Huawei Mediapad stock ICS 4.0.3
Only real mod done Xposed Framework but no modules are active.
Any 3rd party app I try that uses the Google maps for it's map function won't show any maps in it.
Yet Google maps itself does. the Google is at version 6.6.
I know there's a newer version but when I update to that, when I try to open Google maps it shows a screen
that has a button "accept & continue". When I click it it shows a notification saying it can't connect to network yet everything else CAN connect to the network.
I don't really care whether the google maps works or not but I need it to work for where I do use it in the 3rd party apps.
Has anyone heard of this problem? Or has any kind of idea of what to do?

Just use "OSM" you ca download it using the F-Froid store. In my opinion google the maps ap is really crappy. OSM provides online + offline maps so you wont need a internet connection after downlaoding the maps you needs.
The app I use the most that uses maps is Waze and that has it's own map system but I do like to use other apps that use the google map service.
How would that F-Droid help? It looks like it uses some other kind of system. The other apps I use look like they call the google service.

OSM uses free "open source maps" that means O.S.M.
I can't seem to find this OSM or openstreetmap (which I see other apps referring to) on there anywhere to even try it.
Have you downloaded F-Droid app and installed it on your phone?

Oh, ok. So it works like the Xposed Framework.
Some apps are only available through this F-Droid interface itself then, correct?

You have to try it as I use another phone, but i install it always in that way no matter which phone.
I think I'll save that for a last resort
I haven't been having much luck getting things back to the way they were after I try something new.
If I can't find ANY other way to fix google's map service then I might try that.
Thanks.
Anyone else?

That means u use google's maps by choice? :crying:
I'm only using the google maps in the apps that call on google's service.
Waze it what I use most and it has it's own map system.
I want to save it as a last resort because I'm afraid of breaking anything else and not being able to get back.
Well I uninstalled the Xposed Framework and tested to see if that was what was doing it but it isn't.
So I put it back in.
Comeon! Someone has to have an idea on what could be causing it and how I can make the Google maps work right in other apps again.

Ok LS.xD, I did a little more looking at FDroid and from what I've seen it looks like it's kind of a separate market for apps.
If I were to install it would I still be able to use Play store?
And if I install it and find tha open street maps will that replace the ggogle map api service for 3rd party apps?
If it does and I eventually find a fix for the google api and decide I'd rather go back to that will uninstalling it return control back to Google?
I tried installing the gapps package for ics hoping that would overwrite whatever the problem is to no avail.
I've had over 150 views on this and no-one can give me any ideas?
What would you try if it were your device?
Hi everyone,
I've been seeing many people having issues with installing Google framework on the AL00 variant.
The fact is that Google framework is already baked in and it is just a simple update to enable it.
1. Open app gallery and change country to China
2. Search for Google play store and click update
3. After update, click on open
4. The usual setup will appear
5. Done.
After the above steps, the majority of Google services and sync, etc should all be working.
* Update - OK Google does not work out of the box.
Have a good time with your new baby ?
Cheers!

I should say Google framework instead of services. I need to test out Google assistant as I don't use it but "OK Google" might not work at all due to Hivoice.
I'll update this thread to reflect more facts.
I just used the browser to look up "Google play store" and it gave me an option to download/update it, I've never opened the app gallery and everything works fine ??
I do the same? thanks

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the suggestion above. I have legit fried my tiny brain on all aspects of getting google play to activate/update install what have you.
My location in the App Store ALREADY says China - and I am still unable to open or update the Google Play Store.
Any other suggestions? I am also unable to create a Huawei ID for the phone, it keeps saying "Restricted" and won't let me. Any work-arounds for this?
Hi, i think i am going to get the P40 pro once it is out
however, i have been using google services app for so long, the google drive, google map and google photo, google pay(and i am paying monthly too).
My most concern is i still want my photos to be automatically backup to the google photo, means that i need to get the GMS working.
Can i do so with the new P40 pro? I mean not rooting the device can i still get GMS working?
secondly, Google pay, is it already a fact that even if i can get GMS working, i still cannot use Google pay in Huawei phones?
Any body knows the touch sample rate of the phone? I see Xiaomi 10 pro has 180hz, Oppo Find x2 pro has 240hz, but P40 pro didn't mention this during the announcement.
Secondly, same thing happened to my old Huawei Mate 20 pro and Sony Xperia 1. when i move my fingers during the game (ex. pubg), my fingers have to travel long enough for it to detect movement. So during sniper time it is a nightmare. (my iphone 10 and Samsung S9+ are doing perfect in this area)
Yes Google pay will never work as the phone is not certified by Google. I have the P40 Pro in my hands.

