What you guys think about Camera of Nexus 5X/6P as compare to OnePlus 3 ? I have seen the photography thread of OnePlus 3 as well as Nexus 5X and Nexus 5X camera take better pictures which look like as if you taken Photos from professional camera while performance of OnePlus 3 camera is average. My assumption is based on looking at photos which member posted . I also own nexus 5X probably like everything about OnePLus 3 except camera so i personally wish to have nexus 5x camera in onplus 3 :D
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Joshmccullough:
OP - thanks for this, I've got a Nexus 5 and I'm looking toward picking up an OP3, glad to hear it's a great balance between freedom from carrier bloat and customized UI. My clicking finger's getting itchy to pull the trigger on one, just have to run it by the master of finances, a.k.a my wife :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
While I was extremely impressed with the camera on the 6P, I'm not finding the OnePlus 3 camera to be any worse. I will say that the 6P camera took great photos at night and I haven't had time to test night shots with the OnePlus 3. But when it comes to daylight pics, the OnePlus 3 camera is just as good as the 6P, if you ask me.

For reference, here is a picture I took last weekend during a hike with the wife. I just used the standard auto settings and didn't edit it at all. The picture quality is great. It captured the detail in the rocks and trees perfectly:

:laugh: I know how that goes. Good luck!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 2x4:
agree, OP3 camera is pretty great even compared to the N6P.

in my experience, the only place the Nexus 6P clearly excels is in low light photography (With or without HDR on either phone) - but then I found out that the very configurable manual mode on the OP3 camera mitigated this greatly too!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] brickedvice:
Nexus line has never really been premium. It always missed something.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rajaasim1980:
Its great picture and scenery. What place is this? I think most camera perform good in good lighting condition..real test is when you test them indoor and in others challenging conditions .. I was comparing the photos in dedicated photography thread of nexus 5X and OnePLus 3 when i said photos of nexus 5x seem too good but well good for you if you have same feeling about Oneplus 3 camera
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
This was taken on Mt. Evans, in Colorado. We live about an hour from there. Admittedly, the only pictures I ever take with my phones seem to be random shots in clear daylight. We have a DSLR camera that we use when we want really good photos in various lighting conditions. No phone camera can compare to that anyway.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] PryvateiDz:
I'm like super late, but yeah. I agree with everything you said. At this point I'm about set on only buying sub $500 smartphones. I don't see the point anymore. I was massively disappointed with HTC. It was touted that the HTC 10 was going to have a slightly superior camera than the Nexus 6p because it has OIS and Laser auto-focus, as well as OIS on the front-facing camera as well. If that wasn't the biggest over-hype and trickery.

I think I'm done with HTC smartphones right now. I'm looking forward to the Blackberry Argon, The LG V20 or V11 (V10 successor), and the Nextbit Robin Successor (hopefully next year).

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Yeah, it's pretty great.

I remember I tried to take pics of my cousin at Prom with my HTC 10. I was so disappointed. I thought I could do like the LG G4 and leave my more professional camera's at home, and it could be like a point-and-shoot or a emergency DSLR replacement, so wrong. I felt bad for my little cousin, my pics sucked.

But, I took similar lighting pics, from a distance (which seemed to be the issue with the HTC 10 because it took great close-up shots), and the pictures turned out great.

Also, your OnePlus 3 pic is pretty impressive.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
Thanks! And I completely agree. I'm done with HTC phones for the foreseeable future. They've let me down every time I've tried them. Which is why I was pretty disappointed to learn that HTC would likely be building the next Nexus phones. Bad move Google, bad move.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dabarr:
Naw, I think HTC making a nexus is perfectly fine. They can't bloat or mess up thr software since it's stock coming straight from Google.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] dvsk69:
HTC makes some of the most beautiful phones. The build quality is just unmatched. And if it's coming with stock Android I'm sure it'll rock.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I agree that the build quality is excellent. Thats the one thing I did enjoy about the HTC 10. I suppose we will see how they turn out later this year.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] 3's&7's:
I agree as I just took shots of my HTC 10 to go on craigslist with my new OP3...the 10 is super solid build quality beyond doubt. I do hope they get the next Nexus right on hardware (always some shortcut isn't there?! After my third bent 6P I quit), but I just do not see the trade off's adding up with any 2016 Nexus vs the OP3 especially on price.

In terms of latest / greatest android updates...custom ROM's get re-based all the time and I would imagine the biggest headache us OP3 owners will experience this year will be the migration to Nougat (v7).
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
i must agree about your last sentence :)

2016 nexus as they say will be flagship killer but it is long time when nexus price was way beyond the other flagships. In USA you have many discounts all the time and price drops, in Europe especially in some countries there is still a problem to buy it in decent price.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aur3L:
Well, I share OP's view. I still have my 6p, I've updated the bootloader and radio, flashed Pure Nexus on it, and my wife will try it tomorrow. She uses a Nexus 5, so the 6p should fit her needs.

I was expecting two phones this year, the Oppo Find 9, and the OP3. I'm glad I made the jump. I enjoy a lot the camera at night time, if you are willing to play with manual mode and take night still, even without -or better with- a tripod, results are amazing. I knew it from owning a Find 7, which had the same manual controls. I also take night shots with my Leica, and for a smartphone on a tripod, or properly oriented, the OP3 is a solid performer. I'm happy about this, the 6p does very well in any light on condition that you use hdr+. On OP3, you have more options, and this is part of why I think it's an upgrade from the 6p.

