[Honor Magic V2] tboy2000:
I used Huawei phones. Does anyone know if I can login to my Huawei account on the V2 instead of an Honor account and thus all my data, notes, gallery are synched to the V2?
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
get a global version the one i have is a china rom so you need a chinese huawei account to sign in or a chinese honor account
[Honor Magic V2] dinnye88:
Does anyone with Magic8.0 got Android Auto working?
[Honor Magic V2] KoumaraR:
You just need to goto "Accounts & users" -> Add your Huawei Account, and that's it, the App Gallery will updated automatically.
[Honor Magic V2] shadders:
Can anyone recommend a good case, and a small (~10k mah) Powerbank that can charge the v2 at 66w? (I assume the honor supercharge uses proprietary standard and not every 66w Powerbank will work?
[Honor Magic V2] Stebal60:
No. Non funziona
[Honor Magic V2] generic2:
Mine is smooth too. However the case doesn't fit properly and the spine part keeps falling open. Anyone recommend a decent case?
[Honor Magic V2] slaguru666:
On my China V2, I have OS8 installed. How do I get the Google Play Store up and running ?? Any ideas?
[Honor Magic V2] volkodav1975:
In Accounts, you can
[Honor Magic V2] jaganrana:
Do we need to install Play Store from apkpure? if that is the case, then does it get updated automatically ?
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Setting the screen to 60hz to save battery is a total garbage mess with lots of jerkiness and stuttering in browser video playback when you are trying to scroll.. lots of software optimisation issues which I hope they will fix by magicOS 8..
[Honor Magic V2] slaguru666:
Yep, got that, but that does not load the Google Play Store does it ??
[Honor Magic V2] Thealshear:
You need to download it from apkmirror or apkpure after you install it will work as expected
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you Bigzanigza.So I preordered Global Version from Wonda Mobile.Can I change inherant launcher to Nova Launcher?
[Honor Magic V2] btagomes:
This one saved my V2 from more then 10 falls >1 meter high, is not beautifull but is tough:

[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Yes u can.. I'm using nova launcher now with no issues.. just don't uninstall or disable the default honor home launcher cos it's still responsible for gesture navigation..
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Will anyone who got already the Honor Magic V2 Global post a detailed Review here?It would have been a guide to all who aspire for this device and deterred OnePlus Open.
[Honor Magic V2] btagomes:
Are you sure you can change the default launcher? I know you can install the NOVA launcher, but can you make it default??
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
In the global version of Honor Magic V2 the ROM allows changing the launcher. In the Chinese version it is not allowed (neither in MagicOS 7.2 nor in MagicOS 8 Beta).
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Yes you can for global version.. I am using it as the default launcher.. for CN version I think it is not possible..
[Honor Magic V2] tycoon18:
Anyone have Smart Sensing on Magic V2? I can't find it. It is basically similar to smart stay on Samsung phones where screen stays on if you are looking at it.

It is supposed to be there on Magic OS (

)
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you B

Thank you Bigzanigza.I am a big lover of Nova for since 2 decades.But ,last time with the association with Samsung Fold2 I had to break the bond.Now with my V2 I can reunite with Nova.
[Honor Magic V2] gomme600:
Hi, has anyone tried rooting this yet ? Just bought the global version to replace my OnePlus 7t. Also, is there an equivalent to off screen gestures (v for torch, etc...) ?

Thanks
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
Will the CN device be able to install the global rom on it in the near future?
[Honor Magic V2] dexxa05:
Hi Guys,

- Do you have any WiFi password issues during a connection ?

Regards
[Honor Magic V2] KoumaraR:
No WiFi issues. Connected to almost 5 WiFi networks.
[Honor Magic V2] recluta:
Hi, now that the global version has been distributed, will it be possible to replace the Chinese software?
[Honor Magic V2] sascha.zindel:
Nobody knows. It might involve unlocking the boot loader. If so, we will never see the global rom on Chinese devices. If they would use the same certificates for the global rom, it might be possible to switch to the new ROM, but even then we would need the service firmware (version that can be flashed by USB).

