[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
This concerning, beta program ends on 28th, what happens if you don't install the 8.0.0.0.124 firmware update before then, would it be available to update later?

Are meant to do anything prior to 28 March 2024 when testing program ends?

For those whose already confirm the firmware update and gPay stopped, can this be fed bach to Honor beta test program please.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
i had lodged my feedback through the beta program and also feedback to the CN Honor Customer Service.

i supposed on 28 Mar, the official MOS 8.0 will be released.
[Honor Magic V2] ebrahim.popat:
The new update is awesome.
[Honor Magic V2] coolmike77:
What is awesome? I dod not even find a difference...
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
there is the new smart capsule.
[Honor Magic V2] coolmike77:
and which app does support this? So far I have not seen it...
[Honor Magic V2] Thealshear:
It works for the clock app and YouTube so far.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
the new update also come with forced multi window application.

settings > accessibility >> multi window
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
I just received 7.2.0.138 on global version.
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
my gpay was working and now its saying my phone is not certified in the google play store see if that is the same with you
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
download safety net checker, and you will see cts profile match failed.

probably need to wait till 28 Mar for the official download.
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
thank you i downloaded that safty net checker and the cts profile match is failed
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Does anyone have Wi-Fi Calling feature available on your V2 Chinese or Global Rom?

Whilst Chinese Rom with latest Beta firmware update and gPay not working, has anyone tried Huawei card wallet with Curve NFC contactless payment successfully enabled, as an alternative?
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
Not seeing the option on my global version, but not sure where it would be.
[Honor Magic V2] Axelman8:
Not sure if it works, but its available on the global
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
Where do you find that setting?
[Honor Magic V2] Axelman8:
In the mobile setting menu

Settings->mobile network->mobile data
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
hmm, not there for me...........in Mobile data settings, it lists SIM1 and SIM2 information, not wifi calling.
[Honor Magic V2] bdoviack:
The the WiFi calling setting depends on your mobile provider. I'm on AT&T in the US and also don't have that feature. As far as AT&T goes, the ROM must be certified by AT&T to use their WiFi calling features. Everything else works though.
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
oh, that makes sense.....................and I'm on T-Mobile.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
Chinese set do not have esim and VOWIFI, whereas the global set has.

GPay is working on official CN ROM, but not most of the beta CN ROM.
[Honor Magic V2] lucboucim:
On the V2 Global, should I leave Honor Push setting activated or should I disable it? My notifications seem to be delayed
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
guys, CTS profile match is passed now.

GPay should be able to be used. Its 11pm here, i cant test it.
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Please LET us know if it works for you and if you've had to do anything to get it to work, thanks.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
after i did the safety net check and see that the cts profile match had passed, i opened up GPay and see the warning message that the phone did not pass the requirement.

but after i restart my phone, the message did not appear again.

i tried using an app to make payment using GPay, it allows me to make the payment.

i assume that GPay is now working, though I need to try making GPay payment with NFC.
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
So I decided to take the plunge and update my V2 with the last Magic OS8 firmware update, knowing the question surrounding gPay or more precise NFC contactless payment.

I did a clearing of cache first on gPay & google play before the update and as usual, restarted my V2 after installation completed.

Happy to inform you gPay is working just fine with contactless payment. Still early days but looking ok atm.
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
Anyone unhappy with Global ROM version due to missing Magic OS v8?

Although I like the Chinese ROM I am looking for someone who would like to swap the global version against the Chinese rom version.

I need VoWifi which unfortunately is not offered by the Chinese version.

If interested, I would be willing to pay for the swap a certain amount as well.

Although I hoped that the community would find a way to "convert" the rom, it seems that I am stuck here and in my place reception by mobile is so bad that I really am looking for a VoWifi solution.
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Don't know if this is worth considering but a find I'm currently exploring https://www.reddit.com/r/Honor/s/ZKrgmgM70F

Saw the actual Wi-Fi or WLAN Calling feature and enabled but haven't managed to successfully create short cut or get VoWifi working yet
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Chinese Rom version NOT Global Rom. Can't get it to work after enabling the feature
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
On Chinese rom it only shows Activity Launcher settings itself, but not from other applications although "read installed applications list" is permitted.

