Manufacturers are always tweaking their interfaces, and with EMUI, you can easily see the changes from the Chinese manufacturer. The user interface offers an experience that is different from the original Android. In this article, we're going to look at some of the features worth knowing to get the most out of your smartphone, whether it's , or the Honor View 10, just to name a few devices from the ever-growing Huawei/Honor family.
Important: There may be slight differences between Honor and Huawei devices.
How to customize the interface?
One of the strengths of EMUI is, without a doubt, the level of customization. Use your own photo as a background, collect applications in a separate tray, set up physical or virtual keys, rearrange applications on the screens, so that the interface suits your tastes and needs in just a few steps.
Background change: Settings - Display - Wallpaper - Set wallpaper - Gallery / Other.
Application Tray: Settings - Display - Home screen style - Application tray.
Choose how to navigate the system: Settings - Smart Assistant - System Navigation. Here you can tell your device how to activate the single navigation key to access the home screen, secondary screen, and recent activities, whether to activate the virtual navigation bar (by customizing a keyboard shortcut), or choose a quick menu.
Change Quick Settings: Pull down the drop down menu and click on the pencil icon.
Tailor your smartphone to your needs.
Change layouts and arrangement of applications: press and hold on an empty space on the home screen, then tap Settings. In this section, you can reorganize your apps, even by shaking your phone to shuffle shortcuts.
Battery Percentage Display: Settings - Apps & Notifications - Notifications & Status Bar - Battery percentage: Do not show / Next to the battery icon.
Add contact information to your lock screen: Settings - Security & privacy - Screen lock & passwords - Lock screen recording.
Disable the step counter on the lock screen: Settings - Security & privacy - Screen lock & passwords - Show step count on lock screen.
Customize the background, widgets and transitions.
Go to display menu
We often underestimate the importance of image and screen related settings. We're not only talking about the brightness level, but also about the ability to change the color rendering of the displayed content, as well as adjusting the font sizes.
Font size: Settings - Display - Text size.
Changing the size of interface elements: Settings - Display - View mode.
Screen resolution: Settings - Display - Screen resolution.
Screen Brightness: Settings - Display - Brightness.

Increasing touch screen sensitivity in winter: Settings - Smart Assistance - Glove Mode.
Displaying photos on the lock screen while charging: Settings - Display - Screen saver.
We speed up interaction with the device
Not all options offered by the device are useful. EMUI offers some features that we recommend using because they allow you to optimize your phone experience by reducing the number of gestures or swipes needed to get to one function or another.
Search files faster: Swipe from the home screen, you will see the search bar.
Calling a contact from the screen: press and hold the volume key, say the contact's name after the beep.
Wake up Google Assistant: press and hold the home button, use voice command (don't forget to activate the function from the Google app).
Open the app by drawing the first letter: Settings - Smart Assistance - Motion Control - Drawing.
Split the screen into two with a gesture: Settings - Smart Assistance - Motion Control - Split Screen Gesture.
Enabling fast startup: on the lock screen, swipe up and down to access the sound recorder, flashlight, calculator, timer, or camera.
All you have to do is tap to open Quick Launch.
Use two WhatsApp / Facebook accounts: Settings - Applications and Notifications - Similar applications.
Enable Face Unlock: Settings - Security & privacy - Face unlock.
Enable one-hand control: Settings - Smart Assistance - User Interface - Mini Screen.
Take a screenshot: Instead of the classic keyboard shortcut Volume Down + Power, tap the screen a few times with your finger.
Security
Locking your device with a PIN, password, gesture sequence, fingerprint scanner, or facial recognition will help protect your data. And if you want to hide something from prying eyes, you will find specialized four functions for this task!
Install one or more fingerprints: Settings - Security and privacy - Fingerprint scanner.
Create a personal space on your smartphone by enabling the function of the same name: Settings - Security and privacy - PrivateSpace.
Encryption of photos, audio, video and other files: Settings - Security and privacy - Safe files - Enable.
Block access to some applications: Settings - Security and privacy - App lock.
ViaPrivateSpace you can keep two "worlds" on one device!

