Just want to ask you guys that have Chinese version of mate 10, is android pay working for you?
Every time I try to add a payment card in the android pay app, 3 seconds after the camera opens the app will switch back to it's previous screen. I also can not make payment on play store. I can download free apps but I cant purchase app even though I have a bank card stored on my google account. Anyone have the same problem?
I've got the Mate 10 Pro which was shipped from Carphonewarehouse here in the UK and I'm having the same problem with Android pay. I've tried reinstalling but still persists.
Same problem with the ALP-29 (European) model. Is it something with the way Launch handles apps perhaps?
wow， I didn't expect European version have the same problem. I thought it's the Chinese firmware's problem.
This is a pretty serious bug imo, Huawei should fix it asap.
Android pay works on my AL00 rebranded to L29 C636 but tried to use it twice and my card got declined. I have no issues with the card. Strange .
Update. I think it was because I had app lock set to Android Pay. I disabled it and all payments work fine.

I've got a really weird issue with the original L29 and Android Pay. The card is accepted and it works but the icon for Android Pay simply disappears and it shows in Google Play as disabled. Enabling it returns it but shortly it disappears again. And it never survives reboot.
Hey guys, plz try to go to Google Play and add ur credit card into it, then go back to the Android Pay and try adding a card again.
If this helps, plz let me know. Good luck.

I find the fix for camera jumping back issue, go to phone manager-launch-android pay. Turn it to manual and turn on all sub options under manual.
However I still can not pass the card verification process on this phone, android pay says it is card issuer problem. But I tried all of my bank/ credit cards , none of them can pass the verification. And the same cards can be used on my old P9 PLUS and on my friend's MATE 9. So there is definately something wrong with the mate 10, very strange problem.
Hello all, i had this problem too but resolved it by following the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/huawei-mate-10-android-pay-t3714857.
Try clearing all data in your Google Play Services (under Settings->Apps). Let Play Services reload the data and try adding a new card again using Android Pay. If that doesn't work, then uninstall updates from Google Play Services, the reboot your phone. Wait for play store to update your Google Play Services to the latest version (it can take a while) then adding new cards to Android Pay shouldn't be a problem. Hope this works for all!
Google Play Services Issue
It has already been stated but please clear all data from Google Play Services. I had the same problem with Android pay. Cleared all data and I'm good to go. Mate 10 fully rocks right now!
After tried everything you guys suggested, I still can not get this working. Cards still cant pass the verification process. Whats your play store version and play service version? I installed one from APKMIRROR, (940-175121617), which is suppose to be the one for android 8, but everytime i restart phone it will be replaced with (448-177350961)

I personally think the Chinese rom is the best rom for our Mate's, but unfortunately, I think that because Google is blocked is China, Android Pay may NEVER work for us (for me I'm in the US using the Chinese rom). I tried for 5 days straight and couldn't get it working correctly. I hope you have better luck than I did
If all fails maybe can rebrand the rom to your region?

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.

could you confirm the subversion sent in italy from vmall.eu ?? it is PLK-L01? could also confirm that it works with sim LTE Wind?
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?

I bought Sharp Aquos S2 from TWN, evething works fine with original play store except Sharp widget does not work (System UI no permission). Don't know how to set permission system UI?
PS: reset several times but does not work.
Please help.
Thank you
Kinda off-topic but how did You get google play store to work on Aquos S2?
I can't install it at all. Did You have it preinstalled on your phone?
I bought from Taiwan, it has google play store original but the problem is the phone widget is N/A.

Lucky You with play store preinstalled. I'd suggest you to simple get rid off original widget and install any other widget from google play store. The original one is not working for me either (N/A). I'm gonna keep fighting with mine. Does anyone know how to enter recovery mode on S2? I was able to boot in safe mode (power + volume down) but idk what's the combination for recovery. Maybe under recovery mode I'll be able to install all those google services. I was also unable to root this device.
If anyone got some info how to install google services on this I'd appreciate it!
Cheers,
Hi, first lucky owners of this brand new phone; could you share any benchmarks, please?

You must install Google Play Services in order to have Google Play Store and other Google apps. Both apps can be found here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/.