So it does not really help .... I suppose I would need the launcher apk file and the phone apk file from the global rom to install them on the Chinese rom as I believe this functionality is not included in those apks on the Chinese rom version.
[Honor Magic V2] Hola65:
After updating the new software, my Gpay still not working. Clear Gpay, playstore and Google wallet cache and restart phone.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
hey, thats a good find.

can you also try shimizu and pixel ims method to activate the software part?

i tried enabling VOWIFI using the below method,

Enable VoLTE/VoWiFi in unsupported countries without root (requires Shizuku)

Hi all, Bellow you can find some info on how to attempt to enable VoLTE in unsupported countries (tested in Romania, Digi carrier) using Shizuku and Pixel IMS app for it. This assumes that you have ADB and drivers properly setup beforehand. 1...

xdaforums.com

however, the WLAN call menu did not appear.

maybe i will try it later when im free.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
download a safety net checker to see whether the cts profile match pass or fail.

can give some info on your phone?

cn global? ver?
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
Chinese ROM -> small patch update received today (patch02). Still 8.0.124 as base ROM.

Could not find any real differences though.
[Honor Magic V2] Hola65:
My is a China rom with GMS.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:

[Honor Magic V2] Hola65:
Have you tried to make a payment using Gpay via contactless payment?
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
yes, i tried it and its working. i just made a payment earlier.

you are using the latest version as I am. it is weird that your gpay is not working.

can do a check with safety net?
[Honor Magic V2] Hola65:

[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
i am the same i got the patch but still gpay not working i am certified now after the patch and saftynet pass on all
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
where are you guys from? maybe its regional, that the firmware isnt passed yet. justy guess.
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
am in scotland but its a chinese rom device :)
[Honor Magic V2] Hola65:
I am from Singapore. The safety net show passed on my phone but when making a contactless paymnet with Gpay, the same error of security standards not meet pop-up.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
hi fellow sgean.

@khailchain strangely, i also encountered the same thing now. i have yet to try at a store.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
surprisingly, my gpay still works.

when at the counter, i open my gpay and the security message pops up. i cancelled the message and attempted to pay via NFC, and it went through.
[Honor Magic V2] nerih82:
Just wanted to add. Have the same problem in the UAE. Tried to pay and it says phone doesn't meet security reqs.

Safteynet pass too.
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
oh my problem was trying to add cards to gpay not with spending my virgin money card doesnt seem like gpay ive contacted me bank and all about it but they cant seem to fix it i am adding a kroo card to gpay now and i think it will work so its good to have gpay working i was using before my v2 a huawei mate 30 pro so its good to have gpay again :D
[Honor Magic V2] Hola65:
Not sure what happen. Now I can add credit cards to Google wallet and make contactless payment with it. No software update.
[Honor Magic V2] BigBlue_007:
Can someone running MagicOS 8 please do a quick video of the Magic Capsule thingy? I don't care about the quality at all, I would just like to see it working. :)

TIA!
[Honor Magic V2] perfecteric:
You can check it on You tube,just search for Magic capsule
[Honor Magic V2] BigBlue_007:
There are lots of videos showing Magic Capsule, but none of them is featuring a V2. 😉
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:

this is the best demo for showing the magic capsules in 3 type of display.

Am still waiting for the OS 8.0 OTA ... have both Global and CN version ... can anyone tell me how i can force the install or do i have to be patient?
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
same here, I think we global users might not get it until the summer
[Honor Magic V2] Flavio:
How can I force apps opened from the notification drop down menu to open in full screen instead of open in a floating window?

BTW, I did that, but don't like seeing the gold flower..............so went back.

Can someone install HMS core and Huawei wallet and check if it is working and has the option for access cards?
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
did you try to enable vowifi from shizuku?

i cant find any vowifi setting from the activity launcher.
[Honor Magic V2] thklinge:
It worked for me.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
is your global or CN version?
[Honor Magic V2] thklinge:
Global. And I had to use the latest version of Pixel IMS. The one linked here somewhere didn't work.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
ok, global version comes with vowifi.

i installed activity launcher on my CN version and was not able to find any vowifi setting.

+1 no other foldables I have does this I just want it off lol
[Honor Magic V2] defpat:
Anyone experienced this before? Outer screen is still pristine. Looks like i had a hotspot burn.Is it warranty?

Update: send the phone to wondamobile and I had the repair under warranty. Phone came back yesterday and it looks like new.
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
On Honor Magic V2 until now no. But it happened on my OnePlus Open. And it should be treated as warranty as long as there are no physical outer defects ....
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Honestly, your inner screen doesn't look like burn in.. it looks like u have a damage on the top left corner which caused the screen to go haywire..
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
looks like when you close your phone, a piece of sand or foreign object got stuck in between the screen and damage it.
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
Can you wipe partition cache on this device? I know on Samsung phones, you can hold down volume up and power button to initiate it (after phone has been powered off).

