I got a new p9 today and Android auto says incompatible phone. How did you get it to work?

Yes it won't work with my p9 plus. Very annoying.
Any ideas anybody?

Probably you downloaded wrong version. It has to be 1.6.281040 (2825091-release) arm64.

I just downloaded 1.6.281040 (2825091-release) for arm64 to my Huawei P9 and I get the "Incompatible phone" message when I try to run the app.

I have the same issue on my rooted Huawei P9 Plus, B161 latest firmware, latest android auto: 1.6.281040 (2825091-release) arm64:
"Incompatible phone"
"The phone can't run Android Auto"
Any idea on how to let it work?
TIA

I have EVA-AL10 (chinese version) - maybe this is the difference...

Yeah maybe, sadly I have had no luck installing the APK. Anybody want to buy my p9 Plus? LOL.

I have an eva-L09 and cant get it to work with 1.6.281040 (2825091 - release) arm64 either

Same message here, too (incompatible phone), but when I connect the phone to my car system (Seat Full Link) it works.

Hello,
I have the same problem with P9 lite.
When I try to connect it with the Intellilink of my Opel Corsa 2016, appears the message "Incompatibile phone".
I downloaded the 1.6.281040 (2825091-release) app version.
I don't understand, it's a problem of the phone? I've just bought it because my S3 was too old to work with Intellilink...

Just installed b180 firmware and android auto now works perfectly (2016 Vauxhall corsa)

update firmware to b180 and it wil work

TWRP 3.1.1 available since May 17 (Nougat ?)

Hi everyone !
I just checked TeamWin's official website and noticed that a new version is available for Honor 5C (nemo) since May 17 : https://eu.dl.twrp.me/nemo/
It is available on the app as well.
Now I can't install it for now since I don't have access to my computer at the moment, but I wonder if this is a Nougat/EMUI 5-compatible version of TWRP. I can't seem to find a changelog.
Hope someone can try it and give us feedback.
See ya
I tested the new version
Unfortunately does not work (emui 5)

Seems I need to flash to Oreo Maybe it will help...
I've flashed to Oreo and nothing changed... I don't know what to do, I'm very angry about that stupid problem!
Does the app find the band at the Bluetooth deVices list?
Also, through the phone settings, do you see the band at the bt finding list?

settings > battery ? bettery optimisation > huawei wear > dont optimize
that fixed my problem
also ensure u give all permissions to this app.
what works for me is that switch off and switch on bluetooth every time and then press honor band 3 in paired devices. Switch to Huawei wear and then it connects
I can't connect my Huawei honor band A2 with my Huawei P8 Lite. I have the 6.0 version. It just won't connect with Huawei Health and Huawei Wear too...

Google Play for Emui 9.1, android 9.0, China Rom. Huawei MediaPad M5 lite 8"

Hi guys.!
Can someone help me?
I'm having trouble looking for a working GSM or Play store for my Huawei MediaPad M5 lite 8" Emui 9.1, android 9.0, China Rom.
Please help me install GApps in my device.
Thanks!
Hi everyone!
I also have the same problem, I tried many methods (from using GMS installer, to manually installing everything) but none seem to work.
I fear we might need a root to be able to install everything, but the tablet is so new that I am not sure if we can.
Hi, I have the same issue. Bought 2 of these for kids in China but I spent a few hours on forums, researching and much more time by actually installing the GMS with no success. I am able to install Google Chrome and a few other apps which don't require Google Services.
Furthest I have gone so is GMS installed but Google Play app freezing when trying to verify my credentials. Unfortunately Huawei has officially stopped providing the root unlock codes (that's what I have learned elsewhere) and I don't know how to get around this.

Honor play - Arcore support

Hi, does anyone have any luck with enabling arcore support on honor play? Honor 10 which has the same processor is supported also honor 8x with slower processor also has the support, so I dont think there should be any HW issues with running it...
I have download arcore services from apk mirror. Installation waa without issues, but when I tried to run any arcore app, app crashed. (the apps were also downloaded from apkmirror)
Does anyone know how to make it to work? Do I need to unlock my bootloader for the solution?
Thanks for all answers.
PS.: I hope Huawei will do somethong with this problem and wont throw it away like the update to Android 10 because of hw issues...
I can't recall the particular version of Arcore that worked for me in the past. You just have to check for older version,

Now I have tried few old versions, but had no luck with it, also tried restart the device after installation. Maybe I havent tried enough versions or in EMUI 9.1 was the warkaround patched...

Harmony OS and GMS

Im hearing reports that Harmony OS can easily run GMS with no issues, can anyone confirm this?
Haven't heard of this would love too though!
Huawei HarmonyOS can run Google Mobile Services and Play Store app, shows tipster through developer beta build
Huawei’s upcoming self-developed distributed operating system, HarmonyOS 2.0 has already entered the public mobile developer beta testing program for devices including foldable phone Mate X2, and models from Mate 40, P40, Mate 30, MatePad Pro, Smart Screen S series. However, the first batch of...

Probably, we are going to need to wait until the non domestic beta... If I'm not mistaken in the domestic version of emui 11 there is no problem with installing GMS, but in the international it's not possible.

You can't. HarmonyOS is only for China models with no release plan or dates announced for the rest of the world.
Hey guys. I have a MatePad Pro (the original one which was released in 2019), which I have purchased during my trip to China.
I had converted it to GMS first thing when I unpacked the device using Googlefier.
Yesterday I updated to Harmony OS and the GMS is still working perfectly fine. I was able to open Google Play, install apps, etc. same as before, zero issues.
So if you already have GMS installed on your phone / tablet, you can continue using it after updating to harmonyOS.
I hope this helps
i just had my mate20 pro updated to harmony os, and all my previously intalled gsm apps works perfectly fine. been testing the apps and didnt have any errors so far.

Can you actually INSTALL the GMS on a device running Harmony OS or can you only CONTINUE USING previously installed GMS apps?
