I had the same issue with my M2 and my husbands M3 phones. I downloaded the GMS installer from Hot Apps. This worked, giving access to the Play Store. Our Maps & Google Calendars worked fine. However on my husbands phone I have to repeat the process a few times since the Flyme update. He can't be bothered, just wants his phone to work. He is not impressed and won't use a Meizu again.

 

Does seem to have been a stupid idea from Meizu.

 

Thanx for that.  Will try it on her phone when I get home tonite.  This has put me off Meizu for ever.  Will go back to know brands with a good track record..
