Google's ARcore not working on my OnePlus 6 - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

I downloaded ARcore from google playstore today along with some sample apps using ARcore but each one just keeps searching for planes. I have never seen a single blue dot or anything resembling the fact that it is actually working. The apps load, they just don't see any surface.
Does anyone experience this?
I'm running latest update (ONEPLUS A6003_22_180614) and I have been unable to find ANY INFO on this issue.
Please, if you have any information or similar experience help me out here cause I'm really lost.
Thanks in advance.

How did you download it from Google store if its not officially supported?
I tried installing it today but all apps using ARcore crash for some reason.

Glad u posted this as I'm not able to start threads yet.
I too can't seem to find compatible software to use this.
I side loaded it a couple days ago. The link is in the article in news feed

As soon as I seen the information about google's Measure app came out, I went and installed ARCore and Measure, and it worked perfectly. So maybe there are a lot of apps that don't work with this phone yet?
As a note: I'm on the latest update (5.1.8) with root. Didn't modify the camera app.

There has to be a compatible gcam built for oneplus 6 to use arcore and stickers. What did you think you were just going to use it with the stock oneplus cam? LMFAO!!

Measure does work with the stock cam

Well then how does it work? I have no idea how to use it or what it requires and I've seen people using it on OP6 be it sideloaded before it was suppoted or from google playstore (It is on playstore, I can download it no problem it is supported since few days ago it's all over the internet)
Do you need a special hardware cam to connect to it for it to work?
What do you mean gcam built specifically for oneplus 6?
I thought you only need the ARcore app and then one of the apps that take advantage of it like "just a line".
The apps load well but it isn't scanning anything.
Thanks for replies.
EDIT: Guys, it now works, I tried to download aforementioned Google Measure and IT WORKS finally and now all of the other apps work as well. Thank you for replies I would have not been able to resolve this issue without your suggestions. Thank you.
SOLVED

I installed ARCore from APK Mirror. Then 2 days ago when I saw the Measure app was out, I went to install it from the Play Store. It showed as Not compatible. Looked again yesterday and it said it was compatible. Installed it. Runs as a seperate app. No change to my stock camera

What else is working well?
Most apps I saw were buggy for other phones.

Jurassic Park is cool, if u like Dino's walking around your house

I can't seem to get measure to work I've downloaded arcore and Google measure but nothing seems to happen when I open the measure app it keeps telling me just to move my hand back and forth across the scene but there's no measurement, what did you guys do to solve?

For Google measure, I just open the app, aim my camera at what I want to measure, then a dot matrix appears on the area. Drag the length or width icon from the bottom to measure.

Qlone works good of you want to make 3d images of things around your house

Best way to get any of the apps to work is to scan a newspaper which is on a table or your bed if it has a pattern design sheet on top. The apps do not recognise plain surfaces properly.

Which camera? Which mod?

my op6 also had the problem of no automatic surface scanning. I tried installing google measure but it didn't helped. Finally, after rebooting the phone i managed to use it. So try to reboot your device if you have the same problem

After andoid p beta 2 arcore works fine.. was able to download from play store and played around for a while.. seems to be good..

[APP]new android market GOOGLE PLAY

the point is to keep everything together like music and books instead of having Google Music seperately and Google E-Books seperately. It's for ease of use. But i have to say the name just doesn't work. I'm sure i'll get used to it.
To OP: I know it updates automatically, but a link may be helpful for some:
http://www.mediafire.com/?72w5189rc2wpa0c
it is 5 times faster than the older version for me it is perfect )
Yes that's true! The speed of Google Play is impressive comparing the old Market's speed! And only that is enough for me to be happy with this update!
The only good thing about switching to Play thing is that I can now see viz and pics in market, as they used another pool of IPs, which has not yet been blocked in my "democratic" country. ^^
i have a question, i recently reinstalled my ROM and i have the old market again
i was wondering hot to get it back? it updates automatically or manual?

[Q] Hello you lovely Huawei people!

I've been looking at Chinese smartphones for a while but haven't yet taken the plunge. However, a colleague of mine asked me for my opinion and I nudged him in the direction of the X2, as it would have been what I would have gone for had I gone for one...
He went for it and I am impressed. But I didn't realise (probably niaively) that it would be so dislodged from Google. Obviously not completely detached, but there is no Play Store, G+, Play Services etc as you will all know. I've been on XDA for many years and I'm somewhat of an HTC fanbuy (see my sig :laugh so I know all about unlocking bootloaders, rooting, flashing custom recoveries, firmware, custom roms etc so I am absolutely fine doing all that. He has brought the phone back to me and asked if I can help him with it; basically give him a more "westernised" Android experience I suppose
So once unlocked, rooted and flashed the (apparently) only custom rom available (KangVIP), am I able to flash a gapps package to it? And if anyone has done so, would you please be able to point me to the right one to use? He tried adding google apps from the built-in appstore but they don't play nicely (I wouldn't expect them to), presumably because the framework isn't there
Coming from a long list of mainstream devices, it's amazing to me to see a subforum with only one of two threads I understand the lack of support isn't due to unwillingness though; just a lack of owners and developers. I've been on XDA so long because of how helpful everyone is and I try to help others where I can from my experiences and techy logic
I would be extremely grateful for a little bit of advice if someone wouldn't mind :good:
Thank you all
PS - The device is the 16GB 703L and is currently running the B106 update (EMUI 3.1)

When you install the play store from the Chinese App Store it installs the Google Framework. The only two things you need to install are the Play Store and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter. You can download the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter here:

Thanks for this. I did read this in another thread actually but I was reading so much that it got lost in my brain somewhere
So at the moment play store is installed (I don't have the X2 with me at the moment). Play store won't load because of not being able to authenticate with Google servers. Also G+ doesn't work for the same reason and obviously sync doesn't work. So am I right in thinking that one sync adapter will solve all of that? If so I'll sort it tomorrow for him :good:
Thanks again

I didn't have to do anything on my new X2 other than install the play store and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter. Go into settings---Manage Apps and clear data for the play store and see if it opens. Mine opened no problem and I was able to sign into my Google account from there. When I opened maps it asked me to update Google play services and when I did the play store would no longer open. So I installed the Google play services update, rebooted and everything worked fine after that.

