Huaweis Next Flagship Phone Blocked From Using Google Apps
Huaweis Next Flagship Phone Blocked From Using Google Apps === https://fancli.com/2tj0OV
Huawei will launch a new flagship phone next month which may not come with Google apps, a source with direct knowledge of the matter told CNBC, as the Chinese firm faces being blocked from accessing the search giant's software.
Google is subject to these restrictions. Huawei relies on Google's Android operating system to power its smartphones. In China, Huawei uses a modified version of Android which is stripped of Google services like Gmail or Maps because those are blocked in the country. Instead, it pre-loads its own apps. But in international markets, those Google services are pre-loaded on Huawei phones.
On March 26, 2020, HUAWEI unveiled the HUAWEI P40, P40 Pro, and P40 Pro Plus. The three phones feature all the flagship hardware one would expect from a P series device, including an absolutely incredible rear camera system.
Huawei has officially taken the wraps off its next flagship smartphone release, the Mate 30 Pro. This phone is interesting not just as the latest device from the world's second-biggest smartphone manufacturer (after Samsung) but also because this is the first big Huawei launch after the Trump administration's executive order banning US companies from doing business with Huawei. As a result, the Mate 30 Pro is an Android phone that doesn't have any Google apps! The company is not even allowed to use the word \"Android,\" which is a Google trademark. It's Huawei's ecosystem or bust.
At the end of a lengthy presentation on the Mate 30, Huawei CEO Richard Yu acknowledged the phone would not be coming with Google's apps and services. Instead, he highlighted \"Huawei Mobile Services\" as a replacement. Huawei has been using its own app ecosystem in China for some time, as Google Play is not available there, and now this ecosystem will have to come to Europe and the other places Huawei does business.
As you probably know, the Trump administration banned US companies from doing business with Huawei several months ago. Recently Huawei had a big smartphone launch, the Mate 30 Pro, the first Huawei phone to launch without Google apps, thanks to the export ban. The lack of Google apps is a serious black mark on the device, as it is now shipping without the Android app ecosystem and without killer Google apps like the Play Store, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Chrome, the Google Assistant, and more.
With all the traditional techniques out the window, the Internet's brand-new method for getting Google apps onto the Mate 30 is through a website called Lzplay.net. You can see news articles promoting this site from just about all the major Android news sites. I Googled \"mate 30 pro install play store,\" and literally every result on the first page recommended Lzplay.net. It's easy to see why Lzplay is ubiquitous: go to the website, install the app, mash \"next\" a few times, and boom, Google apps are on your Huawei device.
Huawei Devices: I have used Huawei devices in the past, and have a few friends who absolutely love them, including a couple who are Security Engineers. If you are going to use one, in fact, if you are using any Android phone, download Redmorph from the Google Play Store and you will be able to see and block connections you do not like.
The Chinese phone and infrastructure kit maker said it expects to see a spike in demand even if it is still blocked from using the latest Google software. Huawei confirmed in late August the Mate 30 will not have access to the Play Store app, including Google Maps, YouTube and Gmail.
Currently, phone components affected by the ban includes Google's Android operating system and apps, semiconductor design tools from Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems Inc, and radio frequency chips made by Qorvo and Skyworks.
The Find My Phone feature is a security feature that can help you find, lock and erase your phone. When you have forgotten the password, you can make use of it to unlock the Huawei phone by erasing data on it. After doing this, all your data on the phone would be erased but you can restore the backed-up data from Huawei cloud.Here's how to unlock Huawei P20/P30/P40 without resetting by using this feature.
We find a ultimate way to keep tabs on your child without being in the same room!

According to confirmed reports from Huawei, HarmonyOS will allow users to continue using Android apps, while also allowing them to download and run HarmonyOS apps. However, it won't have access to the Play Store, since that's owned by Google. Harmony itself has over 134,000 apps, and over four million developers have signed on to distribute apps on the platform.
