[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] LynxAirOfficial:
Hi, I'm Lynxair. Nice to be here.

I'm a user of the Red Magic 5g. I bought it recently and I really like it a lot. I got it with version 4.09 and it barely has any bugs.

But I have a big question that I would appreciate very much if you could clarify it for me please.

I understand that the batteries degrade with every charge and that it's not good to play while it's charging either; plus it's very difficult to replace them... Are we looking at a terminal with a short life?

I think a solution would be to put a smart charge (Lenovo style).

That is, charge only up to 60% while playing. That way you could avoid problems, at least some of them.

I have seen that mobiles like the Blackshark 3 have a dual battery system that supposedly gives them more durability.

This topic seems important to me, why is a mobile phone useful without its battery?

And more so if it is a mobile made to play.

What's the best way to contact support? I emailed a few days ago and have heard nothing yet.

How much does the jig cost to buy?
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
Thank you for the latest v.3.13 update - the ability to set a custom launcher has made a huge difference. The June security update is also great to see. Keep up the good work!

There are a few minor bugs that need some attention:

1. Using the Recents menu to clear all tasks will return you to the default Nubia launcher - you need to press the home button again to return you to your chosen launcher. It should just return you to your chosen launcher by default.

2. No app pinning option available.

3. Being able to set a dynamic wallpaper for the lock screen would be welcome.

4. It would be nice if the navigation buttons would auto-hide with a swipe up action to reveal them. It seems to work with some apps but not all. (hopefully Google will allow gesture navigation in alternate launchers soon).

5. ARCore support - surprising a gaming phone doesn't have this.

Finally, I saw that ”App cloning" is searchable in the options but not available - I hope we'll see this in a future update.

Wow. I'm on V4.09 but I guess you have CH version? I can't wait fo custom launcher update.

It's not Chinese it's non-eu meaning us and others.

The eu version is also updated. Search for new versions on different places
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] TheAmazingAxel:
So I can manually update it if I find new update to download? If so where?

I refreshed for update in System Update and nothing happens.

Have NX659J_ENCommon_V4.09

Probably some manual zip download links are available in facebook groups. Not sure. System update still doesn't have it

but it looks like the new links have been removed (don't see any reason).

The files are still available though if you edit the OP links and set v3.13 for NA and v4.11 for EU (I believe).

HDMI Bug

Guys i tried to stream with the red magic 5g but i noticed that it multi touches when i connect it with an hdmi cable to the pc.. i cannot play properly because it randomly has multi touches and it disrupts my gaming.. do any of you fellow streamers/users notice this bug as well?

Speaker Issues

In my global ROM Ver 3.1.1, the left and right sides of the built-in speaker are still intact when the screen is rotated. It does not switch

Are there any improvements in ROM in China or Europe?

I don't understand why this has been crossed. I have an up-to-date device with flashed OTA, and unlocking bootloader still breaks fingerprint sensor.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] viper98:
From what I can tell it was crossed out because it's not a phone issue. It seems to be something that affects all Chinese phones running Android 10

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] NUBIYAY:
I've used the 5G in Europe now since release and these are my problems:

- the countdown suddenly ends if you just lock your device or remove clock from multitasking

- I see no way to disable the countdown time popup on screen while being in a different app

- At some point the japanese keyboard does not work anymore, it types weird letters only. I don't know why? Maybe after doing updates on play store? Fix is to restart the phone.

- There is no zoom in 64MP so every time I want to zoom I have to change the resolution which costs a lot of time

- Still no EU Plug 55W Charger available anywhere

- It's hard to see the current date in the calendar app when you're switching months or years or even days

- There is no NFC shortcut in the dropdown menu

There are more problems but will edit this post when I experience them again.

I can live with it, i only care about gaming!

so far i hadn't had any problems... i use it only for gaming, as i don't like bulky phones when going out from home..

for gaming purposes it's superb.. i play with headset so i dont hear the loud fan screaming when it's getting hotter.. =) i wish the fan could be limited so it's not screaming like a drill

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

on my europe version it doesn't either.. but it doesnt bother me.. since the phone is quite directional (where the triggers are, it should be the top side)

---------- Post added at 01:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

when i use other chargers (those cheap multi port aliexpress one) it does multitouches, like random press on screen. . so i decided to use the original one.

But i dont even use my charger when my phone is plugged in w/ the hdmi cable.. do you think when i get the dock accessory and i will plug it on the dock the multitouch bug would be removed? its really frustrating that i cannot use this to stream..
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikedot:
I really hope there is some way to restore the fingerprint scanner function, since I tried to upgrade my smartphone to use the "Black Magic 5G" Beta ROM to make it more stable, and I ended up breaking the FP scanner in the process.