Figured it out, similar.

I am from India who has imprted Honor Magic V2 Global from Wonda Mobile Hk.Please see my post#1889 above.It is anticipated that Honor will be releasing Magic OS 8.0 for Magic V2 Global phones within next month.So,with the release of Magic OS 8.0 for Magic V2 Global will the problem with GPay be solved?Or whether there is a round about way now to make payment with GPay now?I can activate GPay by adding Bank Accounts and Credit Cards.But when making payments the OTP from the banks is not being received.As this is a major head ache any one please suggest whether there is a round about way now to make payment with GPay.

Waiting with thanks.....
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
just wait for MOS 8.0 GMS.

MOS 8.0 is already released in a few countries for some models. try updating it by going to the My Honor app.
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
If u got the global version, there will not be any issues.. if u got the CN rom version, sometimes CTS profile will screw up..
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Whether we can update from My Honor App before receiving the OTA Update?
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
give it a try, as mine is CN version.
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Ok, Thank you.I will give a try.

I don't see anywhere in the Honor App that will update the OS.

bottom 1st tab, do you have that on global version??
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
The MyHonor app on my global version doesn't look like that.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
oh in that case, gotta use the update function from settings. it's the same amyway.
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
yep, still no update for OS 8
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
Hold power button. Assistant will pop up, keep holding. Then menu pops up with reboot and power off.

As far as Magic OS 8 for global phones, there is a closed beta starting April 14th (you can register on My Honor app) that will run to middle of May. Open Beta is middle of May to mid-June. And full release is middle to end of June.
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
Where in the Honor app do you register for the beta?
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thanks xxBrun0xx.The intention of my question is to know whether there is any shortcut without pressing the Power or any other buttons.
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
I have the same exact same issue, and making arrangement to get this fix, but its a know issue back in Asia
[Honor Magic V2] jamster12:
Hi. Are you able to use 5g (Jio or Airtel) in India on this phone?
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Yes I am able to use 5G.My Nano Sim is Airtel 5G.The eSim in my previous phone was Jio 5G.But this Jio 5G was not accepting by Honor V2 Global.So I ported this eSim to Airtel 5G eSim and it is working perfectly in Honor V2 Global.
[Honor Magic V2] jamster12:
Perfect, thanks so much for confirming. Was hesitating only because of the 5g compatibility issues we face here on imported devices.
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Are you from India?One thing to

not also.At present GPay is not working in the Global Version with Magic OS 7.200.It is however expected to solve this issue with the update of Magic OS 8.0 anticipated in May 2024.But other payment applications such as Phone Pe are working smoothly.
[Honor Magic V2] jamster12:
Yes and thanks for highlighting the GPay issue.

Not a big fan of GPay so that is not a deal breaker for me. 5G and Android Auto were the big questions and I read multiple reviews stating AA works seamlessly on the global variant straight out of the box.

Also was the import process from Wonda smooth? I dropped you a DM on that to avoid flooding this thread with India import formalities.

Thanks.
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Audroid Auto works very well in this phone including wirelessly.I think even more smoothly than my Samsung Fold2. And one thing more.Wonda mobile does not export to India .So I got it imported to Kuwait where my brother is located.And he sent it me.But there is another option.You can directly import it from a shop in UK.The details of that shop you can see in this thread somewhere above.
[Honor Magic V2] jamster12:
Great, thanks for the info.

I had a great experience with Wondamobile, ordered on a Thursday evening, got it on Tuesday.

[Honor Magic V2] perrin21:
The Honor Magic V2 foldable global phone showcases innovative hardware design, but falls short in delivering a truly modern software experience. Despite its promising specifications, the software feels reminiscent of Huawei's offerings from 2020, lacking the refinement expected from today's flagship devices.

One notable disappointment is the absence of support for the Network Neighbourhood feature in the Files app, hindering the seamless sharing of files across the network. This oversight detracts from the device's usability, especially for users who rely on network sharing for productivity or convenience.

Furthermore, the gallery app's limited video editing functionality is a step backward from previous Huawei models like the Mate 20x or the Honors now old budget Magic 5 lite. Users accustomed to robust editing capabilities may find themselves frustrated by the lack of features and the inability to perform more than one line of edits.

