Software Update - Slider and Functionality. - Honor Magic 2 Questions & Answers

what happened in Honor?
I don't understand Honor in these case...I was ready to buy the phone but...there is no fuctionality (apart of Yoyo) in Honor Slider!!
MIx 3 has a much better use of the slide phone, what happened in Honor?
why no one thought about the great small menu , like Xiaomi?
It is so useful for epayment, or to recall a really used app, I asked to a seller in the shop he said me "they will implement" but how this seller can know it?
I just saw there is a new update of the MAGIC UI 2.0. Someone gave a look?
I hope in the future they will implement it.....it is unbelivable.

You posted it in 3 threads now. We get it

One person send me this link, it can be useful. Here they said it will be implemented the customization of the slider...
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.poc...nce-vs.amphtml
Between the two handsets the actual motion of the sliding mechanism is too close to call – although the Xiaomi, when we saw it, was more customisable than the Honor (which, we're assured, will change via software updates).

Magic 2 use plastic cover (around screen is all plastic),
it's mean if you use protect case, the cover will scratch in short time.
(left side and right side ,, even use official case)
I don't think slide too often is good idea.

It is really nice to know. It is amazing they are keeping updating so fast...I think it is the third update in one month and then days...
Now my questions is still stronger...why I can't open a choosed app or a shortcut for payment with alipay, wechat or google pay?
If I can open the camera I should open also a menu like in Mi Mix 3 or a shortcut to pay....
Do someone has some news about it?

I just read an article about the slider of Honor Magic 2.
The article report you can customize the slider action with ADB commands.
These two commands:
adb shell settings put secure quick_slide_app_db_secure "#Intent;action=*;package=**;B.from_slide_open=true;end"
adb shell settings put secure quick_slide_app_db "#Intent;action=*;package=**;B.from_slide_open=true;end"
Where * is the action and ** is the package.
BUT The article didn't report where to find the name of these two pieces of information, I can suppose the package is the name of the apk installed.
Someone has some help?

turkey V10s are also getting the update already!
I hope this is coming to the US! Sitting here with my boring not updated tmobile version here! (of course I'm not really complaining since we're bootloader unlocked and rootable!)

Great news! Can't wait~
Hi, I updated to MM yesterday and phone works a little bit faster, more smooth on menu or setting changes.
I dont see any UI or UX changes.
Fingerprint sensor was very laggy and hard time to read and I rescanned my fingers to get it work.
Camera software is same (overall taking good pics)
Cannot say anything about battery just updated the device
Process takes long time and first I got error via LG Bridge ( For Mac ) and then tried OTA, after 3 hours I was able to connect to OTA update center.(Dont give up trying)
Knock Code is using 6 touches at least instead of 4, this really bothered me.
If I see more then I'll keep you informed guys.

Can anyone check if the update allows you to unlock previously unlockable bootloaders now?
To do so, enable developers options and enable OEM unlock (may wipe your data)

With DM verity being enabled in 6.x.x you might (don't quote me on this) loose root if you update. Up until someone makes a rooted system.

