Huawei P40 Pro Complete Walkthrough (& What It’s Like Without Google)

Huawei just launched a new P series device and considering how good the P30 series was I was super interested to see what the new P40 series had to offer. The livestream came and went and the spec sheets for the three new devices–the P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Pro Plus (yes naming is getting more and more confusing in the phone world)–and frankly on paper at least they didn’t disappoint. Now, here in the

Huawei Mate XS Complete Walkthrough: Best Specs in a Folding Phone

Oh, all the phones that fold. They’re unique, they’re new, they invoke curiosity from people when they see them for the first time and frankly they bring a sense of excitement back into an arguably stagnating landscape of design in the world of phones. Now, they aren’t perfect by far, they’re expensive, they’re more fragile than our current devices, and they aren’t quite ready yet maybe for the mainstream, but honestly, they’re not made for

How to Fix a WearOS Watch Not Staying Connected to a Huawei Phone

I was getting pretty frustrated with my new WearOS watch (the Fossil Watch Gen 5 for those curious) would just keep disconnecting from my Huawei P30 Pro. It connects during the setup process but then after a while, the watch will just say it’s disconnected even if the phone shows that it is absolutely connected via Bluetooth. Turns out this little magic trick has to do with Huawei’s EMUI battery super aggressive battery management. Essentially,

How to Make the Mate 20 Pro Look like Stock Android

You guys asked for it so here’s my updated video on how to make the Mate 20 Pro look like stock Android (and the Mate 20 for that matter). Now, first up, stock Android isn’t really a thing anymore like it used to be. What we are referring to now when we say “stock” is the look and feel from the latest Pixel device. Personally, I love that look (a lot better than EMUI) and

Matebook X Pro Storage Fix

How to Fix the Storage on the Huawei Matebook X Pro

I have no idea why Huawei does this, but it’s super annoying. For some reason, Huawei partitions their laptops into two separate sections: one for Windows and one for “Data” instead of the normal everything-is-in-one-place approach that we’re all used to. Now, I can only assume the logic behind this decision is that its so your files are kept separate from your operating system files and while there might be benefits to this, it becomes
