[Honor Magic V2] J-A-J-O:
Thank you, worked to me too. I'm downloading 8.0 now to get Google Apps. I'm also using Huawei Mate 60, but this one will stay with Gspace, unfortunately.
[Honor Magic V2] cyan4:
Waiting for the chance or method to have the global rom on the china magic v2 if possible
[Honor Magic V2] alvinyew99:
Honor MagicOS 8.0.0.103 is officially available for download!
[Honor Magic V2] freekick84:
I'm still trying to figure out what are the changes. Everything looks the same in 8.0 ☹️
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
they remove the photo Chinese New Year watermark.
[Honor Magic V2] Flavio:
What alternative way is there to change the system font on MOS8?

If I use Themes I only see Chinese fonts and if I then choose a subsection I have to sign in with a Huawei account. If I do that the app changes and I can only see a few themes, no seperate section for fonts (text styles).
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
that is because your Huawei ID is tagged as an overseas account, hence it will transfer you to the lnternational Theme store, which is as good as useless.

If so, the only way to log into Huawei Theme is to use an CN Honor ID, which can be created from the link given by @gargoylsz
[Honor Magic V2] Flavio:
You are correct, I have a Chinese Honor ID but I was able to get it without a Chinese phone number.

If I try and login with the Honor ID in Themes it forces to me link my Huawei ID and then this is refused because I don't have a Chinese number.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
you clear the data for the theme store.

then on your theme app, you go to the login page, but don't key in anything.

you click the bottom honor logo, to hide your Honor ID to login.

make your your Honor app and setting login are logged in using the Chinese ID.
[Honor Magic V2] cyan4:
Anyone is able to toggle the switches on this network acceleration option under the WLAN?
[Honor Magic V2] gargoylsz:
I have the ticwatch pro 5 lol, I've lost hope
[Honor Magic V2] Flavio:
Clear Data is greyed out for the Themes app. I can only clear cache.

I have used the small HONOR icon at the bottom to login but after that I am forced to link my Huawei account which is not a Chinese mainland account.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
i just tried mine. i logged out my Honor apps and Theme.

i then logged in to the Honor apps using my email address, created on the CN Honor website.

after that, i opened up the theme and press the Honor button and it logged in automatically. it didnt ask for Huawei account.

why not you try create a new Honor ID using the link i sent above? remember to choose the email registration option. (on the left side, you can see a email logo) during the registration, i also used my Singapore number for the registration, and there was no issue with it.

do you have huawei cloud connected?

i had removed all Huawei account from my device, remove huawei cloud and subscribed to Honor cloud.

logged in to Huawei health using Honor ID.
[Honor Magic V2] Flavio:
I have created my Honor ID with the link you refer to. I tries logging out and then logging in through the Themes app, however it keeps forcing me to link my Huawei ID.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
i just tried again.

when you are at the theme login screen, and it shows huawei logo, use your newly created Honor ID to log in. it works for me.
[Honor Magic V2] Flavio:
Ok, I managed to get it done by deleting all my known Huawei ID's and creating a new one from the prompt in the Themes app. So now I have a full Themes app with my Honor ID linked to my Huawei ID.

However there are still only Chinese text styles in the app...

Edit: Never mind, I found Font Manager in Google Play store that has lots of nice fonts.

After downloading fonts you have to manually copy them to the Honor/Themes folder and not the Huawei/Themes folder and then they will show up in the Themes app.
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
the chinese text is just an example of the style, and it will still apply to the english text.
[Honor Magic V2] mladpetko:
Chinese ROM and 8.0 (103).

I don't get any notification bedges (red dots). Whenever email or smth is received I do hear the sound. It shows only on lock screen, or if I pull up from top left corner to open notifications.

Anyone with same issue?

Thanks

Contrary to my Fold5 there is no timeout setting for the personal hotspot function in MOS8. I would like to keep my hotspot on at all times. What other solutions are there to achieve this?
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
I expect the beta for V2 global will be run next month. Someone on Reddit published a release schedule for various phones to get OS 8. The betas they have done have been exactly 2 months ahead of each stable release. Since stable 8 for global is expected to release in June, I expect beta to be in April. They did 5 pro global in Feb, 4 pro global in March, V2 is next on their list. Fingers crossed!
[Honor Magic V2] perfecteric:
Magic os 8 update finally arrived!

