[Q] [Google Edition][4.3] Phone not showing up in Play Store My Devices

I converted my HTC One from stock to the Google Edition 4.3, completely (CID, firmware, ROM). Everything on the phone works fine including the Play Store 4.3.10 and the Google services framework.
However in the My Devices section of the Play Store on the web my phone does not show up - just the previous installed one, which has not been seen online for a week or so.
The curious thing is: when going to the Android Device Manager the phone shows up correctly (the old one, and the new install).
I tried the following to resolve this:
Clear data of Google Play, Google Service Framework and Download management
Change my Android ID
Downgrade the Play Store and framework
Change the kernel from default to faux123
Remove and re-add my Google account
Try with different Google accounts
If someone has more suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
Being able to see my device in the Play Store in my browser enables me to push apps to the phone. Additionally, I can join communities in Google+ to enable beta channels of some apps.

How did you solve this?
I am exactly in the same issue

I believe these steps should fix the issue:
- Go to Apps, All and Force stop and delete cache of Google Play, Downloads and Google Services Framework
- Delete your Google account, reboot your phone, add it again
- Open the Play Store
- Reboot again
Note that clearing data of the Google Services Framework is normally not recommended but in this case it's already broken so you have to fix it.

I have a EVA-AL00 arriving tomorrow...what do I need to know?

Ok, so I bought a P9 ( EVA-AL00 ) since I've always been a fan of Leica products, and I'm a hobbyist photographer. First off, I currently use an iPhone 5s for the last 2 months, and before that was using a OnePlus One, and before that an iPhone 5c and Blackberry Passport, so I've had a variety ogf phones over the last 2 years. I'm not into hacking, or unlocking or locking bootloaders and that type of thing, which is why I generally like Apple products, as they just seem to work out of the box. I'm leaving my 5s because the screen is too small, and I like what the P9 offers for the money, at a cheaper price point than an iPhone 6s. And the Leica optics.
So, having said that, what do I need to know once I get the phone tomorrow? Any critical or important tips or tricks? Again, I'm not into anything complicated when it comes to phones like rooting, etc... I'm in Canada and my Carrier is Bell. My ANdroid experience has been with the OnePlus One I used for a while, and I was generally pleased with it.
Thanks

Ok, so phone arrived. I made a mistake. It's a EVA-DL00.
It's running EVA-DL00C17B163, and I'm currently updating to 168. This is a CHinese version of the phone, from my understanding. I'm using it in English, but some things are still in Chinese. Is there any way to to flash with other software to make it all English?

Welcome to the club
I recently bought the EVA-L10 (Chinese Dual-Sim, "premium" version, 4G/64G) while in Shanghai, and I have the same "problem" as you.
Basically since Google is not available in China, the phones sold in China don't come with Google Android framework, they use a "non-google Android", based of the official Android.
So, to your question, will it be possible to flash another firmware over your phones firmware? I say Yes, however at the same time I'm lying, because I'm also looking for this firmware for my phone, but if someone posts a EVA-L29 Firmware somewhere on the Interweb, I'm most certain this firmware will work on my phone and should also work on yours (might require bootloader unlock and root, but so what..).
But the phone is, chinese apps or not, awesome
/S

You can install Google stuff. Just download the Google Play store from the Huawei store, and then have at 'er installing all the normal Google Play apps that you want. That's what I'm currently doing. I just want to get rid of all the Chinese stuff on the phone. ALso, switch the keyboard to the regular Android one in the settings.

Hi!
Of course, but there are still some applications that are "System Applications" that you cant get rid of, like HiCare, HiApp, .. etc. and if you are in a country using special characters like ü or åäö, these are not rendered correct in the Mail app (shows up as chinese chars).

Have you checked out the contacts yet, .. did you manage to sync contacts from your Google account? Because my contacts from google dont show up in the Huawei built in "Contacts" App (which is also used by the dialer). Only contacts from Skype, LinkedIn, WeChat etc. are shown.

