Intelligent screen on and smart rotate - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

I'm surprised not to find those options on my P20 Pro !!
I saw that features on Honor View 10 review and it was normal for me that P20 Pro will have at least the same but i don't see that option anywhere.
I'm so disappointed !!

Yes I really liked the idea of smart auto rotate (apparently it would check on the orientation of your face to see whether it should auto rotate).
Any alternatives?

No more lock screen timeout with Android 9?

Hello,
only recently I purchased the Huawei P20 Pro (with Android 8) and was very pleased with the timeout option for the lock screen, with allowed me to disable the auto lock for a reasonable amount of minutes after turning off the screen.
However, after the update to Android 9 Pie I cannot find the option anymore. Was it removed or where can I find it? Are there maybe apps that would bring back this option?
Thanks!

The feature seems to be missing on all EMUI 9 phones, i can't find it on the P10 or View 20 either. Strange, it is such a major bug but not reported anywhere!

Need help to find missing options in stock camera - Pie Ui

Hi i'm from india, recently updated from oreo to pie officially.
But after upgrade i missed some important features in camera like video recording in pro mode, and beautification (like 3 diamond icon in oreo) option.
In beautification mode, we find separate sub mode for females and males for perfect selfies but now in pie i didn't find this option.
Can any body show me where these settings hidden. how can i enable it.
Thanks
They removed recording video in pro mode. I don't know how's it even possible and who approved it but they completely destroyed camera with pie update. You can use 3rd party apps, but all working apps are paid. And these apps aren't cheap.
I've noticed a downward trend in photo modes and its options since S7edge days.

I never saw such a bad quality on P20 Pro. If you really want to take 40mpx photos,you should use Pro mode anyway,and change the focus area to wide to capture a detailed photo,otherwise by default(in any mode) the focus point is in the center,looking for a person/object. But even with default it should be a lot more clear. Be sure to update your phone using HiSuite for PC and reset the camera app. Best pictures are at 10mpx because it captures more light and they are downsampled from 40mpx. Also,at 40mpx it only uses the 40mpx RGB camera. Use photo mode for normal pictures,night mode for low light if you don't enable master AI,and Pro mode for more control. Be sure to understand all the settings,especially focus modes. Your picture was in a low light environment,you should have sticked to 10mpx,or Pro mode(but at 40mpx some settings are not there because like I said,it does not use all the cameras)

HiSuite say im using newest official update clt-l29 9.0.0236 (C432E5R1P9)(official version)
i made hard reset and roll back to 8.0 and didint help , also cleared cache/app date
can someone put photo from p20 pro in similar conditions ?
The 40MPix mode is amazing if you want to a) capture most of details and b) if you want to play with photo in Snapseed or PSe for example. I use is because it doesn't do HDR, that CAN be too aggressive when 10mpix is enabled. Can you share this photo somewhere else, because zippy share is overflow with advertisment.
Jpeg from raw
For example - jpeg made from raw in pro mode, edited in lightroom mobile.
EDIT: ooops, xda scrambled quality...
Btw I do not see a problem in your photo. If you zoom 100% of course, the photo will not be sharp nor pleasant to see, but 40MPixs can surely be printed for example on A2 and look gorgeous (in fact, everything >12MPix will). The point is, you took picture against the sun, that means it had to deal with huge amount of direct sunlight, that's probably the reason the grass and mud is so... well... not sharp. It's partly simple optics and party too agressive postprocessing.

Motion Controls missing

I am trying to figure out where the motion controls are, where you can draw a C to launch the camera for instance. I asked Huawei twitter and they said
" Open Settings > Smart assistance > Motion control > Smart screenshot"
I go to settings, smart assistance, and there is NO motion control. I've googled it and a lot of others say that is the place to change it. I'm running the most current version EMUI 9.1.0.124 (C605E4R1P5), Model VOG-L29, 256 gig, 8 gig ram version
Any help would be awesome
Same here also looking for those :/
Some more info from Hauwei about this. Though I don't buy the reasoning because my P20 Pro could do this on Android 9

Camera app - option missing vs p20 pro

Hi there,
Just upgraded my P20 Pro to a P30 Pro. So far I'm fully satisfied with the p30 pro but I'm seriously missing an option from the camera app. There's no way to make a picture by simply pressing on the screen... With such a big screen it's kinda hard in situations where you can only use one hand, to focus and take the picture. I much appreciated this option on the p20 pro...
Is there a workaround or should I try another camera app ? Which one would you recommend ?
Maybe you can use ur VOICE? Go to the settings and switch it on - then u can use CHEESE to make a picture.
Could be an option but won't be efficient in all situations unfortunately... I can't understand why they removed it...
