Mate 8 - chinese Model - Experience, Trouble + Root

Hi everyone,
i just received my Mate 8 (64GB/LTE/4GB) from China via UK Delivery. First i really have to say wow for speed and optic, its fantastic
My pre-installed PlayStore did not work well, so i decided to Update to C00B129 and reset the whole device. I reinstalled Google PlayStore via APK, got the Updates for Google Play Services and now i have the annoying Auto-Sync Problem with Apps like whatsapp, telegramm and even email. PNF(nonRoot) ect. wont really help, i set up all apps as "protected" so they can run in background after sending device to sleep. I also checked the Background-Data Restriction, its disabled. All apps can use Wifi and Mobile Data. Wireless is set to "always on", same with mobile Data.
For the moment i can just say that, once i open telegramm, email or whatsapp, all messages are received quickly without delay. If you press the app-Overview and close those apps via "trash"-Icon to free memory, no further messages are received until you re-open the app. Emails will be received as soon as you unlock the screen, if you do not close the email app and just jump back to home screen, email push works fine for me.
I have no idea why, it looks like the settings "protected app" does not work and the apps are closed as soon as you try to free some memory.
Btw, i know that most messenger apps use Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) for message delivery - where or in what app(s) are the GCM components integrated? Maybe its just necessary to install different google apps? If GCM is now integrated in google play services, i have no better idea how to fix that. A few people wrote that "phone manager" might be the problem, but i cant disable or even stop this app as its a system app...

Follow the steps here exactly as mentioned without skipping anything :
1) Factory reset your phone
2) After reset,
Download contact for android 6 apk
Then download contact sync APK for android 6
DO NOT LAUNCH OR EXECUTE any of them for now ...
Go to phone manager, go to permission manager and in CONTACT, let CONTACT app and CONTACT SYNC ALWAYS allow to change the contacts. It is by default on notify ...
Then, launch contacts app, introduce your login and password from google and it will sync all your contacts. AFTER that, you can download play store, google agenda etc ... You can find all apk i have mentioned on apkmirror
Then all will work perfectly with your chinese mate 8

Contact app for android 6
No results when I typed 'contact for android 6 apk' on the apkmirror site but the Play store came up with a list of contact manager apps. Do you have the exact name of the app?

Sorry, i wrote this to help people having issues with syncing their contact, so i ve posted this on the wring thread. About your problem, it is defintely a permission issue. Check also in the "account" section in the settings ...

Contact and calendar work fine for me. GoogleContactSyncadapter.apk will do the thing.
But I still wonder why
1. WhatsApp and email receive messages after app open, telegram with the same permissions always receive even with push
2. I can not open settings from apps with inapp purchase, I can only download via playstore and Run them with default settings. Additional content does not work and I wonder how inapp purchase Information is downloaded or submitted to the app once it's downloaded from playstore

Update
2. I can not open settings from apps with inapp purchase >>> some apps can be found as "modified" version somewhere else, so if inapp purchase fail to download/add optional components, you may use such a version ...
still need to figure out what components are missing...

here is the file that solve my contact sync problem .
com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts_6.0-2280749-23_(nodpi)_APKdot.com.apk

Update
You may download the "Google installer.apk" or get Google Apps via HiApp (better register a new account via website, you can use your email adress, no need for your mobile number)
i downloaded via HiApp :
Google Play Store >> v6.0.5 (seem to include Google Framework and Google Play Services)
Google Calendar Sync Adapter >> v5.2.3-99827563-release
Google Contact Sync Adapter >> v6.0-2302772
Now everything except the Push Notifications work fine. Even with Apps like Email or Whatsapp set to "allow run after screen lock", Access to Background Data granted, "ignore optimize >> yes" ect ect. the App does not notify me about any incomming Message as soon as you "close" them via Trash Icon/swipe them off. If you keep them "open" in background, notifications work fine.
I guess it´s something about the phone manager itself or Android 6, but it seems i can not fix that for the moment. Eventually there will be modified roms or an marshmallow root soon...

Try this:
settings
advanced settings
battery manager
press the gear icon in the top of the screen
then set "keep mobile data on during sleep" to on.
That's off by default, and if you don't have a WiFi connection then yes the messages will be delayed.

