You should fix the ADB link, the ADB provided in that link is outdated. Even the author of that post suggested not using it. Go here: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools

Hi everyone,

So although that I had made attempts to successfully install gms without any errors, I did not fully succeed in any of the guides. My firmware was 114 or 117 (don't remember now) and I tried several times with this firmware, as well as with 121 firmware (the only update I had).

So far, Google photos, Google maps, Google drive, YouTube, whatsapp, all work, however I am getting the notification "device is not play protect certified" when I open them (attached).

NEVERTHELESS, I do note foll:

- whatsapp backup successfully restored from Google drive, - Google photos sync and backup successfully between devices

- maps work (haven't actually navigated, but seems that everything is calculated properly).

-Contacts have synced with my Google contacts

-Gmail app works, but whenever I launch the app I get a banner saying "Google is having trouble with play services. Please try again", however I can see behind the banner that all new mails are there, but if i click the compose msg button, then I keep getting the error and cannot proceed.

-What I noticed though is that no any app currently installed on my p20 pro has been restored from play store on the p40 pro.

-i have NO notifications from Google apps

-Google search app works only for searching, I have no cards displayed on Google feed and it shows that I am not signed in, although all other Google apps have me properly signed in.

-Google Home does not work, since it does not allow me to sign in.

-Youtube works normally without any errors, actually I am also receiving notifications of newly uploaded videos :/

What the heck is going on? How come they partly work since my device is not certified and I am getting the notification page in all Google apps when they first launch?

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] sko4a:
IMO you should factory reset the phone and try another method for installing GMS until you find one that works for you. I tried a few and this way I was able to made it: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=83303057&postcount=262

It seems it is not possible to have both notifications and play store working together, so you use Icebox to freeze Google Play after restoring your purchased in order to have notifications. Then use a replacement store like Aurora.

Good luck and don't give up ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Shymmy:
I have Google installed, with Google Play and notifications active (I don't know if that metod still works)

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] potsykate:
I've tried both of these methods and both work on my P40 Pro with firmware .131. I've now updated to August security patch .154 and all Google services are still working fine.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTIZFehwlw&feature=youtu.be

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA-gyruGORo This is the one I am currently using for the last few weeks with no problems at all.

Good luck and don't give up
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Thanks mate

I tried many methods so far, the one you used, one from a German guy, the other from the Portuguese guy (video in English) but all more or less resulted the same.

What I cannot understand is whether I do have play services working after all, or not, since as I said, my content syncs, although I am getting the non-certified error. Ok, and I do not have notifications from gapss.. [emoji23]

So I am really really confused.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
I will try the second one, first already tried, thanks! [emoji3]
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Mine didn't work with that, or did it? I really don't know what to say. It's just weird, I have my content but I have this error and I don't have any notifications, yet everything syncs. Google photos sync automatically between my p20 pro and the p40 pro, etc
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] dalfshiro:
How to downgrade? Some tutorial just downloading firmware with checking firmware approve or not approve. Is it safe to install with differen region firmware? Or all firmware just the same and can be installed to all devices?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
No, it is not save to install a firmware that does not suite to your device. In best case it just can't be installed, in worst case you'll brick your phone. This is at least what I think and what a heard from other user reports in this forum. Do you have difficulties to find the right firmware?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
So what I can say from my side, Gmail app works for me. And Google Home allows me to sign in. Anyway I don´t use this app, so I cannot say more about it.

On the other side I had problems with syncing contacts and calendar.. but I found a solution.

Maybe the "functionality" refers to the firmware, maybe the GMS installation is just not "perfect".

Any other apps, that don´t work for you.? I can install them on my phone and try, if they are not country related, as "food delivery service" you´ve mentioned?

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

I just installed efood delivery, at least it lets me to sign in via facebook.