Also seems like Nubia has no intention of even letting me RMA the phone since I contacted them almost a week ago and they gave me a bogus response today and just closed my support ticket. What the fug? :eek:
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] viper98:
I'm stuck with a broken fp scanner too

I was willing to buy the Jig that Jerry mentioned earlier to fix it, but they say they can't help me because I didn't buy from them directly

returning redmagic 5g

i purchased the redmagic 5g hoping at least the basics in the software.

now i am returnig this device. Most of the Bugs are already listed in the list. Some of them are such basic functions that a normal person cannot even think about the situation that there could be a device with this hardware and without these functions, like face unlock, like changing the launcher, like chaning the caller app and and and.

Here is my list of BUGS about the software department:

1 - To sell a redmagic 5g with this great nonsense software is as like as making a brand new car like a porsche carrera GT without touchless opening the car. every time you have to use a physical key.

2 - a greater nonsense and lack of common sense i found nowhere. Even psychiatric clinics are treating their patients BUT the software department of Nubia Redmagic is doing all this openly and are not being sentenced.

3 - Even emails i wrote them are answered in the manner that i could through my laptop out of window. Like you ask them a question of mathmatics and they answer you biology.

4 - i really want to know the mental damage name of this common disease in nubia software department. can we cure this?

5 - Even a neurosurgeon will have great difficulties to find any brain in their skulls. but may be he could make burhole and pump some fresh air in the skull, it could help.

6 - God cannot bless them. The damage is greater than the power of God.

7 - there was great potential in this device to beat up all other smartphones. just the software department was not smart enough to do anything. may be they got diarrhea and their smartness went out of them.

i this sense, i say bye bye forever to nubia and zte. :o :o :o :o :o
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] viper98:
To be fair, your complaints are things a normal person wouldn't care about.

99% of phone users will never change a launcher or dialer and the vast majority will not use fsce unlock

Regardless, those are ALL things that you CAN do on the phone now.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] raumyasarkar:
Where are you seeing actual complaints? I can only see someone ranting for nothing [emoji848] oh yeah those 3 points within the fine lines?? Well face unlock, and launcher issue is fixed already and caller app ও have no idea. Never felt like that had to be changed.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Mikedot:
Not sure why I was quoted in that there, but I am not really complaining about the problems that I ended up with due to my lack of experience in tinkering with android devices. That's my fault.

But I will complain about the lack of support from Nubia, which seems to be almost non-existent. I am perfectly fine with sending my phone back for repairs, but the lack of transparent communication with them in order to get a simple RMA process going is baffling.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] sheeda420:
Read before writing nosense!!

This device has a great hardware and specs but this thread is meant to underline the software issues. so if somebody is offended about mentioning the bull**** work of the nubia software-department then let me say : Have a nice day.

In global ROM has still no face-unlock, no launcher replacing (because the nubia launcher is ****, nobody needs to change the launcher if it is at least a normal launcher) and a lot of other BUGS. The list is at first page.

So please if you are satisfied with the device then write it in the specific thread, not here. :):)
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
Please follow your own advice - it's obvious you haven't updated to the latest rom (NA v3.13 or EU v4.11) since some of your gripes have already been fixed/implemented (i.e. Face unlock and third party launcher support)...
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] TheAmazingAxel:
I see everyone saying launcher is fixed but when ever you clear recent apps it backs to default launcher and then I need to lock and unlock to get nova back.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] viper98:
That's weird

It works fine for me.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] sheeda420:
a lot of smart ppl writing their wisdom here. :o

BUT

Launcher Bug still exists

Caller-App Bug still exists

G-Pay still not working and so on and so on

it is like the list at first page. 19 Bugs but 4 are fixed. 15 remaining. the balance is disgusting.

my last words: if i had some 700 EUR just for fun i would have purchased this smartphone to put it under the toilet-seat to feed it with little brownsausages. european standard is likely a higher league for nubia. work harder.

v4.11 EU

launcher is translated into German as "Trägerrakete". :) very funny.:laugh:
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] raumyasarkar:
I am sorry for your issue, but if you are using 3rd party launcher. Then you have to disable gesture navigation. As windows 10 does not support gesture in 3rd party app. So disabling gesture may fix your issue.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
Yep, that's still an issue, but we're getting there.

After using the Recents, it will return you to the Nubia launcher, but if you've set up the home button to default to Nova (or other third party launcher) it'll return you to your chosen launcher - no need to lock/unlock, just hit the home button.

2 months 1 update

I now have 2 months with this phone and I love it. Some small issues tho. The update fixed the fingerprint sensor dramatically and added battery to the settings with a few other things. I'll list a few bugs I've encountered.

YouTube at times gets stuck with the control buttons as the video plays it won't leave the screen until I restart the app. Also it fails to resize the video to full screen at times. I've scaled a video to full size then left the app came back tried to resize it to full screen and no luck.

Gamepsace shuts down my last used app. After the update whenever I enter gamepsace and close gamepsace it also closes my last app. Example I'm using YouTube I enter gamespace after I'm done i go back to YouTube and it relaunches the app rather than pick up where I left off. It does this with any last used app and only the last used app. (Also it doesn't matter if I enter gamespace from the home screen or from an app same thing).

Lastly at times scrolling becomes jam. It tends to happen during web browsing. ( Google Chrome/ Brave Browser). It won't smooth scroll as you swipe up or down rather you have to drag your finger in taps to move up and down the page.

