Moto Alexa APK - Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers

Hi!
I bought my Z3 from BHPhoto in the US and I got the Alexa speaker mod free, which is great, however I can't use it to the fullest because the Moto Alexa app isn't available here in Canada.
I can only find older versions, which work fine with my old Z2 Play, but just crash constantly with the Z3 ...
Does anybody by any chance know where I can get the latest version?

Good to know this. I'm in Canada and was thinking about that mod. Figures. Moto only concerned with Murica. Lol

Yeah, it's pretty silly, but the mod does still work as a very good speaker at least.
I'm sure they'll get around to translating the app to Canadian soon... :silly:

Just change your location with a VPN to America and it should work fine

Tunnel Bear to the US didn't work, it still tells me it is not available in my country. Anyone find a work around yet?

Market App does not show up anyone (GroupON)

I am in US on ATT. My phone is rooted but I have not installed any custom roms or kernals yet.
I am trying to get the app GROUPON, but in the market it does not show up at all. A version that is meant for JAPAN shows up but no US Version like i had on my previous phone INFUSE.
Any help or anyone can upload the APK I would appreciate it thank you.
That was easy. I didn't even have to upload it

wow that was easy THANK YOU, to bad it is a outdated version but it is WAY better then NOT HAVING one. THANK YOU for the link have it installed now.
Now does anyone know how to fix the issue of it not showing up in market. I am guessing it has to do with the phone being bought overseas. again thank you.
Depends on the firmware/ location your phone came from some apps might not be available to that area. Try flashing a different firmware.
With custom roms the CSC might not match your phone, so you can't purchase from Market even though you can
more current groupon Groupon_1.10.1827
I had the same issue too, i ended up pulling the apk from my atrix. It's a much bigger filesize though. Hope this helps someone
The market thinks you are out of the US. Couldn't find it either....then again Groupon has jumped the shark for me and is no longer interesting to me. That and living social.
They are becoming irritating to me. Neat idea, but annoying these days.

Its cool how sometimes you can score those proto phones. My wife work for Motorola before the split and I got my hands on a Motorola Napoleon. It was like a Moto Q on steroids. Even had a fingerprint scanner. Didn't work too good though.
holyyyyy....is that the nexus 6 prototype with the finger print scanner?
Just flash the latest marshmallow in google page, i have also a engineering version and I've tested many roms from this forum.

I tried that but didn't work the phone is still stuck in fastboot mode! If anyone can help I have team viewer set up so you can remote connect and work from there which is a little easier tried with another dev and no luck.but he only tried with nexus 6 software only.I think it's a moto x pro dev . There is a power button on the back.if anyone else can help that would be great.
Looks like prototype with fingerprint scanner
Can You confirm it?
--Edit--
You'd probably need pre-production OS versions - not even public betas.
Ask Your friend if his company has any system builds.
Most likely it would be only some old, debug versions of Lollipop, but it's always worth to ask.
Yea no luck on getting the software so it's still stuck in fastboot mode.but like you said I'm sure I need a dev system img to get this thing going.and since I'm picking up another nexus 6 today this moto x pro de is up for grabs PM me if anyone in wants to take it off my hands.

Have you tried any moto x pro roms or system images? Not sure if you can get your hands on those but they might be with a try.

[Q] Any issues with Chinese version?

I am thinking of ordering the enhanced 64GB model from a Chinese seller (ebay or aliexpress). This would be the Chinese model. The sellers state that before shipping they install a multi-language ROM and Google Play, and that it will work no problem on my network (Canada).
Does anyone have experience with ordering such a phone? I have looked at the relevant threads on the forums of other Huawei phones and there seems to sometimes be problems with notifications and Chinese bloatware. I am also unclear whether I can expect to receive future OTA updates?
AFAIK at the moment a P9 Chinese version distribution has not yet been announced... and for the P9 the official availability is tomorrow 16th April.
The P9/P9 Plus presentation has been initially dedicated only to the European market, also prices where indicated in Euro, even if that event was held in London...

all I can say is, even with the Chinese ROM, you can get all the google stuff without issues, with the exception being Now on Tap because the Home button is mapped to Huawei's own voice assistant.
i did have some issues with notifs on the Mate 8 but its since received at least 3 updates. My P9 is too new for me to notice any issues

re: bloatware, it's possible to remove up to 90% of that stuff through "HiApp" - huawei's replacement for google playstore ( which is also where you download all the google stuff)

That's great - thanks. My P9 is currently on its way so that's reassuring. I am not bothered about Now on Tap.
Presumably HiApp is in Chinese itself? Is it challenging to navigate around it?

