Question Apps refusing to run - Xiaomi Mi MIX Fold

Hello,
A number of my apps are refusing to run, telling me I am not in the UK. They have geo location permission so they are checking but then not running. I am in the UK using my Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold..which I imported from Hong Kong and is running rhe Chinese ROM as there is no global ROM or a global model launch as yet, maybe there never will be a global version. How do I solve this issue please ?

Which apps?
I am in UAE, changed the global unofficial software to Chinese ROM, I have no issues in any app.

Footie 5 and Skysports fantasy football to name two apps that refuse to run

Skysports tested and working fine for me.
Footie 5 could not find the app

Sky sports fantasy football app says will not run in your location. I am in the UK... How do I resolve that issue ?

[Q] HTC one X in China - how to get the google play store

Hi!
I'll try to explain me as best as possible here about the 2 main issues I have with my One X.
I'm living in Shanghai, and I've bought it here, however, because of the stupid issues between Google and China, my One X doesn't have the Google play store.
I tried to dowmload it, and it doesn't launch, after a second or 2, I'm back to the main screen of my phone.
I contacted HTC, and they basically told me to use the Hiapk market, but it's extremely limited, and some apps won't work. For ex: downloading Foursquare through this parallel market is ok, but when it comes to the install, it would just tell me that the app can't be installed...
I asked HTC if it's possible to overcome these restrictions, as I'm french, and would certainly go back to France someday... Had no answer... As for foursquare, HTC told me to contact foursquare directly.
So, I would like to know if it is possible to change the OS of the phone to put one from anywhere else in the world where the play store is not factory censored, and if that would for example solve the foursquare issue (or any possible issue that I might have with other apps).
Sorry if I'm not using the good terms, but I just switched from IOS to android 3 weeks ago...
The warranty would certainly be void, but I'm up taking the risk as I can't use the phone for more than 2/3 games... I feel like I've just made an expensive mistake...
Thanks in advance for your help!
You can root it and install a custom rom on it that will give you access to the play store.

How could I do that ? what does root exactly means ?
I'm new to android, and I'm not sure about what I should do. Did few research but I'm not sure about what I should pick and install on it.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, just the same OS but with the possibility to have the play store, I don't really want to overclock or change it at all levels.
Thanks for the answer!
Rooting is like "administrator" access on a PC, if that makes sense. You can install a custom ROM that looks like what you have now but with extra features. I think if you go in the development section there are a few threads you can look at that will help you root and install a custom ROM so you can access the play store. Goodluck
Will definitely give it a shot
Thanks for your help!
If you are rooted you can simply install the 'market enabler' app

use a VPN
qtableau,
(and others behind the #@$!%* Great FireWall)
i live in SH as well,
Do yourself a really big favor! Get a VPN!
Rooted phones do nothing for websites that are blocked (which come and go).
A rooted phone is not a solution to blocked websites
&
Market Enabler, although a great app, can not be used to unblock websites, it merely tells the Android Market/Google play store you are using a different service provider so you can download apps not available in your country (to bypass the “This item is not compatible with your device” MSG) IE my China Unicom Device is displayed as "AT&T HTC Desire" in the play store
AND because almost every non-Chinese website in the world has a facebook, twitter, and a Google+ feed/rss button/, every time a non Chinese page loads the #@$!%* Great FireWall needs time to check it out before it loads, so without a vpn surfing on a mobile can be horrible.
I use a VPN service provided by 12vpn, you can use it with multiple computers and mobile devices simultaneously. It will change your life. I have it on 4 desktops, a laptop, an iphone and android phone.
And you can use it to access online content that is not available outside certain countries ie: i can access the online TV website hulu.com which is only available to US residents.
one caveat: you CAN'T use it on a computer that has a running a torrent program though...which sucks! You have to close the program before you can run the vpn but just on (i pretty sure this a 12vpn policy, other providers should let u use a torrent program simultaneously)`
Costs about 400RMB a year but freedom is PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!
Disclosure: I am 4 year customer of 12vpn.com and have no other interests/connections to the company
IMHO Chinese censorship is mostly a BUSINESS decision. Same as any governmental organization that requires a certain amount of local programming on TV or radio (FCC, CRTC,oxfam etc)
Hi! I was wondering if you found a solution? I have the exact same problem. I recently bought a Galaxy S3 and found out i cant access google play or any of the google apps. i downloaded the APK files and tried to install it, but they don't open at all. I'd love to hear how you solved (and hope you di!)

