Using Landscape Window on my HUAWEI computer

Multi-Screen Collaboration now comes with a Landscape Window mode, which allows you to open phone apps in large landscape windows on your computer.

Prerequisites

Detailed operations

  1. Set up a collaboration between your computer and phone using any one of the following methods.

    Collaboration mode may vary depending on the model. Select a collaboration mode based on your device.

    • Method 1: Through OneHop

      Enable NFC on your phone, and tap the NFC area of your phone (with screen unlocked) against the Huawei Share sensor area or the tag on your computer until your phone plays the prompt tone or vibrates. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up collaboration.

    • Method 2: Through Huawei PC Manager

      Open Huawei PC Manager, and go to My devices > My phone > CONNECT in Huawei PC Manager and connect the computer to your phone via Bluetooth or QR code.

      When your phone and computer are connected via a USB cable, Landscape Window is not supported.

    • Method 3: Through Super Device
      1. Log in to the same HUAWEI ID on your phone and computer.
      2. Place your phone close to the computer and click the Control Panel icon in the lower right corner of the computer screen. Devices that can be connected nearby will be automatically detected and displayed in Super Device. Click the device to be collaborated for quick collaboration. (You can also click the magnifier icon in Control Panel to search for nearby devices.)

  2. After your computer and phone have been connected for collaboration, you can then use Landscape Window.

      • Only certain mobile apps support Landscape Window.
      • Mobile apps do not support switching between large and small windows. That is, apps that support Landscape Window cannot be displayed in small windows.

        • Press and hold the app icon and select Open in new window.

        • Double-click to open the app and click the plus sign in the title bar of the window.

      2. The app displays a large landscape twin window.

      3. In the twin window, click the add button to create a note.

      4. After a note is created and saved, click the back button on the title bar of the window to switch back one directory.

    • App Multiplier

      Only certain mobile apps support App Multiplier.

      1. In the collaboration window, open a phone app in either of the following ways (a news app is used as an example):
        • Press and hold the app icon on the desktop and select Open in new window.

        • Double-click to open the app and click the plus sign in the title bar of the window.

      2. After you click a news item on the home screen, the news details are displayed on the right, as shown in the following figure.

      3. Press and hold in the middle of the split screen and move it leftward or rightward to adjust the proportion of the app's home screen and details screen.

      4. Click on the top of the split screen. When the icon changes to , the association between the left and right windows is cancelled, and the two windows can then work independently.
