Playstore and notifications were working for a while

OK Everything was normal for about 10 hours then I got notification that my device was not play protect certified.

Not the end of the world though with the other stores available. And I did get the apps I needed installed from the playstore.

I'll deal with the updates to them another time.

Strange, but a positive result I have followed the steps detailed to install icebox and now I have playstore and notifications working.

After following the steps below I had to enable GSF as Push notification registration was not working.

Which allowed my micrsoft authenticator app to register an account via a QR code.

But opening playstore worked fine and I was able to install apps from the playstore I'm not getting any playstore error notifications and I didn't hide them.

But I did use the QSM Login Method instructions that I found on page 5 of the New method to install Google Mobile Services on Huawei P40 and other phones thread. (Sorry cannot post urls) as I couldn't get the main method to work.

I'm using a P40 Pro Plus.

How exactly can these google play protect notifications be turned off?

I searched the settings and notifications section and can't find how to turn these play protect notifications off. Somebody wrote to go to Notification settings and disable the 'Play protect channel' of 'Google Mobile Services' but I can't find 'Google Mobile Services' anywhere in the Notification settings section :(

Any guidance would be extremely helpful.

So...

Is there any hope to find a way to have both play store and gms notification?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] rasik80:
I don't think it will ever be possible. Sorry.

i don't have any issues with unfrozen GSF, working playstore, notifications working, just using FIX Notification GMS On Huawei P40 Series /Mate 30 Pro Series [Method 2], GPS working
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sheikgr:
When the notification pop up just pull down the notification bar and swipe left on the notification. Then press the gear icon and select more settings, it will get you to the play protect notification which you will turn off. Another way of doing this is going to settings-apps-apps-then select 3 dots on the right and choose show system processes. Find Google play services and scroll until the end to find the play protect notification channel and disable it

That's wrong, I have everything working, see previous posts on this thread.

For anyone trying to attempt this and unfreeze GSF. This is my experience: While GPS, push and play store works, you will receive error messages from gmail/maps that the device is not certified or that it needs google play services to work correctly.

By the way, I got all my apps pushing by freezing GSF using ice box except Gmail. For some reason that application just refuses to push for new email. I switched to outlook for now which seems to work fine with Gmail accounts including push.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] vandal4e:
when i click OK after that error on maps, they work absolutely fine with my profile's timeline, i removed all the error notifications immediately and don't have any " no working " issues, tho i don't use gmail app

After freeze gsf, can we unfreeze easily and get into appstore? I meant switch between both state conveniently

TransferWise app

Hi all, I was trying to find an answer but could not find it anywhere, so here is my question: does TransferWise app work on Huawei P40 Pro? Thanks.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] 5TARKAN:
I am using Transferwise on my P40 (ANA-NX9).

It only works if you have managed to get a proper GMS installation with no errors from google play services

After freeze GSF install aurora store, and from it download applications, (services like photo sync, play games, android wear,youtube premium with sync still work after freezing the application GSF) push notifications work.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] addx972:
Aurorra store is dead
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jericho246:
yes for me it seems to be dead too. What's going on?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] addx972:
I don't know at all but now I don't know what to take as a store
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] banditjackpotty:
Did anyone else have success with this method and googlefier app?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] osik12:
nope it dont work, maps also dont work and some applications from the store can't install with this method. I went back to freeze+aurore store.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] BoSelecta:
Great thread and very informative, I just went through the process and could not fathom why I was not getting all my notification (as I was on my P20 Pro). Now have a better understanding, would like to add that Ring is another application which does not work under the current set up.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
Thanks SO SO much! Per your guide, I can get notifications from eufy security. The notification comes back for both eufyCam and doorbell. I think this should work with ring and other kind of camera security system. I don't use twitter, FB very often, but will test if it works. Appreciate bro!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
Hey, what do you mean the method for p30 pro? I have a mate 30 pro, want to have a check!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] bartbrat:
Thanks! Two questions about the tutorial quoted a few posts back:

- There seem to be mixed messages about GPS working or not after freezing Google Framework. Anyone that could clear this up? I would like to make notifications work but don't want to sacrifice location in Google maps.

- The link to the files is down. Anyone that has a new link?

Thanks a lot!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
My Map works at home but hasn't been tested thoroughly outside.

If you get gms installed, all you need is ice box for step2. You can download it elsewhere.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
The problem (big) with that method is that GPS still works but its accuracy/precision is always awful, really awful. Practically unusable in serious circumstance. At least in my old tries.

I don't know if things are changed now, but i highly doubt it.

Now i prefer a more simple stock hms configuration with only Micro G installed to have GMS based notifications.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] bartbrat:
Okay, thank you both for your response! In that case I'll leave my setup like this. :)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] 2thelimit:
Please how you did it? Can you give me the exactly link how you did solve the notification? You mean you have notifications from whatsapp, facebook, messenger and mai(bluemail or whatever just a mail wich works)?? And you have location working also? Google maps from aurora works? thank you
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
If you have problems with last version of Maps, try 10.49.3.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
I simply installed the microg apk and then all the app that i want to have notifications. If apps are already installed, uninstall them and install them again, very important.

