Google warns Huawei users not to sideload its apps

I bet they're just covering their bases from a legal standpoint - they don't/shouldn't care that Huawei users sideload GAPPS.

They should. They don't receive any royalties from people sideloading on an unlicensed system.

I think you can still use it, but you have to specify pickup address, it doesn't work with location based services.

First, what is sideloading?

Second, as much as I hate apps that try to have my location all the time, the ones I do use that need it are google maps, waze and uber. And maybe bottle in the future :)

The problem is with underlying Google Play Services. Things like Uber and The Entertainer rely on this :/

Yea Uber is tough - I could enter a location (Where to) but difficult to enter my pick up address as lots of blank spaces.

Entertainer also needs Google Play, but can just cancel the error and it works as normal.

Another is AirBNB when it comes to maps as well - so can't see location.

Waze works perfectly, and I can send /recieve pin locations in Whatsapp too (I think via Waze)

Installing apps not through the Play Store but installers rather.
 
Apkmirror has all the apps you need.
Download the app you want.
Go to download file on your cell phone.
Install app.
Your phone will **** in its pants.
Give permission to install app.
Google will **** in its pants.
Up to you to let goog check the app for integrity.
Install app.
Holy hell you have just side loaded an app.
Open beer, celebrate.

adb can also be used. This will be too complicated. Go to xda if you want more info.

FREE the Huawei Bootloader Codes you Chinese Twats.

Looks like Google is trying to get their software back on Huawei phones.

Google has reportedly applied for a license to resume business with Huawei

Android and Play Store vice-president Sameer Samat has apparently confirmed that Google has sought permission from the U.S. government to resume business ties with Huawei.

Can you imagine losing so much revenue, because one man said so ?

I heard Google get $20-$40 per device licensing and on 200 million per year, that's quite a loss for Google. Aside from that, quite a large percentage may cancel other subscriptions they have (extra cloud storage or YT Music). I've canned my YT Music because I can't it on my M30P ... so and Spotify gained a subscriber.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Huawei just launched some epic upgraded Matebook laptops. They all have either Intel or AMD CPUs, Windows and MS Office pre-installed.
Google obviously just has a tiny, soft penis :p

Google has some really draconian agendas these days.

They are acting like a self-serving entity that put money first and consumers last.
Much like this Government.

They can't warn the world to do anything. There is no such thing as a world-wide law. That's what differentiates Nations and Countries. Each have their own laws.

They could suggest and recommend yes, but their warnings are nothing more than dirty rags.

The greater risk is that other software partners start to look at leaving the Google fold.

Look at what you are doing with your MP 30. If that works then maybe other suppliers will wonder about the importance of Google.

The irony is that if that happens then Google / the US Gov loose even more intel capability.

Yes just imagine a Xiaomi costing R300-R600 less.

The Huawei affair is proof that the USA expects its laws to be enforced worldwide.

And they're getting pretty close to transgressing international law and interfering in sovereign affairs.

It seems like Microsoft are more proactive than Google and got a licence to trade with Huawei relating to consumer software long before Google thought of doing anything.

The US trade ban against Huawei has forced the manufacturer to ditch Google apps on new phone models, but it’s also affected the brand’s computer business. The trade ban meant that Huawei couldn’t pre-load Windows and other Microsoft software on its Matebook laptops and hybrid devices.

Fortunately, Microsoft has now confirmed to Reuters that the US Department of Commerce has approved its application to export “mass-market software” to Huawei.

“On November 20, the U.S. Department of Commerce granted Microsoft’s request for a license to export mass-market software to Huawei. We appreciate the Department’s action in response to our request,” a Microsoft representative told the newswire in an emailed statement.

Google have also been requesting this, but obviously not with as much success as Microsoft.
Hence my comments.

Maybe instead of just requesting they should have actually applied for the licence (as MS must have done last year sometime).

Google seems to have been quite apathetic.