As Honor has a pretty closed system of providing firmware updates it might take quite a while until somebody figures out on how and where to retrieve it.

So I do have doubts that it will happen soon.
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
Just got my V2 CN version. Can someone help me out how to get Google play store installed?
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
Got the Honor Magic V2

Arrived today. I must say, it's a revelation in terms of its size. Finally. Foldables no longer sagging in my pocket, that's the biggest deal for me cause I loved the vivo folds but my goodness they were heavy! Battery life is amazing so far...

xdaforums.com

Read. You owe me 30seconds of my life.
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
Thanks mate. Just downloaded and installed but when I click on the app it immediately fades away
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
Did you switch on Google support as mention in the first link?
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
That option in not available at all on my v2 when I go into accounts.

Just FYI: i m on MagicOS 7.2 Android 13
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
Then you have 3 options:

- Wait for MagicOS 8 update which will include Google support as standard

- Register for Honor chinese account (you will need to look for instructions in this thread) and hope that you account can still participate in MagicOS8 Beta program

- Send CN version back and order Global version

Most of the users who bought before end of CY23 registered for Google Services beta.
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
Why is that option not available for me?

If I would like google play store now I will need to try your second option right? You know where the instructions are? This thread is quite big

And is there already a date when MagicOS 8 will be available?
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
This is a chinese phone for CN market only and China in general opposes any usage of "western" services like Google, what do you exactly expect? Research before you buy.

MagicOS 8 Google services support for Chinese firmware is positioned for "travelers" and "students" who are "forced to use Google abroad".

There is no official ETA for MagicOS8 upgrade yet.
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
So there is just no way to use google right now for me?
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
I provided exactly 3 options ;) but short answer is - no short term Google support for you. Some wonders could happen and you could receive a firmware update with Google support but I doubt it. What FW version are you at currently?
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
Just read the thread, you will learn a lot. Taking shortcuts by letting somebody help you will not let you improve over time.
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
hi i heard that magic os 8 is happening this month feb i am the same i am in your shoes waiting on magic os 8 update i have checked in the my honor app there is no beta test left the my honor app is in chinese but i somehow figured where the beta test section was lol i also needed a chinese mobile number well a chinese honor account to sign into the app those are a bit hard to get so you will need to find away on trying to get a chinese honor account i also spoke to the uk honor online chat they said it was meant to be this month for the magic os 8 update good luck :)
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
I m on 7.2.0.129(SP1C00E127R5P7patch02)
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
Thanks for this. But will separate .apk installation packages work?
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
General apps yes, but not if they rely on Google services and frameworks in the background.
[Honor Magic V2] chortya:
This is the latest FW version, so probably no wonders will happen. BTW, I sold my CN version and switched to Samsung for now but still looking at global versions and waiting for the secondary market pricing to lower.
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
hey buddy they where selling global versions of the v2 on wondamobile :)
[Honor Magic V2] Allografter:
I've got the global version from wondamobile. Just fantastic. Bargain price. Indistinguishable from the UK version. Most importantly, Nova Launcher working. This was the deal breaker with the CN version.
[Honor Magic V2] recluta:
Thank you..
[Honor Magic V2] conceptgate:
Question, I was wondering whether the Global Version has esim, or are both physical sim slots like the CN version?The UK version seems to have 1 esim and 1 physical sim, so slightly different hardware as expected, but not sure if the global version does?
[Honor Magic V2] kreso75:
My global version has place for 2 physical nano SIM's. Somewhere in the settings I saw option that 2nd SIM could also be eSIM.

I guess that activating eSIM disables 2nd physical SIM.
[Honor Magic V2] vanngoh:
Global Rom V2:

- Yes esim uses Sim2.

- Yes you can change Launcher to Nova BUT you will loose 'Private Space', Work profile' and multi windows function. So nova is a no go if u fancy the above.

- Yes the V2 cam is great, not lagging much behind OP open

- Yes u have Google right off the bat

- Yes u will get magic os 8 in Feb for china Rom V2.

