So, my phone suddenly started downloading offline speech recognition database. Unasked for. Not that I mind that on itself. But when it doesn't actually download and continues the attempt without timeout that really pisses me off because it drains my battery!!! So far the only way I can stop if is by disabling the download manager, which stops me from using Google play! I may be in China right now but I use a vpn so I should still be able to download things Google. Any idea how to resolve this?
Any ideas at all?
I can stop it by force-stopping Google play and Google services, but after a while it comes back again.
Can the pack be downloaded directly from the Internet and installed later?

I have rooted my fire, sucessfully installed the market, gmail app and youtube however I am unable to connect my gmail account to any of them. During the initial login process of signing into my account. I keep getting this error that says "Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server". It does it with all 3 of those apps. I know my wifi is working as im able to access the internet. Im wondering if maybe i need to reinstall the google services framework or something?
Have any of you seen this and been able to work around it? Im able to run all apps except google ones.
Thanks
okay i figured it out, had to install the syncsettings, turn off background data, restarted, then reinstalled googleframework, restarted, turned background data back on. then it let me sign in.
weird!!
Anyone have other tips for dealing with this issue on a wifi-only Kindle? Nothing I've tried has worked. There's a so-called YouTube hack, but I don't even know what version of YouTube to install that might work to let me setup my Google account without going through the same interface that the Play Store uses. Thanks
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue.... When I start google maps and start navigation, right away an error saying Google TTS (text to speech) stopped.... Click Ok and it will give me voice directions still... sometimes the voice will change for it self and even the units lol.....
Things I have tired :
- Had the journalist 4.3 so i went on PC companion and clicked repair... it automatically downloaded a new (proper version I would assume) generic version of 4.3 and flashed it..... same issue still
- Tried removing the update for Google maps and google TTS... and then updating it again... same issue
- If I change TTS to Pico TTS it will work fine.... its just the voice isn't as nice
Really its more of a preference thing, just irritating when something isn't working as it should....... Any things to try would be great ?
------Note: TTS was working great on 4.2------
Secondly:
The GPS... If the Icon is set as active, I noticed on 4.3 it doesn't appear till its using Google Maps.... Does this mean its off, but automatically becomes active when its needed ? Or is it on all the time and just letting you know its using the GPS ?
Wondering for battery life, haven't really gotten a chance to test both scenarios properly.....
I have been reading about Google play and different issues with Google services. I will be receiving the phone tomorrow. Google voice (for the voice-mail and transcribed messages) and Gmail are the only 2 apps from google I care about. Anyone have Google Voice working ?
If so how did you enable it.
Thanks!!
It works ok with play services uninstalled. It never was totally reliable though. About 60% of the time it works, the rest of my calls just go out through the cell provider directly. Also you have to keep it open either manually or with an app as it closes down after a while. On my last android phone it worked at least 90% and it didn't have to be watched constantly.
If you rely on anything google, I would just forget this phone though. It is nearly 2 weeks since the play services update and no word or update from google. Without constant fiddling, my gmail, hangouts, and play store are always broken.
Depends
Depends on your setup. If you are using Gvoice with hangouts, be prepared to be frustrated! If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it will work after a few tries.
Hangouts:
Had it working fine with play services 7.0.9 and Fire OS 3.6.8. I did the manual update to 4.6.1 and it all went to hell.. I gained a bunch of functionality but because I use Gvoice integrated in Hangouts I am constantly having issues. Issues ranging from play services updating all the time and causing notifications, sync and reply to all not work, making it useless.
If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it took me a few tires to get outgoing calls to route through Gvoice.. Download and install the Gvoice app, set it for the call settings you want. I had to do this a couple times before those settings stuck.
Until the play services are fixed this is going to be frustrating. I don't see an end in sight right now seeing as it has been this long and I see no official talk about it.

