I have been using whatsapp on my P605 for a while now with no issues. Suddenly it it telling me that I need to update whatsapp in the next 5 days or it will no longer work, but in the play store I am told that "whatsapp your device isn't compatible with this version"
Anyone know a workaround for getting the play store to allow me to install this app?

Thanks I extracted the apk from my phone which worked, I would however prefer a way to force my P605 to allow the download via the play store so that I get updates as they come.

OK ... but if you find a way to do it ...please let me know as I have the same problem :fingers-crossed:
Ok I logged an email with whatsapp support and received the response below. However judging by the speed of the reply I suspect this is an automated reply.
I responded with a query asking why now my device has been regarded as unsupported since it has full telephony features but they have not responded to this
Hi,
WhatsApp is designed specifically for smartphones, and therefore is not compatible with tablets or other non-smartphone devices. We currently do not support these devices and have no plans to do so in the foreseeable future.
Please note that if by chance you are able to use WhatsApp on your unsupported device, we are unable to provide support for any problems that may arise.

You csn use the app market helper, it needs root access and it will fake your build.prob to a number of handsets you can choose from

I sideloaded the latest WhatsApp and the application still does not work on the P605. Honestly, **** WhatsApp for this dumb choice.

Is there anyway to get android pay working? The app store says the device is incompatible so I am unable to down load. Thank you
I'm also encountering this issue on OmniROM. Perhaps @maxwen can elaborate on this issue and any potential fixes.

I don't think that's the only complicating factor. I thought there was something else having to do with proprietary files that typically aren't included with custom ROMs.

Hi did you ever solve this issue? It is out now in the UK and I can't install it from the Google Play Store.
Has anyone tried rootcloak?
Yeah, no luck. There probably is a solution, but I never had the time to fully investigate.
Sent from my FIND7 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Android Pay installs OK on my Find 7, but I can't add any bank cards as it says "Android Pay can't be used. Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is Android compatible".
If I run SafetyNet Helper, it says that the CTS Profile Match is false, which is probably why Android Pay won't run on my Find 7.
I am running COS V2.0.8i, and my phone is unrooted.
Does anyone know of a fix for this, or if Android Pay works on Spectrum?
I recently acquired a Gionee M2017 and have been unable to install gapps apks or root the device. There is access to sign in to the google account which indirectly grants a portal to the main google apps including mail, calendar etc. It appears gionee has not granted support to google play services. It is possible to download apps from third party app sites though. Attempts at rooting have been unsuccessful internally with downloaded apps or with PC synchronization via USB debugging. Any suggestions or possibly I will need to wait until gionee sponsors a GMS core app or device can be rooted and flashed.

For more information the methods of rooting tried included: 360 root, king root, kingo root, one click root, v root, z4 root, framaroot, root master (iroot), root genius. here possible on device and rooting apps that allow PC synchronization. It allows developer option of unlocking bootloader but no effect on downloading gapps or rooting.
Same issues here.. Cannot root or use Gapps.. Tried everything but nothing is helping.. I wish someone comes out with a solution or rooting software for this Gionee M2017 at the earliest.. Feel handicap without google apps.. Any advise will be highly appreciated..
With the new amigo OS update you can now install and run google play services. Still some bugs...google contact sync stops working and you cannot access google contacts or gmail.
Gionee m2017
Bugs fixed all Google apps work. Choose always allow read contacts and always allow location in app permissions.

I have uploaded videos to you tube with instructions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thGtYBo16p4
This is only valid for Gionee M2017 after Amigo OS is updated.
General principle is to install google services framework 6.01 (available APK mirror), followed by google contact sync 6.01, google calendar sync, google play services 10.2.99 (440), google play store.
The downloads are available https://www.apkmirror.com/
Ohhh I am so so thankful. I can't believe I am using it. I was about to throw this phone away as it was becoming useless.
You just made my year.

hi , recent updates of google play services crashes the google apps in gione m2017, i managed to download and instal older version of google play services, but once it is opened its updating itself to newest version and crashes again.
any solutions?
how do i stop it from self updating? should i waite for another version to come?
tried to root but cant find any root apps to support gionee m2017
thanks
I have not experienced that problem with my gionee m2017. I am using version 8.0.73 without any problems. It is difficult to conclude if the problem is in your app settings or the signature of your updated version. You can try to delete it and install from third party site like app China. Other option choose older version from apk mirror site. Last option would be to reinstall google play services and possibly framework for 6.0.