- Yes you can purchase Magic Pen and use it on Global Rom phones

(Take note it's NOT magic pencil, and magic pen are mostly OOS)

- Yes the opening angle is not as flexible as OP open and opening V2 is much harder then OP open, the curved sides certainly didn't help the course.

- Yes V2 got 'side bar' like OP open & Samsung BUT u have to press and hold back gesture in order to bring up the side bar which is kinda annoying.

- Yes you can have up to 4 apps multi-windowing but unlike OP Open's 3x Full screen multi-windows (if u get what I mean)

- Yes for some reason, the crease in global Rom is much lesser than china rom's (don't ask me why)

- Yes, horizontal multi window is possible

- Lastly and yes, you'll not regret getting a V2 over Open as the slimness & weight of it outweighs everything open has to offer!
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
Prob would like to correct u that using nova launcher does not make you lose multi windows, just makes it one extra step only.. I can still use multi windows with nova launcher..
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
I have a Samsung Fold2 with eSim.How can I transfer this eSim to Honor Magic V2 Global? Please give me the procedure for it.

Waiting with thanks....
[Honor Magic V2] tomy159:
Hi all,

Sorry if was asked questions before.

I have v2 global last 3 days, also I was use vivo x fold 2 (great phone but not global)

And there is few thing what really not understood.

Unfold screen:

Can somehow change dpi without make black line in bottom. There notification centre is so big and just waste space.

Also is there any option to make icons smaller?

Fold screen:

When I watching anything include YouTube I have black line where is camera it is somewhere option to show full without that line?

Thing last one is there option how to active wallet by double click power button or similar thing?

I know non is UI is perfect for everyone, but this is really limited against others.

Thanks
[Honor Magic V2] Honorist:
How I can take off the deepsleep. I get my notifications in deep sleep only 7 minutes later. Any idea how I can fix this??
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
You'll need to contact your network provider to transfer transfer from one eSim to another via QR Code or manual eid activation and need to delete profile from old phone.
[Honor Magic V2] netvlada:
Hi to all.

How to know ,is Magic V2 China or Global model,is there some model numbers?

I want to buy Global version in Hong Kong.
[Honor Magic V2] khailchain:
yeah their are model numbers for sure you can get a global version on wondamobile <-- based in hong kong also there is bludiode
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you
[Honor Magic V2] rafik1976xda:
Hi, yes my V2 has been delivered a week ago, I can confirm that Android Auto is 100% working
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
So, after owning the Xiaomi Fold 1, 2 and 3 last week I took the plundge and went for the Honor Magic V2. I had a good deal on the V2 an a marketplace so I "had" to go for the CN version to see if I can live with the drawback of not having Google Play Store and Google Services. I will share my thoughts on this in a new reply, but first some intial questions I would like to know if someone has experience with this or know more about it:

1. Sometimes when i gently swipe my screen you can see some kind of little swipe line like it wants to draw something of thinks my finger is a pen or something. What is this and how can I turn this off?

2. You can only enter the notifications menu and/or control centre by swipe from the top of the screen. This is pretty annoying escpecially for a folding device. I dont know where I read it anymore, but am I correct that this feature will be natively supported on MagicOS 8?

3. Is there a way to make the icons on the homescreen look bigger? And delete the text from the icons?

4. I was used that when you use Google Autofill Passwords, my suggestions where showed on top of the keyboard so you could easilly select the corresponding password. On the Honor CN Google Autofill is not supported (because I am on MagicOS 7.2) so I tried other Autofill options like Edge and Authenticator (microsoft). It does not get filled in automatically. You have to longpress the screen, select Auto-Fill and only after that the suggested passwords appear. Is there a way so that auto-fill is presented right away?

5. Autofill incomming text messages (for 2FA apps) does not seems to work on the Honor device. Is there a workaround of fix for this?

6. Is there a way to create a Honor account? I cannot seem to login or make an account. Located in Europe.

7. I saw in a video from Average Dad on youtube that he was getting horizontal split mode. Mine only does vertical split mode. How can I setup horizontal split mode ?

