New apps after updating Mate 8 - Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have recently shifted from Samsung to Huewei Mate 8. Today my phone got an update (L29C185B180). Now I can see dropbox, clean master and booking.com installed on it, I have no idea from where they came from. Does this has something to do with the latest update?

Google+ and hangouts

Hey guys i have bought n8013 last week and google+ and talk was installed on it but when i updated them via playstore, they do not work anymore because when i open them they tell me to update my system even though when i check for updates it shows i have the latest version.
Please help guys its been a week im trying to solve this problem.
Thank you
You'll either have to put a custom rom or roll back versions. Check out gapps early on g+ (use web browser) for previous versions. The n8013 will not get official kitkat (not confirmed but Samsung has proven it by ignoring us for months)

You're running Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916? This is the latest version in the play store. I am running N8013 stock rooted and I got this after I updated to the latest google plus:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JohnWolf_PDX/posts/dAsRmkuPT2c?cfem=1
Do you have a link to the Android Central leaked Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916 apk that works on 4.1.2? I looked and couldn't find one that worked.
Also, the latest version of hangouts(not sure of the version, I don't have my tablet with me at the moment) just crashes constantly when I open it up.
I really don't want to have to do a factory reset...

I Think I Installed this then installed the latest google plus from play store. This Is the Hangout Dialer app. But if not mistaken its been updated since release.. Sorry im Vague .
I have a similar problem on the N8010 (Belgium).
Hangouts crashes and Google+ asks for an update. Even worse, some Samsung apps (video editor, store) have been pushed last week from samsung themselves having the same problem.
The root cause is that these are applications pushed for android 4.4 (a galaxy s2 gets the same new apps, but compiled/modified for Android 4.1).
In my case, the 4.4 update for the note is pushed to all countries around me (Netherlands, Germany, France, UK,...) but not Belgium yet. Somehow there is a mismatch between the region the play store (and samsung store) thinks should be on kitkat compared to the real rollout.

Honor 8 (UK) update to Android 7.0/Nougat?

Hi all,
I'm from the UK and have the Honor 8, was wondering when I might be receving the Android 7.0/Nougat update?
Reason being, I've bought the phone and don't want to start using it until the update is installed, I liked the look of the Beta ect..
Maybe there is a way to update it manually? My phone is stock btw.
Cheers.
Depending on the variant of the Honor 8 you have, the update should be rolling out shortly. If you're eager to update your phone however, there are various methods available that should allow you to update your phone to Nougat; just do a quick look through of the other subforums for the Honor 8and you'll find your answer.

Look at this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/debrand-frd-al00-to-frd-l09-update-to-t3552445
Just skip root/debranding part. Charles method works seamlessly...
No I'm running N in FRD-L09 and it works great. It's really stable and EMUI5 is just amazing.

Nougat update is here UK and maybe other countries

Good day all I have two Honor 8s both with UK B131 firmware. Been checking updates for Android 7 but not luck.
So I updated my Huawei ID software to 2.4.1.304_OVE one one deviceand then checked for firmware update of my OS and low and behold the new update is there. 2.38GB and downloaded.
I check once again with my other device which l had not updated the Huawei ID, each time I checked for new OS it came back No Update.. So I once again updated my Huawei ID to the one above once installed I checked for new updated. The new update was there did the download and installed reboot and it's all good to go...
So give it a try if you still not seeing new update each time you try..
??
Now to try out the Twin app...
Things I have notice that has been fixed in Android 7
World clock now list County and city for La Réunion - Saint-Denis. Had to use Mauritius settings in the past.
Glad to hear that. Can you provide screenshot of baseband version, security patch level date and kernel version?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Huawei ID update available here too, FRD- L09

No its not from play store. Go to the Huawei ID once open in the menu Check for updates.. This is what I did and it will show the new Huawei ID update and just download and install no need for reboot.. There after checking check for New OS..
Just a address note I have since done this to two more Honor 8s (4 now) and they all update to. Android 7 this way.. Maybe there is a trigger in the new Huawei ID software?

I should image so in the near future but in the mean time going to see how this Nougat pans out as it is..
Side Note
Twin app when used with Whatsapp is a must for dual sim devices and it works with no lag on the phone.. All default OS settings and firmware
I got my Honor ID update but no OS update here.
I'm in the UK maybe it will turn up later

@fnudaniel83, i'm still on the software from the 18.01.2017. I will wait before update, because from 7am to 20 pm i have 6 hrs SOT and 40℅ battery left at my usage. The phone is very responsive and fast. I mean i am very, very glad.
My posts in all the topics, related to the Android 7.0 are provoked by the same questions as yours- is there any real differences in versions, or Huawei are shocked by themselves and they dont know what they doing? [emoji23] [emoji23]
You are welcome!

