Hey!
I'm thinking about getting Mate 30 pro , because its not available in my country, I would probably buy it from
Ali-express or Gear-Best,
- Have anyone here bought it off Gear-best or Ali-express?
(I know i wont have any warranty but that the only way. )
-How well does the Google apps works?
Mainly concerned about google services working without crashing,
-Does google assistant works well?
thanks,
Hey there,
it is working fine for me. I bought the phone 1 Month ago and installed Google apps with the help of a YouTube video.
I have no bugs, just normal everyday usage.
But don't ask me which video it was.. I don't know.
But in the forum are installation guides.
*I don't use Google assistant but it should working because everything works like a charm.
*Buy it from Amazon or Ebay.
I have been used for almost six months and installed GMS in day one I got it everything work out normally just some apps not work like SunTrust bank and Google pay. Damn! I miss Google pay

Other bank apps work?
Can you still buy apps on Google pay? (tho, you can just buy it on other device then download its just extra steps)
Have you tried Google assistant?

Hi,
I wanted to buy P40 Pro, like today, but I had second thougths, about GMS, there is a way that I can install GMS without notifications? The only App that I "depend" from Google is Youtube.
Thank you!.
If the only app you need from Google is YouTube, then you can install YouTube Vanced https://vanced.app/
It works without GMS. And it has built in adblocker.

Yeah I can vouch for that, vanced worked great for me.
Is it worth it? For me, I got it during a promotion, so I got some freebies that made it worth to buy. If there was no promotion, I think I will get another phone instead.
Also take notice that its not only google apps which are not available. A lot of 3rd party apps actually have google dependencies, and so they won't work as they should
But as far as user experience, it has been great for me. Camera is very good (but be wary of the super shallow depth of field, I think this is why some people are complaining image looks soft), gaming also feels pretty good, and most of the apps I need is already copied through phone clone. Only caveat is banking apps are not available yet. But again it depends on where ur at, I read in reviews that most banking apps are supported in Malaysia and Indonesia, so I took the gamble and hoped it will be available soon too.

Which guide did you mean? If its the MicroG from Youtube Vanced then no, you can't use Google Pay. I can't say how it is with the other GMS guide though, I haven't installed GMS yet
There is a serious proplem at Oneplus 8 phone with Google pay and other apps payment.The card is registered and ready to use.When you hold the phone to the terminal it takes a number of seconds for the blue tick to appear by which time the terminal doesn't process the payment.
Is this Hardware or Software issue? Its humiliating when someone go to pay and the phone payment (NFC and apps payment) cannot be made and you don't have any other payment method (physical card or cash money) Pls help..

Is your phone rooted?..from what I understand Google Pay won't work if there is root.
Use Google Pay daily, with my T-Mo OP8
Honestly, I've found pay to be hit or miss depending on the phone and the card scanner. It works on my op8 pretty reliably even with root. You have to use magisk hide if rooted.
I tried to use Google Pay last week, and it wouldn't do anything. I thought maybe I hadn't finished enabling my card for Google Pay since getting the OP8. I checked today and discovered NFC was turned off. [emoji2357]
Yo!
So Ive seen various posts regarding banking apps that work / don't work. I don't really think its to much of an issue personally however we all have different expectations/wants/needs.
My main bank is Natwest and the joint account is with Barclays. My banking needs tends to be check pay, pay bills & hope I can last the month with what I have left but other than that, that's banking done for me until the whole thing starts again with the next pay.
So really what I want to know is, how do you see this impacting on Huawei, I mean is the whole 'worry' for their customers souly relaying on banking apps? Can people not just use the mobile browser? Natwest mobile site VS app is very similar in my opinion. and Barclays I tend not to worry about as my wife 'handles that part'.
I notice weekly the huge updates on app gallery and then petal search. So who knows whats out next, Im a huge Huawei fan boy, I got my mate out in china to pick me up a matepad pro pre-UK launch legit because I thought the design was outstanding and for me the concern of apps wasn't even a thought! Ive had a couple of people offer to put GMS on it but really I don't need it, Who needs a platform that'll drain the hell outta my battery!
SO these are the ones that appear to offer the full service from other threads that I've found on here.
Tesco
First Direct
Halifax
Lloyds TSB
Nationwide
Santander
HSBC
Monzo
Anyways I appreciate your inputs/criticisms
Scott
I use Halifax and lloyds for my personal banking and have not had any issue with them as they phone cloned over. Also they work on the Aurora store i have found. But my credit card is with Barclays and is only really used for work. I haven't had an issue using the browser for it.

