Some touch problems - Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers

Hello, I am new into huawei since I came from samsung devices. I bought this Huawei P9 Plus model VIE-L09 at my local phone store and carrier las 3 weeks, the phone came with android 6.0 and it was amazing and no bugs, all problems came when I update to android 7.0 via phone update... Half screen like 1centimeter in the exact half of the screen stopped working, I can type and all but scrolling down is pretty horrible... I think that downgrading its android version would fix the issue because the phonr has obly 3 weeks of use snd in any moment it fell from my hands or make something bad to the touch... please say if some of you have the same issue and if you know hou to downgrade this model can you provide me a guide please? I will definitely appreciate that. Thanks in advance

Try to reset device to factory. Android 7 for my p9 plus is perfect.

I already did and nothing. It stills the same. I think that downgrading and update from 0 will solve this problem. Can you provide me a guide on how to downgrade this model? Is the VIE-L09

Only problem getting on my nerve is Fingerprint ID to unlock (Im not using power button to lock). It keeps asking password due to new security policies.
No way of getting rid of it but unless root which we cannot do right at the moment.
Did you try a reset? Any unusual apps? Mine is flawless

Huawei P9 - NFC not working

Hello
I've got problem with my P9.
I can't send anything with NFC
I tried with various smartphones. Wit P9 Lite, Galaxy S7...
It's not working. Have I set it somehow, except of turn it on?
I got Official B182 Rom from huawei.
Anyone, anything?
Hi,
I used it a couple of times to pair with earphones...
It worked fine for me both times...when I eventually managed to find the places on the phone and earphones that needed to be close.
The NFC on the P9 is located on top of the back (the part not aluminium, opposite of the 2 cameras)

Yes this is true, I forgot about that from my research when I got this phone.
GSM Arena lists below in the specs:
NFC Yes (EVA-L09 only)
And is confirmed on official website here (press show technical specs) :
http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/p9/index.html
Yes true, but I have a 32 GB single sim version which support NFC.

P20 Pro New owner?

Hi i am on the fence on whether i should purchase a p20 pro I have always been a clean android software guy used Oneplus , Pixel even custom roms on a redmi phone. How does this phone compare ? And has anyone come from similar situation from clean stock android to p20 pro .
i've come from pixel xl 128gb pure stock to huawei p20 pro - the phone is brilliant, but there are so many variants out there and if in uk and get the c782 version we seem to be getting left behind in regards to the updates
I've come from a sony, which is very close to the pixel, and I got used to very fast. What I like is that it has many features which the stock android doesn't have.

Most UK resellers will supply the C782 model even if sim free. This is then updated by the carrier of whichever sim you first insert. Three will also update boot animation so you have their big logo on it.
A lot of users (myself included) have the C782 model.

This is what I was lead to believe however, I have a Vodafone contract through a 3rd party provider.
My c782 is still on .110 but I have read on the Vodafone forums that their devices have been updated to .128 over 2 weeks ago [emoji19]

Yes, apologies I have since found out that Vodafone appear to be issuing the European model.

If you're a pure android person, as in Pixel / Pixel 2, this phone will be pretty stuttery to you and the lack of updates will frustrate. I am on April 1 security patch, and Instagram which is the main app I use, is quite laggy graphically.
Aside from the lack of updates, crap selfie camera and stuttery performance in some apps, the phone is top of the pile right now.
The speakers, screen, camera, and speed of the phone are top notch .

Hi, my wife just got this phone and I'm tempted too. I saw your comment and she has c782.
Do you know if you root and flash a custom ROM do you get regular updates then ?
if she has only just got it, then she will need to pay to get it unlocked (there is thread on this) as huawei no longer provide unlock codes.
you will need to rebrand the phone to C432 model to be able to get the updates, if you leave on C782 then you are reliant on the network operators and huawei to decide when we will receive updates

who do the updates come from if it's not Huawei? google directly?
no, the updates come from huawei but the network operators have to authorise its release
Hi guys, I’m jumping in on this thread as I’m seriously considering a P20 Pro.
I’m thinking of buying from John Lewis in the U.K. and I’m on BT Mobile as my provider - does anyone have any experience with the updates or as to what model of phone i would get if buying from John Lewis?
Also, how are you guys finding the battery life on the P20 Pro?

Battery life is amazing and if i was you i would ask if the p20 pro is unlocked and non branded otherwise you have to wait for the carrier updates, which are so damn slow. I came from a oneplus 6 and im happy that i bought the p20 pro less then 2 weeks ago and this phone is just the best.

Thanks for the reply. I just need to see the P20 so I can get an idea of the physical size of it. I’ve been using this iPhone 6s for so long that I’m guessing anything bigger is going to really feel massive.

Ha, yea its pretty huge if you come from a iPhone but its still awesome due to 1 hand mode or using the home button to navigate the phone, which i use currently.

Well, the Oneplus 6 isn't bad and software wise its one of the fastest phones you can get right now besides the pixels but.... i didn't like the camera! The camera is oke when used in full daylight but at low light its just terrible and the sound quality isn't also that good. The oneplus 6 is better at taking video's etc but the p20 pro is way better at taking photo's.
also the overal build quality on the p20 pro is and feels so much better.

I've been thinking about ditching the P20 Pro and switching to OnePlus ot back to Google with Pixel 3, but can't make mind up
Update: just checked the pixels out and they look premium, interface seems slick, but u need 128gb version as 12gb has already been used with nothing else installed. The XL looks spot on and size is same as P20 Pro.