This is exacly what I did. I've checked dpi, android version, cpu architecture. I've installed services, framework, account, play store in order. Still no luck. I've also installed google installer which is downloading all neccesary services automaticaly and... same story. Everything installs without any problem but it freezes when I want to open any google app.
Have You installed gaaps on Sharp S2 without those apps being preinstalled?
Actually, I haven't. I had Gapps preinstalled this time. But I had some Chinese phones before and not all of them came with Gapps. I never had problem with installing them.
S2 has plenty options to set rights and restrictions per app. They are in 3 sectors - under SIM settings (about use of networks), apps settings and S boost. I couldn't get internet radio working before I assign necessary rights to it. Have you checked that you gave all gapps needed rights?
Hm.. Maybe I've found the problem. Under SIM and S-boost everything looks good. In apps settings I'm unable to give "get location" for Google Services. I can see it needs "access precise location" to work. Can You tell me whether You have "get location" set for google services on your phone?
I gave GPS all possible permissions. Always.
Well, I can't. The phone is crashing when I want to swipe "location: ON" in google services. It freezes, going black-screen and then going back to settings. It's exacly the same when I want to allow Google Services Framework to read/write instant messages (as far as I can see online those two are by default OFF anyway). All the other permissions for all google apps are ON. Also, most of the other apps with location needed are crashing when I have gaaps installed. Idk why I cant give it all permissions, didn't find any similar problem online.

Then, it seems that the problem is serious. When I bought the phone I noticed that the system has flaws, so first thing I did was factory reset. Even after that I still have two errors, fingerprint scanner is slow and sometimes after unlocking the screen just turns blank and after using power button it turns out that phone is unlocked already. And after every resetting the phone Android Pay simply disappeared and has to be enabled in Google Play again. I've gotten one OTA already and nothing regarding both issues has been changed.
I guess you have 3 options: factory reset and set all bunch of Gapps again, returning the phone or waiting for next OTA. It is obvious that the problem is on the sw side and it is in proprietary Smile UI system precisely.
Hopefully they gonna sort it out soon.
Yeah, exacly. I've already done factory reset multiple times. I'm installing proper version of google service and I can't give it location permisions. I'm almost sure I'm doing everything right.
Gonna wait for OTA, I'll use it without play store atm.
I have no problems at all with fingerprint sensor and unlocking. I think we might have slightly different softwares. Can You tell me whats your ROM version? Mine is 00CN_1_27L with android patched September 1, 2017. Kernel Version 4.4.21

Mine is 00WW_1_27L and that is the difference. WW stays for worldwide and CN for china (kernels are the same). And WW has Gapps installed. But it has other issues caused by incorrect android system modification (smile UI).
Result of that erroneous system is obviously in Gapps failure. My previous phone was Chinese (there was ww version as well), without Gapps, but system was good and I had no troubles installing Gapps.
I understand - thanks for information. I guess I'll have to wait for root manual and flash rom to WW in future.
You don't need root, just OTA or factory image. If I were you, I'd ask both the seller and Sharp for it Describing troubles and they might hear you.
Sharp didn't even reply. Seller said that I bough device with CN rom and it is as it is. They are both kinda right. How can I OTA with region change? I dont think I can use factory image as my image is CN atm. WW images are not available online.
It's the same kernel, exactly the same hw, there is no difference, only the system. You can flash either ww ota or factory image. Another problem is to get any if supplier doesn't cooperate.
Hello folks,
Did anyone besides me try to get Google Pay (and its "payment in stores"-feature - NFC Payment) to work?
The bank/card I'm using supports Google Pay but as soon as I'm finishing the adding procedure of the card, there's a notification saying I won't be able to pay with it in stores.
Now after I've talked to my bank's support and Google Pay support (who give cryptic answers though) it seems like the Google Pay App just doesn't want to work with the Honor 10.
Which is why I would like to know if there is someone who got GPay to work in their Honor 10.
Thanks in advance for suggestions or sharing experiences!

Check for playstore certification .
If its uncertified its the issue.
On my Honor 10 it works perfectly even with Magisk installed.
In some reviews I heard that in the Chinese version (6gb ram) Gpay did not work.
If you have chinese version - you have answer.

There should be a default "wallet" app that comes with the phone, when opening it it shows up as "google wallet". However i did notice that when trying to search for it on the play store it doesnt come up.....maybe your right and it was substituted, but i know the "wallet" app came with the phone.
If you havent uninstalled it, then launch that and give it a try, if you have already uninstalled it then i'm not sure what options we have available.