If your smartphone supports this technology, you can use fast charging to get the energy you need in a short time.
Turn on power saving mode. To limit applications in the background, turn off automatic email sync and system sounds.

After purchasing a new Android device, resetting the settings or reinstalling the system, many phone users are wondering:
How to create an account on the phone to be able to use the additional benefits that Google provides to registered users?
This article will tell you what opportunities registration with Google provides, and whether you need to create a profile at all.
Why create an account on your phone?
Registering with Google allows you to use additional features in the Android system, such as:
- Mailbox.
- Save and manage files in Google drive.
- Synchronize information from your phone and transfer it to another device, including contacts and email messages.
In addition, creating a profile on an Android phone allows you to log in to third-party resources that use the Google API.
Create a Google account?
Before creating a profile, make sure that your phone has access to the Internet, without it it is impossible to register.
After that, open the "settings" menu and find the "accounts" submenu.
Click "Add account" and select "Google" from the menu that opens.
We indicate our data, first and last name, this can be done in Russian or English.
Please note that by default they will appear in emails to your email recipients as sender data.
You can change the data later in the Google service settings on the website or on your phone.
Now you need to come up with a combination of characters for your profile, you should use only Latin characters, dots or dashes.
Come up with a combination that you can easily remember, and also that you like it, for example, your first and last name, separating them with a dot, etc.
After a short wait, during which Google will check if the login you have created is free, you will be offered one of the options:
- Come up with a new username, since the one specified is already used by someone.
Advice! In order not to sort through the login options a large number of times, use the original character combinations. Please note that usersGooglethere are already hundreds of millions, and the chance that the combination of characters you came up with is already in use is very high. Use numbers in combination with letters in various combinations to make your login more unique.
When your original login is found, we come up with a unique password and enter it in the appropriate field.
The password must consist of Latin characters and numbers. The more complex the password, the more secure your profile will be.
Try not to enter a password that is too short, alternate letters with numbers, and use different letter cases.
We repeat the password again to make sure that you remember it well, and click the “next” arrow.
After that, you will be prompted to configure your password recovery options.
You can skip this step, but it's better to spend a little time and protect yourself from losing your password and risking losing all your data due to simple forgetfulness. Click "configure settings".
We accept the terms of use and the company's privacy policy.
In the next step, you may need to enter characters to protect against automatic registration. We type the letters and press the "next" arrow.
After communicating with the server, the installer will prompt you to set the payment details.
It should be noted that payments through Google services are quite safe.
However, after linking the card, there is a risk of accidentally paying for content that advertising banners will offer you in programs and browser.
To avoid an unpleasant situation, it is better to skip this step. Moreover, you can always return to it later. Click "no thanks".
The next step is to mark the information that you would like to transfer from the data store to the new device.
Since you need to create a new profile, there is nothing to synchronize yet, so just click the "next" arrow.
Now the creation of an account on the Android phone is completed.
You can freely use Google services, sync contacts, mail and data, and enjoy other benefits of a registered Google user.
This instruction is suitable for all Android devices, including the ability to create a profile on Samsung phones and tablets.
Write down your username and password from the profile on a sheet in a place where it cannot fall into the hands of strangers.
If necessary, you can restore all your data to a new device or when resetting the Android operating system to factory settings.

