'Your device isn't compatible with this version' - Huawei Mate 10 Questions & Answers

I've just got my Huawei Mate 10 and absolutely loving it. Just can't help but noticed that there are certain apps in the google play whereby i just couldn't install the app. Anyone having this issue? Oh, and there's the Tap&Pay thing but I couldn't download Android Pay, is it resticted by region?

Some apps havent tested with Kirin 970 i guess.
You can simply download the apk from apkmirror and install it for most of the app

These problems are solved by updating your phone to B119, assuming it's the C636 variant.
You can either use FunkyHuawei and update now, or wait for Huawei to push an OTA.

Ah I see.. Thanks for the prompt reply.
And I've noticed something. When you're in silent or vibrate mode and you take a pic, you can still hear the shutter sound.
In apps like Instagram and whatsapp, shutter sound is on even though you're in silent mode. You can change the settings in stock camera, but not in 3rd party apps. That's what I've noticed so far.

[GUIDE] Temporary fix for the google play store hanging in waiting for network.

Hello guys.
Many users, including me, stumbled across this problem the past couple of days.
There seems to be an issue with the latest Google Play Store version, which becomes stuck on waiting for network if you try to download something at random times.
This is very frustrating but I found a fix, although temporary until Google updates the play store.
WARNING: This requires root. Also I am not responsible for any damage that happens to your phone, proceed at your own risk as always.
Without further ado, this is what this fix is about:
Go to apps, press the three dot menu on the top right, show system apps, and find Google Play Store.
Once in Google Play Store, press remove updates, or disable and enable the app again, both ways work.
If you see in the notification bar that Google Play Store is updating, CANCEL IT.
Now, this is where is gets interesting.
Normally the Google Play Store will update itself, but we want to stop that until a later date where a fix is pushed out.
Download the app called MyAndroidTools.
Open the app and select the service menu, press system.
Scroll down to Google Play Store.
Find a switch named SelfUpadteChecker and turn it off.
Voila, your play store will now be working properly.
REMINDER: This is not a permanent solution, remember to check again if the play store is fixed at a later date to enable the switch again and update to the latest version.
Have a nice day all.
EDIT 3/4/17 : I found out that these switches may further help stop Google Play store from updating.
Again use at your own risk.
AsldListener
MaintainanceWindowJobService
RescheduleUsingAlarmManager$CheckWifiAndAutoUpdate
RescheduleIUsingBroadcast$AutoUpdateRecheckFrorBroadcast
RescheduleUsingJobScheduler$CheckPreconditionsAndAutoUpdateJobService
SeflUpdateCheckerScheduler$SelfUpdateCheckerTaskService
EDIT 5/4/17, second way.:
I still recommend the first way because it seems the issue is still not resolved, but this may appeal to users who want something less intrusive or don't have root.
I found out that the issue is not yet resolved with the latest google play version, but I was able to make play store work again with the following :
Cleared data of Download Manager with Titanium Backup.
Clered data of Google play services with Titanium Backup.
Rebooted.
I have no idea if this will last, but I was able to download apps after this, without touching the latest verion of Google Play Store.
If you wanna be extra safe uninstall updates from play store as well, but this worked for me without doing so.
Update: 7/4/17:
Zte announced a new software update, namely B02, which should fix this issue without any user actions required.
Thanks @Choose an username... for reminding me.
Hope it works.
Thanks!
What I did was to download an earlier version of the Play Store, install and before running it for the first time, I disabled the SelfUpadteChecker.
But for some reason, the Play store still tried to download the update, it just crashed after the download. The funny thing is, during the 5 seconds between starting Play Store and the crash, I was able to download an app update.
Which version of Play Store should I use?
Just to clarify, I use the Chinese firmware, so I cannot remove updates, it is not a system app. I can only uninstall it completely.
.
Thanks man. It is working on me right now.
Glad it does.
If it helped hit that thanks button.
I'll update it soon with some further findings as well.

