I purchased a Mate 30 Pro that brings Google Play: Just two questions

Hi, I'm from Spain and I purschased a Mate 30 Pro 5G that comes from the UK by Ebay. The seller has told me that it comes with Google Play installed. I suppose that to have installed the Google Play app you will also have installed Google services (GMS).
He said to me: "Yes you can install any apps. Google Play Services and Google Play Store are installed on the device.
Some select apps may not function correctly, but they can be installed via apks."
Will I have any problem with the phone with some app or will the one that comes with Google Play help me make Google apps work right?
This is the list of my currently apps running on my Moto X4 and I would like to know if all these apps will works right on the Mate 30 Pro 5G:
-ABANCA (banking app)
-ABANCA PAY (banking app to pay by NFC)
-RAIN ALARM (weather app)
-AMAZON
-CHROME
-CONTACTS
-FACEBOOK
-FEDLY (read feeds)
-FILES (from Google to delete trash files, etc)
-SIMPLE GALLERY
-GMAIL
-GOOGLE APP
-INSTAGRAM
-LA VOZ DE GALICIA (local newspaper)
-GOOGLE MAPS
-MARCA (Spanish sport newspaper)
-MARINE TRAFFIC
-MESSAGES (from Android)
-MOVISTAR (my network operator/supplier)
-OUTLOOK
-PALABRE (widget for read FEDLY feeds)
-SHAZAM
-SNAPSEED (editor photo)
-TELEPHONE (from Android)
-TELEGRAM
-TIEMPO XL (weather app)
-GOOGLE TRANSLATOR
-TWITTER
-WHATSAPP
-YAHOO MAIL
-YOUTUBE
Thank you very much in advance !!!

Thank you so much for your reply @sangotrunks !!!
Sounds good your post !!
My Mate 30 Pro 5G is LIO-AN00 model number, is it a Global Version?
And last question -> Are the apps updated right in the Play Store and does the Play Protect system work on Play Store?

Hello,
The version number of my phone is LIO-AL00 its à Chinese phone without 5g.
For International you Have LIO-L29 number, i think your phone is a chinese version, one letter between my version and yours change.
The apps get updated right in GOOGLE Play store, the GOOGLE Play games works good i Have installed aptoide in renforts.
If some app won't download close GOOGLE Play store and delete data and caches then retry.
Finally you might Have some apps don't work because there is not updated for Androïd 10.

Sorry @sangotrunks !! It was a mistake by me. It's a LIO-AN00, not LIO-AL00. LIO-AN00 brings 5G network, right?

LIO - L29 (Global Version 4G)
LIO - N29 (Global Version 5G)
LIO - AL00 (Chinese Version 4G)
LIO - AN00 (Chinese Version 5G)
Chinese versions block third-party launchers. (Nova, Microsoft)
That's the only disadvantage I saw so far.

Ok, thank you @JazonX !!!
So can I use or not Outlook app from Play Store to check my work emails at LIO-AN00 version ??

Another question and sorry if I seem a bit newbie:
When I install the apps I have listed above, will I be able to restore the backup settings in my Google Drive app of the Moto X4 on the Mate 30 Pro?

Play protect

Did you use phone clone followed by chat partner all with device ID?

How can I add Google pack into this device? I used mate 30 promethod which was working perfectly with that device but in this device it won't work. It keep showing me message "this device isn’t Play Protect certified"

Hello, I also Have a Huawei Mate XS and yes, I tried to do the procedure with Chat partner APP and device ID registration, but it doesn't work. You still can't login to the play store and you receive constant google play service notifications. Unusable. I've also tried to use the procedure described in the answers to the video (using Chat partner after cloning my old Huawei P30pro) but no luck.
I resolved to use the phone without google services, using APK Pure and Aptoide for missing apps.
Still there are apps that I normally use that just don't work. So far:
- Tesla;
- Couple of games I play;
- Revolut;
- Netflix;
- Gmail;
- google maps works but you can't login to google.
All in all I'm still pretty satisfied with the phone and I'm waiting for a definitive workaround for google play store.

Google package
If you have solutions plz post it

Have you tried VMOS apk? As a limited alternative there is also an app called G-Whizz plus and Gapps browser as a temporary solution.
Yes otherwise you need third party apps stores like spk mirror, f Droid, Aurora store or app suche.vone can use internet access to GMS.
VMOS don't dismiss without tryjng

Many current Huawei phones with Kirin chipset are not fully compatible with WMOS and vice versa.

I'm trying to get used to using the device Sans Google. Trying to explore alternatives and see how to reduce Google life haha.

Wear OS Watch?

Hey guys,
I'm looking at potentially buying one of these and I can live with side loading most Google apps i need but, i've seen some info on the web that suggests due to the lack of GMS that Android Wear will not work. Can I use my Wear OS watch fully with this or, not at all?
Thanks!

Hi,
I've owned the Mate 30 Pro for all but 12 hours last week and managed to move all my apps via "Phone Clone" but remember that one of the reasons I returned it was the fact that even though I managed to have Wear OS app on the Mate 30 Pro, it wouldn't launch due to lack of Google support.

Hi,
Even if you still manage to install GMS on the phone, you will not be able to sync the Google account from phone to watch. Due to this you will have only calls,notifications and health tracking working.