8. I cannot seem to be able to personally config double tapping the powerbutton for opening camera (or another preffered app). Is there no way to get this work?

9. Is there a way to add Dutch/Netherlands language support for typing with the IME stock keyboard?
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you rafik196
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Is Wireless Android Auto present in Honor Magic V2 Global?My Car Player (Blaupunkt) is equipped with Wireless Android Auto.
[Honor Magic V2] rafik1976xda:
I can't check this as my car is too old for wireless android auto. I'm using USB cable
[Honor Magic V2] thklinge:
Yes, it also works with wireless AA
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you rafik
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Thank you thklinge for your affirmative reply.
[Honor Magic V2] PaulParanoia:
1. Partial screenshots found under the Accessibility settings.

2. Very annoying!

3. I don't think so.

4. You can switch to Google or others under System & Updates > Language & Input > More input settings > Autofill

5. Don't know.

6. Don't know.

7. Open two apps and then click the 3 dots in the middle. Both apps need to support horizontal mode.

8. Pass.

9. Pass.
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
1st Software Update since upgrading to Magic Os8.0, so looking forward to what fix & update pushed...........!
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Can I ask were you based & any noticeable updates to share?
[Honor Magic V2] izbr1234:
Not yet. Nothing new about AA or Wear OS or Launcher....
[Honor Magic V2] defpat:
I'm still on 7.2 and have also the possibility to upgrade. Can someone confirm that this is not a beta version and that all from google works? Thanks
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
That is China beta rom and google works, but google pay doesn't because it doesn't pass CTS profile..
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
Bluetooth mics don't work at all on global rom 7.2. Confirmed with another global user on Reddit. Not my car, not my watch, not my headphones. I can connect and hear the other party, but mic just won't work. Anyone have any ideas?
[Honor Magic V2] tboy2000:
Close phone. Go to settings. Search for Cutout. Change entry from auto to show Cutout in YouTube app and other apps. Cutout settings only appear when folded and not unfolded.
[Honor Magic V2] gt5oh:
I am running Magic V2 Global Edition, picked up from Wonda, running on Verizon Wireless in USA. Can someone else test out bluetooth calls either via earbuds or in their car. I make a call and the end user says they cannot hear me at all. This only happens when placing a call via Bluetooth. Anyone else on global version of v2, can you test bluetooth calls?
[Honor Magic V2] gt5oh:
Did you test bluetooth calls?
[Honor Magic V2] ebrahim.popat:
This one does pass.
[Honor Magic V2] rathian:
There r reports on Chinese forums that it will fail after a few days..
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
I m on MAGICOS 7.2

Just tried to update (and also the trail update) but he still says that there is no update. How can you update to MAGICOS 8.0 ? I have a CN v2
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
Thanks for your answers

1. Found it. Disabling this only makes the device not taking the partial screenshot anymore but the annoying gesture recognition still remains so this does not solve the issue. Surprised that no one else sees this as a problem

2. Will be fixed in os8 from what I have heard

4. Won't work because I m on magicos 7.2 so Google autofill won't work
[Honor Magic V2] olimpxxx:
After update, google pay works fine. You need to clear the Google pay/Wallet, Google play services application data.
[Honor Magic V2] Coolgadget77:
I was able to buy it in a Belgium store... Ordered it on Sunday, and just arrived this morning... ;-)
[Honor Magic V2] jaganrana:
So, since we have lots of global devices with global roms, is there anyway to use global rom on Chinese Magic V2?
[Honor Magic V2] pnsdhrn:
Does those who bought Honor V2 Global experience when calls over Bluetooth or Android Auto the recipients do not hear sound?And what is the remedy for this issue?
[Honor Magic V2] PaulParanoia:
1. I've never seen the swipe line when not using my knuckle.

2. Yes, I've seen that working on OS8 on youtube.

4. I'm also on 7.2 and Google autofill is working just fine.
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
For those asking, Bluetooth microphone is broken on latest global release (7.2.118). Please reach out to Honor to get them to fix this! Based on a post on r/Honor, appears to be related to their implementation of HD audio. If enough people bug them, they will fix it!
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
It's nice we sharing experience but we need to feed back what's NOT working to Honor.

