Q:

HUAWEI Mobile Services (HMS)

In May 2020, Huawei launched its mobile operating system called HMS in South Africa. Mobile operating systems globally are primarily dominated by iOS and Android; according to apple (2017), Apple altogether sold over 2.2 Billion worldwide twelve years after its initial release. Google (2019) announced that there are currently 2.5 billion active Android devices. We can safely conclude that most South African organizations are also using Apple (iOS) and Android in their mobile devices as part of their mobile and digitization strategy.

How has HMS experience been for the organization who have adopted HMS Huawei devices for their users?

Hi there –
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this exercise. The device issued to me already has a HUAWEI ID configured.
Could:
1. Someone please supply me the password for said ID, where the # related to said I = +27 60*****55
2. I remove existing ID and create a new HUAWEI ID, if so, how do I go about doing so?

Thank you for your prompt response.
Harold

I have been using the device on the HMS platform for just over 1 week. At first I was concerned that most applications on google play store will not be available on the HMS platform. Findorra and Petal search are great which means access to all the applications I use on my android device. The HMS is userfriendly and is easy to operate and adjust. I did initially carry two devices (android and the Huawei) on the first day after having configured the Hauwei in fear of not been able to access application etc. however this this was only for the first day and have been using the Hauwei for a full 6 days without another OS or device. Even with multiple applications, the HMS OS performs well with no lag. It is also easy to find various settings and applications and the layout is easy to operate.

@Harold, one was to get around the inability to access the Huawei P40 Pro is to reset the password to the Huawei ID and this requires that you have the cellphone number that created the ID in the first place. If this is not possible, the last resort is to factory reset the Huawei P40 Pro. Since the same ID will prevent any factory resetting without a password, the mobile device will need to be taken in to Huawei Repair Centre.

@kesh, great feedback thank you. Were you able to download any of your existing enterprise application used in your organization on HMS? One of the litmus test of user friendliness is when the mobile device can be used for both consumer general use and enterprise productivity to have work, and personal profiles active in one device. I’m keen to get your feedback on that aspect?