Not true for the people who have GMS fully working except google pay and netflex. My fossil gen 4 is working fine, installed a bunch of paid watch faces bought on google play store on the Mate 30 pro and transferred on the watch. I had GMS installed in January this year and have no pop-up warnings.

I also don't have any issue with GMS on phone. I don't use GPay and i use the older apk for Netflix. Only issue i have is to copy the account from phone to watch. BUT... i think this applies only to Huawei Watch 2 users. I don't know for other types of watches.

I have not found a way yet of adding my Google account from my mate 30 Pro to my Android Wear watch too. Notifications work ok from other apps on the watch, so not a complete loss but 'Google' wear apps can not be installed as Wear play store and it's account does not exist on the watch.

I have the Moto 360 and works fine with my mate 30 pro

My Huawei Smartwatch 2 (2019) is working fine with WearOS

Using P40 Pro without GMS - missing specific functionalities without GMS ?

Hi folks,
I am very interested in the P40 Pro, but as many others I am concerned on what will be missing when I would try to get along without GMS.
A few things have not been covered in the many documents and videos I checked, so maybe users already well versed in the Huawei Non-GMS way can help here
- I am using a 3rd party calendar (Calengoo), would this be able to sync to Google calendar without GMS? I specifically use Google calender in sync with my family, would that be possible without GMS?
- I assume all purchases (in-app or Pro versions) are directly linked to Google Playstore, so no way around without it - or is there a way (e.g. with Yalp)?
- access to Google Drive and specifically WhatsApp backups - any luck without GMS?
- syncing of Google Contacts (continously, not just one-time) without GMS - possible?
Please accept my apologies if all this has been answered elsewhere - in that case a short pointer would be much appreciated!
Thanks for your help,
Axel

not sure if you missed my post but everything you need for alternatives is here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p40-pro/how-to/google-alternatives-live-gms-t4081351
now you can make your life easier and just install gms on your phone so you can slowly transition from being without gms so your phone function like what you expect it to be.

Dear xnostra,
Thanks for your reply and the link to your excellent guide which I (of course) have seen and read and it indeed was one of the things that helped me much in understanding have to manoeuvre around lack of GMS.
My questions in the first post are not so much around software functionalities which can be replaced,as your guide indicates!
I was wondering whether some of the syncing (Calendar and contacts specifically) can also be done without GMS, using other apps for contacts and calendar to access my Google account.
Thanks,
Axel

hi sorry to make the answer short all the things you mention will not work without gms unfortunately. thats why as you see in my previous answer i mentioned ``to make your life easier just install gms`` before you install those apps youll need to install gms otherwise they will not work as expected.

I really really want a P40 Pro and could quite happily replace most of the things I use Google for (I was iCloud anyway for a long time) The 2 biggies though that I believe cannot be properly worked around are Google photos and Google pay.
It is really frustrating as I am very disappointed with my (Exynos) S20+ and the Pixel still falls short, the P40 is overwise terrific. I am actualluy thinking of picking up another P30 pro instead but then as I uderstand there are no guarantees that google support will remain on that either?

p30 pro is not affected by the ban it will function as how its intended to from android updates google playstore and everything.
check my guide on finding alternative solution for your google apps its in the p40 guide section.
i had s20 ultra before i sold it after 5 days it was exynos and i feel scammed on it it functioned very bad compared to a snapdragon.

I thought the P30 only still worked because of an extension and that extension was not guaranteed?

I have P40 Pro for some time now and will share what I know to Your questions
-Phone Clone - moves nearly everything from my P30 pro to P40 including calendar data, call logs, contacts, sms etc. so the calendar is fine - but local!
-Purchased apps - I have several - they work (one is asking for some verification but nonintrusive ) of course No updates
-I did not try
-sure NOT
I was perfectly happy wit P30 Pro but both P40 Pro not only for camera But to try a world without GMS - It exists and works - but it's not the same - I missed Google Duo (I can install it from Amazon but can't connect), in a long term I expect some inconveniences - as I have some subscription apps and they'll expire eventually...

I think the prospect of android without the google services does actually have some appeal but I fear in real life losing things like photos, Netflix and Google pay would be frustrating.

Google Play Services + Android Auto +Autofill + apps related to google location= error

Hi,
On my Mate 30 Pro (4G) Lio-L29 C432 I cannot have in the same time Android Auto and Autofill with Google or apps related to google locations.
I can install Google services (Googlefier or other method) and Autofill with google works (I can see my passwords).
If I install Android Auto (old version), to run it needs the last version of Android Auto, and it makes update to the last one.
The last version of Android Auto needs the last version of Google Play Services.
The last version of Google Play Services blocks the Autofill with Google. Even it works, after restart I can not access the Passwords (error message:Unavailable because the device is offline).
If I block the Google Services Framework, the Android Auto and Autofill work but apps related to google locations doesn't work anymore.
Doesn`t matter the EMUI, it has the same error (EMUI 10.0 or 10.1 or 11)
Do you have any solution?
On my phone there are now:
-EMUi11.0 .0.175(C432E7R7P4)
- Android Auto v.6.1.610544
-Google Play Services 21.02.14
