Hello,
I have bought huawei Mate 8 (4/64) chineese version on ibuygou.com for review in my country . I wish they had installed google play services etc but they didnt.
I have tried with Google installer - it didn't help (method the same as in xiaomi devices). Next I have tried to install google play services.apk and google play.apk from apkmirror, but after I have written my email and password, there was written that there is no connect or sth like this - try again later. I checked account menagment in settings if I could login in google account, but there was no such option.
So my question is: Has anyone method to install google play, google services on this smartphone? I hope that anyone can help me, I will be so grateful !
Open HiStore (The Huawei app store) and search google, the first little banner that pops up click it, there should now be a list of the google apps. Install them. Change some permissions and you should be good.
Also install the app in the internal storage in case you have a micro sd installed.
ok so the solution here works great but when downloading larger apps such as zombies run or NFS No limits the playstore would force close and download fails without warning.
has anyone experienced this? could it be to do with the download manager?

Mine had the same problem before i changed the rom to the international one. And i know some people having the same problem.. Still no solution...
no problem here with large apps on the international rom i guess its worth trying to flash the L29 rom...

Why do people say there is no solution?!
I've seen some guy encounter this issue and then find a solution for it, and now it works perfectly for him.
Something to do with system app and permissions i think was all.

Also, you need to give Play Store internal storage permission to download those large games, until I did that I had same issue as you with large game installs appearing to cause the Play Store to crash.

Appreciate this. I've tried trusting the entire google play store app which should allow everything but that didn't help. cleared data and stuff + reboot - nothing.
But seeing how someone did manage to solve it, I will give it another go before flashing. Thanks
solved. The UI is sort of confusing because I needed to bring up another (native?) permissions manager in order to enable storage permissions. could be a security feature.. no idea.
either search for "permissions" inside settings, or reach it by going to Apps > Advanced.
I'm planning to get the Chinese version (only one for now that has 4gb RAM and higher storage) and my question is does the phone come with English out of the box? Thanks
check with the shop ure getting it from, there are definitely multilanguage china roms

Thank you. I reset the phone and install Google play store fro hiapp store. And everything works. I can add Google account and install all other Google apps.
I had the same problem, fixed by finding this thread
Thanks!!
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.

Abject lesson in checking things twice. I swear I did add permissions but such is life. Doh!

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?
You check permissions? Whitelist section?

I tried that, given the app full permissions and allowed secondary launch, ect. I have rebooted and force closed, opened again, and still get the same error.

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.
Same on my phone and also on my Lenovo Tab4, maybe the Google app is fu*ked, what version do you have? My is 8.15.9.21

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...
Edit: I also asked in G+ community, and I received this comment:
Yes many users having different devices are facing this issue dont worry google has acknowledge this issue and it will be in next update

Yeah I also opted in beta to check if something works but no gain also tried installing another version newer than mine (8.14.15.21) from apkmirror again no success. And if I activate it by long pressing the home button it will give me the welcome screen everytime, seems the app is on a loop!
Hi All,
I have gotten a p40 pro a few days ago (EMUI 11), and need the Barclays app functioning for their code generator. I can't install the app through APKs, I get the shared directory error. I found a thread containing a fix in this forum, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my device (I think it's because I'm on EMUI 11 which is more recent, URL of the fix : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/shared-directory-error-fix.4048319/ )
Also tried Gspace and dualspace, no luck there either. Did anyone manage to get Barclays working on their p40 pro?
Sorry can't really comment on the barclays app specifically but I manage to get the natwest one running via dualspace. What I find tho is It will stop working if I load to many apps into dual space, so I basically use dual space for only a couple of apps. That seems to give me more days usage before it eventually all stops and I have to reinstall dualspace and apps. Also find with dualspace and natwest app will never install straight away need to leave it pending download for couple of days before eventuality installs Where as say hangouts will always install each time straight away.

This is the best video for Installation. Download it and watch it at the same time you are installing.
If it fails then use the broom icon and to clean up then Start again this time you don't need to Install backup so start Video after the backup and try again. Then use
Don't freeze Google Frame. With these 2 videos you should have everything working
here is fix for Notification
You can check that your notification are working or not by installing Push Notification tester

So you use it for Barclays banking? It says it's a virtual machine, I'm wondering if this is secure or if your info is getting collected
Hi,
okay, I have to wait now until I get my Barclay card.
So far I have only installed the app.
When I start the app, it remains
it stops immediately in the first screen.
When I launch the app in vmos, the app runs right through to the login screen.
So I suspect that the app would continue to work.
I can only check this next week when I receive my login data from barclay.
I will report it then.
So long I ask for patience.
Sorry if I should have awakened false hopes.

in the case of lidl plus app,
here i saw today that there was an update of this app in the aurora store.
after this update now lidl plus app works normally on my phone. without vmos.
now i am only missing the satellite app.
This only works with vmos, dual space and gspace.

Hey, I believe Lidl Plus is offered on the AppGallery (pretty sure I saw it, though I don't use it as I don't have a Lidl nearby).
Barclays mail support is frustrating tbh, I mailed them to ask when they're planning to support HMS devices, they asked me to send photos of the error I get when I try to install, I did that and then they ghosted me...
Yes, Lidl app does, but not Lidl Plus app.
Your problem with the Barclay app may be different from mine.
I have a P40 lite 5G and have EMUI 10.
For me, the app starts and stops at the first screen.
with vmos the app goes to the login screen.
as you describe it, the app does not start at all on your phone.
so I suspect you have a completely different reason for the not working.
the way you write, you can't even install the barclay app on your phone.
that was no problem for me.
I installed the barclay app from the aurora store.
please try this out.
if that doesn't work, then your problem is different from mine.
