I recently got a Honor 5X. I am totally happy with the phone except for the GPS problems.
Whenever I open Google Maps it locates my position for couple of seconds and immediately looses it. It's like the phone couldn't hold on to my position more than couple of seconds.
Has anyone faced this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I am having the same issue on two brand new honor 5x with the marshmallow update. Navigation does not work in Google maps either.
I updated the phone to Marshmallow immediately after I got it. So I never got to test if it was working in Lollipop or not.
I've had my 5x since release and had no GPS problems. I'm still Lollipop as I've been so busy I haven't sat down to upgrade the firmware yet - I've even been playing Pokemon Go on it and the GPS behaves yet.
You might have a bum GPS that needs to be exchanged for a different phone.
It's definitely Google maps and the Marshmallow update not playing nice with each other. I have two Honor 5x with the same problem. Have to use waze for turn by turn.
Same here. I tried Here maps and it works perfectly fine even in offline mode.
The issue seems to be specific to Google Maps.
So how do we fix it? I need to play my pokemon go lol
Pokemon Go seems to be working without much problem.
I got the OTA patch, I'm happy with Marshmallow now!
I just had an email conversation with Ron from [email protected] He said they are aware of the issue and apparently there is a patch available from the Huawei. After giving them my IMEI # they will be pushing down to my phone over the weekend. Hopefully it works. Reach out to them
I have also contacted the Honor Support and they have pushed a small 509kb ota update to my phone.
After applying the update Google Maps is working without problems.
Man oh man no Google Maps, Arggg.
Can anyone share their Huawei Map Update Fix for Marshmallow Honor 5X? This sux.
I actually fixed it by downloading TopNTP from the Playstore. You install the profile for your region/area. Google Maps works flawlessly.
(I am on CM13 - 7/26 build)
I can't get the GPS to work , KIW-l24 with the latest 6.0.1 firmware from the honor US page. What should i do? I need to play Pokemon Go

Hi,
I've recently been lucky enough to acquire the European version of the Honor 7 on their official website vmall.
I had the chance to use it for a little bit and everything seems great but I'm facing one major issue which is: I can't get anything coming from Google Play...
Every time I try to do so I either get an error or my Google app just spins and keep spinning for no reason.
On another thread, I saw that this is due to the phone being Chinese therefore Google is blocked.
I don't know if anyone found a solution to bypass this limitation or if I'm the only one facing the problem with the European version of the Honor 7 but I just wanted you guys to let guys know that it might be an issue you'll have to face. (there's no need to erase you cache or delete the GApps, it won't work)
Hope someone will come out with a solution !
Hi,
i bought Honor 7 last friday from Vmall portal. I receive the device today, and fortunately my Google Play Store works fine.
I'm sorry.
Just tried again and after waiting for a while, it seems like I got to download some applications.
It took me a while but I managed to get something so I guess it might just be coming from the network I was using.
Hopefully it'll work better as I keep on using it.
Here the same, no problem with the h7 received by vmall.eu on italy.
I had the same problem on my chinese PLK-AL10, 64GB.
Removing google account, deleteting cache and data on download, play services helped for a few hours.
Looks indeed it is connected to using the chinese Huawei apps.
Did a stock ROM reflash, which left my personal data intact, now it has been ok for 3 days.
Here no problems too with Google Play.
Check if your version is same of me in Setting / About Phone / Type is PLK-L01
I had same problem, just go to parameters in Google play store and clic on the version number, the play store will update and that's good no more problem
Apparently the biggest problem was to update the Google Play to the latest version but once done, everything went as smoothly as usual.
I guess it must've been some trouble with the Google Services the phone came up with but everything's got fixed as soon as the service got updated.
As mickeydeplage said once done no more problems.
Thanks for your advice guys.
Im amazed you have the European version so soon! I ordered mine when it was announced, and it still hasn't even shipped.

grazie!
Ciao FoLg0re,
yes i confirm that my phone model is PLK-L01.
I don't know if it works with Wind, but I assure you that works with 3!
Ciao
Got it to work by re-installing the google play store, now 3 days later, back to the same issue. Fix is pretty simple
- clear play store and play services cache
- add google account (Apps will work but store will give 7S error)
- remove google account
- add google account
- All working again.. for another 0-72hours.
ADB logs to follow as soon as I have some free time.. Any ideas are welcome
Think I've answered same thread already. I had the same issue.
For me solution was to install older version of Google play. I've installed version 5.7 and everything went fine, however I just noticed that it was automatically updated to 5.8.8 - however it still works fine.
Same problem here.
How can I update Google play if I cant access it?
Can somebody confirmed their "Google Play store" and "Google Play services" version please, mine is 5.9.12 and 8.1.18 (2272748-248) which is downloaded as APK and installed, Model PLK-L01 UK model, Build Number "PLK-L01c432B100
---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------
I also find this useful website for Downloading Google .APK, Some of them which is higher or lower version than installed in our phone and might be useful to sort out FC or Google Play service or similar app crash problem :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/
Google Play Store: 5.9.12
Google Play Services: 8.1.15
Build: PLK-L01C432B100
Model: PLK-L01
No FC.
Guys I have the same problem my phone is an honor 7 model is PLK-AL10. I could find on the honor page the firmware "PLK-L01C432B100 Upgrade Software WEU".
Does anybody knows to flash the rom i should find the firmware with same name extension similar to mobile model?

