Is it possible to have the full screen always on display as I can't find the option to change it

@changegames8572 22 күн бұрын

I have 2 question about the force Landscape, Can you do horizontal splitscreen in this new update? Can you check in Developers option if they still dont allow Free Form Windows? This is for allowing resizing the floating windows. This is a key feature missing in this phone.

@JMTMarc 21 күн бұрын

Hey there! Horizontal split is possible, so is resizing of floating windows (without having to enable anything in developer settings).

hey, thank you for the video! Is it any info about "double click on home button" function? It would be great to configure the home button double click to start the camera app. (Or any other way for a quick photo would be nice.)

@JMTMarc 6 күн бұрын

Unfortunately thats still not possible. The camera can be launched by double pressing the volume down button. It's called Quick Launch in the settings.

At 6min 48, before, when using splitscreen, choosing an app will consume half of the screen and list of apps will be shown on the right side for you to choose, but now it slide all the way to inner left screen just like on your vid. Did they change that? Or is there a setting that can change the way it behaves?

@JMTMarc 8 күн бұрын

It depends on how you trigger split screen view. When you use a gesture, it will behave like I showed in the video.

@voltevangelista 7 күн бұрын

@JMTMarc mine behaves the same. Whether i use gesture or the one where you have to choose split,fullscreen or floating. It always slide at the inner left. Before it wasn't though.

I would like to ask about the phone overall as I'm trying to buy one but still confused which one to get. I really like the V2 also the magic 6 pro. Please let me know your opinions?

@JMTMarc 8 күн бұрын

I love both the V2 and the 6 Pro. If camera an durability are very impor for you, consider the 6 Pro. However the is so special with its thin design and now it also has some features that before only the 6 had, like magic capsule and magic portal.

Hi... how do we rearrange the apps alphabetically in the home screen and autofill the gaps without manually dragging the icons?

hey JMT, thank you so much for your review videos and especially videos like these. I really appreciate them. with regards to the Honor magic V2, I had previously purchased one but fairly quickly returned it because it would not support a game I play going into horizontal split screen sadly. however, your portion of the video at 7:15 has me very curious if this is the update that I needed to be able to horizontally split screen the app with KZfaq for example. would you be kind enough to check out opening KZfaq and the game for me? the app of the game is called old school runescape. I would be very curious to see if it comes up as an option in that settings menu from that portion of your video and if it can be horizontally split screened like so. I would seriously appreciate you checking this out for me, I will literally buy the device back if it can do this. thank you very much!

I'm disappointed with this OS8 release. Honor has removed Network Neighbourhood from the files app in recent releases meaning you can no longer share files across the network. Annoying as I have an old Magic 5 lite that has this feature and makes my V2 seem crippled. Furthermore the Video editing has also taken a big step backwards as you cannot add more than one line of edits at the same time, eh only one text box and nothing else. Again phones from years ago from Huawei/Honor could do this just fine. Still no APTX Lossless support either and not a single decent actual AI feature for editing photos or adding effects. This device feels way behind Samsung and OnePlus Open. The on screen track pad also doesn't work with Kodi properly when displaying on an external screen. Still buggy as hell.

No phone is perfect... That's just how it is. It also depends a lot on the specific use cases.

@@JMTMarc go back a few years and Huawei were making almost perfect devices. Mate 20X had software in 2018 that's almost identical to what this is running in 2024. In fact in video editing it did more. I still have it. Even the screen is bigger when watching a movie in landscape in 16x9.

I would love to see a dirt/water test resistance since it doesn't have IP rating but I believe can handle a few drops of rain or some dust. Be careful though to use the case that comes with the phone. I find that little scratches on the exterior screen when you unfold and fold the phone since the part that covers the hinge rubs against the the exterior screen. Other than that, amazing device! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely! I mostly use it caseless, since I just love the form factor. Thanks for the advice 😃