Apps look really small

Hello.
Finally received my MediaPad X2 yesterday after wasting 14 days waiting for it to arrive from Saturn (Saturn is a large Tech store here in Germany for those who aren't familiar with it). I got an email late on Friday saying that it still hadn't arrived and that it would take at least another week. Sick of waiting so I cancelled the order and immediately bought one from Ebay instead.
The device was listed as "New B-Ware" but in the description they said it was a return - ie box opened, customer didn't like the colour or whatever, and immediately returned it to the supplier. I ordered and paid for it at 16:03 on Friday - it arrived at my front door at 15:35 the following day! Absolutely unbelievable delivery speed
The phone was absolutely as described, in perfect condition and the only evidence that it was "used" was that the original box was slightly messed up from the PO removing the sticky tape when opening it. The phone is absolutely beautiful and I love it, plus I saved about €50 .
It's a GEM 701L model and came with all Google apps pre-installed & the Build Number is - GEM-701LV100R001C100B003, which from what I've read here means that it has ROM vB003 - ie quite old!
I'm now going through all the threads here trying to work out how to go about updating it to Android v6 but it's taking a while because there are so many version numbers and the guides are really confusing.
But anyway, onto my question.
I installed an app that I need for my work everyday but was shocked/surprised to see that the screen resolution is really tiny, the screen is really small. I thought these phones had a 1920x1200 display so I can't understand why this app looks like it's running at 800x600 or something?? It can't be the app itself because on my (work provided) cheap tablet that only has a 1200x780 (or something) resolution - it looks a lot better, ie I get more on the screen!
Also the web browser looks really tiny, I was expecting it to be almost the same as my laptop that has a screen size of 1920x1280. In settings -> about phone it tells me that my screen is running at 1920x1200 .
Where has all my extra screen resolution gone, and how can I get it back?
Thanks .
In Settings under the "Display", there are 2 menus that can help with this: "View Mode" and "Font Size". There is also a menu somewhere that has a per-app setting that can help you with this. You are on an older EMUI version than me so I'm sorry if the menus are slightly different than what I have quoted.
Sceen resolution can be set to 320 on KANGVIP Menu.
Just update to 5.1.1 or 6.0 and you will be able to set resulution, so that you will have what you expect.
Thanks for the replies.
Fontsize only has 3 settings and I'm already on the smallest, the other menu entry doesn't seem to exist - I'm on Android 5 maybe that's why.
Meanwhile I found an app on PlayStore that makes the fonts smaller (down to 20%!), called BigFont, and it seems to work good enough for now. Without root too, so not bad.
I actually like EMUI, it has a nice, organised look to it and I'm getting used to it. Also very impressed with Huawei software overall, there's a lot of really nice features they've included as standard (like the silent hours feature) and everything seems to work very well.
I'd love to upgrade to 6, but I'm still trying to work out how to do it safely. I've read many of the threads but they're not easy to follow or understand, and I'm scared of trashing my MediaPad! Plus I need it every day for work so I'll need to find the time first. From what I've gathered I first need to unlock the bootloader, root it, then convert it to a 703 by flashing a cust file from the 703 or something. I'm following your (AudioRalf's) thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/mediapad-x2/general/how-to-flash-rom-gem-701-702-703-t3293795
I'm working on it .

Hello Everyone.. Last week got an update for P20 Pro Indian varient. New features as said by P20 Pro in this update were HI Touch Feature, Paytm Finger Print scan support, June Security patch.....!!!
The drawbacks after update were listed below.
1. Charging Time (0 - 50%) taking 54minutes while the phone is switched off. (This is weird)
2. Scrolling (apps menu, settings, Instagram) has huge lagging.
(P20 Pro Global Issues)
Below points were raised by many USERS and they are not reaching to Huawei for corrections. Let us make publish these points together until we succeeding reaching manufacturer.
3. Captured Screenshots were unable to view full after sending to our WhatsApp contacts, To be fixed
4. Still front facing camera beauty mode not yet fix, it's over saturated
5. Slow motion video @960fps not upto the mark
6. Still no EIS for video recording at 4K
7. All the themes and wallpapers in themes app were of EMUI 8.0 only and it should be upgraded to 8.1 for compatibility to EMUI 8.1 (because wallpapers were getting zoom in while inserting to home screen)
8. Still there is no double tap on screen for screen Off/On
9. Huawei Cloud ID is not compatible in India as we can't verify our mobile due to no "India" in the list of regions.. IDIOTIC
10. Security Updates were too slow compared to other high end devices from other companies or carriers
11. Required 3 finger scroll down for screenshot instead of knuckle tap
12. Default call recording option to be added as you just given in Honor View 10.
13. EMUI to be improvised as menu icons to be customized as stock. (because many of us are not liking the big icons and of round borders)
Hope you guys supports...
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Do you really need to post exact same paragraph over few threads ?? It wont make huawei notice it faster. It only annoy other readers. You better ask a technews site to blow up the issue instead.
Im sorry but i think ur dreaming of a perfect phone. Not all issues or features can be addressed. Thats just unrealistic. We buy phones base on their brands due to their features. Each brand has its own feature. They are known cos of their features. Youre asking for a pecfect phone which doesnt exist. Better deal with the flaws and youll live happier.

