EMUI 10 Desktop mode mouse speed - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hello there,
I have a little problem since I have updated my mate 20 pro to EMUI 10 : In desktop mode, the mouse is simply not utilisable. Even the slightest move make the cursor go in every directions possible at near light speed. Same with a touchpad. But if I only have a screen plugged and I'm in phone mode, the cursor move like intended. Only in desktop mode show crasy moves. Someone has an idea ? Desktop mode is usefull for me but only with a keyboard and mouse plugged in...
Thanks !

I'm having the same issue. In EMUI Desktop mode, mouse is all over the place and not usable at all.
Did you find a way to fix it ?
cheers

Yes. Sadly I had to do a factory reset. Problem gone since

yes this solved a lot of my problems including the mouse speed.

Nevermind, problem just appeared again, didn't do anything particular though
EDIT : Changed "smallest width" in developper options and backed it to 360 dp solved the problem. Even if it's temporary, it's still better than a hard reset

un-tick the "switch access" in your phone. Works well for my p30 pro.

resolution problem
change ur resolution to 1080p problem will be gone

Resolution
I change the resolution on phone settings and was ok. Thank You

For me, changing the resolution solves the problem temporarily. The problem can randomly reappear even when using the desktop mode. That's really annoying. Another problem that I have is that browsing applications like Brave and Chrome stop rendering webpages when the phone screen goes off. When the screen turns back on, the rendering completes. Can anyone test and let me know if there's a solution? EMUI 10.1 latest

I'm using EMUI 11 but should be same.
Settings -> Accessibility Features -> Accessibility -> Large Mouse Pointer
After that works fine.

For me un-ticking "switch access" worked just like that. Thanks a lot, beh007.

Opera Mobile 9.5 build 1409

It's time to have a new Opera Mobile again.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C54S9CCB
See why I don't like them to be built into the ROM? These things change too fast.
Can this be installed to SD?
Sorry, no storage card version yet.
But keep a watch for it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
Not sure if this version is better than the last one. Still playing with it to find out.
edit: The display is a bit messed up in this version.
Does anyone else find this the case too on their Athena?
Eagle: What numbers are you liking for the adaptive zoom? Sorry I can't answer your question as I have never messed with these settings before. Also is yours rotating your screen after you close/minimize it?

I set the minimum overview zoom to 70 in earlier build, but 85 in more recent builds. The only purpose is to allow me to activate a link without zooming in.
Tried this build on my X7510. A few observations:
1. Screen rotates on shut down.
2. Couldn't use hardware keyboard. After each key stroke, the entire field was highlighted, which caused the next key stroke to over-write the one before.
3. Opera was not set as default browser.
I went back to build 1184. The first two issues made it unusable for me.

[Q] Screen blows up

Got a problem, especially when typing (with any keyboard) where the screen image suddenly boats up in size and any further typing or backspacing produces only gibberish. I can get it back to normal, temporarily, by tapping three times on the screen. Anyone ever see this happen?

what is the current OS version of your tablet? if it is 4.3, update it to 4.4.4... else you have to enable the hardware overlay in the dev options in settings.

brightness is automatically reduced for certain apps

Hi all,
This is my first Huawei phone. I noticed that brightness of the screen will reduce (darken) for some apps, eg fb, chrome, dialer, even the auto brightness is unchecked. Do you experience the same?
It's a feature to prolong battery, all Huawei phones has it.

Yeah ok, thanks.
How do I get rid of the "feature"?
It's making the phone completely rubbish to use.
If I turn "Auto brightness" ON, the phone adjusts the brightness according to the lighting conditions around it (the screen does NOT go dim when launching apps).
If I turn "Auto brightness" OFF, the phone DIMS the screen when launching apps.
Come on HUAWEI!!! If I want the screen to auto adjust, I will set it to auto adjust.
I turned off auto brightness, toggled brightness to max and used the chrome browser. The brightness remains constant. No issues for me.

After update today to Oreo:
Same Problem with Huawei Mate 9 Update MHA-L29 8.0.0.361(C431)
It's A BUG not a feature.
After rebooting it`s okay and after standby and on again same problem again!
With Android 7 no problem!!!
Hi,
I had the same problem. In developer options I had "Force GPU rendering" enabled and that caused the issue.
Just disable it. Reboot the phone and it should be ok. When it does not help, "Restore default settings" in the developer options and reboot again.

Automatic Brightness Issues..
I have similar issue with the one wrote here in xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/brightness-automatically-reduced-apps-t3697589
That is even with the auto brightness ticked-off and smart screen feature also off, the screen will automatically dim after few seconds I opened the Facebook app for example.
I tried opening the Hi-Care app but it doesn't has this problem.
Can Huawei fix this very annoying bug soon?
I believe majority of users would not affected by this because they set their brightness less than 50%. But for those who prefer bright screen like me, this is extremely annoying feature even it said to help prolong battery life!
Thank you.
Would a custom ROM fix this issue ? Only reason I would root this phone ! Hopefully get one soon now that we have a custom recovery.
Can you try exempting from battery optimization? Search for "Configure Apps" in settings, go to special access, and then "Exempt from battery optimization"
I personally don't notice this issue, so I can't test it.
Try to disable "Increase Readability in Sunlight" at developer options
Same exact problem here on my Mate 10 Pro - first noticed it a couple days ago, after i had the phone for a day or two. It's a very slight change - I mainly notice it in Chrome and Facebook. Some apps do it, but not all. Basically, when you launch the app, the whites are normal brightness according to your set brightness, then within half a second, it dims just slightly - like 10-20%. Then if you press the home button, you can see a slight change again to normal brightness as the app fades out. Not the end of the world but still a bit annoying. I never noticed this with my Mate 9 (which didn't get Oreo yet). Would be nice to have a fix for this.