What are the payment processing times?
The payment is credited to the company's settlement account after being debited from your card and processed by Sberbank.
I have placed an order, how long does it take to pay?
The order can be paid within 24 hours.
If payment is not received after 24 hours, the order will be automatically cancelled.
If money was debited from my account, but I did not receive a payment notification from the store, what should I do?
- With a large number of simultaneously received orders, there is a possibility of delays with notifications. As a rule, they should arrive within 24 hours.
- Delays and failures in the operation of terminals between Sberbank and our order accounting system are also possible.
- If the status “Paid” is not displayed in your personal account after 24-48 hours, and the money was debited from the account, contact the operator by calling the hotline and describe the situation that has arisen, providing the hotline with the payment number (letter from Sberbank) and order number ( letter from Huawei). The operator will transfer your data to the financial department and the order accounting service, and will also notify you of the status of the order.
I paid for the order, but I did not receive a check in the mail. What to do?
Most likely, the check ended up in the Spam folder. First of all, you need to check your mail. If you didn’t receive a letter with a check, check the information provided in your Personal Account, there may have been a mistake in the e-mail. If the mail address was written correctly, we advise you to contact the hotline to send the check again.
I paid for the order to the courier, can I get a check by mail?
Unfortunately, in this case, the receipt is provided by the courier company, and Huawei cannot provide you with a receipt for the purchase. The company can provide you with a consignment note, as well as an invoice for the purchase made when contacting the hotline, but we still advise you to keep the receipt provided by the courier.
Why was my order canceled even though I paid for it?
If your personal account displays the order cancellation status, but you have not canceled the order, check with the hotline operator the reason for the cancellation (this may be a failure in the order accounting system or an insufficient amount of goods in stock). If you have already paid for the order, the operator will make a request to update the status to "Paid" and your order will be processed further in the normal mode. This process may take 1 to 3 days.
Cancellation and return
You made an order during a promotion, in which case the shipment and delivery may be delayed by 2-3 days

Smartphones based on the Android operating system function with a link to a Google account. Thanks to this, user identification is performed and data is synchronized. It is often observed that some users manage to do without binding, losing many of the features provided by the Android operating system. How to create an account on your phone and take advantage of all the benefits and advanced functionality of this OS?
What is an account and how to create one
When installing Windows on our computer, we create accounts (accounts) for one or more users so that each of them can customize the operating system to their liking. As for the Android operating system, it is arranged differently, and each device is personal. And in order to remember the personalization parameters, Google accounts are used. What are the features of a Google account?
- Synchronization of contacts with the Google cloud service;
- Saving application settings;
- Creating conditions for migration with your data and contacts to other mobile devices;
- Saving browser history and saving bookmarks;
- Saving information about installed applications;
- Identification in Google services - Youtube, Drive, Play Movies, Play Press, Play Music and many others;
- Identification in the social network Google+.
Also, a Google account is used to identify players in the "Play Games" - a great opportunity to save your achievements in your account. If the user changes their smartphone or tablet, it can migrate to a new device with almost all of its data- with mail, photos, videos, contacts and other information. Much of this is stored in the cloud, saving space on smartphones and tablets.
The most interesting feature is the saving of the phone book. Previously, we had to transfer contacts almost manually, copying not only names, but also additional data fields. As a result, the transfer took whole hours, and sometimes days.
There were also programs for synchronization, but they did not allow transferring between phones of different brands. Today, when most devices run on the Android operating system, it only takes a minute to transfer contacts, as they are stored on Google's servers.
How to create an account on an Android phone
You can use your phone or computer to create an account on your Android phone or tablet. If you chose to register from a computer, go to the Google website, click on the "Sign in" menu and proceed to create a new account. The following data is indicated here:
- Login and password;
- Name and surname;
- Date of Birth;
- Mobile phone;
- The country;
- Alternate email address.
Mail and phone are used in the future to restore access to the account in case of password loss. After registration, the user receives an account in the form of an email address in the gmail.com domain, for example, [email protected] As soon as the Google account is ready, you need to add it to your smartphone.
If you want to register an account through a smartphone or tablet, turn on the device, go to "Settings - Accounts" and click on the line with the Google icon. Next, the system will prompt you to create a new account or enter the details of an existing account. We choose to create a new one and proceed to registration by analogy with the above instructions.
If you have purchased a new smartphone or tablet, you will be able to create a new account when the device starts, after connecting it to the Internet.
After you link your device to your Google account, all services and email will be automatically linked to this account (it has the same address as the account itself). And by setting up synchronization of data and phone book, you will ensure the reliable storage of all your files and contacts in the Google cloud storage.
If you are tired of your operator
Guys, we know perfectly well that operators raise prices and force subscribers to connect services that the latter do not want to use. Fortunately, now there is a great opportunity to go to another operator with your number. There are virtual operators that provide very good rates and cool benefits when porting a number. One of them is Tinkoff Mobile, which is increasingly chosen by visitors to our site.