EVR_AL00 – light review and heavy customization

I got the Mate 20 X from Italy, delivered two weeks after order on November 12 for € 829, VAT and 2-years warranty included. It is a nice silver device 6/128 (don’t need more memory). My first hands-on impression? I was shocked.
I had pure Chinese phones before (Huawei and Lenovo) and I know how to deal with them. That wasn’t what upset me. And it wasn’t EMUI either, I like some of its functionality and I know how to customize it.
But my previous phone was Mate 10 pro (international, not Chinese), which really works well and comparison with a newcomer is what really shocked me. The EVR_AL00 came slow and clumsy with those big fat letters and ugly ios-like icons on the screen. I tried to improve the look with increasing the smallest width in the developer options, but original resolution came back with every reset.
So what I did first, is factory reset (I usually perform it on every new phone). I lost Google Play but I didn’t care, I intended to install and adjust Google apps anyway.
And then I started to customize the phone. Basically, it means “dechinezed” and “deiosinezed” it and make it usable for my purposes as the daily driver. Eventually, I succeeded and like before I don’t regret that I bought the Chinese phone as I never regretted before. I believe that my customization demands would request almost the same amount of work and effort with the “international” version.
And with “dechinezed” I don’t mean to be impolite, actually, I like some of the features of China phones, some of them after years comes to western phones as well (night sight, close all apps etc). I just prefer the more Android look of the phone (even more than currently, Google delivers).
The actual status of my phone is as follows:
In the beginning, when I started phone manager, the performance never exceeded 69%. It seems that later it adapted and healed itself (maybe with help of AI) and now performance is usually over 90, close to 100% and the phone suddenly becomes snappy and smooth, slightly better than Mate 10 pro. As expected, the battery life is due to its capacity and with my way of use it could easily survive two days. I don’t have exact data on SOT and other parameters of the battery performance yet. By adjusting the text and display size (both too small) under settings/display the phone gets a nicer look and more usable size of applications.
I had decided to keep EMUI launcher before I learned that the phone has a hard time with other launchers. I bought Nova Prime once, I consider it a great launcher, maybe the best, but even on my previous phone I used EMUI. The reason is in its features that I don’t want to sacrifice: dedicated Accuweather, swype gestures (now with 9), dark mode. I was never a fan of ios-like white themes, I always considered that Android’s color is black. Besides, what even Google admits now (and started to return black mode into its apps accordingly), the white mode consumes a lot more energy (especially with AMOLED). What is yet to admit is that it burns your eyes.
So, what I have now, is a fully customized EVR_AL00 that perfectly suits my needs. That means that it looks like Android, works like Android and behaves like Android. I replaced most Chinese apps with Google’s ones, installed additional that I use and tune the system. With tuning the system I mean screen adjustment and customization. Under Settings/Display/text and display size, I changed both values to small and thus converted ugly appearance of the display into something that suits size and purpose of the phone. I replaced IOS icons with the Android ones. Adjusted notifications and permissions for each application.
First I was thinking about keeping some Chinese apps that I considered useful, like Sky Mobile and a few others. But trying them I found out that all of them are more or less connected either with Chinese environment or payment system and therefore eventually I removed them all. After I had to perform the factory reset I was only got more careful with apps that I disabled. And according to my orientation, I kept Email, at least until Google implements dark color in Gmail. And kept useful utilities: (Manager, Gallery, Remote…).
Otherwise, I use Google Phone (the amazing last beta from: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218, thank you Martin), Messages, Translate (removed nonfunctional MS Translate), Auto, Duo, Voice, Photos, Trips, Pay, Assistant, Lens, Google, Chrome, and of course all Google system apps. I also use third-party apps like VLC, Xiaomi calculator and YouTube vanced. Pretty much everything works as expected, including notifications to the extent that suits my way of use. After I erased Hivoice, Assistant works together with the hot word, if the screen is turned on (never wished to use it from turned off screen). The red mic on notification bar of the attached picture shows that assistant is active.
