After GMS install, what works/doesn't work? - Huawei P40 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello
I'm about to get a P40 Pro.
Just to go there with open eyes: assuming I install GMS successfully following one of the guides in this form, what limitations are left? If any.
Google pay works?
Bank apps?
Netflix?
...
Just to know what I am getting into
Thanks

Netflix should work but you're gonna get crap, non-HD quality because of Widevine L3 DRM. So I wouldn't bother with Netflix on this phone.
Google Pay - haven't tested so I can't tell if it works, but probably not.
Banking apps - some work, some don't. Better do research whether your banking app works on this phone. I got lucky and mine works even without GMS.
Overall, I don't think installing GMS on P40 is worth it. Mainly because of notification issues - you don't get notifications for many apps. Recently I decided to "freeze" Google Services Framework to get my notifications back. If I ever feel like going back to GMS, I'll just unfreeze it without having to reinstall.

Authenticator works. Calendar notifications works.
Gmail notifications doesn't work for me.
All the banking apps I use are working.
Uber is working even with frozen Gsf.
Maps work, but the first time after a restart it takes a bit longer to detect location.

Does the freeze help better with the majority if not all of the notifications? The main app I need is Pushover and I can't get ANY notifications on it without loading the app, everything else has worked fine for what I need it for

Is there a definitive list of what does and what does not work on the P40 Pro especially interested in banking apps for the UK. I've used a P30 Pro since launch day but currently on a iPhone 11 Pro Max but desperately want to switch back to Android and the P40 Po. Can it be used daily without GSM in the UK?

Which banking app in particular are you interest in as I am from the uk also? I personally haven't had issues with my Monzo banking or the majority of the apps as I get notifications on whatsapp and fb messenger but there are some without working notifications without gms enabled

I mainly use Nationwide Santander Barclaycard and Tesco Club card. Is there any contact less payment options as well with the P40?

How are you finding using the P40 on a daily basis, would you recommend it and what are the pitfalls? I can pick one up for around £450 and it's so tempting to give it a go.

tbh the only apps im missing is messages (rcs chat isn't missed till you dont have it haha), and photos. if notifications and chat worked for messages id probably attempt to download gms for that alone

For messages the notifications are working, rcs not even after installing Google carrier services.
But the main issue o had was contacts stopped showing there, and sometimes it just showed the numbers, no names

I have Pushover notifications working, can't remember if I installed it before or after freezing Google Services Framework but it's definitely working for me.

i have problem to send position with whatsapp using gmap plus sometimes one notification error google account

I do not care about Gmail since I connected mail and calendar via Outlook.

I did not test GooglePay
NFC payment works for Santander app but not for ING app
Generally in my case I', very glad fo have GMS back mainly because of AndroidAuto and Google Home and Spotify which can stream to my audio devices with chromecast build in. Those things I missed a lot and therefore decided to downgrade fro 147 do 131, install GMS and upgrade back to 147. So far all works with some issuses (notifications + no NFC in ING app)

how did you manage with to work with google home, it keep asking me to add new account, and how you chromecast youtube to your TV?

I did not cast from YT, but I can check if it works.
I cast music from spotify to:
- google chromecast audio
- polk magnifi soundbar
- 2x JBL Link 20 paired in stereo
which were already set up in Google Home on my P20 before I installed GMS on P40 pro.
In first approach after installation of GMS I used phone clone to move apps and it did not work. In Spotify there was no device to which I could cast.
I wiped the phone and in second approach I installed all apps from play store. First Spotify and in Spotify I could immediatelly see my devices. After that I installed Google Home and and I could see all my setings without any problem.
In first approach I used tutorial in spanish - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utQ9q7pCGEM&feature=youtu.be
In second approach I used other tutorial which in my opinion is more structured and clear - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTIZFehwlw
Both methods works for me.
I also installed Google Family Link and Adobe scan and it also works.

Been using P40 Pro with GMS and frozen GSF for over 2 weeks now. Everything works, all notifications, all apps (about 250) that I had in my previous Samsung phone work fine. All bank apps, payment apps and bank id (those that we use here in Sweden), smart home apps, news apps, social media apps, Google photos, You Tube Vanced all work fine. Had to re-pair my smartwatch (Wear OS) with the P40 Pro without reset (search here on XDA for the procedure). Now it works fine too. All notifications, videos and interactions on the watch work fine. The only apps I didn't get to work - Google Pay, Samsung Pay (of course ).

stock mail prog crashing

I have a stock HTC one
all I have done is freeze some of the apps as per the list on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681729
Sadly I left the email setup to last ( having set up all the contacts, apps etc) and the mail prog seems to be crashing.
I could just manage to set one account at and received a test email, which I could reply to but that's it.
when I open it it is incredibly slow and I cant get the menu button to work , the back button also doesn't work.
eventually I get a message saying that mail has stopped working.
I will try enabling everything and see if that makes it work but I thought I would ask here if anyone had experienced such problems or knew of a cure
thanks

