Hi All,
I have searched and tried many solutions on the net and still can't get my Google Now to work. Every time when attempt to start Google Now, it tells me there is an network error. I have tried the below, and so far no luck, and it is very very frustration. Please help!!!!
1. Paused all account history and cleared out past histories.
2. Under Google Settings -> Search & Now -> Now Cards -> Delete card preferences
3. Deleted Google account on my phone and re login
4. Tried an older version of Google Now, login, then update to the newest version.
The funny thing is when I used my wife's google account, Google Now pulls right now. It seems like my google account is messed up? Thank you guys in advance!
just tried my google account on my wife's phone, and it gave me the same error. i really think something is wrong with my google account and i have no idea where it went wrong.
Buying beers for someone who helps me figure this out. It's really bothering me!
got access to Google Now with VPN to a UK server. think this google now issue is a location issue. I do seem to have problem wiping my location history. no one else is having this problem?

So i was using Pure Nexus rom 7.0 for my nexus 6. And i was using 2 step verification with sms option.
But because i was logging in a lot out of my PC and didn't receive the sms codes sometimes, i decided to try Google Authenticator app. Biggest nightmare of my life.
I disabled the sms option to try make the app the default way for using 2 step verification.
Then a Pure Nexus Nougat 7.1.1 rom came out and i wiped everything, without making a nandroid backup (yes i know, so stupid of me).
When i wanted to logged in to my account it asked for a code from Google Authenticator app which is not installed in my phone so i had no way to log in.
I had to ask from help from Google which is apparently has the worst costumer services i have ever seen. I filled the account recovery form which asks me when i created my google account(like i would ever remember) and then i ask me to provide all the details i can.
This week my 5th request to recovery for the account was rejected. Sadly, i get an auto email from google telling me that they couldn't verify i'm the rightful owner. They asked me for more details, but wont tell what details that could be. i have no idea what can i do to prove then im the owner.
What a disappointment from google that i cant even attach photos to the request and that all they do is to tell me to provide more details with an auto message, with no guidance.
Oh, and btw i posted in the google nexus forum and was told the exact same thing as the auto -reply email.
Anyone here had he's account recovered and can tell what detail to provide?
Isn't there an option to get the authentication code via SMS?

Yep. I used it more times than I want to count, in trying to resolve OK Google issues on Pure Nexus.
You can still choose to obtain SMS with verification code which will be automagically pasted in appropriate field.
Just look around your UI before lashing out.
i have one Nexus 6 with NBD91P build which is locked with google account (FRP),
i tried almost everything in order to bypass it, but nothing worked for me till now,
dirty-c0w exploit doesn't work also,
any ideas ?

Yeah. Get ahold of the account owner. There are some tut around on how to get past it, You will need an otg flash drive to do it. I know it works as I had to do it to a few devices this weekend and it worked on all of them without fail. Completely bypassed all security.

As i mentonied i canceled the sms option because i wanted the app authenticator to be the default option
i cant access 2 step verifcation setting because i cant it asks me to relog again to the account and asking the code from the app, so im stuck.
How else can i enabled sms option again?

There should be a link that says something like "Having trouble?" below the field where you would enter the authenticator code. Tap that and you will get a list of options, one of which is to verify via text message.
Getting such a text does not change defaults.

I get a message saying "problems with your code?" When trying to add a google account to my phone. When i press it i get the Google authentication app or contact google with recovery option which i tried many times. No sms option
Here are the option i get
Just to cover one more possibility that you haven't mentioned, did you not print the 10 authentication codes that you can use for exactly your situation?
Failing that, maybe zelendel can give you some advice on the procedure he mentioned above?
Edit: on rereading the thread, maybe I'm getting confused because mirosaw2 has posted a question which seems to be related to his device, not his account, and therefore (if I'm correct) should not have been posted in this thread because it's a different question and zelendel's answer doesn't apply to the OP's problem.
Here is the link to the tut that I used. It worked across a few devices.

There are two different discussions going on. However, you are correct in that he should have the emergency codes. If he doesn't, he should be able to get them easily enough.

well it looks like you'll just have to contact google and let them help you.
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
"he should be able to get them easily enough"
But if he hasn't got access to his account, and Google are playing hardball, how can he get the codes now?
By signing in on his PC. Unless he didn't click the box near where it says "Don't ask again on this computer" on the Google sign-in screen, he won't need an authentication code to access his account. Other devices and services requiring access to Google still need to go through the authenticator.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem. I understand that the OP doesn't have access to his Google account at all, therefore he can't validate his phone, but also can't sign into Google on his PC. Maybe he can clarify that for me?

