Double tap screen to unlock? - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hi All
Just purchased a P8 and must say so far it has been impressive. However since the P8 has no fingerprint scanner like the mate 7, i had assumed that the P8 would comes with the 'double tap' screen to unlock gesture same as which exists in huawei G7. Is there anyway to get this feature?

Within the Emui OS it does not appear to offer this function.
The only way that I know of that you could get this to work is by unlocking bootloader, rooting, and installing TricksterMod, then setting double tap to wake within that app.
Worked perfect on my old phone.. should work fine with the P8 as well.

Anyone already tried this on the P8?

If Huawei would send me a bloody unlock code I could answer that for you :/

I don't think that it's that easy. I would think, that it can only be activated of it is implemented in the kernel.

I am on the EMUI 3.1 5.1.1 BETA and there's a feature for double tap to wake.
Thank Heaven! I really missed that feature on my Oppo FInd 7a

How to get 5.1?

Shouldn't be too long I'd hope, as Honor has been sending out press releases saying it's inviting people to test 5.1 for devices, and they're all on KitKat, so I'd assume the P8 will get 5.1 soon too.
I am amazed double tap isn't an option on the P8 given it is on so many other Huawei/Honor devices running EMUI3.0. Did they just forget or something?

Maybe I wasn't clear in my previous post.
I miss the double tap feature that was on the Find 7, which I can now enjoy on the P8.

B153 is the latest official firmware for UL00.
B141 is at least a month old now.
http://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=143

Does B153 have "Double tap to wake screen" functionality?

No.
Only BETA.

Any change in the camera? Anandtech had info about there was a problem in software that gave blurry pics. They decided not to put to much effort testing it before because now it was like a 2012 camera

Get the Google Assistant of Pixel on Huawei P9 Lite

Hello friends,
does anyone know if it is possible to get the new Google Assistent of Pixel devices on any other device (especially on our P9 Lites). From videos the new assitant seems to make a quite better job than the old one.
Besides that does anyone know if Google plans to replace all old versions of google assistanz with the mentioned new version of pixel? Thanks for your answers.

I have Google App v6.13, alpha, no Google Assistant, but it works on some other phones.
I think you can get it with Open GApps.
Ok I will try it and report if it worked. Thanks
it's an app for that... get assistant but you need root

There's no xposed for nougat
I got it to work with this tutorial on Lineage 14.1:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/guide-how-to-enable-google-assistant-t3477879
However, it got kinda screwed after the Google App updated. So you might want to disable auto-updates so Google doesn't screw your setup with updates.
Plus, it modifies your build.prop which can cause issues on other apps since your phone thinks its a Pixel.
All in all I dont think it is worth the effort. The assistant is overrated and the normal app can do basically the same stuff with voice command.

Hot Diggity! Honor Sent Me A Software Update!

Bout Time Something Came Through...
I know... Everyone else on the Planet most likely already has the B140 Software update...
But at least I know I'm on the list! even if it is last..
Wonder what happened to B192 for the BND - L24 ?
If anyone that reads this can chime in.. was it a prerequisite that the 7x received B140 before B192 ? and does anyone that has a BND - L24 received B192 yet?
I'm still waiting on my update ?

Mr Moss.. There Is No Rhyme Or Reasoning To This Rollout...
You just look up one day and it's there...
But what is B140 ?... nothing more than AR.. and unless you are a selfie freak the novelty last about 2 seconds.
Facical Unlock (B192) is what should have been released instead of this.. The 1st market received B192 the last week of January.
At Least I've got the February Security Patch.. believe it or not, I was still on the December 1 Security Patch... :angel:

Mr. Ambassador.. Thank You.
Kind words indeed... I just offer my insight as I see it with the Honor 7x.
All of us have invested our hard earned dollars into this device.
And it's a GREAT device.. just standing on it's own merits.
EMUI has matured.. And, because Huawei / Honor controls their overlay AND the SoC.. it's a smooth running machine.
The Software is PACKED with useful features from tempeture adjustments to themes, dpi and much more.
This is the 1st device I've owned where I can honestly say, *Rooting is an OPTION.. Not A Requirement*
Some people have accused me of starting a rebellion.. telling others not to root their devices..
OWNER'S CHOICE.
My words are not so powerful that when "Raiderwill Almighty" speaks you have to listen.
It's just MY point of view.
I'm glad you enjoy reading more than One Side of the Story... :good:

I completely agree to the point that Honor made "Rooting, an Option but not a requirement" with their emui .I bought this device with a few doubts as I tried custom ui like Miui and vibeui before and not really liked them .But I have no regrets for buying this device and I totally love emui now

Just recieved B160 update, includes face unlock.
As to why my phone's not getting any update at all is beyond me. I have BND-L21 model and security patch reads Oct 2017. Ridiculous. Still on B101.
@dart_dev --- B160 update? On an L24 model? I just got the B140 this morning, several days after my wife's phone took it and quite a while after the first post here.
Just got 140 myself.

Hey I got the update to B140 today, but I'm having an issue with the screen going dim when I use chrome browser? I don't have auto brightness on and I've already cleared my cache and factory reset the device. But the issue is still there!

Hello.. I'm Assuming, You Did Not Have This Issue Prior To Receiving The B140 Update ?
Since you've Factory Reset your device might I suggest you go into Setting > Display > Sleep and set it to 10 minutes.. and see if that fixes your issue with Chrome... Only Chrome huh ?

This is an EMUI bug and has shown up in devices like the Honor 8, P10, Mate 9, etc.
When a few people were reporting this issue on the Honor 8 I didn't face it so I'm assuming it affects only a small number of people.
This showed up immediately after the update right?

Face unlock coming soon?

I got the MHA-L29 8.0.0.368 about two weeks ago.
Out of curiosity, I checked FF today to see a listing of MHA-L29 8.0.0.371 with face unlock & May 2018 security patch
thank you huawei for bringing face unlock to mate9!

MHA-AL00C00 already has face unlock, rise to wake up screen. Although I don’t know whether it’s safe or not, but the face unblock works amazing!!!!! No longer need finger print. Just rise you hand.

I'm patiently waiting for C187's turn I fan see C636 but no 187, if not i will have to rebrand
I donthave on my c372 .where should it be?
Probably wont use it, the fingerprint sensor on the back is natural and I don't have to be looking at the screen.
As long as they don't ditch the fingerprint sensor, just give us the choice to use the one we wish, I'm fine with it.

Questions before buy from futur ex xiaomi owner

hi folks,
i am thinking about getting a op8 pro but before i have few questions i d like to ask you:
on my xiaomi note 10 i can protect access to apps with password or schema or face recognition, can you do that with op8 too ?
is the infrared filter back for europe?
op8 have never been famous for their autonomy, how long do you last wit a charge?
thank you for your time
You can protect apps with a password, face lock and fingerprint
For the IN2023 device (global for Europe) the filter is back with 10.5.9 update
