Hi,
has anybody idea why is the top rated relatively new Huawei Mate 8 phone (runs Android Marshmallow) incompatible with the Android Auto app?
Google says on the troubleshooting pages:
My phone is incompatible
Some phones with Android Lollipop (5.0) and higher may be incompatible with Android Auto. If you see an "Incompatible phone" notification when opening the Android Auto app, your phone may not have enough memory or a video encoder that supports Android Auto.
The Mate 8 is a powerful phone: it is quite unlikely that there is an issue with the memory. Is there a workaround ? An apk file direct installation without Google Play did not work.
Thank you
Mike
Works fine on my phone. What model are you using? Have you rooted or flashed different region firmware?
Hi kunalmalviya ,
thank you for trying to help.
In the meantime I have found out that Google does not support the Android Auto app for all countries and my (Slovakia) is not listed unfortunately. So I do not know if there is an issue with the cellphone or the country.
I downloaded another apk files and manage to install them but none of them worked, i.e. I could not connect the phone with the car. I tried even the debug mode - I found on Youtube a video from Germany from someone who said that Huawei works only in debug mode.
Btw. I have a not rooted phone with original region FW, NXT-LO9, build NXT-L09C432B180, Android 6.0, EMUI 4.0.
Thank you

I'm in the US and I am also seeing this phone is incompatible with Android Auto? I'm on L29C432B320
Do I need to flash to a different firmware?

Hi, I have a problem with the phone, I installed Android 6.0 Emui 4.0.1 version H60-L12C00B860 but I need to do downgrade to Android 5.1. for rooting phone by Kingroot. I found only a file name H60-L02-L12_EMUI4.0_2_EMUI3.1.zip (283 MB) but I do not have Emui 4.0.2 ,I have 4.0.1. Will this file work correctly? And if not, what's easier to find: upgrading Emui to 4.0.2 or older downgrader for Emui 4.0.1. Please help. Sorry for my bad english.
//I found the right file, but there was a bigger problem: I do not have "local update" in the Emui update options - i can only update online. How can I restore/add this option?
No one wanted help from me? Ok, I did it differently, now I have android 5 + phone with root. There is one other problem, I can not change the default location of the phone: there is China, I want western Europe, because I can not use google play. I found a topic for honor 6+ https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-vendor-country-eu-t3498920 and that's probably the way it can be done. The question is where to get the eu.zip file for honor 6? Maybe someone has it and would explain to me the procedure step by step (if it is different)?
Hi Yellow_
QQ: how did you manage to downgrade to 5?
Explanation:
I've a H60-L12 with Android 6.0 and EMUI 4.0.1 and although everything [else] seems to work just fine, I can't seem to get Google Contacts to sync. The option slider in Contacts Settings is grayed out and unresponsive. Unfortunately, without my contacts this phone is all but useless. Hence, I've tried to go back to a previous version, but a simple restore [in TWRP] of my old backup fails after the upgrade. None of the instructions for rolling back were of any help, either.
I'd really appreciate if you could pass along your steps on how you downgraded your Honor 6 to Android 5. Thanks!
Hi. I recently unlocked and debranded my Honor 6x BLN-21 (European) to BLN-22 (Indian) in order to upgrade to emui 8. I'll just get to the point: I tried flashing OpenKirin's OmniRom and lineage os. Everything worked, and I mean EVERYTHING, except mobile data. I can turn it on and off but it's like it's only working on the UI side: it shows LTE under it but when I try to open the playstore or a chrome tab it's just not there.
Other details are:
- the sim is recognized, i can send messages and call.
- i can connect to wifi
- i tried manually searching for networks since it showed IWIND instead of FASTWEB, but i couldn't find it. I could only find IWIND, Vodafone, 3 and a few others... Even though in the top navbar it correctly says FASTWEB, which is my courier... So there's that.
- I'm from Italy
- I tried lineage os 17.1 (the one from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-10-lineageos-17-1-honor-6x-t4064803 ) and everything worked, but since i want to install nethunter , it was incompatible so i had issues with ADB. (Note that i did NOT install nethuner on Openkirin's version of the os in order to test it)
Please does anybody know how to fix this? Is there a patch or something I missed?
Thanks.
Nobody?
Pro tip: don't buy huawei phones if you intend to really own them and mod them.

Yes, it's true, especially if you are an European.
Our model (bln-l21) does not have the update to emui 8.0 unlike chinese or india.
If you want to install a custom rom on it, you need to have emui 8.0.
To do it, you must debrand it to india or chinese.
If you do it, you can no longer receive certain frequencies 3g / 4g (not the same bands in theses countries).
Never again huawei for me...
Just got my Oneplus 9 CN version. It seems the android auto won't work. I enabled all the permissions and auto launch. When I plug in the USB, it says "no installed apps work with this USB accessory".
Any clue how to fix it? Or I have to install the Global version firmware?
Many thanks
Never mind. Got the oxygen os flashed. Everything works flawless.
I am looking for info on my s28 pro+ (Chinese) phone.
It alledgedly has Android 11 installed but looking deeper with version check app it shows as only Android 4.4.2
I believe it to be the 4.4.2 as various apps etc do not install and it is a nightmare.
I would like info on any way of updating it properly.
Has anyone got this model and can help further with finding manufacturer so that I can delve deeper please?
it is correct it is not android 11 if not 4.4.2
maybe it's an outdated cell phone since it's chinese
try to go to settings/about/system update
if when you press update system it comes out that it is in the last update
It was probably scammed, so if you can, return it and say it's not Android 11.
it's not android 11 it's a modified rom to say it's android 11 but it's not
even this is not the correct cell phone model to confirm everything install cpu-z in play store
Thanks for your advice so far.
Bootloader unknown (see attached).
Reply from Seller was-
"please don't use irregular apps to detect devices. This kind of apps are mainly aimed at big-brand mobile phones, with pre-preset parameters of brand mobile phones. We are OEM versions of Chinese factories, and they don't have pre-preset parameters, so they are not sure"
I have searched for a firmware for this supposed cell phone model and I can't find it.
may i ask where or from which site this mobile was purchased and can it be returned?
Hey guys,
I'm using my Huawei P40 Pro for a while, now. Everything worked fine, I basically never needed GMS / Google or I could find good workarounds. Now, I've bought a Suunto 7 Smartwatch; their customer support told me it should be fine and working. But the "official" Wear OS app tells me my phone is not supported and I need to get a Chinese version. After installing said Chinese version, I can connect my phone to the watch, but right after connecting (when retrieving data from the phone), Wear OS (Chinese) tells me to install the "official" version from Google Play Store when being outside of China (which I obviously am; in Austria).
So, I've also tried to do a rollback / downgrade of EMUI (currently installed EMUI 12), but the "official" downgrade via HiSuite does not work, the option does not exist. I was hoping to use the Googlefier method, down on EMUI 10.
I've tried Gspace and microG, but nothing works.
Can you help me out?
I basically just need Wear OS working with my watch.
Thank you very much!
Model: ELS-NX9
