I recently visited china and bought a samsung galaxy note, it turns out to not have the play store and doesn't have the android ice cream sandwich upgrade yet plus it has locked down post of the google features due to the dispute google and china had
Is there any possible way to re install a normal version of android in to this phone????
Pls help me
Nope, cause it's not real Galaxy Note.

It could be a real galaxy note. I've seen roms and ruus from China without gapps. OP: post some screenshots and pictures of the phone.

99 percents is Chinese fake product!
100% true Galaxy Note
I also bought it in China in Samsung store without play.google
There is already ICS on our device, but still without play.google (ggaps)

I also have the GT-I9220 and it is 100% real Samsung if you want google play on it flash via odin the FM-Note-Kernel_V2.0.tar and then ICS AlBa Full DDLPA rom. Or see my answer how to make a N7000 out of it here :

ICS 4.0.4 could be flashed via KIES, but not OTA.
The chinese guys would “recovery” the zip file of GMS package. Another kind of jailbreak
More young chinese guys would buy phones of local bands, such as Huawei, Meizu, which treat with the GMS issue in a diplomatic way ; and they would buy phones of sumsung, sony from Hongkong, Europe...

Nurrrrr......dont think you live here or have any idea about the market here...
Believe me....your % are somewhat out by 90%...
Every Chinese around me have either a iPhone on plan from China Telecom or a HTC or Samsung..
And would not be caught dead with a fake..
HTC are killing it here...love to see their figures for China sales..
Re..Android without Gapps...its the norm here for most brands..
They have stripped Google out of the picture and steering the plebs to their own markets..
And or alt markets that are popping up...

Hello everybody,
Please, I have the intension to make a android tablet in my name in China but I'd like to know if anyone can guide me to achieve this.
thank you for your support
you may begin to contact some OEM thanks to alibaba.com : just search "android tablet", select the products that appear to be "acceptable" and contact the company! Many of them can easily work as white-label and personnalize their products if you buy a few hundred of them...
but pay attention to quality! (you won't work with samsung but with small companies that have the propension to build bad/cheap products). Try to work with an experienced guy who knows how this type of sourcing works!

They don't. They are 3 separate teams. While the Chinese and US teams skip numbers (B32? A little bit too much?) our team doesn't. i meant that as proof that they aren't the same team.
Also, if the Chinese version gets O and ours stops being supported, we can just make a custom ROM and install it on our phones. I'm using MiFavor 5 right now on my G
MiFavor 5.2 android 8.0: A short video posted by the same user on 4pda.
I think Axon 8 or 9, whatever they will call it will be next year and we will see Oreo on all A7 variants. It's in ZTE's best interest to get Oreo out and try to keep owners happy and start building some brand loyalty to keep us from buying something else before the next Axon flagship.

We'll soon have a nice and decent derivate of this MF5.2 Oreo for our G and U model if the official one is released
Hi Members, when are UK HM10pro phone and users going to get the EMUI 8.1 firmware Android update (if ever), why does OK Google still not work, with it still greyed out, why have they still not sorted out having the home screen in landscape view (not just the apps).
I think Huawei leave a previous model behind ,like all Chinese makers, forget about there users of a previous model, and concentrate on there upcoming phone (The Mate 20 Pro)
I have the latest OTA UK user updates, I even tried that Huawei beta program app (load of rubbish, only for Chinese models).
I think this will be my first, and last Huawei phone product, I think I'll stick with Samsung next time (updates always funelled through at some point with them)
If anyone has an idea on resolving these issues, please post (I've done may full phone resets, so don't bother with this suggestion thanks)
I've also emailed Huawei many times about all the above issues, with there finale help being an update will come (or in the next update), this was months ago now, so very unreliable support.
Thanks
Same here. I regret buying mate Pro. Waiting for one plus 6t n I will get rid of this 10 pro. Absolute bollocks

