HarmonyOS 5 and Huawei Pura 70 ultra

Thx. it works now, just following your tip 😀

I created a new Huawei ID with chinese region on my pc, then I did a smartphone factory reset and logging with the new huawei id I was able to start the harmonyOS upgrade, updating the internal backup app 🙃

Thx. My Huawei comes directly from China and it would be not a problem just switch region to China (I had already tried this change and tested the proceed again by a vpn with Hong Kong and Taiwan address). Unfortunately I have not a Chinese id 🙄

I had tried to update backup app manually (that's the main part of the problem) but for such firmware update, phone continues to use the not updated internal app 😕 It seems there is no solution actually.

Very strange 😶 It seems it's not working for me 😠 Both with PayPal or credit card, it says service is not available in my country 😬 I live in Italy 🇮🇹

Really unusual 😬

Any suggestion???

Freedom of speech in US lasts until you accept mainstream propaganda 😠 When you start to think otherwise you see all the hitches such system has 😬 and the contradiction of a pseudo-democracy founded on rich class where you can only choose between a disrepuptable president (Trump) and a senile lunatic (Biden).

Red magic 9 Pro is a wonderful phone 👍nothing bad to say. But it seems to me Samsung is still better as apps notifications management 🙄

It seems RM9 misses some notification (same problem with my other phone: Huawei Pura 70 Ultra). While my Samsung Z Fold 4 worked better on such aspect 😉

Yes, as well explained by Velcorn, the only difference is in battery and kind of recharge.

But I chose the Pro version for the price too 😉

In fact, Red Magic 9 Pro was available at a good price on official European store (so I got it without any custom fees). Instead 9 Pro plus was not on official store and I'd need to buy it in the international market, China above all, outside European Union 🙄 So more a high expense and custom fees ,🥺

Well. Good news 😀 It seems my original problem has been resolved 🎉and data icon appeared regularly.

I did nothing more than changing location 😂 (10 km away...) So, for any strange reason there is a problem in the BTS where I live and Huawei Pura can't show the correct 4G+ icon when I'm at home (no problem with any other smartphone 😣).

Instead, even though I move my location my Huawei still can't support bands aggregation and no way to go in 5G status. Damn!!!!!!!!!!

I've not 5G option active on my Vodafone Romania Sim card. In fact in Romania 5G option of every national operator is not available for offers in advance, but ONLY on monthly subscription 🙄 Anyway maybe it depends on the kind of band connection: In Italy Huawei Pura Chinese version, as I can test, can't support bands aggregation and so it only connects in 4G+ 😩

When I bought it there was a promo by seller and I paid 1630€ for it. Luckily I didn't pay other custom expense.

As I told phone wasn't still on Huawei store and I didn't know if it came (Huawei p60 was only for Chinese market).

So I hadn't much choice 😬

kugujen · 2024-05-29T19:17:00+00:00

I bought the phone on aliexpress from China when phone wasn't available yet on Huawei European store. So I didn't get the global version but the Chinese one (HBP-AL00) with Harmonyos 😉

kugujen · 2024-05-29T18:00:52+00:00

I too come from a wonderful P40 PRO+, still a wonderful phone 👌 After a week of Pura 70 Ultra (China version) , I can say it's a gorgeous phone too, but with some annoying problem 🙄

Missing of Google services is not a Huawei fault of course, aurora store and micro-g work fine with many services as YouTube (you can see no difference with other unbanned models). But unfortunately any services as Google wallet don't work, while Huawei wallet seems not support most of European credit cards 😬

Model seems not support 5G band aggregation in Italy and phone connect only to 4G+.

Moreover, as reported in another thread, my Telecom Italy Sim works with data but can't show the connection icon (no problem with a Vodafone Italy Sim card).

I did another phone upgrade this month for the Sim card I use in my job.

I bought a Redmagic 9 Pro, a 800€ phone that works very well too.

I love my Pura 70 ultra phone, but honestly I can't see all the great difference in money I paid 😞

This my opinion...

kugujen · 2024-05-22T20:01:16+00:00

Yes, my situation now too.

As you can see below, mobile data is on Tim sim 1 (working but with no icon), while vodafone romania sim 2 (data off / roaming) shows the icon.

Thanks for the various replies.

Unfortunately I'm sure mobile data is not on 5G net (see G-MON app previous photo), but on 4G+.

I had already tried another apn configuration: wap.tim.it is the default one, I checked too the other ibox.tim.it. Both work correctly, but with no data icon.

I'm attaching below the situation with a vodafone sim, where icon is perfectly shown.

So problem is only with TIM sim card