Hey there,
if you are still a regular user of the good old GTab 10.1 - like my GF - you might have encountered this issue recently too.
Google has updated and does remotely update your Play Store Service to a version which is not supported anymore by this tablet, or the other way around, the app does not support our hardware anymore and the service keeps crashing and crashing, same with Chrome and Maps as far as I know.
Well I first thought something is wrong with the ROM or Gapps so I looked for a recent unofficial ROM and found the [ROM][Unofficial][AOSP] Android 7.1.1 Nougat and there was stated:
Incompatible apps:
The following apps no longer support the hardware in this tablet. They will not work on any ROM for this device. There is no hack to make them work.
Apps that do not support this tablet:
Chrome 50+
Google Translate
Gboard 6.0.79
Maps 9.45
Google Play services 10.2
Apps based on Unity 5 engine
Last known compatible versions:
Chrome 49.0
Gboard 6.0.69
Maps 9.44
Google Play services 10.0.84
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well I had a backup from 2015 on the GTab and restored it but immediately the service updated itself and it began to crash.
In the Above mentioned thread there was some1 writing
This worked for me (for disabling Google Play Services auto-update) :
- disconnect wifi
- disable auto-update apps in Google Play Store
- in Settings / Apps, GPS, 3-dots menu, Uninstall updates, so back to v10.0.84....
- in App info, Data usage, disable Unrestricted data usage
- reconnect wifi
Now GPS doesn't seem to auto-update anymore.
Best regards

Sadly this does not seem to work for me. I was thinking about Titanium backup to freeze the GPS but I am not sure if this will work.
Also flashed manually a GApps Version which had the older play store in it but also got overwritten immediately
So have you encountered this issue and how did you fix it?
Thanks
Did you make sure to turn off auto update apps in Google Play store? That combined with the other steps listed worked for me and my Galaxy Tab play services has NOT updated... And it works fine, though it still occasionally crashes, but not every ten secons.
Thank you for this information. I've been banging my head on the wall for a few days while searching the cause.
I'm facing exactly the same problem.
I don't have the "Disable unrestricted data usage" option in Google Play Services Data Usage.
There is only "Restrict app background data", but this one doesn't prevent GPS from update.
In the next day GPS updates automatically to version 10.2.* and crushes.
have you tried this ? : https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/delete-disable-downgrade-prevent-update-t3091832
tl;dr create 2 folders at /data/app : com.google.android.gms-1.apk and com.google.android.gms-2.apk . Done that today, but still need to test on the long run.
I tried this and it worked - for a couple of days. Now some apps are complaining they are unlicensed
Well I was able to disable GPS completely but now, as stated above, apps are complaining and there are now no app updates availible and the complete store is disabled, not really what I was looking for. But I guess Google now really fu:cyclops::cyclops:ed us. So are we done with this tablet or what?

My p4wifi is working fine on the latest 7.1.1 ROM and the older GApps. Disabling automatic updates in the Play Store keeps regular apps from updating when we don't want them to.
Disabling the background data settings in Apps.... Google Play Services... Settings keeps GPS from updating itself.
(I'm not sure that I made the settings change in Developer Options or not.)
It might be worth reading through the posts in the 7.1.1 thread.
I can afford a new tablet, but cannot find anything this size that keeps the ROM current with Google releases.
(I also do not play games or need esoteric applications.)
Don't give up yet.
Is this a solution?
https://www.xda-developers.com/unshackle-your-device-from-the-google-play-store-with-apkupdater/
I also deleted cacche from Gps & blocked the internet connection wth Afwall.
Tried the solution of lebaronrouge in 5.1.1 rom topic.
Seems to work.
I am using a LeMax 2 running Lineage OS (14.1-20170503-Unofficial-x2). Everything is working very, very well. (please keep in mind, I'm coming from a Nexus 6, which had bad slowness and battery issues now, and I LOVED this phone!) However, I've run into a problem with "Ok, Google" and Android Auto.
If I update the Google App (I've tried both "normal" and beta) then it breaks the "OK, Google" hotword detection. I downgrade, and it works fine. I have Android Auto set to auto start when it connects to my bluetooth transmitter. If the Google app has been downgraded, Android Auto wants to update it, won't launch without it, and that always updates Google, breaking the hotword again.
I use both Android Auto and "Ok, Google" a lot, so I'd love to find a way to be able to use both. Any suggestions? I've tried downgrading Auto, and every combo I can think of with Google and AA, but I cannot get them to work at the same time.
ETA: I've since updated to the official Lineage OS, (the 05/19 Nightly) and still the same issue
ETA2: I did an uninstall updates. Version 7.1.29.21.arm64 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox works fine with the hotword detection - until you open Android Auto. Then it stops altogether, even though it hasn't updated. This time, only one time, I got a toast message in Android Auto saying voice commands weren't available right now, but couldn't get it to do it again.
Delete...sorry

Could you please tell which Google app version do you have exactly? Mine is not working.

