Nothing is flawless right? Huawei P9 – the latest flagship from Huawei, still has some problems just like many other smartphones! Today we’ll show you the most common Huawei P9 problems and how to solve them!

1. Problem No.1: Phone doesn’t update properly

The first one on this list of Huawei P9 problems is: phone doesn’t update properly. In this case, there are any solutions. In the beginning, make sure you haven’t tapped the Pause button accidentally. If it still doesn’t work, it could be that your smartphone’s battery is not more than 20%. Because the updating process consumes a lot of battery life.

Another thing that might lead to the updating error is that you phone has been rooted before! If you have tried the solutions above but it still doesn’t work, the error could be the consequence of rooting your device. In that case, you can conduct the update by using HiSuite in the appstore. In addition, you can use Recovery Mode to bring your phone back to its original. Then you can start updating your phone normally.

2. Problem No.2: Phone doesn’t charge normally

Bad charging is one of the common Huawei P9 problems. Either the phone doesn’t charge or it doesn’t charge in a normal way. In this case, here are the solutions: First, restart your phone and charge it again. Then, if it remains troublesome, take a look at the charger and the cable to see if there is any damage, any obstacle in the charging port or does the small tab insides the port doesn’t stay at the right the right place. Another way is try replacing the current charger with another charger. If it works, then you have to buy a new charger. If it still doesn’t, try wiping the cache partition in the phone’s setting. If it STILL doesn’t work, I’m afraid you have to have your phone inspected by Huawei’s customer service.

3. Problem No.3: Unable to view files or photos when connected to PC

This is another common issue among Huawei P9 problems. But in fact, this issue is very easy to solve! First up, remember to unlock your phone whenever you connect it to your computer. Only when you unlock your phone are you allowed to view the files on your laptop. There are cases when you need to use the photos mode in order to view them.

4. Problem No.4: Apps close automatically when phone is locked

This is Huawei’s effort to help users save the phone battery. But in fact, it’s annoying sometimes when you leave your phone for a while then turn back finding your current task automatically closed. But it’s easy to solve this problem. Go to Phone Manager > xx% remaining > Protected apps. In this section, you can choose which apps you wanna save when you lock your phone. But you can choose only 5 apps maximum.

5. Problem No.5: Camera doesn’t open or freezes while in use

This is one of the most annoying Huawei P9 problems. In this case, try closing the camera apps then open it again. A more successful way is to clear the cache of your phone’s camera by going to Settings > Apps > Camera > Storage. If the same problem still happens, restart your phone or try factory reset: Advanced settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