I found a solution by paying a bit more...
I gave up on trying to read all the tutorials on how to root phones and went to an electronic market in SH (where I live, if you do, go to xujiahui to do so)
For a hundred RMB, I got it changed to a hongkong OS, where everything is allowed and works great. Some updates not even available on the official one in China went with it. Hope it helps and that you'll be able to find a market near your place.
Basically, my advice for some other people reading this thread: Don't buy it in a real shop, go to a market, they're half the price, and already flashed to a "working" version... wish I'd known that
Play Store also don´t work with VPN cause the issue isn´t connection kind but factory blocked. So I wil go also the way to get my OS changed. Guess there´s a big risk of abortive flash so is there any possibility of orig. OS back up to be flashed back if any inconvience happen?
Pls help me
Hi, I do have the exact same problem with my Note2. I bought it in store in Beijing.
And now I'm stuck coz there's nothing more I could do without the Play Store.
How did you find the market? And What did you tell them?
Most of the chinese here cannot understand English so how can we tell them?
Please help me out with this.
Thank you.
download orbot.apk(requires root to fully function) or hotspotshield.apk look for them on google (how ironic), use them only when using market(they slow down the internet to some extent, but act as a proxy on your phone)

Hi, do you know if you made something else to your phone? i know that this S3 version from UNICOM uses a different modem that wont allow us to install anyother Samsung build and i was wondering about if in the WHOLE world there was another country that used the same modem so i can install that build in my China/unicom phone. If this is a transparent solution I AM SOOOO DOING IT!

Hello guys!
If you have this kind of issues then the only thing you need to do is:
- Download FASTBOOT files, Google it, it should be 3 files. The size small. Make your own folder called "Android" on C: Drive. Put the files there.
- Unlock the Boot loader, go to your respective forums and find a way to unlock your device's Boot loader.
- Get ClockWorkMod recovery for your device, Google it, go to their website, search for newest version for your device, download.
- Put the .img file onto the "Android" folder.
- Enter Boot loader mode (For HTC it's POWER + Volume Down). Navigate using physical buttons, and Select FASTBOOT option.
- Flash it with CMD on Windows by using this command:
--- cd c:\Android
--- fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_you_downloaded.img
--- fastboot erase cache
- Done all that, search for a custom ROM that's already pre-ROOTed and has built-in Kernel to avoid troubles like boot loops.
- Put that ROM onto your SD card, DO NOT EXTRACT THE ZIP.
- Enter Recovery by going into Boot loader mode
- Full Wipe/Factory Reset your phone through Recovery, then erase Cache through Recovery too.
- "Install zip from SD" card through Recovery, select the ROM.zip, select YES. Now wait.
- Voila, Democracy speaks for itself ;D
Thank me if i helped! :laugh:

fire stick 2nd gen - geo restriction

Hi all,
I own a 2nd gen fire stick (purchased when I was living in UK with my still active amazon uk prime account).
Since few months I'm back in Italy where
a. the stick is not sold yet
b. amazon prime video has started one or two months ago
Since the latest update everytime I try to watch amazon I got an geo restriction error even if I try to watch the italian catalogue -got a italian prime subscription too -(netflix is working fine on the same stick).
Is there a way to downgrade the version of the OS and to go back to a previous release?
Thank you all for the support.
Rocket34
Did you solve?
i'm from italy, same problem with an used firestick...
Mee too. I've been struggling with "Network error" for ages. Never solved. I've read you need a US Amazon (mine imported from USA) account or the localized version from where you bought the device to solve. I only have a Prime enabled italian account.

