This is the proper way to install Google services - Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

First of all this method isn't perfect and sometimes when you install an app from the playstore you just have to pull down the notification tray and select disable notifications but I can download any app and update apps using this method from a video I'm going to show you also in the video the guy says to reset your phone but I didn't and mines working fine - https://youtu.be/lYOU_YxrHhc and here are some screenshot of my phone to prove it

Proper will be when push notifications will work.

a proper guide will be if at LEAST notifications can be easily swapped with the play store working with a simpler way.
but the best would be ofcource that both work without problems.

"Proper" is when the notifications are working.

thre are many ways and they all work, and as everyone has said, its when notification works
so what works in that video that does not work elsewhere

It's good that you share but this is not "proper" unfortunately. There have been countless of methods in the last few months(all pretty much the same) and they usually bring the exact same problem.
I sold my Mate 30 Pro because I didn't like the workarounds which couldn't provide a good solution. I am regularly checking what's going on and when a working method pops up I will gladly buy one of theses devices again.

[Q] Google Fit not counting steps

Hello,
I am pretty new to Huawei and its software. I tried to get Google Fit counting my steps like it did on my Samsung phone before, but nothing happens, the activity counter stays at 0.
Also, it does not transfer any data to my Lifesum app. Any days what may cause this problem?
Thank you for your help, I used the search but did not find any clue.

hi, you can use huawei widget health
theres even a option in menu to put counting steps in lockscreen
I had this problem too after previously using Google Fit on another device and then trying to use it on my P9. My Google Fit now counts steps correctly after I went into Google Fit settings and clicked on Delete History. Sure you lose prior data, but that was the only way I could get it to work.

Huawei health don't really integrate to any other apps, so not an options in this case

Push notifications not working for some apps

Seems 3t struggles with same issues like it's predecessor, not receiving push notifications from some apps. In my case it's gmail and nine. For whatsapp it works fine.
Despite all apps I need are excluded from battery optimization not changing anything. Anyone experiencing same issue?

not recievin push nots either. wat does i do about it
Did you, by any chance, used Titanium Backup to restore apps from another phone?
If so, there you are. Apps with push notifications doesn't work properly if restore with Titanium.
Reinstall them from the play store.
Nope

I dont in fact see any pattern when notifications are working and when they are not working
Sometimes I am getting instant notifications, sometimes I have to unlock phone to receive them. Excluding apps from battery optimization does not make any difference
I use the phone and Newton for almost one week and I did not see any notification from the app at all and I receive a lot of emails daily.
Do you guys have blocked play services for backrgound connections?
I had done that and didnt recieve any notificiation anymore.
The Doze mode from developer options is the one causing it.

And how we fix that? I've got the same problem with the OnePlus 3 using Deviant Art app and I'm worried to have the same issue with the 3T!
Enviado desde mi Moto X
have you noticed any improvement after updating to 3.5.4?
Try the following:
Step 1: Go to Settings > Battery
Step 2: Go to "Battery optimization" option from the top-right menu icon.
Step 3: Select "All apps" from the options to bring the list all the apps on which doze mode is enabled.
Step 4: Choose any of the apps on which you need to disable doze mode.
Step 5: Tap "Don't optimize" and then hit "Done".
This was my first thing to check - unfortunately didnt worked.
i need 10:crying:
Just wanted to bump this thread and see if there's a fix? Getting push notifications on Nine is extremely important for my job. I only get them reliably if I'm actively using my phone. "not optimized" for aggressive doze does not seem to help.
only the stock rom has this issue i was using grond zero rom but since i got my device from last 4 days , but has some issues like GPS and touch issue so i wanted to see if i have those issues in stock rom too or not so i flashed yesterday 4.0.2 and my notifications are also not working unless i open the app

This is exactly the same for me.
Gmail is the main App affected by this problem, but it is not the only App.
I tried the following settings (see screenshots - in French - in the attached file) :
- disable Doze mode in the Developer Options
- In the Battery Menu :
- Disable the aggressive doze and app hibernation option
- Disable the auto-close of "greedy" application
- In the App Menu/Setting Icon/Special Access/Battery Optimisation I white listed my fav Apps (Gmail, WhatsApp, ...)
None of this settings have totally solved the problem, which is really anoying for Gmail as I miss some important info because of delayed notifications (and sometimes no notification at all).
I opened a ticket at OnePlus : https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/random-delay-with-push-notificatio-ns.500958/
EDIT : I'm running the last version of OOS and doesn't use Greenify or such a kind of optimisation App
"Heartbeat fixer" app in Play Store did the trick for me! Also you have "push notification fix" in Play Store. Gime them a try.

(How to Fix) Not receiving notifications fix!