Hi
Am I ended up doing a hard reset
Added mail accounts and all was fine
Disabled bloat, checked mail, all good.
Added games, checked all good.
Added apps. Checked all good.
That was 4 hours ago and it's happening again
Any ideas
Thanks
disabling apps may result to other apps crashing because it may be dependent on that app.
I was quite careful about what apps ive disabled and am pretty sure that is not whats causing it ,I checked it after I disabled the apps and it worked fine (for a few hours)
The only thing I can think of is one of the apps I downloaded. But I am hesitant to think its that as all the apps were installed on my sensation and the mail was fine
The only apps that required the "non authorised apps" warning were mm tracker and quick office pro so I have disabled them and restarted the phone. I then e mail tried the mail prog
still no joy
the thing is even if I enable all the disabled apps it still doesn't work
I know that I can get another app but that doesn't help my ocd about setting the phone up
after rebooting and loading apps I found that DW contacts was causing the crash
hard reset and re load of all apps except dw and all is good

GMail notifications - there aren't any!

I think I've tried everything on YouTube or via Google search.
Can anybody give me any tips to get Gmail notifications on my P40 Pro+ please?
Has anybody got it to work?
(As an aside, Messenger, WhatApp and text all work just fine.)
Hey there!
Install BlueMail client works great with Gmail and other email accounts.
Or outlook
Tried BlueMail & Outlook but no notifications on my Pro+
Any special settings or just normal install?
A million thanks to all who replied or tried to help!
It worked, I have GMail, I have notifications, my P40Pro+ is complete with GMS, all the Google Apps I need, and everything is working!
I can't believe after all I've tried and the Huwaei Email App was all I needed
I hope it solves the notifications issue for everyone else too.
Mind sharing how you got everything to work?

No problem, it's nice to be able to help somebody else for a change!
First up, I tried to use the phone as intended, but Outlook was useless for GMail & Google Calendar, plus there was a banking APP I needed for work that didn't play nice.
So I started with a couple of different YouTube videos, but the one that worked best was by RedSkull - https://youtu.be/uOjfSWPTWsI
I'm not super technical, and it took me three goes but I got there and everything worked, except GMail with no notifications and no incoming mail unless I opened the APP.
After that, it was lots of different attempts based on comments from other people (like use BlueMail App - but it didn't work for me) and then somebody said the Huawei App was great and worked for them - hey presto - all good to go.
I have to say it's an amazing phone and well worth the work to get it to this stage.
Thx for the info worked on 1st try. Now i'm gonna test the email stuff.
1st time = you know what you're doing and more techie than me :fingers-crossed:
Hi, just don´t know if I understand it well, but I´m using the Huawei mail native app, with my gmail account, and everithing works fine, even notifications. I still don´t felt the need to install google services.

Yes the Huawei Mail App works fine with GMail - it just took me a while to find that out!
If you can work without Google Services then brilliant - I couldn't, I had a couple of work issues and ended up needing it, but either way it's an amazing phone. I love it, and the camera.... untouchable

Workaround for MS Intune Company Portal/Outlook with Huawei P40 Pro

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.

Thanks Lazerbourne.
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

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

Admins won't change the policy I am receiving some reassuring comments on other forums, from people who managed to get it working with some instructions like this

But nothing worked for me yet...

@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.

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.

Do you mean Unified Inbox? Click on the top left icon of the app, you'll see the Unified Inbox and also the individual mail boxes.

Hi, please, did you manage to enable the Google Protect?
Thanks!
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.

Question Apps cloning that i don't want cloned

I cloned Facebook and Messenger the other day, and right after, my google pay stopped working. I realized that it's trying to use the clones of google pay and google wallet instead of the actual apps. It's very weird. I can't figure out how to make it not do this. I already disabled the app cloner app, no luck.
It's not listed in app cloner, either.
I've never seen anything like this.

Does M$ Authenticator work on Huawei Mate 40/50 Pro

Does M$ Authenticator work on Huawei Mate 40/50 Pro phones, and does it works with also Google Authenticator?
By working I mean normal receiving messages, in real time, and with push notifications. I know there was talk that it was not working. But at the end of last year there were hints that M$ Authenticator could be installed after all. Does anyone have experience and how it works now? Does it need GSpace for push messages to work ?
I need 2FA with M$ Authenticator (for work), so that the messages must arrive in a timely manner, otherwise I have to repeat the login process... and after 3 time, the account is locked...
Hi, yes it is working, I use it for my work email (outlook), and to authenticate new device on my work network.
Works straight, no need of virtualization
