Instant apps not working on Stock A2017V2.0.0B13 - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

I'm currently on Android 7.1.1(MiFavor 5.0) A2017V2.0.0B13. I have turned on instant apps in Settings/Google/Instant Apps. I have added a screenshot with a list of apps that support instant apps feature but when I go to the Play Store, "TRY NOW" button isn't there.(which is for instant apps feature) . I have checked other phones and "TRY NOW" button was theere for these apps that support instant apps. But on Axon 7 that button isn't there , what's wrong? Does it work for anyone on Chinese Axon 7?

Anybody using Instant Apps on Axon7?

It's not working for me either.

Just tried in France with an Axon G. Works fine.

For me it's working. I'm on b13. Didn't do nothing special. Maybe try to clear cache in the Google play app and in Google service app.

Thanks @yoavtabakman , I disabled Google Play Services and Play Store and cleared all data and then enabled them and let them be updated.
Now Instant Apps work and "Try Now" button is there. But when I hit the button it gives me an error(second screenshot) and doesn't open.
Does it give this error on your phone or it works perfectly?

Yes. Same error here to. Don't now the fix yet.

What about other apps like " Currency X "or " NYTimes - Crossword " ? Do they give you the same error ? (Because BuzzFeed app seems to have issues with other phones too)
For me all Instant Apps capable apps give me that error.

Yap... Same.

Sorta unrelated, but it works on AEX O
Y'know I just went and checked

Problem with Axon 7 (Chinese 4GB RAM, 128GB) Update B13

Hi all,
I have been using this phone for a couple of months. I installed the Google services and Play store using this MIUI 8 Google installer which has been floating around the internet. My Google Play Store is up to date.
I have been quite happy with the phone except for the following issues:
(i) When I install larger files over Google Play Store, it will crash when the download is finishing. It will pop an error message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped", and I am unable to get the downloads to work. The next few attempts at opening the Play Store will show the same message, but it will eventually open, but the download will fail.
(ii) Connectivity - 3G / 4G. My previous phones, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Samsung Note 4 had no such issues. They were able to connect to the network and not get dropped frequently. This affects me when I play games, and I will have lost connectivity time to time (even when in the open). I checked the network bands and my country's bands (Singapore) are compatible.
(iii) GPS - I had been playing Pokemon GO / Ingress. It does get very annoying when the messages "GPS not found" keeps popping up, especially when indoors. One soft fix is to turn Wifi on and off. I am not sure why this fix works, but I had already enabled wifi scanning even when wifi is not on.
Does anyone else here have these issues? If so, do you have any fix for them?
Thank you everyone in advance.
I suggest to you to download playstroe.apk from the internet instead of the installer of the miui..its not install the updated version of the play store..and dont forget to able playstore to run in the background in the assist manager and download google service.apk if you need more help or something talk to me
Thank you for your prompt response!
I can try reinstalling Play Store. I checked the version and it is exactly the same one as my Samsung Note 4 (which had been recently updated). There are also quite a few versions floating around and I am unsure of which one to install. As it stands, I think I will reinstall the exact same version and see how it goes. I had also installed Google Services.
But thank you for the reminder - I had already added the Play Store to my protected list for it to run in the background, but the problem still persists.
Been looking at APK mirror, and there are too many versions of Play Store.
May I check which one should be the version I should be installing?
Edit: I installed the latest versions of Play Store and Play Services from apkmirror, and the large downloads still failed.
I checked, and my Google Play store is updated by the ZTEMarket, so I assume the version is fine.
Has anyone else experienced such issues before?

Yep, I've gotten to 98% before on a 1gb file to have "Playstore has stopped" error... Very frustrating...
Ive finally manbded to install B013 - its loaded fine. Now I have a message saying "To start Android, enter your password".
I've never previously had to enter a password - I bought the phone from Ali Express.
How do you get past this ? Is there a generic password ? HELP PLEASE !!!
I installed my B13 update OTA and didn't experience the password issue, but I see that you already resolved that problem (in another thread).
I still can't get my phone to download larger files over Google Play Store and it's getting very annoying. Anything which requires WiFi to download seems to have this issue.
Anyone knows any solution to this?
EDIT: I found the solution.
Go to Apps > Google Play Store > Permissions. You will see that the Permissions for Storage is UNCHECKED. It looks like when Google Play Store is installed, it comes unchecked by default. Hopefully this will be helpful for anyone experiencing this issue.