Concerning Netflix. It doesn´t work on some devices. I had problems with OnePlus and also with my Huawei P40 Pro at the beginning. Now it works (after installing through Aurora Store I think). I don´t think it is GSM related. For me it works. But there are some solutions in the app-section on XDA.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
The installation is far from perfect i tell you that :(

Let me ask you something, so if you have a successful gms installation, i take it that after that you have to freeze gsf in order to have push notifications of you have normal push notifications?I am somewhat confused on this. Do you have to freeze gsf to have push and then to unfreeze only when you want to use playstore?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
No, I didn´t freeze anything. But as I remember it didn´t work from the beginning. I tried so many things and actually I don´t know why everything is working now. I should have written down all my steps ;) . I think I also updated Google services. For syncing contacts I had to downgrade GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.

And I still didn´t recognize, if I get all the notifications that are possible. But I get them for my mails and all other messages (using signal for sms), whatsapp and I don´t miss anything.

If I understood correctly you imported your apps from your P20? Another idea, that there is a conflict with this method? I didn´t have this opportunity as I came from a non huawei device. I had to install all my apps from scratch using Aurora as well as Playstore especially for my paid apps.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Since I had nothing to lose (phone not being properly setup with gms) I restored my p20 pro backup via hisuite. All my data, even home screen, were restored, minus 76 apps which failed for no apparent reason, I just saw a msg that 76 apps did not complete restoration (I have more than 250 apps installed normally)

Now I am pairing my Samsung watch active 2 to see if this works, but as I see it, I will have to try again from scratch.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
Of course I cannot know but HiSuite could be the problem, especially if you restore data from a different device. Did you just restore app data or also system data? I´m not firm with HiSuite, but also with former devices I sometimes had conflicts by using backup apps - one reason I miss root.... but I knew it before and still happy with Huawei and the given solutions here on XDA.

So yes, maybe give it a second try, but please don´t make me responsible if you brick your phone :rolleyes: ... Good luck!

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

Or you try to reset all your settings first through the phone´s menu. Maybe you have also restored settings from your older device which cause a conflict now.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
I will try to start from scratch again today if I have some time to spare. Did you install MicroG as well?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
No, both is not possible.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Meaning? Is there a way to install microG and have everything working without this trick?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
I don´t think so. Maybe you take a look into this thread:

Thanks mate, it starts getting a bit more clear now[emoji16]

I also noted that in my setting menu when I select Google account it just keeps loading, is it the same in yours?

P.s: yesterday I inserted my sim cards and got a notification for 154 update, finally.. [emoji23] (although I won't be doing the update until I get this working)

FOR the time being, with my device as is, I would say that I could use it if I had Google home working (my local food app suddenly started to work), even though I am getting the error page when I open apps, since it seems that at the same time apps are working. Any solution on that? View attachment 5094585

I followed the youtube videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA-gyruGORo and confirmed it is working for P40 Pro ELS NX9. Need to follow all the steps exactly i.e. uninstall and reinstall Google Play Services and wipe data Google Framework and reboot etc

However, Google News can’t sign in after GMS installed using this method. Don’t know why. Can help?

Dunno.. I have the same problem with Google home and also I do not have the Google cards nor the left Google feed normally located on the most left home screen. But since I am reading that all known methods have now been blocked, I am not that keen to try again.. When did you install gms? Recently or is it a while? What firmware did you have?

I cant do it firm 131 :(
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] SloPoke23:
Google Home works on my P40 Pro+. Location Services works. Location Sharing works. Google Play Books works. My banking app works. Google Contacts Sync works, but only if I uninstall the Google Contacts sync system app completely and sync manually (!?))

