Google Play Books won`t open - Honor 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

I can not open the google play books. There is no response after I tapped onto the icon. I tried to clean data, uninstall and reinstall but nothing worked?
Can you try to open on your devices? is that working?
Thank you

Are you rooted with TWRP?

I've just downloaded it and it's working for me. Did it ever work for you?

Try to download the app's apk (maybe a different version than the latest). I don't know what to expect but if this were my case I would try it.
Other Googla Apps working fine?

This could be really annoying specially at a new phone.
I know this is very uncomfortable (specially if you have done all the settings etc.) but the next steps would be factory reset or flashing the stock Honor 8 rom...

I solved the issue now.
I removed my google account and signed in again. but for the first time I had unmarked the auto sync option(Cause I hate auto-sync It was draining the battery on my nexus badly). Anyway This time I chose auto sync when it prompt before sign in to google account and It worked.
Thanks for the responses again

[Q] Googleears on Nexus 4?

All,
The Nexus 4 does not have Google ears installed however in /system/app, googleears.apk is shown, but will not install.
Is there a solution to installing this app? I've pulled it and tried to install via adb but it fails..
Dan
Its a widget.

Yes i'm aware of that.. I'm saying that it isn't installed, and will not install... I'm asking why.
it is installed.. it's a widget. attempting to install a system app from a file explorer in your system folder will fail as it is already installed.

It is not installed.. If it was, then installing via adb would tell me it's installed.

Perhaps it's frozen and not available in your location. If you're rooted you can unfreeze it using Package Enabler in play store

It would be this.
It's frozen for UK phones. Unfreeze with Titanium Backup then feel free to add the widget
Strange that they don't enable this widget now that Google Music is available in the UK. I don't fancy wiping my phone just to root so I can unfreeze this. For now I'm using the free Sony TrackID app which has always worked well on previous phones.
Don't have my n4 yet but is it avail in the UK. I know I could get it to work but it was not stock on the gnex gsm.
Looks like I took too long writing my comment its already been answered lol
Just the same as the gnex then oh well unfreeze it.

I too am in the same position as OP. It's in /system/app but doesn't come up as a widget option and isn't considered installed according to android.
What's weird is that it worked on my Galaxy Nexus months ago without any modifications.
Code:
su
pm enable com.google.android.ears
It's good to use 'til next reboot.

cant defros
Hi!
i have a problem. i cant defrost google ears on my nexus 4 with titanium backup pro. google ears is crossed out!? its not possible to push the frost/defrost/uninstall button. Phone is rooted. i live in austria and bought the n4 in germany (maybe its important)
i made 2 screenshots.
Thanks for help!
Use the command I posted early from a terminal instead.
It's weird, I am in Australia, I have a Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 and I don't have the widget on either. I got the Nexus 7 on second shipment from JB HiFi and than I suggested it to a friend, who got it 3 months after, from Officeworks and he has the app
PS he doesn't even know what rooting is.

Tried putting this in an init.d script but it was still frozen. Must be a race condition, i.e. init.d script running before some other process freezes it
I've found a work around.
After doing the enable command, you will be able to update Ears from the Play Store and then it will persist.
You won't be able to search for it, so use this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ears

Nope. I enabled it and Google Play tells me the app isn't available in my country with no options to update it.

Something more important
The GREENFY serves me
So I converting application using Titanium
Then put into hibernation ...
Probably the operation of converting the application from the user causes the problem.
ANOTHER... WHAT IS MEAN IN TITANIUM integrate update into rom???
Hi guys,
thanks for the hint with Samsung hub.
I am on rooted 4.3 and had exactly the same issue - rotation didn't work any more. It only worked directly after reboot for round about one minute. After that only till next reboot for another minute.
I tried a lot of stuff - but no factory reset or re-flashing another rom, because I was too lazy
So I went into settings and deinstalled the last Samsung hub update. After that it was fine again.
I am not sure how I should trust Samsungs Operating system Tizen when they do so sh... work on their Software.
Greetings,
Elmar.

Mate 8 Chinese version (AL10) 2 questions

Hello. I just got my m8 today. I did UL bootloader and rooted the chinese version 156 which came with OTA. The only problem I get is that i cannot sync google contacts. Everything else is working great. Is there any way or do I need to flash the international firmware?
PS If I need to update to a newer version (I saw 165 came out but i didn't get it today) is there a way to flash a newer rom without losing all data through TWRP?
PS2 One other problem i encountered: I tried to install sygic navigator from play store but it forcecloses the entire google play!!! This happens only at this app...
u wont get any ota updates on a modified system @unlocked bootloader & root, so ull have to flash manually every time or revert back to full stock.
concerning google apps and services, ull need to manually add those to the chinese rom (check the B156 rooted thread, the necessary apk files are attached to the OP)
as for flashing updates, it is indeed possible to "dirty flash" a rom over an existent one, but be prepared for potential hiccups / issues / functional resets in that case. best thing is to always to a proper clean flash with your data backed up on a different location (i.e. laptop).
the play store FC is probably due to the app size. check permissions of google play store app and activate permission for storage, that should solve the FC...