Did you restart your phone or do anything after? i changed the setting and don't see a difference - seems like it still does it.
Just compared to my son's mate 10 Pro and his screen is actually brighter on the Facebook app and all our settings are the same so must be different panel.

Bro, Switch off everything in Setting>>Smart Assistance.
Make everything to off, surely it will help you.
The "adaptive brightness" is bugged and dims the screen on certain applications, regardless of what options you have turned on or off. Huawei confirmed it is an EMUI issue. Who knows if they'll actually resolve it as they don't see it as a major issue.
It was major enough for me that I sold my Huawei Mate 10 after a few days.
i dont have it in 8.0.0.137. bug was present in 8.0.0.128. atleast for me. there is maybe sligt dim for like 5% in music sometimes and thats it as far as i can tell
Same issue here, tried many different fixes and attempts to disable it, still happens in all apps/games. It is noticeable immediately once the app/game has been launched.
It feels like a 10-15% decrease in brightness. Hopefully this is fixed in the next update.
Ps. I previously had the Mate 9, had the very same problem!!!

Any way to disable screen dimming in Chrome and YouTube?

I've noticed that no matter what setting I have it on, my tablet (M5 8.4) automatically lowers the screen brightness in Chrome and YouTube, but more noticeably in Chrome.
Any way to disable this?
Have you checked the setting menus?
Using Firefox might be a solution.
Also, Youtube in FF has background playback as long as you are using a desktop user agent.

I've checked every possible setting, and read online everywhere, but to no avail. It also dims in Firefox. It dims as soon as you go into the app. After an online search, I found many Huawei owners with EMUI 8.0 having this issue. There is one solution, but it requires root and I don't want to root my device after having it for a few hours.
Funny. Would love a solution as well as this is rather annoying
Do you guys have auto brightness turned on or off?
I never really experienced this issue, but I did observe strange brightness behavior before I began to keep auto brightness permanently enabled.
Doing a quick search, I saw one person say to turn auto brightness on, I saw one person say to make sure animations aren't disabled in dev options, some say unclick 'increase readability in sunlight' in dev options. I personally wonder if the stock launcher (which I don't use) maybe is set to override the brightness level.

I somehow doubt that. I am using Nova Pro and am experiencing some weird behavior when attached to the Keyboard ... (the dimming function mentioned here is, what I believe, the erroneous function, as it works quite nice when not attached to the keyboard ...
All "your" suggestions do not work - I find this "function" somewhat annoying, even without the keyboard-thing ...

Well, I went through with it and rooted it. I tried the fix, and... it worked! After you're rooted, simply freeze the system process (I used Titanium Backup) called PowerGenius, reboot and no more forced-auto brightness dimming.

hmhm. I was quite sure it was a System process - since the "bug" (dunno whether you read the thread on keyboard and brightness ...) appears with the system-icon when in Desktop-Mode ...
Great. there is a fix for this. now I need a non-root fix ... :-/
Yes, try the app ilux. Let that control brightness.

Just disable "power genius" this has worked for me. without root. No More auto dimming.
Disabling Power Genius will also get rid of issues involving bluetooth music playback, and will prevent apps like Google Maps from getting killed off semi-aggressively in the background (i.e. so when you map out driving directions you won't have to reenter the address as you get close to your destination).
Quick note: you have to reboot after disabling Power Genius. Merely disabling it won't immediately change anything.
Up until now I thought a reboot would bring the "wonderful" feature back ...
How comes that you mention a reboot is needed?
How do you disable it? I can only do a force stop
I'm not sure how to disable it without root (I imagine adb might work). With root, most use Titanium Backup to freeze it. I'm using Service Disabler to disable the associated services instead. Service Disabler is awesome if you are rooted, underrated app and great for EMUI because, for example, you can disable individual parts of the Tablet Manager app without breaking the features you want.
You might not need to reboot. When I initially froze it using Xposed Edge Pro, but didn't reboot, it didn't change anything for me. Could have been due to Xposed Edge Pro.

I can confirm following the above article will allow you to remove the power genius package from the Mediapad M5 8.4 on EUMI 9.1 without root.
Thank you sooooo much... You can't believe how annoying this was. No need to even reboot either and it doesn't return if you do.
Now I just need a way to too keep the custom 740DPI after reboot and this tablet will be perfect

[HELP NEEDED] Split Screen Recent Apps

Hi Fellow XDA Members,
I am experiencing a bug (i think) on my Mate 10 Pro (BLA-L29 C636) ever since i updated to .138 (Face Unlock update).
When i'm on "split-screen mode", when i hit the "recent" button, the "other half" of the screen just goes to Home and not opening my recent apps window. This kinda frustrates me while doing multi-tasking since I need to scroll through all my apps and look for the one i need.
I already updated to the latest version, .139, but issue/bug still persists. I already did restore factory settings / wipe cache etc. But still not fixing it.
Maybe i'm missing something on settings?
Hopefully someone gets what i'm talking about and can help me.
Thank you in advance and good day!
It's not a bug, it's feature!

what do you mean by feature? that it doesn't do "recent app window" on the half of the split-screen mode??? Because on .119 update, it just works fine.
I know, as far as I know, they changed it.
I liked the former way more, too.

Damn. Did they post it on changelog or something?
Noticed also some weird stuff when watching YT in landscape mode, it automatically sets you to "vivid" color mode. Not a fan of it either. That's why i only set my device to "normal" color mode. It goes back though when you close YT app.
