Question Stuttering Issues on Just-Recived Red Magic Pro 7 - Nubia Red Magic 7 Pro

Fired the phone up to find even the simplest games (Candy Crush!) freeze for a second over and over (audio, also) while playing, never mind even trying to load Genshin Impact. Reset twice and still the same. It even affects YouTube vidoes, hell, ANY video. Red Magic US Canada site is wonky and very difficult to get hold of someone or even a return form. Anyone else having this problem?

With gaming performance I don't have any issue and no stuttering at all. Are you running the game with game space switch on?
What is btw your software version here in Europe it's NX709J_EUcommon_V4.08

Yes, Game Space, everything. Even videos stall. I think I just got a bad one, but getting hold of soemone to return is a nightmare. Hmmm...my version is NX709J_UNcommon_V3.08 with no option to upgrade.

hmm kinda weird i hope they provide the full rom for Global version on the site. or maybe a update with some fixes but we already know that the software support on redmagic phones are bad.

I THINK I finally figured it out. Once you set everything up and update apps, there is ANOTHER prompt to Finish Setting Up Your RedMagic Pro 7. If you hit that, it really doesn't do anything other than says it's finishing up, and after it's done THAT's when the stuttering begins on videos and games. Unfortunately, the prompt keeps popping up daily, which you can dismiss but only for the day, as it rears its head the next day. Anyway, working fine now and I really like the phone. But beware, good luck getting anything other than canned responses from the Nubia support line. I kept insisting I wanted to return the phone and they kept asking additional questions about the make/model, etc. which was just going to continue until the 2-week return period was up. If anyone discovers a way to delete this prompt, please let me know.

Have you tried updating the phones the firmware on the site is newer version.
You can download the zip file on your phone and update the phone using the local software update mode.
Maybe you can clear the cache of the Google apps.
For me the Google play store system update is stuck on December update for now.

I've cleared the cache on just about everything. Stupid question, but where can I find the firmware version on my phone? I dont see it anywhere under About Phone

Go to system update and you will see the region and the version .

i had this same problem on my redmagic 7. I posted a youtube video that i had to show to the redmagic repair. I ended up sending it back for a refund and getting the redmagic 7 pro.

I finally figured it out, after the setup, it came back with a "Finish setting Up Your Phone" prompt, which caused the stuttering after reboot. There was nothing else to set up anyway, so I reinstalled, ignored the prompt and disabled the Android Set-Up function, buried somewhere deep. It worked and since the recent updates have had no problem whatsoever. Nubia help is awful they just keep repeating things and telling me they're working on it.

Blah Blah??? Seriously????
I'm going through with the update regardless
EDIT: Update unsuccessful. Tried manually checking for updates and it said I am up to date with 2638. Guess they were just testing the deployment.
I did the same thing as you but manually, and I got the same thing! I think the guys at viewsonic was testing the update app and what not to see if it would pick up information so that it will either automatically download this new update or manually allow the user to update it. I like there test msg information "Blah Blah". Now when I check it says you have updated software, guess at midnight we will see!!!!
At least it's being tested. I half expect them to delay this again.

Haha, that's awesome. From a dev standpoint, I understand where those "blah blah" sort of test messages come from.. Now, the fact that they tested it live in production with that message..
they're testing the distribution of the update. thats a good sign.
has anyone given them a call yet today?
And Pocketgear hasn't updated their website to reflect Viewsonic as a selectable device.
I'm trying to hold out from calling them for at least a few hours --
I think they have my phone number listed on their wall.... "don't answer if this guy calls!"

At least one person here got svn #13 on Thursday night. That tells me that they have no UAT environment, they test live in production as you mentioned.
I haven't got anything yet. I'm connected to wifi at startup and this is what it says:
Current Version: Flextronics/harmony/harmony/:2.2/FRF91/hudson-20101023-135552-TnT_SVN_2638:user/testkeys
I have not modified it yet.
5 minutes after I posted this, I clicked on the Tap UI and it started to update for about a minute but then got an error saying network unavailable even though I was connected. Could it be their network it was referring too?
Update
I just picked my g tab up this past weekend. It is still stock as I heard there was an update coming and wanted to wait to see what it would be.
I powered the device on today and the first time it connected via the tap download app. It looked as if it was preparing to download then my wife would cut out and there would be an error saying it attempted the max 3 times. I reset the device and wife and tried again, this time said it was up to date.
Called G tab support and they had me do a factory reset (no biggie, nothing saved yet) and then had me switch the wifi sleep to never and display timeout to never. Tried again and got same error. They said this has been happening and that it may take some time today for it to go through correctly. Just an update
Getting the same max try error as the poster above. If someone gets it, (pretty) please post the update.zip file (assuming that's what it is) that you get.

