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.

Indeed, I have C432.
i come to you with amazing news, i had the exact same problem! (i have the 6gb global version)
My work around is, i clicked on the "wallet" app first, also known as "google wallet", i started and set that up first.
Then i opened up google pay, and bam, worked straight away!

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
I am having this issue as well on my honor 10 from China
reset to factory your phone, and install these gapps, one by one. SKIP GMS-ONLY INSTALL GMS IF YOU ENCOUNTER GMS ERROR.

Okay, thank you.
Have you personally had this issue and fixed it this way?
No, but i have this package installed and i have no problem with payment and google play is certified.
Do you have COL-AL10(C00)?

Phone tells that I have a newer version of Google Services Framework. I didn't find this app. So now there are 2 apps that I couldn't install - gms and Google Services Framework. What should I do?
Install the rest of them, and all should be good. Did you reset?

I bought Sharp Aquos S2 from TWN, evething works fine with original play store except Sharp widget does not work (System UI no permission). Don't know how to set permission system UI?
PS: reset several times but does not work.
Please help.
Thank you
Kinda off-topic but how did You get google play store to work on Aquos S2?
I can't install it at all. Did You have it preinstalled on your phone?
I bought from Taiwan, it has google play store original but the problem is the phone widget is N/A.

Lucky You with play store preinstalled. I'd suggest you to simple get rid off original widget and install any other widget from google play store. The original one is not working for me either (N/A). I'm gonna keep fighting with mine. Does anyone know how to enter recovery mode on S2? I was able to boot in safe mode (power + volume down) but idk what's the combination for recovery. Maybe under recovery mode I'll be able to install all those google services. I was also unable to root this device.
If anyone got some info how to install google services on this I'd appreciate it!
Cheers,

You must install Google Play Services in order to have Google Play Store and other Google apps. Both apps can be found here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/.

This is exacly what I did. I've checked dpi, android version, cpu architecture. I've installed services, framework, account, play store in order. Still no luck. I've also installed google installer which is downloading all neccesary services automaticaly and... same story. Everything installs without any problem but it freezes when I want to open any google app.
Have You installed gaaps on Sharp S2 without those apps being preinstalled?
Actually, I haven't. I had Gapps preinstalled this time. But I had some Chinese phones before and not all of them came with Gapps. I never had problem with installing them.
S2 has plenty options to set rights and restrictions per app. They are in 3 sectors - under SIM settings (about use of networks), apps settings and S boost. I couldn't get internet radio working before I assign necessary rights to it. Have you checked that you gave all gapps needed rights?
Hm.. Maybe I've found the problem. Under SIM and S-boost everything looks good. In apps settings I'm unable to give "get location" for Google Services. I can see it needs "access precise location" to work. Can You tell me whether You have "get location" set for google services on your phone?
I gave GPS all possible permissions. Always.
Well, I can't. The phone is crashing when I want to swipe "location: ON" in google services. It freezes, going black-screen and then going back to settings. It's exacly the same when I want to allow Google Services Framework to read/write instant messages (as far as I can see online those two are by default OFF anyway). All the other permissions for all google apps are ON. Also, most of the other apps with location needed are crashing when I have gaaps installed. Idk why I cant give it all permissions, didn't find any similar problem online.

Then, it seems that the problem is serious. When I bought the phone I noticed that the system has flaws, so first thing I did was factory reset. Even after that I still have two errors, fingerprint scanner is slow and sometimes after unlocking the screen just turns blank and after using power button it turns out that phone is unlocked already. And after every resetting the phone Android Pay simply disappeared and has to be enabled in Google Play again. I've gotten one OTA already and nothing regarding both issues has been changed.
I guess you have 3 options: factory reset and set all bunch of Gapps again, returning the phone or waiting for next OTA. It is obvious that the problem is on the sw side and it is in proprietary Smile UI system precisely.
Hopefully they gonna sort it out soon.
Yeah, exacly. I've already done factory reset multiple times. I'm installing proper version of google service and I can't give it location permisions. I'm almost sure I'm doing everything right.
Gonna wait for OTA, I'll use it without play store atm.
I have no problems at all with fingerprint sensor and unlocking. I think we might have slightly different softwares. Can You tell me whats your ROM version? Mine is 00CN_1_27L with android patched September 1, 2017. Kernel Version 4.4.21

