Any solution so far?

I have same problem with P40 Pro, Google Play just can't open. Also all gms apps after installation appears on home screen but they shouldn't(like play services, services framework, contact sync) all their icons are on home screen. This is very strange because two days before everything works perfect and today I do a factory reset and start from scratch but this problem is there. I do like 5 resets and it's same.

I was told that Google play service update will break the moded version of Google play service. On the other hand, Google play store update should be fine. Mine has the latest Google play store. But Google play service on mine is still the version that came from the installation. I disabled its update.

How do u disable updates on play services?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jakeslam78:
I disabled "Writing system settings" of Google Play Service app.

Google play store was updated without my knowledge. It was updated and is now the latest version. But that doesn't affect anything.

My phone is on 142 EMUI. Three EMUI updates after receiving it. So far none of the updates did anything against Google play store or service.

[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying Fox:
First of all, thank you very much for this great guide.

One question. All of these google services on other smartphones that run in the background use a lot of battery power.

What about this "hack". Do these modded services also run in the background and suck on the battery or do they have little or no influence on battery consumption?

Has there been a google update in the last few days? i've followed 15 different guides on youtube, all refused to sign in except 1 and finishing that guide still has many notifications popping up.

I know most of these are the same guide but i tried them all anyways incase i missed steps or was doing something stupid.

The difference seems to be the login screen after FRP bypass, the one I'm presented with seems an updated version than the one in the numerous videos ( which basically all work off the same original workaround ) . Maybe Google are re-directing browser logins to a different server now, one which rejects any Huawei devices maybe.

This is a spanish video and the pinned comment from 5hrs ago is:

READ IN ADVANCE: It seems that they are blocking the possibility of entering the Google account if it gives you an error, it is that you cannot do it. We are looking for a new method
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Dead Cell:
Just to add that earlier in the day I was able to successfully install GMS and had everything working including YouTube, Drive, Gmail and Chrome etc, however Contacts Sync was not working for my Google account so I decided to start over.

I also received an OTA Huawei OS update and since then no matter which tutorial I follow, I just cannot get past the G app stage. Instead of seeing the Activate and Allow options, I simply get an error that pops up and when I select it, the whole app closes. I cannot move beyond this stage. Tried with the WiFi off from the beginning after a hard reset, with it on from the beginning after a hard reset, with it on and off in between opening the G app etc, but nothing has worked. Calling it a day now, gonna watch some Netflix and forget about this ****, spent two days on this and very little to show for it. At least I got a decent Vodafone unlimited contract which was the main reason for buying the bundle.

I will wait for a few days to see if there is a new method, but it looks like my OnePlus 6T or Samsung A50 will have to be my main phone for emails, whatsapp, google pay, banking apps and maps, and the P40 Pro will just be a good camera to take along when the need arises! Such a shame the turd Donald Duck had to eff everything up.

Guys I had gms installed yesterday but after restart it was throwing stupid Google play store notifications... I decided to do it again and now I cannot install gms using any method. When I am in fphase to login to Google I get tons of notifications about Google protect crap. Any advice? Or just sideloading apps without Google? We need a new solid method instead of "until restart" options
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Dead Cell:
I've given up on this, no matter how many hard resets and different combinations I use, I simply cannot get past the G app error! I really don't know if it's due to the latest OS update or something else. Either way, I'm now using the phone as it is and will keep an eye on these threads for any updates.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TR4SPY:
Dead Cell it is 100% issue of 10.1.0.147 update. Some people were complaining about it as well, g app stopped working for me after that update too... The only way for now is to downgrade it by hisuite proxy. Not the case for me as I use Linux and hisuite is not working on it ?. Even if you downgrade to older update you still will have issues with Google play store complaining about certificate... In my opinion for now it is pointless and too stressful to deal with Google thiefs. I decided to stay away from Google just use app gallery and some third party stores like apk pure. Got most of the apps, only pay by nfc is not available but I hope soon will be so at the end I will be Google free.

I am sure soon they will find a new method that will for certain time again and Google will try to block it so then another method and so on...
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Dead Cell:
Hey TR4SPY,

Thanks so much for the update, dude I thought I was going crazy, but now it makes sense. Could you send me the links to where you read about this, please?

You know I am trying to use the phone as it is and have downloaded Aptoide Store, F-Droid Store and APKPure, but I still feel incomplete.

Also Brave, Opera and Firefox Focus browsers don't feel very smooth when scrolling on the P40 Pro, it's quite shaky and gives me a headache. Fortunately the full version of Firefox is very smooth and so I am using that as the main browser, never used it before, this is the first time on Android. I quite like it.

I bank with Santander, Barclays, Starling, Monzo, M&S, MBNA and Revolut and have all their apps on my OnePlus 6T and none on my P40 Pro!

WhatsApp is no good without Google Drive.

The built in Huawei Email Client doesn't auto sync emails and can only do it every 15, 30 or an hour etc and not as they come in, and not to mention that the app doesn't feel very refined and feels clunky. Can you recommend any good email clients? What about privacy concerns? If I enter my Gmail credentials will they not be able to intercept the details? I do have two factor authentication enabled for my Google account.

I'm contemplating whether or not I should send the device back and buy the OnePlus 8 Pro, but the camera is so delicious. Now I hear Xiaomi are releasing the Mi 10 Ultra which also seems very delicious but with Google support.

Do you think Google and Huawei will ever kiss and makeup?

Still I blame Huawei, they should have unlocked the bootloader for these devices and allowed the community to piss all over Google.

Cheers bud and hope it works out for you.

