Is there anyway to force the beta update. I saw online that has started in Germany. I tried with VPN and changing region but I wasn't able to get it work.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mandrakur:
I saw it too, actually I make new huawei Id for Germany region, and my huawei and location.... stil no new project for mate 40 pro, but can enyone confirmed that beta for mate 40 pro stared in Germany.I hope it will start soon.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vzzoli:
I tried too in hungary with my mate 40 pro (noh-nx9) but it says no available beta program for this device. i think it depends on phone firmware's region not the user's. by this video's comment section Googlefier doesn't work on global versions of harmony os neither.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BiOMeX:
Googlefier works only on EMUI 10. See here: https://xdaforums.com/t/googlefier-install-gms-on-huawei-honor.4180485/
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vzzoli:
Yes, on global firmware android phones, but we are talking about harmony os.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mandrakur:
I wait for hota update, for me changing region is working, logging for beta testers is over now I think or few hours left, this emui 12 is hybrid of aosp 11 and lite variant of harmony os, WI Wil get harmony os 3.0 when be ready for global users next summer. About gms i will try and report. I have everything what I nead working on my mate 40 pro, but I like to have gms to, I have gspace and f1 virtual masine installed but I don't use it to much. Vanced youtube, blue mail or outlook is all what I really need.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] vzzoli:
Thanks, i'm waiting for!

Edit: Which region did you set?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] forgotten_jp:
I think it is important the region and CUST.

I'm waiting for your GMS report. AA it´s the only app that i miss.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] mandrakur:
I made German ID only for beta testing I think that login to beta is over now, yesterday I got hota update, emui 12 looks great I only need some good theme, end will be great. In January will start regular updates to emui 12

so still no native gms for the international version of mate 40 pro, no? :( P40 Pro it's outdated for 2022, and Mate 40 Pro it's the only solution
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] BiOMeX:
Still no.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tboy2000:
I saw a video on YouTube how to convert an international mate 40 pro rom to the Chinese ROM. Requires quite a bit of flashing. Only then can we install GMS. Has anyone tried this? I am tempted.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] robi101012981:
Don't think this is possible, maybe it's a fake one. There are many to convert Chinese to global, but global to Chinese don't think it's possible...Kirin 9000 is not yet supported.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] apophisss:
any new on gsm? or any why to update it to harmony os?

Hello fellow mate 40 pro-ers!

Been messing around with the phone, coming from a mate 20 pro. Obviously quite hooked on google services, but have now 1.5 big problem.

About the gmail-ymail my little experience is that even is gmail works in gspace, i will not be getting any notifications. So i will be using a mail client where i have seen that at least for gmail the notifications work fine.

Any suggestions as to which mail client? I was thinking about avoiding petal

Now to the larger issue.

Calendar

Both i and the misses have a quite complicated schedule that keeps changing every other day. So we each add our schedule in respective google calendar and share calendar with one another.

Obviously, no way to do that natively in mate 40 pro.

Any smart way to keep using google calendar this way?

If not, is there any way to use another shared calendar service but one which syncs with at least one google calendar?

Thanks in advance
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
I use Yahoo mail with microG settings (for notifications) and Huawei mail (just to be there).

And Business calendar pro (paid version) for different events (for birthdays I use Birthdays app, wich sent events on Business calendar pro).
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
Try the following:

1. Install MicroG and set it up (

https://www.reddit.com/r/Huawei/comments/i5fhkf
)

2. Install BlueMail from AppGallery. Give permissions for contacts and calendar. It won't let you add GMail account because it will complain about not having a proper browser.

3. Install Samsung Browser(use petal search or get the apk from internet). Now you can add GMail account to BlueMail because Samsung Browser is a supported one.

Check if your gmail syncs(mails, calendar, everything).

I hope it works.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Thanks, I had already done this and the notifications work in outlook mail app that I have tried. Apart from its widget being very mediocre it syncs mail perfectly so no problems there. The plus is that it even syncs to the Google calendar which was much needed.

Is there anyone who has tried casting to chromecast? Does not work even from gspace
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
Hi there,

I've used casting through GSPACE and it works for me. Have in mind that GSPACE won't work with microg.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Do you mean i have to uninstall microg to get chromecast to work? I have had both installed now some days and everything else in gspace works!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
Hi there,

I am surprised tbh that gspace works for you without issues installed alongside microg(not to be confused with vanced microg). For me gspace starts crashing and giving issues if microg is present and also along the forums I've seen other people reporting the same.

I just tried casting now because I haven't been using it for a while but yes, casting works through gspace. :) Here is a video.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I mean microg from the above post for example, which is used to fix the notifications issues. I have vanced also installed.

I tried to connect to an existing home, I will try to create a new to check.

Thanks!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
Hey, one more thing I forgot to mention!

Casting videos from all apps like Plex, Youtube, etc. is fine. However what wasn't working before and I think still doesn't work is -> if you try to go in Google Home app in gspace and try to cast your phone screen.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
The Only app i ever cast from is Google photos
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I must be doing something wrong because when i cast from my pc to chromecast today, my mate 40 woke up and informed me i could control the playback from the other device in my chromecast!!!

