Fixes for some flaws I see. - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

Hello,
been loving my mate 10 which I own for 3 weeks now.. but there are just somethings that keeps bugging me. I try to check hi care to see but don't to use the phone to talk about something I know the support from our country can't answer.. So here are some questions that you guys might have some solution to...
1. Notofications DPI - been trying to resize this via dev mode, but to no avail.. Is it just me or that thing is really big?
2. mini display view when not using nav bar - no instructions how to do this is you don't like to use the nav bar and maximize the screen.
3. PiP - i know this doesn't work in youtube unless you are a red subscriber but, it doesn't work with chrome as well..
I'll try to add more if I see some, but the 1st one is tbd biggest problem I have. I tried going to a huawei store and they just showed me the mate 10 pro and p10 capable of minimizing font in notifs when view mode is set to small...

3. PiP work on chrome. Try to stream video, and long press home button. For me it will minimize the video.

Eh? Im not sure i understand...
Just installed it, amazing app, i was actually looking for something like this yesterday! I wanted a way to lock my screen while watching movies so I wouldn't exit fullscreen mode accidentally.
Thanks!

Downloading now. I imagine this ould be used to block palm detection for drawing like on Sketchbook Pro and the sort. I'll edit this after a review. Thanks for the opportunity.
What? Palm detection? I think it will only work on a few devices...
I wish I could use this for the soft keys on the navigation bar. It would really help cause I'm left handed (I keep hitting the back/home keys by mistake when I'm writing on my Prime).

OK after using it today, i found it pretty straightforward and simple to use.
Found only one small bug,when playing a video, on YouTube, stock player or whatever, if you touch the screen the on-screen controls jump on, you cannot press them, but the UI do popup.
And one suggestion, the resizeable square where you select the zone to be blocked from touches should have at least a small pad or something to drag it. Once the square reaches the borders it gets really hard to pick again.

On the latest ICS update. Go to settings/ASUS customized settings/system bar lock/enable system bar lock. Now you won't hit the home key or any softkey buttons.

I don't think it can be used for that. You could use TouchScreenTune app, paid version can handle palm detection on our device.
This app is for blocking areas of the screen.

[Q] how to force flash videos to full screen?

Hi,
Im sure most of you will look at it as a stupid question
But im an android noob, so sorry in advance.
My question is this:
When I'm trying to play a flash video on my HTC one internet browser I don't have the option to make it play in full screen.
The best I can do is flip the phone to landscape and try to fit the video to my screen.
Is there anyway to force it to play in full screen or to at least show a button to do so?
Maybe I'm missing some sort of update to be able to this natively?
Thanks in advance.
Press the button that says full screen just like you would on a computer
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I don't have that button.
It only shows up on Chrome browser.
But not in the default internet app, nor in Firefox
Any time there's a flash video it should look exactly like it does on the computer so unless you post pictures of what you're talking about I can't really help you

Alright I got some screenshots.
The one with the grey box is Firefox
The other one is the native internet app
Dunno why it only uploads 1 attachment.
Here's the Firefox one

before you start the video their was 4 choices at the bottom to view in Auto/HD/high/low-rez
choose HD turn phone on it's side and scroll down a little its full screen now.
I also found in the stock browser you have to enable flash in the settings and it also went full screen with a double tap on the screen
I don't know how it shows on your screen, but even when choosing HD it's still the same.
Native app is even worse, all the touch controls seem corrupt.
Just wanted to add that its been like that since day1.
And that's even after doing a clean flash of 4.3 about 2 weeks ago.

native browser is not bad but the controls are strange on GameSpot
tap around it will go full screen and works like any other YouTube video for me
Yup, tapping the lower right corner in the native app worked just fine and went full screen.

How to disable Hisearch, and debloat?

Guys, got my mate 20 Pro and it's a beast but, that REALLY annoying Hisearch thing is driving me nuts! I can't find a way to turn it off!
To be clear, this is the thing that if you swipe down on the screen brings up Hisearch. Trouble is, it happens all the time when pulling down the notifications. Who thought this was a good idea?!
Also, while I have you.... Is there an easy way to remove some of the stubborn Huawei crap apps? Previous on other phones, I've used something like Package Disabler Pro that didn't require root. Anything similar available that works without root?
Thanks, Pete.
I think accidentally bring HiSearch up is amuscle memory thing.
Providing you start the Swipe down from the sides of the notch (ie from on top of the notifications) then (for me at least) it reliably brings up the notifications only.
If you start the Swipe down from on top of the notch it's a little hit & miss whether you get notifications of Hi Search.
Swiping down from the middle of a screen reliably brings up HiSearch.
Well, I'm new to Huawei, so maybe I'll get used to it..
All the same, I don't like it, and would rather disable it or have the option to turn it off.
Agreed. I have a Google calendar agenda widget on one of the home screens. Every time i scroll down, the hi search come up. It's infuriating.
As far as I know, the only way to get rid of it is to switch the launcher. I use Nova, but you'll have to use the navigation bar instead of gestures otherwise the home gesture animation doesn't work properly.
Thanks, Nova has Indeed stopped it.
TBH, I really should have done that anyway shouldn't I?
I like the traditional 3 button setup anyway, so nothing lost for me.
Thanks again.
HiSearch is horrible. I also used to use a package disabler pro but that won't work on this mate 20Pro.
That HiSearch swipe is looking more and more like a Bixby button that can't be remapped.