I've got the Chinese Rom on Magic Os 8.0, prior to it Google Pay & Twin app worked but now broken.

Since fed back and first update pushed, Twin App now fixed and working, but not Google pay even after clearing the Google pay/Wallet, Google play services application data, as illegitimate hence security error message Once you add a bank card & don't recognise the Magic Os8.0. Hoping sooner there be a fix for Google Pay as Google, also tried Huawei Card but also seem to be broken with Curve app once bind, no way of enabling contactless payment within the app.

We need to share our experience of what's not working with Honor who relies and benefit from our feed back to improve their recently Global lunch. 👌🏾
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
How do we get this feedback to the Honor developers?

Also, Google pay is not working on 8.0 because it is a beta. This is even the case on Google Pixel devices. Betas never pass safetynet and therefore some banking apps and Google pay don't work. This is not a bug, not going through Google's certification process means they can update faster and cheaper (and thus get to a final build quicker). Every manufacturer that does betas does this.
[Honor Magic V2] olimpxxx:
After the update, mine passes the test
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
I stand corrected
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Do you have a link to the Chinese forum, the direct link no longer visible and seem Honor directing everyone to use the mobile Honor Club app
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Did you have access to google pay after immediate upgrade to Magic Os8.0 or like one of the suggestion, cleared the Google pay/Wallet, Google play services application data?

Just to confirm you have the Chinese Rom version not Global!
[Honor Magic V2] olimpxxx:
Yes, I have Chinese rom. After the update, I cleared the application data and Google pay/wallet worked.
[Honor Magic V2] Stebal60:
Versione cinese V2. Confermo. Google Pay è tornato a funzionare dopo l'aggiornamento di ieri. Non funzionava con la prima versione BETA di OS 8
[Honor Magic V2] Stebal60:
The same for me. Before no passed-
[Honor Magic V2] manmute98:
Tried this including factory resetting the phone and still same message from google pay "This phone can't be set up to pay contactless" Phone doesn't meet security standard to make contactless payments.

I'll continue to pester Honor as it might be an isolated incident/case
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
Thanks for your replies. How did you manage to get Google Autofill work? We cannot install Google on MagicOS 7.2 CN devices can we?
[Honor Magic V2] Prydateer:
My notification don t arrive at all or way too late. Is there a nood guide somewhere how to disable HONOR PUSH app via ADB?
[Honor Magic V2] XtianRO:
Did you notice that with the latest update, the OS8 is now in the public beta phase? That's why google pay is working again.
[Honor Magic V2] ambroisec14:
PLEASE HONOR DO SOMETHING I HAVE EURO VERSION AND PROBLEM WITH MICRO BLUETOOH ANFROID AUTO DONT WORK

PLEASE HELP
[Honor Magic V2] xxBrun0xx:
Agreed, this is incredibly annoying. What's more annoying is that it seems to only happen when you call someone on the same carrier as you. I spoke to someone earlier on Verizon (I have T-Mobile) and worked great. Immediately tried calling my wife (also on T-Mobile), she can't hear me. Not from my car, headphones, or galaxy watch. Sounds like it's only an issue with the global rom. If anyone knows how to get a hold of the Honor devs, this is definitely an issue we should escalate.
[Honor Magic V2] vanngoh:
My Bluetooth call (people call me) works from my car. Loud and clear.

But have not tried ear buds, watch etc. later will try..

I have been testing this bluetooth bug. We need more people testing. If you are in USA and using Magic V2 on a USA carrier network please connect to bluetooth either via headphones, earbuds, in your car and try placing calls and talking using the bluetooth connected device. Test if the end user can hear you or not.

So far I have tested Verizon to Verizon via bluetooth call = end user cannot hear me at all.

Verizon to ATT user = end user can hear call fine.

Need people to test your current carrier and calls with other people on your same carrier vs. people on other carriers and land line phones. Please report back here.
