I got the nougat update last week, but since then my step counter disappeared from the notification area.
It's still running in the background, steps are counted. I can click on the health icon in the drawer and it pops up, but I liked it better in the pull down notification menu... Tried to find a setting on how to switch that back on, but to no avail... Has anybody found the switch yet? (B563)

Hi,
I use Huawei health app frequently.
You have to change the options in two places
Please check the screenshots.
Those are the two options that will give the steps in notification area.
Another thing to note is the Huawei health app version.
Only this version that you see in screenshot gives the steps in notification area. I saw another health app version and it doesn't give that option. Not sure why.
Hope this resolves your problem.
You're so right! It's the version of the health app.... I still have the 1.1.1.311x, never thought anything of it, since it worked nicely until Nougat.
But now the problem, how to get your V2.0.2 version? Health doesn't show for me in the Playstore... And a forum search here in xda only came up with dead links.
Do you remember where you got it - or better - have a link for the apk?
Thanks man!!

Yes I have the app.
Don't worry about the below steps. Please find the apk file in attachment.
Go to aptoide.com
Install the aptoide app
Then add my store
Samavb.store.aptoide.com
In my store under latest apps you will find this version of Huawei health.
Link to this app is https://samavb.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.huawei.health/20002309/24448697/HuaweiHealth
But you need the aptoide app installed first to download this app.
Even though it might sound complicated, this is the very easy.
Aptoide is an excellent app store.
Any one can create a store there. You can too once you know more.
You can not only install any app but you can also upload any app to your personal store after you create it.
Good luck. Hope you find this information useful.:good::good::good:
Thanks man! I downloaded the version now and it's working again, awesome! What I was wondering though, that you have newer versions for 25 of apps I have also, even though I only see 3 apps, which I deliberately didn't update. The rest is all updated via Playstore... How come? Did you modify those in any way?
Also my Huawei Health 2.x app is now 62MB instead of 14MB....or even 96 MB in memory... Also my settings page looks a bit different than yours, even though it's same version now... Weird...
Hmmm!

Glad to know you are happy.
Unfortunately, I am not a developer and I do not know how to modify these apps in anyway. I am an IT guy (Windows Administration, Networking, Telecom & Android troubleshooting) who loves solving problems and helping people in making their experience with the phones, tablets and computers better.
Aptoide.com is huge. I follow the two official stores which seem to be the main source for all the new versions most of the time. If I find newer versions for my apps I update them provided they are from a trusted source - you get the green tick mark when you update from trusted source otherwise Huawei will warn you that it is not from trusted source and asks you to understand the risks while installing.
So after I update them I upload them using aptoide backup app. That is how I try to keep my store up to date with newer versions.
Beauty of aptoide is everyone can create their own personal store and share it with everyone. You don't have to save the apks any more on sdcard. Everything is there on aptoide in your store. When you install a new ROM you can install the apps from aptoide from your personal store. You can also tweet about it. These tweets are automatic. You can have a look and see if it interests you. My sincere advice, please do not update the core system apps using aptoide. It might create conflict or mess up. Update only those apps which can be uninstalled if you don't like it after using. I use Google play store, Aptoide and XDA for installing apps. If I find the app I am looking for in all the three places, then I pick the most stable and latest from the 3 stores.
I didn't notice the size difference in this app until you told me. Good observation. I do not know why there is such a huge difference. Even the apk I shared in my previous post is 16mb.
I tried to find the apk from the stock firmware B577 but I couldn't find it. The update_data zip file had selective apks which didn't have the Huawei health which is strange. When I was experimenting last week with rooting, I was flashing NXT-AL10 firmwares to see if it is better than NXT-L29. In the end I settled on KangVIP B577 on top of L29C432B560. It was during that time that I saved this Huawei Health app using aptoide. That is why I was able to share it with you quickly.
Thank you for reading this long post. Hope you found this information useful. :good::good::good::good:
Yeah, I was just wondering, but I also thought of different versions, like beta or so... Just weird sometimes with those 3rd party stores, developers and apps... But I also saw the green tick mark and nothing changed in the permissions and its working like it supposed to do now... So for now I'm happy and thanks again for your effort and help!