Excellent... Thanks a lot! I forwarded the link to him and told him to download and install it and he reports everything is working. To say he is grateful is an understatement. I was bombarded with messages at 2am saying how amazing it is
Just need to help him get rid of all of the Chinese bits now. Changing default apps and keyboard, launcher etc. He's not really interested in rooting which is a shame because of all the system apps I'd like to clear out for him but if he's happy I'll let it go. No good for my OCD though. I like a clean ROM myself

Have him install Swiftkey, Textra and Apex Launcher. Those are some of my favorite apps.

Swiftkey is standard for me so that's a definite recommendation. And yes something along the lines of Apex or Nova will improve it 1000%. At least then he can have an app drawer and either hide the stock Huawei apps or put them into a folder, never to be opened again
Messaging-wise he's already using WhatsApp but I'll mention Textra anyway
Google Play and Apps on X2
Which model is your friend having ? Mine is the GEM-702L and it comes pre-installed with Google Play and apps.

Textra is the best. I gave up swiftkey for touchPal. Also, love Buzz launcher also. And for emails, I cant give up on CloudMagic.

Uber App won't work - Chinese Version Mate 9 in Canada

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.

Huawei P40 Lite Google Play services

Hello,
I hope this is good subforum for this post.
So I have this brand new Huawei P40 Lite and I want to use google services. Of course these doesn't work. But I have access to an older Huawei mobile phone which has google services all working perfectly and legally. Can I just copy this data from old device to P40 Lite? Official software allow to do that once you start it for the first time, but will google services work? I just want google store with all apps working and certified, maps, chrome, yt. I don't need google pay.
Hi you wont be able to run google play store, u can use a alternative Auora Store for apps. Then Youtube you can use youtube Vanced. Then if you need maps download Waze from Auora Store
any tutorial for instal google service ?? some apps tell me if you want use this apps you need google servie.
I am joining to the question
Hi,
I have just bought a p40 lite running Build 10.1.0.301, Modell JNY-LX1
I have been trying to get google stuff on the phone for a while.
Dualspace seems to work ( download from web https://dualspace.en.uptodown.com/android) but is a little sketchy, need to clear the cache / restart phone often
VMOS pro (https://www.vmos.com/) also works but for some reason location doesn't work, so apps like strava are useless.
but it seems fairly stable
Using clone phone I got google maps working and some other things, so guess some of these you can download the apk off the web.
But so far no golden bullet.
I tried "chat partner" but get the no network error--- is there a fix for this, does this work?
I also tried bender007 's googlefier but so far I can't get through the first step of installing the alternative back up software. I guess the next step is to downgrade to another flash, but I'm afraid of bricking the phone.
Can anyone share some experience with this, it has to work as I am pretty sure my wife will kill me if I break this phone!

Well look The p40 lite sucks without GMS. There is sadly like no way to get Google services working.. My experience is okay I use an app called Aurora store to get most of the Google play store apps.
AuroraOSS
I think the moment someone can root this phone that will be awesome. Then it means we can load a custom ROMand flash GMS.

I haven't tried the Aurora store yet, but at least VMOS Pro and and dualspace are doing something.
Seems like the possibility to Brick the phone whilst downgrading is high having now read a couple of posts. I must admit I don't really understand the problem. I would have thought that it's more like installing linux on your computer in so far as you can screw up the installation of linux, but not the computer its self.
Is this something to do with the root access or a locked bootloader ?

But I don't want to root it, just downgrade it to see if the googlefier hack works. So why should it brick the phone? In my mind if I don't screw up the bootloader then I should always be able to flash back a good working version of android?

Oh if you downgrade that is no problem.
Just make sure your Model number is correct and the C Varient. F.E C432
So quick update:
Dualspace works a bit, but after a few hours despite my best efforts of restarting and clearing the cache gmail stopped working.
So I downloaded HI suite and downgraded with the option they gave me, easy no probs, can't imagine how you could screw up your phone.
Then I did the googlefier I followed this video
It's useful because there are errors that pop up , and what bender007 writes, is not always exactly what happens. So any little doubts you might have that you are doing it wrong disappear.
Still took a couple of goes as I had to stop halfway to deal with some other stuff.... don't do that !
Do the whole thing in one go.
Now it is working, and as yet I have no errors , so let's see if it is still working tomorrow!

It works perfectly fine for me?
Maybe describing the issues in detail would help get the answer you need... an older version might work better.
Try uninstalling/reinstalling. Gmaps has been a mess for years now... the Swiss Army knife of maps that does everything, and nothing well.
Given time Google will perfect, then destroy their apps, even their OS.
Gmail reached its zenith 11 years ago.
Gmaps over 7 years ago.
Android, 2 years ago.
Picasso, Yeah... never mind
Use rooted google maps
My solution was I downgraded the Google maps app and it's working good now thank you for the advice guys very much appreciated

I always use the loaded factory versions of both Gmail and Gmaps. The Playstore updates screw them up. It's been like that for years...
Uninstall the one included with the phone or clear data for it (but don't disable it). Update to the newest one from Google Play, but also make sure Google Services is updated.
The preloaded versions are usually outdated and may have the wrong info (if you actually use it), but newer versions rely on the backend updates. It's been that way since Google Services became the dumping ground to support third-party apps.
