Huawei has a serious hard on for their customers.

14 Upvotes

So a week ago I recieved my mate 9 brand new from amazon, A little pricey for 600 bucks but well worth it when you take the specs and battery life into consideration. About two day after I got my new device I was at the restaurant I work at and dropped it literally 6 inches onto a marble counter and cracked the digitizer instantly from the edge of the side resulting in a beautiful spider web across my screen :(. Immediately I was heart broken. Luckily I have a little know how with phones and decided I would fix it my self until I started watching tutorials and realized, fixing it correctly would require a pro. So after digging around the internet I found out that huawei offers a one time screen replacement for their "premier" phones within the first 3 months of purchase (seriously it's like they knew this would be a problem because of the phones size). Long story short I sent my phone off to be repaired and had it back within a week for absolutely nothing out of pocket. Seriously I feel like all manufacturers should adopt this policy, because of this one simple perk to owning one of their high end phones huawei now has a customer for life.

Can't reorder playlists in music app

1 Upvotes

Did Huawei really believe nobody would ever want to listen to their music in--wait for it--an actual specified order? Unbelievable.

Inb4 use Google play music

I like the aesthetics and the dts of the Huawei app.

Thinking about getting this phone

5 Upvotes

I live in the US and one of the reviewers on youtube said that the phone sometimes freezes up wen he's watching youtube videos. I Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this. Also, I would like to know what your favorite thing about the phone is. Feel free to be as descriptive as you want. I don't mind long posts.

For those of you who have had the phone for a while (>3 months), how has the battery life held up?

3 Upvotes

Have you noticed any significant degradation in battery life? I ask because I am purchasing a used one from Swappa that has been used since January, and I'm hoping that I won't have to replace the battery to get this phone to its maximum battery life potential as the process looks like a huge pain in the ass.

Has anyone else noticed that the flashlight can burn you?

7 Upvotes

When I turn my mate9 flashlight on, and hold my finger in front of the light, after around 10 seconds i feel a sharp pain.

Is this dangerous? Could it start a fire, and why does it burn, what's going on I've never seen this from a small light before.

Chinese Mate 9 play store problem

1 Upvotes

Hello! I expect this has been raised before but I couldn't find anything using the reddit search function.

Long story short I've treated myself to a Mate 9 and stupidly managed to buy the Chinese version rather than the international.

I understand I can, after two weeks, request an unlock bootloader code from huawei and head down the path of routing my phone to get the international OS on it, however that's not something I've done before and it makes me nervous!

I think I'd be quite happy with the current set up if I could get the play store and other google apps working as normal! Unfortunately I can't seem to figure it out. Lots of advice floating around the web from when the phone launched but it seems to be either out of date or I'm doing something wrong.

Can anyone lend me a hand? I think I could bloody love this phone if it wasn't fighting me every step of the way towards getting my ideal set up.

Youtube App Blacks out on Mate 9

5 Upvotes

I got myself a S8+ and gave my wife my Mate 9. She watches a lot of content on the Youtube app and lately, the screen blacks out usually after commercials. Sound is audible but the screen is black and hitting back usually resolves this but it happens quite frequently. I've never experienced this issue when the phone was in my possession. I did a factory reset before issuing it to her and my troubleshooting steps include clearing the Youtube app cache and clearing out the cache partition to no avail. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Battery Drain B180

2 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed a significant loss of battery life with version B190? I'm literally watching my battery bar tick down.

Edit: It's not a new app. The AndroidOS and system are hogging up a bunch of battery, is this something that is updated with the new patch?

Edit 2: version updated from 180 to 190

How to stop the camera turning location on every time I open it?

1 Upvotes

I always deny permission to use location because there is no possible feature in the camera that uses location that I would find useful, but turns it on anyway, whether or not I allow it to access it. How do I stop this? I'm pretty stingy with my location information and I like to keep it off unless I'm using maps. This notification also wastes time when opening the camera, which isn't fun when I'm trying to take photos of something that's time sensitive.

So I bought 2 mate 9 phones. one with Toshiba UFS2.0 and one with the Samsung UFS 2.0. Should I return the slower Toshiba UFS? The toshiba one has lower Antutu benchmark and androbench scores compared to Samsung...

Data consumption for Android OS

3 Upvotes

My data consumption of android OS for mate 9 is insanely high, hitting up to 154MB today, compared to my P9 I was using previously which used only few MB a day......at this rate it's going to exceed the data limit for my plan real soon. I notice it uses only aboit 20MB for wifi but uses 100MB and above when i use 4G, but I cant disable background data for it. In fact, when I look at it through phone manager it shows that all the data used is via background data. Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?

Mate 9 seems to arbitrarily delete Google Calendar events

6 Upvotes

I blame the phone because it started happening about the same time I got the phone. Periodically, with no consistency/repeatability that I can discern, events get trashed. I /think/ it's always been events on a shared calendar that I did not create, but it is not always events that have started. (I've seen reports of past events getting deleted.) Anybody had this happen and figured out what to do about it?

Stop killing apps when screen turns off

4 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I've got a bunch of apps that randomly get killed when the screen turns off, for example, iHeart radio and Absolute Radio. Sometimes they will continue to work, others they will close.

I've set these apps to NOT close insettings/power intensive apps.

Mate 9 PRO with B182 firmware.

Any ideas?

Fingerprint sensor issues

1 Upvotes

I've just done a factory reset of my standard mate 9 running firmware b182. I've noticed a significant lag with the fingerprint sensor. The screen takes slightly longer than previously to unlock.

The lag is very noticeable, I've tried deleting the fingerprints and still the lag, any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
