Hi,
Since about 4 days my android device (legend with customized cyanogenmod nightly 176) seems to have problems accessing some google services. I'm suspecting the Great Firewall (I'm in China) but I updated some apps and my ROM more or less at the time things stopped working.(Ironically also October 1 is PRC's anniversary, so a possible reason to be more strict with censorship.)
What stopped working:
- latitude position update
- market (but push install initiated from pc web browser works)
- account sync unstable (picasa didn't work anyway in recent months though)
All these work when using proxy (in Europe) with SSHTunnel (socks5), but since I'm able to connect to gmail, picasa, etc. by pc (though sometimes also temporary issues), I'm wondering whether something was changed in the protocol (google account authentication?) which might have caused this.
Could anyone in China confirm or clarify?
TIA!

99% it's blocked by GFW. It's National holiday, you know.
I`m in China too. I bought here my Samsung Gal. 2 S and most of google apps and services don`t work. Maybe I`ll try to change the kernel and some ROM and tell you if something changes.
Thanks for the replies.
My main point is that the accessability seems to have changed since a few days (interestingly actually a bit later than Oct 1st AFAIR), I know that the "google experience" has since a long time been quite bad anyway.
It would be interesting to know whether we'll get back to "normal" now after the golden week?
Not with the watch/band itself, but trying to pair it with my current smartphone.
I'm currently using an Elephone P8000 phone. I'm quite happy with it, but now I'm starting to hate it a bit. Last week I received a brand new Huawei Honor Band Zero, a new entry level smartwatch/sports band from the Chinese manufacturer.
The watch pairs in seconds with my prior smartphone, a Xiaomi Redmi 1s, and thanks to that I know it is working, but not with the phone I need it to. First I thought that maybe Huawei Wear, the app used to get data from the watch and set it up lacked support for it, since it's quite new, but today I have recieved an update from Google Play Store and, even if the app added a lot more functionality to users of Honor Band Zero, it's still not working with my P8000.
In fact, I was able to pair them once last week, after trying almost 50 times within a 48 hr. period. But then, the first time I got too far from the phone while wearing the watch, it lost connection and I haven't been able to pair them again.
I've tried everything: latest firmware from Elephone, apps which (falsely) claim to improve Bluetooth, adding the watch as a Smart Lock trusted device, etc. and nothing works. I can pair with the Redmi 1s every time I try, but it always fails with the P8000.
I've noticed that when I turn BT on the Redmi 1s and it pairs with the watch, I can see the watch exposes an input device profile, but that doesn't ever appear on the P8000, so I guess that should give me a clue, but in fact I'm clueless right now. And I like the damn watch and don't want to return it.
Any ideas?
Have you tried wiping the cache/data in the Bluetooth app on the phone... Go to app manager, Bluetooth and wipe. This worked for me with my Sony smartband talk. Just an idea

Yes, I also tried that, and I uninstalled and installed the huawei app too. Nothing helps. Now I'm going to flash the latest phone firmware and check again. Fingers crossed.
Did you tried other roms? I have one p8000 running eragon rom.. I just dont have that device to test on it

I have already tried Eragon 5.5, 5.6 and 5.8. Now I'm on latest stock rom from 11/05, and it doesn't work with any of them. I haven't tried the FlyMe rom yet, since I didn't want to loose the fingerprint sensor functionality.
Still no luck. I've updated Huawei Wear app to the latest version, as well as phone firmware, and nothing seems to work. As I previously said, about two or three weeksago I managed to pair the phone and watch once, but I'm afraid I was just extremely lucky, since that hasn't ever happened again.
Compatability:
It supports Android 4.4.4 / iOS 7.0 or above system. how about your phone?

The phone runs on Android 5.1.1 with Bluetooth 4.0, so it should be supported. And, in fact, it did work once, but just that one and only time.

maybe there are two methods you can try,
1. Reset the watch. If you use it to connect with other phones, reset maybe a nice method to solve this problem.
2. Firmware Upgrade. Huawei should have offer the Firmware.

