Hey!
I'm a big fan of Google Pay and use it everywhere I can with my Mate 20 Pro. Unfortunatley Huaweis 3D Face Scan is not yet accepted by Google as a valid und secure unlock method. For larger payments
I have to use my fingerprint or code. Do you guys know if this will change in the future since the Pixel 4 now uses a similar unlock method which works with Google Pay in Android 10?
I was about to ask a similar question. Does anybody know if the face unlock on the mate 20 pro will hook into the new android 10 biometric unlocking?

I was under the impression that on Android pie Google would allow all biometrics as options to login to apps instead of fingerprint only.
Is anyone successful with this?
I'm guessing no as face recognition isn't very secure.
Having said that I use the fingerprint sensor.

This is not the standard face recognition that most android phones use. This is with a dot projector and infrared light like the iPhone X models
I think it requires 3rd party developers to implement. Can't really see this happening as only a few phones have the 3d face scanning built in. I mean I think even Huawei doesn't have any apps that uses this technology i.e vault or secure notes.

I haven't tried my banking app yet but google pay uses it.
It is also just as secure as fingerprint and as secure as iphone.

It was just my understanding that Google implemented it for Pie the same way as for iOS. The apps for ios is just coded for biometric. No need to specify if it should be faceID or an older touchid phone.
So the apps should just ask for biometric authentication and therefor it should use whatever I has active.
The app developer would need to code it for FaceID, both my banking apps have settings within the app to use fingerprint login, there would be a setting required to provide faceID login likewise. The same also applies to my phone carriers usage meter, they have only just modified it for fingerprint login.

There is currently no Android standard for face unlock so using it as an identification for banking apps or making payments would be very insecure. Different Android phones currently use different methods to implement face unlock and some of those methods can be bypassed with a photograph.
Hi, I need to turn of the duty cycling of the GNSS (GPS) chip on my mate 20 pro. I was under the impression that it should be an option in the developer settings in Android Pie, as it is in other phones, but there is no such option for Mate 20 Pro.
Does anyone know why and better yet how to solve it? I must turn off the duty cycling for my research project. Thanks!
hey do you find the way to turn off?

Huawei P30 Pro EMUI 9.1
Hello did you find a solution to your problem? I am an owner of the Huawei P30 Pro with the latest release of EMUI 9.1. I can’t find how to disable the duty circle on GNSS raw data measurement (there is no option under the android developer settings on my Huawei Device). In some smartphones duty circle can automatically disabled when you call android GNSS raw data API. Does the Huawei supports this feature or we can not disable duty circle on Huawei smartphones at all? Thanking you in advance.

hello I communicated with the engineer of huawei only to know the EMUI doesnt support disabling the duty cycle. Are you trying to use the carrier-phase for RTK or PPP ?
Duty Cycle
Yes I am trying to develop an app using the kernel of the RTKLIB open source library for PPP and RTK purposes. I have already tested this with XIAOMI MI8. I am also interesting in buying the new Xiaomi Mi 9 with Qualcomm 855 in build gps chip. Did you ever test the Xiaomi Mi phones? I also have already test the mate 20 pro for dual frequency carrier phase measurement. In order to implement the L5 frequency on this model, you have to update to EMUI 9.1. But this issue with duty cycle is critical so I can not support this model also with the P30 Pro.

hello. Thanks for reply. I wonder how you turn off duty cycle of mate 20 pro? My mate 20 pro has already been updated to EMUI 9.1 But I still cant find the option:"Force full GNSS measurement" .
I dont have access to XiaoMi 8. Would you please send me a Rinex file made by xiaomi 8 ? Thank you.
Xiaomi Mi 8 Rinex File
Yes for sure. Here is a link with a Rinex File from Xiaomi Mi 8 that i have recorded today with Rinex On App.

Hello,
I know, it's an old post !
Finally, is there a way to avoid duty cycling on P30 and othe huawai phones ?
I recently bought a Pocophone with the idea of installing LineageOS. Actually, I was looking for models where I could install it, since I want to remove google and vendor bloat apps.
Just after unboxing it, I went to check how to unlock the bootloader, and I faced a really cumbersome process:
- Register an account, providing email, phone and wait an SMS to confirm.
- Login your phone and wait 72h with the phone powered on and Synced with MI cloud (wtf?)
- Download an unlock tool that only works in Windows. I'm a Linux user so I had to setup a VirtualBox VM to proceed.
I didn't want to use my brand new phone and add all my contacts and stuff and then Sync everything to Xiaomi servers. To me this looks like a data collection policy to get as much as they can from Google et al. forcing users to Sync with a long enough wait time window.
Why don't use a more user friendly process like Motorola and others do???
I totally regret choosing Xiaomi, and now I'm going to try to sell it just because of this.

Just use a 3rd party app to sync your data or just backup them. There are tons of apps on the PlayStore.
And about the unlocking procedure, this is just a standard procedure and it is for safety measures. Like confirming that your Xiaomi Model has bounded to its real model number because there are tons of fake and clone Mi Phones on the market and registering your phone on their servers that your phone model is unlocked. Good thing though that the unlocking for Poco is only for 3 Days, other models I heard is about 1-3 months.

To start with, even for Poco F1, the wait time was 3 months. Then they shortened that step by step and it is now 72 hours. The official explanation was that since the phone was not launched simultaneously in all the countries, some retail vendors (in countries where it was not then launched) bought the phone in bulk, unlocked the bootloader and installed various apps (in addition to the pre-installed bloatware) including malware and then sold them in retail. It was to avoid this and to ensure that a genuine owner is using the phone before allowing the unlock that they devised this method.
These all sound so horrible but I am still using my phone because motorola which you champion cannot build a decent phone like pocophone offers.
oppo and vivo didnt have ubl , asus and samsung void waranty, huawei not cheap to ubl.. thank god poco only have to wait 72h, you gibe ip ur privacy when usinh android, if u dont want data colection from vendor, use apple..
I bank with Barclays, who do not support Google Pay.
With my Samsung Galaxy S8+, I was able to make NFC payments, even when the phone was locked.
However, since I bought my Huawei P30 Pro back in March 2019, I need to have the Barclays app open and logged into it before I am able to make payments.
This makes it slow to make payments, so I tend to just get my card out. It's faster. Though it defeats the point.
I have disabled any battery-saving features related to the app.
Any ideas?
So I currently have a Tmobile Note 8 that I just found out that rooting it will prevent me from installing apps like bank apps and using samsung pay. I also have an At&t Note 10 plus for work but I dont want to root it as if something happens how will I explain it to my boss lol. So being that my Note 8 is 3 years old I decided that it's time to upgrade to a new phone. My question is what phone can I buy that I will still be able to install bank apps and keep using google or samsung pay. I'm open to any suggestions
Thank you
David
these guidelines will help
--- find out if rooting is easily available for the phone
--- take a look at extant ROMs and see what are the problems associated with those ... in the latest update and how easy it is to fix them or else live with them
--- broader the user base better it is find support available for various issues
--- coming to your question on banking apps it has nothing to do with what phone you want to buy
if you root that phone and the banking app has various checks and balances to detect root you may not be able to use it. with passage of time banking apps are clamping down on root detection and unfortunately Evasive measures are not sufficient so those fighting for root and wanting to use banking apps ... are on the losing side
