Checks in at just over a gig, not much in the way of details other than "enhanced performance and other device improvements."

I just did this update on sprint/T-Mobile.
Don't see anything new besides losing open in pop up view missing...
But it came back after 30 mins.

there is a new option in the gallery, open a pic and press the 3 dots in the bottom you will see a "remaster picture" option.

received update on mate 10 BLA-L29 8.0.0.133 (C185)

today i had a notification update the update was 0.95 GB
in the change log it mentioned adding face unlock the new night mode (enhanced than before) plus nay security patches and improvements ....
im still updating so i didnt try them out yet
would keep you posted if you are interested
so? can you give us an update on the update?
Biggest feature is the face unlock
It is super fast and secure too as i tried using a picture of me and stuff which sometimes works on other phones but it didn't unlock also there is no a raise to wake feature kinda like the iphone
Didn't notice yet any performance and battery changes
Just a slight camera optimization
Will keep u updated as i use it more...
Did u get the face unlock?
Also there is a new app called app gallery
Basically another application store but it also updates huawei's own applications and stuff
My mate 10 has face unlock with april update patch.. not may.
I updated mine and its mentioned that theres new night shot mode but nothing new in night shot mode

It is the one from the p20. 4 seconds and stabilized. Old night mode was 8 seconds and shakey by hand for me
I like the update. Face unlock is fast to, has a lift to wake option now
My mate 10 is rooted with magisk and using twrp as recovery. How can i update to latest? Update with OTA will brick my phone??
noticed that the theme app was acting slowly... then while playing around with huawei's appstore, I set the country to china (funny, they removed the united states as an option from the list of countries now). After that, the theme app updated itself, and now we have a lot more options to download. The china one seems to be mostly paid, but change it to any other country and the remaining ones only show the free options. Guess since china doesn't have payment options from those countries, the paid themes/wallpapers/etc don't show up

Smart View: Device to Phone ?

I noticed that the Note 9 has a new option in the Smart View Menu that says "Device to Phone" Im used to using the Phone to device to mirror my phone to different displays but can anyone elaborate on the Device to phone option now? Looks like its just limited to Samsung tv's mirroring to the Note 9? Can a few people try this feature out and see if it works with any other devices maybe. That would be really cool if we could mirror different devices to our phone now and use our phones as a display. Never thought about that as a feature but would be cool if Samsung gives us that option.
I have a T-Mobile Note 9 (just got it today) and it has no SmartView feature anywhere. Very disappointing.
I went to a local shop that had new Samsung QLED TVs. Tested it out with a Q9F. It worked immediately, got a prompt at the TV that a Note 9 want to connect and neede approval. All connection after that did not require approval again. I could see what is on the TV on my Note9 and on the phone I had options like "power" that would retain the movie on Note9 but blank the tv screen. I walked around the shop waching the movie on my Note9. There was a button "source" that I think would let me chose another input attached to the tv like a PS4? Almost like PIP but outside the TV screen. I noticed a small lag that would be irrelevant in movies but annoying on a intense FPS game on PS4. There was a noticeable picture scaling issue I guess because phone and tv have different aspect ratios. Might be fixable. Tried to take a screenshot of it but the screenshot was blacked out because of protected content. Will go back to the shop later and test this feature on other cheaper models. Very excited about this feature. And no one talks about it!
Tmobile Note 9 has Smart view, its in the quick panel
Need the latest update

You have to update your phone to the latest update. Go to settings and check for update. It should be "update 22" I believe. Then after updated it will be in your quick settings. Slide down the home screen and then slide down again to open the quick settings. It will have a smart view button. Click on it and it will have the new option for "phone to device" or "device to phone". Hope this helps

EMUI 10 - Contact display pictures

Hello,
I downloaded the EMU 10 update yesterday and am seriously thinking of reverting back to EMUI 9.
Is there anyway you can change the size of the contact photo when they ring? The small circle with their picture is ridiculous and a huge step down.
I've also noticed when I make a phone call through my hands free in my car (Ford Sync 3) their pictures have stopped showing up altogether.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated!

It's been the circle since early EMUI 10 beta and i don't think they will get it back as it was on EMUI 9.1, because as you can see, the circle contact picture's position is right where the electromagnetic sound from in display vibrations is set, so it might be something related with that.
As an altenative, you can use Full Screen Caller or other apps, which i know is not pleasant but it's a must do if you want half or full screen contact picture.
Downgrading after me is not an option, because i don't think they will release more than one firmware with updated security patch and then releasing only EMUI 10 firmwares with updated security patches.

I have never been a fan of Huawei's contacts app. You can download Google Contacts from the Play Store for free and see if you like it better. It has a different look and feel, and I've not noticed any lost functionality.
You can also set video ringtones, like I do. Just because of the same issue: I dont like the small BS photo. I want a full size photo. So I made a short video for my contacts and assigned it...

Question Notifications - Expanding/Collapsing/Tapping to Open

Hello.. I'm trying to research an issue (or known change) with the Notifications on my OnePlus 10 Pro running latest Android 12. This problem was first noticed on my OP8T after upgrading it to Android 12. Since I just got a 10 Pro I'm posting here, since that' s my current phone and the one for which I'd like resolution (sold the 8T).
After upgrading the OP8T, my notifications no longer let me go straight to an app. I'll use Gmail for example. Before the upgrade if I had multiple new email, I'd have a single notification. I would swipe down and see it, and I could one of two things. 1. I could just click on the notification and it would take me to my Inbox. Or 2. I could tap the little side button that expanded the notification and click on one of the emails to be taken directly there.
Since Android 12 upgrade, I no longer have option 1. I bought a OnePlus 10 Pro - it came with Android 12 installed, and I have the exact same issue.
I am not seeing this behavior with a Sammy on Android 12, so it has to be something in with Oxygen OS.
Anyone else seeing this, and do you see it as issue? Is there a way to set it so when you click on the notification, it just opens the App like you were clicking the App's icon? I TRULY MISS THIS
Yes this is a very big feature and product miss. Not able to understand why this is not blown up yet.
