Google Pay on OP6

Good day!
I was about to setup my google pay, but i did not find it in my settings. In fact, i can't even download it from the google store, it says that my device is not suitable for that. Even tho in my settings(wireless and network) i can find a tab "tap and pay" and use either "cards" app or "google pay" as default. But how can i set it up?
Thanks

Is your bootloader unlocked? Might not be able to even install it if it is.

have you managed to fix it? this should work by default with stock OS/locked BL

We all know that Google exists by spying on people's personal information. IMO letting them have access to your financial details through Google Pay would be a huge mistake. So be glad if it doesn't work.

Well that's not sensationalism or very nanny of you at al Google exists by selling ads, not spying. They use the information you provide to Target ads, so you get things that might appeal to you, and they get more money per view/click.
Why would allowing someone to download and use an app hurt you? Why should I not be allowed to use an app just because your a paranoid person?

Hhm, that is superwierd, cuz i do not have one. Maybe it depends on my location? I am from Estonia, EU. Still can not manage it to work, and even my "Cards" app seems not to work on any of store's terminals i tried. COuntry issue?

Did it worked before? I see Estonia not on the list of contries eligible of Google pay.

Also Estonian guy.
Never got it to work at home.... Then while traveling to Norway. It suddenly asked if I want to add a card and it became active.
So it is location-based it seems

just a heads up, last day to unlock your bootloader, get your keys now

Rooting never breathed life into any ailing phone manufacturer, and the tiny proportion of people who root phones will not kill anything.
Huawei will continue to flourish.

yup. some people may not LIKE that you can't root a phone, but the actual percentage of those that won't actually buy the phone for this reason is minuscule.
otherwise, the first time a phone manufacturer sees their sales actually explode after releasing unlooked bootloaders, they'd always unlock it, but that's simply not the case

Ok I think you're being quite short sighted here, allow me to explain a little.
People who root their phones, usually the same ones who mod and develop ROMs and love a tinker, generally speaking the techie in the family, the one who your family tends to turn to when they have an upgrade come around or need something fixing.
Those very same people are more than likely to recommend a phone which has the ability to root, bootloader unlock and modify than they are one which has a completely locked down eco system.
You can say what you like, you can say I'm full of it, but I've seen how people react to a company changing its principles in regards to bootloader unlocking, HTC did this once, they then reversed their decision after seeing an immediate decline in sales, not solely due to the device either, it was the people's influence which caused it, then after two not so great phones later, they were a struggling company, and make no mistake, HTC was a colossal company which was on the up and up, bare in mind they made a lot of what android is today.
Huawei are making the exact same mistake because they overlooked how important that 1% is and the influence that they have over the vast majority of other users who value their opinion and will commit to a purchase on their say so.
It doesn't matter if you believe me, it's just an observation I've witnessed when HTC made the same decision.
Sure they'll continue, they make other components as well as phones, in all fairness they could stop selling phones and still survive.
But for XDA, for development, for what we know today of Huawei devices? Lol If you think it's quiet here on the p20 pro forum, wait til you see the ghost town of a thread there will be for the p30 and pro, I doubt there will be a single ROM, no Dev would be dumb enough to buy it.

**** I am receiving my phone in 5 days...

Picked up a code just in case anyone I sell it to is interested. Probably won't use it myself.

Huawei is targeting the Apple clientele. They couldn‘t care less about bootloader unlocking. Look at their advertising, their USP is design, camera, beautiful visuals. They don‘t sell to the tech nerd who wants to flash different software.

Damn.
You may still be able to do something , there was a guide on the above link posted by a user which can unlock the bootloader by all accounts.
This phone is quite a beast and there could and should be another way in the future.
Plus Huawei will probably reverse their decision, that's not confirmed by any means but I think they will.
Funky Huawei ( which is normally not what I'd recommend) will probably see a lot more action now that official unlocks are gone too.
Don't worry too much, if it's still possible someone will find out.

Please see the fifth post in this thread. That's all i have to say on that matter.
You're right in what you're saying, they however are wrong in what they're doing and they'll find that out the hard way.

I'm shocked. I received my phone today and wanted to root it and now I read this.
Maybe you guys can help me understand a few things because I haven't tampered with any Android device since 2014.
- will I be fine with the standard pre-installed EMUI or am I missing some really cool and better custom OS when I can't unlock and root my device?
- I've used Xposed, AFWall+, TWRP and XPrivacy on my old phone - are there similar and equally safe tools for unrooted devices?
- How can I make backups without TWRP?
- are there any known workaround procedures known that would let me unlock the bootloader without that code from Huawei? Is it likely that there will be one?
Thanks

Same question here. I have my Twilight P20 Pro lying here, unused since release in fact (so way past the return window) and meant to give it to my wife, but only with Root Tools (Adaway, YT Vanced etc.)
I missed the window since I was traveling and support won't help me.
I get it, my fault for not doing it in time but what now? I wouldn't mind paying for it, as the only other option appears to be selling the device at a huge loss (I paid full retail) and finding a different phone altogether.