With the way Huawei forces their "power saving" down our throats you are likely not getting all of your notifications for things like news apps and social media apps etc. I like their idea on trying to find ways to consume less battery, but man they are aggressive on the way they do it. Here is a fix that should work on all Huawei branded phones.
Step 1: First go to settings, advanced settings, battery manager and then to protected apps. Look for the app that you want to receive notifications from and then select "protect it".
Step 2: Go to settings, apps, advanced, ignore battery optimizations, then find the app and ignore it. This sounds kind of weird when you select ignore the app, but actually this means to allow it to run....... basically you are telling battery optimization function to ignore that particular app. Also known as "Doze"
Step 3: Go to settings, notifications panel & status bar, notification center, then find the app, then activate "allow notifications" and also "priority display". You must select priority or you won't get the notifications.
Works perfect for me. I spent countless hours trying to figure out why I didn't get notifications from my news apps and it drove me crazy. BTW....I have not experienced any battery drain at all.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO HIT MY THANKS BUTTON!!!
Solution already brought up on the 4th of July!

Hi, I have to say that Step 3 is not convincing.
Enabling priority display allow notification to appear during "do not disturb" mode. I don't want to be woke up during the night.

That is correct, but if you don't set priority you won't get the notification . Been there and done that ready. You can try not setting priority and see if works different for you, but when I turn off priority for the app I do not get the notification.
Please let me know if yours works differently as I am interested.

If you are right, then Huawei software developer must be brainless. For god sake, why on the earth getting a simple notification is so freaking complicated??
I'll try to set priority notifications, but even if it works it's not a solution for me.
I'll let you know man.
Thank you.
This one is working for sure, i found this solution out myself.
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.

This sure would have been nice to have had this info prior to my 2 days of trial & error to get things working. As I do not receive or read all news outlets in regards to this phone, as is the case with many others, this was my sole purpose of my posting it here for others. In July I wasn't even considering this phone....actually I didn't even know this phone existed then. Another reason for my posting the info here. Luckily we have this forum as a go to place.

Thanks, but uninstall Phone Manager was the only fix for me to get notifications working again. I hope they fix this in Nougat and emui 5.0.
It is perfect working solution to move viber, whatsapp... to system/apps partition, than it works as we wish...

I uninstalled phone manager, the method worked and got rid of it, Now I get better notifications but I'm still having the issue, still some notifications are not shown.
Deleting it does not solve 100% of the problem!

Did you select all option to theme or one by one?
So after you select the s8, it will automatically show you options of stuff that is installed on your phone, you can select multiple then install them. Also you can find a theme in be play store called swift for Samsung. It is actually better because the overlays there are designed for the Samsung stuff. Hope this helps. Try it and let me know.
I noticed when i restart my phone, some overlays (eg YouTube Twitter tumblr chrome) get back to the original theme and I have to reinstall the overlays even though it says up-to-date. Does it happen to you guys?

No.....................................
not sure wth is going on, but i'm using substratum with magisk rooted on nemesis rom, it's saying application successful but the settings menu is still white, notification window and QS icons are still white, only the dialer and a few other 3rd party apps got themed using swift black oreo samsung
I had some of my overlays reset on restart the first time. I reinstalled and now they seem to be sticking. YouTube gave me some issues, too. I didn't know about the Samsung variant, so I have the normal Swift Black. It seems to be working under S8 option now. Maybe that is what caused my little glitch.
It was annoying, but I thought it was going to change my notifications, too. It took another 3 hours of searching to get rid of the white notification background. Ugh. But it is worth it to use an almost all black phone.
I will totally be sharing substratum with my friends and family.
I do not take credit for the link, I got it in a YouTube video :

Both installing from backup or APK lead to an error when opening LzPlay. It just shows a single blue button and closes when you press it. I think the error is about the device not being supported, but the translation is really bad.
Firlando,
I have a successful GMS installation. Of course push notification doesn't work well. If I follow your approach of disabling GSF (not reinstalling), will that fix the push problem? If I re-enable GSF late on, will it bring errors back to GMS? Thanks!

Hello community, I have manage around 2 weeks ago to get working the Google services on my p40Pro. What I would like is to have the push notifications working even if the playstore doesn't work. Is there any options out there on this?
I saw new guides out there but they seem to start where the device doesn't have the GMS on it.
Would please anyone guide me on this journey? I am a bit confused and dont want to mess up what I have at the moment on my phone.

i have no problem with my gps. but i cant guarantee this will work on you. You have to finished gms installation with working playstore and gps (i use another method for this). Open and use/play all apps which are gps dependent. Maps, online transportation etc. After a couples hours then i disabled my gsf. My gps still work fine until now. it's been 6 days now

Hey, everything was working out for me, I had to enable GFS for maps that I need it. Now I went back home and start receiving notifications of error that my phone is not certified and it could not log in to all my Gmail accounts...
What can I do now? What would be the best way to fix this.?
Thank you in advise