Thanx for your reply. I see... As far as the google contacts sync is concerned, I tried creating a GoogleContactsSyncAdapter folder in the system/app folder and copying the apk in there but after the reboot still no sync... Am I doing something wrong? (I did a workaround here as well, i restored the contacts from a csv file but now i don't get cloud backup)
When flashing future updates do we use the TWRP in order to flash the stock roms? I haven't tried that's why I ask. I usually do a full wipe when I flash updates. About the play store i gave it full access, but before that i did a workaround and backed up the prog from another device and restored it to mate8... I will probably see on the next update of the app.

I got it to work... I am not sure what was the reason... I uninstalled it completely and then installed the latest app I saw online and gave permissions and rebooted and the apps are there Thank you all.
The problems fixed. Can someone please answer to the first q about how to flash latest versions since I am rooted-twrp? Are the versions I find in the android development flashable by TWRP? I mean the untouched versions not the custom roms. I am happy with the performance of the stock rom.
some are flashable via twrp, others through the stock huawei erecovery, others again are flashable via fastboot. gotta check the package contents and file types...

Guys how often does contacts sync takes place? I put a contact yesterday at about 18:00 and it doesn't show up at the gmail contacts. Probably due to the fact that if I go to google account it says it synced last yesterday at about 17:15. I know that I can force sync it but I don't want to have to do that every time I add a contact.
I also have the AL10 and I didn't unlock and rooted my phone and didn't receive the B165 rom yet either. My latest rom is still B156.

There is a thread in the forum with the exact procedure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-root-install-t3301371
Hello everybody.
I recently purchased a Chinese Mate 8.
While the Play Store and Google Services were up and running when I received it, contacts where not syncing.
I download GoogleContactsAppSync and solved that BUT I can't sort them by surname, how am I supposed to do that?
Please help, I can't get my head around that!
Thank you
Same here with Sygic. My phone is a chinese one, model NXT-AL10, no root, bootloader locked.
When Sygic is loaded, playstore is force-closed. Sygic can be loaded via Amazon appstore but the "restore"-function does not work.
Moreover, OsmAnd+ navigation does not work properly. It can be opened but no map is shown.
Anyone uses Sygic and OsmAnd+ with Huawei Mate 8 chinese successfully? Should we contact Huawei?

Not sure Sir, after it didn't work I went back to my backed up CF Rom.

It's enabled on the server side.
So has anyone else got it to work?
Has everyone set up google assistant voice recognition?
Open up the google app and say "OK GOOGLE"
It should open up setup for google assistant voice recognition.
I use apex launcher and holding home opens apex settings for me.
However saying OK google on any screen now opens google assistant for me.
I'm Running AOKP with the newest version of the google app and google play services
Some more info about my phone, if it helps anyone:
Before I installed the packages, I had just about everything enabled that could be enabled for Google Now. On tap: on, feed: on, OK Google everywhere: on. The first time I started it was by holding down the home button, not by saying OK Google (but that works too).
Well after flashing stock Rom yesterday and installing both apk's to no avail.
Switched back to CF's 1.7 mm Rom got off play services beta and Google's beta then called it a night.
Woke up this morning and had gotten the official update while I was asleep ?.
Got it working on my stock turbo. Although I didn't download anything. Just woke up this morning and it was on my phone.

Ah okay. So looks like it's a moot point now.
I got it working by uninstalling updates to Google app and Google play services, and updating the Google app through the play store.
The next time i held the home button i got the assistant

Is the new "Messages for web" feature showing up for you guys?

I just received the new update for the Messages app. But the Drop down list doesn't seem to contain the "Messages for web" option on it.
Both my Nokia 6 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge are running this exact same new version on em'. But they do have this option. What's happening? Am I the only one who is having this issue?

Are you running a custom ROM? The people who have replied to say they have it have all said they have stock, don't know yours.
According to this it is being released by handset which would explain why a custom ROM can't get it yet and would also make sense why an AndroidOne Rom would be first.
https://www.androidcentral.com/youre-not-only-one-who-doesnt-have-android-messages-web-client-yet
Also check your Play Store and see if you are certified, this could also be a reason Google have decided not to push it to you yet, actually that would make sense for the rollout.

See me edit above, next thing is to see if you are certified in Play Store, for some reason Google are not pushing it to your phone yet and I can only think it's not certified (check play store(hamburger>settings>last entry)) or not passing safetynet (an app can check this).

You are right. Play store says the device is certified. But safety net check fails. I don't even have magisk. How can I fix this?

Is your bootloader still unlocked, this will trigger safetynet but don't just lock it or your data will be wiped!
safetynet being tripped will stop you getting a lot of apps unfortunately.
