如果您拥有华为(Huawei)制造的Android 智能手机或平板电脑(Android smartphone or tablet),并且想要将其连接到Windows PC,则应该使用HiSuite。您可以使用它来做一些事情,例如从智能手机浏览和导入文件(browse and import files),以及发送消息、截屏或备份您的Android 智能手机(Android smartphone),同时舒适地坐在您的Windows PC前。让我们看看如何设置HiSuite并使用它来连接您的华为智能手机(Huawei smartphone)和您的 Windows 计算机:
注意:(NOTE:)本指南是使用装有Windows 10的计算机和装有Android 8 Oreo的(Oreo)华为 P10 智能手机(Huawei P10 smartphone)创建的。适用于Windows 和 Android(Windows and Android)的HiSuite应用程序应该在所有Windows计算机以及华为(Huawei)智能手机和平板电脑上都可以类似地运行。
使用HiSuite 与(HiSuite versus)其他方法将华为智能手机(Huawei smartphone)连接到Windows 10 PC
HiSuite是华为将(Huawei)安卓设备(Android device)连接到Windows 电脑(Windows computer)的解决方案。它是两个应用程序的组合:一个用于Windows,另一个用于Android。这些应用程序旨在使用USB 电缆(USB cable)进行连接。请注意(Please note),我们发现许多关于使用HiSuite的(HiSuite)WiFi 连接(WiFi connection)的引用,但它们似乎指向该应用程序的旧版本。此功能似乎已从我们在创建本教程时使用的最新版本中消失。将智能手机连接到Windows 计算机(Windows computer)后,您可以执行以下活动:
- 概览(Overview)、导入和导出联系人(import and export contacts)、消息、图片、视频和文件。
- 查看和卸载华为设备(Huawei device)上的应用程序。
- 将您的联系人和日历与Microsoft Outlook同步。
- (Mirror)在您的Windows 计算机上(Windows computer)镜像华为智能手机(Huawei smartphone)的屏幕。
- 拍摄(Take)智能手机屏幕的屏幕截图。
- (Back Up)在计算机上备份华为智能手机(Huawei smartphone)并从中恢复。(Restore)
- 更新您的(Update)华为智能手机(Huawei smartphone)的固件。
- 在无法打开的智能手机上执行系统恢复。(System Recovery)
这些功能可通过界面的三个不同区域访问:
- 华为智能手机(Huawei smartphone)图像上的按钮。
- 我的设备(My Device)- 有不同的卡片作为快捷方式。
- HiSuite应用程序底部区域的按钮。
HiSuite的用户界面可能有点混乱,特别是因为除非您将鼠标悬停在智能手机屏幕图像按钮上,否则它们不会显示。(smartphone screen image)一旦你习惯了界面,它就会变得容易,但我们希望华为(Huawei)有更好的设计。
如果您想查看华为(Huawei)描述的完整功能列表,请查看HiSuite 功能页面(HiSuite features page)。

How do I connect my Huawei smartphone to my computer with Windows?
If you own an Android smartphone or tаblet made by Huawei and you want a way to connеct it to your Windows PC, you should use HiSuite. You can use it to do things such as browse and import files from your smartphone, as well as send messages, take screenshots, or backup your Android smartphone, all while sitting comfortably in front of your Windows PC. Let's see how to set up HiSuite and use it to connect your Huawei smartphone with your Windows computer:
NOTE: This guide was created using a computer with Windows 10 and a Huawei P10 smartphone with Android 8 Oreo. The HiSuite apps for Windows and Android should work similarly on all Windows computers and Huawei smartphones and tablets.
Using HiSuite versus other methods to connect a Huawei smartphone to a Windows 10 PC
HiSuite is Huawei's solution for connecting your Android device to your Windows computer. It is a combination of two apps: one for Windows and another for Android. The apps are designed to connect using a USB cable. Please note that we found numerous references to a WiFi connection using HiSuite, but they seem to point to older versions of the app. This feature seems to be gone from the latest version that we used while creating this tutorial. Once you connect your smartphone to your Windows computer, you can perform the following activities:
- Overview, import and export contacts, messages, pictures, videos, and files.
- View and uninstall the apps on your Huawei device.
- Synchronize your contacts and calendar with Microsoft Outlook.
- Mirror the screen of the Huawei smartphone on your Windows computer.
- Take screenshots of the smartphone's screen.
- Back Up the Huawei smartphone on the computer and Restore from it.
- Update the firmware of your Huawei smartphone.
- Perform System Recovery on a smartphone that you cannot turn on.
These features are accessed through three different areas of the interface:
- The buttons on the image of your Huawei smartphone.
- My Device - which has different cards that act as shortcuts.
- The buttons on the bottom area of the HiSuite app.
The user interface of HiSuite can be a bit confusing, especially because the smartphone screen image buttons do not show up unless you hover your mouse on them. Once you get used to the interface, it gets easy, but we wish Huawei had a better design.
If you want to check the full list of features as described by Huawei, check the HiSuite features page.
If you do not want to use the app offered by Huawei, there are alternative solutions for connecting Windows computers with Android devices although none of them offers all the features from HiSuite:
Install HiSuite on your Windows computer
HiSuite starts the installation with a Windows app developed by Huawei to integrate their devices (smartphones and tablets) with Windows computers. In your web browser, navigate to the HiSuite support page, and download the installation file. Run the installation file in Windows, named HiSuite_[version_number].exe, and follow the installation wizard without yet connecting the Huawei device to your computer.
