Since I got the 6.0.1 update on my Verizon note 5, I have not been able to update any amazon apps or download any. I use amazon instant video a ton. And I can't get the app on my note 5. I tried doing a factory reset(what started the issue I think) and also used samsung smart switch on my computer to go back to a precious software. I can reinstall marshmallow, but when I update again I just notice a huge lag on my phone. So I reset it and now it won't work. Every time I try to install through the browser it fails. And so I'm unsure what to do next and would like some suggestions, please. Thanks in advance!
I installed Aptoide and updated the amazon apps through there successfully.
Log out of amazon underground app and really log in. Helped me. Also if amazon video won't pull up videos...disable amazon underground app in app management. Then start prime video. Then enable underground app

I haven't tried aptoid, I'll have to try that, thank you! And I've logged out of the Amazon app several times, but it doesn't fix anything.
I couldn't get any of the Amazon apps to update through aptoid. However I did find an older version of Amazon video ask to install on the phone thanks for the help!
I couldn't get the Amazon App Store to work. I uninstalled, cleared cashe, re-installed all the apps and still a no go. I then checked using the Debloater program (mentioned in Verizon Note 5 forums) and realized I had disabled Amazon Underground. After re-enabling it in the Debloater, everything worked as normal.
Oh that makes sense. I've made sure I have the Amazon underground app active. It just won't update. I'll just have to wait for the next software update and see if that fixes it. Hopefully it does.
I was having the same issue. I re-enabled Amazon Audible app and now all the Amazon apps update correctly.

I am having the same issue and am unable to install any amazon apps. I am also unable to install the Amazon shopping app from the play store and receive a 505 error. I am currently working with Amazon tech support and will post my answer here if they are able to supply an answer.
You have to have every amazon related app enabled otherwise it won't let you update. So like others, I had to re enable audible, amazon music, amazon store(underground) , and Amazon Kindle. I didn't realize that audible was part of the suite so thank you bacchus258 for pointing that out. What a pain in the ass to have to disable and enable everytime you update an amazon app. My Alexa wouldnt even update with Audible disabled.
Thanks! I didn't realize they all had to be enabled either. That worked perfectly though! Thanks so much! I hadn't been able to do that and it was killing me!
I can't believe I didn't see this post, I was having the same problem. Was driving me nuts because I have prime and use their apps. Searched high and low with nothing. Even factory reset my phone. But I can confirm, I enabled auduble and everything worked.

I had Audible enabled, but had to sign into it for everything to update and work correctly....
Thank God I found this forum. I was about to lose my mind with this stupid phone update and not being able to use the Amazon apps. Logging out of my Appstore account, then logging back in, then opening the Audible app--that fixed all of it. It's completely bizarre that this was necessary (I have never even used Audible), but whatever, it worked! Thank you to those who posted here!
I don't use Audible
I have no idea why I would have to turn on the Audible App. I don't use it, it came pre-installed on my phone, I had un-updated it, and disabled it. However, thanks to everyone's feedback re-enabling and updating Audible allowed the Amazon apps to be installed.

mmmhhh.. I've read that it's exclusively work on pixel's, i think some dev have to add some libs to works on our actual n5x... are you sure you tried ?
I tried it, but the app told me I need the Google VR Services in a newer version. The version on APKMirror was not enough.
But looks very promising

The official reason the Nexus 5X doesn't support Daydream is because of it's thermal limits. If it works unofficially just make sure it won't overheat in the headset.
just tried it. installed all the apk from apkmirror.com but got a message that my device is not compatible.
Does someone have any idea how to use the Daydream controller in Youtube Cardboard mode?
I'll do my best to help where I can. I have a daydream on order, should arrive in a few days. So far I have downloaded the app from apkmirror. Once I opened the app, it said I needed newest Google VR Services. So I also downloaded the latest version from apk-mirror. That allowed me to go ahead with the setup of the daydream app. When I go to press the button to go into VR mode, it FCs daydream. Too early totell what this may mean, I need to get my daydream VR headset and get it paired up and I can play some more. I'm noticing that even the Daydream compatible games on the play store I cannot install to my phone because the play store reports them as incompatible with the 5x.
I'm using Pixelrom v3.21, which is Nougat 7.1.1 DP1 based.
Got my headset yesterday after seeing the video but it doesn't really proof anything. After installing the apk, the app crashes when trying to enter the VR mode. It's not recognizing the headset via NFC and the controller doesn't work.
But I was able to install 3rd party VR apps and use them with the headset. After using it for an hour it got pretty hot, so you might want to give it a break after a while.
So in the end you have a comfortable cardboard without the controller and daydream app.
Tried it with stock 7.0.0 and developer beta 7.1.1.

I remember uninstalling, then reinstalling daydream and I didn't get the update message again.

I have tried reinstalling now, still no change in behavior.
So I finally got my Daydream viewer and remote from Google. The controller pairs with no issues. The headset has a built in NFC chip, so when you put your phone I to the headset, it must auto launch some program. However, when I put In The 5x, it just displays a message saying this phone is incompatible with the 5x. So I can't even use the nice headset with Google cardboard, unless I disable the NFC.
The daydream app instantly crashes when I hit the viewer icon so that doesn't work either. So ATM I cant do anything at all with the daydream viewer. I'm sure in time someone can reengineered the daydream app to work with other phones, or trick the app into thinking it is a Pixel, but ATM it's useless.
Oh well.
Im also getting the needs updates google vr services, last installed the versions uploaded to apkmirror november 21st (yesterday) although version number indicates it's November 19th build.
Tried uninstalling, deleting cache, restarting to no avail.... any help?!
have you tried modifiny your build.Prop to make it look like a pixel
and download some game (wonderland) from the playstore ?
does the controller also work ?
if u guys are very eager in using daydream vr in nexus 5x... maybe u can try doing what they did in
nexus 6p to get daydream working. goodluck
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/6p-daydream-tweaks-tips-t3510238
Im so disappointed that Daydream doesnt work with my 5x, that and getting rid of the ugly google search bar were the 2 things that I was looking forward to the most from 7.1 and neither happened...
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.

