Netflix should work but you're gonna get crap, non-HD quality because of Widevine L3 DRM. So I wouldn't bother with Netflix on this phone.

Google Pay - haven't tested so I can't tell if it works, but probably not.

Banking apps - some work, some don't. Better do research whether your banking app works on this phone. I got lucky and mine works even without GMS.

Overall, I don't think installing GMS on P40 is worth it. Mainly because of notification issues - you don't get notifications for many apps. Recently I decided to "freeze" Google Services Framework to get my notifications back. If I ever feel like going back to GMS, I'll just unfreeze it without having to reinstall.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ptfuzi:
Authenticator works. Calendar notifications works.

Gmail notifications doesn't work for me.

All the banking apps I use are working.

Uber is working even with frozen Gsf.

Maps work, but the first time after a restart it takes a bit longer to detect location.

Does the freeze help better with the majority if not all of the notifications? The main app I need is Pushover and I can't get ANY notifications on it without loading the app, everything else has worked fine for what I need it for

Is there a definitive list of what does and what does not work on the P40 Pro especially interested in banking apps for the UK. I've used a P30 Pro since launch day but currently on a iPhone 11 Pro Max but desperately want to switch back to Android and the P40 Po. Can it be used daily without GSM in the UK?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Kicks.ovh:
Which banking app in particular are you interest in as I am from the uk also? I personally haven't had issues with my Monzo banking or the majority of the apps as I get notifications on whatsapp and fb messenger but there are some without working notifications without gms enabled
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] potsykate:
I mainly use Nationwide Santander Barclaycard and Tesco Club card. Is there any contact less payment options as well with the P40?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] potsykate:
How are you finding using the P40 on a daily basis, would you recommend it and what are the pitfalls? I can pick one up for around £450 and it's so tempting to give it a go.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] MixEvo:
tbh the only apps im missing is messages (rcs chat isn't missed till you dont have it haha), and photos. if notifications and chat worked for messages id probably attempt to download gms for that alone
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ptfuzi:
For messages the notifications are working, rcs not even after installing Google carrier services.

But the main issue o had was contacts stopped showing there, and sometimes it just showed the numbers, no names

I do not care about Gmail since I connected mail and calendar via Outlook.

Notification works for most type of massages but in my case not for banking apps

I did not test GooglePay

NFC payment works for Santander app but not for ING app

Generally in my case I', very glad fo have GMS back mainly because of AndroidAuto and Google Home and Spotify which can stream to my audio devices with chromecast build in. Those things I missed a lot and therefore decided to downgrade fro 147 do 131, install GMS and upgrade back to 147. So far all works with some issuses (notifications + no NFC in ING app)
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kalabilla:
how did you manage with to work with google home, it keep asking me to add new account, and how you chromecast youtube to your TV?
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jjaagg:
I did not cast from YT, but I can check if it works.

I cast music from spotify to:

- google chromecast audio

- polk magnifi soundbar

- 2x JBL Link 20 paired in stereo

which were already set up in Google Home on my P20 before I installed GMS on P40 pro.

In first approach after installation of GMS I used phone clone to move apps and it did not work. In Spotify there was no device to which I could cast.

I wiped the phone and in second approach I installed all apps from play store. First Spotify and in Spotify I could immediatelly see my devices. After that I installed Google Home and and I could see all my setings without any problem.

In first approach I used tutorial in spanish - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utQ9q7pCGEM&feature=youtu.be

In second approach I used other tutorial which in my opinion is more structured and clear - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTIZFehwlw

Both methods works for me.

I also installed Google Family Link and Adobe scan and it also works.
[Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] lazerbourne:
Been using P40 Pro with GMS and frozen GSF for over 2 weeks now. Everything works, all notifications, all apps (about 250) that I had in my previous Samsung phone work fine. All bank apps, payment apps and bank id (those that we use here in Sweden), smart home apps, news apps, social media apps, Google photos, You Tube Vanced all work fine. Had to re-pair my smartwatch (Wear OS) with the P40 Pro without reset (search here on XDA for the procedure). Now it works fine too. All notifications, videos and interactions on the watch work fine. The only apps I didn't get to work - Google Pay, Samsung Pay (of course :)).

First step ,unlock bootloader.

Open settings

Swipe down and tap on About Phone

Keep tapping on the build number for 5 times

You will get a message saying developer option is enabled

Open settings

Tap on developer option

Toggle on USB debugging and OEM unlocking by tapping on the toggle button

So open this link,register,click unlock bootloader

and follow instructions --->https://www.htcdev.com/S=7ae0bb4851fa60bc124b1e953ffd897317c9de6e/

thank you, I have figured out unlocking the bootloader and twrp or the other one, however, when i go to install viper it tells me I have a production model and It wont work. Any ideas? I have been a viper fan for a lot of years and I was really looking forward to trying their newest for this device.

Many of you may not know me but I released a few roms for the HD2 and a couple samsung ports, I have also some AICP experience in building roms. I would like to tell you all something amazing is coming to the root community, a totally different approach, more will be revealed, I currently have 7 different phones that the head of development supplied me with and this will be epic, I also know that I am capable of learning and this place is for asking questions and helping others, just because I have released a few roms, I am no better than any of you, just another Software Junkie!