Looks like we´ll never get EMUI 8.1 in the west, most likely EMUI 9 on Pie soon, as Pie beta program is running and expected to end Nov-30 so far.
Regarding UK devices, if you have some experience try rebranding to EU, which is constantly updated(on October security patch today). I posted a little guide to go UK -> EU on UK thread, check it out if you´re interested: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77825017&postcount=470
Hi All, thanks for the input and comments, so what it really comes down to is ..."don't buy Huawei again" from the vibes that I'm getting here.
I wouldn't want to do any unlocking and rooting, just to have bug fixed update, which should be offered by the manufacturer as a 'duty bound product service' provider anyway, ..no, this is not acceptable.
My only course of action is not to buy there products again, as a consumer that's the power we all have, and we should invoke this stance buy the casual manner by which Huawei, or anyother manufacturer chooses to do so.
Our mistake as buyers is, that we allow these large profit mongering technology companies to continue.
I don't include the likes of Apple, or Samsung, or Sony, these companies have a strong and proven track record, and in the end, are a safer bet with standing by there technology, and supporting there products a little more.
Thanks you members who posted comments.
Regards
Since getting a Mate 10 in February it has received improved night mode camera, monthly security updates, GPU Turbo (never used this), and face unlock. I am happy with that. Much better than Mate 9 that did not get any new features until Oreo arrived in January, and only security updates every 3 or 4 months. 8.1 is out on Chinese Mate 10 models, and Pie is on the way bring it on
This is for C185 region
OK Google Update
OK Google still not working here in UK, any idea when Mate 10 Pro will get Android Pie?? Im still on Android security Patch 1 June 2018 with no updates available? Anyone got a newer security patch?
Model BLA-L09
EMUI 8.0.0
LG and Samsung are as crap as Huawei for updates.
Good luck ever seeing an update on a LG - the wife's G6 (which was mine before she had it) had no security updates while it ran Android 7, was updated to Oreo, and has had one security update since.
Do we have any info is this device coming to Europe ?? Or where to buy in china ?
tx
I don't think it's will come to eu (read that meny time on internet)
I bought mine on TradingShenzhen
Delivered less than 2 weeks
700€ ?? Well, that is close to asus zenfone 9. Hard to choose
I also bought mine at TradingShenzhen. Took just under 2 weeks to arrive.
How's the experience on Xiaomi 12S? I'm planning to get one too.
Issue I found so far with the Chinese ROM
1. Android auto - communication error 22, previously worked with my old phone ( thinking to flash to xiaomi eu rom)
2. Android home - casting to Chromecast, tried once didn't work
3. Whatsapps - choppy video when sharing with others. I think that's a Whatsapp issue
Otherwise it's been very good

According to some information, 12s series are only available in China, because the Leica authorization is currently only open for Chinese. Leijun says that the next generation of flagship will enter the global market.
Maybe you can try to buy it on Taobao (a Chinese online shopping platform), some of the shops support overseas delivery.

If you're not like Chinese and plan on using this phone as a daily driver than you are probably out of luck as this phone does not sell out of China. Even if you managed to get hold of it warranty and other benefits would not work outside of China.
If you are like me who simply wants to try out Chinese hardware and flash Custom roms than I suggest you wait a bit for devs who manage to get their hands on this device or when Xiaomi releases enough code for custom rom developers for them to churn out a good aosp-like rom.
Of course there is still the issue of this device being Chinese-only so non-Chinese custom rom devs would not pay much attention to this device.
The latest device that supports a mainstream AOSP custom rom (I regard LineageOS and pixelexperience as mainstream) is the Mi11, and that has been out for two years now.
You of course can choose to use the stock Chinese rom, With all the Mi bloatware and ads, other Chinese bloatware, Play services bugs, and you would have to sideload the Play Store.
With the money you are paying for this phone (and the added shipping fee to ship outside China) along with the fact that warranty (or even general) support is only in China (which means if you run into issues with your phone you would have to send it back in China to fix the issues) I suggest you look for a different phone that is officially sold and supported in your region.
