Hello,

I have bought huawei Mate 8 (4/64) chineese version on ibuygou.com for review in my country . I wish they had installed google play services etc but they didnt.

I have tried with Google installer - it didn't help (method the same as in xiaomi devices). Next I have tried to install google play services.apk and google play.apk from apkmirror, but after I have written my email and password, there was written that there is no connect or sth like this - try again later. I checked account menagment in settings if I could login in google account, but there was no such option.

So my question is: Has anyone method to install google play, google services on this smartphone? I hope that anyone can help me, I will be so grateful ! :)

Open HiStore (The Huawei app store) and search google, the first little banner that pops up click it, there should now be a list of the google apps. Install them. Change some permissions and you should be good.

Also install the app in the internal storage in case you have a micro sd installed.

ok so the solution here works great but when downloading larger apps such as zombies run or NFS No limits the playstore would force close and download fails without warning.

has anyone experienced this? could it be to do with the download manager?

Mine had the same problem before i changed the rom to the international one. And i know some people having the same problem.. Still no solution...

Why do people say there is no solution?!

I've seen some guy encounter this issue and then find a solution for it, and now it works perfectly for him.
Something to do with system app and permissions i think was all.

Also, you need to give Play Store internal storage permission to download those large games, until I did that I had same issue as you with large game installs appearing to cause the Play Store to crash.

As you can see a simple search and you can find the answers...

Appreciate this. I've tried trusting the entire google play store app which should allow everything but that didn't help. cleared data and stuff + reboot - nothing.

But seeing how someone did manage to solve it, I will give it another go before flashing. Thanks

solved. The UI is sort of confusing because I needed to bring up another (native?) permissions manager in order to enable storage permissions. could be a security feature.. no idea.

either search for "permissions" inside settings, or reach it by going to Apps > Advanced.

I'm planning to get the Chinese version (only one for now that has 4gb RAM and higher storage) and my question is does the phone come with English out of the box? Thanks