1. I've already tried resetting the watch several times, both soft and hard reset, and every time it will connect flawlessly with the Xiaomi phone, but not with Elephone P8000.
2. I check everyday for firmware updates when I pair it with the Xiaomi Redmi 1s, since the Huawei Wear app can do it, but there hasn't been any update yet.
Thanks for the suggestions. Now I can only wait for a solution from Elephone or Huawei. I've written to both companies support service email addresses, but I haven't received any answer yet, which is quite frustrating.

yeah. Smart watches get troubles quite a lot.
Mission complete. I can't blame the smartphone this time, but the watch. Yesterday I paired it with my old phone and a firmware update for the watch popped up. Among other things I could see in the changelog that they claimed they had improved the connection algorithm in order to be able to connect to more devices. I applied the update and now the watch and the Elephone P8000 are working together without trouble, and every time I get far from the phone and the watch looses connection, it connects automatically the next time they get close eough.
Hi just to ask i can connect the Honor Band Zero with my phone, it works well very well.
But i can't make it Trusted Device in Smart Unlock. Any idea?
it shows other devices but not this watch in the setting menu.
Device Info:
Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 LTE (S7275R) - CyanogenMod 13
Me 2 I have huawei p7 and honor band zero. Why can't I use smart unlock with my phone? Find it ridiculous!

I am rooted, on Experience ROM, and I have been trying to connect to my MI Band, but it is not detecting on my phone using the MI Fit app. Is anyone else facing similar issues? I tried unpairing from my previous device(OP2), but it doesn't help. I can pair back fine with my OP2, but OP5 is refusing to detect the band completely.

Hi
Anybody help me with the android auto features .. installed the app and it's not working with my car. I have tried another cable but same issue.. shows the android auto in car screen for just 3 seconds and goes off. It's working with other mobiles.
No body have the issue! or no body tried it??
Unfortunately , i can't help you as i don't have any way of testing Android Auto , sorry.
You can post the problem in the official miui forum, in the Mi Note 2 section.
Also , what version are you using right now ?
I searched your problem to see if it's the phone or other circumstances.
It can be because of your cable.
What cable are you using? The original one?

Thanks for your efforts. I have tried original cable and another one purchased locally. but both are not working. My ROM is MIUI 9 8.2.1 beta. My phone has detected in my car as using android auto just for 4 secs and closes. I can use other functions like calling and music playing without any problem.

Did you tried the stable rom? Maybe it's a bug in the beta with android auto. Also , are you using china or global rom because i can report it if it's on the global one.

Yeah , i know there is difference in the reception between global and china. You can't really do something about it...
Now the signal problem is killing me.. No range at all in the place where i got signals while using chinese ROM.. Is there any mod to get ride of this issue in global ROM
Got solution... Now changed back to Chinese Dev version.. and restored the gapps using the following link..

Now android auto is working fine.. signal problem solved.
I've had similar issues with my mi4. Since this is a Chinese phone and China and google don't get along, what I did was give permission to everything in Google play services and turned off battery saver for everything google related and for apps I use in Android Auto and the reboot both phone and car system.
Before that I had Android auto crash and my car trying to connect to no avail. Now everything works fine.

Hi
I bought a huawei band 2 and have and issue with stabilizng the connetcion. It doesn't connect to original app at all and even if used third party and paired it after 5000 trials it does not stay connected. It dispaires itself and does not repair. More 5000 trials are needed to establish temporary connection.
I used this band with nexus 5 without an issue. I am sure that's the problem with this huawei p8lite soft. Information about soft version in an attachment.
Is there any way to fix this permanently ? Maybe some custom software? I need to mention that if I had to change to CWF(like i do with my phones), everything needs to be working smooth, because it's phone of my GirlFriend. I heard of many issues connected with upgrading soft of this phone like GPS or camera disablity.
