Magazine Unlock doesn't work after updated to Pie - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

After update to Android 9.0 with my P20 Pro (without factory reset). I found a problem with Magazine Unlock, it doesn't change randomized lock screen.
What should I do?
Thanks

Maybe your magazine unlock is paused. When your phone is locked try to swipe up from bottom of the display. There you will get resume/pause(||) option. Resume it. Let's us know if issue still persists.

Currently having the same problem as the OP. One moment it was working fine, and now it doesn't work at all. I have the magazine unlock setting on and ticked all the boxes and when I lock my phone it just shows the home screen wallpaper. I've checked the settings on the lock screen itself, there is a lock icon but when I press on it nothing happens. If I add my own images into the magazine unlock folder, they work fine and like the magazine unlock feature should work, but I really enjoyed seeing the random photos that would appear before. I honestly can not find a fix for this and I don't really want to factory reset my phone, so would really appreciate if someone has a work around for this.

Found the answer

You need to unlock your lockscreen wallpaper
Now, go to you lockscreen then swipe up from bottom
There are several settings there..
Press the locked icon
And you can change the time or another setting for your lockscreen wallpaper
So you can have your random magazine again..
Hope it helps you

I tried going through your steps DTsPro but sadly it wouldn't work. Like I said if I add my own pictures to the magazine unlock feature it works no problem and I can use the swipe up unlock/lock feature on the lock screen with those images, the moment I delete them and try to use the built in magazine unlock images, I just get a static image and I'm unable to select any of the icons on the lock screen settings however it says on wallpapers and themes that magazine unlock is selected... It is a very weird and somewhat annoying problem that I just can't seem to find a solution for, but thank you for at least trying to help

Same as me p20 I have problem as well. Magazine unlock, whatever I do it doesn't work at all. Any help plz

On lock screen swipe from bottom of screen. It will show couple of options. Don't let screen unlocked with face recognition or fingerprint. These options appears on the lock screen when you swipe from the bottom of screen on locked screen. There is a lock icon on these option, tap on it and unlock it. It will show message that screen will change everytime. Try these options with cool mind. I was not able to figure it out for weeks. But now I have and it work like charm.

simple solution as it might sound, but change your theme and keep going through the process untill it shows the pop-up msg asking you if you want to keep or discard Magazine unlock and choose to keep, Voiala it goes back again.

Adding widgets to the lock screen

I have enabled widgets on the lock screen (Settings > Security...). From time to time I can see a big + (plus) sign on the lock screen, and by tapping it I am able to pick up a widget. After unlocking and locking again, the widget is gone and there is no plus sign anymore.
Does someone know what causes the plus sign to show up or how to revoke it?

The + sign is showed when you swipe left or right starting from the upper right or left corner of the screen.
I don't know for the rest of your problem, sorry ^^
Widgets don't disappear, they're just on another screen of your lockscreen. Swipe left or right around your clock and widgets you added will show. It's stupid, and it takes more than one try at first, but it is what it is.
You are both right. Now it works, but it is kind of useless.
Thanks anyway.

Well, I decided not to use lock screen. Now, with press of the power button I have everything needed at my disposal with no limits.

Isn't that related to the theme? I don't have them either so I can't be sure.

Magazine unlock not working

Hi. My Magazine Unlock is not working properly. I set it in Themes and it shows as marked in Settings-Screen lock & passwords-Screen lock style so should be working fine. Despite that it doesn't show any photos on lock screen and there are no controls when I swipe from the bottom of lock screen (I mean play, next and so on).
I tried to put some photos manually into MagazineUnlock folder on internal memory but they don't appear on lock screen. Anyone knows how to make it work again and update the photos?
I've recently updated to EVA-L09C432B170 via dload method. May that be the cause?
Same issue here.
After flashing via dload method (and even back to the old firmware) I lost magazine unlock.
Have also tried downloading the stock themes and selecting them, but even though it says selected under Settings, lock screen remains the same static wallpaper image with no controls after swiping.
EDIT: turns out only the 'Black Label' theme enabled MagazineUnlock for me. I previously had Default(MagazineUnlock) but it didn't work, despite the name. Also needs to be under System/Theme, not just under SDCard/HWTheme
Someone knows an answer to this? I have the same problem currently and have no idea how to restore the functionality of the magazine unlock. Themes are shown in the theme manager and some even with the addition of "(Magazin unlock)", but it is not working even if selected.
mine wasnt working until i pressed this button ( the highlighted one in the pic) after that it started working again

hi. i had the same problem, had to change the theme to obsidian, then magazine unlock started working again.
What worked for me guys, is this...
When you activate your screen and keep seeing the same wallpaper (not magazine), simply DELETE the annoying wallpaper that won't change. Also make sure there is no "Lock" on the padlock on bottom left corner.
Hope this makes sense and helps someone from going crazy trying to figure it out

Lock screen notifications without content

Hi all,
I am very happy with my new P20 Pro however I have one problem with the lock screen notifications.
The screen will be activated but not content is shown although all settings are correct and no security options are enabled. The lock screen is also set to Huawei slideshow.
Any ideas?
Go to face unlock settings in secirity and turn off smart lock screen notifications.

Yes! That worked for me too! FYI - I tried an online chat with Huawei and they asked me to send my brand new P20 Pro into the shop for 2 weeks to take a look at it! Glad I found this first! :laugh:

Try his theme from EMUI Themes Factory, works for me
Hi, been following this issues as was experiencing this myself. Did all the tips remove lock screen, face recognition etc etc but still wasn't seeing what notifications I had. My screen would light up and say I had a message but that was it. I found changing my theme back to a stock one worked. I can now see the type of notification and the first line preview of the message. Hope this helps some one

Magazine Lock screen EMUI 10 (editing option)

In EMUI 9 I use to be able to edit my lock screen on what to delete and what to add. You use to be able to do it right at the lock screen moving left or right. Then there's an edit function that allows you to make those changes. Now with the EMUI 10 doesn't give you that option moving left and right is locked too. You no longer have the option.
Does anyone know to do it with EMUI 10 or find a way to edit it?
Any help would be great.

Tried other themes still locked it's almost like they don't want us to edit that option so weird maybe that's the new thing with EMUI 10 for Canada. It's kinda silly that the global version is entirely different from the North America version.
Ok guys, so I got the update about a week ago and was using magazine unlock on emui 9. I had previously deleted all the original images of magazine unlock to only use my own. To my surprise on emui 10 I did not have the option to add/change my images.
The solution that worked for me was to format my phone so that the original magazine unlock images where restored and lo and behold I had the option to add new images to the magazine unlock. I then proceeded to delete all the original images from the magazine unlock and and that's when I lost access to the magazine unlock option from the lock screen.
seeing as I don't want to format my phone a second time could another member try the solution and and let us know if it works?

Strange unlocking behavior

Hello,
When my screen is locked and I am trying to unlock it, my phone shows an open lock (seems to recognize my face).
I then can swipe up to see my homescreen but there I can't do anything.
I have to press the lock icon again to unlock my phone using my fingerprint
Please see the video to better know what I mean, thanks!