If it's anything like the last update, I don't think there will be an update.zip to get. You just get a notice that it's available, click on download, install it, and reboot.
I'm not getting any feedback. I click on Tap UI update and it just tells me it's up to date.

Yeah, but it has to download something, so we're wondering what the actual process is.
My guess is that it pushes down an update.zip, does a checksum at the end to ensure its not corrupt, then reboots you into recovery to run it (and probably delete it at the end). Again, just a guess.

I agree. I just don't recall finding anything on mine during the last update. Over course, I was in the process of a couple different mods after, since it didn't really fix anything for me, and I could have easily overlooked it. I'll pay more attention this time for sure.
sidebar: I'm sure at some point the Pocketgear store will require some sort of registration. So I went ahead and registered an account so that much was already setup when I do finally get the update. Viewsonic is still not listed as a supported device though.
Okay I spoke to CS (not too crappy relatively speaking) and they were not helpful. The CS rep said they do not plan on posting any file for manual updates. He suggested I just keep trying (sigh). I asked him to please post the file, he said there was discussion with devs re this issue.
I asked him about a changelog and he said there would be: a new new UI update program (yeah), some new apps like facebook and kindle, fixes to weather/news and time (real yeah!), app program for "Handango" (interesting change there), and perhaps some other tidbits. I asked him to please post that somewhere so I could refer back to it. He said he would look into it.
allegedly it is going out and some units have already gotten it - at least as per CS. As to how the TnT updater decides on which devices need it, I don't know.
If anyone actually gets this update, please advise the group. So far I've seen zip -- nada -- nothing.
EDIT: I know CS is probably watching this thread - you'll be getting a call at 5PM ET if my device is not updated, and this time I'm not going to be a happy customer. Please get these TnT developers to push this out already, we've been waiting since Friday.
I didn't bring the G to work. I'll probably flash back to stock tonight and see if I can get the update and see how big of an improvement it makes. I'm still deciding if I'm going to keep this or take it back...
Just fired my gtablet up about 1pm Central time. No update yet. I am 100% stock.

[Q] Play store error RPC:S-7:AEC-0

I got my OnePlus one yesterday and all was good, installed a few apps from the playstore.
Then I updated play services and some firmware updates and get a 'RPC:S-7:AEC-0' error when I tried to install/update apps.
I've tried all the usual fixes, clearing data, removing accounts and rebooting and even a factory reset.
Still can't download any apps
Any ideas?

Same here! On my galaxy tab tab 10.1 and my galaxy S4.. Can not update or install apps anymore!
I got a notification saying my Play store services was out of date. Since you have a Galaxy Tab it probably isn't the firmware updates, did you get the same thing?
Same error on all my devices (Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S III, Onda V975m). I think, it's server bug
I'm chatting with a guy from Play customer services. When I told him I had a OnePlus One he asked me if that was an Android phone
Same issue here on my Note 3 and Nexus 7 (and OnePlus). Get ready because it may be a while. Took over two months when it happened to me back in January of this year. Nothing works. Just something from Google's server side. Don't even waste your time taking steps to try and correct it, has to come from their end. Hopefully it's faster than two months this time.

They never explained it to me. Just one day it started working about a week after I filed a BBB complaint. All they said when it started happening was something with their servers on certain Google accounts.
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem since yesterday on my Note 3 and Nexus 7, I have tried everything new firmware, delete cache and data from play store and services framework, sign out and sign in and several other things but nothing seems to work. I hope they fix it soon

Nothing will work. You can try everything you can think of, but the fix is going to have to come from Google server side. All you're going to do is get frustrated. I can't tell you how many times I waned to throw my phone out the window when this happened to me earlier this year. We'll just have to wait and try and keep calm, lol.

I have this same issue with my Nexus 5, Nexus 7, and the web store. My account is effectively cut off from the Android ecosystem at this point. This freaking sucks.
Eescalation ticket - Error rpc.s-7.aec-0

I've contacted Google here in the Netherlands and they made an escalation ticket.

Alternatively, open your Play Store, press menu, then select "help". There will be a "contact us" option in the top right. (For US users anyhow. Not sure for other regions) You can request to have them call you.

I have a ticket raised as well. The customer service rep asked me to send some screen shots of the issue, we'll see what happens.
Same here on all my devices.
It sucks; I reset and install an fresh rom ... I have no app now .... Grrrr
I have this on my GNote 2 (Verizon) as of last night; never heard of it before and the dearth of information on the internet indicates it is a pretty obscure problem. I have my phone backed up via TiBu, so I am not too fraught. Support had me factory reset the phone, no dice -- even other accounts can't instal anything.
Left with a phone with no apps, I activated an old iPhone 4s that was one of my kids before the last round of hand me downs. Surprisingly not awful, but the screen is a postage stamp. Boy, do I miss 4G.

