Hi! I'm from the Philippines. I just want to consult about a problem of mine. My mother bought an S3 LTE (i-9305) from a local seller here. Upon opening, we learned that it came from Portugal (TMN). It says "Modified" on the status. It is also on Android 4.1.1.
Anyway, when I'm trying to upload a photo on Instagram, it will just freeze on the portion where I will choose the filter for the photo. It will be stuck like that for a few minutes and will just redirect me to its home page. I can choose the photo to upload but I can't upload it.
I tried clearing its cache on the Applications page and re-install the app, but to no avail.
I haven't noticed any problem with any of the apps installed, just Instagram.
I hope someone could help me.
Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I found this bit on their HELP page.
App crashes when applying a filter (Android only).
We are fixing an issue where the Android app crashes and returns users to the Instagram Feed screen (without uploading the photo) or crashes and returns to the device's home screen when trying to apply a filter.
Some users have fixed this issue by increasing the camera resolution setting from their device's camera settings, or by updating to the newest operating system available for their device.
Please note that some devices seeing this crash do not support OpenGL ES 2, which is the technology required to power Instagram's filters. Devices that do not support OpenGL ES 2 will not be able to run Instagram properly. Find more information on whether your device is supported.
How would I know that my S3 has OpenGL ES 2? The camera is already set to its highest resolution and has the newest OS (via Kies).
Hello fellow XDAers
Yesterday I received my MI9T Pro and I gotta say I'm pretty happy with it (the most annoying thing is the fingerprint scanner not working most of the times but I will try to add better my fingerprint maybe it will work out)
So I started to de-bloat apps via Fastboot and ADB (for some reason the Xiaomi java tool does not work for me, stays in looking for devices and then just freezes), so I searched a few forums and picked a few services that I thought they were unnecessary (like mi cloud, google apps like duo and facebook and some other mi apps), and now I cannot open the Recorder, Notes and also Gallery...
Message is ''Notes keeps stopping''
Again, I read on the packages list and picked on from there, I am pretty sure I didn't deleted things named like that, so I need to install those apps again but I do not know how to do it ONLY via fastboot.
Please help :crying:

Hey, make sure that before using the (Java) tool you have enabled 'Developer Options', you can do that by going to About Phone and then tapping the build number (Miui Version) a few times, then head to additional settings, developer settings and make sure that you have 'USB Debugging' enabled.

thanks, I have to say I forgot about this thread, but I reset the phone at the end..and now I will be more focused on what package to not remove
I was hesitant to buy P40 Pro (I had P30 pro) because of a lack of GMS. But I am spontaneous and had a birthday... and both one
My first observations:
+Great camera - especially zoom one!
+video is better
+Has double tap to wake up, boy how I missed this I disabled it - too many self unlocks
+Fast!
+UFS 3 is a lot faster internal storage than 2 on P30 - downloading pictures is 2x faster over WiFi
-the screen is a bit darker than P30's?
-this huge cutout on a screen for useless (for me!) 3D camera
-has pre-applied screen protector I removed it and now is fine
-The wide camera is 18mm instead of 16mm in P30 Pro
- battery last shorter time
more + and - will come as I use it from 5 h
Now about missing services - phone clone app is by far the best cloning solution I ever used - in 5 minutes I had an almost exact copy of my P30!!! Minus Google Chrome and something else, I can't remember I miss Chrome but for now, with some minor hiccups, FireFox is filling the gap! Chrome is the best I installed it
All apps I use are up and running for the moment - future updates I need to figure it out how to backup calendar? - The internal backup app is doing the job remain to be seen restore if needed
In General, I am happy with it, only time can prove me wrong
Thanks for sharing your experiences! Still doubting to buy this phone. Chromecast and lack of Strava are the only things really holding me back at the moment.
Chrome I never use anyway (Firefox preview is nice!), I suppose Brave Browder doesn't work either? Or does it?

Today using apkmirror I instaled chrome and google gallery - they work thou cant make chrome sign in with my account
Aha alright. Have you tried APKPure already? This app keeps your apps up to date as well. Or AuroraStore, it's kind of similar I believe. Same goes for the Amazon AppStore, or AppGallery of course. I just hope developers will make apps for AppGallery as well, so we can enjoy Netflix in HD instead of SD, hehe.

