[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkva123:
I'm not saying that they are lying definitely but I'm just asking cause this sounds strange.

Yeah, I can use the phone although its screen is broken since only one part (lower) of the screen is not functioning and the phone is flippable, so I need to constantly flip it to use different parts of the screen.

I sincerely doubt that the fall damaged the camera or any parts of it cause everything works, no artifacts or anything else.

Once again, this has nothing to do with the quality of the lens, chip, software or anything else. Image shot at f/2.0, 1/50s and ISO 200 will have the same exposure value (it would look to be equally light or dark) whether it was shot on an Alcatel Idol 3 or a professional Hasselblad medium-format 50 000 € camera or a film camera, or a camera obscura. Exposure is objectively measurable and is expressed with these values, nothing to do with the quality of the parts used and nothing to do with the quality of the photo, it's just the amount of light, not the quality of it or the image!

I have uploaded the photos to a image hosting service but I can't link to them, I tried numerous times.

I use the app A better camera for making photos and especially indoor photos are much better than using the standard app.

It's made by Almalence which is also making the software for some phone and camera manufacturers.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkva123:
so, here are the images

first I shot with the iPhone since it can only shoot full auto:

http://imgur.com/CE9xNOc

EXIF says that it's:

1/20 sec, ISO 160 and f/2.4

So I set the Alcatel in the manual mode as follows to be as close to the iPhone shot:

1/30 sec, ISO 200 and the aperture is according to Alcatel, f/2.0 (although when I shot it in manual mode the aperture value is mysteriously omitted from the EXIF). the photo from the Alcatel should be brighter on these settings!

and here's what we get:

http://imgur.com/7d7c407

Once again, this has nothing to do with quality of the camera or any other parts involved, it's not that the Alcatel is worse, it is wrong.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkva123:
And I finally managed to post photos :)

can someone please take a photo with the Idol 3 and some other cellphone in the same lighting conditions and scene just to confirm this?

you can check the EXIF values here: http://regex.info/exif.cgi

and write down the exposure values that you get from both phones.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasCZ:
i see what are you trying to tell, but i as i said, its a mobile phone i dont care.

But as i remember, there was same issue on my previous ZTE V5..the first firmwares said,that the aperture is 2.2 ...people complain about it and they have corrected it in next firmware.

So here can it be also. Ask on redit or in main XDa QA section, maybe someone who better understands optics and photograpy will tell you.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petertakov:
I don't know whether they are lying about the specs of the camera but mine is constantly collecting dust on the inside of the rear lens (already had it cleaned once and it is starting again). Never happened with any other phone I ever had and basically renders the rear camera useless within few weeks.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DallasCZ:
I have no single piece of dust on my camera..i have it for about 9 months allready.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roeltjuh:
My camera is also perfectly clean after more than half a year. I don't think they are lying about the specs. I suspect that the problem here is in the t-stop, which no lens manufacturer ever tells you about. The lens on the idol 3 is probably f/2 as they claim, but the amount of light that reaches the sensor has almost nothing to do with the f-stop, it's the t-stop that determines that. You can't actually rely on the f/stop for exposure (though it's a good approximation, usually), the f/stop is really only accurate for the depth of field that you get. I suspect that the t-stop on the idol 3 is lower than the one of the iPhone, while the t-stop of the iPhone happens to be more similar to the one of your DSLR lens. Though I have to say, the exposure difference in the photos you posted is very dramatic, maybe about 2 stops? I don't know if the t-stop can cause such a big difference.

That said, you could also easily test if the idol 3 camera is actually f/2. The idol 3 has a 6.1mm x 4.64mm sensor, and an 3.8mm focal length. Considering the sensor size, the crop factor is 7,2. As you probably know, the crop factor not only affects the focal length, but also the f/stop (and in fact also the ISO, but that doesn't matter now). So the idol 3 has a 35mm equivalent f/stop of f/2 x 7,2= f/14.4 (as far as DoF is concerned, not the exposure, obviously. This is the reason that it's so hard to get nice background blur on photos from smartphones unless you are very close up, it's because they have crazy small apertures like our idol 3 here at f/14.4. Again this is ONLY for DoF, not exposure. Basically because the sensor is very small, the aperture being small doesn't matter for exposure, the amount of light per pixel is about the same as if it was f/2 with a 35mm sensor.)

So, you could grab your Full Frame DSLR, set it to 27,4mm and f/14.4, (or if you have a 1.5x crop sensor DSLR, at 18.2mm and f/9.6), and then take a test picture with that DSLR and one with the idol 3. It's a DoF test shot, so take that into account when taking the photos (maybe set up a couple of items in a row, get them in frame in the same way on the idol 3 and DSLR, and focus on the frontmost item). The pictures from the DSLR and idol 3 should look about the same, DoF wise. The idol 3 will likely be noisier and not as sharp, and the exposure may be different too, but if the DoF is very different, then the idol 3 is not f/2. Setting up the DoF test shots might be tricky, because the minimum focusing distance is probably very different on the idol 3 and DSLR, but if you take these test shots we will at least know for certain if it is f/2 or not.

