What software version are you on Huawei live chat are trying to tell me it will be released in a software update I'm on 108 I think the person at huawei doesn't have a clue to be honest.
Could anyone pull the app for me please

I wander if it does come with the update, Hopefully someone can check if they have it on 108 or provide the app for me, last resort is a factory reset

It was present in 108 on mine and still there in 122.
In the tools folder, called "smart remote"

Not on mine at all I tried everywhere to find it even tried the honor forums everyone I find either won't install or found one which says its too old and auto deletes I assume they updated it for android 9 and no one has managed to extract it yet

How peculiar given it has an uninstall option, can't see it in the list of installed ones.

I don't think it will show in the play store as it's not a google app it's preinstalled with huawei in the original build from new, I have read a post in the p20 forum which says huawei told them to factory reset the phone which seems crazy considering it should be a straightforward apk file or available in their cr4ppy app store

Wonder if any of the other IR remote apps from Play Store would work?
Can't see why not.

They do but there just not very good I have an onkyo receiver and they just don't work with that and the UI is poor, I've used the huawei one before in my mate 9 and it worked and was very good. It's getting to the stage where I may factory reset as it's one of the main features I wanted but I just hate setting phones up it's so boring and the one thing they are so far behind apple for

It's on mine. Defaulted to the tools folder. At least I don't think I renamed that folder.

So did factory reset helped?
I'm in the same position and don't want to setup from scratch.
Is it possible that someone can extract the APK file?
I've tried the P20 Pro version but that one doesn't work.
Many thanks.

Here's a link to my Google drive. I extracted it. I'll keep it up for a few days.

Could someone please upload the smartcontroller apk for mate 20pro 9.0.0.183?

On mate 20 pro the app is called smart remote.
It's from build .187

Does Fortnite work on huawei mate 10?

Does Fortnite work on huawei mate 10?
Yes, I opted in for the beta and received the Fortnite installer in my emails from Epic Games about half an hour ago, however you can't install just yet, only Samsung devices can because of Epic Game's partnership with Samsung

Should be no issue when it's available. Device more than meets hardware requirements.
Yes, it does work, it appears on the epic games website and it says that the device is compatible to when you download the app, but it is not available yet for the moment
Has anyone tried modifying the APK? Wondering if it is a server side check or if it is just app verifying phones build fingerprint.

I got mine the first day it became available so pretty quick as far as I know
I joined the waiting list, got the email, downloaded the installer then the game (+ a couple of updates since), but when I launch the game it just tells me to "Get on the waiting list" again. When I click that it takes me back to the "sign up for email invite" again.
Any ideas ?
Cheers

Same here, there's a work around listed in their FAQ. Something like log out, close app and try again (several times) but it's not working for me.

NFL app not working - cannot cast to another screen

Hello,
I am encountering problems with the NFL app for my M5 tablet (WiFi version, CMR-W09, EMUI 8.0.0.168 (C432)). Whenever I open the NFL app, I see a black screen with a sentence saying "NFL app videos cannot be cat to another screen. Please disconnect your smartphone or tablet to watch video". I didnt connect a chromecast or anything like that to my M5. Anyone has some ideas?
Thanks!

this will not help you much , but I have similar issues with another app (Film1) showing similar behavior as you are describing. Huawei support told that the APP developer needs to update their app to make it compatible with Android 8. If you have another device with Andorid 8 try installing it there and see if works. Please let me know!

I have a Nokia 6 (2018) Android One smartphone (also runs Android 8). With the Nokia phone, the app runs totally fine.
Have the same issues with several apps here in Australia for the same reason.
Foxtel Go, and NRL App both give the same error.
Basically they are detecting that the M5 is casting to a larger or another screen, which is prohibited by those apps.
Huawei's screen mirroring/share software seems to be detected, even when not in use.
I don't think this will be resolved, Huawei need to do something, but I doubt they will
It's very disappointing.
I had this issue with a TV app on my device. Contacted the company and they said that it's a Huawei thing. Shortly after there was an update to the app and things are now working just as they should. Apparently it was an app thing after all...
So, put some pressure on the developers and they should be able to fix it.

Lets see if I will be able to pressure the developers of the NFL app ^^. If this shouldnt work there is always Lineage. I suppose it should work there.

If you have root, you could just disable the Huawei Mirroshare service.

Came across this thread because google play store says their phone app is incompatible with my redmi note 4.
Why is the phone app not available for xiaomi devices?

Because Xiaomi are an ecosystem company, like Google. They'd rather we used their apps; measures to restrict use of Google Apps enforce this

Computer Share not working after updating to EMUI 10.1 - The stub received bad data

Hi guys,
I really hope you guys can find a solution for this. The Computer Share feature under Huawei Share stopped working ever since I updated to EMUI 10.1, I also formatted my phone after the update.
After this, my PC refuses to connect to the device. I even googled for the solution but there aren't any. I even cleared the credentials but still it fails to connect.

Any kind of help would be appreciated.. thanks.

They just confirmed that is working ONLY with Huawei laptops (not all models!)! Shame! There are tons off apps which can do this. This is a rush to implement their own ecosystem, I guess, but without notifying users!

Yes. Previous attempt was while I had Google Play Services on my Mate 30 Pro which after 6-7 days stopped working. Then I've reset the phone back to stock and Huawei Share works great. I don't know if the GPS are the reason, but it's the single explanation.
