Preliminary preparation
Sometimes synchronization of Meizu with a PC via a USB cable does not occur due to the fact that the operating system ( in particular Windows 8 and 10 ) is trying to find and install drivers for the smartphone. But, as a rule, problems arise the first time you connect. The installation process fails, and in the device manager of the computer, in the “portable devices” item, the smartphone is displayed, but with an exclamation mark .
Installing Meizu drivers for PC manually (for Windows 8 and below)
If automatic driver installation is unsuccessful, you can do everything manually. To install, do the following:
- Right-click on the Windows icon in the lower left corner. Click on “Control Panel”.
- Open "Device Manager". We are looking for our phone.
- Right-click on the smartphone device. A context menu appears where you need to select “ Update drivers...”.
- In the window that opens, click on the option “Search for drivers on this computer”, then “Select a driver from the list of already installed ones”.
- A window will appear with a list of equipment; you must select “USB Devices”.
- Next, all drivers for USB devices will be displayed. We select MPT USB devices and click the button below to continue.
- The driver installation process has begun. All that remains is to wait for the successful completion of the procedure.
Effect of the virus
Google play does not start for a long time or simply turns off or does not respond due to the fact that a virus has penetrated the OS. This situation is unusual in that the reason lies in the operating files. You can check the system through an antivirus installed on the device or connected to a computer. In the first case, the result may be zero, because not every mobile application is capable of accurately recognizing malicious files.
A system rollback or professional registry cleaning, which includes several steps and is performed by programmers in the field of mobile technology, can help deal with the virus. It is possible that some files will be lost as a result of treatment. Then they will have to be reinstalled from the company’s standard mobile store, after which you will need to register a Google account (in the application itself or through the phone settings).
Meizu does not see the computer
The first thing you need to do is rule out damage to the components that are responsible for connecting the equipment, and only then treat the smartphone itself.
- We check the USB cable for mechanical damage; it may be broken, although this may not be visible.
- In addition, it is extremely important to configure your smartphone correctly. The “charge only” connection mode will mean that the device will not appear on the computer. We change the mode to “media transfer”, then all folders and files will appear.
- If everything is configured correctly, try changing the cord; even if charging from it is stable, it may simply not be suitable for the connection.
If these tips turned out to be useless, we try to find the reason in the desktop; in total, we can highlight two main points.
Solving store problems
If after following the above instructions you encounter problems with the Play Store, try first creating a new account and using it to log into the store.
Your old account may have been blocked.
A few more ways to troubleshoot:
- To resolve errors in the Download Manager service, open it in the phone settings window and erase the data. Then restart your phone and try installing the Play Store again;
- Remove the Google services already available on your smartphone, then restart the phone and install the software again;
- Reset your smartphone to factory settings (Settings-Memory-Reset-Return to factory settings).
Installation methods for Play Market on Meiza
In 2021, Meizu abandoned the pre-installation of Google Services, which is why users began to wonder how to install the Play Market on a Meizu phone. There are two options for doing this: using the built-in Google Services installer, as it is also called, the application’s APK file.
If you have a Meizu M3 Note, also called Meizu 5, then you have the option to install Google Play services like this:
- Find the “Best” application in the cinema, in other words “Hot Apps”.
- A list of programs will open, where you need to find Google Services and click the “Install” button.
To download Google Play Market on Meizu, you need to be connected to the Internet. The type of connection does not matter: you will like 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi more. The application installs quite quickly, and it’s lightweight, so even using the mobile web it won’t take up a lot of traffic. If the application is installed, a window will appear in the cinematograph of the Meizu M3 Note, or another model, asking you to reboot.
Some Meizu users have problems using the Google Services installer, so for their production the question of how to install Google Play implies the presence of another option. It consists in the process of using the APK file of the application, which is downloaded to the computer, transferred to the phone’s memory, after which the Services are installed.
This way you will install the Play Market manually, so that media failures in the built-in installer will not interfere. After installing the program, the installer will of course be deleted from the phone’s memory.
Fixing problems with the OS
Method 1: go to Meizu settings by tapping on the gear icon. In the menu items we find “restore and reset” - “reset settings”.
Method 2: Turn off the phone and hold down the physical power and volume + buttons at the same time. Hold them in this position for fifteen seconds until the image appears on the display. Release the keys and wait for the reboot, that's all.
One of the above methods will definitely help solve the connection problem, and if not, order diagnostics of the device at a service center.
Not every day, but quite often a user needs to synchronize a smartphone with a computer. Typically, such a connection between a mobile device and its “big brother” is needed to transfer different files, photos and videos, freeing up memory on the phone. The opposite situation also happens - you need to download a movie or documents from your laptop or PC to your smartphone so that you have something to do on the road. However, in order to make an exchange, you need to properly connect the gadget to the computer. We’ll talk about this below. And as an example, let’s take the most popular models of meizu mobile phones - m3, m5s, m6, pro 6, pro 7, pro 7 plus, etc.