I installed recovery and tried to flash the pyranha rom, soon as I rebooted it went into a bootloop and it has been there for 2 days, I have had this issue before, but before when I did the button sequence it let me into bootloader mode, now it only reboots to exclamation and warning then to HTC and when I push power and wait for screen to shut off then push down it just reboots again, it wont go into bootloader, is it possible I erased that ? I cant figure it out. until I do, I am stuck not building anything for this device, these buttons are absolute garbage, I wont buy another phone like this again,
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] fabrizio b92:
wait for the battery to discharge

Can you show bootloader or downloder mode?

press and hold on/off key,when you feel vibrate immidiately release on/off key and hold volume down.

If reboot again, release and hold volume down again
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jhr5474:
Issue is that it just constantly reboots, I have had it do this before but it let me button press into bootloader mode. This time I have tried the button combination 1000 times and it doesn't work. Another issue is when it discharges as soon as you plug it in it starts bootlooping. It doesn't stay off and let you boot it into anything.

I wait for htc to show and I hold down power, I hold power until screen goes black and then when I feel the vibration I release power and push volume down that is what worked before when I had to restore screw-up, this time it acts like it doesn't know the button sequence. I bought brand new unlocked off ebay so htc won't warranty it at all, they say since it was bought on eBay you have to go through eBay the manufacturer warranty is void if you buy from eBay. I get that the warranty won't work anyways because I unlocked bootloader but I had to try.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashutoshb007:
Hello guys i ran through an issue and need help.

I own redmi k20 pro (indian version)

So,

I unlocked my boot loader(it was on miui 11.0.6 of indian version)

Used mi flash tool to flash global version rom of k20 pro of miui 11 (i ticked the flash and lock)

Updated it to miui 12 from ota

Got some bugs so again unlocked the bootloader

Now when i try to flash indian version rom to the Device it says mismatch image and device though my bootloader is unlocked .

Curiously it didn't said that when i flashed global version rom of k20 pro.

So i again waited to get the latest miui 12 fastboot rom of indian version to not to get tangled with anti roll back error. still no help because it still says mismatch error even when the indian rom is of version 12.0.2 .

Help me guys.

Why not completely erase everything on the phone before re-flashing, will say erase and/or format all it's partitions?

Example:

fastboot format recovery
fastboot flash-all <NEW-ROM-IMAGE>
fastboot reboot

[Magisk] AvijitBis:
So, recently i bought a ipega pg 9078 gamepad just to play call of duty mobile. The reason i bought it because it was cheap ($20) and i didn't want to invest much for Android gaming. But after i brought it home it didn't connect with codm as codm only supports ps4 and Xbox one controller.

Then, I told the developers of codm to add a wide range of controller support in the future update of the game on their official forum , but they told me to stick up with the native touch controls.

The reason i want a gamepad to play codm because it brings the game to a whole new level.

Plus, i can use upto 8 fingers to play , which is pretty sick.

So, my question is ,

1. is it possible to make a Xbox one/ps4 controller emulator on android, which will emulate the input of any Bluetooth gamepad and make the android device think its a ps4/ Xbox one controllers input?

2. Can any humble developers in this forum make such magisk module/ app / xposed module?

If you can, it will be much appreciated.

There is a Xbox 360 controller emulator called x360ce but it is only available for pc.

P.S. I tried Octopus Gamepad and Panda Gamepad pro but it really sucks (the aiming is really bad)

1. Do unlocking bootloader and installing custom roms void warranty?

2. For unlocking the bootloader, my Mi account has to be signed in the device for at least 7 days?

3. If you were to recommend me a ROM for daily driver (playing PUBGM, and normal daily stuff) what ROM would you suggest?

Also, I'm kind of new to this.. Can you please link a good guide that you followed for unlocking your bootloader? :p

Stock ROM ,I guess.

Miui 11.0.11.0

Android 10

Model m1912g7b1

Why I didn't change to custom ROM , I liked the overall feel and also didn't want to void warranty.

I am trying to reset my phone . and I had backed up all my data. And it is in the phone itself should I go forward with factory reset or should I move the backup to another storage and then reset

Hello, everyone. I'm writing for those who want to try to unlock the bootroder in the future. This is to inform you that the user cannot modify the system related to xperia 1 ii product due to the bootroder opening. Sony seems to have put a lot of restrictions on that tunnel.

Edit: Haha, I should have refreshed the page before replying, I didn't realize that xFire followed up with the exact thing I said XD

With that said, where is that Call of Duty hiding though? I found it... it's in /oem/app which is not mounted by Magisk so it cannot be systemlessly removed, but it is still read-only. Linkedin and Tidal's FREE TRIAL, are also here.

If anyone knows how to remove these, I need to know, because I'm returning this phone if I cannot uninstall Call of Duty and a free trial app...

Original post:

In case anyone else like me just woke up from a 4-year coma when their perfectly adequate device from '16 died overnight, you need a terminal emulator and a Magisk module that does Systemless Debloating (some magic far beyond my understanding). I found a module called Debloater (here is the official thread), that did a good job for the apps I could find. Removed Facebook and Google crap, but I still can't find Call of Duty.