Hey just saw this thread. I Installed G services using a youtube guide on a Mediapad M6. Everything seems to be working completely fine including the natwest app, I have not tried to transfer any money but the app loads fine, logs in, doesn't crash and is fully functional. Am considering getting a p40 pro but need the natwest app. Do you think it will work as this method for getting G services on the phone is said to work for P40 pro too?.... https://youtu.be/pdgGkHEe7V4

if it works on the m6 I cant see why it wouldn't , I don't think that id be confident of installing it though, theres another user on this page called Linux25 who has made reference to this app before, I just don't know how safe it is and would it affect my warranty?

Hi all. So I have just purchased this device through eBay from an Australian seller (I am in Australia). They advertised Chinese model KB2000 which will come flashed with global ROM Oxygen OS with Google Play etc. I knew what I was getting so this was good but I had already planned to flash Hydrogen with this XDA guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ogenos-google-apps-theme-ota-updates.4199011/) and get back the CP2077 goodies etc.
Phone arrived with Hydrogen installed but with Play store which has obviously saved me some ADB time and effort. I plan to run the remove bloat script above to get rid of the Chinese market and other apps I won't use.
I have been using the phone for 2 days and even though all Google services and apps etc are working no probs, I can't for the life of me work out why but Google Pay contactless payment will not work? I get try again error on vendor machines or insert card. Is this a common issue with the Chinese Hydrogen ROM or something to do with OnePlus user account. OnePlus pay is installed but I can't register as it asks for a phone number with +86 area code.
I have searched high and low for help with this and am hoping to resolve this issue as I use contactless pay quite a lot.
Cheers.

I know it 's not the case here, but I'm doing some research and I see u have KB2000 with HydrogenOS running.
Are u rooted? If yes, which level is your widevine at? L1 or L3?
Thanks bro, I'll appreciate the help.
Edit: btw, I have KB2000 also and GPay works fine. However, I'm on OxygenOS international ver.
I know there's some issues on other products like Chinese Mi Band NFC doesn't works on my country. Don't think it's the case though.

I'm starting to think that the Chinese HOS ROM is what is causing the contactless pay to not work.

I tried out google pay at target and a fast food joint yesterday. No issues and was quicker than my Samsung. I'm on latest HOS.
Do did you remove any native HOS apps? Most of them are in chinese but I keep the wallet/payment apps

I had tried Google pay prior to removing any unwanted apps. Long story short I have flashed Oxygen OS with MSM tool and all Google services and apps work spot on for me now. Just no OTA updates which is not the end of the world as you can install updates from OP website with local file anyway.
I found the below link for Cyberpunk goodies which works a treat. The only thing not working for me now is 5G and VoLTE.

Can be sideloaded the Google Playstore APK ? thanks
I'm asking because 2 different YouTuber reviewers reply with opposite answers:
Izami Gadget replies: Hi. Yes. Can install it with no problem. Same as another china phone that comes without GMS. can sideload the play store APK without a problem
Elsegood Michael replies: Not on the Chinese version no. You’ll have to wait to see if it’s released globally in the next couple of months
I'd like to know the same thing. Have ordered one from China. Should be with me by Tuesday (UK).

yeah. i hate this. its unbelievable how bad reviewers are these days.
from what I understand:
yes. you can side-load the Play Store. i've seen the Play Store installed on the phone.
unfortunately, you can download Gmail for example, but you cannot sign-into Gmail once you open the app.
thats why people are saying no Google Services.
thats how i understand it, hope it clears some things up for you.
also, you should look up all the ways to get Google Services on Huawei and Honor devices.
search "huawei honor google services".
people with these devices without Google Services shipped have been using a workaround for at least 2 years now.
some real capable people out there.

Yes I used the same on my mate x2. Using the above method you can install from the backup but when opening the G (lzplay.helper) it doesn't install gms just error.
I purchased mine from Trinity Electronics Hong Kong. I've used them a couple of times and they are very quick at replying and sending. Like any 3rd party seller there is a mark up on price. I don't mind paying a bit extra for peace of mind.