It is literally topic underneath this one

https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p40-pro/how-to/hisuite-proxy-p40-pro-t4122807

There was one more topic about it on xda but cannot locate it now, it was literally about same thing but more posts.

G app is old that is why on. 147 it is not working anymore.

My guess it that huawei cannot unlock bootloader because of something like idk Google watching their hands or I don't really know, might it be that they want to create own solid evo system soon.

I have got firefox nightly working nice, opera was giving me pop ups that it will not work without Google services and yet it was working ?. Email I use huawei one, get notifications after couple seconds but otherwise I would recommend fairy mail app, idk how are notifications there but I think after a lot of configuration you might get nice result.

If it comes to me I am sticking to that phone. Few days before I had Samsung s20 ultra and it got stolen from me... Anyways it was a mistake buying Samsung. ****ty phone crappy camera and got exynos cpu so battery life was terrible. Huawei is amazing if it comes to battery everything else is not a huge problem, of course I miss Google pay but we gonna get there eventually.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cris2d2:
Do you receive push notifications from certain apps when screen is locked (like Yahoo mail, other mail clients - not instant messengers)?

I've installed GMS, everything works smoothly (without GPay), I get no errors from apps, no Play Protect errors or account errors but push notifications don't show when locked, only when I open certain apps and force refresh.

Auto sync (in Settings / Users & accounts) is on for those apps accounts but it refreshes very slow, even after an hour it doesn't refresh the status for those accounts.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] enricoandreoli:
Mhh it really depends. I have no problem with IM apps and with the standard email (though the mininum refresh rate is 15 minutes...Damn Huawei..........). Facebook is working, Messenger is working, Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram. That's the only apps I need notification for. I've also received notification for Google Photo and Drive if I'm not wrong. Not sure about YouTube.

---------- Post added at 09:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------

At the moment I'm using this old-fashioned app found on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.activesofthk.synconoff

tap on the app: activate/deactivate Sync.

Someone should develop something that do this automatically every N minutes.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] cris2d2:
Mine also, IM apps are pushing fine when screen is on and off but I tried many email apps (my main email app is Yahoo Mail), even stock and GMail but none of them pushed notifications when screen was off. Even with screen on these notifications refuse to appear. Also, other apps that are not IM apps (like OLX, Ebay, Aliexpress etc.) won't push notifications with screen on or off.

I tested a few email apps from Play Store and I found that Blue Mail app sends real time push notifications for all my email accounts (Yahoo, Google, Live.com). So, email is fixed. But other apps push notifications remain an issue.

As far as I remember, when I tested my phone without GMS installed (services, framework, account etc.), these apps were sending real time push notifications without a problem. Maybe GMS interferes with something in Huawei system for certain apps, regarding this matter.

So sorry to hear about the theft of your S20 Ultra, hope you had insurance.

Thanks for the link, it looks like people are now trying to downgrade just to be able to use gapps.

I agree with what Huawei are trying to do, however they need to work harder on getting crucial banking apps into their gallery, I know it's not just down to them, but the Google fiasco has been going on for a while now.

I may give BlueMail and Fairy Mail a go and see how it pans out.

Easy to downgrade the backup app? Can you explain how? Although, doesn't make sense to me as I used the same zip file I was able to install the first time around, and now it no longer works after the .147 update.

EDIT: Eloy even mentions that the G app will not work if the phone was updated at 7:15 of that video.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bartbrat:
What worked for me, was doing a factory reset and then go to App Gallery settings to make sure it doesn't automatically update apps. Then you can uninstall the backup app and install an older version. After that, the G App worked for me.

But this was with a previous update, so don't know for sure if your problem has the same cause. I posted a link to the backup in an earlier post this thread.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Dead Cell:
Tried that already, hard reset and then skip WiFi setup and without SIM inserted so there is no internet access throughout the whole process, still doesn't work, it has to be the .147 update, it's just not compatible with it.

I hard reset by powering the device off, then holding the power and volume up button for a few seconds, and then release just the power button when I see the Huawei logo, and then give it another 10 seconds before I release the power up button. Once in the boot menu, I first wipe cache and then I select the option to reset to factory before restarting the device.

Not for me and many others on those YouTube channels.

I've given up on it, using the phone as is:

- Waze for navigation

- Aqua Mail for my Gmail

- Huawei Cloud for backing up my photos

- WhatsApp with Huawei Cloud backup

- Revolut, Monzo and Starling for banking apps

- YouTube Vanced with Google sign in.

I'm set don't really need anything else, but will give it a go if a new method becomes available, just hate the idea of it breaking and requiring more work to fix again in the future.

I still have a OnePlus 6T as a backup.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Flying Fox:
Nice, my backup ist Oneplus 6 :) .

By the way the method of the youtube tutorials just don´t work with the latest firmware(s). It´s mandatory to downgrade (via hi suite proxy). There is no way around that.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Dead Cell:
Thanks for confirming. Huawei has a lot of love if people are willing to use backup devices, says a lot.

Obviously it's mainly the camera otherwise I would have bought a OnePlus 8 Pro or even waited for OnePlus 9.

Was also considering importing the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra from China, however doesn't have the 3D face unlock and doesn't support band 20 for UK (and Europe I'm guessing). Not to mention it's also a larger device.

I didn't see if stated anywhere online but turns out you can download and install Google Apps, you just can't sign in. So I have Google Maps and Google Chrome installed on my P40 Pro and both work great. I haven't installed GMS, tried a few times but gave up in the end. Also use Google Photos a lot, and just got web app icon on homescreen which works well too and uploading photos/videos really easy. They were the 3 apps most bothered about and all sorted :)
