https://www.techadvisor.co.uk/news/mobile-phone/huawei-mate-30-pro-on-sale-26-september-china-3702779/ Huawei Mate 30 Pro on sale tomorrow in China The UK and Europe waits as China gets the best Huawei phone yet By Henry Burrell | 8 hours ago The Huawei Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro have just got an official release date after their launch in Munich last week. If you’re in China, you’ll be able to buy the phones from tomorrow, 26 September (via GSMArena). The big story for us with the Mate 30 phones is their lack of Google apps and services out of the box. Even though it’s not too hard to get Google apps on them (we did it) it’s not the best user experience. All other Android phones in the West have them fully installed, and for a phone that costs over 1,000 Euros, it’s seriously off putting. No such problem in China, where Google simply doesn’t exist. Chinese retailers Vmall and JD have the phones up for pre-order already, so the official announcement is no surprise. After all, Huawei had to launch the phone somewhere. We unboxed the Mate 30 Pro and it is a stunning phone. The quad cameras look to improve on the already stupendously good P30 Pro but it’ll be a tough sell for European buyers if it comes to our shores. Without easy access to Google services, we’d be cautious about spending this much money on a phone when you could buy a Samsung, Oppo, Sony or OnePlus phone with full Google integration.

https://9to5google.com/2019/09/23/how-to-install-google-apps-on-mate-30-pro/ This is how easy it is to get Google apps on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro [Video] Damien Wilde - Sep. 23rd 2019 1:00 am PT@iamdamienwilde The Huawei Mate 30 Pro is in a place that no other flagship has been before, launching globally but with no ‘official’ access to the Google Play Store and Google Play Services right out of the box. This means that many of your favorite Google apps are not instantly accessible on the Mate 30 Pro without a workaround or sideloading. Luckily it is ridiculously easy to get Google Play Services, and therefore, Google apps working on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro. I need to preface this by saying that you can ‘sideload’ many Google apps using sites like APKmirror but without the underlying libraries and necessary data, they will fail to load or encounter issues. Installing the Google Play Services frameworks turns the Huawei Mate 30 Pro into what you’d consider a ‘normal’ Android smartphone. You can use every Google app as normal and all-in-all, the process takes less than 10 minutes and doesn’t need any real technical know-how — meaning it can be done by just about anyone. While Huawei cannot tell you how to install Google apps on the Mate 30 Pro for legal reasons, it’s unclear if employees in carrier stores will be able to help potential buyers add the Google Service Assistant APK file to their devices and streamline the process even further. I have personally been running Google Play Services since the Mate 30 launch with zero issues, everything works as expected with no major hiccups beyond the fact the phone comes without the ‘normal’ setup process we’re all used to. It was initially believed that an unlocked bootloader would be needed to install custom ROMs with Google Play Services and apps included but the solution is far more simple than that. The Huawei AppGallery does have a substantial library but it won’t ever be able to compete with the Google Play Store in sheer size and scale. 1. Open the stock ‘Browser’ or alternatively sideload the Chrome APK (does not need Google Play Services to operate) 2. Head to the following web address: http://www.lzplay.net/ 3. Hit the big blue button to download the Google Services Framework installer 4. Allow the Google Services Assistant installer to install all of the necessary files and frameworks. 5. Once the Google Play Store is installed, run the application. 6. At this point, you may encounter issues being able to sign in. Simply restart your device and re-launch. 7. Sign-in and install any Google apps (note: you do not need to install all Google apps should you not require them). 8. Follow the video guide above for step-by-step instructions. All-in-all the entire process takes less than 10 minutes to complete — in fact, it took me less than five minutes from receiving the device to being able to launch the Google Play Store with no issues. Signing-in to the Google Play Store also means that other Google apps like Gmail, Drive, Maps and the rest will automatically log you in on the Mate 30 Pro just as they would on a licensed Android phone. Once the Google Services Framework is installed, the Mate 30 Pro runs just like any other Android phone. I haven’t encountered any major issues beyond some picture-in-picture annoyances with YouTube. Google Pay appears to work with no problems — although I will be testing this over the coming days — as do all of my banking apps.

Huawei Insider Confirms Putting Google Apps On Huawei Mate 30 Pro 'Is Easy' David Phelan Senior Contributor Consumer Tech Huawei’s next flagship, the Huawei Mate 30 Pro, looks gorgeous and is stuffed with advanced innovations and cutting-edge tech. But, unless there’s a change in the political weather from President Trump, it will launch without a full-fat Google Android on board. This is not Huawei’s preference, but it has reluctantly said the phone will launch with AOSP, that’s the basic, open-source version of Android on it. Which means there’s no Google Play Store, no Gmail, no Google Maps and so on, all of which require Google Mobile Services (GMS), and the current situation precludes Huawei launching with that. There have been indications recently that loading GMS was far from impossible, though it could be fraught with difficulties and require a steady nerve. Now, though, there is evidence that loading Google apps to the Huawei Mate 30 Pro is quick, simple and highly effective. And that evidence comes from an impeccable source: someone inside Huawei itself. The insider, speaking confidentially to me, explained that the process took them a matter of minutes, after which they logged into Google Play Store, and were then able to download apps seamlessly in a conventional way. There are tutorials on the internet, including a useful one from the reliably excellent Damien Wilde at 9to5Google. That’s good, because this method includes using a site called lzplay.net which is all in Chinese. Wilde’s tutorial helpfully indicates how to progress through this. Wilde says it’s a five-minute operation, too. The 9to5Google explainer also warns that this process is done at the user’s own risk – a standard comment on this kind of story. As you can see from the photograph above, the Huawei insider has been able to load Gmail, Google Maps, Play Store, YouTube, a folder of Google apps and more. Moreover, I’m told that their Mate 30 Pro is completely stable and “working as you’d expect.” All apps, the source said, are “functioning brilliantly, the whole thing is easy.” This doesn’t mean the process is completely without concerns, as explored by fellow Forbes contributor Zak Doffman here. And it’s still, frankly, more complicated than many customers will want to get involved with. If other phones have all these items installed before they’re sold, many will choose those brands instead. But they won’t get Huawei’s stellar design, brilliant battery life, outstanding cameras and more. The side-loading system, now it's proving to be simple, makes a big difference. There are still sticking points. Netflix will not work to its fullest, but a simple way around that would be if Netflix puts its app in the Huawei App Gallery, its equivalent of the Google Play Store. It's not a complete solution, then, but it certainly makes the phone much more enticing. Although the best outcome for Huawei and customers alike would be the lifting of the trading ban between Huawei and the U.S. – something that still could happen – the fact that getting the Google apps people want onto the Mate 30 series of phones opens up a lot of exciting possibilities.

One of the food craze in Thailand these recent years is what Thai call "Leng" its basically pork back bone spicy and sour soup. I believe the word "leng" is borrowed from local Teochew Chinese that means dragon as teochew will call the vertebrae "leng kut" meaning dragon-bones as it resembles a dragon. Anyway this is Leng - soup is similar to tomyam, spicy and sour. Its lunch time so its crowded and this popular stall is near my office Also popular for roast duck and roast meats The Leng of course Lunch for 5 costs only 450 baht or $20

Discovered an interesting restaurant about 4km from office, went there for lunch for the first time.