Thanks! Just what I need. That warning headline looks pretty scary lol to a guy not adept at command line. :-O
Fortunately looks like everyone is having good success and no side effects of removal yet. I'm gonna break out of my comfort zone and take the plunge. That HiSearch is truly abysmal, insultingly so.
I'm gonna do a little happy dance in the grave of HiSearch once it's dead and gone.

Ok cool, totally understand. Exceeded my thanks quote for the day so here is one instead. :good:
It makes scrolling widgets unusable such as fenix or BBC news.... So 3rd party launcher for me. + I want the dock hiding too
You can get rid of Hi-Search with the surgical removal listed above. So far no-one has reported any side effects from doing so. What drives me nuts is that Android doesn't have the split pulldown as rule of law. Pull down ANYWHERE on the left or right to either swipe down your normal notifications screen or just the raw full system settings icons. Disabling Hi-Search doesn't help if you still have to dislocate your thumb to scrounge around on the 3 pixels that will trigger the pulldown.
it's a long time since nobody wrote here but, hey new stuff for XPERTz:
2 mobile phones: Huawei P9 Lite - Huawei Y7 2018 & no ****ing com.huawei.search package inside to remove! How's that possible? (I got rid of all the bloatware I could, using pm unistall etc... BUT CAN'T REMOVE HISEARCH )
Let me give you the chance to become more than XPERTz...

Picture In Picture Not working

Hi guys I've noticed that after update 146, PiP mode for almost any app is not working. I've checked and the option for picture in picture is enabled. For example Youtube stops playing immediately after I exit the app and enter another, and no matter what I do I can't trigger PiP. However PiP in Huawei Videos is working fine.
How is this option for you? Can you get it to work or do you have any solutions?

I think you need a YouTube subscription for it to work in the background including the PiP mode
Well I didn't know that. Thanks! But isn't at least supposed to continue playing in the background? I was using iPhone since 2007 and on iPhone, it continues playing even if you exit the app.

I find PIP to be so unreliable. Yes, it's definitely not working on many of the apps
Hello i think that find the problem. the PIP work when the select the control with the 3 button on parameter system. But if you select the control by gesture, the PIP not work, not youtube, not google maps Why ?
If you use gestures you should be able to get pip by swiping to the recent apps, YouTube, vanced, chrome, ECT all working fine with me, I'm using fluid gestures.
There is a older thread somewhere about this.
For me it does not work. I have a huawei mate 20 pro android 9. Do you know how? Because actually on the honor 9 lite with android 8 it works well
Gestures seem to mess up the pip mode
When I go into YouTube and then swipe up to go home, the YouTube playing minimizes down into the YouTube icon on the desktop. When I use the three button navigation it works as it should. Note this is only an issue when I'm using the Huawei default home launcher. EMUI 9.1 android 9
Problem:
The Picture-in-picture window does not appear for apps such as Google Maps and YouTube when the user swipes to return to the home screen.
Cause:
Currently, the Picture-in-picture feature does not support the Gestures navigation mode.
Solution:
Go to Settings > System > System navigation, and set the navigation mode to Three-key navigation.

Question Gesture Navigation Bar/Pill/line whatever its called

Hi,
is there a way to get rid of the Navigation Line at the bottom of the Screen when using gesture mode? Asus unfortunatly doesnt give the option like Samsung for example to hide it.
im a noob and dont know if theme modification is a thing at all or if i must switch completely to a different OS
thank you very much!

unfortunately it is not possible to remove the pill by making Asus native gestures work. What is possible is to remove the pill (using the entire screen) and use gestures from third-party applications. For me it is the best option. root is required

On March 31, Asus released an update (WW-33.0804.2060.113) that allows you to hide the navigation bar. There's a new learning curve when navigating with gestures without the navigation bar, and after a month like that, I don't miss the navigation bar.

Buggy navigation pill swipe from home on latest update