So, google home from within gspace reached out and got i contact with chromecast!

I will be erasing the existing home setting and doing the connection from the beginning to see if it works.

In other new, if anyone is interested, i found a way to get google calendar in business calendar pro.

First of all, outlook app is working like a charm with multiple google accounts, even more it syncs to google calendar with no issues. But the calendar app and the widget nonetheless is no up to par with business calendar.

However business calendar pro would not connect to google calendar, whatever i may have tried. But business calendar 2 (not pro) DOES, and if you install first the non pro and THEN the pro edition, then the pro edition gets access also! If you try to uninstall the non pro then the pro loses connection!!!

Weird but i don't really care!!!!

Hi,

Sorry, I can't understand what you did and what was the problem.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kxra:
I use OurPlay, but I am having the same error. I cann't access Play Store at all, on any of my connected accounts. Nobody else having this error? I already tried OurPlay settings to reinstall google services

This is interesting, but you didn't provide the link
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
@kxra, I use this version of OurPlay ...

Install, open, skip, "Im an old hand", wait to install GMS suite (3 apps, on the top of the screen), tap on Google store, one click autorization, allow, login (gmail and password - I use other method, with sms on my number phone) ... insert the code received via sms, and this is it ... Google store functional.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I am starting to have force stops in gspace, and according to @xchatter that is because of microg. MicroG serves however a very important role of getting notifications of other apps in mate 40 pro... Dilemma...
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
OK, and i also can confirm that everything in gspace breaks if microg is installed. BUT without microg i get no notifications... mail-instant chats, nothing.

Is there an alternative?

(also, i got emui 12)

Heeeelpppp!!!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] drwal333:
i use va rooted gspace trying to home apps to share screen from phone to tv
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
Your best bet is to use OurPlay instead of GSpace. It can work alongside microg.

Unfortunately you can't create shortcuts of the apps on the home screen. This feature is paid but your have no way for paying unless you are in China. :( At least I haven't found a way to subscribe to their paid service.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Interestingly, google Photo functions fine through gspace with microg, but nothing Else works. My biggest "need" however is actually Gphotos. I will continue to check out ourplay but so far not so ...user friendly!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
But Gphoto work without no hacks ...

No other app need for that.

I have it installed on the phone, not in Gspace or DualSpace or other app ...
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I am guessing you mean the web link that opens via huawei appstore with the internal browser?

Yes, it works, but the functionality of the app is not even comparable. You cannot share, you cannot auto-backup, edit...

Unless you mean that you have installed the app somehow and logged in!

Whereas the app via gspace does all of the above, and backs everything up as soon as you open it, and it can be allowed to work in the background also!

-Darn ourplay in the meantime just tries to get on my nerves. I only try to install drive, gmail, sheets, docs, but it manages like one of these in like 20 minutes, and the rest stay just Pending! WTF?

-Next question, how do i get the old notifications back? I strongly dislike the new control panel when i drag down from the right corner
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Etimuz:
Hi, best solution Gspace for moment, last app gspace, this tutorial in spanish but easy.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
The new "Control Center" feature can't be disabled. :/ I am using the button style navigation so I just have a button in the navigation bar that brings down the notifications panel. I also find this swipe that brings down the Control Center inconvenient.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I Believe i have the last version but it still does not get along with microg
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
I'm talking about the app.

Download, install, login and ... that's it.

For apps, I use APKMirror if I can't find what I need on Aurora or App gallery.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Wait, the app exists of course but does not login. Did you get it from aurora or other place?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Thanks for the zip. 3 all's in ,only base installs but does not open then
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
This is what I get extracting the app with APK extractor ...

Search the app on APKMirror.

Or try to install the other apks too.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Parsing error on the other. Where did you get the app?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Sorry, saw it now
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Still no go, downloaded latest version from apkmirror, installed via apkmirror installer, and when I try to login I get microg login page which never works.

If you have a way to install and login natively, i am very interested. Which version for you download from apkmirror?(there are 5-8 for every photos version)
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
Try one of those marked with "x" ... arm64-v8a, nodpi
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I am trying them right now. But you mean that you can login normally and natively in your Huawei mate 40 pro!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
Yes.

Edit: you're right, if I'm trying to login in Google photo, it will not login (thru the microg page).

But photos are there, in my account.

This is what i get everytime i try to login to any google app, natively. You do have microg installed right?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
Wait, I think I'm in error ...

I saw the photos here, when I'm opening the Google photo, but I think it's photos from the device, not from account.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Yeah, exactly. I see the photos I have in the device but cannot login. Can you login?

As a sidenote I discovered Amazon photos today which gives you 5gb for videos and unlimited storage for full sized pictures of you have prime! Works natively in Huawei also
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
Nope, no login, the same error.

I just checked on the other phone, no recent photos from Mate there.