Will Google Pay work on the Magic 2?

The Magic 2 looks fantastic, but before I go ahead and order one (probably with a China ROM), are there any reports on google pay compatibility?
Apparently it will not work on phones that are not "Play Protect certified", rooted, running a custom ROM, or "Are untested and haven’t been approved by Google".
:fingers-crossed:

Yes, google play will work.
Just go "huawei store" download and install "Google Play Store"
ps: I am use China local version of Magic2, 8G/128G/Red

For in store purchases, only MasterCards work unfortunately. When I tried adding American Express or Visa, it keeps asking me to contact my bank.

It works for me in the UK. Master debit and credit as well as Amex.

Hello
I have a questions for you
I don't understand Honor ...I was ready to buy the phone but than I asked to myself why MIx 3 has a much better use of the slider why there was no customization of the functionality of the slider or small menu , like Xiaomi?
It is so useful for e-payment, or to recall a frequent app, I asked to a seller in the shop he said me "they will implement" but how this seller can know it?
I just saw there is a new update of the MAGIC UI 2.0. did you know something?
I hope in the future they will implement it.....it is unbelivable.

And what has that to do with this thread?
You have pasted this into three different threads, I get it, you want a slider with programmable slide action. Get the Mix then.

Huawei stated that more functionality would come to the slide function in future updates.

So the Xiaomi has the better design subtleties and adds Qi wireless charging. The Honor wins in the camera department and its in-screen fingerprint scanner is the preferable option. Between the two handsets the actual motion of the sliding mechanism is too close to call – although the Xiaomi, when we saw it, was more customisable than the Honor (which, we're assured, will change via software updates).

Luke which bank are you using? I had problems with the Chinese mi mix 2s and Google pay and since then I was like, never getting a Chinese version again. Cheers

I am with Metro Bank. Before the HM2, I used a Mi Mix 1 which also worked with Clydesdale. I switched to Metro 1.5 years ago, so I can't test them with the Honor.
I am not sure how the ROM version would prevent you from registering with certain banks - I always believed the device is trusted and either works or doesn't work at all.

Not sure either but it gave me a headache... Google play was certified tho. I had to get the global version and sell the Chinese. Well.... haven't sell it yet... Bugger

So I now have my magic 2!
I love the design. It's all pretty nice and snappy. The in display fingerprint works well. The camera has left me pretty disappointed, as everyone else has been raving on about the performance. I'll make another post addressing that.
As far as google pay goes, I get the "Added features couldn't be set up" "To resolve this, you'll need to contact your bank." error when adding my Nationwide Visa card. Google support assured me that the bank just needs to "re-tokenize" my card. The bank of course had no idea what this meant, so I should have a new card in the post to try adding. I also haven't been able to turn on the contactless built in to the barclaycard app with an error CM2002 "Sorry, something went wrong". I'll update if I get a solution.

Hiya!
I just picked up the honor magic 2 from china and my phone does not have the 'huawei store'. it does however have an 'app gallery'. Are they the same thing?
Also when I search for 'google' or 'google play store', i get some google apps but not the 'google play store' or 'google play services.
When I try installing any of the apps it takes me to the browser and shows a tab that attempts to open play services but does nothing.
Please help.

If the Google play store isn't there, try installing it as an apk from apkmirror for example.

Yes when it comes to the esthetics but I think it hard to argue regarding the mechanical design. The design between the sliding parts has tighter tolerance on the Honor phone. For example the is a rather large gap between the phone and screen on the Mi mix. On the Honor there are no gaps because the parts that slide are more integrated together.
The phones are a bit different when it comes to the implementation of the sliding part. The Mi mix slides the screen down and the "phone and camera" stay still, while on the Honor the "phone and screen" slides down and the back with the camera stay still.

Hi hoangtu, that's great!!!
Can I ask a few questions. What firmware are you on?
Do you have the same model as me. The evr-al00? Chinese variety? Or the global version? I suspect the global, right? In which case. Lucky you. I couldn't really grab the global as I'm in mainland China.
If you have the Chinese model, did you unlock your phone with a code? Where did you get this code from, I'd like to get my phone unlocked too.
If not unlocked, was it simply a matter of removing the Huawei launcher? I'm a little apprehensive to do this... Can't seem to get adb to respond. I think it's because my bootloader is locked.
Any assistance you can offer would be great. I feel like I'm running around in circles chasing at my tail at the moment.
I have a small window of opportunity (about a week) before I get Ultra busy at work. I would love to get this sorted ASAP.
Edit: I wonder if CNY and the fact that China closes during this period has anything to do with no codes bring issued.
Thanks.

good to hear that . We are all want this device run oxygen OS lol . It would be perfect