HELP! I think my phone is being remotely controlled by hacker

I've been having some weird things going on with my phone. I don't know if it is me just being paranoid or if someone is really controlling and spying on my phone. Two days ago I started running DroidSheepGuard bc I was having issues mapping the IP addresses on my network. Using Fing was only showing me half of the IPs, something just wasnt right. I had droidsheepguard alert me 4 times in the past 2 days so I started running a logcat and was wondering if some of the things I have been seeing is normal or not.

These are just a few things I see (no particular order) that caught my attention. I will post some screenshots soon. How could I ensure that my phone is not being remotely controlled. What are the best measures to take to ensure I am safe? Thank you in advance, I may just be really paranoid but I'd like to be sure.

I saw two things that convince me you are being hacked from Ork. The cracked screen acts as a long range interstellar antenna powered by dirty fingernails.
What is Ork? And dirty fingernails? Are you being sarcastic? Do you really see anything? I've had a lot of weird stuff goin on and I don't know what it is. Even typing this message is very difficult when it shouldn't be. I don't ask for much help but I could really use some advice
@Ramer, Out of everyone on here your one of the most helpful people I've came across, please help me solve this. I have had really strange things happen. This isn't just happening on my s5, I also have a stupid iphone, and my brand new laptop that has issues. The other day I flashed a new rom (4x) and when it booted up I didnt sync my email or any account, I didnt connect to wifi, I immediately ran the catlog app which I had exported the apk so I could quickly instal it without google play. I noticed something strange and powered it down, as its in the close out boot animation I get a call on my iphone from my droid. Keep in mind I don't have a single number in my contact list, so unless it randomly just called the exact number for my iphone which I don't see as possible (out of every number in the world to call on accident, the one sitting right next to me?) something is going on. I have disabled wifi, 3g and mobile data, it STILL does strange stuff. I have removed system apps that come back, I've even battled with this thing while removing that "Ant" app, it put it right back when I uninstalled it. I've had this thing slow down my text messages and right before I click the next key to spell the word out, I can see a symbol pop up (like a transparent symbol behind the key I am trying to hit) . I get pop up messeges that tell me I am roaming when I'm at my house all the time, I try not to push anything and restart my phone but they keep coming...Awhile ago this happened and I flashed the firmware my phone came with, I think it was 4.4.2, then I manually flashed the 5.0 lp and rooted, still there. I have replaced my router twice, got any old device off my network, and got a new laptop...My iphone does similar stuff, theres way more background data that runs than foreground data, my iphone says its location is coming from Atlanta, I'm in NC.

I'm sorry, I don't have a clue. I was being a bit of a smart *** earlier, it's was hard to resist. Honestly, the only solution would be a complete wipe including internal and external SD. I don't think anyone will have a solution, which is why your posts went unanswered.
I think you are too paranoid. I think if you are that concerned, you should run unrooted stock. I can't answer all your questions, but i have had uninstalled programs install on reboot on a deodex rom. I have no idea why this happens but I'm not worried. I sometimes an roaming at home too. I figured it is because the signal isn't so good.

ColorOS13 PSA --- Update << This PSA only is relevant for UK users - OP modified

** Removed the initial message as that has been pulled by Oppo **
So i'm leaving the main updates here but the bottom line is this thread now only really applies to the UK region.
Update: 15:00 BST
People working with the tech team to establish what's wrong with os13. They don't believe that there's any risk to your phones or data.
Update 15:09 BST

Update 15:18 BST
I've been told that there's some incompatibility issues with the OS which could cause some apps to stop working. They believe at the moment that reinstalling the app will workaround the issue for now
They'll release an updated OS as soon as they can
Update 0926 BST (16/09/22)
Just spoken to the Oppo social rep on messenger and they've informed me that this message really only applies to UK customers.
The team have identified a few minor issues which can cause compatibility issues with some app which they wish to address. In response to this they have withdrawn the update from their side for UK region customers.
Other global customers can proceed with the update as they wish.
Yeah, I saw this about 2 hours after upgrading from the beta to the unstable stable!

Yeah not encountered anything yet all the little annoyances from the beta seem fixed.
Though I still need to do a full wipe on my phone because of going up a major version of Android from 12 to Beta and Beta to Stable
Doesn't sound too critical a problem but hang fire if you can is the advice.
Please check the OP -- updated as i learned more

Ah ok nothing major then thankfully.
I'll be Factory Resetting so it should negate this issue anyways as I always manually re-install apps a fresh rather than bring data with them
If I see any issues, I will either factory reset or just try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps that crash!
Hello, I don't know if the same thing happens to someone else, but in the official version the button to activate the automatic brightness has disappeared, in the Beta it was there and now it isn't. The curious thing is that in Android 12 it wasn't there either, it appeared when installing the beta version of android 13.
I don't have the automatic brightness button either.
I guess it's incompatibility with some UK carrier apps or configs then.
I guess this is why I downloaded the 2.6gb update and then it disappeared into the ether when it asked me to install.