There's two things you can try
1 - change your device location
This involves logging into your amazon account on a pc and changing your location to Italy
You then need to deregister your firestick on the firestick account page & sign back in again
This will allow you to use the Italian amazon prime video but any UK restricted videos downloaded I believe will only work for 30days from the download date
How to transfer click spoiler
Transfer Your Amazon Account
To transfer your Amazon account from your current Amazon website to your local Amazon website:
Go to Manage your content and devices and click the Settings tab.
Under Country Settings, click Change.
Select or enter your address, and then click Update.
If you are eligible to purchase digital content from another Amazon website, follow the onscreen prompts to learn more about what will happen if you transfer accounts.
When you're ready, select the option to transfer your account to complete the process.
2 - Use a vpn app & set your location to UK to access UK content
Iv not tried either as I'm not a prime member or moved abroad but that's where I would start

It should show content from the country your amazon account & the firestick is registered to
For example I changed the country from UK to America & it allowed me to download American apps like abc nbc but it removes UK apps like BBC Iplayer until I changed it back
If the app itself is different in the country you may also need to remove it & get the local version but I would have thought it would be the same
I would contact amazon for support & clarification on this issue but as you have already bought a new device it will be pre-registered to correct location

you're right for the fact that apps (like netflix) works and it download italina version, but the problem is with amazon prime content..
I wrote to amazon (both .it and .uk) and both told me the issue can be solved only buying a new stick.
What it's incredible for me is this country blocking that also on hw and not only on sw. (many companies in EU are now obliged to remove any country blocking...)

Maybe the prime app is different - only way to tell is to get the Italian version and install it on the UK stick
You would have to remove the UK one or decompile the Italian one & give it a different package name in its manifest & resign it although that may cause issues depending on how the app works
Other than that I don't know what to suggest

can you retrieve the italian apk from a fire tv stick withour root?

Yes - via adb
Package name is com.amazon.avod
Easy way is to use the app apps2fire - make sure adb is enabled on both your phone and the firestick via developer options - then just find the app & download it to your phone
You can also install apps that are on your phone to the firestick (either installed on your phone or if you have the apk)
Make sure you also enter your firesticks ip address into the app as well
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.koni.appstofiretv
Of course you can do it manually via adb pull terminal commands on a pc or even an apk extractor app
I dont own an italian version right now. Mine is a US imported Fire TV Stick 2. I was able to retrieve the apk thanks to the advices but I guess it makes no sense to upload it cause it's just a USA apk and not an italian one. As I said earlier it gives me a "NETWORK ERROR" error. Maybe it's important to add that Im using dnsmasq to block domains to avoid updates.
Domains blocked are below. Just to be sure that blocked domains dont create issues with Prime Videos. If needed I can upload the US Prime Video apk.

How to install watchfaces on Honor band 5 and Huawei Watch GT

Hi all,
Someone manages to install the custom watchfaces on the honor band 5.
1. Create Chinese Huawei ID
2. Download and install Beta version Huawei Health
3. Pair your phone with your Honor Band 5 or Huawei Watch GT
4. Go to "Watch faces", disable Themes service and set phone language to English
5. Once again go to "Watch faces", enable Themes service and upload your custom Watchface (.hwt file)(can be downloaded from the below given source)
Important note: you need to repeat steps 4 and 5 every time you want to upload new watchface. Is place only for one custom watchface, once you upload new one, old one will be replaced.
Credit : GIK-Team
Source : amazfitwatchfaces.com
I've tried Chinese ID, Hong Kong (China) ID, UK ID, all linked to different emails. ... still not Watch Face store on my Health App,
Honor Band 5 Firmware 1.1.0.120
Health App 10.0.2.511
Huawei P20 Pro Global Version & Huawei P30 Pro Global Version
So disappointed
Clear Health App Data & Cache
Uninstall Health App
Logout of Current ID
Login to Country Specific ID
Reboot
Add Back Health App (Health Beta from the forum cannot be installed on my CLT-L29 (P20 Pro) and VOG-L29 (P30 Pro) for some reason.
Health App has 2 screen for confirming Bluetooth Access and Terms and Conditions, nowhere could one select the Service Region nor change the Service Region in the Health App
I've tried the Health App default in Phone, the Health App from Google Play Store and the Health App from Huawei App Gallery
Could Huawei have removed this important feature from the firmware?
This is rather ridiculous because this is one of the key features one would look for in a "smart" watch or a "smart" health band that advertises this capability.
There is one site mentioning to use UK ID, I will get my band in a day or two so I can't confirm it yet. In case you guys manage to do that kindly let me know

