I'm really interested in this phone but should I wait for the EU version or buy the version they are selling in china
It seems ok frequency wise - https://www.frequencycheck.com/comp...-dual-sim-td-lte-64gb-nxt-al10/united-kingdom
I've seen people pick international English on a menu and it looked all English - is that correct ? - even the non google stuff
Would I have to worry about anything else ?
Any help most appreciated as I want to replace my one plus one that is starting to feel under powered with the amount of tasker stuff I'm running on it
thanks

You do need to check the frequencies as you have done. The Mate 8 has allot of bands covered.
Android OS on Huawei's phones have about every language available. There is some apps on the phone that is in Chinese, but they can be removed, and are for the china market.
Google Apps will not be preloaded, but you will need to download from the Huawei App Store called HiApp. That HiApp app is in mixed Chinese and English, so not everything is translated. After that you have Google Apps, and can download from Google Play that will follow your OS language.
I have had the Honor 6, Honor 6 Plus, Honor 7 and now Mate S, all the Chinese version and they have all been working fine here in Denmark. I have had no problems with network, GPS or WiFi here or on vacation. .
..oh, the change log for OS updates are (mostly) in Chinese

Thanks for the info. But to be clear. Do you download the google playstore using HiApp?

Yes, you do.
It is quite simple: Open HiApp -> Search "Google" -> Click on the Google banner in the top of the search results -> All Google apps is listed, click the download button for each (downwards arrow).
Other than Google Play, you need the Contact sync and Calander sync apps from the list. The rest can be downloaded from Google Play Store afterwords.
I had no troubles with a P8max recently, most sellers out of China will pre-install Google Play for you. My Mate 8 arrives next Monday, can let you know of if it differs any from the P8Max in terms of language difficulties.
Hi,
I bought a Mate 8.
It come with google playstore installed.
I arrived to install all app I want from google playstore.
The only problem I foun, I can't import my contact list, but will be solve for sure.
Two of us have Google contacts sync working, although neither of us is entirely sure how (I was granting permissions/trusted status/open from other apps statuses etc as a batch, so not sure which of those actions allowed for contacts import sorry).
If your google contact can't not sync.
Do you install the google contact sync? you can find it from the "huawei app store".
Install the google contact sync apk, and remove your account, reboot, login your contact again.
It works fine in my mate8 with google contact.
I can use almost all of google service in mate 8 now. (no matter google play, gmail, hangout, contact or anyother)
But, the only problem is that I can't get the location during google map without GPS enable.
Google map can't use cell or wifi to detect where it is, but it work fine with GPS enable.
I have no idea that how to fix it...
After searching the solution from google, it seems I need to root and replace networklocation.apk....
Is there any other method? (I don't know how to root huawei's device...)
I've recieved my mate 8 a week ago, and have had the issues that most of you are talking about.
Assuming the issue is from the battery manager itself; click on the setting icon up left of the screen, you need to switch on (Keep mobile data on when sleeping).
Of course that is in congunction with the rest of the settings/permissions.
Good luck,
Just don't forget to update emui

is it fast and smooth? is the cpu very powerful?
Yes - not had any problems at all.
I'm coming from a one plus one with a few badly writtern tasker profiles (quiet at work, and home nights with auto voice and autovera stuff), 3 mail clients including a touchdown exchange one. It was too much for the one plus but my new mate 8 is still flying.
Problems I have/had
The sync thing - was mashmellow permissions and a restart. (You do not need to wipe and restart.
The app draw - not a problem just a concept change the mate 8 doesn't have one your home screens are your app draw. So its a case of being tidy with folders. But swiping up on the home screen gives you an app search.
Dictionary - wish I could figure out how to copy the words I had stored in my dictionary.
Chinese App store - keeps telling me I have 18 apps that need updating - they don't the are just wanting to change to the chinese version.
Battery life - the one plus would last a day and 1/2 if I forgot to charge it the 1/2 I would start not usjng it, mate 8 will nearly last 2 days (it also gives me stats in ma about what is eating the battery)
Overall its a great phone

