Since the last update to the google app there have been issues.
Using an XT1058 completely stock on 4.4.4
Any voice command results in 'cant reach google at this time.' This happens whether I use 'okay google now' to launch or go directly through google now.
Also whenever I open google now the weather is up to date, but everything else like 'stories to read' lists the same stories from a week ago.
If I swipe down to refresh several times it will work, but next time I open google now it's back stories from May 26th
I've cleared cache. Checked sync settings. Checked google now settings, but don't see anything amiss.
It still all works on my nexus 7, so I don't think it's an issue with my account.
Hello
I'm about to get a P40 Pro.
Just to go there with open eyes: assuming I install GMS successfully following one of the guides in this form, what limitations are left? If any.
Google pay works?
Bank apps?
Netflix?
...
Just to know what I am getting into
Thanks
Netflix should work but you're gonna get crap, non-HD quality because of Widevine L3 DRM. So I wouldn't bother with Netflix on this phone.
Google Pay - haven't tested so I can't tell if it works, but probably not.
Banking apps - some work, some don't. Better do research whether your banking app works on this phone. I got lucky and mine works even without GMS.
Overall, I don't think installing GMS on P40 is worth it. Mainly because of notification issues - you don't get notifications for many apps. Recently I decided to "freeze" Google Services Framework to get my notifications back. If I ever feel like going back to GMS, I'll just unfreeze it without having to reinstall.
Authenticator works. Calendar notifications works.
Gmail notifications doesn't work for me.
All the banking apps I use are working.
Uber is working even with frozen Gsf.
Maps work, but the first time after a restart it takes a bit longer to detect location.

Does the freeze help better with the majority if not all of the notifications? The main app I need is Pushover and I can't get ANY notifications on it without loading the app, everything else has worked fine for what I need it for
Is there a definitive list of what does and what does not work on the P40 Pro especially interested in banking apps for the UK. I've used a P30 Pro since launch day but currently on a iPhone 11 Pro Max but desperately want to switch back to Android and the P40 Po. Can it be used daily without GSM in the UK?

Which banking app in particular are you interest in as I am from the uk also? I personally haven't had issues with my Monzo banking or the majority of the apps as I get notifications on whatsapp and fb messenger but there are some without working notifications without gms enabled
I mainly use Nationwide Santander Barclaycard and Tesco Club card. Is there any contact less payment options as well with the P40?

How are you finding using the P40 on a daily basis, would you recommend it and what are the pitfalls? I can pick one up for around £450 and it's so tempting to give it a go.
tbh the only apps im missing is messages (rcs chat isn't missed till you dont have it haha), and photos. if notifications and chat worked for messages id probably attempt to download gms for that alone
For messages the notifications are working, rcs not even after installing Google carrier services.
But the main issue o had was contacts stopped showing there, and sometimes it just showed the numbers, no names

I have Pushover notifications working, can't remember if I installed it before or after freezing Google Services Framework but it's definitely working for me.

I do not care about Gmail since I connected mail and calendar via Outlook.
Notification works for most type of massages but in my case not for banking apps
I did not test GooglePay
NFC payment works for Santander app but not for ING app
Generally in my case I', very glad fo have GMS back mainly because of AndroidAuto and Google Home and Spotify which can stream to my audio devices with chromecast build in. Those things I missed a lot and therefore decided to downgrade fro 147 do 131, install GMS and upgrade back to 147. So far all works with some issuses (notifications + no NFC in ING app)

