Didn't think I was going to replace my trusted Nexus 5X by a Mate 10 Pro but a number of incentives, at least in France, made me switch: -100€ for trading in an old (non working) phone, -29€ additional for bringing an IPhone 6Plus that I found when practicing freediving, a free Moleskine Smart Writing Set ($200 value) and finaly a free Google Home mini ($49 value). Looks like they really wanted me to go for the Mate 10 Pro!
Now before leaving the store I played around with the demo unit and got literally shocked when I couldn't find the Encryption status (Encrypted or not encrypted) under the security settings.
There are bunch of other options including the vault application but I'm looking for the Android system level encryption scheme, if any , that is used on that phone.
So my big question is.... what does the Mate 10 Pro use by defaut and what can be set? Full Disk Encryption (FDE) that results in a two-stage boot process or File Based Encryption?
As a result what can be seen under TWRP if not unlock code is provide, evertything, only the system but no /data, nothing until a unlock code is provided?
Thank you in advance for any feedback on that topic. I really don't want to return the phone for that.

Hello all, last night my Nexus 5X completely **** the bed -- bootloader freezes seem to be a typical thing with this device, as most Nexus 5X owners are aware. At the time of its unfortunate demise, the Nexus 5X was running Android O Developer Preview 3. Until the Pixel 2 comes out, I've got an older Nexus 6 running the July refresh of Android 7.1.1. The issue here seems to be with the standard Google Backup Transport. Specifically, I can't get the Nexus 6 (on Android 7.1.1) to recognize any form of Cloud backup of the Nexus 5X (on Android 8.0.0) and so I can't restore the settings from the dead Nexus 5X to the very much alive Nexus 6. With older handsets I was always given the option to restore data from other devices that I had tied to my Google account even before Google switched to the Google Drive-based backup solution. Now it seems that ever since I put Android O on my Nexus 5X that anything before Android O just can't see that data. This was also the case when I attempted to revert my Nexus 5X back to 7.1.1.. Even though it was the same device, it wouldn't recognize the Cloud backup that was generated from Android O. Is this typical of Developer Previews?
My problem here is that the only previously-active device on my Google account was the Nexus 5X. It had all of my saved settings tied to it. When trying to configure this Nexus 6, I am missing out on my list of applications, custom dictionary, wifi networks, date / time preferences, and all of that other goodness. With all of that said.. Am I completely boned? It would be a shame to lose years of custom dictionary additions, among other things. I know it's not the end of the world but it's definitely obnoxious..
Thanks in advance.
Hi all, this is probably a well-known issue by now but here goes...
Changing data usage cycles in the new EMUI 8 on the Mate 10 is now impossible.
The old workaround of using the "Activity Launcher" app does not work anymore. The "Shortcut Master" app works (requires searching the settings string) but launching the shortcut goes straight to the initial "Settings" page for general settings. This begs the question, did Huawei completely remove this from stock Android for EMUI 8?
I've been trying to work out how to change the date with no luck - pretty ridiculous that I can't!

I'm on BLA-029 (Mate 10 Pro) 132 Firmware, C636 region and I can confirm that a new setting has been added to specify the start day where you monthly mobile data limit resets itself to zero.
It's good to hear that the feature has been built now... this is the first phone I've had in years where it can't be set and seems so basic compared to all the really complex stuff this phone can do without breaking a sweat.
I'm currently on 8.0.0.129 C432 region, so hope that the new feature you've seen in C636's .132 version makes its way to a new version of C432 soon!
Hi Guys, i'm coming straight from Huawei, now to OnePlus 7T Pro. I expierenced a poor Performance on Notifications. I was a long term iPhone user and i can say on iOS i don't had this problems. Now with my second android device in a row.
It's kind of confusing why Google can't handle this problem.
Anyone has a Pixel Device and can share his experiance with it? It's really kind of anoying that you won't get any notifications until you unlock your Screen / Device.
For example if you sell something on ebay you won't get notification about the Auction till you manually open the app. Then the notifications rush in with the bids on the item.
Also i expierenced the same issue with the Calender App. On iPhone you will get a notification exactly as planed. On Android Devices i really have to manually unlock the phone, just to experience that i missed an appointment.
I will not say that iOS is better, but it looks like Apple can handle they'r Power Management way better than Google.
I have the same problem now with OnePlus as i had with Huawei the Huawei was the Mate 20 Pro with Android 9 and the OnePlus 7T Pro comes with Android 10.
Do i have to change something inside the Device / Power Management to get my Notifications back ? What do i wrong?
Hi all,
i need your help on this, please.
The husband of a friend of mine died recently - and now she wants to get the photos of him and their children from his phone.
But she doesn't know the lockscreen pattern and cannot access the phone to backup the photos.
Phone: Huawei P30
adb: not activated
root: not rooted
google account: is accessible
Backup to google cloud: not activated
Do you guys have any idea if there is any possible way to reset/remove the lockscreen pattern to be able to backup the photos?
Is there any possibility to root the device without wiping?
She would be probably willing to buy any kind of hardware/flasher-box, if the feature would be available.
I personally did a lot with hardwaretools like AdvanceTurboFlasher a few years ago, when windows lumia phones where up-to-date...
But i have no idea about android.
So i thought, maybe you know a software or hardware method...
Thanks for your help!

The door to any Android device - will say it's Android OS - is ADB. If this door isn't opened you can't get into Android OS and perform some basic actions.
I can read all huawei pin/password/pattern, but the price is high

have this kids tablet pbskd7200, it looks like it's from 2020.
We bought it used as a gift to one of my nephews, it was complete, pretty much open box quality, but it's running a full fat Android 10 instead of Android go edition.
Judging from the specs this tablet should be able to run Android 10. Every app, game, including settings all crash and default to home screen (I disabled all pbs apps via adb, also all useless bloatware)
I tried everything to fix this, my last hope is to find a older version of Android, but I can't find any guides or roms to flash. Or a light weight one
Would be great if someone can send me a link to a rom or guide to do this. Oem is unlocked from the developers settings.
please share screenshot of phone info