All banks application work. Google Play is not working at the moment but I expect that it will eventually. Currently, failure is the result of poor synchronization between Chinese EMUI and Google Android. No point to call the bank, it is the last one to solve the problem. The problem will be solved with the new EMUI or Play Services, because there is no material obstacle for G Play (SafetyNet passed and bank card is recognized and could be used online). I have another identical payment system installed (Inteso SP) and it works flawlessly.
CUSTOMIZATION
In order to adapt the phone to my needs, I had to deal with existing Chinese application first. I had to either: 1) remove them, 2) hide them, or 3) disable (erase) them.
Removing apps
Removing apps was easy. Just uninstall Chinese in Settings/Apps. As I said, I did it thoroughly and indiscriminately.
Hiding apps
My overall objective is to have only one home screen page. I’m fed up with slippery pages interfering with gestures. And besides, I decided to use gestures (swype) as system navigation and therefore swyping between homepages could be annoying even more.
In order to have only one home page, I have to use folders and hide auxiliary functional apps (like download, OTA, backup, clock..etc).
Surprisingly I found that Tweaker for Huawei works pretty well with EMUI9, although it is an old application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teammt.gmanrainy.emuitweaker&hl=en. One of its functions is triggering the abandoned EMUI gesture that enables hiding any application and thus removing it from the home screen without affecting its functionality.
Disabling (erasing) apps
To “remove” any nonremovable application without root you need a computer with the adb command-line tool. In fact, this method never removes any application, rather disables and hides it for the current user. So it doesn’t affect OTA and it doesn’t revert after reset either. It does come back after factory reset though.
The method of erasing an app works through adb (so adb must be installed on the computer – either Windows or Linux) and it requests the following syntax in command line:
1. adb devices (and after that setting permission on the phone)
2. adb shell
3. pm unistall -k --user 0 <package name>
where <package name> is not the name of the application as it shows but the name of the installed package, which must be discovered and one of the apps which could do that effectively could be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.itto.packageinspector&hl=en.
(for example: pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.huawei.wallet)
A basic idea what to disable could be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-10/how-to/guide-to-remove-apps-root-t3828324. Of course, what to disable always depends on personal preferences and therefore this list should be taken with a grain of salt.
So, after arranging applications there comes the final stage of making the phone Android again. EMUI makeover. For that, we need this EMUI editor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixapplications.themeeditor.
But there is a bad news. It doesn’t work with EMUI 9 (yet). What now? There are two possibilities: either finding a good theme and simply installing it (there are plenty of them, only I didn’t test if they are working with EMUI 9 (some of the android likes are to be found in the Playstore under Hamzio7 or here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/themes/pure-black-theme-emui-8-t3719904.
The other possibility is to find a phone with EMUI 8 and compile the hwt file there and transfer it to Mate 20 X. That is what I did. The system will warn you that it is an old version of the theme and it might not work well but skip that. It works just fine.
Don’t judge the solution by my design. I’m a modest guy, more practically oriented. You may have almost any design that you wish.
And of course, if you decide to experiment with this stuff yourself, you should be aware that you are the only one taking the risk. I honestly believe that you can’t, if you are not extremely innovative, irretrievably destroy anything, but even factory reset might be sometimes really annoying.
Good luck with your brand new Chinese Mate 20 X.
Great post Just a couple of questions:
1) Are your notifications working perfectly? By that, I mean without delay under both wi-fi and mobile networks, with screen on and screen off? If so, what did you do to achieve this?
2) Do you mind sharing where did you buy the device from?
Nice job! Looking even more forward to the arrival of my Mate 20 X!
@piskr
Would you mind give some steps to get google phone and Messages to work properly. When phone call comes in, my phone call screen does not come on. Messages only works sometime and sometime message does not send. Thanks.

