google play not updating while roaming - Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers

Hi guys I'm currently traveling outside the US and for some reason my google play stop working, can't update or install any app, gplay says downloading but nothing happens. I have a pretty decent roaming internet connection and I'm able to search apps and access all my other google apps but is just gplay stuck with the downloading message.
I tried restarting the phone and switching to wifi but still issue persist anyone experienced the same behavior or with any ideas of why is this happening?

Its normal, because its problem of all phones running android 7.0 i dunno if they fix it with google monthly security patch but as i said its known problem.

Is it? Didn't know that but I'd say it is a weird bug to find at this stage

Which country are you currently traveling in? As we know, Google Play Store is not available in several countries.

Google App broke it on the last update. You can check by uninstalling the Google App on the watch. It will uninstall the updates. Test to see if "OK Google" works.
I have same issue: ok google hotword is not working...tried changing language (i'm italian )resetting watch and also phone...downgrading google app, setting all authorization on...nothing worked...can someone help?
Smells like a temporary fix for the slowdown caused by ok Google, deactivate it ??
Had the same problem. Deleting cache and data of Google app on the watch worked for me. OK google finally works, but I cannot send WhatsApp messages via ok Google. After a reset it's possible but only for a few hours. Strange.
I had an update for Google few minutes ago. Try to install it and check it out later.

Does anyone have problem with their phones after play service update?

Guys,
My phone started to behave abnormally after updating to may 10th google play services. I constantly lose wifi and my phone gets frozen. I gotta retart it in every hour.
Also whenever i send a location it says "google services are updating" i uninstalled services and it updated itself then problems started again.
When the phone get frozen the heat increases like crazy and the battery depletes itself enermously if i dont restart it.
When i lose wifi i cannot see any other wifi networks in the settings. I lose them all and it appears as if there are no wifi networks.
I also wonder if this could be a battery issue? I will reset to factory settings tonight if noone has an answer to this.
Thanks. I am on aura 2.2 rom the latest version
I am also having an issue with google play services. I am using sport tracking apps and they all show google play services updating.
Do you also get random crashes and freezes? I checked many forums, it is very common among huawei users right now. It has affected many phones and you can find many complaints about it. But google provided no support right now.
I also read that factory resetting is not solving the issue. So i am not gonna waste time on that and wait for a new update.
But i can tell for the first time i regret using a huawei phone. Deeply loving it made me cover its faulty updates but i got tired of restarting the phone hourly
I had the exact same issues you described. Google Street View, Uber, and other apps would display 'google services are updating' and not work at all.
Fixed it by leaving the Google Play Services beta testing channel. I'm now running version 12.6.73 (040400) and all's back to normal.
On the other hand my P20 is still on the beta channel 12.6.73 (040408) and no issues.
There's an ongoing thread about an issue which seems what you're talking and is specific to Huawei phones. My problem related to this, is that I can't logon on Chrome... More details in the link below

Hi, on my Mate 9 in my Car with Android Auto, the Google Assistent dont run, and says everytime when i activate it: "There is no stable Internet Connection"
I hope google or Huawai will it correct it
Hello,
Same problems with my Mate 9 MHA-L09
It was said that this bug is reported by many people in Google issue tracker. Lots of Google Maps apps such as Uber and Taxify don't work well. It looks like wide range of Huawei devices is severely impacted by latest Play Services update to version 12.6.73. A good news is Google is working on it.
Two temporary solution for an end-user to try:
1. Clear cache & data of Google Play services
2. Go to Setting - App - Google Play Services, disable it to go back factory version.
Restart the phone and go to Google Play Store to do the update on Google Play Services.
Wonder if this is the same "bug" I've been having trouble with. Sometimes, & I can't nail down how it happens, if I wake up the phone, and it could have been screen off for 5 minutes, all night, 20-30 minutes...no pattern, that after waking it up, tap on anything and it might be 10-20 seconds before it does anything. EVERY app is like that. I thought it might have been with Nova launcher, but that doesn't seem to be it, rebooting the phone appears to "fix it". Just dumped cache on play, stopped, uninstalled, rebooted (play store isn't showing any updates, still at 11.xx). I'll just watch it and see how it act.
By me its help Temporary, Everythings run until the next restart of my phone and my smartwatch must reset to
So far, almost 24 hours later, dumping the storage, stopping, "uninstalling" the play services, and going back to the stock one (11.xx) seems to have cured my "lag". Everything is snappy again.
Can someone confirm that with this issue ongoing you can open events in the Calendar app? If possible from an Exchange account...
Currently I open Calendar, select an event, it opens and immediately closes. So Calendar now is also unusable for me What's going on?
Thanks!

Exact same problem. When did it start?
I am solving the issue by hard resetting, uninstalling play services and when i update sometime later my phone starts losing wifi and battery is getting drained incredibly fast. Something gotta be related wtih the play services but no solution yet

What version?

Yes it has been fixed (sic!) with version 12.6.85 from version 12.6.73. The big errors have been fixed on software such as Uber and Map programmes. Still awaiting to see if the hardware problems are sorted, (my phone would be hot to the touch to the extent that glue on the phone cover would soften and become pliable).
To summarise.... So far so good.
I can confirm, I have upgraded to 12.6.85 earlier today and so far so good.
Clear now
So far, almost a week into the update, no issues on my end with the phone lagging.

Problems with Android P beta and release

I've been using the beta for quite a while now, and I've been mostly happy.
However, I recently had to switch SIM and I now find that the Google Home app won't update its feed, complaining about a problem signing into my account. All other Google apps I have seem to work fine but nevertheless I tried signing out, deleting the Google account and adding it again...to no avail.
Also, I'm in a location with no access to any Google servers, so I use a VPN. This didn't used to present any problems, but the beta updates no longer seem to download, and nor does the release of P.
Anyone any ideas how to fix this?

Factory reset should solve the issue.
Does the problem imply some kind of bug in android?
Not really, just seems to happen when you switch sims to a different carrier without wiping

I've not had it happen before (prior to P) - I do it very often (since I develop s/w for phones) - and it is far from expected from an end-user point of view. Actually, doing a factory reset is surely the ultimate indicator of some fault somewhere.

Location history not available !

Hello!
Today I realised that Location History (and, hence, Location Sharing) is not available to me... Googling the issue I see that this issue has been bothering many users of Chinese phones, but with no clear solution.
Of course location history was working fine since the day I got the phone, and I didn't change anything like, say, flashing a new ROM. I'm on OB25, btw.
Anyone else facing the same issue?
Same for me. Was working fine for one years and a recent research showed that it stopped working...
Had to remove my Google account, now it's working again. However, judging from others posting in various sites, I don't know for how long...

I have the same issue on Vivo Iqoo Pro. the location history was working initially, and stopped working after the google play service automatically upgraded. What i am doing is uninstall the google play service and reinstall the original play service from the Vivo app market almost every the other day when google play service upgraded to the newest version.
I don't know how to stop the google play service automatic updating... maybe i have to root the cell phone and then there is a way to stop the play service updating...
That's a valid question...
As for me, in the end I had enough and just cleanly flashed my ROM. For some reason, the problem did not appear again!

Oxygen Os 11.0.9.9 problems

Anyone else having issues with the latest update? I'm constantly getting error messages that NFC isn't supported anyone, my podcast app and media player doesn't work when I connect my Bluetooth headphones. It seems like this latest update wasn't well tested.

I get that message too but contactless payments work.
I also get that message (Google Pay) in my non-rooted OP8. I think they've broken something. I haven't tried using it.

Has anyone found a cure for this? I can't use my card or add new ones.
The latest update seems to have cured everything I was worried about.