Were you able to unbrick your Axon 7? I read it was in DFU mode wasn't it ?

unbrick one is my friend's. it is cn version, mine is good.
It doesn't require a root. Just cancel updating after you uninstall updates and you are good for some time at least.
On mine, it seems to use the Download Manager app for ALL downloads, including the Play store. If you go to the settings in Download Manager, you'll see a "Download files only via Wi-Fi. Untick that box and Play Store starts working properly again.
I can only assume that the crappy Download Manager is intercepting and controlling all download requests.

I doubt it, it can't work on a supposedly uncertified device and all of a sudden stop working.
Or the device showing up as certified and all of a sudden becomes uncertified.
I personally think a play store update is broken most likely, because it has been reported from rooted and stock users, plus on other devices rather than the Axon 7 as well.
Guide updated.
@nfsmw_gr You should prolly write down somewhere in the OP (preferrably big, and where it says that it is not a permanent solution) that ZTE announced an upcoming B02 with fixes including this one.
It shouldn't be too far away since it has already rolled out to Chinese versions.
thanks for the fix though

Android Pay not working on chinese version Mate 10?

Just want to ask you guys that have Chinese version of mate 10, is android pay working for you?
Every time I try to add a payment card in the android pay app, 3 seconds after the camera opens the app will switch back to it's previous screen. I also can not make payment on play store. I can download free apps but I cant purchase app even though I have a bank card stored on my google account. Anyone have the same problem?
I've got the Mate 10 Pro which was shipped from Carphonewarehouse here in the UK and I'm having the same problem with Android pay. I've tried reinstalling but still persists.
Same problem with the ALP-29 (European) model. Is it something with the way Launch handles apps perhaps?
wow, I didn't expect European version have the same problem. I thought it's the Chinese firmware's problem.
This is a pretty serious bug imo, Huawei should fix it asap.
Android pay works on my AL00 rebranded to L29 C636 but tried to use it twice and my card got declined. I have no issues with the card. Strange .
Update. I think it was because I had app lock set to Android Pay. I disabled it and all payments work fine.

I've got a really weird issue with the original L29 and Android Pay. The card is accepted and it works but the icon for Android Pay simply disappears and it shows in Google Play as disabled. Enabling it returns it but shortly it disappears again. And it never survives reboot.
Hey guys, plz try to go to Google Play and add ur credit card into it, then go back to the Android Pay and try adding a card again.
If this helps, plz let me know. Good luck.

I find the fix for camera jumping back issue, go to phone manager-launch-android pay. Turn it to manual and turn on all sub options under manual.
However I still can not pass the card verification process on this phone, android pay says it is card issuer problem. But I tried all of my bank/ credit cards , none of them can pass the verification. And the same cards can be used on my old P9 PLUS and on my friend's MATE 9. So there is definately something wrong with the mate 10, very strange problem.
Hello all, i had this problem too but resolved it by following the instructions here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/huawei-mate-10-android-pay-t3714857.
Try clearing all data in your Google Play Services (under Settings->Apps). Let Play Services reload the data and try adding a new card again using Android Pay. If that doesn't work, then uninstall updates from Google Play Services, the reboot your phone. Wait for play store to update your Google Play Services to the latest version (it can take a while) then adding new cards to Android Pay shouldn't be a problem. Hope this works for all!
Google Play Services Issue
It has already been stated but please clear all data from Google Play Services. I had the same problem with Android pay. Cleared all data and I'm good to go. Mate 10 fully rocks right now!
After tried everything you guys suggested, I still can not get this working. Cards still cant pass the verification process. Whats your play store version and play service version? I installed one from APKMIRROR, (940-175121617), which is suppose to be the one for android 8, but everytime i restart phone it will be replaced with (448-177350961)

I personally think the Chinese rom is the best rom for our Mate's, but unfortunately, I think that because Google is blocked is China, Android Pay may NEVER work for us (for me I'm in the US using the Chinese rom). I tried for 5 days straight and couldn't get it working correctly. I hope you have better luck than I did
If all fails maybe can rebrand the rom to your region?