For me it's not a big deal Google photos, all I want to save it's into my Huawei ID account, I bought extra space there and I have enough (Huawei cloud).
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Yeah i get it. I already pay at Google and it would be a pain to move everything but it's doable
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
On Huawei cloud, it seems I bought the silver one, around 8 euro, 55GB ...

It should be not so hard to move all you want, using a Huawei device with GMS ... moving from Google photo into device, then moving them into Huawei cloud ...
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
200gb for 22 euro at google.

Guys, any solutions to googles two step verification notices? Any way we can get them in mate 40 pro?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I mean, sms notification works, so no real deal breaker!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
Ok guys, I just found out how we can save our photos in Google Photos !!! (from phones without GMS).

To do this, first of all, in the phone's gallery, after selecting the pictures (or the folder), you must press the "download" button. After this step, the pictures become valid for uploading to Google photo, accessed from Ourplay (probably also from GSpace / DualSpace).

Tested, verified on PC, I filled the 15GB in my Google account (I emptied it later)
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
Bought mate 40 pro yesterday. Is there any solution to use paid version of apps from play store?

I had before mate 20x, phone clone copied almost all apps, but they become free versions now...
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
I use Business calendar pro, bought since I was using P40 pro (or earlier).

No problem with it, when I've changed to Mate40 pro.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] electric00l:
I cloned the apps in GSpace. I've been able to use my bank and other paid apps from there. Only problem is with widgets. I haven't been able to find a way to use widgets I installed in GSpace to show on my homescreen.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanox1972:
I saw few videos gspac can give play store app, but I haven't got it...

Normally?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
I installed gspace too, to check ... no play store, indeed.

Try Ourplay, see if you find what you want.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
In gspace tap on an app you have not already installed and it will take you to your play store!

Ourplay did not suit me.

About photos, i use a link of gspace's Gphotos app placed in as my gallery, so every time i open it it backs everything up!

About paid apps, if app clone does not do the trick then i guess two options.

One contact the developer and ask for help, in one case they offered to refund me so as to pay for their app through huawei's app store.

The other solution is not legal or ethical... you get my drift. If i have paid for the app though, i will feel less unethical about it
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I am guessing all you guys have working notifications via microG.

Do you have apps that although registered in microg do not get notifications? Any ideas on how to fix that?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Etimuz:
Actualizacion Gspace full tutoriol in spanish.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djingonthenet:
To be honest, quite a lot of my apps don't work for notifications, but the main ones like Outlook, WhatsApp and Messenger do work, so I can live without the others.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Which apps are not functioning properly for you?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] djingonthenet:
The well known ones are eBay, any BBC or SKY apps (but not worried about that), not sure about Amazon (that might work, not ordered anything recently so can't remember!). To be fair, I don't use a lot of well known apps like Snapchat, TikTok etc so no idea if they work or not.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Up until now I have only played with the phone at home and prepared it(i am used to making a lot of adjustments before I actually set my sim card in), so in a couple of days i will try it out
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
Viber works, telegram mostly works (weird but i usually get notifications, but sometimes not...), messenger also.

Viber's backup is on drive so you can't get it from there, but huawei's clone app worked like a charm
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] xchatter:
Telegram works normally if you use it and update it from AppGallery + Adjust Battery Optimization + Adjust Launch Settings.

One thing that annoyed me is that Telegram won't share location because it uses google maps. This made me switch to "Plus Messenger" which is an app that is basically utilizing Telegram APIs. So by using it you have Telegram but on steroids. Location will also work. Search it on AppGallery and give it a shot. ;)

P.S.

Still Adjust Battery Optimization + Adjust Launch Settings
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
And curve works like a charm!

One annoyance is that i am used to sharing a spreadsheet through google, where 2 people can even simultaneously edit, and share the same version of, WITH a shortcut on the homescreen.

The quick app from appgallery for google sheets is rarely functional, through gspace does not work probably due to microG. Huawei's own docs cannot put a link on the homepage.

Microsoft's solution demands a paid account to share files via cloud....

Any solutions?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
Have you tried Ourplay?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:

Holla Etimuz.

I have installed again and the Ads didn't go away. I reset the phone from factory settings, installed one more time, and the Ads keep every time I open Gspace or any Google apps I installed with it. I followed all the instructions as you say. What am I doing wrong?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Etimuz:
Hi , you install the APP 1,Gspace.apk, no update App Gspace , if you instaled other Gspace, delete folder.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] schumifer:
I have paid for Gspace without ads, but unfortunately it only works hours to days before it loses connection, probably because of the microG.

I was wondering whether i can download a huawei apk somehow. I am guessing that i.e. viber app via huawei appgallery is different than from play store since the one backs up to huawei and the other to google drive.

I cannot get my viber history to my huawei mate 40 pro, and viber says that the backups between different platforms are not compatible!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Shymmy:
What phone did you use before Mate40 pro ??

If it was also Huawei, you can try a backup in Huawei ID on the first phone, and recovery on Mate40 pro after connecting with the same Huawei ID.