He set up the Google Authenticator on his N6 because of his frequently accessing his Google account on the PC. Apparently he disabled SMS retrieval in his account, and then wiped his device. Now when he tries to activate the account on the N6 he can't because the account requires an authentication token. Google cannot verify that he is who he says he is and thus will not give him a code.
Unless he set up his PC to automatically authenticate his account upon login, he won't be able to authenticate his account. That means he's locked out of everything and will have to make a new account. He'll also have to find a way to bypass FRP on the N6, as he'll get locked out trying to activate.
Hi, All
I'm using P20 Pro CLT-L04, 8.1.0.122 (C792). Just found out that Google Calendar event's location picture won't show up under Schedule display mode, once added an event with a specific location, it shows the location picture for just a couple of seconds, then its gone. Anyone has the same issue? It works perfectly fine on my P10+ phone with Android 8.0, using the same Google login account.
Could anyone help for checking this to see if you have the same issue? Thanks.

All is working fine here. Try to delete cache and data.
Thank u so much. What I found the odd is that as long as I turned the Sync Calendar option off, the location picture stays, once turned that option on, the pictures were gone right away.
Not sure if it's because I used the same Google account on 2 different versions of android phones, one 8.1, another 8.0 which location pics works without issue.
Due to my company's policy, we need to register the mobile phones using MS Intune Company Portal and can use only Outlook app for the official mails and calendar. Both these apps can be downloaded via Aurora Store but the registration of the device fails due to the Google Play Protect check during the enrollment of the device. The 2nd step during enrollment fails with an error message regarding the network connection or something similar. After struggling with this for almost a week, I finally found some workarounds. Hope this is useful for someone.
For Mails:
I use Blue Mail for all my other mails and was using this with my official mails (Office 365) as well, till about a year ago when the company admins introduced a strict check of Outlook app with Intune Portal as the only way to receive the official mails. Since then I had been using both the MS apps for my official mails in my previous Samsung phone. But this stopped working after I moved over to Huawei due to the GPP check mentioned above. Here's the workaround for it:
This will work only if you have web access to your official emails i.e. you are able to use the a broswer to check your official emails.
In Blue Mail, add new account (instead of using Office 365, use Exchange).
Enter full email address and password.
Check Automatic.
Uncheck ActiveSync. Click Next.
For the Exchange Server setting, use the exchange server URL being used by your company. Typically, it is the 1st 3 in the url of your web access to the outlook email. In a lot of cases, this would be outlook.office365.com
Security - SSL/TLS.
If you see a dropdown Access Type, select EWS (Exchange Web Services). Do not select Automatic or ActiveSync.
That should work. The office365 outlook emails should be visible in Blue Mail. The calendar is not synced with this workaround. The needs a different route in.
For Calendar:
I use Google Calendar for all my other activities and so I wanted to add my outlook entries to GCal to have them all in one place.
The easiest way is to publish your calendar from Outlook Office 365 and import it as a URL in GCal.
Steps:
Go to the web view of your outlook.
Click on the Settings icon.
Click "View All Outlook Settings".
Go to Calendars->Shared Calendars.
Click on the ICS Link and click "Copy Link".
This can now be imported in the google calendar as a separate new calendar but the issue is that any updates to your outlook calendar are synced 1-2 times a day only. If that is fine go ahead and import it. I wanted the sync to happen every 5-10 min.
For this, you can use the GAS-ICS-Sync script from GitHub (https://github.com/derekantrican/GAS-ICS-Sync)
Follow the installation and run instructions on the site. You can configure how often the calendar should sync etc in the code.gs file.
Hope this helps someone

Hi all,
I was using my Huawei P40 lite with my company's Intune app and everything was working perfectly fine.
A few days ago, it seems like Intune underwent a major update, and it now requires Google Mobile Services and Google Play Store to download the apps and securize corporate data. It would also now duplicate all apps on your phone's to create a pro environment separated from the normal private environment. Hence now all apps used for pro and private purpose should be duplicated (pro securized outlook app VS private outlook for private mails / one securized google Play store to download a limited set of certified pro apps VS the complete Google play store for private use.
Since my company is forcing to update to the new Intune, looks like the enrollment will fail in Intune on P40 phone with GMS ban. I get the process started, but it will freeze after a few steps, probably when trying setup the Pro environment and installing the Pro Google Play Store on the phone...
- Do you know if this new version of Intune with Google Play Store to securize the company's apps and data is standard or only tailored for my company ?
- If standard, is there any workaround for phones without GMS, or is Huawei/Microsoft working on an alternative for Huawei's P40s ?
I have not found anything so far and I just dont feel like changing to another phone.
Thanks very much for your time.

I was exactly in your situation and stuck at the same place as you mention, that is why I posted the above workaround. You don't need Intune Portal or Outlook if you follow the steps in my post. The only precondtion being that you have access to your web outlook mails through a browser. For now, this is what is working for me. I'm hoping MS and Huawei will work out a permanent solution soon, but haven't heard anything specific regarding this.
My wife's company also uses Intune. She can't complete the setup. Somewhere in the last step, the setup freezes on some "getting company resources" or something. She submitted a ticket to their IT department but for now there is zero activity over there. I guess this requirement for the GMS is breaking everything. :/ I will try your suggestion, I hope it works. Thanks for the hints.

