Troubleshooting (RedMagic 7 Pro Specific)

OTA installation fails: Ensure you’re installing the correct version sequentially. You cannot skip versions – install updates in order (V2.38 > V3.20 > V4.14 > V4.20).
Insufficient storage error: OTA updates require significant free space. Clear at least 5GB of storage and try again.
Cooling fan not working: Check Game Space settings to ensure fan control is enabled. Clean vents from dust blockage.
Shoulder triggers unresponsive: Update to latest firmware and calibrate triggers in settings. Test in different game modes.
Battery draining quickly during gaming: This is normal during intensive gaming. Use the included 65W charger for quick top-ups between sessions.
Network connectivity issues: Ensure you’re using the correct regional version. Different versions optimize for specific network bands and carriers.