Official confirmation on Honor Play not getting EMUI 10

https://twitter.com/HiHonorIndia/status/1184786687135760389
Now it is officially confirmed that we wont get Android Q... Cheers!
It was a mistake buying Honor Play. My previous phone was Honor 5x. It launched with Lollipop in 2016 and was promised '2 years update'. The updates were discontinued after barely 8 months after and I got stuck with Marshmallow. Luckily I unlocked my phone and was able to use custom ROMs to mitigate the problem.
I decided to give Honor a second chance, despite all the controversies. The Honor Play was being offered at a good value after the price drop. It's probably one of the worst decisions made. Obviously performance is there, but bootloader was locked. Still I would live with that. And now this! Wow! Phones with the same chipset (P20) and cheaper price (8X) are getting the update and we are not!
Learned my lesson the hard way. Never ever buying any Honor or Huawei again, and will avoid Chinese companies as much as possible.
I don't buy this story one bit, as it was a similar case with my Galaxy S6 Edge receiving an Oreo update which it never did. And if the inferior 8X can handle the latest software, why can't the Play do the same? It's beyond me really (in case, it's true).

It's sad, but it's true!
You can check other replies from the Twitter page/ Honor Club forums/ Huawei Central website...
This has become basically a scam.
If they relent and push update like they did for Honor 7x I'll be okay. But I'm never ever buying Honor products again.
SO its better to have the latest OS that could cripple the phone as specs not good enough (so they say), then having a older OS on and fast etc phone ?
I love updates and new features, but not if im going to be frustrated with the phone lagging or harder to use
I know what I would prefer, plus it not like Pie is some old old software and suddenly apps wont support it
I'm so done with Huawei.
Finger crossed. I bought two Honor play phones and View 20 and later gave out one Honor play to a friend and Honor View 20 to a girl friend. This source that claims 'low hardware' as the reason for Honor Play not receiving Android 10 is not authoritative to me.
My believe is that Android 10 will come later next year as floated online initially.

Agreed. Would prefer a smooth Android 9 experience over a buggy Android 10

The source is trustable. That is the official Honor India page. And they have given this reply to multiple tweets.
The people in Honor support chat has said this as well. Obviously this claim of theirs is a bogus claim but the chance of us getting the update is very dim. There is a chance that regions other than India would get the update but this is very unlikely because the largest market for the phone was India.
It's honor india. They done the same thing with other honor phones too.
Still, after hearing that, i might stop getting a huawei phone and i'm sorry for you all that you got this underwhelming news

According to Huawei uk on Twitter the final list hasn't been made so still a glimmer of hope. https://twitter.com/HuaweiMobileUK/status/1186233485800943617?s=20
Maybe honor India jumped the gun wouldn't be the first time.

I thought as much. The most questionable part of the India's Honor tweet is the low hardware reference on Honor Play when compared to 8X that would receive Android 10. It doesn't make sense to me.

In response to an email honor UK said this.
In response to your inquiry, kindly note that the Honor Play is not yet scheduled to receive the Android 10 / EMUI 10 upgrade. So far, the only Honor models confirmed to receive the update are Honor 20, Honor 20 Pro and Honor View 20.
Of course, we are constantly testing the update on other models as well, so there is a possibility that the Honor Play will receive the upgrade in the future. Therefore, we invite you to keep an eye on our official website and social media platforms for any official announcements.
It's ok, the different parts of the company are confused, or there's no control over what their staff post. Best to be sure and only get Android One or Pixel phones in future if you're concerned about updates as Huawei,Honor,Moto etc etc just launch so many phones there's no way they are going to support all of them. It's disappointing when you get a phone and find 14 months in it's abandoned but there you go. You live and learn. No more Huawei/Honor phones for me. There are a million Android phones out there and they're all pretty much the same hardware wise as far as I'm concerned - it's the software that's important. If Google are going to spend loads adding AR or whatever but I'm not going to be able to use it because some dodgy Chinese company can't get its **** together then I'm not interested.
I believe that Honor Play will get Emui 10. Let's just wait and see. All the Kirn 970 devices will get it. Huawei said that there would be more than 35 models getting EMUI 10. But there are only 33 models in the list. Moreover, according to the circled words, more models are on their way so this is not the final list. In addition, Honor Note 10 is not in the list either.

I hope so. Honor Play is just too good in its category to let go not updated - when it has a capable hardware.
As i know Honor uk already said that the Update comes in February 2020?!
It may not get EMUI 10 but maybe it will get android 10? ???
Seems like we gonna get it

Upgrading to Chinese HarmonyOS

Hey guys, I sold my Mate 30 Pro with Global ROM in the past because I found the UI too "cheap" and "simple" compared to the chinese version.
I was thinking of getting a second hand Mate 40 Pro because it's super cheap in Europe rn. What's worrying me is that I will be stuck with global software though that might not be issue if they implement widgets and such to HarmonyOS.
My question is, is it possible to get a chinese version system somehow on a phone bought in europe?
Like can I get the chinese beta in europe or flash it somehow? Thank you all in advance <3

No one has yet to crack the Kirin 9000 chip jsut yet, but with all members within the community, maybe some one might be able to do it some point in time.
I am still stuck on EMUI12 and waiting for the official release.
Keep in mind don't fill your expectaions since "Huawei values information security greater than commercial profits"
Still not possible to update global models to HarmonyOS?
Does anyone have HarmomyOS 3 ROM for HUAWEI Nova 9 (NAM-LX9)?