For Chinese V2
[Honor Magic V2] tycoon18:
Anyone still stuck on Jan security patch for the global v2? I'm still on 7.2.0.118 (Jan Patch). I know most European models got the Feb patch already but mine is from Wonda Mobile.
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Still on 118 here for global V2.. probably won't see any other update till 2025..
[Honor Magic V2] tycoon18:
:( Wonder why they update region wise instead of all Global or All Chinese.

Nope nothing 🤣
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
i got magic os8 on my v2 :D and now i got gms chinese version
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
And it's happened, the one thing I was always dreading not to occur - screen with internal bleeding when unfolded, there's a dark patch around the lense and very faint line all the way down.

Not noticeable at the moment but will grow and as being imported there's goes the dilemma of imported phone.

One of a kind, V2 Ultimate Edition rather stick with than get a Porch replacement version global as opposed to Chinese ultimate with Os8.0 with GMS supported.

Let see how this plays out 😞💆🤞🙇

Are there anyone in India who got Honor Magic V2 Global.I ordered one from Wonda Mobile and it is due to reach me on March 29th.I want to know whether V2 can be got serviced in the existing Honor Service Outlets whenever needed, ofcourse by paying service charges.

Waiting with thanks....
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
do you have photo? is it similar to samsung green vertial line?

TikTok - Make Your Day

it could be some melt away soldering at the screen, causing the line. but please get a experienced technician to look at it.
[Honor Magic V2] brianadam888:
Have anyone used the Aida64 or DevInfo on Honor Magic V2? Both apps seem to indicate that the rear camera is only 10MP. Can someone help to check?
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
Yes, I get the same info. Honor Magic OS limits direct hardware access and if you go into DevInfo on "Supported cameras" you will see that they basically provide several virtual api interfaces which hide the real camera details. So far I did not find a single app that could retrieve the real hardware infos ....
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Since no one seems to answer my question,I am posting it once again to attract the attention of those who bought this phone in India.

Hi, I can't find how to set 4 different wallpapers (external screen lockscreen, external screen homescreen, internal screen lock screen and internal screen homescreen) as on my old samsung zfold3, isn't possible on magic v2?
[Honor Magic V2] eyz:
have you gotten the phone?

the best way is to contact Honor India directly.

if i am not wrong, your global set should be able to set the My Honor apps to India and contact them directly.

My CN set can only set to China in the My Honor settings.
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you eyz for the earnestness to help me.Actually the phone will reach my hands on 29th March only.Then I will try your suggestion.
[Honor Magic V2] scorpy81:
can global v2 do call recording (from normal stock OS)?
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
As far as I know call recording is not available in the global rom due tu laws from different countries that forbid making recordings during phone calls. I do know that there are ways to re-enable that by swapping the phone app or installing additional plugins, but in most European countries for example it is against the law.

Having said that, I still would like to swap my Chinese Rom V2 against a global rom V2 as I miss the Wifi-Call functionality on the Chinese Rom. E-Sim functionality is missing as well but I substituted it by use of esim.me.
[Honor Magic V2] scorpy81:
I am in Singapore by the way... and I am not really sure is it because of laws not allowed...because last time my xiaomi phone which is global can have call recording (and I remember that time it was because it is related to china phone global OS able to give call recording) ...but then when I switch to samsung , yes indeed they give reason of laws so not able to do call recording . So since this is again china phone, i am just wondering anyone who use this global OS phone in Singapore (or asia at least) , can let me know the stock OS have call recording out of the box or not.

Just got the Honor Stylus pen for my V2 global Magic. Anyone knows how to pair it with the phone?

Thanks
[Honor Magic V2] bdoviack:
Believe when the charging cap is open, the stylus is in pairing mode.

The stylus instructions are in Chinese but if you use Google Lens, it will translate it for you so you can learn more about the stylus.
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Press n hold the pen button for a few seconds till blinking green light to put it into pairing mode.. make sure your phone Bluetooth is on.. a window will pop up about the magic pen and pairing instructions..
[Honor Magic V2] lucboucim:
And thanks for the tip on using google lens for translation ...
[Honor Magic V2] lucboucim:
thanks it works!!! now looking for a good app to annotate word and PDF documents
[Honor Magic V2] Axelman8:
Hey there

I'm Interested in the pen. Where did you buy it? Can you share a link? Very appreciated.