Of about 120 apps there's only 1 that i really need which I can't get to run (parklio, they rely on google for the login it seems).
I can easily replace the weather apps that won't work without google, a couple of apps like Banking keep complaining about missing google play services but still work.
Somehow it feels really good to be able to get rid of google in one way or another.
After some time of usage - updating apps seems to be an issue - I played Clash of clans for some years (nursing children accounts too ) and when moved to P40 everything seems to be ok BUT new version seems to be a problem - found the game in Amazon store - when tried to install it sais uninstall first - I'll lose all accounts after new version arrived tried again this time Amazon Instaled the game as e second version without accounts ....
I have all my apps and games without GMS. Just Sparkasse Bank in Germany haven't but in the future I believe that it will be solved.
And I'm happy without GMS. And my Handy is also happy without Googles devil in my phone.
Is there a chance to run the store and other applications without pop-up notifications? I have tried several articles but none of them remove notifications about the lack of certificates. After 30 minutes of attempts, google frimework id returns, I delete the old gsm application and install v2 but notifications like that are still there. Anyone have any idea or know the solution?
The P40 Pro has been a blessing in disguise. Challenging at first, it has been a great exercise to eliminate my reliance on Google services. The only Google app that I have installed (other than Android lol) is YouTube Vanced. I just wanted the player instead of the website, and I'm not even logging into it.
I'm also using Waze which apparently is owned by Google, but it does not rely on GMS at all. I do miss Google Maps a little, especially my custom maps and pins everywhere. Time will tell if I really need to come up with a workaround, but I'd rather not pollute my phone
Using mainly APKPure and APKMirror, I got all my apps back. Some apps throw Play Services error when trying to access some features, but overall they've retained all the functionality that I care about. I was never much of a "digitally connected/synced" person to begin with. I don't like logging into apps left and right or having them store my activity online, so maybe this switch is easier for me than others. I also never really used GMail for anything but Android related stuff, and I stopped using Microsoft/Outlook accounts in favor of Protonmail, once again trying to reduce my reliance on the tech giants.
Can we live without Google if they do not want us?
We can use the best phone without Google
My advise:
install Microsoft New Edge browser to notebook and sign in with your microsoft account. Do the same on P40 Pro. For Install, I use AppGallery, when app is not there I use APKPure. Some apps did not work if I used some other Store.
Install:
OneDrive - not only one of the best cloud drive, with this app you can upload photos to notebook and then forward to google photos from notebook.
Outlook - it can superb handle gmail AND google calendar. I have shared google calendars with my wife and kids. Outlook can do this. I do not know any other app that can do that.
Here we go - Excellent navigation. I have allways used Google Maps. It is the best. Period. But, as I daily drive 300+km, Maps often do not find the address. I then used app Here, wich did the job. We still can use Google Maps App, you only can not sign in to the app. In that case i have browser bookmark at home screen. So, with maps we are good covered. (there are more apps that are great, but this is enough)
Problem is with our Bank Apps.
I have accounts at 2 Banks, I am forced to have two, not big deal. My point here: One Bank work great over my browser. Confirmation number I get to SMS. It is not ideal, but it works.
Another bank use app that produce onetime code. There is not workaround with the browser.
I have solved that another way: my another Huawei (P smart Z). This phone can use GMS. I installed AirDroid to PsmartZ and all APPS that do not work on P40 Pro. Then, I installed AirMirror to P40 Pro. When needed, I can connect to P smart Z from anywhere, use that app and then close the connection.
Apps that do not work:
-Google apps where you have to sign in
-Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator
-SmartRemote Bosch (unbelivable)
-Lidl, Lidl Plus (unbelivable)
-ChargeMap, ABRP
-DEĊ½ - simple but great rain radar picture here in Slovenia
What we need fast is ability to pay wih phone. Huawei must do more here.
But my bank have send me email, they are working on their banking app to work with new Huawei Phones, YESSSS!!
I will write more, I have run out of tint
I still do not understand, why google do not sell GMS online?
Google can not work with Huawei, but can sell software to me, or not?
Outook is really great app. It can sync google contacts!!!!!!
Good to know, If anybody need this.... I DO!!!!!
I posted some of this elsewhere but this feels like a good thread to put useful non GPS info into. I got my P40 Pro yesterday and am hoping to avoid GPS as it seems to be quite a complicated process that does not always stick and needs repeating regularly. Also the opportunity to de-google is actually quite tempting. Here is what I have found so far:
- My Lastpass, PayPal and banking apps work totally fine as before. What is interesting though is I saw some info that said that these work ok if you transfer using Phone Clone but may stop working if you then update them using other sources. I have another droid so will likely manage updates for these by Phone Clone
- Outlook seems to work ok for notifications but I am not sure they come through as regular as they should. I think it would be good to start a list of apps that do not rely on GPS to push notifications. Sadly Newton mail does
- Google photos is the hardest to replace seamlessly, Amazon photos should be a good alternative (if you have prime) but just seems to crash constantly. I have OneDrive but am still considering if I want to carry on using Google photos as my main photo repo, such a shame that DropBox stopped carousel as that was great!
- Chrome actually seems to work, you just cannot login.
If there are any fellow non-GPS people out there shared experiences appreciated!
Hello,
I found this uservoice at microsoft for teams.
https://microsoftteams.uservoice.co...mobile-app-work-on-latest-huawei-devices-with
If you use Teams don't forget to vote
Hope MS do something ...
What is annoying is that there is a non GMS version in the Chinese Huawei app store for the Chinese market (Google it), so why not put this in the non Chinese app store....
MS Teams Not receiving Calls
I having a bit weird problem. I installed MS Teams on Huawei P40 Pro, however, when receing calls, I don't get any rings. I onoy get a missed call notification. I tried re-installing, cearing all caches, enabling all types of notifications, removing anything related to battery optimization but still its not working. Any help?
Is there anyway to get onto the Chinese app store to get it?

as you know already .. pretty much all notifications are screwed-up .. a 'ring' is just like a notification.
i've found this:
https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/microsoftteams/get-teams-android-in-china
and at this link it downloads an apk directly... https://aka.ms/teams_baidu_direct_dl as the huawei link does redirect to appgallery, thats again telling app not available in our region... but the apk it does work:
its an older version of the app... but still after installingand configure it says that gms is needed so i'm not sure if there is a really a non-gms version of teams
Hi. I'm posting this as it's a question I had and couldn't find a solution via Google. I have found the answer to my question and hope that it helps others with the same problem. Also it would be nice to know if any of you also experienced the same and how you dealt with it.
I had this problem with my P20 pro where everytime I opened a pdf file in my 'files' app, it would open a default program Adobe Fill & Sign. After that, there'd be 2 of the same file in my 'files' app. I would have to go to the optimiser, cleanup and manually delete duplicate files everytime I'd see them.
Today, almost 2years later, I decided to try another app as my default pdf opener, I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader from the app store. Viola my problems are solved. I deleted the Fill & Sign app and am much happier.
Have any of you had a similar problem? Would like to know.