Reasons why the video does not play
The “symptoms” of this problem vary. Sometimes the application displays an error message, such as “An error occurred. Repeat”, and in other cases it simply crashes or does not even try to start. The problem can occur even when starting up a completely new device for the first time. At the same time, the Meizu model is not important - similar things were observed on the M3, M5, M6 laptop and others.
There are many reasons for this:
- No network connection. The most common situation is that the user forgets to turn on Wi-Fi or mobile network and tries to watch videos. But there are no problems here - just connect to the Internet and everything will work.
- Google services are not installed on the phone. This happens when you buy a Chinese version of a smartphone. In China itself, there is no need for these services - the population successfully uses local analogues of applications. For the rest of the world, Meizu releases global versions of phones, where all Google software is in place. But models produced for China also successfully fall into the hands of our compatriots, which is where such troubles arise.
- Google services are blocked on uncertified devices.
- Failure in the YouTube application or Google services.
- Account problems
- Problems with the operating system.
- Outdated firmware on the smartphone.
Instructions for connecting Maze to a computer
Synchronizing a smartphone with a PC is one of the simplest operations. Having done it once, the next time you will not encounter any difficulties:
- We take the cable and connect the smartphone to the PC using two connectors – USB and micro USB. If possible, we use the cord that came with the phone. If the cable is not “native”, then there is a high risk that the connection will not be established. At least on m3s mini and m6 note, users constantly encounter this problem. It seems that other models are no exception.
- Then on the smartphone, move the status bar down (top status bar) and tap on “Media device” (MTP) or “USB transfer”. Which option you will have depends on the firmware.
- Now we install software on the PC to synchronize two devices. Usually the system itself offers to do this, so all you have to do is click “OK” or “Install”. Otherwise, you will have to find and download them on the Internet yourself.
- Finally, open Explorer on your laptop or computer and find the smartphone folder. Data is transferred from the phone to the PC, or vice versa, in the same way as if you connected a regular flash drive.
Common errors and their solutions
Despite how easy it is to install the Play Market, users often encounter problems: the program does not install, does not work after installation, and so on. There are a number of simple steps that allow you to bypass and solve these annoying errors.
First of all, you need to restart your phone and repeat the installation operation. It is quite possible that the device has been working for a long time and its clogged RAM does not allow the program installation service to work correctly. Rebooting will solve this problem.
If downloading from the Meizu store does not occur or takes forever, you need to try connecting to a Wi-Fi network. Some smartphones refuse to download large files through the operator's Internet traffic, or maybe there is simply poor communication coverage.
Another possibility is the cluttered Downloads app. If the data storage of this service is full, then it is possible that it is simply impossible to upload new information. Cleaning out the storage will help correct the situation.
- Open the smartphone settings and go to the “Applications” applet. In settings, open the “All applications” tab
- In the list of programs we find “Downloads” (“Download Manager”/Downloader), open the tab. Tap on the “Downloads” applet
- On the application information page, click the “Clear” button (“Erase data”) and confirm the deletion of data. We delete temporary data, and then repeat the Play Market installation procedure
- Reboot your smartphone and try again to install the Play Market.
Installing Google services on Meizu devices is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. You just need to find the software package and run its installation. And if various problems arise, they can be solved quite quickly by rebooting the smartphone or resetting temporary data.
All about repairing and setting up smartphones on Android and iOS
Current topic of the day:
Recently, problems with Google Play Market in Meizu smartphones have become more frequent. As a rule, application malfunctions occur after updating and updating the OS. Let's look at two of the most popular Google Play problems and their solutions.
Meizu does not see the computer: what to do and what to do?
And so you do everything as described above, but for some reason you can’t connect the meise to your computer or laptop. The gadget is simply not detected on the PC, or it is charging, but there is no way to download the file. There are many reasons for such a malfunction. It is sometimes difficult to identify them. Therefore, for convenience, we present an algorithm of actions, following which you can set up a connection between your smartphone and computer:
- First of all, check the functionality of the cable through which you connected both devices. If the cord is old, severely bent or broken, then it needs to be replaced.
- Connect the cable to a different port on your computer. If this is a system unit, then it is better to choose connectors located on the rear panel (directly on the motherboard) for connection.
- Did not help? In this case, check the smartphone settings. Perhaps the “charging only” connection mode is selected (this happened to me and my friends on Meiza M2, M5 and M6), in which the device will not be displayed on the computer. In this case, we simply change the mode to “media transfer”, and after a couple of minutes we see all the folders and files on the monitor.
- If the meiza still does not connect to the computer, then most likely the reason is outdated or “crashed” software. This means you need to download the driver. To do this, after connecting your meizu phone to your computer, go to “Device Manager” on your PC and find your device in the list that opens. Right-click on it and select “Update Driver”. Then try connecting your smartphone to your computer again.
- In cases where the steps described above did not help, you can resort to restoring and resetting the settings on the phone itself. Just keep in mind that this is a radical way to solve the problem, because after this procedure the information from the gadget will be deleted.