Adding to the frustration is the slow pace of updates for the device, with the promised Magic OS 8 update taking longer to arrive than anticipated. Compounded with underwhelming feature promises, the delayed updates fail to excite users or address existing software limitations. The latest OS from Samsung integrates loads of AI features and looks more exciting. I also dont understand this Honor obsession with trying to copy Apple with Icons and function, No Android foldable user ever said i want my android to be like an Iphone, Otherwise they would have just bought an Iphone and in this case saved money.

In conclusion, while the Honor Magic V2 impresses with its foldable design, its software shortcomings dampen the overall user experience. Without timely updates and essential features like network file sharing and advanced video editing, the device struggles to compete with other flagship offerings in the market.
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
Anyone here included in the closed UK beta for global V2? Curious how stable it is and how many of the Magic 6 features (or other foldable specific features like a taskbar) they are adding.
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
It's beta, instability and quirks are almost guaranteed.. if ur not ready to put in a bit of work to work around the quirks, I would suggest you not update to beta..
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
So the beta, not available for Global rom users?
[Honor Magic V2] giuseppe_ncaj:
I sold my z fold 5 for the magic v2 and I am happy with it regarding the device itself... its size, its weight, its finesse... but for the OS part it is just ashamed. What can we say about this update which will already be obsolete when it comes out by summer? If the Z Fold 6 were to be inspired by the Magic v2, it would undoubtedly become the best fold on the market... without discussion! I’m crossing my fingers that Samsung hears me!
[Honor Magic V2] perrin21:
I hope Honor and Huawei read this and act.
[Honor Magic V2] Thealshear:
Anyone looking to sell their stylus if they are not using it?
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
I'm thinking the ZFold6 isn't going to be a game-changer, unless the rumor of a ZFold6 Ultra (silo for s-pen) comes to fruition. Rumor is that the battery will go from 4400mah to 4600mah, not really an increase.......phone might be wider, possibly 6.4, but inner screen to remain at 7.6, which means phone won't be as tall as ZFold5...........and the cameras are to remain the same as ZFold5.

Samsung is going to mess around and lose out to other mfr's for foldable devices. I think they know that they are still the leader in foldables sold, but it they don't have major design improvements and then Apple comes out with foldables, they will be lost.................I believe if Apple comes out with foldables, they will be well over $2k but people will buy anyway.

Samsung Push Service

In my Honor Magic V2 Global Phone I see Samsung Push Service.I want to know whether Honor originally included this as a System App.When I got V2 I got transferred all the Apps from my old Samsung Fold2 Phone.If Honor has it's own Push Service App,I want to debloat this Samsung Push Service.So anybody please advise.

Waiting with thanks....
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Samsung push service is unique to Samsung devices, but is updated through the play store...hence it may be there that it was installed into ur V2.. the honor equivalent is "com.hihonor.android.pushagent" which, like Samsung push service, could be removed with no repercussion..
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you rathian for your instant and detailed advice.Accordingly I am uninstalling the Samsung Push Service just now.
[Honor Magic V2] Blackbeardz:
A questions here, I would be really thankful if someone answers:

The device has a big and nice inside screen but are you using all of it when watching content?

Considering that most videos and contents are in 16:9 ratio and the inside screen is almost 10:9 and it technically should crop 90% of videos and pictures you're watching, so that's my question, does it do that? And if it does then what's the point of having the bigger screen if I'm really want to use it for watching content? Since the cropped screen would equal to my galaxy 21 ultra screen that I have so technically it's like watching the content on my 21 ultra and the extra screen on magic v2 is not being used so what's the point? Unless I said or calculated something wrong so please correct me or tell me your experience
[Honor Magic V2] Kainyt:
Yes, the video content often doesn't utilize the big screen very well and most of that content will leave you with big black bars around it. Or you could spread the picture across the whole screen but much of it would get cropped.

So if you only watch videos, then the bigger screen doesn't bring much to you.

However, if you ever browse the internet, read forums or PDFs or any other content, watch pictures, do multitasking, or even play games, then the big screen is amazing.

And sure you could for example browse the internet while having a video playing on half of the screen.
[Honor Magic V2] Blackbeardz:
Interesting, thank you.

Can you send a picture of how the average ratio picture or video looks like on the phone?

And how much of it is cropped or has black bars?

Thanks, in advance.

And if you could chose between s23 ultra and honor magic v2, which one would you chose?