1) Yes, notifications work flawlessly in my extent of use, both with the screen on and off. I don't use exotics like telegram or whatsapp though. It's a matter of permissions and notification settings. Be aware that each notification had to be set separately and checked under application and under notification sector under settings. And also have in mind that if you install the third party phone, it is just addition of original phone (under app/system processes), and the later must remain active and has its own permissions and notification as well. Phone app has different system structure than SMS. You can simply erase Huawei messaging and replace it with the Google one (haven't tried others).
2) You can find here both color and memory variants: https://www.ilmultistoredelzazza.eu...l_Sim_EMUI_9_Android_9/p1748191_19236868.aspx

You should really carefully check and set both permissions and notifications for each application. And remember that you mustn't neglect the system phone app.

You do know there's an EVR-L international models, right? Why not just get that instead? That's what I have.

It's too late. I already bought the China version. It's too much hassle try to sell it.

That's right, the last one is Google phone from the link I published and it works just fine (I really recommend it, it has so many opportunities). But you have managed to get notifications neither on the home screen nor on the lock screen? Neither for messages nor for the phone? If I were you I would go from setting to setting for this two apps and inspect every item very carefully. It is possible in this early stage of EMUI9 that it has some weird glitches occurring randomly on some phones but it is not very likely. A small overlooked detail in settings could mean everything.
Otherwise, I don't regret that I bought the Chinese version. Now I've got everything that I would have with the international variant. Only I don't have working Google pay yet, but so far I haven't seen a clear statement that it really works on international Mate 20x either. To work means to be able pay with the phone not only loading a card, that's what I did too. Otherwise, I got a good price (€660 before VAT), integrated call recorder and rooting opportunity.
And regarding crap, international one has it too. I've got international Mate 10 pro and I know it. Besides Chinese one additional western, baked in (MS, Facebook, Google's and third party's).

The phone will ring on the google phone app but the screen does not come. I will play with the settings and figure it out. Thanks for all the help.
Thank you. This helped get me to a non-Chinese specifc phone.
Attachin my ADB run.
UPDATE: Please check out AJ's great thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/guide-remove-apps-adb-t3870727
I mistakenly removed one item (com.huawei.android.hwouc) I shouldn't have and I amnot getting OTAs (which I also turn off automatic ones in dev options, but if I want one, I lost it them).

As I'm not well schooled on ADB. How would you apply this? And why 2 Zips? Gracias
See beginning of the thread and other threads on ADB. Same list, mine in txt or zip, same file, not necessarily good for everyone.

Here's my Spreadsheet with a quick guide in it along with the adb files you'll need.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-x/how-to/guide-remove-apps-adb-t3870727
Once you get the list of packages on your AL00 just run the fastboot command to remove each one.

I got it working. I am using the stable v.25 version. What I did was after selected the google phone as default dialing app, I go back to default apps and click the stock phone and then click the google phone again. I did this by chance and luck. Hope this will solve your issue. The stock phone app is horrible. Make sure you use the stable version. Good luck.

Red Magic Support closed !!!!

Hi,
Not even two months after device was released, it seems that the Support page for the Gobal devices is closed !
When I click on the "Support" on the redmagic.gg homepage, I am taken to a new page that says : "This support site doesn't exist anymore"...
That looks really promising !
So to sum it up :
- Specs announced : brilliant ;
- Global ROM : disaster ;
- Updates to expect : none => the ones given do no apply to the end ;
- Since 2 days no more ability to transfer files over USB ;
- Support site closed...
This device is a pure waste of money.
As a lawyer I'll ask them where they are located and I'll sue them unless they give back support or refund.
Regards.
Wow, i hope This is just a "fail" with the Support Center. If not i will refund also. Could You give us Information what You do now?
Sadly im over the 14 Days..
But is There another way to get refund?
"Oops! This help centre no longer exists
The company you're looking for is no longer using our help centre. We suggest reaching out to them directly via their official website."
I suppose they are switching the support centre, which is a good thing, since support was a joke .
Regarding the global rom being a disaster, the updates not coming ( I just received one ) or the usb not working ( it does for me ) I disagree with you.

Hi,
Sorry, but it is not.
They're talking about their support MAIL server.
What happens when you click on "Support" on the redmagic.gg page ?
For me it's : "Sorry, this support service is not available anymore".
Regards.
When I click the support icon it opens my facebook messenger...

Hi,
Here is the thing for me (my own point of view).
The Global ROM lacks a lot of features you may expect from such a device.
Among other things :
- working dark mode ;
- gesture navigation ;
- always on display ;
- immersive mode (the one here just displays 3 lines in Chinese...) ;
- app lock / persistent apps in Recents ;
- front LED control...
I think all those can be considered as "must-have".
And funny thing is, Chinese ROM has some of them...
Some of the features can be added by installing apps from the Play Store, but most of those require a rooted device.
But if the device is rooted, it seems you won't be able to apply the updates
Speaking of updates : there has been one update.
But if I lok at the changelog, it seems they're focusing on... I could not really determine on what.
But certainly not on adding the missing features everyone is complaining about in the threads here.
But OK, we've had one update... How many others will we get ? And will they gring us the missing features ?
I could do with just ONE addition : the App-lock in recents to make the app persistent.
Of course, you can consider that the ROM is superb : a stripped bare AOSP that allows you to customise to your likings, with 0 bloatware and 0 uneccessary features.
I agree about the USB cable... It stopped working for some reason yesterday. It reworks now. What happened ? That will remain a mystery...
Then about support :
- did you ask them one question ?
- if so, did you get an answer ?
- how long did it take to get an answer ?
- can you access the support page from the official webpage (redmagic.gg) ?
- can you download the Europe/UK version of the ROM ?
I am sorry to say that I am not confident at all that we may have regular updates. And ZTE's reputation in the area is a hard one
Regards.
I would love to have proper dark mode on my phone.
Also, official AOD would be nice, as the AOD apps from the store can't compare with the official AOD of my previous phone ( Samsung S10+ ).
Locking an app in recent is a normal thing, I don't know why it's missing.
Support, as I said, is inexistent. I sent a couple of questions to them and realised from the answer they haven't even undestood me ( probably using Google translate eng - chinese ).
Weirdly, apart from these issues, I love the phone, its build quality, its speed...
And receiving 1 update in 1 month of ownership is something...