I did not cast from YT, but I can check if it works.
I cast music from spotify to:
- google chromecast audio
- polk magnifi soundbar
- 2x JBL Link 20 paired in stereo
which were already set up in Google Home on my P20 before I installed GMS on P40 pro.
In first approach after installation of GMS I used phone clone to move apps and it did not work. In Spotify there was no device to which I could cast.
I wiped the phone and in second approach I installed all apps from play store. First Spotify and in Spotify I could immediatelly see my devices. After that I installed Google Home and and I could see all my setings without any problem.
In first approach I used tutorial in spanish - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utQ9q7pCGEM&feature=youtu.be
In second approach I used other tutorial which in my opinion is more structured and clear - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fTIZFehwlw
Both methods works for me.
I also installed Google Family Link and Adobe scan and it also works.
Been using P40 Pro with GMS and frozen GSF for over 2 weeks now. Everything works, all notifications, all apps (about 250) that I had in my previous Samsung phone work fine. All bank apps, payment apps and bank id (those that we use here in Sweden), smart home apps, news apps, social media apps, Google photos, You Tube Vanced all work fine. Had to re-pair my smartwatch (Wear OS) with the P40 Pro without reset (search here on XDA for the procedure). Now it works fine too. All notifications, videos and interactions on the watch work fine. The only apps I didn't get to work - Google Pay, Samsung Pay (of course ).
Google Play was installed out of the box. i downloaded all apps through there.
-google contacts not syncing.
-i get no push notifications like from the Ring app, youtube or ESPN. i did tap on allow when i first opened the apps.
-is there any way to get google news to appear when i swipe left on home screen?
google photos, maps, play store, stadia all seem right.
maybe there’s a solution. i read through older threads and didn’t find one.
any help appreciated.
I noticed that the preinstalled play store sometimes does not work properly. I had to reset device completely. Play services are part of the rom and available right after reset, I just had to download and install the play store itself.
Google Play Store 25.5.27-21 [0] [PR] 375135971 (nodpi)
43.43 MB (45,537,921 bytes)
As for notifications, you might wanna disable or delete the power save app from vivo and enable staying connected all time.
If you factory reset your phone, the first app to download from the vivo appstore is Gboard, which will prompt you to download Google play. I logged in to my google account afterwards and have no issues syncing to all my contacts, calendars etc
For notifications not appearing, a lot of users experience problems with the vivo provided power management app (com.vivo.pem) cause it interferes with how your apps sends notifications or frequency of push notifications to save power. You may use adb to disable it or uninstall. Hope this workaround addresses your push notification issue
i fixed the contacts and calendar (also had no calendar entries) sync issues. i went to APKMirror.com through chrome and downloaded the latest Google Play Store. I had version 24... on my phone and the latest was 26... I installed it through chrome and it installed over the existing app. I uninstalled calendar and contacts and re-installed them. calendar worked immediately on opening. but contacts didn’t. i went back to APKMirror.com and downloaded and installed Google Contacts Sync. I now have my contacts.
to get the push notifications working I went to Settings -> Applications and Permissions -> Permission management -> Permission - Background pop-ups and none of my installed apps were toggled on. since enabling them, I have received a couple of notifications with the phone in my pocket. maybe the vivo power management app is still causing problems because im not getting most notifications.
can someone point me to learn about "adb". I've seen that in a few places here and i don’t know what it is. im a long long time android user since google's first t-mobile phone but ive never had a need to tweak.
thanks for the help so far. just need to get my notifications and im pretty much all set.
so my only goal today was to install adb on my mac and "learn" how to use it and hopefully disable com.vivo.pem
installed on mac, enabled developer mode on x60, have access to device...
using: adb shell pm disable com.vivo.pem I got an error message
using: adb shell pm disable-user com.vivo.pem i got a successful prompt
when charging my phone and having the apps opened in the background (ESPN, Ring, Fast Mail) I do get push notifications. also get them while using the phone with the apps open in background. but with phone sleeping and in my pocket i get nothing. any ideas?
my issues are basically resolved. hopefully this will help others. I read in another thread to enable "mobile data always on" in the developer settings. as long as i have the apps open in the background, i now get push notifications when the phone is sleeping and in my pocket.
Which carrier are you using in the states? And do you have volte or vowifi?
im using it with tmobile. i don’t know how to check for volte or vowifi. i don’t actually use for phone calls. maybe make 1 or 2 calls a year. lol
Hi
I have a problem with google message. I can't send photos over 300kb
And now with encrypted RCS I can't send photos at all to a person using google RCS message too.
Any clues
Hello Everyone. I bought the orange 512gb X70 Pro+ from TradingShenZhen, and overall I am satisfied (but not 100% happy) with the CN Rom phone (BTW if I have the chance to flash it with Funtouch Global OS, I would do (pay) it without hesitation!).
After I set it up for first time (english language, wifi connection, etc) I downloaded all google apps I think are necessary for me (drive, photos, play store, etc) and I logged in with my Google account in all of them, downloaded WhatsApp, banking apps, and others. Everything seemed to work well. Then I saw that the phone was not receiving some notificactions like WhatsApp automatically, so I found a Set Up "Guide" from a website that was in German (I google translated it) and follow the instructions to remove CN apps from the Phone, and after that the phone started to receive WhatsApp notifications even if the app is not open.
Not having the Hey Google feature, Android Auto, the Google search bar in the main screen, not having the ability to clone apps (android default feature). Or setting Google as default (phone, messages, gmail, calendar, calculator, chrome). Manually setting up permissions, notifications, removing CN apps, or changing settings in general... I still can live with it, taking in mind those should be done once per each factory reset only.
My only "problem" so far: going Back to Google (mainly Google Drive Backup), the phone is backing up WhatsApp chats, media files, contacts; BUT the phone is not backing up: Apps, SMS messages, and Device Settings. When I launch Google Drive app, and click on "back up now" it says "couldn´t backup data. Try again later", I have tried the disable screen locks, logging out, loggin back in, force stop, clear cache, rebooting, uninstall and reinstall Google Drive, backup from Google One (it is stuck at "Starting first backup..."), and the problem persists. Fortunately for me, most important data is backing up, because in a worst case scenario (if my phone is completely dead) I could restore Google Backed up data and then download all the apps from Play Store, log in, and set the device settings manually.
I hope this information helps in someway and also if you know another step I could try for the Google Drive backup issue, or if there is a reliable app that can create backup for Apps, SMS, and device settings; I would really appreciate You to let me know.
Have a nice day!

You cannot have "G" futures (Hey Google feature, Android Auto, the Google search bar in the main screen..) as all these apps are not system apps. In Chinese model only Google Play Services are system app, all other apps are installed on request.

You can't have Hey Google, Android Auto and complete backup on the Chinese model. Everything else, including search bar, calendar, contacts, Google phone, Messages...goes, as you can see on attached pictures.
I was able to install the Google Play Store. Every google app works except this one. Google hangouts is going away so this is the only way I can get messages from hangouts. Not sure why this app crashes on startup. It just crashes right away.
I found another workaround. It seems like chat is integrated into gmail. I tested this even on the iphone and my 2 kindle tablets and it works. Also the video icon works too which doesn't appear in the standalone version for some reason.
Go into gmail settings > tap on the account email address > then scroll down and checkbox chat.
