Honor 400 Software Shortcomings - It Lacks Key Features

I'm currently using the Honor 400, and while it's truly a smooth and high-quality phone, there are some major shortcomings that really affect the user experience: 1. Google Messages Issue Messages don't arrive in the Google Messages app at all. I couldn’t figure out the issue, but when I switched to another SMS app, everything worked fine. It's disappointing that the default messaging app doesn’t work properly, and even worse—Honor doesn't provide its own messaging app. 2. No Option to Stop Charging at 80% I’m not a heavy phone user—mostly social media and communication—but the battery life is still poor. I used to have a Samsung device, and the option to stop charging at 80% was a lifesaver to extend battery lifespan. This feature is totally missing here, and it needs to be added urgently. 3. No "Modes and Routines"-Like Feature Samsung had an amazing feature that allowed automatic actions like toggling Wi-Fi, mobile data, etc., based on routines. Honor doesn’t offer anything similar, which is a real letdown. 4. Limited Lock Screen Customization Only the font of the clock can be changed—its size, position, or style can’t be modified. On top of that, there’s no option to access the notification panel from the lock screen. This really limits personalization. 5. Poor Icon Customization You can't use third-party icon packs with themes. Only Honor’s built-in options are available, and honestly, I didn’t like any of them. Even installing a basic, clean icon pack is not possible. 6. SwiftKey Keyboard This keyboard is really bad, and unfortunately, it can’t be removed. I installed Gboard instead, which is okay, but I truly believe Honor should develop its own high-quality keyboard app. If these five issues are addressed, Honor could become a truly top-tier and widely preferred brand. I really want my next phone to be another Honor, but without these features, it’s hard to stay loyal. Please

7- Theme colors do not change On my Samsung phone, I was able to change the colors of the quick settings buttons in the notification panel. However, this feature does not appear. 8- Fast charging feature cannot be turned off I am someone who pays attention to the longevity of the phone's battery. I already plug it in to charge at night and sleep, as everyone does, so I never needed fast charging, but I can't turn off fast charging. As far as I know, fast charging heats up the battery and shortens its lifespan. Fast charging should be able to be turned on and off. 9- Pop-up window / multi-window / split screen I want to turn off this feature too, but it can't be turned off. When I enter the email app and click on links, they open in a small window. Also, when I try to quickly enter the recent apps screen, the app again turns into a window in the top right corner. I want to turn off this feature. It makes usage difficult. 10- Power off screen with side button? On all the phones I have used so far, when I pressed and held the power button, the power off screen would appear or this option could be activated. But for some reason, I couldn't see or activate this option. 11- Unable to turn off virtual RAM I don't perform operations that require virtual RAM, it would be great if this feature could be controlled manually. 12- Magic capsule shrinks When I play music, I notice that the magic capsule turns into a circle and shrinks like a second camera. I don't understand why it happens by itself.