Usually a relaunch of the app fixes this. Would be nice if they fix it. So far tho I love the phone blazing fast charger and fast between apps.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] mhajii210:
You mentioned scrolling becomes jam. Please see my post https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1091133#c_ts1591638084 and star it so it'll bring more attention to this Chromium bug. It doesn't appear to be a RedMagic OS bug, but a Chromium bug. When it happens, you simply can do back gesture or hit any of the buttons on the 3 button nav bar (if you're using that instead of gestures) on any app and the scrolling will go back to normal. Anyone that has noticed this scrolling bug, please kindly star the reported bug. I would really appreciate it!
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Applesauce213:
? Glad I'm not the only one will do.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] mhajii210:
How often does the Chrome scrolling get messed up for you? One other thing that I recently noticed is that the display will not timeout when the Chrome scrolling goes crazy. Very annoying bug and I'm really surprised more people are not reporting it. It happens to me at least 2 to 3 times a day.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] RussST24:
I'm on 4.11.

The other issue still remaining is the AOD does not accept custom picture. It asked to be set but then just shows the default logo.

It actually hasn't happened to me anymore. What does happened now I think its my device since both chrome and Brave are having this problem.. when I go to a site that has their video player it seems to just freeze the entire browser/device. I have to go to the home screen back to browser to see the playback. Happens to me a lot in news websites or sports sites that have videos playing in their page.

Hi everyone

I'm facing a huge battery drain! Specially on stand by mode as its loses 30% or more in 6hrs!? I was wondering if thats AOD has to do with all this?

Thanks in advance
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] Applesauce213:
?? No I don't have that my battery lasts for the most part. Gaming does drain battery tho.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] viper98:
Battery drain on this phone is ridiculous

I routinely will lose 25-30% overnight without AOD
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] raumyasarkar:
I lose 1% per hour

I'm not really an enthusiast any more. Used to spend a lot of time here many years ago with my G1. But that list of software issues was not that alarming to me. I understand when something isn't working it can drive you crazy but for the most part, and maybe I just didn't understand the terminology of some things, those seem like very minor issues to me. I hope they get fixed soon. I'm installing 4.11 now just for fun. Maybe their will be 4D and Controller support for CODM. :)
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] raumyasarkar:
Controller won't be fixed, you could try one thing, make the joystick position fixed on screen with the fixed joystick option. That will solve somewhat of your issue.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] greanhouse1:
thanks for that! I'll give it a go a bit later. Its quite fun winning at CODM simply due to that hardware I am using.:D
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] raumyasarkar:
[emoji23][emoji23] I tried the controller, didn't like it, so I use touch screen and the shoulder triggers, does a good job. Get habituated with the screen, you won't even have to compensate for the Bluetooth lag.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] greanhouse1:
That's where I was when I ordered the controller. Kind of feels like I'm turning the phone into a Switch which is awesome. Would really like to have both Controllers but only if Nubia gets them working better.

That being said, I tried my PS4 controller just now and that is a hot pile of garbage. The Red Magic is way closer, just need them to push it over the finish line to be worthwhile.

Am totally left feeling like the Controller was a complete waste of money at the moment though.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] raumyasarkar:
It's actually hot pile of garbage, and it's totally software issue, but last time I asked they said probably they won't work on it, you could do two things, if you want one side controller, I would suggest using panda gamepad app and setup mapping with that and use. It does a better job than nubia gamespace. And if you want both side controller with buttons support as in hid controller device. Go for razer kishi. Other than that I do think you wasted money on the controller. I did the same though. [emoji28] Now really happy with razer kishi. But razer kishi does not support codm and pubg thanks to their bull**** logic of not supporting anything other than official controllers.

I'm on v3.13 and still can't set a different launcher as default. How did you guys manage? I can select my custom launcher but once I press home it goes back to the Nubia launcher.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] enzone17:
I feel your pain.

Believe me. I feel your pain. Every update that Red Magic 5G gets, the first thing I do is check if my third party Nova Launcher works. It really is the only feature I want enabled to make me fully aprreciate my experience on the phone. I enjoy personalizing my interface on my phone. I actually enjoy my older RedMagic 3S simply cuz I can run my third party launcher on it. And third party launchers work perfectly fine on my older 3S. But you're right, it doesn't matter if you install activity launcher, or set your defaults to a third party launcher...once you press the home button, it jumps right back to the Nubia launcher. It's not the worst launcher...but I just have my personal preferences.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S Guides, News, & Discussion] An Droid:
Search the thread(s) - instructions provided DO work and the home button WILL default to your preferred launcher - the only outstanding issue is the Recents list will dump you back into the Nubia launcher, but hitting the home button will again put you back in your preferred launcher.

https://xdaforums.com/nubia-red-magic-5g/how-to/official-redmagic-5g-rom-t4099825/page19

You can even access the settings page from Nova itself by creating an activity widget that points to "Default App Settings" (found under Settings).