Problems Google services, play store Axon 7 version B13
Before I had version B10 and the play store and other GOOGLE applications worked perfect, but after upgrading to version B13, the GOOGLE services that had possibly been installed by the store of aliexpress where I bought, since the google services did not originally come in the smartphones Manufactured in China, have disappeared, and even though I have reinstalled, they do not work, standing in the "checking data" field, it seems that this version is incompatible with google play services!
Anyone know how to fix this?
problem google play services
I still have not solved the problem, because when I open the play store, it keeps the message "checking data" and does not leave this message and the options of permissions are all marked "on"
Is there any specific version of google services for this model axon 7 version B13, or should any one work?
I had exactly the same as you. Purchased from Ali express. Update to build b013, if you get a password message just perform a factory reset. To install Google play store, go to the zte market (Chinese version of play store). Even though it's in Chinese it's easy to type in Google play into search then simply install. Sorted. After that works without any problems
Here you go
google play running

I entered the ZTE store and installed GOOGLE INSTALLER, which should be the installer of some tools needed to run Google services, because soon after installing it, the play store and other services like gmail, started to work, so I think it was Something that was missing to work and now is perfect!

This app shows that Google Service is ok but Google Framework is not installed. When I choose Repair, nothing happens. I downloaded and installed Google Services Framework 7.1.1 from apkmirror, but nothing has changed. Do you have Google Framework installed?

Does anyone have Google Assistant on a J3?

I've rooted my J320A, installed the beta versions of Google Play Services and the Google App, cleared all storage for each app and I'm still not seeing Google Assistant. Is anyone else having this problem?
mines not rooted, but i'm having the same problem
I have a stock SM-J327P with the beta Google App and Google Play services too and it's not on my phone yet either.

Also we could try posting to https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/websearch/RC1pw4QhcfE/GCZx2ZbMBgAJ with answers to Ron's and hopefully prompt a better response.
Maybe im confused, but isnt the screenshot google assistant?
Didnt do anything, just updated stock thru playstore.
Guess what I posted above isn't assistant, just Google on tap...I've tried a lot to get this working
The non rooted methods out there can get to assistant in a round about way (launching some settings menu), but after assistant is activated I still could not launch it.
Using current versions of Google app the only way I could access assistant is thru rooted terminal, using the following command
Code:
am start -n "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.OpaActivity"
But typing that is a half and I couldn't come up with a practical way of using (I plan to learn tasker tho, that might help)
Only decent way I can launch it is by using an old version, 6.11.21.21 works. And installing the xposed module assistant enabler (n-ify's experimental settings has this feature too)
You must also disable auto update in your play store.
Using old versions has it's drawbacks. For instance Pixel launcher doesn't get read your weather card, so no weather widget. Who knows what else.
[EDIT]
I was able to update and it still work, it didn't last tho... Needs more testing

Nah havent really messed with tasker yet.
Only really have time to play on the weekends, and worked on another project last weekend (that alt root thing). Now with the holliday im not sure what ill have time for...i did work out the highest version assistant enabler works for us tho (6.13.25.21 works)
Ill be sure to report any updates
Think this is the best i can do with tasker using the command above (and updated google app)
Install tasker and autovoice
In tasker click the profile tab and import the two attached profiles
In autovoice goto google now
Choose not enabled
Turn on both autovoice and tasker accessibility options
Back out then check enable and uncheck voice only
Now goto advanced and check always cancel
And thats it
Now when you say 'ok google' (or use voice search) voice search will popup and close and google assistant will launch...holding the home button will bring up on tap, auto close and launch assistant.
It will probably fail the first time, but itll work afterwards.
Also the first time you open the google app itll activate assistant, but again, itll work afterwards.
Enjoy
-D
Btw im still looking for another method, i dont like the delay
I had a little luck using Google Assistant Launcher, which seems to launch the same intent you suggested and may be easier than messing around with tasker.
Here's what I've done:
De-enroll from the Google App beta, uninstall the beta, and then install the latest (non-beta) Google app.
Then run the Google Assistant Launcher and click on the "My Stuff" tab, create a new reminder and train the voice model
Go to settings / apps / defaults and change the default assistant to Google Assistant Launcher
If the Assistant Launcher doesn't launch the Assistant, clear storage for the Google app and Google Play services and try again

Hmm for me this would always bring up the settings were you set the reminder
[Edit]
Google app must have changed. Now what you wrote will bring up plain old voice search here...what version are you on?

So, I have Tasker and AutoVoice. I am running your (@DamienMc) "pixel experience" ROM for J320A with root and Xposed. When I try to enable AutoVoice's accessibility setting, it tells me "Universal switch does not support the current system language. The text to speak language will be set to English (United States), but this might cause unexpected behavior." I click Turn On, and then it says unfortunately, settings has stopped. This happens every time I try to enable any accessibility setting for any app. So please consider this in an update to your ROM.