Hi,
I also bought a P9 ( EVA-AL00 ) last June, and currently i'm having an issue.
Usually i don't have games on my phone, or almost none, but some days ago, i wanted to install Heartstone on my P9. When downloading , at about 85%, sometimes 9x% (once it reached 100%) suddently it pops out from Google Play, and don't install the game. I tried also with other games and it happens the same. It doesn't happens with every game, i tested sucessfully with Stack and Sokoban
I have plenty of free space on phone and several applications installed (no Google Play issue, i think).
After i received the phone, i download the Google services/play store APK without issues. I deactivated the chinese bloatware, with no issues. Once Google Play installed, i downloaded all other Google Apps i use and others without issues...well there is an issue i had with RT app. It installed ok, but sometimes when i want to open it, i have to try several times to open it... I click on icon but closes.
Have someone here with EVA-AL00 having this issue also?
Thanks!

I just bought the non-carrier specific 3G / 32G Chinese version (EVA AL00) P9 when I was in Guangzhou last week and had to do the following after coming back home to get it to work with google and sync with two google accounts.
1. Install Google Play Store from HiApp and sign in with first google account.
2. Make sure to give Google Play Store permission to access storage, otherwise large apps won't install.
3. Download apk of Google Contacts Sync from APKMirror
4. Download apk of Google Calendar Sync from APKMirror
5. Use the browser on the phone to download these two apk files and follow the instruction on the phone to install them.
Sorry I'm not allowed to post outside links yet, however google search keywords like Google Contacts Sync APK will turn up the download links.
6. Since the phone still did not allow me to add a second google account in Settings -> Accounts -> Add Account, I had to install Youtube and use the Add Account in Youtube to add a second google account.
After these steps, I was able to sync contacts and calendar events with both google accounts and install apps from Play Store.

Hi, I too recently purchased a Huawei P9 EVA- AL00 , my issue is that I cannot source the Drivers for this model and I have searched the web on several occasions and several web sites? I am trying to unblock the bootloader so I can change over to English version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ZTE Axon M 128GB Chinese Edition Oreo Update removes Google functionality

Yesterday I updated to Oreo as the ZTE Axon M update service showed a new update available. On update Google Play would no longer launch and Play Services was not functioning. The Google Application services were pre-installed on the phone when purchased and shipped from AliExpress.
I figured I would reset the phone and on reset all Google functionality was removed.
I figured I would simply install the GAPPS services again and followed this thread:
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...-store-without-gapps-google-services-0176241/
However once everything installs and I launch the Play Store I get a white blank screen.
I would have expected to be prompted for the Google Account login screen and if I check Accounts from settings I can see that there is a Google Account listed but not configured and if I click it I am told to add the account from the relevant app. There is no other shortcut installed though other than Google Play Store which hangs as described previously.
I have tried various other ways to get this sorted out but the end result is the same, inability to add a google account and no way to launch the play store.
I considered YalpStore but its really not fit for purpose because anything that requires the Google Play Services framework will not run.
My phone is not rooted but it appears it does not need to be for GAPPS install functionality. I can see many threads that say this works without the need for rooting (and in any event there are no guides for rooting an Axon M).
My question is simply how do I the Google Play Store and Google Play Services to work on the ZTE Axon M with the Oreo update ? It is driving me nuts and I would never have proceeded with the update if I had realised it would simply be removed.

Same
I'm. Having the same problem I tryed everything

Me too please we want solution

Did you try the same package used for the Xiaomi devices? I have to play on that (it's the rev 2).

I tried, same issue crashing

I tried multiple methods too, but to no avail.
I do suspect a possibility. The previous time when i managed to get my gapps working when i first got the Chinese set, i had to disable the "Mi-Assistant" App as that was the one preventing my Google Play Services from Auto-Running even though it was set to allow. This time, I can not even see Google Play Services in the Auto-Run Manager and while i tried to force stop and disable the "Mi-Assistant" App, it does not allow me to disable.
I hope this info can help provide some leads to an expert who would be able to help us get back our GApps running again.
Thanks.

