Nubia Z17 Mini S problems and doubts - ZTE Nubia Z17 Mini Questions & Answers

Hello everyone,
I just got a Z17 Mini S with GApps installed and after some days using it, i'm having some problems:
- Battery drain really fast
- Google Play worked during some days (not very good but it worked) but now it doesn't install apps anymore. They are always "pending installation".
- Some apps also depending on Google Services (Google Keep, My Maps) do not work well. Basically they don't synchronize my existing data.
I would like to ask here if anyone has been able to solve these problems and how. There are some comments in Z17 Mini threads but I don't know if they apply also to the Mini S.
About the ROMs, I would like to know if those for Mini run also in Mini S model, since I've seen some internacional ones (likes the European ones in the Germany website) released by Nubia but they are always for model NX569J which is standard Z17 Mini model, not the Z17 Mini S model which is NX589J.
I have:
Version: NX589_CNCommon_V210
Model: NX589J
Thank you very much for your help.

I have similar problems with mine (also purchased with GApps installed). For battery life, I massively extended it by switching off WiFi (but I have good coverage and lots of data on my plan, so might not be as good for you).
I also noticed that when I check the permissions for the play services app, it shows none.
I think the root cause is definitely gapps and the modifications made to get gapps installed as I can't even remove the google account to reset play services cache.
Very annoying as its otherwise a great phone... I can't find a great deal of info about rooting it and there aren't any stable ROMs that I can find for it. Though remember it was only released in Sept/Nov last year.
The z17 mini ones (nx569j) definitely won't work (properly) as the devices have different hardware.
Worth adding your voice to the mokee ROM device requests (they've got a lot of the other nubia phones supported so chances are good for this). If I could work out how I'd build a device tree for this, but my skills are not strong enough (happy for someone to explain to me though!!)

I have the same problem too. Hope to find a rom which solves this soon. If you know any workaround, please tell! Thank

I've just bought Z17 mini S too.
- My battery is quite well, it ok for normal use.
- About download on Google play, Sometimes I meet this & I solve it by restart my phone, turn on airplalne mode, clear google play app, cancel pending installation. After that, I try to download again & it works. You can try this.
I found 1 rom cook for nx589j in chinese web & post it. However, i'm being on business, so i cant try this soon

I see there is no resolution for this yet. I have Nubia Z17 Lite, which is very similar to Z17 Mini and problems with Gapps stuck on downloading get solved when I uninstall SwiftKey app - for some reason it is blocking Gapps. With SwiftKey, Play Store gets stuck on preparing to download files, account data are not synchronized etc. I had similar problem also with Google Contacts app. So uninstall those if you have them. Use Gboard instead of SwiftKey.

i have a Z11MINIS and have same question.
the battery is really useless so i replaced it and buy a new one(not the offical type)
my z11minis Google Service is not complete ,so i run a google pack img to make this work.

No google standard applications on my Magic (like market/maps etc.)

Very recently I bought via Ebay a new HTC magic.
To my unpleasant surprise I found out that this phone didn't have the standard google applications installed like google market, google maps, etc.
HTC traced the s/n and it turned out that it originated from Indonesia. This country doesn't have a license to use the google applications. (or something like this) Besides that I'm using the phone in the Netherlands with a Dutch provider.
What is this phone without google market....
Now I have lots of questions, but to begin with I've lined up these 3:
-Is there an APK installation available for google market or other google applications?
-If you have any other ideas to get all the google application, then that is welcome too?
-If I decide to do a ROM update will these applications be available and working for me?
Thanks a lot for your responses!
No apk installation found.
But I installed th cyanogen rom update, and all works perfect.

[Q] Bought n9002 in China, Google play still won't work after rooting

Hi guys, so I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 n9002 in China not long ago, and after returning to Australia recently I still cannot use Google play or any other Google system apps. The main problem I'm having is that I can't seem to log into my account in any Google apps, not even my chrome etc. It keeps saying there is an error connecting with Google servers.
I rooted my phone today by following steps from this very website, since I read that many people had the same problem as me, but after rooting their phone according following CA steps, they were then successful in installing all the Google Apps.
I guess I'm just confused as to why I can't seem to get my phone working when I did what others did.
Just wondering if anyone out there can maybe shed some light on what else I can do to get my Google services to work.
Thanks a lot!
Different rom?

