What to do if Google Play Market does not open on Meizu

This review is dedicated to a very popular and in-demand topic among owners of phones from the Chinese company Meizu - the Google Play service. At one time, Meizu refused to pre-install Google services, and therefore this caused some difficulties for users of smartphones of this brand. One of the main problematic questions regarding this service is: why might the Play Market not work on Meiza? We will also consider this issue, and in general we will touch upon the topic of Google Play regarding what the Play Market is, what is useful in it, and what is its peculiarity of working with Meizu phones.

Google Play is an online store where you can download various applications, games, programs, books, films and much more, either for free or for money. This content is available to owners of devices based on the Android operating system. Payment for content can be made in various ways: by bank cards, through telecom operators, PayPal and other services. Interestingly, at the end of 2017, the service had about 3 million applications available for download in 145 countries.

The structure of Google Play includes the following categories:

  1. "Applications"(for business, health and sports, travel, entertainment, work, photography, shopping and other purposes).
  2. "Games"(puzzles, arcade, action, gambling, sports and others).
  3. Chapter "Movies and television shows"(it contains films of various genres and programs in HD format, all of which can be purchased and watched online).
  4. Chapter "Music"(contains compositions of various genres and artists, available for download both for money and for free).
  5. Chapter "Books"(represented by millions of e-books in paid and free access).
  6. Chapter "Press"(includes electronic versions of magazines, newspapers and news feeds from around the world).

Unfortunately, the Google Play service may not work correctly for owners of Meizu phones, in particular after the Flyme update. We will look at this problem below.

Google Play won't open

If the Play Market on Meizu does not open, you can resort to one simple solution to this problem. All devices from the Meizu brand are equipped by default with the proprietary App Center application (Chinese online content store) or Hot Apps (Chinese analogue of the Play Store). You need to open one of these applications and type “Google Installer” in its search (in Hot Apps the search bar is either on the main page or in the section "More"). Having found Google Installer, you need to download and install it on your phone.

After the corresponding icon is created on the screen, you need to open it and select the item in the application "Unistall". After removing Google services, click the button "A Key To Install", after which all applications will be reinstalled. After the installation is complete, you can use the Play Market again by re-activating it. These steps will help get rid of the problem when the Play Market does not open in Meiza.

Applications do not load on Google Play or display an error

Meizu users may experience that applications from Google Play simply do not download. And again the question arises: why doesn’t Play Market work on Meizu? If the above method did not help, then let's turn to another. First you need to create a second Google account: go to "Settings" -"Accounts" -“Add account” -« Google" and carry out activation. After that, open the Play Market menu and connect through a new account. You need to download any file (program, game, widget, etc.), and then switch to your previous account.

This “reboot” of accounts allows you to resume the process of downloading applications. This method is suitable for most models, including Meizu M3. Note that there is an even more radical method - resetting the settings to factory settings, however, it is worth keeping in mind that with this method all the user’s personal data will be lost, and all applications that are installed on the device will be deleted. After any of these procedures, the OS again sees the Play Market on Meizu and supports its correct operation.

Installing Google Play

If the Play Market is not installed on the Meizu M3 Note by downloading from the Internet, then it is better to turn to a simpler and more proven option. You need to install using a proprietary installer from Meizu - Google Installer. The advantage of this method is that the latest version of Google Play will be installed on the phone. This option is only suitable for devices purchased from the company's official representative offices.

Using Hot Apps, or Best

You can download and install Google Play using the Hot Apps, or Best, application. For this:

  1. Go to Meizu on your desktop and find the shortcut "The best" or "Hot Apps" and click on it.
  2. In the installation applications that open, find "Google Installer"(or "Google Apps Installer").
  3. Select this item, run it and make sure that everything downloads correctly.
  4. After downloading, reboot your device.
  5. After the reboot, icons of all Google services will appear on the main screen, including the Play Market.