Hi,
Well, all I have mentioned except the locking app in Recents can be added if your phone is unlocked and rooted.
There's even an AOD Theme for Substratum, and it looks like it doesn't eat up too much battery as the apps from the app store do...
But there is one problem doint things this way.
Most of the apps used need to be enabled in "Accessibility" settings.
So if you can't pin the apps in Recents, deleting all recents just disables all those from accessibility.
So you may loose the dark mode from substratum... but you also may loose any navigation ability !
To be honest : if they could add the app lock in recents (that already is there in the Chinese ROM), I could live with all the limitations...
Good for us : it has 8GB RAM, so even with a lot of apps listed in Recents we're go short on memory.
Regards.

You can easily fix your problem
You have to install your app as system app
System apps won't die or close when you kill them in recent app
You can download application called "link2sd"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD
You must have root access
Open the application and press and hold on any application you want and press convert to system app
And then reboot
Your application won't die at all and the accessibility menu wont rest
Hi,
Thanks for your advice...
I've tried it and.... IT WORKS !!!!
I think I can now use this device exactly as I want... and will NOT send it back
Regards.

Ur welcome ?
@NexusPenguin,
By reading all your posts,it seems that you're quite frustrated about your purchase,and I'm sorry to see you're so dissapointed...
But this device is primary aimed for gamers,and @ this price point,Nubia had to make concessions.....
TBH,for getting all bells and whistless,people should buy a REAL flagship,not a -500$ phone and then expect the same behavior of it as a +1000$ machine.........

Hi @roadworker,
Sorry, but I do not understand what you're saying.
I am not complaining about the hardware, but about the software.
And what I am asking about does really not seem extraodinary to me !
Navigation gestures ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => Chinese ROM has it, not global. Why ?
Lock apps in recent ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => Chinese ROM has it, not global. Why ?
Immersive mode ? Is that extravagant ? I think not. It is even expected in the Global ROM. But what do we have ? 2 lines of chinese...
Working dark mode ? Is that extravagant ? I think not => it is there but is not working.
A support page that actually shows up on the website ? Is taht extravagant ? I think not. It used to be there... Now it is gone.
I think those features SHOULD BE INCLUDED ESPECIALLY IN A GAMING PHONE...
Gestures to hide navigation bar ; theming of phone to make is "cooler gamer" ; locking gaming apps so they launch more quickly ?
So your argument is not relevant at all to me...
Regards.
easy fix for the problem:
go to Settings > System > Advanced > disable Deep process clean.
you're welcome

Hi,
Will try that. If that works, that is super cool
Regards.
EDIT : done it. It seems it is working : thanks so much... Love for the phone beginning to come back... Even better : rooted phone + stripped AOSP = customize exactly as you wish it.
A lawyer should know better
If your a lawyer, I feel sorry for your clients...
There should be an established process with your bank to reverse a charge and a consumer protection agency for you to be able to return a product.
However, Red Magic have stated via Twitter and Blog that they have lost their Support system. That is a bad thing, and probably shouldn't happen to a big company but they have said it has.
https://global.redmagic.gg/blogs/news/update-on-support-07-01-support-is-back-up
If you raise a new call on the system you would probably get a better response. I would imagine they also lost self service and probably have not realised it is still down.

What does " Deep Process Clean" do? is it aggressive ram management?

Something like that.
With deep process clean on I wasn't receiving any WhatsApp or Outlook notifications.
For those who are not happy with the bare Android experience and for example,about the lack of gestures and immersive mode,check out the apps of Manuel Wrage @ Google Play......