Using a Nubia X without GApps

What are the possible replacements for google services?
Aptoide/Yalp store as replacement for play store?
If it works, I guess installing youtube, maps, etc. from either store should work? Or not?
Or we can find alternative apps thatbwork like youtube, gmaps, etc. anyway
How about retrieving contacts saved in google account? Can i retrieve them using browser logged in my google account? How to import into phone?
Users of Apps/games that require google login like pubg should use alternative logins now. Will it work?
What are the all the requirements for degooglefied phone like nubia x?

Hi,
I'm using one phone like that, until some solution for the google services is found.
It's a bit uncomfortable, but it's working. In anther one post I have uploaded a picture how it looks like.
Here is the answers of your questions:

YouTube app generally working, but closes when cant find the google services. Anyway I'm watching the videos from the browser.
Maps - you can install Chrome and then pin it to the home screen. Works like charm.
You can install Mesanger, WatsApp, Viber, Skype - they work.

With PUBG I had some issues installing it because except the apk has obb, may be I'll try later when I have some time. Fortnite is working like charm. Even with the back screen two additional buttons is like a cheat.
Things which I could not solve until now:
- Outlook cant import o365 mail hosted by GoDaddy.
- It seems that, a lot of applications rely on google services for the push notifications. If the app (let say Viber) is not running, you may not have popup notification on the lock screen. (If anyone knows how to solve that I'll be happy)
So, that's all. At the end you can live with the phone. I'm happy with it.
I hope that answers your question. If you have other questions - let me know

How about updating/syncing contacts? I mean after retrieving them and i added a new contact entry. How do i update/sync that contact into google?
And for photos? Do i have to manually backup to pc or cloud since there's no google photos and no google drive?
Any other concerns i might have forgotten?
Edit:
Link to this thread you mentioned?

I used aptoide - the only google apps that seems to work is Google Chrome Browser and gmaps. youtube did not work through aptoide as didn't all the other google apps i tried. I placed a youtube home page using the chrome broswer on the desktop. Whatsapp apk i downloaded from their official website and installed working fine. When I downloaded whatsapp through aptoide and the chinese market app it won't work and keeps saying date and time is not right even though it is - maybe because its not chinese date and time?
For Contacts i opened my pc with chrome broswer and downloaded the contacts VCARD which you can do and placed in root folder of Nubia X - picked all my contacts up - I'm not sure how to sync though to google accounts as you cant add a google account through the phone unless you root as per other posts.
Pretty silly how they just didn't let you install gapps without root - i buy a lot of chinese phones and its the standard now even if google isnt preinstalled - its been a long time since I've seen a phone that doesn't let you install gapps yourself if you want too even though they dont support it. I'm finding it hard to use the phone and it will probably end up in a drawer for a few months until the international rom is released with google. Its annoying, even switching the phone off the voice assistant starts in Chinese and i want to get rid of this.
I've deleted practically all the bloatware, yet can't get music player to detect music i placed in the music folder.
Should have done my reading before hand but oh well... I got it for less than £495 from geekbuying 128gb version but should have waited out for the international rom version
Most of my good apps I downloaded through the Amazon App Store which is also working so I have 3 markets on my phone at the moment.

Can anyone add your Google calendar to the Huawei calender app?

When I open my default Calendar app and add account I only get corporate as an option. I made sure to add my Google account during GMS settings but for so reason I can't add my Google calendar which is my main calender. Big blow. Again, is it just me or anyone else?

Yes. You need to install both Google Calendar Sync Adapter (which is missing from the currently commonly circulated zip files of GMS apps) and Google Calendar.
On my Mate 30 Pro I experienced the occasional calendar sync jam that would drain the phone's battery, but haven't seen this so far on P40.

Thank you so so much! Question do I need to keep the Google calendar app installed once I added the account to my Huawei calender or can I remove it? I will keep the calendar sync app installed

I'm using Microsoft Outlook instead of Huawei Calendar, and it works fine with Google Calendar on P40 Pro...

Thanks, i like the look and feel of the huawei calendar, been holding off on installing te google calender, will try now, hopefully it would remain synced if google is unistalled

You need to leave it installed. If Huawei calendar is not syncing, open Google calendar and refresh it.
Just disable notifications for Google Calendar and chuck it in a folder.

