I am based in the UK and officially own the Huawei Mate 40 Pro. I will say now it's a ridiculously good phone. I cannot fault it at all. Ask me anything you like in regards to it (design, Usage, etc) ... Happy to answer all questions
Great. I am thinking to upgrade P30 pro but very skeptical due to Google.
How u transfer full Whatsapp and how is realistic experience without Google (automatic photo upload, contact sync, G drive, Google duo etc)
Hello
Right, to transfer full WhatsApp you'll need to copy & paste your WhatsApp folder into the Huawei (internal storage) specifically you'll need the "Databases" folder but I would copy the whole WhatsApp folder over so you have your photos, voice notes, videos etc. It's a tiny bit annoying, however, it's the only way to successfully restore your whole WhatsApp history onto the Huawei ?
The experience without google, for me, is really good. Yeah I won't lie, it would be nice to have google services on the mate 40 pro but it's a compromise I'm willing to live in, just need to put in some work to have the dbejxe to my liking. Photo/video/music uploads you can use the MEGA app, simply download it using huaweis Petal search. Contact sync I simply sent all my contacts by bluetooth from my old device to the new hauwei. Or you can back them up on your p30 pro to your Huawei account and download them to your new Huawei. G drive isn't working at all because it's needs gms. I needed g drive for my WhatsApp backup but I had to use the above method I've mentioned google Duo just won't work for now but I use WhatsApp video calls as the best alternative. Gmail doesn't work. But instead of gmail I use Outlook which is a very good email platform. Youtube doesn't work but youtube vanced is the much better alternative (no adverts and had background play)
Thank you for your honest and solid reply.
I am extremely inclinded to this device but the region where I live (Middle East) the whatsapp calls are blocked and we have to rely on Google Duo (personal) & MS Teams for official calls (MS Teams not yet available on App Gallery).
How about launchers (I use Nova launcher)
Honestly speaking, i dont see any other phone which can challenge Mate40 Pro (nor Note 20, niether iPhone 12)
simillar to other apps , several local apps are also not available (Yes we can install via petal search or even other stores but i am not sure they might be dependednt on Google Services)

Why had the middle east blocked WhatsApp calls ? ? There are many alternatives, Skype, Viber, etc
Haven't tried nova launcher but will definitely get back to you on that
Currently the only apps which aren't working are Maps, gmail, g drive but I've found alternatives. Netflix works but not on full hd
Hello.
Did you manage to get chrome, poweramp music player, Uber, careem, Snapseed?
How about the games? I have invested in play store like extreme landings etc
Thank you for the answering

Chrome works flawless, PowerAmp also but the rest will probably don't work because it needs GMS. Games are a thing for itself some work without GMS and some don't
What bank apps not working? And what will i miss if i join huawei from iPhone?
You can record screen at 90fps ?
Can I check with you that the Silky water mode can be used with all 3 rear camera lenses with the Mate 40 Pro? Thanks

I have guidance in Maps, only on 10.49.3 version (of the latest versions).
Glad you have got 1! I'm deciding on whether too but no GMS is a pain, looking to get the deal from the Huawei Store but i few questions,
As your in the UK do you have any banking apps working?
If you use Spotify and YouTube Vanced can you cast to devices?
What keyboard do you use? I've been a long time gboard user but obviously this will be an issue.
Thanks!

Hi, I updated my mate 40 pro to emu 11 and now magazine unlock is not working anymore. Do you have the same problem?
Mate40 pro comes with EMUI 11 ... what update did you make ??
Does the new EMUI always on display show notification icons for third party apps e.g. Outlook, WhatsApp? Does the MicroG method for getting some third party apps notifications
still work?
Mate40 pro comes with EMUI 11 ... what update did you make ??
@future3: I receive notifications from WhatsApp in AoD.

So I got the Pioneer 8100NEX setup last night. After flashing OxygenOS on my phone (BlissPop wouldn't work due to the DPI issue) I am up and running with Android Auto. However, when going through the music app option all I have is Google Music. The other main app I use for tunes and general listening is TuneIn which, while installed and apparently should work, is not showing up. I searched the settings for TuneIn and didn't notice anything obvious. Is this a Pioneer setting I am going to wait for or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
I realize this is a dusty post, but did you ever get TuneIn to appear in AA? I'm having the same issue on my Nexus 6P.
Allow me to spray some Pledge/Endust on this topic as well. I have a Moto X Pure Edition running TruPureXMM 2.6 and I just purchased a 2016 Honda Civic EX with Android Auto built-in. Everything about it works great: Maps, Hangouts, Play Music with voice search, the whole thing. EXCEPT: similar to the posters above, when touching the Audio button to see other apps, the only app listed is Google Play Music. I should also note that I have multiple Auto-compatible audio apps in addition to TuneIn Radio Pro; I also have BeyondPod, Pandora, and iHeartRadio. None of them appear. Google support is non-existent at this point, which is a little unsettling as more and more carmakers are offering stock options with Android Auto.
I'm not any kind of expert, but I'm wondering if this is a side effect of having a rooted and/or custom ROM installed. Mine is stock based for my phone but it is rooted and I see that the OP had a custom ROM as well. I don't know what you are running @monorailmedic. Any information or assistance from someone who has experienced this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Do you have any adblock app running on your phone?