Mine is 00WW_1_27L and that is the difference. WW stays for worldwide and CN for china (kernels are the same). And WW has Gapps installed. But it has other issues caused by incorrect android system modification (smile UI).
Result of that erroneous system is obviously in Gapps failure. My previous phone was Chinese (there was ww version as well), without Gapps, but system was good and I had no troubles installing Gapps.
I understand - thanks for information. I guess I'll have to wait for root manual and flash rom to WW in future.
You don't need root, just OTA or factory image. If I were you, I'd ask both the seller and Sharp for it Describing troubles and they might hear you.
Sharp didn't even reply. Seller said that I bough device with CN rom and it is as it is. They are both kinda right. How can I OTA with region change? I dont think I can use factory image as my image is CN atm. WW images are not available online.
It's the same kernel, exactly the same hw, there is no difference, only the system. You can flash either ww ota or factory image. Another problem is to get any if supplier doesn't cooperate.
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?
Note that I only have one Google account on the device
I bought a brand new sealed Samsung Galaxy Tab S3. I setup the device for the first time and went straight to updating to Marshmallow which then allowed me to finally update to Oreo. So then I tried to install an app that I already paid for. But it said I didn't pay for it (says $3.99 instead of INSTALL). So I thought that maybe it's from a fishy developer who makes their apps temporary free (P.AG.F.) and pulled the rug from under me. But then I noticed all of my paid apps are UNPAID. So then I decided to go for a legit developer who I was confident is a good developer (Nova Launcher Prime), and even on the Play Store page it said I have to pay money for it even though I already purchased it on my Google account. Even when I click on "Purchased Apps" the apps show as purchased, but as soon as I go to the app's page, it show as unpaid.
So I decided to maybe factory reset the device. Nope. The problem persisted. I checked for an OS update past Android 8.0.0. There was no update. So then I decided to lookup an APK mirror for Google Play Services (using Play Services Info), and I downloaded the correct app for my device (architecture and dpi). I installed the latest Play Services. But in Play Services info it shows that my newly installed App is still the old version from 2016. On Play Services Info it says I need to install the 2018 version (obviously I tried to). It didn't do anything. Still did not work
I am wondering if I got a botched update of Oreo. What do I do? I am out ideas at this point. Man what the heck???
EDIT: Play Services version 12.6.88 (also the updated OS install this version)

I'm sure it's not the device. Check to make sure you have the latest version of play store. You can do that using the three bar menu in play store and going to settings.

Also, make sure you are not in your "Secure Folder" when running play store. It will not access your account properly and will force you to pay for everything again.
Can you access Play store from a computer? Do you still see the apps you paid for?
Otherwise, I'd contact Google Support and see what is wrong with your account.

Oh man what the heck. What do I do? My device won't let me downgrade. Oh man. I am screwed. Edit: Yes everything is fine on all of my devices. Including Android emulators. I turned on the "use secure folder" during factory setup. But when I click on Secure Folder it tells me I need to sign in to my Samsung account in order to use it. So I am not even sure if Secure Folder is the issue. Cause it wont even let me into the app unless I sign up. Play Services is 12.6.8 no downgrade allowed. Play Store is 10.2.06 ???

You're not screwed. How did you get Oreo on your device? There isn't a US version so I'm assuming you used Odin. If so did you use the UK version. You're right, you won't be able to down grade to nugat but I'm on Oreo, in the US, and it's working fine.

Nope. I read news today that Samsung Tab S3 in the US are rolling out Oreo updates. I got excited and I was like oh what a coincidence because that day was the same day I decided to open up my brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 from the sealed retail packaging. So like I really didn't do much. No tweaks. No strange configuration or app installations. I literally went through Android settings and installed the updates through the official "search for update" method. Note that the update service found the Marshmallow update and forced me to install it before I would be able to find the Oreo update.
No Odin. No flashing. No rooting. No Adb. Nothing nada. EDIT: It's possible I bought a NON-US version of Tab S3, but I don't see how that is relevant because that version of Tab S3 should have Play Store bugs ironed out by now.

The US version of Oreo isn't available for Odin flash yet, otherwise I'd give it a try and see if it's an issue with the firmware. But I don't think even Samsung would have messed up play store. If it was just released it may be available later today.

I feel like if I flashed an Oreo ROM then the problem would disappear. Is there no one else from the US beside me who has updated through the official outlet?
On my Oreo Play Services is v12.6.85 and Play store is v10.2.06-all and I see my paid for apps without issues.