[App] Googlefier Easiest Way to Install GMS or GApps

I read about Googlefier a week ago in an XDA article over here and was overwhelmed to see how easy the process has become to install GMS.
Guys who don't have Google Mobile Services yet and want to try their hands on after knowing how easy the process is now, can head to the thread in the below link and try themselves.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/googlefier-install-gms-huawei-honor-t4180485
Don't forget to report here if it worked for you or not so that other P40/P40 Pro users can benefit.
I had GMS installed on my phone since June until 3 days ago. Everything was working flawlessly until i changed password on Google. Hence changed password i had to login everywhere again. That's when nightmare began.
I had to redo my phone, so I made a backup via HiSuite(latest version) and then used HiSuiteProxy to downgrade, but it didn't work with last version. I installed older version of HiSuite on my PC(550 I think) and was be able to downgrade.
After downgrade I tried Googlefeier. At first it didn't work and I was a bit stressed because everything took a lot of time then I had in plan to invest into this process. I tried to restore back up but it didn't work. While restoring password prompted was not right. I fixed this by updating HiSuite. So remember, you can restore your back up made by HiSuite only with same version of program. You can't use different versions of HiSuite to make/restore backups.
Ok, back to Googlefeier: Read and remember carefully instructions said by program. Watch some video clips. After about 3 times with trying to install/deleting, i was finally able to do it. But keep in mind that I came to step 8 and stopped there because everything works now.
I send picture of how program should look like.
If you fail with it, delete everything through program and re-do.
Also one very big thing not mentioned by Googlefeier. Once chinese G application has been installed on your device, press home and launch the app. Click on only one option you can click, written on chinese and then switch to Googlefeier app, continue set up.
One more time, do not continue set up without launching chinese application. Run it as soon as you install it because Googlefeier wont do it for you.
Best of luck to everyone.

Hello, after uploading the google application (googlefier), do you have the option to update the system? Because, it keeps telling me that version 134 is up to date and not showing newer versions ... Thanks and regards
Hi there,
I just bought Huawei y8p keeping in view the Google fier app.
My emui version is 10.1.
When I try to install Google fier and after backup the G app doesn't work. It says it is not compatible with your device in Chinese. Or something like that.
Yesterday my phone updated but the G app wasn't working on the older version as well.
IDK from which emui it updated to which. But current version is 10.1.
I think I checked before and before it was also emui 10.1
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Try enter HiCare app (ou Support app, dont know that app name in english), chance your country to another, for example Portugal etc, then check "Quick Services", and tap on "Updates". In that way It will work. If it's not, change country... In onde time or another, It will work.

I wouldn't bother mate.. I bought this phone after seeing the dual space way of getting Google apps. Installed them all and worked fine even getting notifications, next day nothing worked.. Installed all again, logged in etc, again next day nothing worked...Seems I was actually lucky to get them installing as a lot of people just get spinning downloading from play store and never install. I'm now just trying to live life without Google and logging in online for all my banking / shares / pension stuff etc

Help getting back to android 10

Hi guys.
New to this forum.
Been searching through the threads but really struggling to work this out.
I bought this phone because it was great for COD mobile. Worked perfectly with my dualshock 4 controller now after the latest 11 update the buttons are messed up. Figured Sony would have fixed this considering they sell the phone with advertising specifically for this gane, oh and they make the controller as well! Madness!
Anyway I've tried using newflasher to get back to the last 10 update but with no luck. Presumably because of the rollback protection in 11. I did manage it once but that was on the first update this new one just won't do it.
Is there anyway of maybe wiping the OS and flashing a new clean install of android 10?
Worried about rooting because I don't really want to lose my warranty or any features (or screw the phone up) Don't think it's possible without doing that but would be grateful for any advice anyone can offer!
Thanks
Hey I go back from 11 to 10 with this rom:
Sony Xperia 5 II | XperiaFirmware.com
xperiafirmware.com
I have used newflasher and IT worked.

Thanks for the info.
I tried quite a few times but it wouldnt go back for some reason. It did work from the first A11 update but once you update to the latest one you cant go back at all.
Luckily it looks like they've worked the problem out between themselves and controller now works with COD and better than before!

You made my day! Yesterday I bought this nice piece of Hardware and spent around 12 hours (reading almost all tutorials in the whole internet) to install Magisk on a XQ52-AS52 58.1.A.5.330 (Android 11). No chance at all.
After downgrading to 58.0.A.28.51 it works very well. Thank you a lot!
Will the firmware on the link work on a XQ-AS62? I have been looking to downgrade from Android 12 to Android 10. Thanks!