I've tried several different version from apk mirror and just "un-updating" what I had. I've tried a full factory reset, then installing the official LOS nightly listed above. I've compared the Google app version to the working version (both Android Auto and the Ok, Google hotword) on my Nexus 6, and gotten as close as possible to it, or even newer versions (apk mirror again, then flashing Gapps, arm 64 7.1 Stock from 05/23) I can get one or the other to work, but not both Ok, Google and Android Auto. I've tried turning voice control off, then back on. I've deleted and re-recorded my voice commands. I cannot figure out how to make this work. Until I get it figured out, I'm using my Nexus 6, but it's about to need retiring.

That's my point. All but the one I'm using now have worked with it...until it insists on an update to the most recent.
All I know is that 7.3.16.21.arm64 com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox doesn't work. I'm sorry, I don't know the version that worked for sure, as I did a full factory reset to try and fix the problem. I promise, I'm not trying to be difficult. I just didn't know it was going to happen or I'd have noted the version numbers.
I've also tried it with the SIM in, and with the SIM out. Not sure why that would have anything to do with it, but worth trying.
I think the problem is to do with google assistant which comes with the newer versions of the Google app (replacing Google Now)
For me it's only working when turning ok Google recognizing off. Turning it on didn't work. Sound curious but it's real. Dunno what's wrong here. Ok Google also only works on main screen when mobile is unlocked. Having another app in foreground​ it does not trigger.
I don't know if this behavior belongs to me max 2 or to Google app. Anyone else can confirm this problem?
Linage needs to fix this on there end. They need to create a working gapps install.

Hi everybody,
So yesterday I updated to emui and Android 9. Today I had to discover that the "okay Google" feature doesn't work anymore. If I open the search manually or drag up from bottom screen corners it listens but I can't fire it up with saying "okay Google".
I checked the options in the phone and the ones in the Google app an both were deactivated but not grayed out. The problem is when I try to turn them on they get turned off automatically in less than a second.
I think it has something to do with huaweis assistant wich I don't want to use. Is speech activation now blocked or is it a bug?
BTW I actually own a mate 10 pro but I posted here because I don't know if the problem comes from Android or emui and because the 20 came to my knowledge shipped with the update but the 10 did not.
Please excuse my English I'm not a native speaker and thanks to everybody
I set mine up did the ok Google, hey Google steps. But when I tried to use it, it wasn't detecting my voice. After a bit of fiddling around I managed to get it working. Below is what I did.
Cleared cache and storage
Disabled App
Enabled App
Downloaded update from playstore
Reboot
Setup voice detect
Retrained voice.
Tested it worked several times
Rebooted
Test again still works
Genuine question, why do you all use this feature? What uses does it have? I just pick up my phone to do what I need to do. I'm just curious, might even give me a reason to use it lol

It's a known problem since 6 months by Google on many many many devices
I just started a thread on this... It seems to me like the new Pie permissions are an issue and one of the coders didn't get the memo that now you need to make Google app or Assistant a Trusted Agent to unlock your phone. Been trying things for days to get this working.... Such a piss off. Especially when I'm driving and I need to say Ok Google, take me to the closest Home Depot. Gfs frustrating
Edit: if I get a ticket for holding my phone... I'm gonna blame it on Google
As the title suggests I am having issues with Voice training the Google Assistant on my OnePlus 5. The issue started way back in December 2018 and to date nothing I have tried to resolve the issue has worked. I have tried all the fixes from checking permissions/language settings (tried both UK and US) to deleting cache and uninstalling the Google app then to the extreme of a factory reset all to no avail. I have sent feedback to both OnePlus and Google and again nothing has come of it. It is like my microphone just won't switch on using ANY Google app including chrome. I have no issues with the microphone on any other 3rd party apps and have tried both Cortana and Alexa apps and they work with no issues. I got a Google home at Christmas and haven't been able to use it fully as I can't train my voice. When I uninstalled the Google app to the stock version without the updates I noted that the access with Voice match toggle was greyed out and unable to be turned on. This issue has been a regression from the last Oreo update right through to the latest Pie 9.0.5 Oxygen OS.
Does anyone out there know how to fix this problem? Surely after 6+ months down the line a fix should have been implemented?
Does it work now? I had the same issue on my OnePlus 5 but I was just recently (within the last week) able to get it working.