"Dust in the lens, all we are is dust in the lens..." lol No problems here, and everyone is free to do what they want with their phones, but I assume you are not using a full coverage case? I really can't believe some of the things I see people complain about when they don't use a quality case, and nowadays, a 9H glass screen protector. Not picking on you, and it's possible, even likely you got a bad unit. But "I dropped my phone, and I can't believe the pos shattered! I read it had blah blah next generation glass!" That one really makes me laugh.

And as far as the camera, There are lots of options for downloading/porting other cameras, with better settings and software. It's a $200 cell phone, and taking good pics is something that is important to me, so I always do a little searching on the forums of the new phones I get. I only paid $109 from Cricket, but even at $249 retail, what you get for the money is an amazing piece of technology, not a dedicated top of the line camera. And picture quality is somewhat subjective when you are talking about contrast, exposure, and saturation. Just one man's opinion....

[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dejawho:
Hi,

I've download the update for an honor 6+ but every time the procuedure fail. I think it is because what I have it is a chinese version (the serial number is PE-TL10V100R001CHNC00B260), so I've tried to download the last official chinese firmware from here: http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=125

but the download il really slow, and for really I mean like 2KB\s. Is there any mirror for this updates? and are they right for my honor version?
[Honor 6, 6 Plus Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roarc3:
I have the same phone. You have to use a Chinese version to update, and yes, downloads are slow. Seems you have the right update(5.1.6.1.1). I updated some days ago, but did an earlier update to B351. Does the update stop on a certain percentage, or what?

I just noticed this spot on the display. I've only had the watch a few days. Don't mind the background, it just shows the spot more readily.
[Moto 360 2015] Vsavaglio:
Hmm, I'm not sure I'm seeing the spot you're referring too. Where is it and what am I looking for?
[Moto 360 2015] Pnevma:
It's a purplish spot on the middle of the left half (the black section).

I have it too in my watch, no idea if it's a future problem. It's barely noticeable for now.
[Moto 360 2015] cambunch:
I think it is a small pressure spot from the circuit board underneath the screen. I have it on my watch too and notice it "ripples" a little bit if I bend my wrist and put some pressure on the screen. I'm not too worried about it (my 1st gen 360 had it too)
[Moto 360 2015] jayochs:
yeah when i bend my wrist and stuff, I see a blueish spot in that exact area. it goes away tho when pressure is gone.

Verizon HTC One M8

S-Off

HBoot - 3.19

OS - 4.17.605.9

TL;DR with help, I got my phone rooted. TWRP works fine and allows me access to install ROMs and such, but no matter what ROM I've tried, it just goes straight to bootloader. Originally, I tried Skydragon, and it was stuck on permaboot. I haven't changed the CID (I'm fairly in the dark here.) Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Okay before anything im not here to compare. Im juat wondering are they the same thibgs just different skin. I dint gavw wifi on remix os and i also dint have a cursur.. Im thibking of trying phoneix.
[Remix OS for PC] whise1:
I can guarantee they are not exactly the same. In phoenix I cannot use my webcam. So I think there are some diferences
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Okay cuz i was not able to get my trackpad to work only touch screen also dint have wifi.. Which was a bummer
[Remix OS for PC] kretex:
Just wait for next remix os beta released, more than 50 bug fixed [emoji4]
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Yrah i am going to wait
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Wow Phoenix os runs alot smoother on my laptop. But still no wifi or track pad function... :( the drivers must be missing
[Remix OS for PC] Houge_Langley:
Your wireless driver is ?
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Yes i can't connect to wifi out use my yeah pad
[Remix OS for PC] Houge_Langley:
En, I know that. I means the hardware. Because mine not work too.

Too many patches and bugs need to fixed. The kernel Remix using is 4.0.X. Too old to merged.
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
I heard people can fix it by rooting so i will give it a try
[Remix OS for PC] Orion116:
Why is this even in the RemixOS forum?
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Because there us no phoneix os forum
[Remix OS for PC] king-totti85:
for me - using teclast X98- phoenix is more awesome than remix.. my wifi works fine with both os but the Bluetooth and sound don't..

screen resolution and dpi is better in Phoenix.. also their browser is magnificent and the dual boot method is fairly straightforward
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Yes remis running a bit laggy. Even though its on a SSD i fixed my wifi will try the same for phoneix later.
[Remix OS for PC] king-totti85:
the weird thing that I have.. is the inverted touch response.. for instance when I touch the right top corner of the screen it activates the left bottom corner triggering the start menu.. any idea?
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Lol never heard of anything like that.. I'm not sure. Try downloading a calibrating app.. Might not work but who knows
[Remix OS for PC] king-totti85:
yes I tried one app but it did nothing.. I think it is a kernel problem.. anyway I will try another apps while waiting patiently for Remix os Beta.
[Remix OS for PC] scottww2622:
I've been looking for something like this to replace Windows 10 on my ASUS Vivotab 8 for a while now. I had never heard of PhoenixOS before following the link to XDA from Remix.