In this way you have all notifications and location working.

Never used Gmaps on Huawei without PlayServices, i think there so many alternatives luckly.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] 2thelimit:
I discovered that my problem is other. I installed even microg but the problem is that some doze or huaweigenie is killing my apps in the background. I tested this with microg. I left my p40pro on the table not using facebook(just a example) after 1 hour i used another phone to comment on my page. No notification but when i looked into microg/ cloud messaging on that aplication was saying that last message: 1 minute ago. So microg is working but if the application is closed in background offcourse there will be no notification. The problem is that stupid huawei software is killing background applications even if i set from app launch that app in manually with all 3 lines allowed and even in battery optimizations not allowed still he does what he wants. I wish i had never bought this stupid phone. 2 weeks day and night now trying to fix this. I just want to smash it honestly. I know samsung is inferior to specs but i never ever had this problems...
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
Weird, never had this kind of problem.

man wht version of whatsapp do you have and what firmware because i have notification problems with whatsapp,facebook and mail with or without gms :((
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
What versions I have:

- 2.20.207.5 for WhatsApp.

- 299.0.0.51.236 for Facebook.

- 6.16.1 for Yahoo mail.

No problem here ...

GMS installed before Googlefier, with Ross method.

If you install GMS with Googlefier (the only way for now), you must freeze Framework, to be able to receive notification. Play store will stop function, but you can use other store for upgrade (Aurora, Petal search, etc).
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Seresseran1:
What is the Ross Method?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
An old method posted on YouTube by Redskull, if I'm not wrong ... unavailable now.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Leuk0cyte:
Hi, guys.

I first install gms, without any error notifications, but when I try to disable the com.google.android.gsf by using Huawei multi-tool, and activate the Google Services Frame in order to receive gcm notifications, after reboot, I received google protect error notifications again. That causes me cannot use Google map, but others are working fine.

So, I can receive gcm notifications and use google play store, but because the protect error notifications I cannot use Google map and I cannot login through Google account in apps like facebook. Also, I manually disable the play protect notification channel, so that I won't receive any error notifactions. That's the best way I currently found, if you have a better way, plz let me know. Thank you.

btw, I am using a Chinese version of p40pro (ELS-AN00) EMUI 11.0.0.156(C00E150R6P6)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
I've got gms on my device, but according to the push notification tester push was failing.

I decided to try icebox to see if I could fix that, as soon as I put icebox on I started getting notifications about my decide not being play protect certified.

I followed the guides to fix the error on ictfix.net but it doesn't fix it, I can stop the alerts tho using icebox and push notification tester says all is working but.. All isn't working, I'm still not getting push notifications. I get success from the tester and the test notification but none from my apps, I've disabled powersaving but it makes no difference. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
Ive gone through this process, and whilst the push notification tester shows all is working, i dont get push notifications from any apps other than the "big" ones - ie facebook, whatsapp etc.. (gmail doesnt auto sync although im guessing thats a side issue)

I also seem to find that when i freeze gsf and unfreeze i start getting the play protect errors and have to step through the fix process.

Any thoughts?

Cheers
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
A new method to install gms is using dualspace. Very easy and can get notification. However, not sure it's safe or not to use this method. If someone have try it please let me know your thoughts.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
I installed gmail and eufy to test, will update!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
I tried that but was unsuccessful - couldn't even get the play store to load, let me know how you get on!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
Use DualSpace 3.2.7 or Gspace (a moded DualSpace).

After you start the application (one of them), it shows you for a few seconds that you have to click on the Google store. Click for installation, then log in to the Store.

The application must be kept active.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
Thanks, i'll give it another go see what happens.

If it works properly, does it do push notifications that are visible on the phone like normal?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
I didn't try any app with push ...

I installed Maps, wich work with errors.

Even the apps (DS or GS) work with errors sometimes (Mate40 pro, on P40 pro didn't try yet).
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
Does anyone else have a virus application warning when installing GSpace posted above ??

So far I have not had any problems with it, I tried to install it now (again) and it appears to be infected ...
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
We need to know if push works like in normal way on Gmail ,etc..

Maps works with errors, which errors? It's usable?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Phil-BKK:
Ive downgraded to 10.1.0.131 to facilitate the GMS install. This was mostly successful accept for the "play protect" messages

How do i get back onto the full OTA automated path to EMUI 11?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
Just follow the upgrades from software updates should be fine afaik
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
In DualSpace, Maps is not usable.

About the others, you can install them and try them out.