Push notifications broken for some apps

Back when I was still using the Nexus 6P and it got the oreo update, I've noticed the notifications were broken for a lot of apps. After some research I've found out that restoring app backups via TB breaks notifications. However, there were still issues with some apps, and also the app update notifications from the play store were not working.
Before rooting my LG V30 everything was working fine, but now it's the same thing as before. Play store doesn't give update notifications, and also notifications for some crucial apps like XDA, Steam and Yahoo Mail aren't working. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I suspect it's titanium backup again (even though I didn't use it to restore any apps).
I'm currently on boombox rom, and aforementioned apps are set as an exclusion in the power saver.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I have/had (currently trying out a Note8) a US998 V30, and on the original stock Nougat software, I NEVER got Play Store updates, and I occasionally wouldn't get updates for other apps. I did restore using TiB, and sometimes I found that clearing the app data and signing in again (if necessary) would help. Disable/enable notifications in the app, etc would work sometimes too.
Regarding the play store updates... it was the weirdest thing. It would say "all your apps are up to date" but show 60+ app updates below it. I cleared play store data, play services data, signed out/in again, etc... and it wasn't until I installed the Oreo update that it was fixed. That, coupled with very poor battery life made me start looking for greener pastures, which is why I'm currently using a Note8. Unfortunately, between the time of ordering a Note8 and receiving it... I put on the Oreo update, which fixed all of my gripes on the V30, so I've got 2 phones that work well, and I'm still unsure of which I want to keep. I know... #firstworldproblems

Well my play store doesn't say no updates when I open it, there's just no notification when there's an update. It has nothing to do with LG V30, like I said the same thing happened with the Nexus 6P.
Definitely don't get push notification now that I'm rooted. It's not all apps and some I will get then notification if I open the app.
It's a really annoying problem which hope can be solved.
Notification worked fine for me on Oreo before rooting.
Phone is a H933, flashed to 998 and rooted. I do have xposed installed also.

It's really a weird thing, and what's even more weird is that not everyone is experiencing it.
I just opened the playstore and going in my apps list said there's 17 app updates, while I never got a notification for them.

You're confusing Play Store updates with app push updates.
It's not just rooted phones. So don't think that.
One of my V30+ is still not rooted and neither is my wife's genuine open market LG US998 V30, and neither of those get "notifications" of Play Store updates for my apps.
I've noticed if I reboot the phones and put them on a charger, THEN the phones will update. Or I can manually say update.
But I get push updates for emails, app notifications.

I don't get a notification for the updates of the apps installed through play store, and also don't get push notifications from certain apps, if that makes it more clear.
However, it worked perfectly before I unlocked and rooted.
So the issue with notifications occured after rooting, or it has to do with specific firmware version, or magisk/titanium backup/something else is causing it, who knows.

That seems to be problem with Play Store updates, and I have that problem on two non-rooted V30/V30+ phones in my house. So it's an Oreo issue or an US998 issue, but not a "root" issue.

Well I didn't restore any apps with titanium backup. I did however restore my apps with LG's backup and restore (which worked shockingly well)
I was on Oreo H933. Everything worked fine, play store update notifications (which I'm less concerned about) and all app notifications.
Also it's not all apps that have the problem. Gmail notifications work fine. Pushbullet does not, nor does kijiji. Pushbullet's notifications will show up when you open the app. Kijiji will never show notification.
It almost seems like the notification settings in the system are set to ignore them. Or that the apps are in sort of a deep sleep, in the case of pushbullet.
Flashed to US998 and rooted. Restored apps. Now of course I have root/magisk and xposed installed so it has to be one of those things. When I get a chance I might try and disable xposed and root/magisk.
It could also be the cross flash of US988 on a H933 but that's harder to test.
I didn't see it mentioned but is it possible to go back to H933 after rooting?
EDIT: OK, so I disabled adaway and minminguard, uninstalled and then reinstalled pushbullet and notifications are now working for pushbullet. I get the feeling its to do with restoring apps but I'll keep playing.
Worked on kijiji.
Uninstalled and reinstalled kijiji (didn't change anything else. adaway and minminguard are installed still) and notifications work now.
These apps where restored from an LG backup of my H933 on Oreo on my rooted now US998.