I've received my mate 8 one week ago... And unfortunately I had a rare problem with my notifications (whatsapp, viber, and other apps).
I did trust those apps from the system, and followed the instructions from the huawei guide, but the problem still.
So anybody have any idea how to solve this problem.
Thanks
Hi, i want to buy a Mate 8 but I'm not sure for the sync problem for google. what type of problem you have?
it is a great phone but unfortuantely I have the same problem with the google sync as well as not getting any notifications. Please help!
didnt someone mention that putting the phone into performance mode solved this?
Tried it hasn't worked for me
Location Services are not working unless you activate GPS - AL10 model;
Any solutions?
yeah, several other users already reported that energy-saving location services somehow dont seem to work...unless u switch to high-performance mode @gps
Hey guys, I am trying to login to Huawei services and I always get the message "due to service location restrictions the system is unable to provide services to you".
Does anyone knows how to bypass that?

I have the same issue. How do you solve it?
Anyone else?
I don't use Huawei's solution. However, if you got GMS installed just use Android Device Manager from the play store.
My advice - don't use 'Find my phone' function if you have Chinese AL00 and live outside China. It has configured to servers in China.
Hi everybody,
I have a huawei mate 9 dual sim, the Hicare application has been updated and I can not access my huawei login anymore, I no longer have access to the theme store .....
I tried everything, delete the data from the application, but nothing works, when I use my email address I'm asked my phone number, but my country is not listed on the proposed choices ..... Please excuse my bad english, i use google translation.
Thanks for your help.
Get contact with local Customer Service Center of Huawei, please.
ive had the same issues with a huawei id since i updated to oreo. It just wont let me log and gives me errors. Ive ended up deleting the id as its pissing me off. Since updating to oreo im getting a few niggly annoying issues which is making me look around for another phone.

I have posted it in an other thread but here is a solution, I hope it will work for you too: "So it looks like I have found a solution on an other forum:
You need to go to Settings - Apps - Huawei Mobile Services and on top right tap on the three dots and go for the "uninstall updates". Worked for me after that, let's hope it will work for you too!"
I assume Google's Find My Device app will not work on the Mate 30 Pro (unless USA ban against Huawei gets lifted).
I also can't find an app like it in AppGallery.
So, does anyone have a recommendation that would help me if I misplace my phone or it gets stolen?

If you have installed Google services, "find my device" from Google will work right.
If not, in device's settings of your Huawei Account you have an option in the synchronization of the Cloud where there is a Huawei app also called "find my device".
Thanks, I tried it out, and it worked perfectly.
I had disabled Cloud cause it was asking me for
a chat ID when I first got the phone...I didn't see
any purpose until now.

It is true that if you have google the app finds my device it will work but not perfectly because if you try to make it ring once you are logged in it does not work you will find the device but the notification that it is hooked to the phone does not appear.
On second thought, I am still open to other apps. The problem I have is that I usually keep location services off
to save power (so my Cloud ping today only gave me the location it knew of way back on April 24, but that is
to be expected I guess). It would be nice if the phone kind of registered itself on its own every so often, even
with just my IP address in case no location updates were made, but of course that uses power too...so maybe
I'll just start keeping location services on.
I am also looking for a best huawei device finder app.
Hi. I have a Tesla Model Y and would like to switch from iPhone 13 Pro Max to Mate X3. But I wasn't sure installing Tesla app through GSpace would work.
Today I had a chance to install Tesla app on my friends old P40 but after trying to log in, the app wouldn't let me in. The credentials was correct but it just didn't work.
Is there anybody have a Tesla and using Tesla app on HarmonyOS or EMUI? Can you please help me sort out the problem? Thanks
Forget about it. No google services not 100% functional. Like 20% functional just for you to enter credentials and that's a no no. Stay away from google service dependent apps. Logging from gspace is also not recommended. The only way to actually do something is refer to Huawei directly or find similar users that face the same problem and ask directly Huawei to help you.
