I have google services on my mate 30 pro.

Few questions before I impulse buy this phone lol

1. does anyone know which shop PJ damansara area where they can help me GMS?
2. after installed GMS, am I required to always in the look eg. if google constantly find ways to invalidate your previously installed GMS? Just like the cat and mouse game Magisk is playing with google last time?
3. some of the apps I wanna keep using:
Grab, foodpanda(?), gmail, waze, maybank, ewallets (boost, tng, fave, bigpay), netflix, standard chartered..

Mine was done once and only once. Updated many times and still running perfectly until now. Never had the need to think about reinstalling GMS before.

Get the 5G model bro... the cameras are a tad better.

Only thing hold me back is the lack of 90hz refresh rate 😜

Yes.. the camera on the normal Mate 30 Pro is damn good already, if not one of the best out there. But since you are buying a new set, just get the 5G model for a bit extra.

Maybe you will like the phone so much you wont sell off? 

GMS is there for a reason you know.

You can actually live without GMS, if the app isn't available on App Gallery, you can still find it through Petal Search.

But some apps that relies on GMS will either pop up a GMS error every time you open the app or it will not just not work at all.

If I were you, I would get the 5G variant for the best experience, you already rugi when you're getting an Android phone anyways.

Mind sharing us which apps do you use frequently? We can check for you.

To start off with what that's available...

Huawei App Gallery: Foodpanda, M2U, HLB Connect, Lazada, Shopee, Boost, TnG, Fave, Whatsapp

Petal Search (APK): Grab, Waze, Starbucks (shortcut to website)

App with problems:

1. Foodpanda - Sometimes when you can't add something to the order, you need to keep tapping on the food options (eg: Like after you selected a drink on Tealive, you need to keep tapping on the options back and forth until it's selected then only you can add to order)

2. Grab - Map doesn't work, so you can't pinpoint a location, you only can type it in. Also, you may not see the option for you to show your QR code initially, so you have to look for the latest version and it will appear after some time.

If you wanna transfer your Whatsapp data, go install Phone Clone and all your data will be transferred seamlessly.

Also, some apps that can't be installed from either App Gallery and Petal Search can also be transferred using Phone Clone app, but one thing to note is that once the app developer releases a new update and the app prompts you to do so, you can't do anything, the app will be useless. My case is with Bigpay, doesn't work anymore, and now I'm back to using debit card.

Hi all,

i plan to get a mate 30 pro during 8.8 ( if manage to get 1) since it offer for rm2299.

i am mate 20 user currently and i have compare at gsm arena :

https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...6&idPhone3=9367

can I confirm with you all that:

1. is mate 30 pro comes with sterea speaker ( gsmarema didnt stated there) & dobly atmos ?
2. How is the speaker sound compare to mate 20 / samsung s20+
3. I know cannot support youtube apps , how about Spotify?

Nope... No preinstalled screen protector. You have to buy seperately. Spotify I would have to check back later.

What hassle?

It just doesn’t work that way bro. We need GMS, period.

If you don't rely on Google services a lot, you will get used to it after some time, just be sure to check and think properly (maybe also try it at stores first) before pulling the trigger.
Good luck, but make sure to check and test properly before pulling the trigger, experience will be a little different compared to a usual Android phone.

Sure we can. We did with the Nokia 3310.

there is only 3 units @ price of RM2299.
HW will not miss you hah

he saw this kot

Each Customer with the same registered account of HUAWEI Store can only purchase a maximum of three (3) units of each Must Buy Product throughout the Must Buy Period.

 

hopefully they got enough stock. im also eyeing on one, but having same thinking as you guys. im heavily dependent on google. the 1 time installation GMS im fine, i afraid every few weeks or months need to reinstall and redo the apk only.

Yes... its on the pipeline already bro.. So fast my phone is one year old already. 

Be sure to test out the Mate 30 Pro 5G too, who knows that the funky orange color might be up for your taste.
Love Huawei products too, but they're still too far from closing down their business so they have plenty of money to lose.

The problem is they have to keep on with HMS and get more apps into it since getting an app developer to port the same app from GMS to HMS is not that difficult to do since it's still Android after all. But going for Harmony OS (if the mobile version ever exists) will be very tough because it's a whole new OS.

One thing for sure, Huawei is probably never gonna get back GMS even if Biden takes over Trump.