i saw Ben's review too, but he said he has to hack the phone.

I actually have a P30 Pro, if I buy a P40 Pro and I clone all my settings to the new P40 pro, will I have the Google services?
No, You want! I did it p30 pro to P40 pro - everything was moved BUT ring tones (custome) google chrome and wallpaper
I'm sorry, but I'm not getting if it's possible or not.
Did you were able to have Google play store in the p40? Gmail? Youtube? Maps?

Huawei support told me the same, you can have couple apps, but not the whole package.

May be a Xiaomi Mi 10 pro?

My friend did it: installed Google Play Store/Services on P40 Pro. You can not clone from P30 Pro -> P40 Pro to get Google works
After cloning, will Google Pay work? That is, will the phone pass safetynet test?
I have install google gms on my p40 pro, then used phone-clone from my p30 pro. All apps except g-pay works. Maps, contacts, calendar, drive, the lot. Even my banking app and bankid on mobile.
Just not g-pay but I can live without that one ??
When I try to add a card g-pay states that I have root access or that the phone has been otherwise altered ?

Can i ask which banking apps are working for you? I am getting mine tomorrow and trying to decide if its better installing gsm first, then clone. Or the other way around
It is Norwegian bank apps.
I have tried both approach, gms then phone-clone and vice versa.
My experience is that gms on a "empty" phone works best.
Obviously, the phone fails Android SafetyNet Test. You can search in Play Store and download an app to test yours out.
update
Confirm! Updated to .114 yesterday, all Google stuff work as it did.
personally me google play music doesn't work
So, does the phone pass Android SafetyNet Test now? Can check please?
I don't know about safetynet stuff, but my Gpay is working fine.
Did 2 purchases to date, both worked on first try.
Hello, everybody.
I recently bought a P40 Pro, a phone that I am absolutely LOVING. The only minor issues that I'm having is finding reliable alternatives for a few things.
I absolutely love the device, the app gallery and Petal Search has been amazing, however I am struggling to find the following:
A free, reliable and easy to use alternative to Google Sheets.
A map app that works well and is as good as Google Maps for using as a satnav day to day.
And could somebody please teach me how to bookmark the Youtube HTTP so that I can put it on my front page?
Thanks a lot,

Hi, just got mine and so far Microsoft Office on the App Gallery has worked amazingly.
For maps I've always used Waze anyway but seen a few big names on App Gallery like Tom Tom and Here we go, which I think used to be Nokia maps.

For Google Sheets I just use Microsoft Office off of AppGallery which includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
To replace Google Maps I've been using the new TomTom AmiGo app which is also on AppGallery.
And for YouTube - open it in your Huawei browser, click on the 3 dots in the top right hand corner and click 'Add To Homescreen.'
If you don't need to sign into YouTube you could just installed YouTube Vanced through Petal Search.

I've actually started to prefer YouTube Vanced over the actual YouTube app as Vanced allows you to play videod with the screen lock on. It's especially handy if you like listening to stuff on YouTube whilst driving.
For Google Maps, just download Google Maps apk. Works fine, you just can't login. Same goes for Google Chrome. For things like Google sheets, just open using Google Chrome and then add a shortcut to your home screen. You get an app icon and loads full screen. I did this for Google Photos.

That's quite a useful tip. I don't really need to sign in to Maps so it's good to know that it's still an option on the P40 series.
