If you received your phone directly from China for example a NXT-AL10 , you need to install Play Store separately, to use Google contacts You also need to install an apk to sync them.
Give them permissions to work properly.
Go in settings, Apps.

Contacts sync version 7.0 seems not working properly.
Possible it's for Android 7.0

After going back to v 6.01 I needed to stop the program, clear data and cache and renew all permissions to have it working properly Again.

Huawei dialer/contacts on Chinese mate 8 doesn't support additional fields for first name and surname etc.
It's not possible to sort on them either.
For that you can install google contacts.
According to Play store our device is not compatible with it. So you need to install from apkmirror also in case you need it.
Don't worry, it's safe. At least for me it is though.

I did not installed the google contact on my NXT-AL10. I just export the contacts from my old phone to a vcf file and dump into the mate 8 and import it into the Huawei contact app.

This way I can share them including foto's and more on every device I own. Changes on one device will show on the other devices too this way. ?
But, everybody can do it as he pleases. ?

Plz help me>>google play store not working

Please help me. I am using Mate 8 NXT AL10 Chinese Version. When it came to me was installed with EMUI 4.1 and now updated to EMUI 5 (over the air). Phone is not rooted at all.

When I got this phone, I was unable to have Google Play Store and other Google apps, then I use it’s built in App “Hiapp” and from Hiapp I installed Google play store and all other thing.
Everything works very fine all went good even updating EMUI 5.

Last week I visited Dubai (UAE) and here the problem begins, At Dubai (UAE) when I tried to download IMO calling software from Google play Store, I was unable to download it. Google Store worked fine but while downloading the progress bar keep on going for hours without any download. Same I encountered while updating google different apps update.

I checked with permissions (all are granted already) and other things but I am still facing the same issue.

I though perhaps it would be an app conflict issue due to Hiapp (Chinese) and Google Play store and I disable Hiapp as well but problem remained there.

I am stuck what is the issue. Can anyone help me.

For any question let me know.