my gionee is running on amigo os 3.5.11 (m2017 release version) android 6.0.1, could you tell me what version of google apps are installed in your device?
i will download and instal them as well from apkmirror.com
i have reseted my phone to factory details, i want to reinstall Gapss. maybe it will help.
thanks for your reply
I provided my version of play store in the last thread. Google play services 11.0.55. I have the same amigo OS version and android version. If you already reset to factory version then the other trouble shooting for app fixes are moot. Reinstalling gapps should restore functionality.

reinstalling solves the problem partialy.
everything works fine untill google play services updates itself automatically to version 11.3.02 then it stops working.
That is bizarre. I have no suggested fix for that.
There are two ways to install gapps through Chinese installer or sequential installation apk mirror.

should have bought Samsung ok thanks ill waite for another update to google services maybe it will solve ..
After you open play store first time go settings auto update stop updates. Gionee M 2017 is not certified under settings which means occasionally apps will misbehave. There are a lot of third party app sites as well.
Hello all,
In the past I have used a Google Playstore account and I have installed some apps on my H815. Now I don't want to use my account anymore because I want a Google free Smartphone. I paid for three packages and I would like to use them because there is no suitable replacement in the F-Droid reposities. How can I do that? Can I use "adb pull package.apk" or a root explorer like amaze? Please give me a hint. My H815 is rooted.
I talk about these apps.
1)
com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2
Free version but not in F-Droid reposities included.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eclipsim.gpsstatus2&hl=de
2)

Pay version but not in F-Droid reposities included. Disable commercial advertising in 1)

3)
org.peakfinder.area.alps

Check out FakeGApps in the Xposed module repository.
Yalp Store (https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore) is exactly what you're looking for.
I can't find Android Auto on the playstore on my phone, and when I go to the playstore from my PC it tells me that "This app is incompatible with all of your devices."
Is it really incompatible, or maybe this is because Android Auto is not yet available in my country?

As far as I can tell the only requirements for the app itself is android lollipop and above so it probably is geo restricted
Since I don't have your device anymore I can't check
I have included the app in the attachment below though for you to install yourself
It is compatible, I am using it and installed it from play store. Maybe clear the Play store cache? AS pointed out you can also just install the apk (also from apkmirror)
Thanks. Are you using it with the G5 or the G5 Plus?
What is strange is that it is telling me that it is incompatible with my device, and not that it is not available in my country, as it happens with some other apps.
Is it is safe to install it with an .apk, and would I receive updates if I do it that way?

The apk I posted was downloaded by myself from the playstore so totally safe
You would only get updates if It is available in your playstore & even then you may have to uninstall & reinstall depending on app signatures if different in different locations

Thanks. If I can get confirmation that it should work with the moto g5 (not the plus) then I will try it out.
Any reason why Google would have country restrictions on Android Auto? The cars are the same, the apps (maps, music etc) work fine, so why place restrictions on Android Auto? Apple doesn't seem to have any such restriction with Car Play (in my country at least)

Why do you need confirmation to try it? Just try it - it will either install or say app not installed
Like I said the only min requirements is lollipop so no reason why the app won't install
Some apps maybe geo restricted for licensing purposes - if Googling why the app isn't available in your country doesn't come up with anything the only thing you can do is contact the app developer
He may think you provided a virus.

Lol by all means scan it - decompile it & check it
If you know my reputation around here you know I provide support
I used to be a recognised contributor but left xda for a while
Also I provided the official twrp for this device
So looking through my past posts/threads you will see the kind of support I provide
Of course, I mean you work on twrp for g5 and yet someone still manages to be suspicious
I am not suspicious I just want to know if it actually works! If this is not a country thing, maybe they marked this phone as incompatible for a good reason. I don't yet have a car with Android Auto so I can't fully test it now. Maybe it would run on the phone itself, but then fail to connect to the car (I've seen reports of this happening for several phones including different versions of the Moto G). Or maybe there is some other kind of bug that only shows up once connected to a car...

The only person that can answer your question would be the app developer
Would be quicker & easier to test yourself as the chance of someone with a moto g5 & the car you might have with android auto support would be highly unlikely
In these situations it's always better to just try yourself or contact the app developer for support
I installed the apk that TheFixItMan has provided and it works fine, on both the phone and a car I tried it with for a few minutes. Thanks!
As it was said previously I can't update Android auto from the play store now, so I assume at some point it might stop working properly. Should I just get a new apk every time I need an update?