Cheers
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
Fairly ease:

First charge it by opening the top of the pen and connect it to USB-C for at least 30 Minutes.

Second press the button on the pen until you see a blinking light

Third search the pen in the Bluetooth settings.

Connecting it works without further action.
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
If you are willing to pay a fed bucks, I would recommend ezpdf reader ... great application and has pen support for annotations. I replaced all other pdf readers with it. Though I use it only for pdf documents. Not sure about word documents in that context.

I'm coming from the Samsung ecosystem and while I haven't tested a Samsung watch, my Garmin is working rather well.

I'm using an eSIM from Mint Mobile in the US. Not sure why people use the proper carriers when so many good MVNO's exist. The device supports all LTE bands on T-Mobile and all of the 5g bands other than ultra-wide bands (which is ok because those are huge battery hogs and not very useful outside cities). Hope this helps!

[Honor Magic V2] shibadog:
I don't see a post that niccolo left phone number blank when he/she applied for beta.

I think chinese phone number is necessary because Honor send you a text message to verification.

I saw X(twitter)post that says he got the text message needed to be answered. after answering the survey, he got the beta update on 1st Sep.
[Honor Magic V2] marbo2k9:
I asked him and he replied that he had left the field blank.

I find it strange because the field is a mandatory field. So I randomly entered a Chinese number.
[Honor Magic V2] ChodTheWacko:
Well, in the spirit of getting answers for myself, I ordered the V2.

Does anyone have overheating issues with the v2? I see it mentioned every now and then, and today someone uploaded a video to youtube and makes it sound really bad. However, the recent long term reviews (one guy had it 2 months) didn't complain about it at all.
[Honor Magic V2] marbo2k9:
That's why I ordered it and haven't regretted it yet. After yesterday's Apple keynote I'm even more convinced ;)

I haven't had any overheating problems so far.

Where do you ordered it?
[Honor Magic V2] ChodTheWacko:
I ordered it from Wonda.

They shipped it today, and they actually sent me the IMEI so I already applied for the GMS beta. Ha! I used my USA phone number and said the nolog version. I suspect the 'log' version gets priority actually, but oh well.

I think I might use my old phone as an android auto passthrough for the short term.
[Honor Magic V2] marbo2k9:
I ordered it also from wonda mobile. Perfect service and very fast (tuesday ordered, Friday delievered).

You used your USA phonenumber? How? Which format? My germany format (+49171xxxxxxx) do not work:-(
[Honor Magic V2] ChodTheWacko:
For the honor ID, I downloaded the app to my current phone and applied that way. The web site uses SMS verfication.

It accepted my US phone number if I included the country code. so 1xxxyyyyyyy.

It didn't accept it without the 1. Also to apply I used the web form, linked from the gizmochina web page i.e.:

https://retail.hihonor.com/dist/questionnaire/?questionnaireId=64d349176ab551620513efb5#/pc-index
[Honor Magic V2] marbo2k9:
Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately I can't save a German cell phone number. No matter what, I always get an error message that the number doesn't work for me :(

My phone number Format is: +49 171 xxx xxxx
[Honor Magic V2] Omgitsdenis:
I'm having the same problem :(
[Honor Magic V2] ChodTheWacko:
Played around with this some more.

I think my phone number "worked" because it looks like a chinese phone number.

As per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_numbers_in_China:

In mainland China, mobile phone numbers have eleven digits in the format 1xx-XXXX-XXXX (except for 140–144, which are 13-digit IoT numbers), in which the first three digits (13x to 19x) designate the mobile phone service provider.

If you live in the usa or canada and include the country code of '1', your phone number is 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx.

So a phone number in winnepeg, canada of 14319999999 "works" as far as application goes.

Will be accepted though? We'll see. If they do a text confirmation then it won't - but hopefully, like for niccolo they just use the IMEI. It's certainly possible after niccolo got the beta, they changed the form to reject blanks. (THANKS A LOT NICCOLO !@#*$(&#@*($&@#($)

Two other notes:

#1: If you do 'google translate' -> Translate to english, it breaks the form. It doesn't accept ANY phone numbers after that. You have to submit it in chinese but it's easy to translate in one window and submit in another.