Hm... maybe you're using China firmware and it is blocking Google? They don't like people being able to get unrestricted access to the world so I'd bet on them making sure Android doesn't allow it for China ROM's. You might have to work out how to flash open firmware, which could mean problems with PIT partitions so read up first.
Is the firmware you used a special edition which is blocking Google service?
Delete hosts file in etc folder

Another issue is that if you go to settings/google/sign in and security it gives this error(second screenshot).Please help if you know how to fix these issues.(I have reset factory both before and after the update, and I have also enabled auto run for all google apps in MiAssitant as I always do)

No way this is gonna work. Seriously it has syncing problems with some google apps such as Chrome, Play Games and this is really a shame for ZTE for such a messed up updated the so called MiFavor 5. They'd better release another update soon and fix this.

Why do you think it is a problem of the update though?? I had trouble with GApps on B01 and B06, and I could fix them on both. They stop working all of a sudden, sometimes after a reboot one will get frozen... it's because it's a Chinese ROM.
Try reinstalling it from zero and see if the problem is still there. The way to solve it is that one.

I've already reset factory twice and installed them again , the issue still resists. This update according to its release note was supposed to be more and better optimize with google apps but it just messed the hell out of them

Error code 404 Can't download any apps from Google Play Store

I can't download any apps from Google Play Store from my Chinese Axon 7.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to solve it?
Having the same issue with the new 8.0 test release
Hi all, same here, have an a2017 and I live in Italy.
I read somewhere on the web that google and the Chinese government are discussing about company policy. Perhaps it is a new urban legend, but I still have the problem.
What about from you ?
May be its because of test version. I faced similar issue when upgrading from marshmallow to nougat.
I manually upgraded the play services , even then I am getting the same error and its showing as uncertified device.
Can't connect my account to any apps like YouTube ,Maps etc its giving network error.

Everything could be possible, but I didn't any beta test from official Google play store. I got problem yesterday.
The strange thing that Calendar, Chrome, Translate, Gmail are working smoothly.
Same issue
Since yesterday afternoon I've the same problem, tried everything I fund on the internet, no success.
I'm pretty new to Android systems, so don't know what to do further.
Probably I get some help here.
Thanks in advance.
i also experience this. this happened about 2-3 days already. i think this started during the release of oreo. i'm still on 7.1.1 b13 though.
Guys it seems others are experiencing the same issue especially those with Chinese phones it's a global issue.

Same here Chinese version, i suggest to wait rather than start installing & un-installing things... alternatively impotent Apps can be updated with side load.
Same problem 404 error. Wait and see...
Anyone tried Yalp? Or the material design fork?
Hi
found an article today, that there are problems with certifications, but mine shows me it's certified.
I also have an old Samsung S3 with a different google account. This works pretty good on google play.
Than I made a cross change of the accounts. S3 still worked, Axon 7 not.
same here, error code 404. I've phoned UK Google play support tonight to alert them.
I was able to update 1 app today .... They other still error 404 ...

Exactly same here. Some apps can be downloaded or updated but others give you error.
Maybe something is changing, I got google synthesis voice right now and no the other..
All my apps are up to date now but i still can't download some new app ...
Same here can confirm some Apps does update and some don't.
one more update, all of my applications are now updated, the store keeps on failing and retrying (automatically) but at the end applications are updated.
is it annoying to the eye, and i assume all of the failed installations cost data but at the end the issue seems to be resolving itself slowly.
same here, yesterday some updated some not. today all have worked first time. just tried banggood update and it failed

How to install Google Play Service to download apps like Gmail, Facebook, Whatsapp...

Hello everyone,
I just purchased a new brand Samsung M30s with its incredible 6Go RAM and 6000mA battery but the problem is that it comes without Google Play Services : no PlayStore, no Chrome, no Gmail :crying: ... and a lot of chinese application which I can't understand. I know that this version is chinese and I already have purchased it from AliExpress from China but now I'm searching for a way to install all the Google Store Apps because actually I'm living in France and not in China.
So I'm asking you for solutions if there's other who had the same issue like me
Thank you in advance.
You can download the APK from the internet and manually install it. I got mine from apkmirror. Search "play store". It seams to work fine for me but let me know if there is any issue.