I had to disable secure boot in my bios to get this to install, but after it reboots it says unable to find rtc0 or something. Then it says something about searching for Phoenix and a bunch of dots going across the screen until it finally goes blank and nothing else. Just wandering if I'm not waiting long enough or if something is wrong.

The 1.0.3 beta of Phoenix was behind Remix OS according to the score i got in Antutu.

I guess time to download the 1.0.4 beta and run it again. XD
[Remix OS for PC] freelancer81:
Cannot play high end games on Phoenix OS.

Webcam does not work properly on Phoenix.

Even Antutu give u much higher scores in RemixOS using the same PC.

RemixOS still alpha...whereas PhoenixOS already beta.

Gonna stick with RemixOS...

[Remix OS for PC] Digitalnom:
Phoenix and Remix differ in many ways. Phoenix stays a little closer to the original android UI in my opinion and has some nice options avail for resize windows and multiwindows. It also has a task bar and menu, the menu can go full screen similar to what we see on windows with tablet mode. most things works well and it is only 32bit. Remix has been well developed and UI is further from the natural Android experience IMO. Remix has better keyboard support, allowing for right click menus and options. It has a smooth windows experience for mutliple windows and they have done more work to redesign the look and feel of the windows. It seems to have some better support for PC expereince (im guesseing more focus on being a desktop and more recent drivers) it also supports 64bit meaning that you can take advantage of more ram and the like. I as a android lover have both running as they develop, and so far getting a more stable experience from Phoenix. However Remix just eleft alpha and is beta now and def like the 64bit version. Hope this helps.:fingers-crossed:
[Remix OS for PC] egren58:
Remix is runmung way better now yhat it is on beta. Unfortunately im getting now sound from remix os which is a deal breaker.. Its not detecting my sound card.

[Remix OS for PC] bdiddled:
I have been using both Phoenix and Remix OS, and this is what I have experienced on my laptop. Here are the specs of my laptop: Lenovo Twist with an i5 CPU, 8GB of RAM and a SSD drive.

Here are some pros and cons for both operating systems (again from my experience):

Remix allows you to hide the taskbar, Phoenix does not

Remix I am able to resize the windows with my mouse, I can not do this in Phoenix unless I use the touch screen

Phoenix has the window snap feature, Remix does not. For myself to use the snap feature, again I can only do this with the touch screen and not the mouse.

Bluetooth works in Phoenix. I was not able to get Bluetooth working in Remix.

Phoenix allows you to select your partition size, where Remix picks it for you.

After selecting English in Phoenix, it seems to have quite a bit of Chinese still.

Phoenix is very smooth and the GUI looks very nice.

Remix supports 64bit, Phoenix does not.

Remix seems to make my Windows 10 run slow, I have not noticed this with Phoenix.

Both supported my display, WiFi, camera, wireless mouse with dongle, sound, touch pad, and keyboard very well.

Both come prerooted, but Phoenix you need to enable it through Developer Options.

Remix seems to release updates more frequently than Phoenix.

Phoenix I was not able to connect my Bluetooth mouse because Phoenix wanted a password and the mouse doesn't use one. I have not been able to find a way around this yet.

I hope this helps others, even though its only from my experience with both operating systems. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask. I personally am liking Phoenix better right now on my laptop, but I will continue to use both and watch them progress.
[Remix OS for PC] OldGaf:
"Both come prerooted, but Phoenix you need to enable it through Developer Options." - really??? since when?
[Remix OS for PC] bdiddled:
I installed it a couple weeks ago and that's how I enabled root.
[Remix OS for PC] lp894:
Yea I noticed that with the 1.1 release they came out with a few weeks ago. However PhoenixOS is still on Lollipop where as Remix OS uses Marshmallow. I don't know whether thats good or bad, it just it is what it is.

Just one thing to add(which isn't really a deal breaker but nice nonetheless) in phoenix OS you can press Windows Key+L and it will lock the screen. Remix os does not. Granted, that's something you could probably setup with keyboard shortcuts though. Now that I have a dedicated PC I'm going to try to run Phoenix OS AND Remix OS dual booting. Currently, it overwrites the option in the boot manager so I gotta figure out how to fix that. (I'm not developer by any means and it's probably something REALLY simple lol)