Could I ask where you downloaded this from ?
Version C.37 is now available -- i used a vpn and downloaded via france using phone update system
The Photos app has been crashing since the 13 update. I've been trying to delete a couple of photos and the app crashes each time, I can't reinstall it, as it's part of the OS. This is actually a major issue for me, it's one of my most-used apps. It might have been nice to get a heads-up not to install the update. Shutting down and restarting do not help.

Only got the device yesterday and upgraded to android 13 factory reset and transferred over. Just checked and can confirm no issues deleting from default gallery here.
I know it's a pita but maybe a reset and restore given the Android upgrade.

I've just stumbled on a fix - I'd tried a forced stop of the gallery app and that did nothing, so I thought I'd try deleting the pix with Google Photos. Same issue, repeatedly crashed. So I tried a forced stop on that app and bingo - THAT worked. Phew. Photos finally deleted and the default app is working normally.
Thanks for your reply.

Question Random restarts. Sometimes repeatedly.

I have random restarts on my Galaxy A32 5G (T Mobile). Running it stock. No mods at all.
Sometimes they get bad and basically boot loop the phone for a while before it stabilizes.
I am sure it's software because a factory reset fixed it for 8 days. Ran flawlessly. Then the problem came back. I have to think if it was hardware that this wouldn't have helped.
I think it's something corrupted in the stock ROM because the problem occurred when I booted to safe mode with only system files running.
Can I reflash the stock ROM in ODIN without the bootloader being unlocked? I know you can't do that if you are changing the partition. But I'm not sure if overwriting it with the same partition info counts as changing it. What about downgrading to the previous build? It's been a few years since I modded a phone. I am starting to forget the rules.
I'm open to other suggestions as well. Specifically what happens is the data connection doesn't work suddenly. Websites load to "Sorry, you are offline" errors. Then apps won't open at all. Or they force close immediately (All apps. CAn't even load settings) Then the phone shuts off (doesn't power down, just goes to black as if a thermal protection was triggered) And it reboots. Then it will repeat this process for an hour or two just boot looping and force shutting down until eventually it will boot properly and be somewhat stable for a day or two.
Any thoughts?
I tried the basic stuff. I freed up internal memory. I factory reset it. I cleared the cache is the bootloader and did the repair apps function. I uninstalled everything I could live without for a few days. The problem seems random. It's not when using a certain app. ONce in a while it'll do it just being in my pocket.
I did notice that the Opera Browser comments on Google Play have a bunch of people complaining that the apps doesn't work with their A32 phones and causes shut downs. I don't think it's the Operar Browser because I had the shut down in Safe Mode. But other people seem to be having the issue.
Start in safe mode, if runs ok it was something you installed. You are what you load...

Did that. Still got a random restart in safe mode.
I still think it's software. I just think it's a corrupted system file. Hence wanting to redo the system ROM.
I have no idea how to identify and isolate a system file in a non rooted phone.

It's possible. That's a serious problem. Is there a memory leak showing? Any resent updates?
Try a factory reset but don't load anything.
How can I check on a memory leak? I used to know how to do that on a rooted rom. But on a stock one....none of the fun apps I used to use work

Nothing looks weird right now in memory.
I will jump right to that the next time it starts a ring funky and see if something looks wrong then.

Memory leaks are very rare on Androids. Never saw one. That would probably crash it though.
The real question is if I can reflash the stock rom using Odin when my bootloader is NOT unlocked.
If there is a corrupted system file that should fix it. But with the bootloader locked I don't know if trying that will brick it.
If only there was a new update coming soon that with OTA fix it...
Stock version is ok to flash... unless it powers off during the flash.
A Samsung Experience center at best buy can do reflashes and allegedly have advanced diagnostic tools.
One way corruption can occur. If it flips a critical bit of data it can cause real mischief. There is no damage however to the hardware. I keep my phone far away from any ionizing radiation sources ie X-rays, CATs etc. because of this. The energy potential is probably too low but it may occasionally be enough to cause a SEU.
I'm getting a Serious software issue detected on start up.
I reflashed the stock rom....same one I had. And the issue persists. The reboots persist.
When it gets bad no apps open. Every app will force close on launch. Then it reboots. Ussually stuck in a boot/force reboot loop for 10-15 minutes until it finally loads stable. Then it might be good for a minute. Then it'll restart the loop.
Reflashing the stock rom didn't fix it. Next I'm going to try to downgrade it to the previous build. I don't know if I can even do that with a locked bootloaded but we'll see.
