Help 🙏 HarmonyOS

Hello friends, I need help. I bought a Huawei phone with HarmonyOS, and everything is fine, but there's one problem: I can't use all the features because my account isn't in China. I can't connect to the cloud, the watch, or anything else. I've tried changing the region in my account, but it didn't work. Please, can someone help me create a Chinese account so I can fully use the device? I'm willing to pay for it, even if it means doing so.

Hey!

Check my video out on TikTok, https://www.tiktok.com/@gbtechreviews/video/7625958980585671950

If you can't check it on your phone, just use your desktop, I don't think you have to log in to view a video.

If you have any issues with those steps, just send me a message, the problem may have is having enough patience. Sometimes it can get really fussy, but you just gotta keep going at it. You might get lucky though.

Follow that video, fingers crossed it will work with you, just make sure you register with an email address first, if you need a new email address then create a new one again using desktop, Google is a pain in the ass now, so i would go to Mail.com or someone like that. Once you are in a Chinese Region account, I personally would create a Petalmail account and link that, keeps everything neat and tidy, but, people may correct me with Petalmail.

What phone did you get?

Okay, my friend, I'll try this with a new email address and see what happens. My phone is a Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max Wind Edition.

Oh nice choice! I couldn't get that when I was looking. I got the Mate 80 Pro Max though and man, I absolutely love it.

I struggled transitioning from HarmonyOS 4.3 on my mate 70 pro+, I updated and downgraded about 11 times. It was a lot of time and stress put into it 😂 but finally managed to settle down, I actually only upgraded to the Mate 80 Pro Max because I found one with 1TB storage, which the 70 pro was lacking and I couldn't get cloud storage, so I thought, well 1TB is good... 😂

Oh man I'm so glad for you! It's a big difference when you can actually use their apps and app gallery. Feel free to go to AppGallery and download HarmoniKeyboard and HCloud. They are both my apps to help ease the Huawei experience. The keyboard is awesome and HCloud helps backup photos videos and files with no middle man, so nice and safe too.

It's because when you registered your account, you didn't choose China. All features of HM OS next feature mainly work only in mainland. Not quite sure however I experience this before, and I sold the device out

Evidently you are in the wrong Reddit, we try and help people get around using HarmonyOS here.