Man. Wtf why does this always happen to me with Google? Like in YouTube, my old playlists show up on my PC Chrome Browser. But they don't even exist in the YouTube app (only the new playlists appear). And on YouTube, there is exactly ONE youtuber that I can't toggle notification for, and that is Marquez Brownlee. But if I made another YouTube account I can toggle on the notification (the ringing bell symbol) for this YouTuber just fine.
NOBODY has these issue except me. Why?
I HAVE INCLUDED SCREENSHOTS AND PICTURES. SOMEBODY HELP ME

You're not screwed. How did you get Oreo on your device? There isn't a US version so I'm assuming you used Odin. If so did you use the UK version. You're right, you won't be able to down grade to nugat but I'm on Oreo, in the US, and it's working fine.

Oh I meant that I can't downgrade Play Services, as in I can't install an older version of Play Services.
Another Picture shows the Play Store works fine on other devices. Also here is video of Marquez Brownlee notification problem if you don't believe me. Problem has existed for years already and still hasn't been fixed.
Edit: Second video is portrait because I'm taking it with the Tab S3 with a heavy armored Gumdrop case and can't hold it in landscape (small hand and body) while using the mouse. Don't have tripod either and I was trying to obscure private information.
It isn't that we don't believe you. We do. But there is something wrong with your Google account. If it was me I would factory reset the device and go through the re-install of the Google Account. Somehow Android is not getting updated with your Google Account info so either it is a connectivity issue with Google or something with the install process.

Also, make sure you are not in your "Secure Folder" when running play store. It will not access your account properly and will force you to pay for everything again.
Can you access Play store from a computer? Do you still see the apps you paid for?
Otherwise, I'd contact Google Support and see what is wrong with your account.

SOLVED.
You have to turn off that option during initial "factory" setup. I couldn't turn it off because I didn't have or don't remember my Samsung Account. You need the Samsung Account in order to go past the login screen for "Secure Folder". As far as I know, there is no way to turn off secure folder after it is turned on without a Samsung Account. Deactivating/disabling the Secure Folder app also did not work. I fixed it by factory resetting the device and making sure that the initial toggle for Secure Folder is set to "OFF" (I think the reset is a necessary prerequisite). It looks like the issue is poor software design. Being required to have an account to turn if off, while being able to turn it on without the account is just a terrible choice in design. User aspexil, you have been thanked.

Glad you got it solved. That might be something new with Oreo. I didn't have that problem when I first got my tab. Ever since it's been rooted and I've never had a Samsung account. Or maybe I turned it off when initially setting up the tab.

UNSOLVED.
Actually it's unsolved again. I typed down Nova Launcher in the search box to check if I have it "paid". And it showed up as paid. But now I realized that I was looking for Nova Launcher Prime. Damn it. I guess I need to flash my Tab S3 to a reliable ROM then?

When you factory reset did it reset to Android v7.1? Maybe just stop there and see if you can get the tablet to work before applying Android v8.0? I haven't used anything but stock so don't know what ROM to use.

Nope. When I factory reset. It reset to Android Oreo 8.0.0. Play Services installed was 12.6.85 (instead of 12.6.88, I think I actually installed 12.6.88 manually via sideloading). The play store version is the same 10.2.06.
So I am wondering which ROM provided online is legitimately unchanged and STOCK so I can just flash via Odin. Then install the Oreo update via WiFi (I am assuming I received a corrupted update that won't happen again).
Also, one guy told me from another thread that he had the same issue and said he just waited a few days and let Play Services "sync" and it just fixed itself automatically. Although, I don't know if he really does have the same problem.

I'm pretty sure you will not be able to install nougut firmware after installing Oreo. The bootloader for Oreo is new and Samsung usually trips an e-fuse when updating the bootloader. But you can give it a try and then letting the device update. I get firmware from updato. But be advised that Oreo for the us isn't available yet (nougut is there). The UK version works fine, though. That's what I'm on.
PS, you'll have to enable developer options and then oem unlock to use Odin.

I am using a s9+ bought from China with the stock firmware in Australia.
I have got google play store installed and have no problem to use all the feature except the google pay.
The issue is that I cannot activate any card in google pay even though they are all google pay supported card. I can add the card but it stucked the last step: verifying your card with the bank .
There is no issue with the saftynet check and the phone is not rooted.
It seemed that a lot of people reported the similar issue on xiaomi and huawei phone with China rom. Not sure what really caused this?
Anyone has the idea?
Thank you.

My first recommendation is use Samsung Pay instead. It's the most widely accepted and easiest NFC payment option. If you prefer Google Pay I suggest backing up your data with Samsung Smart Switch, do a Factory Reset. This will allow you to get the most recently updated Google Account. After completing setup, make sure your device has the latest software update. Download and reinstall Google Pay and try settting up the account.
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.
I've tried disabling play protect and the built-in antivirus is disabled.

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
