Help with item bag being full. I purchased two bags.

To manage a full item bag in Pokémon GO, you can either purchase additional bag space through the in-game shop or transfer unnecessary items, such as Potions or Revives, to free up space. You can also use items to reduce the number of held items, like using berries for catching Pokémon. Check your bag regularly to manage your inventory effectively.

Am using HUAWEI y9a It does not support Google Play services and I want to log in using a Google Play account

While Huawei Y9a doesn't support Google Play Services due to Huawei's restrictions, you can still play Pokemon GO. You may try logging in using your Facebook or Niantic Kids account instead, which are alternate methods to play Pokemon GO without needing Google Play Services. Please note that you'd need to have your game account linked to either of these aforementioned services. If you previously only linked to Google, you might need to log into Pokemon GO on a device that supports Google Play Services first, and link an additional login method before playing on your current device.

This account has failed to authenticate

The "Failed to Authenticate" error usually indicates that Pokemon Go is having trouble connecting with the server. This can often be fixed by checking your internet connection and ensuring you have strong signal or Wi-Fi. Try restarting the game or your device. If you're logging in using a Pokemon Trainer Club account, there might be issues with the PTC servers. A Google Account is generally more reliable for logging in. Ensure the game is updated to the latest version. If all of these solutions fail, you may need to reinstall the app. But remember, be sure to back up your data before doing this.
