No Google Services and Galaxy Watch (Mate30, P40) - Samsung Galaxy Watch

Hello!
Currently I'm happy user of GalaxyWatch Active2 Bluetooth edition with my Pixel 4. Everything is fine and works very well. The things is that I'm thinking about buying phone without Google services (don't really use it) Mate30 Pro or P40 Pro.
The thing is that is it going to work well with Galaxy Watch? Did anyone tried? There is no GalaxyWear and that plugin to download from Huawei Appgallery but it is not a problem to use Pure APK. I just want to be sure if it is going to work without any problems. Notafications and calling through watch.

Ive a mate 30 pro and a galaxy watch and they work together fine.
I would say as good as a iPhone and iwatch together which I've just changed from.
All I did was get apps from aptoide, apkpure and moreapps.
Hope this helps

S Health and Moto 360

Has anyone successfully added Moto 360 to S Health as a device? I use the app on my Note 3 and I want to add to my watch as the device and not phone.
I've tried to pair on an S4 with no luck. I think Samsung has S Health to where it only works with a few devices and Samsung watches...
Google fit is the only one I know of that works with the Moto for health.
Sleep for android works as a sleep tracker.
Give time, it'll eventually have the compatibility or someone will make it have compatibility.
Has anyone found a work around for this yet? I would love to be able to pair my Moto 360 with S-Health.
I would love this!

S Health doesn't share data with Android Wear anyway. The S4 comes with S Health, unless you rooted and deleted it, or you have the S4 GPe. You can try getting it back from the Samsung Apps store, that's where it receives updates from.

Yeah my phone is rooted and they probably got rid of it, but since it doesn't sync up, screw it. thanks

Has anyone attempted to side load Google Daydream VR on HTC 10?

I have seen Daydream ported to other phones on reddit. I haven't seen a thread for anyone attempting to do this on their HTC 10. I'd like to try Daydream and realize it doesn't have an AMOLED and won't function as ideal as possible but am still curious. Anyone have tips or can give direction to go to try it out?
I've tried it and haven't had luck. I downloaded it from apkmirror and got it, and the VR components installed successfully. The app opens and you can browse around but the moment you click the button to go into VR mode it crashes. I am going to dig around and see if I can figure anything out. What other phones have you seen it ported to? Maybe whatever they did will work on the 10.
I saw a thread for galaxy s7 and nexus 6p. If you can make it work that would be awesome. I suspect it's similar to fulldive in the app store. It notifies it may not work without Google gr8 services installed. However, most everything works fine. I just have issue with playing my own videos.
Here's something to look into. Unfortunately I'm not rooted yet so I can't try.

(Guide) Mate 20 X Chinese version for use outside of China

Hey friends,
This is for those of us who are importing the Chinese model.
I thought I'd start this thread, so that we can help each other getting this phone working here in the West. I've never had trouble getting Chinese phones working in the past. I'm hoping that we can discuss some major issues, such as: getting the Google Playstore working & Getting Google Services working....Getting our favorite apps working... :fingers-crossed:

This is my first China phone.. is it usually very hard to get things working? I thought it was basically just grab the apks and install them.

You're correct. It's a few you have to install, not just the play store apk.

#_# Thank god.. for a little there I was scared lol. Never bought a china phone before but this phone looks absolutely amazing.. Have a friend coming back from China tmrw so asked them to pick it up for me before they left and they got me the last one in the store that was 8/256gb. Honestly I'm really hoping for a bootloader unlock and linage OS.. I've come to really love their flavor.
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Yes there may be a few things you will need to do, because in China they have banned Google and Google Play. These things will need to be installed manually. Hopefully with Android 9 they've made it easier, not harder than previous years.
After installing the Play Store are you good to go then in terms of being able to install whatever you want (Google suite, traditional apps, etc.)?
I'm sorry but there are a lot of problems with a Chinese smartphone:
1) Ok google does not work because huawei blocks this function because you have to use their service and all google's system services (assistent, feed, routine) not work fine
2) The voice command on the keyboard for dictate often does not work expecially with gboard
3) Many application not work eg : banking application and similar
4) The chinese ROM not use whatsapp, telegram the native icon
It seems to get a little bit better each version of Android. I'm hoping that some of the older problems will be fixed with Huawei's Android 9.0 release.
Right now pretty much everything I need is working on my Huawei Mate 9 and as long as they haven't broken anything in the next version, I'll be happy. All my apps work, and I am very happy with Nova Launcher.