What doesn't work (out of the apps I use):

o Google Duo (Give Access->Unable to send the request.)

o Google Pay (expected since phone is uncertified)

o Google News (Sign in to get personalized news->Not connected, Try again)

o FCM Push Notifications (can't register for push notifications verified using the Push Notification Tester app), which means any app using the service for notifications will not receive them.)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] frogdr1ver:
It you install the older version of contact sync (4.4.4) it should sync automatically.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
My solution for push notifications is to freeze gsf. I only unfreeze it every now and then to update apps in playstore and then re-freeze it.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] SloPoke23:
Unfortunately, that breaks Google Location Accuracy and other apps that depend on that service. At least on my ELS-N39. It also starts a never ending stream of Play Protect notifications. And re-freezing GSF doesn't fix any of the things that broke when it was frozen. I'd rather have an accurate location with Google Maps than notifications.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
If you are getting play protect notifications then I suggest you try again the 26th Sept method. This fixed it for me and I have no problem whatsoever ever since with location accuracy. The only caveat is the non functionality of playstore, nothing else.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] SloPoke23:
I only get those notifications if I freeze and re-enable GSF. Right now the phone is working probably the best it's going to get.

You sure you get enhanced location accuracy with GSF frozen? Google Maps gives you a blue dot right away for your location when you are out of view of satellites?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Yes, right away

Maybe once or twice I got the improve location accuracy notification but maybe this was after refreezing, I don't know.

Right now I opened gmaps after having unfrozen and frozen gsf and it took 1 sec to give me the blue dot.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 3 Accessories] Draver12:
Hello,

I've tried (without success) to connect an external Mic with 3.5mm connector to my phone, using a USB type C to 3.5mm adapter.

Since android doesn't recognize external microphone, I used an app called "Open Camera", which enable using external mic.

My equipment:

- Phone is Mi note 3.

- I tried using several generic Usb type C to 3.5mm adapter - haven't found a similiar product by Xiaomi.

- Microphone is Maono Cm-10S - which works fine when connected to a phone with 3.5mm audio jack.

Any way to make it work?

P.S. I haven't found any dedicated App to audio recording, which allows the use of an external mic.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] DaveCZ:
Hello there,

Today I need a rather interesting help. My old Mi A1 is not connecting to the mobile network, so it cant make calls and send SMS. I checked the IMEI and both IMEIs are there. It also can not connect to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. It all happened after system restoration in the service center. Any ideas on how to fix this or what is causing this?

Thanks!

PS: When I try any custom ROM, the IMEI disappears. Maybe its "installed wrongly"??
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] helmyb:
hey bro, did you find any solution for that cause I have the same issue?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] DaveCZ:
Hello, indeed I did. It was the IMEI that was causing this issue. Went to the service center again to write the IMEI numbers again and it worked. Although, the WiFi issue was caused by faulty WiFi chip on the motherboard. So I had to replace the thing.

[Android Head-Units] DonS:
I have an Android head unit I received for free, but it's missing the device cable. The unit has a sticker on the back that says AC-9216B-2+16GB. I was able to figure out what pins were for the battery connection, ground, and accessory. using some clip leads I was able to get it to power up and I found a complete wiring diagram in the settings displayed on the screen. I just need to find the 16 pin connector to be able to use this unit. The clip leads barely hold on and fall off with the slightest movement.

I'll attach some pictures with the device info and the connector.

Any help for where to buy the device cable would be greatly appreciated. It came with the GPS antenna, the backup camera cable, the A/V cable, and the two USB cables. It was just missing the main cable that has the connections for the power, and speakers. It also came with a USB dongle that is supposed to add Android Auto.

I see a lot of posts about this type of unit (8227L) with instructions for how to unlock the bootloader and flash custom ROMs. So if I can find a cable, I should be able to make this unit work pretty well.
[Android Head-Units] zetlaw01:
You can buy the cable from aliexpress just search for shops:

Carload

Podofo

Both sell 8227L devices and you can get the cables from them.
[Android Head-Units] DonS:
Thanks for the tip. It took a little searching, but I found the correct cable. If you search for "XY AUTO Android Solution Interface" They come right up. The power cable was only $1.82. I ordered two since I was paying almost $5 for shipping. Of course they will take a month to get here from China.