Hey, thanks again.
The only Wallet app that was on my Phone is the Huawei Wallet – which doesn't work for me (in Germany as it seems). I can't add anything there, it'll give me an error instead.
Also, could you maybe describe what exactly didn't work for you before and what does work now?
And do you have the COL-AL10 as well? (mine is the 64gb / 6gb China version – there is no 6gb global version, is there?)
I was now able to add the card to Google Pay successfully so it even shows the card in the Payment ("Zahlung") Tab in the App.
But I still can't get the contactless payment to work. It always says it "Wasn't possible to configure the card for contactless payment in stores".

Mine is the COL-TL10. (6gb 128gb version)
The way the issue would occur for me is, i would go click on google pay, and it would just keep trying to load.....forever, one time i managed to get in then as soon as i tried to add a card it crashed again.
But as mentioned this was all fixed after opening that wallet app (i assume the first launch of it installed something in the background that prevented the crash), how google pay loads up and works perfectly.
It seems we have different phone versions, perhaps that could be why there is the difference with the wallets.
Sorry i couldn't have been of more help

Yes. Reset - delete chinese apps - install gapps. But Google Services Framework is unable to install. Didn't install gms. After that I tried to add bank card in Google pay - and the card is unable to be added into Google pay.
I am using a s9+ bought from China with the stock firmware in Australia.
I have got google play store installed and have no problem to use all the feature except the google pay.
The issue is that I cannot activate any card in google pay even though they are all google pay supported card. I can add the card but it stucked the last step: verifying your card with the bank .
There is no issue with the saftynet check and the phone is not rooted.
It seemed that a lot of people reported the similar issue on xiaomi and huawei phone with China rom. Not sure what really caused this?
Anyone has the idea?
Thank you.

My first recommendation is use Samsung Pay instead. It's the most widely accepted and easiest NFC payment option. If you prefer Google Pay I suggest backing up your data with Samsung Smart Switch, do a Factory Reset. This will allow you to get the most recently updated Google Account. After completing setup, make sure your device has the latest software update. Download and reinstall Google Pay and try settting up the account.
I bought and first activated my Samsung Note 8 in Saudi Arabia a couple years ago. The phone is still in factory state. It is still going great except since then I moved to Philippines and are now using it in Philippines with Philippine numbers in it.
Unfortunately I found out that Playstore refuses to install some localized apps I would like to use. The problem apps do not even show up in a Playstore search. One such app is GCash. I have to download the apk and install manually. The issue now is that it will not update through the Playstore and every couple weeks I have to re-download the apk and manually update it. A major pain coz i only find out when I need it. Another apk that I had to manually install was Angkas. Luckily something changed with this app and as of recently it updates through the Playstore. I tried but obviously spoofing a location wasnt going to work anyway since I am already in Philippines.
Can this be fixed in phone, Playstore or google account settings that I can quickly change or is this some deep down factory setting for which a fix is a bit more involved? Would maybe a factory reset resolve the issue? Any suggestions or pointing me to a source for resolving the problem would be appreciated.

I couldn't figure out how a VPN would help but I earlier played around with it anyway. Could not get any joy out of it. My Playstore account is already set to Philippines.
I looked up xmlpak, not sure how it really works and I am reluctant to try it. Seems I would need to install the manager and the xmlpak and still no guarantee it would work. Besides there seems to be some issues reported with it. Will keep this as a last resort option.
Would really like to try to solve the issue through the phone setup if possible.
Try AURORA STORE: it's an alternate to Google's Play Store, with an elegant design, using Aurora you can download apps, update existing apps, search for apps, get details about in-app trackers, spoof your location and much more.

I bought and first activated my Samsung Note 8 in Saudi Arabia a couple years ago. The phone is still in factory state. It is still going great except since then I moved to Philippines and are now using it in Philippines with Philippine numbers in it.
Unfortunately I found out that Playstore refuses to install some localized apps I would like to use. The problem apps do not even show up in a Playstore search. One such app is GCash. I have to download the apk and install manually. The issue now is that it will not update through the Playstore and every couple weeks I have to re-download the apk and manually update it. A major pain coz i only find out when I need it. Another apk that I had to manually install was Angkas. Luckily something changed with this app and as of recently it updates through the Playstore. I tried but obviously spoofing a location wasnt going to work anyway since I am already in Philippines.
Can this be fixed in phone, Playstore or google account settings that I can quickly change or is this some deep down factory setting for which a fix is a bit more involved? Would maybe a factory reset resolve the issue? Any suggestions or pointing me to a source for resolving the problem would be appreciated.
