Have they really removed double tap to wake? Huge dealbreaker when the fingerprint scanner is at the back of the phone.

Unfortunately Huawei removed it. Coming from LG G3 it took some time to get used to it. But the placement of the fingerprint sensor is very good indeed. I do prefer the back of the phone to the front.

If you have root try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/enable-double-tap-to-wake-t3312676
I haven't gotten around to root mine yet, so will update later if it works. I've checked the files though (you can read them without root, but not modify) and all the entries are there, so it's supported just not enabled. Seems Huawei disables DT2W by default on devices with fingerprint scanners even though support is there. Makes no sense to me, but it is what it is.
I have a long list of things I need to do once I have root

dt2w setting appears but after enabling it does not work.
This is bad news but I'm pretty sure there must be a way to enable it somehow Since support is clearly there.
There must a be reason why Huawei is disabling DT2W feature..
Probably DTW has been disabled in all their new smartphones with a fingerprint sensor (ex. Mate 8): is it not compatible with lock/unlock security?
AFAIK the Honor 6 Plus which has recently been updated to Android 6 keeps the DTW function, so apparently it's not related to Marshmallow.
The finger print sensor is actually fast and good.
And it is actually placed beautifully. Easy to use
True, but when the device is placed on a table and you want to check time there is only the power button.
In 80% of cases the FP sensor is fine. For the other 20% it would be nice to have the option.
Hai dear friend if you are ready to use third party apps then we can have a solution.
Try this app it just works fine in unlocking the screen by double tap.

On my H7 with B330 Digirom 4.2 I have dt2w.
Go to Settings -> Smart assistance -> Motion Control -> Double touch (at the bottom)
Edit: Sry guys, not sure how I came upon the P9 forum, thought I was in H7
This kind of apps not need a rooted device or something?
Missing dt2w is the only flaw of this phone... Really hope they do something about it with nougat.

If fingerprint is enabled then dt2w is irrelevant anyway

Kinda. In most cases it's fine. It would still be nice to have the option. You know when the phone is laying flat on the table and you want to check time or notifications...

If your screen is always on, your Huawei P9's battery will die really, really fast. You don't want your screen to be always on because it is a non-IPS display panel.
i told you guys use application like wave to unlock and lock
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kimcy92.wavelock
it use proximity sensor to wake the phone,no battery draining.but be sure to choose in the settings "unlock only" option.working very good
I have huawei honar 5a (y6 II )
How to turn on double tap feature in this phone
I played with a P9 on display in a store last week, it did have double tap to wake.
Our device can have upto 5 fingerprints. Does anyone know if there is some app that can lock the apps only with the fingerprint I specify.
Like for eg. I have 5 fingerprints of two different persons and I don't want the other person to unlock a specific app through his/her fingerprint.
Instead I specify that say that so and so app will be unlocked through Finger 1.
Is this even possible??

There's a feature called app locker in security and fingerprint and that allows to set up different apps to be opened only with fingerprint or other secured methods like pin password or pattern

Yes but that uses all the available fingerprints, not a specific fingerprint which i can specify
Bump... Anyone??
No I don't think that's possible.
Bumping again with hope

maybe download another app lock app from the play store and register only your fingerprints?

I dont think any such feature exist in Android. I had this feature in my jail broken iPhone where we can assign different actions for all registered fingerprints. I am also looking forward to get this feature in Android .

I see no developer has replied on this thread yet. The feature does not exist but if iPhone can have it then Android can too.
Hope to see a skilled developer here who can make this possible.
Thank you

This seems to be a known bug. It will most probably happen again, I updated the Google Play Services to the latest beta and now it's working for two straight days in a row, before, it would stop and go white every one to two days.
anyone got it working?
I've found the setting.
You'll need a launcher such as Nova or use Tasker to send the intent. If using Nova Launcher simply add an Activities widget and select MirrorShare from the activities list. This will create a shortcut on your desktop.
If you want to launch with Tasker send an intent with the following:
ACTION: android.intent.action.VIEW
PACKAGE: com.huawei.android.mirrorshare
CLASS: com.huawei.android.airsharing.player.DeviceListActivity
If anyone would rather just have an apk to do this hit thanks and leave a comment, I'll compile my task into an app and post it here. Cheers!
[EDIT]
:facepalm:
MirrorShare is in the regular settings menu. Doesn't want to connect for me though it could be my TV.
I was asking about smartlock. Mirrorshare is working in my case with no problems

Also mine seems to be limited to Bluetooth conditions only, you may need Bluetooth turned on and paired with something to activate it. If anyone has the old area based Smart Unlock from nougat working I'd love to know. I've built my own version of locale based Smart Unlock in Tasker and it works great. I can dig out my tutorial if you're interested in going down that rabbit hole. I have downloadable links to the tasks/profiles so all the hard work is done. But it does require Tasker and either a little knowledge or willingness to learn.
That would be perfect
Google Smart Lock was enabled in one of the spring/summer updates. (B128 for C432)

Here's the link. I've got a few projects in that thread and the smart unlock is the one linked. Simple download the project file and import it into Tasker. It works better than regular Smart Unlock imo just make sure to
replace the placeholder with your SSID. If you have any questions please post to that thread and I'll answer promptly!