Honor 10 & Google Pay

Hello folks,
Did anyone besides me try to get Google Pay (and its "payment in stores"-feature - NFC Payment) to work?
The bank/card I'm using supports Google Pay but as soon as I'm finishing the adding procedure of the card, there's a notification saying I won't be able to pay with it in stores.
Now after I've talked to my bank's support and Google Pay support (who give cryptic answers though) it seems like the Google Pay App just doesn't want to work with the Honor 10.
Which is why I would like to know if there is someone who got GPay to work in their Honor 10.
Thanks in advance for suggestions or sharing experiences!

Check for playstore certification .
If its uncertified its the issue.
On my Honor 10 it works perfectly even with Magisk installed.
In some reviews I heard that in the Chinese version (6gb ram) Gpay did not work.
If you have chinese version - you have answer.

There should be a default "wallet" app that comes with the phone, when opening it it shows up as "google wallet". However i did notice that when trying to search for it on the play store it doesnt come up.....maybe your right and it was substituted, but i know the "wallet" app came with the phone.
If you havent uninstalled it, then launch that and give it a try, if you have already uninstalled it then i'm not sure what options we have available.

Hey, thanks again.
The only Wallet app that was on my Phone is the Huawei Wallet – which doesn't work for me (in Germany as it seems). I can't add anything there, it'll give me an error instead.
Also, could you maybe describe what exactly didn't work for you before and what does work now?
And do you have the COL-AL10 as well? (mine is the 64gb / 6gb China version – there is no 6gb global version, is there?)
I was now able to add the card to Google Pay successfully so it even shows the card in the Payment ("Zahlung") Tab in the App.
But I still can't get the contactless payment to work. It always says it "Wasn't possible to configure the card for contactless payment in stores".

Mine is the COL-TL10. (6gb 128gb version)
The way the issue would occur for me is, i would go click on google pay, and it would just keep trying to load.....forever, one time i managed to get in then as soon as i tried to add a card it crashed again.
But as mentioned this was all fixed after opening that wallet app (i assume the first launch of it installed something in the background that prevented the crash), how google pay loads up and works perfectly.
It seems we have different phone versions, perhaps that could be why there is the difference with the wallets.
Sorry i couldn't have been of more help

youtube kids keeps getting removed

I have the stock android v8.0 installed and because yt kids is not available in my country I install it manually through an apk. But after being installed for a few minutes the app is removed
I tried turing off play protect and searching the options but I can't find what's removing the app.
Is there a way to stop this from happening in the stock software?

Is it a legit app? If you have some sort of antivirus/security it may get removed if it contains anything untoward.

Yes it's a legitimate app (youtube kids) by Google but its not available in my country. I have installed it on my other devices without a problem.

By legit app I mean from a reputable source. Many apps get modified if they're not from official sources.

I've downloaded it from apkmirror which from what I know should be safe and unmodified. Please tell me If you have a better source.

I would say apk mirror would be fine, however you can download direct from Google play:

I tried it, it gave me a very old version. I installed it and the same thing happened.
I took a look at apkmirror. It looks like they have a number of variants depending on the CPU. Which version are you trying to install? This is the CPU based off the specs I found online https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/820 but I don't know how to translate that into which variant you need.

It looks like it has to do with android 8, I tried it on a galaxy j7 prime 2 running oreo and a huawei p20 pro also running oreo, after locking the device for a few minutes it gets removed.
I created a new account using a vpn and set my location to the usa, I was able to install the app, but when i stopped the vpn the app was removed after a few minutes. when I go to the play store I find that the app is disabled and I can re-enable it from there, but it will automatically get disabled again after a while.
I'm going to try to downgrade the tablet to android 7 and try this again.
It seems that its happening to other people too