#2 I really don't think there's any harm in just making up a phone number and submitting. Worst case, you still don't get into the beta. I highly highly doubt they will blacklist the IMEA from the final GMS rom.
[Honor Magic V2] marbo2k9:
IMEI? I had to enter the SN.
[Honor Magic V2] tboy2000:
Can I ask in settings does it say to login with Huawei ID or Honor iD? I know in older Honor phones you can login with Huawei ID.

Also does anyone have a Huawei account and tried using that to login to Honor id?
[Honor Magic V2] Omgitsdenis:
I'm even struggling to connect my phone with an honor id or even create an account. it says something along the lines that my region is not supported. I live in germany. Do you guys have any tips as to how I can get around this? I really want to make sure that I have the right ID to apply for the GMS program with.
[Honor Magic V2] marbo2k9:
Same Problem. Germany ;-)
[Honor Magic V2] ChodTheWacko:
Ugh, you're right. I'll reregister when I get the phone (tomorrow, I hope) I'm so used to using IMEI for everything.

I don't know if you read the last few posts, but applying for GMS beta seems to require a phone number now, and it doesn't seem to accept german numbers. Just FYI.

But as far as getting an honor ID,

I -think- you can just go to the honor ID web page:

Honor ID

hnid-drcn.cloud.hihonor.com

and pick a random country and select 'register with e-mail'.

You don't have to enter a phone number, so it has to just trust you.

I created an account through my current huawei phone by downloading the 'My honor" android app

I was able to use the same e-mail to log onto the honor ID web site. (via log in -> "log in with password") So this is another option.
[Honor Magic V2] Omgitsdenis:
Thanks. That worked. Now I just need to figure out how to apply for the freaking GMS beta program :/
[Honor Magic V2] Katto89:
I found a link in these posts here (https://retail.hihonor.com/dist/questionnaire/?questionnaireId=64d349176ab551620513efb5#/app-Index) where you can register for the GMS beta (sorry for my bad English).

You need to use Google translate for it.

But unfortunately you need a Chinese (!?) mobile phone number.

German numbers doesn't work.

I tryed some random Chinese numbers, but it says "The cellphone number format is incorrect" :(

Don't know how to fix that problem.
[Honor Magic V2] Omgitsdenis:
I just applied there. As Phone number I just used a "random chinese phone number"

Got one from here: https://www.bestrandoms.com/random-cn-phone-number

I could send out the form, now it's just waiting and hoping.
[Honor Magic V2] knives of ice:
I have the mix fold 2 currently and have been trying to decide between the fold 3 and the V2. I am also thinking of waiting to see what the one plus fold final specs. the biggest thing I hate on Tmobile is horrible 5g coverage with all of these Chinese phones it seems.
[Honor Magic V2] dying4004:
You could be waiting indefinitely as no one has any news of release date for Oneplus Open.

I was also waiting for Oneplus Open but now seeing the situation ordered a V2 yesterday.

[Honor Magic V2] brianadam888:
Push and hold the button on the HMP for around 8 sec. The LED light will start to blink. Make sure the Bluetooth has been switched on in your HMV2. Are you using the Chinese rom or Global rom?
[Honor Magic V2] lucboucim:
Global Rom
[Honor Magic V2] brianadam888:
If you are on Chinese rom you can use the Honor Docs which allow you to create Word, Excel, PowerPoint, scan documents, extract table and even annotate PDF (without subscription or fees).

Note: Global rom also embedded Honor Docs but has limited functionalities.

I sold my Global rom and bought the China rom (with MagicOS 8 I have GMS too) because I found that I am able to fully utilize the Magic Pen. There are many pen writing features not available on Global rom.
[Honor Magic V2] ycats:
I ended up going to a T-Mobile store to get it activated via eSim.
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
So the way this works for most carriers is in their app you can activate a new eSIM. All you need to provide is the phone's IMEI #. They'll send you an email with a QR code you can scan or a link you can click to activate the eSIM on your phone. Very straightforward!
