hi
I have a Huawei p40 with GMS running.
yesterday linkedin stopped working and said i must download the Chinese version which only has jobs and no network functions.
I deleted the app and reinstalled using VPN from Google play in the UK. Disabled my Chinese sim as well.
I can pick different locations on the VPN and checked on google and it says the IP address is Germany or the UK, but the linkedin app says i am still in China so cant use,.
Any idea what they are using to determine I am in China. I also turned off GPS.
Blame the CCP
Be careful as there may be social credit rating and/or criminal penalties for noncompliance
Not a pretty picture.
The last US-owned social media platform in China is closing down
LinkedIn is the last US-owned social media platform in China. Its new app, a jobs board site, will launch in late 2021 without social features for sharing articles, ideas, and opinions.

Ok so I have been wondering how many people here are using a US Windows Live ID and is currently living outside US?
My Windows Live ID (NZ) has been perma-banned recently because I took photos of my girlfriend and I touching. I have forgotten that the auto-upload was on hence all that taken photos went straight to skydrive, but that mobile uploads folder was set to private or "only me" so no one could see it. Still MS banned my account, leaving my zune and xbox profiles untouched.
I was still able to receive emails, but not send, nor share photos to facebook and twitter, and even buy apps and games from marketplace, hence that Live account is totally useless so I deactivated it. I made a new one set in the US so I could get features that I couldnt before with the NZ account, but I accidentally made a new xbox profile so I couldnt transfer my current one to the new one. Now I'm making another new US Live ID even though I live in NZ. I have asked my cousin if I could use their home address so I could put in my credit card details.
The only drawbacks I could think of using a US-based Live ID are the currency, and Local Scout. Currency conversion doesnt bother me. I have paid $11NZD for the ChevronWP7 unlock and that was $9USD. Games in NZ are usually $4.99NZD, but converting them from $2.99USD will cost around same price so its not really a problem to me. Local Scout isnt supported in NZ hence it wont work.
So the whole point of this is, how many here are actually using a US Live ID but not living inside the US?
I live in Tanzania but I am an American and have an American billing address. This morning I woke up and both my tablet and phone asked me to re-accept the play store agreement. To my wondering eyes I now have access to the US Play Store with music, TV, and everything. It is also the same way on my PC. I wasn't running a VPN or using the Market Enabler app. My IP clearly shows that I am located in Tanzania. The only thing I can think is that the Play Store is now getting my location from my billing address. Is anyone else having this same fortune?
Also I don't think they just extended the store to Tanzania because I can see even particular apps which are normally only in the US store. And other apps which aren't in the US play store I still can't see (like the VLC beta).
Shouldn't this be news or something?
Edit: My wife is not getting the same results. One difference there is that her account is a free gmail account and mine is g apps for business. Maybe that's important.
Yeah I noticed something similar too. I bought a nexus from Germany to Slovenia with a German virtual credit card and through a forwarding service.
So I guess that the store now thinks that I live in Germany. Just now I noticed that the Play Store app on all my devices started showing music, movies, books and other stuff from German Play Store.
The same on PC without VPN or proxy. It seems they removed all geolocation IP checks and now require just correct billing address and/or credit card.
Well I guess I can't complain.

I have been using my huawei mate 30 for quite sometime now and I noticed that some apps that has FCM based notifications are not showing up on my device. Furthermore, I can't receive push notifications from the bank apps on my phones when I have to authenticate a transaction using my digital token. Is there currently a workabout for these issues yet?
Thanks!
What is FCM ??
Hi, FCM is Firebase cloud Messaging service. some generation of Huawei devices (Huawei P40 series , Mate 30 pro) don't support Google services like Google Map ,FCM, etc. If you want to use your app successfully , your app providers must be integrated HMS service or 3rd party solution after that You can use related app without any problem.
I have a Huawei GT 3 and am attempting to use it in the U.S. As a result, the AppGallery and watch faces buttons do not appear in the Health app.
I have attempted to work around this issue by using a VPN and a "mock location" app to indicate that I was elsewhere when installing the AppGallery and Health apps and pairing the watch, but that did not help.
I have seen some guides in this forum mentioning the TaiChi app, but it wasn't clear from an initial cursory reading that the methods being described would address the U.S. locale issue. I would be grateful if someone could confirm that they do before I spend the time and effort installing and experimenting, or if that's not a solution, I'd very much appreciate alternative suggestions. Thanks!
To follow up on this question, I found this post ; since the issue is the Health app and not the watch per se, I thought it would be reasonable to give it a try.
It appears that China has just decided to ban temporary SMS services; none of the pages I visited showed any received messages since a few days ago, and test messages sent to those numbers did not appear. One of the sites mentioned restrictions imposed to combat bank fraud, and several others showed 0 phone numbers online. However, since the watch faces are apparently available in the UK, I decided to try a UK account registration, having verified that one of the UK temporary SMS services actually did work.
I uninstalled AppGallery, Health, and HMS Core apps, turned off the permission to use wifi and Bluetooth for location services, and disabled wifi. After rebooting, I connected (using Thunder VPN) to a UK server, set the location (using the Fake GPS Location mock location app), and installed and started the Huawei AppGallery app. When prompted for a Huawei account, I created a new one using a new PetalMail email account that was registered in the UK, using a temporary UK SMS number to receive the verification code, and proceeded to install the Health app and connect the watch.
After all that, I still do not see AppGallery and watch faces in the Health app. I'm not sure what the Health app is using to determine location, but it consistently warns each time I start it for the first time after installing it that it cannot upload my data to the cloud from my current location, even withthe VPN and mock location services running and wifi and Bluetooth location services disabled.
I have no further ideas of anything to try to make this work. Suggestions will be gratefully received. In the meantime it appears that I will just have to live with the built-in watch faces and apps. (It's a pretty nice watch even with those restrictions.)
