Max 3: unfinished product

Ansileran · 10-08-2019, 04:08 AM

I'm going on a rant here, but I'm really fed up with Onyx at this point.
I wish I had seen the thread about the Play Store problems before buying this unfinished product. Great job Onyx if you're trying to kill the brand!
Bought the Max 3 as a grouped gift for a birthday, guess what: nothing works (no play store = can't download the apps needed). Not only is the b-day person extremely disappointed and the b-day somewhat ruined, but I'm the untrustworthy one having spent the collected money on an unusable device.
Saying that it might work after a day might cut it for a free test product, but not a $800+ device!
I thought this would be an improvement over the Max Carta that I have (stuck with 4.0, thank you so much Onyx for your lack of support), but at least the Play Store works!

You need to add the GSF id of your device to your Google account and then wait for a couple hours.

If Google still rejects, then update the Google Play store by downloading a newer APK https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-apk-download/