Alright. I'm trying to download Tapatalk from the Play Store. Every time I've tried to download it, it is giving me an error. First, it gave me an error, something like "Could not download Tapatalk Forum App" as you have not purchased it yet. Then I cleared the Play Store cache, data, uninstalled updates, and cleared everything again, and now it's giving me the error: "Download of Tapatalk Forum App declined".
Now, I have a good clue as to why it's doing this. I previously downloaded an older version of it from apktop and installed it on my phone and my nook. I'm not proud of it, and this is why I'm buying it now, I'm sick of the guilty conscious every time I use the app. But now that I do want to buy it, I can't! Any ideas anyone?
I'm not sure why you're having issues with the play store. If it eases your conscience though, Tapatalk is free through getjar. Here's the link:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/237628...4ymld6hvifbqfomy&c=5v55005as52yb2m813&lang=en
I know it doesn't fund the developer directly, but I imagine they receive some compensation from getjar. Hope this helps.

Is this the latest version? As in the same as on the play store?
had a similar problem recently and the only solution i found - posts on the android newsgroups confirm that - is going back to the old 2.3.x market apk. to do so either "uninstall updates" in manage apps or if your /system/app/Vending.apk is 3.x then you'll have to replace that one with the 2.3.x one.
annoying, yes, but at least that works

To the best of my knowledge, all apps through getjar receive the same updates as the Play store. It should continue to be updated after installing.

Just got a Z3 a couple of days ago and installed the generic UK firmware and all is good!
I have just come across an issue though where some apps dont seem to show as having an update available in the play store or whats new.
Basically, i wanted to move some photos from one folder to another and noticed i couldnt do it. A quick google suggests that the latest version of Album allows it, so i went into album on play store and it was there, the update button was available.
However this was not under the 'updates' section. Im now wondering if a number of my other apps have updates available without me knowing and i dont fancy going into each and every one to find out.
Am i missing something?

Could be because of regional differences that you get an update a bit later than others. The fastest way of getting the latest updates is to check here... There's always someone that got the update before you that's willing to share it with us

Why is nobody reading the poor guy's question properly? The update WAS available, but only when he looked in the play store, not in the updates section.
If the app was restored by a backup program or installed or updated from a third party source, play store won't always put the app in the 'my apps' section, therefore, not showing it as updatable. Try reinstalling the app from the play store.

Thanks for clarifying this. I didn't know that that's what he meant.
Ok... It might be repetitive, I come from the LG / Sammy world, so I am new to the Huawei universe...
I've been reading through a lot of threads, like a lot hahaha, I just want to get one last confirmation before I order it (still not sure if I'm gonna get the L29 or L00, although the 6gb/128 is really interesting to me) .
I know people like @duraaraa are working hard to get us something rolling! And thanks for that! I know some other devs (from other phones) are wanting to jump into this pool, so this could become and interesting devs device in the very close future.
But I have some questions, or more like confirmations to ask:
Huawei now really "unofficially" released the GMS for the Chinese / Hong-Kong version of the m9 (4gb/32, 4gb/64, 6gb/128 and 6gb/256). For the users on the AL00, can you please confirm the following :
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
- if you do have issues, please tell me
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
- you have a 100% English rom or other mulingual possibility (meaning no trace of Chinese writing or other, except maybe some Chinese apps)
Yes. No Chinese writing except in Chinese apps.
- Google playstore, all apps are installable (swiftkey, nova launcher, etc..) and are working 100%
I don't have nova launcher, but swiftkey works. Everything is installable.
- push services (Gmail, exchange, etc..) are working 100%
Yes.
- auto sync services (Dropbox, Google photos, etc...) are syncing with no issues
Yes.
- that you are on the latest firmware and you think now that updates will bring no issues in the future
Yes, but without unlocking the bootloader you will only be able to install updates that Huawei wants you to install. Ergo, no betas.
- do you really see a big difference with the extra 2gb of Ram or is it placebo
How would I know? I only have 6GB version. It probably only matters if you use all the RAM.
- if you do have issues, please tell me
Screen touch responsiveness is not as good as other phones. Huawei has been adjusting it a lot from build to build. Hopefully they get it right soon.
- last but not least :which of the 2 you think will have more development? AL 29 or AL 00
With an unlocked bootloader, development will be the same for both. With locked bootloader, you currently have more options with AL00, because that's what I have so that's what I'm working with, and because Huawei has several versions of firmware which can be flashed to AL00, but only one which can be flashed to L29 at the moment. I think Huawei focuses mainly on China, so support of the Chinese phone will be better.
Well, thanks for that quick reply!
Can confirm all Duraaraa said. I got mine, had B109 with working g Google services and I uninstalled all the Google stuff, did OTA to B125. Then it offered B135 OTA so did that. After reboot I stalled GMS and Play store and all good. Had to install Google contacts from APK mirror, and had to go to permission manager and allow Google app as trusted and auto start to get OK Google functionality working but all good now.
Only issue I am having is a few apps won't install. For instance, the CBS watch TV app ... click on install from store and it starts download and the before it finishes store just closes. A couple games do this as well. Working on figuring it out.

