12.21 What can I do if I forget the screen unlock pattern or
password?

When you set the screen unlock pattern, set a backup numeric password according to the
onscreen instructions. When you forget the screen unlock pattern, you can use the backup
numeric password to unlock the screen.

If you forget the backup unlock password, you can update your phone.

Updating your phone erases all user data from your phone.

Select an update mode for your phone.



Updating using a microSD card:

−

Visit Huawei's official website and download the software update package
corresponding to your phone model.

−

Copy the

dload

folder in the software package to a microSD card's root directory.

−

Power off the phone and insert the microSD card into your phone.

−

Then, press and hold the power, volume up, and volume down keys simultaneously
until the Android robot icon appears.

−

Your phone will be updated and restored to its factory settings.



Updating using a storage device:

−

Visit Huawei's official website and download the software update package
corresponding to your phone model.

−

Copy the

dload

folder in the software package to a USB flash drive's root directory.

−

Power off your phone, and use a USB OTG cable to connect your phone to the USB
flash drive.

−

Then, simultaneously press and hold the power, volume up, and volume down buttons
until the Android robot icon appears. Your phone will be automatically updated.

To purchase a USB OTG cable, visit Vmall or contact your device vendor.

Your phone will be restored to its factory settings after the update.

If your phone can't be updated, contact Huawei technical support or take your phone to an
authorized Huawei service center.

12.22 Why is the touchscreen slow or unresponsive during
normal use?

Check whether there is a screen protective film attached. Some screen protective films affect
the touchscreen function when they are badly scratched.

Opening a large app or lots of background apps may temporarily cause the phone to freeze,
making the touchscreen unresponsive.

Wait patiently or clean up background apps and then check whether the touchscreen has
returned to normal.