NFC get working on GT2 Pro

Any workaround for NFC working in EU?
We shall rise this question up. Since GT2, we did not get support of NFC outside of China region.
After I playing around the watch with several versions (current/old/beta) of China Huawei Health app, I believe it is a region and firmware lock on non-CN version GT2 Pro.
Basically, the app detect my GT2 Pro is saled in EU, so it provide the firmware update for EU model, even though the hardware inside all models should be the same (all have NFC chip).
The same issue comes with the 301 heart health app, which available for China model, and it allows the watch uses your heart rate data to diagnose premature atrial contraction and sleep apnea, which is a key feature advertised in China for these huawei smart bands and watches.
Again, you might guess, CN GT2 Pro model support this function. And my EU GT2 Pro was locked for this app to recognise.
Since Huawei EU offical state they will not support full NFC functions outside of China.
The only possible workaround is somebody with high skill, that able to flash Chinese firmware into EU model, which might unlock all these NFC cards, alipay, and heart health app functions. If that's still not working, then it will also required to trick the Huawei Health app to believe the EU model as a CN model.
I am not capable of doing these works, but people in this forum might be dig deeper into this topic.

Don't think that will be possible.. Don't understand huawei why they doin these restrictions..
It could be due to the restriction of certain regions, such as the functions of heart health app could be not approved by other country governments, as it is a feature related to human healthcare.
For example, it might require FDA approval to activate this function in USA, just like what Apple watch has done; likewise, the ECG function of apple watch is disabled in China model, because it did not gain the approval by the China government, but people still been allowed to flash US firmware to enable this feature on China model.
I don't have a EU huawei phone, so I am not sure how NFC of huawei phone is like. But I don't understand why NFC is not enabled in non-CN region, simply not make sense.
When you buy a product with its full function limited, Huawei just pissed off its customers, the fault of terrible closed ecosystem.
A small update on heart health app:
I have to install the huawei Health app first to connect my watch to my phone; then install the Heart Health app. Fot CN model, by that time, the second app will automatically connect to your phone-linked watch. But for my situion, what this app said to my watch is: the app does not support current version of this watch. So it is not connecting to my watch.
However, if I using a older beta version of Huawei health app, to connect to my watch; the Heart Health app can actually connected to my watch, but it is not able actually to perform the diagnose, showing error when activated.
So I suspect there are two major problems await resolve.
First, that is a software lock based on newer version of Huawei Health app, which refuse the EU watch to connect to Heart Health app.
Second, the firmware provided to EU model is missing the code for proper heart health function (and of course the rest functions like NFC). So must have Chinese firmware flushed into the watch. And surprisingly, it has multi. language support. What a strange decision.
I own a GT2 not pro, i don't know if anyone is still reading, bear with me if I say something stupid because I'm a complete amateur but I think this could be useful. I think the options are there but hidden. For example two weeks ago I purcheased a watchface i liked with dual timezone but I can't find the option in the menu to set it, some watchface are customizable and I came across another one orribile but that allowed me. I tried to set the timezone and it changed to the one I set on the other face as well. Today I found by chance one that had the alipay logo on it so I decided to experiment and purchased it (you can look it up on the store, it is called "little summer night"). The face doesn't allow you to customise the shortcuts but the alipay one seems to actually work, I don't speak Chinese and the English language in the alipay app is beta so the bare minimum is translated but it seems i was successful in pairing the watch.
Yes, indeed. After successfully access Alipay via certain watchface, now, the only missing part is nfc.

I own a GT2 not pro, i don't know if anyone is still reading, bear with me if I say something stupid because I'm a complete amateur but I think this could be useful. I think the options are there but hidden.
