Hi,
After a large amount of searching, I wonder if anyone would have an apk of the latest Xperia Email app.
I have updated to the N preview, and it is not available on that or in the play store, like the calendar is.
Would anyone have an idea where I could look for it?

Xperia Email application haven't available on Play store. That's all.
I've been trying to get push notifications to work on my phone for email specifically.
I don't know about all of the lazy fix and other fixes available.
For me i got Google services mostly working and didn't want to play with that.
I downloaded an app called blue mail from the app gallery, also available on the play store.
Very good app and my push notifications are working very well.
Just wanted to share. Maybe it'll help someone.
Have you checked the delay from sent email to received notification?
Yahoo email app is better.
Need to freeze GMS.

Yeah i still keep the yahoo app for the account key.
I don't want to freeze the GMS services. Luckily the blue mail app works well even with that enabled.

I also use BlueMail, till now this is the best app imo.
I sync my calendars for all accounts with BlueMail which is perfect. For example the Outlook app not only has notifications broken but also doesn't allow you to sync your calendar with the phone's Calendar app which is very strange.

How can anyone answer your question if you do not tell us what configuration you are running !?
yahoo mail app notifications as per below ...
a) HMS + microG = ok
b) HMS + GMS + icebox freeze = ok
c) HMS naked = can't remember.
d) HMS + GMS + GSF disabled by adb ( works for me)

I have HMS + GMS and no icebox freeze. If I install icebox freeze will I be able to use Play Store?

of course not ..
HMS + GMS + icebox = notifications but no Play Store
HMS + GMS = Play Store but no notifications
suggest you use icebox and freeze .. then update apps with Aurora or apkpure app stores.
I will wait for a full solution... I read and also for me Google Pay is not working... I still have my old P30 but I do not like to move around with 2 phones...

You will wait for a long time .. already about 6 months and no improvement.
If you really want to use google, then sell the phone.
If you want to de-google your life a bit, then switch to other options for music, apps, youtube, email, etc ... although there are no other options for NFC payment unless you live in a country with Huawei Pay compatible banks.
Very hard to de-Google-myself when you have a lot of Google android stuffs... And another 6-7 phones working perfectly. Kids with YouTube as favorite program who knows how to cast on their LG tv's, payments, banks who does not accept accounts if you are not Google certified... I was thinking they will find a way to solve this issues...

i was hoping too .. I thought the power of Huawei might prevail ... but I have given up now ... I registered for notifications with about 40 apps when I got the phone ... guess how many have been made available on Huawei App Gallery? ... Zero .. doesn't look like developers are interested.
No improvements in the XDA hacks to get GMS/GPS working correctly .. always a struggle that doesn't seem like it can be beaten.
Now I have a Note 20 Ultra 5G.
Fuxk. I think I will follow your way, unfortunately

i sold mine for a good price luckily ... disappointing as I was really looking forward to move to the new Mate 40 .. but no more Huawei at the moment.
you can see on the forum here, there is very little interest ... not many threads & posts.
I managed to put the ice freeze and now I have notifications but no Google play store
Can you please help how to make Aurora store default store so I do not have to press download and go to Play store where I see a big error. Please...
I don't understand ... Never open or use Google Play store now so just keep frozen ... Install aurora app store APK and open aurora app store and update each app or install new apps
For example when I am in Facebook and when I press install Messanger it will drive me through... Directly to Google Play store.
I want to redirect me directly to Aurora Play store.
In Windows it is called default program.
Install MicroG and all notifications work without Google Play store.

HMS+microG ... does not work for all notifications unfortunately ... you might be lucky and your essential apps are working correctly with notifications .. but it is not a perfect fix for notifications .. frozen GMS is reliable.
For me, Skype notifications were broken with HMS+microG .. hence had to use HMS+GMS+icebox
HI,
Not sure if this the correct place to ask. However I have a Pixel 5 on order and given that this is only £100 more I was thinking i might cancel the PIxel 5.
However what I really like about the PIxels is that they have no bloatware on, facebook etc.
Can anyone say if there is much bloatware on this phone?
Cheers

Thanks for the list. Doesn't look to bad.
What concerns me is do they have any tie up to Facebook apis like some of the new OS's
Thanks again
What about Facebook?
Ahh man, missed that....
I wonder how deeply embedded it is into the OS. I know that on Xiaomi the integration can't be removed/disabled.
On a side note I would pay extra so that I could have blank OS, similar to android one.

Facebook was also present, I could only disable the app.
Are there any disadvantages for disabling apps instead of uninstalling them ?

They basically do the same but uninstalling will free up the space they took
There is.
Received mine yesterday and I was shocked about the preinstalled Apps.
Facebook, LinkedIn AND Call of Duty, which I couldn't delete. Don't know if I could deactivate them but I deleted those apps with adb.
The Google Apps are no Bloatware and shouldn't be removed if You want a fully functional Smartphone. Buy a Huawei if You don't want that....
So at the End. Bloatware are Apps that are not from the OEM or the Owners of Android. Facebook, Amazon, Games, Netflix. You should wonder why this is pre-installed. And out of Developer View (winkywinky) is it just funny how You think that removing of the Main Apps with ADB would mean they aren't working anymore. There is a lot of background stuff working that You can't remove or disable without Bootloader Unlock (Another thing which speaks for a Huawei if You want that). Just Saying, You are on XDA...
Hello everyone!
I have just started developing apps and noticed that the AdMob ads are not shown some users that downloaded the app from a 3rd party app stores (Amazon App Store, APKMirror, etc.). I found out that those users do not have installed Google services meaning that the ads cannot be shown.
Question: Which AdMob alternative can I use that does not rely on Google services so I can show the ads to every user from every app store and generate revenue?
Thank you!