Well the problem here will be that play services is causing us a lot of problems since the update. Other than that I can't imagine it being a problem. I don't install the Google voice app anymore since I forward the calls and Hangouts does work to make calls from voice number. I can vouch for that.
I got the phone, was able to get google voice installed (had to remove the store afterwards) But it will only show new messages when I open the app, there are no notification.
Is it possible to get notifications ?
Working !!!
Had to re-associate phone with Google voice and then notifications would pop up

So, I got the new 4.6.1 update, and I've installed all the Google Play apks. Things seem to be working fine overall. However, I can't seem to get location services to act right. I had Location Services and Enhanced Location Services turned on with only a select few apps turned on to utilize those services. However, every time I go back to make sure everything is working properly, all of the apps are turned back on. I specifically chose to only allow certain apps that I know need those services (maps, weather, etc.) in order to save battery life. My suspicion is that Google Play Services keeps turning everything back on. This wasn't happening before I installed Google Play Store/Services. Granted, this could also be the result of the new 4.6.1 update, but I'm thinking that this is more of a Google Play Services issue. Now I have to choose between having location services on altogether or off altogether which is less than ideal.
Anyone else having this problem? Is there a way to get Google Play Services to stop messing with things on my phone? I'll uninstall the Google Play Store/Services if I have to , but I'm trying to determine if there is a less extreme way out of this.
So, I may have at least partially answered my own question. The last time I tried to get location services preferences to stick, I had still allowed Google Play Services and Play Store to access it. Well, this time I turned both of those off. Now my location services preferences appear to be holding. The only exception seems to be when I reboot my phone. Then everything goes back to being on which is annoying, but this is acceptable for now. I don't reboot my phone very often. So, as long as my location preferences stay otherwise locked in then I think I'm okay. I'll update if anything changes.
I'm not sure what's going on now. The location services for all of the apps turned back on without my having rebooted my phone. If anyone wants to chime in with suggestions or theories, feel free to do so, because I'm honestly not sure how to stop this from happening short of just uninstalling the Google Play Store/Services.
My wife have updated the phone to 10.0.0.185 and got some issues with loading apps related to Google.
Example:
- Google photos won't load/keeps loading
- Google drive won't load/keeps loading
- YouTube won't load/keeps loading
- Google Play sometimes not work correctly
- Backup WhatsApp via Google Drive won't work.
- Sometimes issue with WiFi/mobile internet
It seems I got issue with all Google products..
Someone got these issues?
Kind regards
I don't have these issues on mine. Can't verify the WhatsAppp issue since I don't use this app. The only google issue I have is that I am unable to use Google Assistant via OK google or Hey Google since I can't activate voice match.
I suggest you try to do a Factory Reset.

Sent from my HUAWEI EVR-AL00 using XDA Labs
I used to have the same issues after doing a factory reset. Before factory reset, everything worked on EMUI 10. I'm on TL00. Now I'm back on 9.0.0.200.
I have the exact same problems - haven't tried factory reset yet. Seems that some (mostly Google) services cannot reach their servers, or only on mobile data, not on wifi...
I'll probably try the factory reset later today...
SOLVED
OK, I've done a factory reset, restored my backup and it seems to have worked - at least Photos seem to be uploading.
Have .APKs ready for Google Play Store, Chrome, things like SwiftKey keyboard...
EDIT: Yep, everything's working fine after factory reset.
Have you managed to solve this? I'm on 10.0.0.148 and I'm experiencing exact same issues. The phone came preinstalled with Android Pie and I had Google Play Store installed via GMS Installer 1.2.
I have upgraded to Android 10 and received build 10.0.0.188 and this rendered Play Store unusable. The app stopped to initialize. I couldn't login into my Google account anymore, and Play Store started to show that it is being installing some update.
I did a full reset, and everything gone wild. I noticed that if I install Google Play Store APK, some Google apps like Google GMail, Google Maps, Google Drive and Google Photos begin to work. I can even open Google profile properties from within these apps.
However, Google Books never works, it shows whore screen after being started indicating that it cannot connect to Google Servers. Also, news feed in Google Chrome works until you enable bookmark synchronization. Once you do that, the feed disappears and Chrome begins to indicate it will gonna show the news sometime later. Of course, this later time never comes.
At the same time, if you open Google account synchronization settings, you'll notice Chrome synchronization indicates that it works, however GMail and Contacts fall to synchronize.
Also Contracts are listed twice in synchronization status as if there were two Contacts apps on the phone. I only have Huawei contacts, I did no install Google Contacts.
If I install Google Contacts, or Google Framework Services, or Google Play Services, or Google Books, then immediately after installing these apps Google contact synchronization brakes. All Google apps stop seeing internet connection. Opening profile shows the phone is offline. Also, if I logout from Google account, I'm never able to login any of the Google app into the account. None of the apps is able to connect to Google contact services anymore. I even tried to install Google Contact Sync APK, but this didn't help. Nothing but reset helps.
Do I have to revert to PIE to make Google Services sync work?
