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

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
bank of scotland works also, use it every day

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?

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.

Yep that is the same thing.
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,
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.

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

So here I am, 6 weeks later with my p40 pro, I have completely indulged in the world of Huawei mobile services & Im increasing the level of my knowledge around certain apps and alternatives, The biggest one thanks to @linux25 for recommending it in a previous thread regarding vanced, I was a bit unsure on how to do it at one point, BUT its live. So that's YouTube ticked off :highfive:
other than that I think the obvious alternatives are there now and to be fair im not bothered about what I use for them, My gmail I use Huaweis own email app, It does the same thing Ive never been one for google pay as I think its a rapid way of being skint really early after payday lol. Ive just recently downloaded the Tom Tom app, which I love, clean and easy to use and on my adventures over the weekend in the campervan I gave it a good go and well yeah it got me to a to b easily.
So the question remains of what other google apps do I need that there isn't alternatives for? Personally ive run dry on problems and im free flowing with solutions
6 weeks in and im glad I got this device!
After Much searching for a new phone mine is being delivered today.
I hope I get on with it, coming over from a Google Pixel 2xl.
Eyes wide open and not too worried about Google services etc.
Yep I feel pretty similar at this point.
I'll be honest prior to actually owning this device I was a bit skeptical about the whole "HMS" thing and their alternatives being true replacements for some of GMS, and not just plugged holes - and my original thought was to side load GMS - I was really wrong! The Huawei Cloud is super clean, and I love how all my photos from my Mate 10 Pro and P30 Pro sync over to my P40 Pro in separate folders on all 3 devices. Seeing how well this has been executed has definitely made me intrigued to see what else they have to offer going forward.
YouTube through the browser just wasn't going to be a full term solution for me, but Vanced is a game changer I wish I had even when I was using GMS based Huaweis! (It's now on the P30 Pro also)
I do wish there was a way to get individual apps working (including niche ones) using split installers without having to fully side-load GMS onto the device!
Have yet to give TomTom a go, have been using Waze for a year and minus the odd wild goose chase it puts you on occasionally I do still think its better than GMaps (although the similarities are getting closer)
Get Barclays working, and apps accessible for general consumers a little bit easier and I think Huawei might have been done a favour....
Found it really similar TBH. No real issues i still find the odd app that doesn't work like the Starbucks app. In fairness that helps me out because I will be spending less on coffee.
Having Android as a foundation on new Huawei devices is a blessing and with more and more developers coming on board daily it is a matter of time before HMS is the next best "since sliced bread" there are very few apps that I need from a GMS device such as Sky News, Sky Bet etc but am hopefully these will make there way across soon enough.
A big one for me would be gaming payments for example as a time pass I play Candy Crush on GMS but on HMS I do not have the functions to buy credits (if that makes sense)

No GCam version works on current Huawei phones. You would need to unlock the bootloader and enable camera2 api, but that's not possible.
Only GCam GO works. But no point in using it on the P40 Pro.

Sorry for the late reply.
I'm working night shifts and have only switched the phone on for a few minutes to see how things look.
I have to say it feels great in the hand and it is a step up from my 2xl.
Super slow motion video is amazing and I'm surprised to say that I like the look and feel of EMUI.
Sorry not much help to you but I intend to have a good play around at the weekend and turn it into my daily driver.
to add to this post - does any one know of a way to cast the phone other than wireless projection? I have both a chromecast and a fire stick - would be super useful for me! Plus im currently in the middle of converting a van into a campervan - so ill be running a 12 v TV but it wont be a smart TV - So ill be using a hotspot to connect either one of the devices (chromecast/firestick) so which ever one can (if possible) would be amazing

You could use an ago called Allcast, I have found this worked well for me. Can cast media, not sure about projection.
id say all cast works best and is compatible with multiple different apps so everything son one place

Agreed. There's always room for improvement though, so GCam would be a very nice option for those interested - me included. I always had GCam installed on my previous non-Huawei phones. Sad I can't do it on my P40 Pro, but it is what it is.
Google PlayStore compatible ?
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.

Question where did you purchase your Honor Magic V from? I am looking to purchase mine soon and looking for reputable buyer and faster shipping.
Have you tried these two versions below. I remember when I had my Mate X2 I had installed it using the below methods.
GMS Tutorial-
and Google Play Protect -
well that sucks.. I also saw one of the review videos where the lay store was installed but it would quit when you tried to open.. Its a deal braker since I need some work related apps. Will keep my oppo find n...
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.
how are push notifications ?
Google Play Store can Install but not Work !!

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.

Facebook and twitter work fine as you don't need Google services for them to work. For YouTube I've been using Vanced for years as I like it better than the normal YouTube app