I'm not using Gmail as a stand-alone application, I'm using Yahoo mail with both mail boxes, Yahoo and Gmail. To test, I need to uninstall the applications from the normal system and test them in the DualSpace ... too much trouble now.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
I installed DS but don't have antivirus app installed, so not sure it has warnings
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
I found this method from youtube and I installed DS shared by him. No specical installing instructions are there. I notice that to get notification, must keep the app running at background always. So there may be some batterry concerns. Anyway, what kind of app do you want me to have a try. I will install some of them. Thanks!
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] crotoc:
My google map problem is that when navigating it cannot be cancelled and back to map's home page. Location is alright.

gmail notification seems broken because when I tried to manage notification in the app, it shows some app can not be found. Does somebody know what's missing? google account?

Don't know the reason. Icebox works for me. mate 30 pro
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
Hi @crotoc

I have a Chinese Mate 30 Pro 5G with Google Services running nice. The issue is, I am not getting push notifications for anything. Is there a method other than hibernating the Google Services Framework with Icebox, and that may have notifications?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
Not that I have come accross... And if you hibernate you will lose some other stuff such as Google location services.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
Yes I know. The Play Store and Google location services are lost. So I would like to know if there is any method to get the push notifications without having to hibernate the services framework. Is there nothing currently alternative?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
As I say I haven't found anything, I don't think it's possible it's one or the other it seems.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
And if the issue of the failure at the notifications push is the "Google Services Framework" file, which must be hibernated ... Could some component of that file be modified to get the notifications without losing the Play Store or the services location?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
I'm sure it could be patched but not something I know how to do. You would need to stop it doing its checkin but keep the service running somehow. You have given me a couple of ideas however. 😁😁
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
Really ?? Could you show us later what kind of ideas ?? 👏 👏
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
I was just wondering if the reason the errors appear are due to a connection to google somwehere, but dont think thats the case. :(
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] mumse1:
Iam on a P40 Pro with EMUI 11 and i am considering to freeze my GSF..

Just a few questions first...

Do system need to be clean (fresh from a reset) or can one do it with all the app that i have installed?

When i got my p40 pro i used phone clone and was trying to manage without google and quite a few of my apps did complian that they need Google play services to function properly...how will they be affected by having the GSF frozen?

Will to problems come backor will they be fine?

Really would like to get push-notifications working but maybe not to the cost of having many apps not working...
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] addx972:
1 for frozen no need reset

2 your current applications will work normally even except maybe some application that requires a rental (for me everything is fine)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] mumse1:
Thanks for clearing that up 👍

Another question that came to mind is that according to guide to freeze GSF you should remove your Google account...

Is it then possible to add it back to the phone when icebox is installed and GSF is frozen?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] addx972:
on the guide you must not remove your google account but just the G application and the account app it does not delete the installed account so it will just freeze the GFS

attention you will not be able to unfreeze if you do so you will get error messages so it will have to be frozen again
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] luisvalino:
Check this link, please -> https://xdaforums.com/t/how-to-get-notification-without-freezing-gsf.4213065/
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] mumse1:
Thanks for all the help. Gsf in now frozen and push notifications work great (some of my apps needed to be reinstalled for it to work)

My Gmail app notifying me i a sec. after a new mail is recived..

Ill even got the Google app installed again and it seems to work normal..(just use it as default search app in nova luncher).

This must be the best way to get a desent working Google installation on this phone. 👍

I do however have a little problem with Aurora store..

Sometimes when i want to install an app and hit the download button it starts queue the download and after about a sec just stop (download button appears again). Only way to fix this seems to be to force stop + clear cach and data. After that it will download 1-2 apps and then its back to square one again..

Is this a known bug or do i need to change some settings?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] addx972:

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Project_Mayhem:
After installing gs via googlefier, services were working great. With icebox notifications as well.

After going through the various updates (to 11.0.0.176) I unfroze to get back to gstore.

Once I do that I get pop-ups :"This device isn't Play Protect certified : Google apps and services can't run on this device".

gstore is working regardless of the error messages.

Re-froze and everything back to normal.

The only workaround I found was Aurora.

Is that just me ? / is there a better solution ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
That's as good as it gets... Freeze gsf and everything works bar the play store. Unfreeze to do updates or installs if you don't wanna use aurora then have to freeze again.

Hello,

I've defrosted only a couple days ago and GS was working like usual.

Whereas today, right after defrosting, GS updated itself and guess what ? Whenever I open GS "This device isn't Play Protect certified". I freeze and everything back (no annoying pop ups etc)

The thing is that now, no matter what GS is no longer accessible. Any ideas ?

Thanks
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] carbonmanx:
I get this now too, you just have to smash into the store as quick as possible.. Once you are on there is OK but I had to re freeze and unfreeze a couple of times before I got in to update etc...
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Project_Mayhem:
So you're saying that I should defrost/unfreeze a couple of times and hopefully it will work (as it was before).

Once I can get to the google store, do you have any ideas upon what should I do to prevent it from happening again ?

Thank you !!!
