Huawei Mate 10 lite compatibility

Hello.
Anyone know if the Gear S3 is compatible with the Huawei Mate 10 Lite?
I searched through the forum but was unable to find an answer.
I found this post about a problem with the Mate 10 but no idea if this also happens on the Mate 10 Lite.

Also found this posts that says that is fully compatible with the Mate 10, but again, no idea about the Mate 10 Lite.

And this post. This time about Mate 10 Pro

So, I think it have a good probability of working, but it will be great if anyone can confirm this before I buy the S3.
Thanks.

Not sure if its compatible (it should be, as it a fairly new phone). But if not, there is still a workaround. My old Mate7 was not compatible (ie i couldnt download the necessary Samsung plugins from the Playstore to get the Gear S3 to pair with the Mate7). To work around this, i simply downloaded the Samsung Gear S plugin / Samsung Accessory Service plugin / Samsung Wearable app via apkmirror, installed them, and then was able to pair the phone with the Gear S3, and everything work as expected.

I had a Huawei Mate 9, and the S3 frontier works perfect.
(I've since switched to the Essential PH-1)
When I first connected it to the Mate9, I couldn't get the s-voice to work, but finally figured out that probem
was because the app I use for a VPN (adguard) was blocking access. Once I white listed the samsung app,
s-voice worked perfectly.

Ok. Thanks for the answers.
So I end up buying it and is working perfectly so far....

Does gps actually work when Bluetooth is connected?

Honor V30 / V30 Pro , Google installation capability?

I know that the Honor V30 / V30 Pro was launched and already have actual phone on display in shops in China.
I lived in USA for many years and now working in Shanghai.
Currently usinig the Honor V20 and loved it. Was planning to get the V30 Pro now, but uncertain about the capability of installing Google play store, framework and the other google apps etc.
I know that there are methods to install google and related apps onto the Huawei Mate 30 Series..... so, will the same installation methods work on the Honor V30 Pro also?
If that is the case, then I am getting the V30Pro for sure. I believe that once the phone is on sale, and more people gets their hands on the phone, the installation solution should come by in no time.
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Android Work Profile (AWP) with GMS hack

Hi All,
My company is enforcing Android Work Profile (AWP) where all work related apps and resources (Outlook, Microsoft Authenticator, Teams, OneDrive, etc) will be separated from the other apps.
With that being said, I have to install Microsoft Company Portal Application to do that. As soon as I start configuring the AWP on my Huawei Mate 30 5G, it checks for the certification of the Play Store which will definitely fail on my mobile because I have manually installed the Google Play Store although I did not get this notification before when Play Store was installed manually.
Will this AWP thing work with the hack that we use to install google play store manually?
appreciate your input

Hi, we use intune forced work profile but even with the GMS hack working, it would not complete the installation of AWP and eventually had to give up. It was the main reason I changed to a Mi 10 Ultra. Such a shame as my P40 Pro plus is, was, a beautiful phone.

for me if I go through the installation of AWP through the company portal, this apparently checks if the play store is certified or not, and then when it detects it is not certified , i start getting the certification error from the google play store and the company portal fails to complete the installation of AWP.
I am planning to move away as well from Huawei if there is no fix for this.

There will be no resolution, USA are not going to allow Huawei to access Google framework apps for sometime and now Huawei have spent so much money on their own OS, they are not going backwards. Unless Microsoft have worked with the new OS, then there is not going to anything we can do.
It is a shame these phones are superb but if you can't use GMS or unlock the bootloader, then there will not be any custom ROMs or development for them, so it's no good for me. I'm one of the people who need GMS for work like you, so with regret it was bye bye Huawei, hello Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and the super EU ROM. Full GMS and of course, a full working, see screenshot attached. Good luck my friend.

Isn't Mi 10 ultra is just for China market? How did you get the GMS installed on it?

Yes, but there is a great community who transcribe the ROMs to an EU version for all Xiaomi mi and Redmi phones. Xiaomi are great in that they encourage custom ROMs and unlocking of bootloaders ( all though it has to be done through their servers and it makes you wait 168 hours between request and unlocking).
Mi10 Ultra is lacking a couple of European LTE radio bands like band 20 which I use for O2 but I don't miss it, 3G is just as fast as 4G where I live but my 3G is still good to watch streaming services as most are now using 4G. I bought mine from Wondamobile who put a smaller version of GMS on and it works well but once you flash the EU ROM, you get official GMS. And as the USA have no issues with Xiaomi, there is not much chance of any restrictions coming to them.

Thanks! How are you satisfied with your p40 pro? I am looking to upgrade between it and the galaxy s20+ so if you could give any feedback..mostly looking at the best camera on one of those two, as far as I've seen both received plenty of updates over the last few months that made most of the reviews obsolete so

If it's not too expensive compared to the 2, go for Mate 40 pro ...

Unfortunately yes, it is. The p40 pro and s20/s20+ have a 50% discount on my carrier currently so I'm limited to those. I wouldn't take them if it weren't for the pretty good deal.

And does netflix work normally? I've read that netflix doesn't support hd resolution on the huawei devices, is that issue gone with installing google apps? Anything else not maybe not working?

It works although you may not find it in the Google Play Store. I installed mine through the Aurora store. How can you tell if it's not playing back in HD? It looks crisp and clear on my phone., not blocky or pixellated.

Upgrade phone

I own a P40 PRO with sideloaded GMS. But I´m tired of the lack of notifications vs lack of playstore and I'm thinking about selling it. I´m looking at Xiaomi 11 T. Do you think it is a downgrade? Thanks

Didn't use any other app store instead of Google Play Store ?
Aurora, for example ... or APKPure, APKMirror ...

I was on the same boat as you are and went for a s21 ultra. It was a downgrade as far as size, design, camera, battery are concerned, however I could not stand all this gms sideloading, no push notifications, no nfc payments etc..

Well, I "upgraded" for the xiaomi 11 t... After a week, I came back to P40 PRO, now without any google apps. I took this decision because the camera is incomparable and I use it a lot. I love the P40 PRO and I´ll stuck here. This is perfectly usable without GMS, in my case.
