That's what I'm about to say but I'm rooted.
Is that the same without root, I was about to unroot and check ?

Yes Google pay is broken in this preview but are we able to update and download apps from play store?

Unrooted here. Locked bootloader as well. Have been able to update apps so far and Wells banking app and Netflix work, although they were installed under DP3.

I'm not sure if I fixed it myself or if Google fixed it but my device is now certified.
Last night I hid magisk in magisk settings Be rebooted but no change.
This morning I cleared cache on Google Play services and Google Play store and now it's all working!
Android pay working

Getting about 6hours SOT. Also, after clearing both Play Store and Play Services cache/data, and rebooting, I now have a certified device and was able to re-add my debit card to Google Pay.

Playstore uncertified is fixed now! Google fixed it today!
Google Playstore uncertified issue with Beta3 is now fixed. Just clear data of Playservices and Playstore and reboot. You will then have Certified PlayStore!

Is anybody's fast Charging not working after this update? Worked before. Not rooted

Seems about the same. I did a factory reset on DP3 that brought the battery life back. Maybe 20-30 mins more SOT?

Cool

Unrooted -
Google Pay works fine for me.
App suggestions now show in the app drawer. Also weather now shows on the lock screen (didn't show for me in previous beta - just had a blank space)
None of my apps crash and everything works fine.
Not the best battery life still (but that's more for my device being nearly 2 yrs old and being used heavily rather than any software issue).

How are you guys clearing cache for play store??mine says unidentified

Im on the new preview. Rooted. Honestly no issues at all that ive noticed. Love it.

Android Auto Glitches on Mi max Global 8.2.1

I use the Android Auto app all the time in the car. And usually (in the past) "ok google" commands work great.
But now, on my Mi max, Google tells me to unlock the phone before using voice commands.....but the thing is, it IS unlocked (android Auto is open, and the screen is ON).
Any ideas??
thanks in advance.
Btw....I love this phone.
In an update, I have sorted out the problem. All I did was update Google Play services and now everything seems to be working fine. Just thought I'd share the solution.
Hi..
Which Google Play services are you running?
I have this problem and Im running the latest version of Google Play and Android Auto on MIUI 8.2.2 but im still having this issue
Thanks

Hi. I have the latest Version. I haven't had this problem for about a month now. Seems to have settled down.

Here you go.
Still no luck for me.
Trying to narrow down the cause.
Can I trouble you again to report your MIUI and Google app(not Google Play services) versions that you are running?

Here you go.
Update Google services, mi sync, and then wait. There's a delay at times while most of the times android auto connects well.
Background apps also hamper the sync levels
Seen this with EMUI also

Not able to download/update apps from Play Store.

I got my Honor 8 Pro exactly 1 week ago and just yesterday I started having this issue where I'm not able to download and update apps from the Play Store.
When I click 'install' button it says downloading but nothing really happens. I have tried clearing the cache & data, restarted the phone and all sorts of things, but it doesn't seem to work.
Anyone else having this problem?
__________
EDIT:
Issue fixed : uninstall truecaller, use Honor 8 Pro's stock Launcher and restart phone. No idea why this happens but at least it's fixed.
Maybe your Google Play Services just received an update. That's what happens when it updates.

Tapzo was the culprit app, had to delete it and clear cache etc, started working ok now.
This might help:
Go to settings - Advance settings - Backup and Reset- Network settings reset
Should resume downloads.
In some cases, uninstalling truecaller and/or tapzo might help
What worked for me was uninstalling Play Store, and downloading the latest Google Play Services and Play Store apks from apkmirror.

Uninstalling truecaller and rebooting the phone indeed worked, but on installing truecaller again the playstore install/update issue is back.
Any one has a better solution? I'm not able to use truecaller and playstore together.

You said ture caller from playstore , causes issue so can you try the truecaller from outer source like modded one.

