro, homescreen won't go into landscape mode

Hi Members
I have the above phone, with all the latest OTA updates offered for my Huawei Mate 10 pro, its currently running Android 8 EMUI 8
I've noticed if I hold down the homescreen, then go to settings, there doesn't appear to be the option to allow the homescreen to rotate.
In the quick toggles the auto rotate is on, and all other apps do rotate into landscape so there's no hardware issue.
Does anyone have a solution to this, I've done all the obvious things like clear caches, turn on/of phone, reset the phone twice to factory.
I'm not running many apps, the phone is not rooted, and I wouldn't consider resetting the phone again (as this doesn't do anything)
My only default launcher is the Huawei 'My Home', one of Huawei's OTG updates changed this to being the only launcher.
I don't want to use another launcher, as this is Huawei system default (I don't really want other issues to appear if I was to run another launcher)
Thanks for any advise
Cheers
I don't think the stock launcher supports landscape mode.
If you split-screen with the gesture and have any of the second screen return to home you can see it rotates into landscape mode. Sadly thats the only way i know
Thanks for all the replys, hopefully Huawei will change this, maybe I'll have to consider running Nova launcher, I've heard Huawei doesn't allow it to be a default launcher though?
you can use whatever launcher you want if you dont use huawei widgets on it(primarily weather widget witch i disabled anyway cause i use another one) . I used nova since day one without issues. maybe there was bug on early software that prevented it but i never had issues.
I am on mate 10 no pro fw13 2c636
Original launcher. In screen enable screen rotate.
Works like a charm. Greetings
I used to have landscape mode too, until firmware update BLA-L09 8.0.0.137. It's gone since then.
thats strange. bla l29 on 137 firmware has that option. huawei probably screwed something up.
Yes, I am on BLA L09 8..0.0.137 (C432) kernel version 4.4.23+, and although I have the 'auto rotate' toggle and switch in settings, there isn't a specific switch or check box to allow Homescreen to rotate.
As you've said madman_cro, Huawei must have messed something up, unless they couldn't get some other aspect of the phone to work while in landscape, and they removed the setting.
I'll wait to see if they rectify it, I have sent Huawei an email
Thanks again everyone for the help
I had an email reply back from Huawei, they said they looked at the settings of a Mate 10 pro at there end, and confirmed that there was a checkbox picker for 'disabling homescreen auto rotation' , whether the phone they had looked into at there end had been fully updated to it's current UK status, I don't know.
I have sent back a reply with screenshots of my phone as it currently stands in the settings, Android version, and firmware version
I have the same issue, firmware 137 doesn't have landscape, plus it broke "OK Google" support on my phone...not happy
I've come to the conclusion that the whole Huawei Android/EMUI/hardware eco system has many glitches, and bugs.
I've also found there watch 2 Pro also seems very inconsistent, sometimes i'm getting notifications sometimes not.
And no amount of turning on and off, or resetting, or fiddling with settings permissions, or power policies, or notification allowances seems to sort things.
Huawei need to address these problems... or they risk losing customer business through unreliability issues.
Just let members know, I've had a reply back from Huawei support, and they have said it may be a bug with possibly there latest update, and that it may be resolved in the next update in due course.
I can confirm the same issue, it was working for me in BLA L29 8.0.0.137 (C432) and forced an update to BLA L29 8.0.0.142 (C432) and it was not working anymore.
Tested Nova launcher and this one works for rotation.
I have noticed too “Ok Google” not working until I clear cache/data from the application “Google” after that “OK Google” was back on track.
I did the same from Huawei 'My Home' but no luck.
I have try this update because of this:
- to see how it fix BlueTooth
- add facial recognition
- and if the issue (I would like to be fixed) about stereo channel swap when recording a video from rear camera from stock camera app)
Seb.
If you goto home screen, pinch gesture, setting, allow home screen to rotate
Took me ages to find this!