Mate 30 Pro and custom ROM's

Hey everyone
I just heard about Huawei been a bit more relaxed about rooting their Mate 30 Pro.
At First I was like that is AWESOME, the idea of been able to use the Mate 30 Pro with pixel experience (my favourite custom Rom) sounds amazing.... best Pixel stock experience on a beast like Mate 30 would be epic.
Then I found a strange taste in my mouth. There would still be some draw backs. Thought I would list some concerns and people could answer some of those concerns.
(Note....each concern/question has a solution or comment I think about the issue.....this is just my view and not to be taken as the only view)
1. Lack of full potential from cameras on the back?
I know some custom ROM camera apps are pretty good l, but to really experience the best from the camera's you would have to have some access to l the Mate 30 Pro stock camera app package to allow.
A thought I had is that Huawei could make a APK that's a bit like Goodlock and this app would allow you to download the stock camera app and other stock apps that people may use on their Huawei devices.
2. LTE and 5G??
I can remember using my Samsung S7E with Pixel Experience but one of the draw backs was that I could get 4G but I didn't get the extra features like LTE, wifi calling, HD call quality ect. If this remained the case then this would be a major draw back to a 2019 flagship device.
Maybe Huawei could needed coding and solutions directly to custom Rom developers....or allow then to be a open source so every ROM devloper had access these features.
3. General Custom ROM glitches and bugs
We are all used to our ROMs having strange behaviours every now and ad gain but do we want these bugs on our £800+ smartphone that we use eveqersryday.
This solution seems obvious Huawei need to work closely with custom Rom developers and helping them Iron these issues out.
4. Some apps dont work on custom Roms no matter what.
Back to my S7e I was able to almost all of the apps on my phone thanks to magisk manager but some apps still had issues. My samsung gear app would pair with my gearfit 2 no matter what. It downloaded but it would not find any devices. I found a fix but that caused my Google to stop working, so had to put it back. This happened with other apps as well.
The only solution I can think of is app developers would have to made aware that mate 30 users could be using rooted devices with Huawei's blessing and ensure there apps work on rooted versions of the phone.
5. Is Warranty still safe.
If Huawei are actually cool with us rooting our P30 Pro then they need to put their money where their mouth is and allow this activity with their manufactures warranty, private insurance companies need to follow suit as well.
Huawei could give us manufactures warranty but with the condition that if possible we have to flash the stock firmware of the device before sending it out.
That's it....that's just s few of my thoughts and possible solutions and would love to hear what you guys think and if you have any worries or questions of your own? Maybe if we make enough noise Huawei will notice us and take our ideas and answer our questions themselves.
(Make it easier....put which number comment your answering to so we all have a better idea what's going on)
Keep it friendly guys remember these are mine and others thoughts.... none of us are implying that these thoughts are right.
By the way... I am a Note 9 user but I am really excited of the potential of Huawei been the ultimate custom ROM brand.

Official Pixel Experience is pretty much nill on Huawei Devices. I see the Honor 10 has
again been dropped.
When the Ban is lifted Huawei will lock the bootloader again no doubt.

they have changed their mind, they will not unlock the BL for the Mate 30.
the only place this device will sell well is China, they are screwed pretty much everywhere else.

I just bought one in shanghai yesterday. Its a very neat and fast phone. especially the 40w charging is cool. you can watch percentages go up...
I asked for the 5G version but i was told its not availbale and should come November. I was wondering though if its already built in and just needs a software patch... like back then when Nvidia was reducing performace on Graphic cards by disabling shaders by firmware...

I would say most likely it works, as the China version covers pretty much all the network.
You could find out the specs from their website and check if the LTE bands covers T-Mobiles. It works on Bell's network though.

By the way, I have 2 sim card, one is China Union (works on AT&T's network) which support VoLTE, the other is T-Mobile which does not.

Thank you I think I'm convinced

I was trying to find a thread about the bootloader being unlocked on this phone and couldn't find one. I came across this video on YouTube where this guy turns on his phone and says his phone unlocked. He doesn't say how he did it but I'm thinking someone might want to contact him and ask him how he did it. About 2 minutes in he shows this

Most likely a review unit like others have had, release software dosnt have OEM unlock option in developers, if something comes of the int. Version we may be able to get rebranding but has yet to be seen

He commented about it being a devkit under the comment by Markus Haier here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5pxYxPSbl_s and said he was going to make a video on it but still nothing.
@o012 Well my P30-Pro (VOG-L09) has OEM unlocking under developer options but haven't tried unlocking.

All works in canada except certain banking apps google backup netflix google pay androis assistant needs to be rebooted everytime. Rest all works fine including google photo backup

Has anyone installed a custom ROM and TWRP to it yet.
Could a Gapps package help the issues? Gapps include all the google services and system setting to keep google stable and updating.
Think Gapps could be installed via the phones built in bootloader??.