Connecting to your carrier's network inherently depends on you identifying yourself to it and anyone able to obtain administrative access. Activating airplane mode will fully disable the cellular radio transmit and receive capabilities, which will prevent your phone from being reached from the cellular network and stop your carrier (and anyone impersonating them to you) from tracking the device via the cellular radio. The baseband implements other functionality such as Wi-Fi and GPS functionality, but each of these components is separately sandboxed on the baseband and independent of each other. Enabling airplane mode disables the cellular radio, but Wi-Fi can be re-enabled and used without activating the cellular radio again. This allows using the device as a Wi-Fi only device.
The approach of intercepting traffic is inherently incompatible with encryption from the client to the server. The AdGuard app works around encryption by supporting optional HTTPS interception by having the user trust a local certificate authority, which is a security risk and weakens HTTPS security even if their implementation is flawless (which they openly acknowledge in their documentation, although it understates the risks). It also can't intercept connections using certificate pinning, with the exception of browsers which go out of the way to allow overriding pinning with locally added certificate authorities. Many of these apps only provide domain-based filtering, unlike the deeper filtering by AdGuard, but they're still impacted by encryption due to Private DNS (DNS-over-TLS) and require disabling the feature. They could provide their own DNS-over-TLS resolver to avoid losing the feature, but few of the developers care enough to do that.
Google's Factory Reset Protection ties devices to a Google account using a tiny, special region of persistent state not wiped by a factory reset. It prevents a thief from wiping the device to a fresh state for resale without being stuck at a screen for authenticating with the Google account persisted on the device after wiping. Google's approach works well because if users forget their Google password, there are account recovery methods available to avoid a bricked phone.
It would be possible to make an implementation not reliant upon an online service where the user has the option to enable Factory Reset Protection and is given a seed phrase required to use the device after wiping data from recovery. However, since this has no security value and the ability to deter theft is questionable, implementing this is an extremely low priority. Users will end up with a bricked phone if they lose the seed phrase and need to wipe the phone after forgetting their passphrase or something else causing them to need to wipe such as breaking the OS via the Android Debug Bridge shell. Bricked phones would be a far bigger problem than any theft deterrence this could provide. This approach may be implemented by GrapheneOS in some form in the future but it's a low priority and we don't want to cause people to brick their phones. We won't be able to offer any help if people brick their phones with this.
Bundling additional apps with the OS can increase attack surface, unless users go out of the way to disable apps they aren't using. Bundling an app into the base OS is also painful to reverse, since removing the app without implementing a migration mechanism will lose user data stored in the app. Some users are also going to take issue with the choices made by the project or will want to make suggestions for bundling more apps, and having this as a regular topic of discussion and debate is unproductive and distracts from the real work of the project. Each bundled app also increases the size of the base OS, and shipping the app updates as part of the OS updates results in more overall bandwidth usage. It would be possible to ship only out-of-band app updates to avoid wasted bandwidth for apps users have disabled, but then the apps would be temporarily out-of-date and vulnerable to patched security issues after a factory reset or the user re-enabling them. If the updates aren't going to be shipped with the OS, it really makes no sense to bundle them.
GrapheneOS has made substantial contributions to the privacy and security of the Android Open Source Project, along with contributions to the Linux kernel, LLVM, OpenBSD and other projects. Much of our past work is no longer part of the downstream GrapheneOS project because we've successfully landed many patches upstream. We've had even more success with making suggestions and participating in design discussions to steer things in the direction we want. Many upstream changes in AOSP such as removing app access to low-level process, network, timing and profiling information originated in the GrapheneOS project. The needs of the upstream projects are often different from ours, so they'll often reimplement the features in a more flexible way. We've almost always been able to move to using the upstream features and even when we still need our own implementation it helps to have the concepts/restrictions considered by the upstream project and apps needing to be compatible with it. Getting features upstream often leads to an improved user experience and app compatibility. 153554b96e