Maybe it was, but I have 152 update, and smartlock is not working like it wasn't before, even after 2 factory resets. It's just not working.

Hm, looks like you're correct. Huawei is odd...
experienced the same issue,after a few days from when I started using the mobile phone, and the only way to get rid of it was to enter in trusted agents, disable Smart Lock, reboot the device, enter in Trusted agents and turn Smart Lock On again. The Smart Lock issue is reported on official google Forum since more than a year on different models (Search for "SOLVED: Smart Lock options missing " on Google Help Forum). As only TEMPORARY solution is reported the trick on Trusted Agents I reported. As I mention it is indicated as temporary solution, since many users experienced this problem again after some time. It is unknown whether someone of the Android Dev Team is working on a fix, or ever heard about it.
I'm not sure of how many people are aware of this feature, it's what allows bluetooth headphones to control the volume of your phone, basically syncs the volume with your bluetooth headphone/headset, I have owned a few phones over the last year (Sony Z3, Sony XA1 ultra, Nokia 7 Plus, Moto G6 Plus), and all of them allow you to do this apart from the Mate 10 pro, I have checked in the developers option to see if 'Absolute Volume' was disabled and unfortunately it wasn't so it should be working, anyone noticed this or think it might be fixed in the future?
AFAIK and as far as I can remember, this never worked in EMUI, also not on the P9+.
I actually prefer this. it is no bug. i hated that on my gfs iphone.

Lol many manufacturers choose this. It's just something you either do or don't. It's not a bug bro. Microsoft and windows don't sync the volume of speakers either. Additionally on Samsung phones you can toggle a setting for this.

It's under the network section

It's a design choice by the OEM, is also found in other mobiles.
Not everything that you find inside the developer options will work, the OEM might choose to disable, not include or change some stuff.
Like the AAC codec, you can choose it in the developer options, but it doesn't work because the libraries aren't present.
You can pass your feedback to Huawei or see if there is a (root) way around it
Tbh I don't see an option indicating volume sync
With the announcement of the new gestures feature for the Pixel 4 I thought: "I should try something similar with Tasker".
Here it is!
It's obviously less precise because you don't have all the extra sensors needed for accurate gestures, but on the other hand it's infinitely more customizable!
Depending on what situation you're in, you'll be able to do lots of different things!
Included are:
Music control gestures
Whatsapp gesture
These are just 2 examples. You can expand on these and do whatever you want with them!
Import the project here!
Enjoy!
Great job Joao!!!
If I can, I would like to share mine too from time ago. Hope this helps yours

Thanks. Can you verify that you have Tasker 5.8.2?
Also, did you give AutoNotification access to your notifications? Go to Tasker > Menu > More > Android Settings > Notification Access > Check if AutoNotification is enabled.

Yes, version 5.8.2 installed. AutoNotification has an access. All is set as you indicate. Maybe there is an issue with my proximity sensor. I test it by dialing *#77692# and by default it was off. I turned it on and It worked perfectly. On second attempt to dial It was off again. Maybe It is activated on samsung S10 only at performing specific action as making phone call?
I also checked with Sensoroid - Senso info app what sensor are there at my S10. It lists about 52 sensors found including TMD4910 Proximity sensor, Proximity pocket and Palm Proximity Sensor.

Ah yes, that is possibly the issue! I've had reports from other people that the S10's sensor is not working as it should and only turns on during calls... Unfortunately I can't help with that one Check here for example.
I would love to hear some other ideas that people on this thread used when activating this. I'm not a WhatsApp user, so I'm only basing my experiences through GPM. Any additional apps where this could be advantageous?

Is it posible to control Google Assistant with gestures? Just asking.

I'm new to tasker, and wanted to know if you can trigger the camera to take a photo with this air gesture?

Start with making sure the proximity sensor is working. A poster above with a Samsung had a problem like that. If you need an app to test it, try Sensors Toolbox
Then look at the tasker log and see if there is any messages there that will help.
Are you trying the WhatsApp or music controls?

I actually installed this to see what was up. On the music version, the profile "Proximity With Music" has three contexts. The AutoNotification context is set to trigger the profile only on notifications from specific apps. You need to check and make sure your app is enabled there. Also, if you don't have AutoNotification installed, it won't work.
As far as taking a photo, that definitely can be done. Here is a Air Camera project. It builds on Joao's project and requires AutoInput to be installed.
It's possible that it won't work out of the "box" due to two things.
1) The "Camera" profile gets triggered based on the Google Camera app opening. This would need to be updated to whichever camera app is used.
2) In the "Handle Camera Gesture" profile entry task, the AutoInput action is expecting the Google Camera app. If that doesn't exist, that action can be updated to operate the shutter button in whatever camera app is installed.
NOTE: In the "Handle Camera Gesture" profile entry task, there is a paused action, "Take Photo". That is actually the Tasker action that will take a photo regardless whether the camera is open or not. It's a bit silly in this application but could be used instead of the AutoInput action.