Export Your Google Agenda(s) via a Web page, you will get a .ical file; unzip it; put the unzip file(s) in a usb key; connect this usb key to your phone; just click one time on this file; select the application Huawei Agenda and Huawei Agenda will import it; that's all

push notification email on Huawei P40 Pro

I've been trying to get push notifications to work on my phone for email specifically.
I don't know about all of the lazy fix and other fixes available.
For me i got Google services mostly working and didn't want to play with that.
I downloaded an app called blue mail from the app gallery, also available on the play store.
Very good app and my push notifications are working very well.
Just wanted to share. Maybe it'll help someone.

Have you checked the delay from sent email to received notification?
Yahoo email app is better.
Need to freeze GMS.

Yeah i still keep the yahoo app for the account key.
I don't want to freeze the GMS services. Luckily the blue mail app works well even with that enabled.

I also use BlueMail, till now this is the best app imo.
I sync my calendars for all accounts with BlueMail which is perfect. For example the Outlook app not only has notifications broken but also doesn't allow you to sync your calendar with the phone's Calendar app which is very strange.

How can anyone answer your question if you do not tell us what configuration you are running !?
yahoo mail app notifications as per below ...
a) HMS + microG = ok
b) HMS + GMS + icebox freeze = ok
c) HMS naked = can't remember.

d) HMS + GMS + GSF disabled by adb ( works for me)

You will wait for a long time .. already about 6 months and no improvement.
If you really want to use google, then sell the phone.
If you want to de-google your life a bit, then switch to other options for music, apps, youtube, email, etc ... although there are no other options for NFC payment unless you live in a country with Huawei Pay compatible banks.

Very hard to de-Google-myself when you have a lot of Google android stuffs... And another 6-7 phones working perfectly. Kids with YouTube as favorite program who knows how to cast on their LG tv's, payments, banks who does not accept accounts if you are not Google certified... I was thinking they will find a way to solve this issues...

i was hoping too .. I thought the power of Huawei might prevail ... but I have given up now ... I registered for notifications with about 40 apps when I got the phone ... guess how many have been made available on Huawei App Gallery? ... Zero .. doesn't look like developers are interested.
No improvements in the XDA hacks to get GMS/GPS working correctly .. always a struggle that doesn't seem like it can be beaten.
Now I have a Note 20 Ultra 5G.

i sold mine for a good price luckily ... disappointing as I was really looking forward to move to the new Mate 40 .. but no more Huawei at the moment.
you can see on the forum here, there is very little interest ... not many threads & posts.

I managed to put the ice freeze and now I have notifications but no Google play store
Can you please help how to make Aurora store default store so I do not have to press download and go to Play store where I see a big error. Please...

I don't understand ... Never open or use Google Play store now so just keep frozen ... Install aurora app store APK and open aurora app store and update each app or install new apps

For example when I am in Facebook and when I press install Messanger it will drive me through... Directly to Google Play store.
I want to redirect me directly to Aurora Play store.
In Windows it is called default program.

HMS+microG ... does not work for all notifications unfortunately ... you might be lucky and your essential apps are working correctly with notifications .. but it is not a perfect fix for notifications .. frozen GMS is reliable.

Google Contacts and Calendar not syncing

So all other google services seem to be working fine, app store is good.
Contacts and calender refuse to update.
I go into User&Accounts>Google>Sync sync now and it syncs Fi/Fit data/People but not Contacts. returns 'sync is currently experiencing problmes, it will be back shortly"
It did work as it says it synced 2 days ago. when I first got everything side loaded and working.
anyone else having issues or known fix?

Had the same issue. So I started from scratch with the installation of the Google Services until sync was working in-between the steps of installation.

Actually I saw that on different p40 the symptoms are different.
I have p40 pro and after initial sync when I put the Google account stopped syncying and even yahoo syns does not work
I'd you are above 136 on p40 pro lz application does not work.
I used a different method to put Google services and still does not work.

everything syncs and works but google contacts... that is the strange part.
will probably wait till something breaks it good and then hope there is a better "method"
I can live with manually import/export contacts.
I was just hoping it was something simple but doesnt sound like it
Thanks

Well actually I solved this...
Use app Fix Play Services 2020 and it will install new Play magazine and clear some cache and... It works. Now I can sync both Google and Yahoo accounts.
Remains the problems I have with Google Pay and Edenred Pay... Also I cannot sing in into UniCredit Account. Aplication is working but you cannot add your personal data.

Did it fix the google contact sync for u too? I'm also curious where you download the apk as it's not found in Aurora store. And the one I found from apkpure only do basic things like clear play services cache and stuff like that , that I already tried and not working.
