Phone locked out of after 10 minutes - Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers

Oh no! I got the phone - raced through the set up without settting up anything and only did face scan... I don't think I did a password. Then I set up the face recognition only.
Asked for software update - said ok..........
Now I am locked out of the phone. OMG
Any advice?

Disable soft reset feature (pressing "END" 10 sec)

Hi, there
Im on bada 1.2 KF3, and im having some problems with soft reset feature.
As we know, our bada phone S8500, do a soft reset when pressing "call end" for 10 sec. The problem is what this feature, also do the reset when the phone is LOCKED, and this is really a ****.
I have my phone in my pocket, for a long time, and when I want to send a message or something I realize that is on the "sammob!le" screen, waiting the unlock code after reset.
It's possible to disable this f%&&ng feature?
This is very usefull feature.
If daxn handset stuck/freezed...
Or I want ON/OFF faster.
For me this is very helpfull.
Best Regards
yeah, but in my case, the phone resets at least once a day and never freezes/stuck, in that case, I prefer to take off the battery. I don't know what happens with my pocket.. should I use less tight pants?

I don't know, maybe you could try buying one yourself. Did "your" watch somehow become self-aware and lock itself?

Is there a pattern you have used for your phone in the past?

I was just thinking you may of used it. I've looked allover and can't find an answer. Have you tried holding the button for a while?
The only thing you could do is go to the store where you bought it from.
I had the same problem (pattern lock and forgot it later) and I spoke to someone in Motorola. Seems the only way to unlock your moto 360 from the pattern lock is to just randomly swipe a wrong pattern several times (7 - 8 times) which includes the 30 second timeout(s) in between, till it asks you to factory reset. This helped me out.
I don't think bryanwerewolf was wrong to ask for proof OP wasn't a 360 thief... AFAIK the only way to see that lock screen is if you set it up with a password, and the OP actually said:

Weird behavior of touch when in settings

My phone is killing me... All of a sudden when I'm in the settings there is something like ghost touch that drags the screen down. It happens only in the settings! I can't even access to the developer options to activate touch feedback! In a couple days I'm gonna try to reset the phone but for me it's problem is absurd. I don't think that this happened to anyone other than me but do you have any suggestions?

Try using screen test app from Playstore to know that your touches are getting registered as you want to.

Can you suggest me a good app? BTW I tried to lock the screen in portrait (reverse) using an app called set orientation in order to check what would happen. The screen continues to go down while it was supposed to go up instead if there were ghost touch in the bottom of the screen

The problem keeps happening, unfortunately I won't be home until Friday evening and until then I can't reset the phone because I don't have a wifi connection.
I hope that a factory reset will solve the issue but I was wondering if since this is most likely a software issue, I could flash the original firmware in case the soft reset isn't enough. I had several Sony phones before this one and I could do it without voiding the warranty and with a locked bootloader. Is it the same case for this one?

Yes. Warranty will only be void with unlocking the bootloader and misuse of the unit.
Maybe you can try to use a hair dryer to dry the phone!
Also a reboot comes in handy all the time!
Do check your charger too!
It used to happen with me on my old phone due to my sweaty hands! Fortunately this doesn't happen with me on my Honor!
Edit:Also check if you have Glove mode On in settings - smart assistance
bro just hand over to service center they will take care of your phone ,please don't do any hard things to phone
I did a factory reset and all seems to be working fine now. I hope it will last

Google assistant is basically useless.

I don't know if this is just me but I cant seem to get this damn feature to work. I've trained my voice to this thing a hundred times and still it won't recognize it. I have to say it 3 or 4 times and finally, once I scream it, it might work. I look like a damn fool. Is this how it's supposed to work? By the time it does work, I could have picked the phone up and done what i was asking manually. What about when youre driving, you ask?
More than not, in the unlikely event that it will work, the phone remains locked until I enter my password. I've set the unlock-by-voice to "on" and still it will never work. What's the point if I'm driving and when it finally does recognize me, I have to pick it up and unlock it?
Has anyone else had these issues?
I'm left thinking that if Google was really pushing Google Assistant as the next big thing, they've got A LOT of work to do.
Nah. It even recognize my voice in noisy room. Although not every command would heard perfectly if its too noisy. But in a normal siatuation, it pick up 95-99% of my command and do it properly

Never had an issue with the Assistant. Works in 98% of cases. Could it be that the microphone on the phone is defect?
I don't think so. It seems like once it's woken up, it acts better. The super annoying part is when the phone hears me but requires me to input my unlock code. why wouldn't it just wake up?

"hey goooogo" "Hey! Ok!" Lol
Also using "Hey Google" which works a treat, by passes lock screen, and has a sweet voice!
I have the same problem. Sometimes it takes forever to activate, and sometimes it doesn't listen when it does. I'm also having constant gps issues. May rma soon

You have to go into Google Now>Settings>Devices>Phone>Unlock With Voice Match
That should take care of the issue.

SOLVED: Stay connected when device sleeps (EVR-AL00)

PROBLEM SOLVED
Mate 20X (EVR-AL00; Build no. 9.0.0.136). I left my phone at home while downloading the new games via our Wi-Fi. But when I got back, I noticed that it has not downloaded any more data since I left it.
The culprit? The option Stay connected when device sleeps under the battery settings is DISABLED (neither ON nor OFF). Anyone else has this experience? What can be done about it?

@the_passerby5981 I figured it out, and boy your going to hate sending yours back, I was right, it is tied to something. I kept thkinking and kept coming back to this thread knowing you and I were missing something, and I found it from your screenshot and others, then tested it on mine and bingo. The reason its disabled is because it is tied to the SIM card. So that setting is tied to a sim card, and it didnt work on yours or mine because we were both testing it out without a SIM, and as soon as I put mine in to see if I was right, it enabled to turn on or off.

BUG FOUND! (Problem solved).
Android 8 had the option under WLAN and option to disable staying connected to WLAN and MOBILE as separate.
In Android 9, they are baked together under Battery. Thus, Stay awake when device sleeps gets DISABLED WHEN NO SIM IS INSERTED.

Moderators, please close the thread. I seem to not have enough privileges to do it myself.
Mine was checked on but a good one to know. Need a good week to really go thru the settings and get them set how you like. Like a maze with secret passages.

That's really strange have you ever restarted the phone since the new update. If that doesn't work you can try to reset all settings and see if that works there's no reason why yours is blocked and other people's aren't unless you have some kind of aggressive battery manager or something.

Resetting the settings did nothing. Gonna give a shot at resetting the phone. I didn't tinker with any other settings coz I wanted the phone to be up and running at once. It only happened that I hit a snag with this issue.

Just to clarify, you have the same phone and build number as mine, AND the same experience? Cannot toggle "Stay connected when device is asleep" ON/OFF?

Yes I have the same Phone and build number but I can toggle the "stay connected when device is asleep"tab on and off
1. So, there are about 5 users here with the same model number (EVR-AL00) and build number (9.0.0.136). Some can toggle "Stay connected while device sleeps", while--like me--hughey2k2 cannot. I cannot.
2. If it were a software problem, then all of us should have the same experience.
3. Does this point to, possibly, a hardware-related problem peculiar to the specific production batch? (Just to spell it out I mean, hughey2k2's phone were produced in the batch and there was a problem in production--possibly hardware--that could be the cause).
Comments?
EDIT: hughey2k2's unit does not have the same problem.