I do agree... meanwhile take a look here: https://code.tutsplus.com/articles/10-alternative-android-app-stores--cms-20999

good morning I found the application with the google play store inside the play store zte. After several attempts I managed to install a heavy game (1.3 GB) as ADERA disabling all the Chinese apps, keeping the display always active, I only downloaded via wi-fi. So I managed to download it without problems (I do not know which of these changes worked). the application has a triangular design with central red, the word Google followed by two Chinese characters

yes oreo 8.1 axon m 6 / 128gb. If there is the possibility I can post images of the app. One thing the app inside contains the play store but the apps that you download do not appear on the home of the device but within the app itself

Sounds like an emulator to me.. Would be great if you could provide the images of the app. Any small information helps.
Btw, to all, i did manage to download a GApps installer which seemed promising, cause at least it went into the login page for Google Account. But then the error of requesting to update "Google Play Services" popped up again and again and everything went down the drain again. Will try further and hopefully will have good news.

I'm new on the forum you have to explain to me how to post the images. thank you

Dears... did you see that in the ZTE Store?

There is an application in the ZTE Market that installs a pseudo Google Play but it is sandboxed somehow and you have to launch this app to get access to your installs - feels very insecure to me - I just want a clean Google Play on the device

unfortunately for now it is the only solution I found. Otherwise you must use third-party app stores such as amazon, aptoide, etc.

I posted a link with a few of alternative stores (the best is to get the apk stand-alone ihmo) but if it is to follow that sandbox ways, as suggest, create a new "junky" account just to have it registered.

Any Update??!!

Google services install in chinese Samsung

Hi
I hope I am in the right place as I have tried various other forums.
I realize that this could be very technical, but willing to give it a try, as I am nowhere near any place that could help me.
I need to install ALL google services on a chinese tablet (samsung GT-N5100) AKA Galaxy note 8. I have tried a lot of APK's but have been unsuccessful.
I know it runs Android 4.1.2, ARM architecture, and 190 dpi screen.
I seem to have installed google services framework 4.1.3 - 509230, but not sure if it is doing anything as there is no services or playstore.
I have been able to download and install Google chrome and it works 100%
I also tried adding my device on my google account, but because there is no google services, I do not have a "google"account option in "add account"
Anyone that could please assist?

Google Play Store and Services on Chinese bought P30 Pro?

Hi,
My friend is on a trip to China and is interested in getting a P30 Pro there, but China doesn't allow Google in their country. He's wondering if there is any way to install the Play Store and the related services so they can be used when he comes back to the UK.
I've seen some apk's, while searching about this topic, that supposedly install GMS etc but I'm not sure how legit/trustworthy those are, since from my experience with custom software, I've had to use TWRP to install Gapps properly.
Thanks in advance for your help
PS: The specific model number is VOG-AL10

You can install the Play Store from within the Huawei app store, App Gallery.
You need to first update the 'App Gallery' app then in the latest version under updates it will hidden under "Not recommended."
After you install the "update" Play services and everything will be enabled.
Updated versions of the Play Store will be posted in the App Gallery as well (that's been my experience with other Huawei phones anyways).

Using this method all Google Services run normally (notifications, location, sync, etc)? I'm used to flashing Gapps on custom ROMs on my phones so I thought you needed to that everywhere, or I guess Huawei can do these kinds of special installations through their store equally effectively.

You can install GSM, Play store and all the google apps and they will work good.
The only thing that will not works (without magisk) is Google Pay, because the phone is not certified and it will not pass Safenet tests (as on China Xiaomi phones).

I have the VOG-AL10 bought in China and am now using it in the UK. The Play Store works fine (downloaded from Huawei's App Gallery) & I have installed all the normal Google apps without problem. I couldn't install Play Store in China due to the restricted internet, but installed it in the UK. One weird thing I found is that I had to keep the App Gallery's region as China to install Play Store as it disappeared when I changed the region to the UK (in App Gallery go to Me > Settings > Country/Region).
This model is not Play Protect Certified so the NFC part of Google Pay doesn't work (and you need to sideload Netflix), but I've had no problem using Google Pay for in app purchases.

If it was that easy then the guide would just tell you to do that, there is more missing than Google play store etc, that lz play app installs the prerequisites needed for Play and other google apps to work