(I could be wrong) ... but the shop does not look very reputable,
and it's only 20 euros cheaper than Cect-shop.com
Speaking from my own experience. Usually I installed the Google suite from their brands own app store
They have a specific application that installs the framework, Google contact, play services, play store and maybe a couple more services.
After that pretty much everything works. I'll update more when I got my phone.
I can tell you from my experience that when I bought the Huawei Honor Note 8 it was the china version, and had absolutely no issues with it here in the US. Everything I installed worked, the only thing I did have issues with was I couldnt get HiVoice to work in English (Couldnt find any eng version that would work), Ok Google couldnt work due to Hivoice being the default. The other thing I had to tweak was permissions to getting Google voice to work correctly with Android Auto. All the banking and credit card apps worked fine, obviously the wallet program or other things built in didnt work, but wasnt a deal breaker.

Thank you for the store contact, after considering pros and cons I've just ordered the phone from this store. What drives my decision are few simple facts:
I talked to the seller and he assured me that there is no problem with Gapps and payment systems (like GPay). As I'd had a Chinese phone before I was confident in his assurance.
I'm fully aware of problems with G Assistant but I use it primarily as phone tool with Android Auto and I believe that I could manage to use voice in that restricted purpose.
I don't use voice with the keyboard, health or fitness apps at all. So any misconduct regarding those apps doesn't worry me. It's the same with whatsapp and telegram - don't use them.
Far more annoying is the integration of lousy swift keyboard and ms translate into the system and connecting those applications with primary functionality (camera, AR..). They are really far behind Gboard and G Translate and therefore not only pretty useless but rather the disturbance in the system. But they are integrated into the global rom as well and you can't get rid of them in any region. So tolerate them and suffer or don't have Huawei at all.
But what really prevail in my decision is the fact that I'm buying the phone from a European seller. This not only abolishes any additional taxes and duties on the set price but also gives me an enforceable European warranty and delivery claims.
once you install Google play you can use any app I've never had a problem with WhatsApp or any other app tbh

Galaxy Watch Pairing with a P10 lite

Hi guys,
I'm considering to buy a galaxy watch and I was wondering if it was compatible with a P10 lite. I checked and it is not in the official list of compatible devices, however, i've also read that the list is quite incomplete. Does anyone knows if it works with a P10 lite and if some workaround are required (e.g plugin)? thx

You will most likely have to grab all the necessary apks for the watch to function with the phone from apkmirror. I had to do the same as I have a Nokia 7 plus.
Not sure if you will also face the same issue as n7plus users face in terms of having to manually reconnect Bluetooth if the watch goes out of range of the phone.
I love the watch and had tried a couple of others that I sent back.
Unless somebody else has the same phone I would say you'll just have to try it. Maybe see if you can try to pair with one in a store.

Ok I can get over not getting themes but the damn BETOP G1 controller will not work?

I'm in the US and it hasn't been easy owning the Huawei mate 20X. I can't get themes or anything Huawei related, fine. But now the final straw is the BETOP G1 controller failing to connect because of stupid country restrictions?!!! Come on you can't be serious

I have themes just fine, and I'm in Texas.
I know several with the controller and it works just fine. Not sure what your doing, but none of these issues are present in my 20X.

How can that even be? I have the global version and nothing Huawei related works. Bums me out the damn controller didn't work I could care less about themes but not having that control support is BS.

EDIT: AWESOME! Figured out on my own. Nothing on Google and no help here. I managed to log out of account and create a new one under a new region. Mexico. All is golden now! Huawei themes even works and control works perfect on pubg. Great!
Solution to Betop G1 issues
Hi Everyone,
I hope everyone of you is fine and safe during this pandemic.
I found a solution to our Betop G1 issues. The controller was lying in my house for around 1.5 years because I could not find a way to connect.
I tried Panda gamepad pro, Octopus launcher, even some chinese third party app with a lot of ads. Nothing worked.
Yesterday I found their official website below:
https://www.betop-cn.com/en/#/index
Here is our controller:
https://www.betop-cn.com/en/#/productDetail?productId=48
And here is the downloads section:
https://www.betop-cn.com/en/#/down
Download the JoyU (first link) from their website. Its an interface like AppAssistant (minus the block notifications blah blah settings).
Download the apk and install it on your phone.
Then download "map activation tool" (fourth link) on your windows computer. Connect your phone to computer and then start this tool. Allow USB debugging in charge only mode and start the process.
It would activate the app and then we can play any game with the controller like we used to earlier.
I have tested it on my Honor View 10 running EMUI 10 and OnePlus 7T Pro on Oxygen OS. It is working perfectly fine.
Just one drawback. If you restart your phone, you need to reactivate the app. The app doesnt have any advertisements.
I earlier thought that this controller only worked for Huawei and Honor phones and yes the AppAssistant still supports it.
But it can be used to all Android and iOS phones. We all were caught up in the hype since they marketed it as it was specifically made for Huawei and Honor phones.
I played COD mobile (since PUBG now is banned in India), Among us, PACMAN, Brothers in Arms 3, Nova 3 and it worked fine for all of those so I think it should work for all games.
Try this and let me know if you have any questions.
