This is interesting, I have microg installed already for youtube vanced. I did this after first trying amazon photos and it did make any difference.

bit hard to help you if you dont provide much information ...
did you install amazon photos after you installed microG?
did you copy the above steps .. or do a youtube vanced microG installation?
have you installed microG core, microG framework, microG fakestore? are you connected to GCM in the microG app?

I installed amazon photos day one and it did not work. I then installed microg purely to get youtube vanced working and this did not change amazon photos at all. I only did the Youtube vanced instructions so only microG not the others.

ok .. then ...
1. uninstall amazon photos
2. install microG as per other thread (the x3 components) and dial the *#*#etc number if needed to connect
3. install amazon photos
amazon photos is stable and does not crash (with prime for slideshow etc).

HMS Top Apps...?

I myself have just purchased a Huawei P40 Pro or shall I say have upgraded from a Huawei P30 and given the huge differences between the devices both being hardware and software, when I look at my P30 and the Google Services I only ever noticed I used Google Maps (rare occasion) YouTube & Google Photos.
I have now been using the P40 Pro for a little over a week now and noticed my workarounds being Here We Go (haven't used just yet / Any tips will be appreciated), YouTube workaround is YouTube Vanced and Huawei Photo.
Are there any other suggestions out there for HMS apps but equally how has everyone found the new experience??

I have found that the assistant isn't too bad for something that seems to be in its infancy. Does all the basic stuff very well so far.

It has taken a little while to get everything set up and working (or found an alternative) but I think I'm nearly there... I don't think the newer devices are for the layman just yet, but instead for a tech enthusiast who appreciates the hardware and understands how Android works.

Question Camera App with no Samsung phone

Hi there,
I've seen there is a camera remote app preinstalled on the watch if you use a Samsung phone. But when using my OnePlus 7t pro the app isn't there.
My old Oppo watch had a remote shutter using a android wear app from Google but I can't find it. Google camera from the Playstore doesn't work.

Question Poco X4 pro 5g EEA ROM stock, VR not working in browser.

Here's the deal. The second out of the box brand new Poco X4 pro 5g with EEA stock ROM is in my hands atm, there is a serious problem with this ROM. It's the newest MIUI 13.0.8 stable for EEA region. VR is simply broken, the Chrome browser VR functionality simply doesn't work (no video source found error, upon trying to play a video) as well as Google Cardboard app seems to be not connected in any way to other apps that could launch it, despite it being installed. VR services are installed too. Now I'm guessing it's the ROM in particular, because the Poco X3 Global ROM also based on Android 11 runs this without a problem.
Activity Launcher app found all VR items in the system but all are locked out and launching any of them results in a Java applet error. Launching "VR settings" returns an error about "lacking features to launch".
Any idea what am I facing? Vr videos blocked because of underpowered Snapdragon 695? I doubt it, as my old Redmi Note 7 pro runs VR without issues. Any help would be appreciated. I can provide more info if needed. Ask away.

I just wanted to let you know I am facing identical problems. My Poco X4 Pro 5g has the same issue with VR. I found that Youtube VR does work, but in other places I just get a fully black video with audio playing (head tracking, the on screen menu and controls do work). After installing the Google Cardboard apps still indicate I should install google cardboard.
I had this right out of the box, just installing all available updates.
I've tried changing the screen refresh rate, switching between "When device is in VR" reduce blur to reduce flicker and from buttons to the full screen display. None of it works.
I'm on MIUI Global 13.0.9 Stable 13.0.9.0(RKCEUXM)
Android: 11 RKQ1.211001.001
Model: 2201116PG

Hi, I observed same issues. With chrome I've got the no video source error and with firefox it was the black video with only playing audio. All other controls worked fine.
What I tried so far:
- installed google ar services(I have read somewere that they are necessary for WebXR) but am not sure that they are running.
- changed refresh rates from 60 to 120hz.
- installed more browsers, but most of them have the "no video source" issue.
- Enabled VR Helper in Settings
- Reinstalled Google VR Services and Cardboard App
I compared with another phone were it is working with same chrome version. I tried to reproduce it but and uninstalled cardboard and also vr services. With uninstalled cardboard it still keeps going. With uninstalled VR Services it shows the 360 view of the video but as I try to switch to vr mode chrome ask me to install VR Services.
Another thing is also strange. The old phone asked me for permission to use VR services but the new one does not. (Permission is enabled as "ask for it")
But, it feels like that there is something missing. Any, library or connection to cardboard api.
I have a Redmi 11 pro 5g and with no custom roms or similar currently.