Temporary solution after lots of logs sent to R&D team.
Go to Settings- battery - lock screen clean up.
Untick all apps (Close all option must be greyed out).
Switch on Airplane Mode for 15 seconds . Turn it off.
Turn on WiFi and downloads should resume automatically .
The issue got resolved after B140 update. No more apps update/download pending issue.
So they were able to fix it.
Have you tried clearing the Cache files in the internal storage and rebooting your device? Sometimes that will solve your issue.

rapid battery drain 8.1

Ever since I flashed 8.1 , battery is draining very rapidly. After sending one email just text no attachments, battery went from 100 to 96%. Has anyone else had this issue?

Nope. At least give it a couple of charge cycles to see what's going on. I've noticed no changes since I installed 8.1.
I did, after using GSam Battery to find the problems it was play services and RCSService. So I uninstalled RCSService and cleared data on Google play services and it's been fine since.

Ah, gotchya. I had no difficulties with stock either. At least for the week I had it before it wasn't stock
I have only unlocked the bootloader. I have no other mods on my phone. I have done a restart and a fresh install of 8.1 and nothing is helping. Nothing is running in the background either. I don't get it

Swift dark with fuchsia accent.
Do you have a weak mobile signal when you are on wifi? I think Google changed the default to be keeping mobile data on even while WiFi is on in 8.1. For me, i have crap mobile signal at my wifi location, so the scanning for a signal might drain my battery. You can change the setting in developer options. Have no idea if it will help though...
I am on 8.1 since 3 days (not rooted), on full charge I have got 7 hours SOT consistently... dont think so the drain has anything to do with 8.1 update..
pls check ur apps
Go into settings/Google/instant tethering and see if it's on. That being on killed my battery life...
I have noticed quite a bit of battery drain since activating the Pixel visual core. .. definitely noticeable loss of battery and especially on the camera.

Adb buddy.
Turn on usb debugging. And get to a PC then,
Adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 <name of package.apk> with out the <>.
If my memory serves me right, it's com.qualcomm.qti.uceShimService.apk for the RCSService
This tells the phone to uninstall said apk for that specific user. And not the entire system. Which root is needed for.
Be mindful. These can come back after a factory reset.

Thanks a lot... Was hoping I didn't need to get on a PC. I feel like we're in a day and age with Android where this shouldn't be necessary.
I discovered an option in developer settings where it seems "keep mobile data on " whole on wifi which I am hoping is the culprit to my battery issues.
It def drops faster since 8.1 not like what the OP is talking about, but over night it uses hardly anything then I can use it half the next day pretty much

RCSService Accessible/Modify only if rooted? I didn't want to but if I must hassle then OK. So to delete it i need to go root?

What happens if I don't update apps?

What's happens if I don't update my apps for few months or a year?
I'm asking becuase of substratum theme messing up my apps if I update them.
WhatsApp didn't work properly after update. Have to factory reset phone to get it working again.
Some will be fine, some will force you to update before they will run

Just try it then. You'll know if an app doesn't work and it won't kill your phone. You may not be able to stop Google Play and services from updating unless you disable them and don't use them at all. I suspect that most of your apps will continue to work.

Question Google Play Services FC and battery drain

Since today I'm getting constant Google Play Services FC and huge battery drain and also phone overheat because of Google Services.
Anybody else? I'm on 12.2.6.6 EU. Phone is almost unusable now.
It's apparently caused by recent Google app update. Reverted to factory version and now it's fine.
Can anybody confirm issue?
There was some google services error from google side....
Yes, confirm on 9 Pro this morning. I revert it and everything is ok now.
Strange, updated back after revert and it's fine now. Maybe we need to clear cache/data. But it's some kind of bug at Google's side. Many reports in Google Play store
Also safetynet is failing right now
No, safetynet passed. You must be rooted
Hi, I just thought I'd share this with y'all if y'all haven't seen it before. Check & double check please, because it's been a while since I last checked into the play service drain issue. Anyway I was just hoping this might could help someone and props & many thx to the dev gloeyisk.

Ok. So you will probably need to wait for Msgisk Hide update. Non rooted devices are fine.
