I rest my case with Nubia! They keep sending me the same respond over and over again.

Hello, sorry for the inconvenience, do you need repair, if you need repair, you can send it to our service center, please confirm when it is convenient to pick up?"

I've heard that there's a costume ROM build somewhere in the forum! But I'm not able to find it? just found the kernel mod?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers

What are you talking about? Its a thread on software issues no ? I was pointing out the poor translation in the RM5G OS rom. I dont remember pointing at you in my 1st statement. ???
Damn than its my fault looking at you thinking of you pointing at my English LoL ??.
My apologies for you and hope there's no harm done ???

I still get a very annoying issue regarding the keyboard.
When I use the japanese keyboard it sometimes switches to katakana only but not normal katakana, they are very small and crammed together. Feels like a huge bug. Don't know the cause or what it triggers but restart helps. Still annoying bug. Mainly noticed while using LINE.

Omg i can't believe this phone has all these issues, does anyone know if the 5s is also having all these issues?
I'd be a new customer if it doesn't, otherwise i'd just stop dreaming about getting this phone, i was about to buy right away but reading all this makes me not wanting it anymore unless the 5s has their software issues solved.
Please if you now something about it, post it below

The issues you are reading most of them Are already solved the last issues which exist are 5g issues in USA but if you have such hopes for a 600dollars phone in this market then it would be a good idea to get some other device.

Man, i've been reading issues on Asus Rog 3, Legion phone pro, Black shark 3, Oneplus 8 pro, most of them have battery draining issues, heating issues, some have display issues, some other wontbe able to update to new Android softwares, some others their display turns black and cant do anything, some others have issues with some games, some others wont have 3.5mm headphones jack which makes you use bluetooth headphones which drains battery faster, some others have connectivity issues (WIFI). So far the Red Magic is the best at least it doesnt have those issues which affects gaming, the issues that Red Magic has are not involved to the gaming world, so i think the best device i could get is Red Magic even tho it has software issues but i think it will let me play in peace compared to these other ones that their issues is harmful to the gaming experience. I really think all these gaming phone companies only worry about taking out on sale as much devices as they can to make money, not trying hard to make an actually good phone for their customers.

No device is perfect. Any device can come faulty. If you search the whole Internet.. You will even find iPhone's with issues... That's how electronics work. Get a device you like. And move on... And if you have this much concern for device issues. Buy from a company which will provide you the best possible service so that in case you face anything, it can be solved easily.. Go for Samsung or apple.

What issues!!?? I've owned my red magic 5g since April 2020 and couldn't be happier. I have the NA version 8/128g running on T-Mobile usa. It did have a few software issues when it first came out...but nubia has issued several updates over the last few months and has fixed all issues with each update.

my problem is i'm not able to get any of the apps to full screen(like the option doesn't show up). i thought that they would show up in this menu. basically either i'm missing where the setting that makes apps into full screen, no apps are showing up, or there something else i'm missing