Sure enough, storage wasn't allowed. Odd thing is I checked that and allowed all manually, or thought I did.

Make sure that Play Store has Storage permissions. That should fix your problem.
Edit: Oops, late reply
Abject lesson in checking things twice. I swear I did add permissions but such is life. Doh!

Came across 2 apps today that I get "your device isn't compatible with this version" messages. These are 2 apps I use on my axon 7 with Android 7.0 so I know they work with nougat. I've tried deleting the cache and data for the play store and Google services but still the same. Anyone have this issue or any ideas on how to stop it? Also can anyone else check the "apple music" app and see if they can install it?

Some apps just won't be compatible until the developer(s) make the app compatible specifically for the Mate 9. However, I was able to download the Apple Music app.

Well that's interesting. I'm running the us version of the phone fully stock so what would be preventing me from installing it? My play store version is 7.5.08.M-all Phone software MHA-L29567B138
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
Are these 2 apps on Play Store the same versions of those you used on your axon 7 with Android 7.0?
As I know, some apps will not work with Android 7.0 until their developers have distributed the latest versions and have made them compatible with nougat.
Yes, in fact I just uninstalled them on my axon 7 and reinstalled them to verify them

Decided to reset the phone this morning and see if that fixed it. Before any updates took I was able to install the 2 apps showing as incompatible, however after about 10 minutes they went back to "your device isn't compatible with this version". I uninstalled the updates to the Google Play Store as well as Google Play Services and they still said "your device isn't compatible with this version" even though I checked the Play store build number and it was the same before the update and after uninstalling the update. Some update somewhere is causing a compatibility issue and I'm not sure what it is. I may have to reset the device again and not update any of the built in apps like Gmail, Youtube, etc. and hopefully catch whats causing it.
Edit: Reset again and everything was fine. Google play store was on version 7.4.12.L.all [0] [pr] 144479971 and remained there. Installed one of the apps I was having trouble with then updated system apps one at a time. After each system app I checked the other incompatible app and everything was good. Then after updating google maps the app went back to "your device isn't compatible with this version" so I uninstalled the maps update and cleared the cache and data and the app remained "your device isn't compatible with this version" . The play store stayed on version 7.4.12.L.all [0] [pr] 144479971 and play services never updated from what I could tell. This and some of the software bugs are becoming a bit aggravating. Really hoping the update comes soon and fixes some of the issues.
It's a DPI issue...You have to set display view to large, then install whatever apps you want, then set back to small or medium. That should fix for you.

Well I was hoping that would fix it but it didn't. I set the display view to large, rebooted. That didn't work so I cleared the play store and play services cache and that didn't do it either. Lastly I cleared the play store and play services data and rebooted and that didn't work either.
I'm not sure what's causing it since both the play store and play services are the exact same versions on my mate 9 and axon 7.
Edit: OK this is just stupid. I put the view back to small and font back to normal (where I've had it this whole time except to try the above fix) and now the app allowed me to install it. I don't know what fixes it but at least it's working lol.

Having this same issue with Amazon Store App. Works fine on my PixelXL and Nexus 6P...but for some strange reason, I cannot install it on my Mate 9. Go figure. It's really the ONLY app I'm having this issue with. All my other play store apps installed fine, and my settings and logins work fine. But for the life of me - I cannot install the Amazon Store app, even thought I have successfully installed the Amazon Kindle app. too strange....

Have you tried changing the display size? That definitely has something to do with it and even though for me it didnt work at first it definitely solved the issue. Change it to large, reboot and try, if no go wipe the play store data and play services data and reboot and try again. Keep changing the display size after that and eventually it will work. For me I had given up and set my device back to small which is where it originally was and out of nowhere it worked.
Now if they could just resolve Hulu without having to contact customer service things would be great.
I'm in the US and bought the 8142 because of the working fingerprint sensor and dual SIM capability.
I can't get Prime Video to work, I try the app and it throws me to the Play Store - which gives me the message of that app isn't available in your country. Also the app can't be uninstalled. I know Prime Video app in the US always has to be installed from Amazon's app store.
Has anyone come up with a work around and or know how to solve this issue?
Thanks
I got mine to work Friday and I'm not entirely sure what the magic bullet was. I think I ended up just downloading the APK directly and installing it from the phone. It did not work right away and I left it alone and some time later I was notifieded the app had updated and now it just works. Before that, I had the same issue where the "app" initially sent me to the Play Store to update and it would then say it's not available in my country. It works and shows up correctly in the Play Store now. I will update this post with screenshots with the version # shortly. Before I side-loaded the APK, the stock app had been disabled since shortly after I received the phone.

Had the same issue, all you have to do is turn on setting to install from unknown sources, open Chrome on phone, search on Amazon Underground APK and install the APK, then install Amazon Video from within Amazon Underground. (then remember to turn off from unknown sources.
Thanks for the input. Today I went to try the app again and darned if it didn't open without issue and my usual Prime content is there, I'm now on the ...69501 build of Prime Video. Weird.

This is how I did it as well and I haven't had any problems with the app.
