[Archibald1963]

I used better way ...just enabled manual applications start up in settings...

 

[ChrisFoster]

Huawei MatePad Pro 11 (GOT-AL09),
HarmonyOS 3.0.0.186
I cannot use G-app because after install (restore) and launch app I see error on chinese: 'Sorry, this device is not currently supported.'
But it step 4 from huagu3.apk list and I cannot proceed next. Can somebody help with it?

Hi there, using a Mate 40 Pro. Recently just updated from HarmonyOS 2.0 to HarmonyOS 3.0. I've got my GMS installed on HarmonyOS 2.0. But when I updated to HarmonyOS 3.0, GMS doesn't work so well. Google Maps took a bit longer to locate my location. Youtube only works after opening several times but it also popped up "YouTube Keeps Stopping" if the app doesn't open. When I open a bus service app, it doesn't show the Google Map but only "Google Play services are updating". Anyone experiencing this issue?

Hi @Alxjamuschua Did you fix this issue?

All my apps that are using Google Maps don't work because "Google Play Services are updating".

Or has anyone in this thread found a solution to this issue, please? I would be very grateful !!

Thanks in advance!

Confirmed, I have it installed and it works on Huawei Mate 50 local version. Just keep calm and follow each step correctly
During the installation process, you may not be able to run Google Play, but you just need to clear the data and run Google Paly to try again.

*** Update : Running Gmail has an error that the application needs google services. After 6 hours, the Google applications are not running because of the error: Google does not support this device.

I have mate50 pro as well it came with emui13 and I have changed region from to china just to update to harmony os 3.0.0.189 (says latest)..

However I cannot get LZ play the purple Chinese google services app to work.. it says device not compatible. In your steps above do you use this app? How did you get it to work? Is it need to set region to china or?

Hi to everyone.

How come ancola66 was able to get gms installed on his mate 50 pro? Was it neither Chinese or global firmware?

His original firmware is Chinese. And it cannot be changed. The Chinese firmware is the only one that allows you to natively install Google Services.

Interesting observation, if that's the case, the only explanation I can conceive would be Huawei is deliberately limiting the number of devices which are capable of installing Google service.

Well the real question is whether it is a firmware or hardware issue. If just firmware then by theory I can also flash my mate 50 pro with the Chinese harmony os3. FYI my device originally was EMUI13. I changed the region from Malaysia to Hong Kong (China) and searched for update and this allowed me to update to harmony os 3.0.0.189. So I believe my device now has the Chinese firmware. Question is why can't lz play run? Is it cos my hardware is different? My model number is DCO-LX9. Or am I missing something?

I only know that LZPlay works on phones with Chinese firmware of origin.

Hey, I have the same problems with P40 Pro rebranded to Chinese ROM (HarmonyOS 3.0). For now the best solution, that works well, is to use Gbox app and clone apps that need to use Google Maps to work. I can confirm that it works good. I don't know what Huawei did in HarmonyOS 3.0, but on 2.0 everything worked well.

Here I typed a post at the official Harmony OS developers forum telling this bug in HOS 3.0 update.

It would be nice if more people with a Huawei phone support me in this thread that I opened so that they can solve this important bug:

There are a few differences:
1. Your phone code is still the international version even though you have changed to Harmony OS >>> Phone manager will easily detect this.
2. The latest update of the Chinese domestic version is .197 and yours is the latest .189. That proves that Harmony OS is written specifically for international and domestic device codes. They have different bootloaders.
I also encountered a few cases in Vietnam and the solution to install Google still had to be used through the Light Hause application.