@SWBgHz hi, I think to solve your issue with CBS watch TV app go to the play store app permission and make sure Storage have that permission on.
I got mine last Friday nice phone, software is really bad.
After i got everything working on mine. now play store will not work ...keep downloading. i did try everything and still not working.
I have few apps needs update , it is just downloading
I can not get notification from any app
it seems that i will have to factory reset.
I think you guys should download HI suit for back up and restore .
waiting for a better Rom.
Edit: Play store start behave normal again and its working fine.
still can not see notification from my major apps like gmail...etc
I had already tried adding additional permissions as well as setting Play store as trusted app but no joy. Just a few apps do same as CBS on, store closes during download phase.

Make sure that Play Store has Storage permissions. That should fix your problem.

Hey guys, please help.
I am using the 6 GB premium Chinese version, but I live in Canada using all the google play services, ect. Google maps seems to work fine, but when I request a ride using my Uber app, it fails and gives me an error when it needs to obtain GPS information from the phone. The app works fine on other devices. I have already rebooted, updated, and given permissions to the app with no effect.
Just for the time-being I use my Mate 9 as a wifi hotspot and then use the app on another device like my Ipad, so its not the end of the world. That's how I got to work today haha. But it would be nice to use it on my phone, its one of my favorite apps. If anyone knows of anything I could try to troubleshoot please let me know!
Anybody?

I got the same problem with P9 Chinese version. With another car-calling service app like Grab it's work well. But only Uber can't. I think problem from the firmware
Are you sure that your Uber app is the latest version?
I am also having the same problem. Whenever I press to request Uber, it shows an error. Tried in many ways, updated Uber, uninstalled the app, etc but I am still getting the errors. Can anyone help pls?
make sure dont use the HiApp version but gplay to install the app, recently I had issues with an app just not working anymore after I installed from gplay and then updated from HiApp. after this I disable all notifications for updates and auto updates from HiApp so everything now comes from gplay, my uber app works fine tho but it is a little slow on getting gps signal sometimes not sure why, my way around this is start gmaps first and then start uber app. being thinking about rebranding to internatinal version (maybe you could do the same) but still researching for it.
just tried uber for the first time after update to B175 in my chinese mate 9 and I got an error about processing my request. not sure why is doing this now.
I found a way to do it, apparently the problem is just with requesting the drive once you do that you can track and pay from the app itself.
I used https://m.uber.com/ to get my driver and then used the app for everything else. It is an odd but faste solution until we find out why the uber app is not working on MHA-AL00 devices.

Google Assistant on my Nokia 6.1 suddenly disabled, I use it on a daily basis to make phone calls and all. It was working fine till the evening but later at night I just found it broken while trying to unlock my device with voice commands. And I did not make any changes to settings or installed any apps and the app is also up to date, so I am totally clueless about what just happened to it. And it is a very handy feature for my day to day use so kind of disappointed. I have searched through web and YouTube yet couldn't find any working solution for me. I have attached two screenshots that might help you understand the problem. Also the setup wizard is on loop asking to setup voice module again and again uninstalling updates/clearing data/cache didn't help either. So I am just out of options here. Any information on this issue would be helpful.

I'm a beta tester of the Google app, but if you have that issue on the stable version, then it is weird. I don't use Assistant so much, so I don't know when it stopped working.
If you need it, you can try to delete data for the Google app, and see if it works.
I will wait for the next version...