it isn't in Chinese.. Once you've chosen English in your first setup step, all system apps show up in English. with the exception of bloatware. I believe there's a guide here on xda some place teaching folks how to download all the google stuff too. basically you'll need google play obviously, google contacts sync and google calendar sync. these are the basics you need to grab off HiApp. Then you can start using Google Playstore as normal to setup account etc
permissions are important as they are very strict and sometimes restrict first, and never ask later. be sure to check there often. Enjoy!
Just Got Mine Yesterday!
My P9 from a shop on aliexpress just came yesterday... and oh yes, it is pretty awesome! Going to use it a couple days and plan on doing a extensive comparison review to my LG G5 in my series of review called "Some Guy's Review..." I did one comparing LG G5 to the S7 Edge and people seemed to appreciate it... I have no brand loyalty so it a pretty honest review IMO
I try to sum up the general user / pro-user experience... what most people run into and care about.... plus stuff I always look for that are my "musts" for things I do in my daily life...
Not getting deeply into it, here's a quick 12-hour impression:
1. Design - It's a pretty phone, I got mine in Gold because the 64GB / 4GB only comes in Gold in China (EVA-AL10 Version is Chinese Version of EVA-L29 International Dual SIM). Let's say a Sony Xperia Z5 and an Iphone had a wild sexual encounter.... the result is a Huawei P9 (Basically an all metal Z5)
2. Snappiness - This phone rocks... didn't slow down even during setup... have yet to notice it heat up either! Have to put it through my grueling non-scientific testing of playing Clash Royale... hahaha. Really though, I won't do a AnTuTu or anything like that because those tests are pretty much meaningless to real world experience usage. Hope to have more later
3. Camera - have yet to take a "real" picture with it... tried it out, seems to have a lot of custom settings and a really good "pro" mode. more to come
4. Battery - seems spot on to all recent Huawei Phones, big, long lasting (that's what she said.... :silly: :good
5. EMUI - I am actually a fan of EMUI... especially with another launcher laid over (I use a HTC Sense Launcher Port). The amount of customization may annoy the regular user... but coming from having a Huawei Mate 8, I understand what you need to do to get everything working like you like. I will give more details later if it suffers from the "sleeping sickness" as I call it... this is where due to all the great battery customizations Huawei throws in, certain app notifications stop working after awhile because the app goes into hibernation and never comes out... time will only tell.
Look for a review probably Monday or Tuesday! I may even do a 3-way just for fun....!!! :good: :highfive: (3-way review... get your mind out of the gutter... hahaha)
I received my eva-dl00 yesterday. (Chinese Dual-Sim 32GB) from Ibuygou.com
Everythings seems to be ok, but Contact Syncing is not working. Any hint?
First impression: Nice phone, very solid quality! But coming from Vanilla....i don´t like EMUI.
Maybe i have to get used to it.
But the P9 with Stock Android would be awesome!
How are u finding notifications inflow? They come on time or with delays?? IMs like Whatsapp Telegram etc giving instant notification even when phone sleeps for 30 plus mins?
Seems to be ok. But it is only a first impression. Could be wrong.
Has anyone from Europe tried if the dual sim works for Chinese version ?

I just got mine today. EVA-AL10. Beautiful phone. Works with cricket no problem... i was trying it out with my verizon sim didnt work. Seems to work well, but some of the stuff are in chinese like browser. Slowly removing the bloat and adding other software to it.
what did everyone end up doing when they first receive the phone? I factory reset it and downloaded google play store from hi app. I needed contacts sync and calendar sync so i downloaded from apk mirror. I downloaded gmail and everything. Its been a while since i came back from droid. I was with apple for a while. Last droid I had was a htc evo. Can't seem to get my contacts on this phone.

Moto Actions APK - Moto E5 Plus [request]

Hi, I recently bought an E5 Plus which I'm pretty pleased with so far. Unfortunately although it has some of the advertised Moto Actions, the two I wanted (chop for torch and twist for camera) are absent. I asked support and they said they aren't available on the UK model, bugger that.
Might anyone be able to post a link to a Moto Actions APK from the US model (or just any model with these actions) so I can try installing that and get it working? I haven't had much luck finding a safe download so far.
Many thanks!

Using VOG-AL00 in Europe (Spain). What works and what doesnt works?

Hi! I finally decided to register and participate.
A good friend of mine is in Shanghai right know, and I ask him to buy the P30 PRO there for me, since it´s only 590€ at the moment.
I´ll be posting my personal experience with the chinesse version on this post, but first I wanted to ask some questions.
- Chinese version is ONLY labeled as VOG AL00 right?
- What can I expect? Any problems installing google services or using other language than chinese?
- How do the chinese versions of huawei phones usually do with firmware updates?
- Anything I should know?
Thank you all!
also would like to know..
also VOG AL00 is one chinese models but there more.. for example from GSM Arena Versions: ELE-L29, ELE-L09 (Global); ELE-AL00, ELE-TL00 (China)
but I think there are more than just those 2 maybe an AL10 or something like that. I'm pretty sure if it is not going to start with L (after the dash) then it is not intl
Hi there, I bought a VOG-AL00 as well, but I'm currently in Brazil. Everything seems to work fine besides "wallets" (NFC payments does not work) and "Ok Google Voice Match". The voice match will only work when you have a Google app opened on your screen (such Maps, Assistance, and etc.).
I really would like to find some way to fix these issues, specially my NFC payments.
are there anyway to fix that problem with NFC ? I have the same VOG-AL00 model and live in Brazil whowever I cand return the cellphone to change to a global one..

I also have a P30 Pro from China (also a VOG-AL00) with all the Chinese software on it without Play Store.
What is your experience with this phone? Is the hardware exactly the same? Any problems? Did you flash it?
Because I'm wondering if it is possible to flash it to a normal global firmware. I've included a screenshot of the device specs. I would like to use it here in Europe without the Chinese software. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

Didn't buy it in the first place, but just installing Google play is the best option that's available I guess.

How did you managed to sync Google contacts?
I'm logged in, but can't sync the Google contacts..

It looks impossible to get the Google Contacts synced
/edit
Google contact sync apk, did the trick.
VOG-AL10 with Android 9.1 and 10, google play store installed with apks, everything I need is working good, nfc pay with my bank wallet application, share location and so on. I don't realy know if phone clone from a Samsung phone helped me or not.
BR,
tengo un P30 PRO VOG-L29 quieres cambia?