To make sure that you have the latest version of the HiSuite app for Windows, click or tap the name of the app in the bottom-left corner, written in small letters.
If you find that there is a new version available, press the Update button.
After the new version is downloaded and installed, you are ready to connect your Huawei smartphone or tablet to your Windows computer.
Install and activate HiSuite on your Huawei device
Open HiSuite and connect your Huawei smartphone to your Windows computer by using a USB cable.
Your Huawei smartphone needs a couple of adjustments. The first one is to allow HiSuite to connect to your smartphone. Huawei has introduced a particular setting for HiSuite in their Android implementation. The message on the screen is quite explicit about what you have to do: "Go to Settings and enter HDB in the search box, and touch Allow HiSuite to use HDB."
Open Settings on your Huawei smartphone, search for "HDB" and make sure that the "Allow HiSuite to use HDB" setting is turned on. The full access path in Settings is: "Security & Privacy → More (SIM lock, Device administrators) → Allow HiSuite to use HDB."
If the smartphone fails to show up in HiSuite in future connections, disable the HDB setting and enable again. If the HiSuite app is not already installed on your Android smartphone, the Windows app is going to push this process.
After the Android app is installed (it may take a couple of minutes depending on your device and your internet connection), you get a new message on the smartphone. We suggest checking "Always allow HiSuite connection from this computer" to avoid this prompt in the future. Press OK.
We are done with the software installations and we can proceed to use the application.
Use HiSuite to overview, import and export contacts, messages, pictures, videos, and files
The HiSuite app has an area called My Device that allows the transfer of the contacts, messages, pictures, and videos to and from Windows 10 computer and the Android smartphone. The main screen of the Windows app lists the number of entries found on the smartphone from each category in a separate card. Click or tap on one of the cards to open its screen. When you can click or tap My Device, it opens the last area used in the current session of HiSuite.
HiSuite allows you to view, manage, and transfer information between the Windows computer and the Huawei device for contacts, messages, pictures, videos, and files. Use the navigation area on the left side to switch between each category of information.
When you use My Device in HiSuite to manage transfers between the Windows computer and the Huawei smartphone or tablet, HiSuite shows the following action buttons:
- Import - get information from the Windows computer and store it on the Huawei device.
- Export - get information from the Huawei device and store it on the Windows computer.
- Delete - the selected entries are deleted from the Huawei device.
- Refresh - updates the list of entries in HiSuite with the latest information from the Huawei device.
- New - available only for Messages, it allows you to create and send a new SMS message from HiSuite in Windows.
Please note that although HiSuite lists all the contacts from your Huawei smartphone, it can manage only the contacts stored on your SIM card, and in the smartphone's internal storage. It cannot manage the contacts stored in your Google account or social media apps. Such contacts are neither visible nor managed in HiSuite.
In the navigation area, you can open a File Manager that allows the transfer and management of files on the smartphone. In the File Manager, you get additional buttons for Copy, Paste, and New folder, which work the same as in the File Explorer in Windows.
Use HiSuite to uninstall apps from your Huawei smartphone
The list of apps installed on the smartphone is also visible in HiSuite. The only operation you can do in the HiSuite app is to uninstall them (you get buttons only for Uninstall and Refresh). The advantage of using HiSuite is that you can uninstall a large number of apps with a single action. If you want to clean up the app drawer on your Huawei device, HiSuite allows you to review and uninstall apps from the comfort of your Windows screen.
Use HiSuite to synchronize your Huawei smartphone with Microsoft Outlook
The last two options in My Device allow the synchronization of Microsoft Outlook with your Huawei smartphone (contacts and calendar). It may be especially useful for corporate settings where Outlook remains the dominant email client.
In the navigation area on the left side of the screen, you have an Outlook group with two possible selections underneath: Sync Contacts and Sync Calendar. On the right side of the screen, you can see the number of entries (contacts or calendar appointments) present on the Huawei device and in Outlook. Underneath, you have a Sync button that synchronizes Contacts or Calendar, depending on what you selected in the left navigation bar.
Use HiSuite to mirror the screen and take screenshots of the Huawei smartphone on your Windows computer
On the bottom of the Huawei device image, found in the Home tab of HiSuite, you find four action buttons for Demonstrate, Refresh, Screenshot, and Open.
When you press Demonstrate, the image of your Huawei devices goes full screen in Windows. You can display, change orientation, freeze or take screenshots while the session is running. The Refresh button freshens up the screen image. It is done automatically by HiSuite, but it can lag a few seconds. The Screenshot button has a small arrow to the right that allows the option of taking screenshots of the Huawei device in the clipboard or in files stored in the Windows computer. The Open button opens the folder on the Windows computer where the screenshots are stored.
Use HiSuite to back up, restore, update or recover the Huawei smartphone
The bottom area of the main screen in HiSuite houses four more action buttons: Back Up, Restore, Update, and System Recovery.
The Back Up and Restore work on the following data from the Huawei device: Contacts, Messages, Call log, Notes, Recordings, Calendar, Pictures, Music, Videos, Documents, Apps and Data, and System Settings. In the case of Contacts, Pictures, Music, Apps and Data, and System settings, you can refine your selection to individual items. For security purposes, you can encrypt your backups and secure them with a password. The backup and restore are done using a folder on your Windows computer.
The Update button checks for the latest firmware available for your Huawei device using the internet connection of your Windows computer. If a newer version is available, you can download and install it using HiSuite.
The System recovery is a crisis intervention action on your Huawei device. If you cannot turn the device on, you can connect it to your Windows computer, and attempt to revive it using this feature of HiSuite.