Disabling AdAway had no effect. However, I believe I have resolved the issue.
I mentioned that I have TuneIn Radio Pro, but I did not mention that I got it through the Amazon App Store rather than Google Play. (It was a free app of the day many moons ago.) I installed the regular version of TuneIn from the Play Store and...voila, it appeared in Auto. Same thing with the other apps - I had installed them outside of Google Play, and apparently Auto doesn't like that. Reinstalling through the Play Store got me up and running.
I don't know if that scenario is also your issue @monorailmedic, but mine has been resolved this way.

I too got the Pro version from Amazon years ago when it was a freebie. I'll try downloading the version from the Play Store in the morning. I wrote to TuneIn today, so if this is the issue, it'd be swell if they provided me the key to the newer pro version via the Play Store.

In fact, I mentioned a possible block because IMHO the apps for Android Auto can't work if they aren't able to contact the Google Play store for license activation.

Interesting... Besides license validation of protected apps (which the dev controls) this is the first instance I recall hearing where sideloaded apps won't work.
Developers of AA compatible apps can't just sideload either, even just for testing. App has to go through Google Play as a special AA beta test.
Google requires that all AA compatible apps (and their updates) be tested by them and approved for not being distracting. This is part of their protection for that. Sideloaded or Amazon etc. apps can't be guaranteed to have gone through this testing. (Actually an MD5 of the APK or similar could be done, but that could be abused on rooted devices and Google prefers everything goes through Play anyway.)
So, how are you all using TuneIn? I've been immensely disappointed that there's no favorites/presets list available via AA. Nor is there even the recent stations list available. So, how in the world do you access the stations you want? The lists that are available seem really truncated and have only strange channels I've never heard of. I was able to use voice commands once but now that isn't working and one of my stations wasn't accessible that way either. So, the whole app seems to be essentially useless to me via the AA interface. Bluetooth streaming still works, but defeats the purpose and of course then there's no access to any of the other aspects of AA.

I too have the pro version from Amazon, which i got for free. In order to get it to work with Android Auto you have to install it using google play as the vendor. Same goes with other apps that you sideload
1. Install Tunein Pro from Amazon Store.
2. Save the apk installer file using es Explorer. hxxp://android.stackexchange.com/questions/75360/is-it-possible-to-backup-apk-from-an-installed-application
3. Uninstall Tunein Pro
4. Reinstall using ADB hxxps://pixplicity.com/setting-install-vendor-debug-app/
I tested it and it works
You can also "unblock" non-play store apps in AA. Open AA on your phone, then go to "information" then tap many times on the upper bar... it will reveal "developer options". Now tap on 3-dot menu and set developer mode. You should see more apps through car headunit.

Thanks! Too bad my theme does not support it yet because I already like it better than Google Now Launcher.

A lot of android apps I'm using but my favorite for OP3 is ZenUI Dialer & Contacts. It helps me to manage my calls, SMS and contacts.

Using stock launcher as the new side panel thing has a pretty nice UI.

News: Reddit, Feedly
Games: NFS No Limits, Pokemon GO, Vainglory, Hearthstone

Is vainglory confortable to play on this large screen (I mean for instance phone in hands like in transport or idk)
CF.lumen - allows me to use my phone at night but still get wonderful sleep afterwards.
Google Dialer - blocks spam calls much better than stock dialer
Le DPI Changer - set to 430, see more on screen (similar DPI feel to N6P)
Titanium Backup - make widgets for apps i ocassionally use (gasbuddy, google wallet, etc)
Google Duo - best-performing and easy to use video/audio calling app, hands down
FBreader - for reading eBooks, has full black background which makes reading in the evening on AMOLED really nice.
Solid Explorer - best file explorer hands-down (with or w/o root), even has cloud connectivity and fingerprint security now.
If you want to keep your phone stock:
[*]Twilight - not as good as CF.lumen, but still works pretty well and similarly allows me to use my phone at night but still get wonderful sleep afterwards.
[*]NetGuard- for full network control and filtering of traffic (uses local VPN API)
[*]Google Duo - best-performing and easy to use video/audio calling app, hands down
[*]Solid Explorer - best file explorer hands-down (with or w/o root), even has cloud connectivity and fingerprint security now.
[*]FBreader - for reading eBooks, has full black background which makes reading in the evening on AMOLED really nice.

Hey,
how do you guys do this? is this even possible to P30 Pro? I also have xiaomi poco and it can play 2 games simultaneously without pausing the other app. while in P30 Pro, it pauses when my touch switch to other app.
did you find out if this is possible?

I know u can play youtube and go to whatsapp, for example. Im not sure about games.
Sorry for late reply. You need Dr. Clone for this. Somehow this is the only clone app I know that has a built-in multi-resume feature. That means you need to play games within Dr. Clone in order to play at the same time without pausing.
Hi,
Did you try to 'un-optimize' the targeted apps in battery management?
Don't know, but first read sound like emui aggressive settings may put quickly app in idle mode'
Report if its help.

Hi all, I've been tinkering about with the P40 Pro and while its a lovelly device, the lack of access to the pay store was a show stopper. There is a really easy solution though, its the Aurora cloned Google Play Store (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/galaxy-playstore-alternative-t3739733) which works just fine on the P40 and doesnt have all the privacy issues of Google Play....
How do you get notifications? Only a few apps provide fast & consistent notifications without hacks
Aurora store handles app updates just fine. Was that the issue you were referring to?
Hello,
I just bought this device. And the best solution I found to have the Google applications is to use Gspace and Youtube Vanced.
Especially to be able to restore purchases via Google Play. And use the applications dependent on Google Play for notifications etc.
If Youtube vanced doesn't work try with this way
Enjoy