I havent tried yet. But i cannot access my company's email login to outlook.com from a non-corporate PC. It says my company does not allow.
I learned a bit more about this issue. Turns out it is not only about having Google Mobile Services on your phone or not. Actually Intune now provides the option to the admins to to block Android enrollments by device manufacturer. My company is British, they apprently blocked Huawei devices in their settings... you got the story... so dumb... Not sure something can be done until politics get back to normal.

Exactly!! Mine too had blocked access to Huawei devices in the enrollments that is what was preventing the access. The web access though works from any OS and browser so the above workaround should work for you (presuming the admins have allowed the access to outlook web mail. This too can be blocked in the config settings of the mail server but most companies allow it since it doesn't store anything locally on the phones). Give it a go and see if it works for you.

Hi again,
To report back - I was able to set the BlueMail emails using your method. The only thing I was having as a problem was that there were no notifications on new email. I had to switch from "Push" to "fetch on some interval" and the phone started getting the notifications. I excluded the app from all battery things but the "Push" method didn't work. :/ If you have some hints it would be great - I am not sure does this fetch method on 3 mins impact battery so much? If not then let it be.
I haven't still tried the solution for the calendar but I have to try it soon.
P.S.
My wife's P40 Pro is HMS+microg setup.
Thanks again for your insights.

Fantastic!! :good:
I would suggest to leave the Fetch on for a day and see how the battery is impacted. The Fetch normally wakes the app in the background and sends a fetch request to the mail server. Theoretically, it shouldn't be a big battery drain.
For my phone, the push notifications are working fine since I'm using the Freeze GSF method (with GMS) to get the notifications working for all the apps. My config HMS+GMS+Frozen GSF.
I've read about conflict issues if you have microG and GMS together on the same phone, so this method may not work for you.
If in the future, you decide to reset the phone, then give it (HMS+GMS+Frozen GSF) a try. That way, all the apps are updated via Aurora Store+Huawei Store, all the notifications and location services for all the apps are working fine. All Huawei updates and Google Play Services updates too work.

Tried as per this method. Via EWS the error is "Cannot connect to the server". With ActiveSync it works but downloads just one message saying I must enroll via Portal. ..
I have installed Intune Portal. For that, I needed to downgrade my firmware to .131, install googlefier as per the instructions, upgrade the firmware once again to .157, periodically suppressing series of annoying notifications "Your device is not certified for Play Protect, Google services will not run" (despite I have registered my GWS Device ID with this account and disabled all notifications from Play market already!).
Now Google Services work moreless OK (Play Market works, so do all apps, but the annoying messages keep popping up).
But then Intune only able to create work profile, when going to "Activate your profile" step it generates a lot of "Device not certified for Play Protect" and then finally says "Could not connect to the server, network may be down" etc. No certificate is created on server, nothing. After that, Intune disables itself.
UPDATE: Here Microsoft writes something on the matter. I understand the problem is driven by some specific corporate policies configured in a way to rely on GMS (whilst it can potentially be also delivered without them). Will check with admins if this can be amended somehow.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/intune/apps/manage-without-gms
@schtirtliz - That is correct. Its due to the reliance on GMS which in some ways is mitigated by using the sideloaded GMS (using Googlify etc.). The main problem is with the Google Play Protect for which there is no workaround yet. Updating the policies on the main server is an option, another could be to ask the admins to enable the web access (EWS). EWS will sooner or later be made obsolete so this workaround may not last too long. Hopefully by then MS would have figured out a way

Update. I have managed to install GMS with another instructions from here https://youtu.be/XvFQkavPZnk
All apps work perfectly now, no errors.
However, Intune still does not work. Once it creates work profile, it clones all Google stuff into it, and immediately new "badged" version of Google Play starts to generate same Play Protect errors and block further progress (unbadged one keeps working well).
Is there any way to sideload and install "GMS fix.apk" under work profile? Maybe via adb etc.? I tried but it says no access to shell... how does that cloning process work, why does it clone some unpatched version rather than taking patched one from the system files?
Thanks!
I doubt that would work since the Work profile is created to prevent exactly this i.e. installing patched apks or using root hiding apps for rooted devices.

I managed to get both email and calendar using "Nine - Email & Calendar" from Play Store. I'm using gsf freeze, and also have Vanced microG installed. Installed GMS this summer, don't use googlify. Only hoping it will last..
Used the settings from first post:
-full email ([email protected], CN = Common Name from AD), not my [email protected]
- Exchange Server instead of Office 365
- SSL/TLS
Did not have a choice to uncheck ActiveSync, so this is checked.