The Assistant Launcher is working for me. However, pressing and holding the home button does not work.
I have Google Assistant on my phone and I installed it without rooting my phone I found the following video that shows you how to install Google Assistant on any Android phone without having to root the phone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSP6gICNfLY
Just install Google Assistant Launcher apk(180kb) and update Google Application to latest version.
Press and Hold home button, and voila Google Assisten Launched
How about the Assistant Enabler Xposed module? DamienMc added it to the J320A ROM. It works great
I think that's work.
Try ^^
Maybe i was trying the wrong app when I tried. Only one I see is 149kb

Instant apps not working

I have instant apps enabled in my Google settings, but I am not able to try apps. Searching for the "wish" app does not have an instant option. Looking at the apps list that was posted by xda a couple days ago, all apps mentioned do not have the "try now" button in the play store. I only have the option to install.
I have tried restarting my device as well as disabling and enabling instant apps within the settings. I have a Nexus 6p with Android oreo on it. Is any one else able to get instant apps working?

Speedup, Performance tuning [No Root]

After few months my Honor 5x was very laggy, After did few tweaks, i found great improvement on performance.
Here i shared few tricks.
Please note i am on stock ROM without rooting.
1. [Important] Download & install "Google Go" app from playstore. (light version of "Google" app), uninstall/disable & force stop existing "Google app". I found great improvement on performance after doing this. (A restart required).
2. Install "Go" apps instead of regular ones. "Maps go", "files go", "youtube go", etc. note these are the latest light weight apps from google.
3. Disable & uninstall un necessary apps, i disabled few apps that i never used. ex: Google play books, google play games, google play movies, google play newstand, google+, Hangouts, Photos, Social Channels, etc.
4. Use any light weight apps
Holo launcher, (not hola launcher)
Youtube go instead of youtube,
Pixel Music player
Focus Go (Gallery)
5. Allow only necessary apps to run on background. I only allowed whatsapp, gmail, etc. (go to phone manager->battery->protected apps to check)
6. Enable Developer option, set all animations to .5x
Note: A restart required after.
Edit: Please note tip 1 is very important, i got huge performance boost after using "google go". Not only in Honor 5x, i tried the same on Asus Zenfone Max and got the same result (very good improvement on performance) from my friend. I request you to try the same in any old mobile (android 4.4.+) & let us know the give feedback. Rest of the tips are optional.
Good luck
Hello,

I checked and found Google go in all android devices. Check you android version, update all to latest version( os & apps).
I'm using official stock rom(6.0.1) and without any issue.

I think it depends of country where you are, or look in aptoid or apkmirror
I did this today, I have the USA L24 variant, and tried this just for giggles and IT WORKED. Wow what a difference! I had to get Google Go off Apk Mirror. After downloading it I went ahead and uninstalled/froze apps Google Go itself provides that were already installed by me. Whomever the OP is of this thread, thank you!

P9 Lite unexisting build number, throw away?

Hi there, I wish your expert help please (I'll throw this phone otherwise, too much effort/time lost).
I'm using a P9 Lite with build number VNS-L31C432B417 , Android 7.0.
I can't find any good reference to that number on the Internet.
Since months Google services is not running any longer on my phone, e.g. G's icons all disappeared. Cleared cached of G's apps , made whatever (but rooting), without success as of today (no emails, no youtube, no play store etc).
Now, I wish to upgrade the OS but it keeps saying 'No Updates Available', your phone is already up to date...
Connection Mac desktop-phone via HiSuite fails (despite I enabled HiSuite on HDB, on my phone's settings), "HiSuite quit unexpectedly".
Use of HiCare useless as well, no update found.
Can you please help out here ?
Thanks much for your time

Hello,
yes the "phone throw" will be part of the disciplines
of the next Olympics, so train well ...
I state that I am not an expert, just a user like you, perhaps with a little more experience ...
Okay, I checked and your firmware is actually the latest available.
That's weird...
How is it possible that you no longer have the services of big G?
Which big G app did you clear the cache if you no longer have them on the device?

Hello, hi, thanks for your answer.
I can still see them all listed in Settings > Apps ! That's the point.
I can see them (GMail, Google, Google News, Play Books, Play Games, Play Movies, Play Music, Play services, Google+, Hangouts...), and they are up working.... I cleared the cache mainly for " Google Play services ". Some of their icons are still on my screen but e.g. clicking on GMail or YouTube I get " Gmail won't run without Google Play services, which are not supported by your device " ....... !!!
Of course I logged out and relogged onto my G account .... but nothing changed.
So ?

Ok, it's clear, google play services for some reason no longer does its job.
Dude, I don't know, something screwed up your device.... once I solved it like this:
Settings> security> device administrator and disable 'android device management':
Go back and access apps, then find and press on
google play services:
Press on uninstall or uninstall updates.
Open the play stores and update google play services as one
any application.
If it doesn't automatically, look for it in the top bar
and update it ...
I hope it works for you too ...

Thank you for your suggestion..... I just did a hard reset and obviously everything got back working...... Not really the way to solve the issue, surely the most effective.