The device feels light but with a case it feels more substantial. Everything is faster than on the 6p, opening / multitasking apps especially. I used to run the SD 810 as an hexacore device with EX Kernel, but it still managed to throttle, whereas in the +3, no hiccup. Vooc has improved overtime, glad they still rely on Oppo's infrastructure.

So yeah, it's hard to admit but Oneplus delivered a very good device. For a much lighter price at least in EU where I live. And as another poster wrote, it's a nexus +.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] SpaceGooner:
I'm another Nexus 6P owner that has just ordered a OP3. Will it meet all my needs? Figured I'll check it out and decide for myself. Love what I'm reading about its performance and added features and I'm not bothered about going back to Full HD, as QHD for a pocket device has always seemed pretty daft to me. If I'm not convinced once I've played around with it for a few days, at least I have 14 days to return it for my money back (UK).

Can anyone confirm that the OP3 will charge ok with the N6P wall charger or Pixel C wall charger by the way? Assuming it will, but want to check as the whole dash charge thing is a little confusing.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ushpiy:
I think it might charge but you won't get fast charging via N6P wall chargers or Pixel C.

OP3's fast charging (dash charging) is available only via their official chargers.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
i heard vooc from Oppo works as well, but still normal charger (2A) 5%-100% is 2hrs which is fine.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanbogo:

I'm coming from htc, finally I'm back to happy flashing family :D device is perfect for me, everything is just amazing. 100 % happy user!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] terragady:
actually HTC is not that bad with flashing and custom roms :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] fanbogo:
True, but op3 is better :)
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] itzdarockz:
OP3 is so much better than my old N6. Shocked that it was once priced for $600 with such a terrible camera, screen, and battery.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] CindysD:
You won't like it for long. LOL
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] J3COMPUTERSERVICES:
still have my 6P I try to use it every once in a while but keep coming back to this phone!! OP3 is amazing!!
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lythandra:
I had the Nexus 1, 3 and 5. I'm pleased with the 1+3 so far. I have to have my root. I do wish it had a sdcard slot tho but for only $400 I won't complain to much. The Dash charging is very quick and my battery life is excellent.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jk8260:
Longtime Nexus fan, had the OnePlus One got a OnePlus Three for my son first hour they were out (VR event was awesome), he just loves it and could not be happier.

The only thing keeping me from buying one for myself is.

1 - Waiting to see what Nexus this fall will be like.

2 - I think I would miss WiFi charging too much.

3 - I know I would miss WiFi calling too much.

But who knows by Christmas I just may make the switch, but my N6 on Android N preview 5 is really nice.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lythandra:
I had the N5 almost 3 years and loved wireless charging but so far I do not miss it. The battery life is so good that I don't need it.

I would like to have it as a bonus but its not as needed with this phone as it was with the N5.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jk8260:
It is just so exhausting to have to plug in a phone (I know just kidding, so spoiled), agreed the Dash Charging is lighting fast, the other day my sons phone was at 14% and we were leaving for a road trip in half an hour, when he go in the car his phone was charged, just amazing.

Good point, hoping they turn WiFi calling on in a future OS update, that will bring me much closer.

I do need for someone to solve the ridiculous unsafe device boot message when you have an unlocked boot loader (I know it is supposed to be a 'Google' thing) but come....
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cyda:
Agreed. I came from a Nexus 4 and OP3 is perfect for me.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lythandra:
Yeah the Unlocked message is dumb but after getting the phone set up the way I want I havent rebooted. I guess it depends on how much you like to fiddle with the phone. I rarely mess with it once I have it set up.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I must admit that when Google decided to stop incorporating wireless charging into their phones, starting with the 6P and 5X, I was very disappointed. I had a wireless charger at home and one at the office. I found it to be extremely convenient.

However, with how fast cable chargers have become, the need for a wireless charger is simply gone, in my opinion. These days phones charge in minutes and the batteries last days. I no longer let my phone charge over night. I just use it as I usually would throughout the day and then set it on my night stand at night. The next day I plug it in for 20-30 minutes while I eat breakfast and make my coffee. By the time I unplug it to head to the office, the battery is at 100% already. It still amazes me, to be honest.

The Nexus 6P had the same obnoxious unlocked bootloader warning screen with no way to disable it. So this annoyance would remain true for me regardless of whether I use the 6P or the OP3.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipmanwck:
Thanks for the post. How do you feel about the camera. I also had The 6p circa but but just too big and the warping issues made me sell.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] sn0warmy:
I never had warping issues with mine but I read plenty of posts with pictures showing this happening for others. I always had mine in a hard snap on case though, which likely improved rigidity.

As far as the camera goes, I haven't run into any instances where I took a picture and thought, "man I wish I had the 6P to take that picture." Overall the picture quality has been excellent for me on the standard automatic settings. Granted, I've taken very few low light pictures and no night time pictures. But keep in mind that I don't typically rely on my phone to take planned pictures. If we go camping or somewhere where I know we are going to want good shots, I bring the DSLR with me. So that takes the brunt of most of our picture taking.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipmanwck:
I feel the same about the camera. It's not a noticible downgrade .
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lythandra:
What surprised me is the sound with headphones on. Compared to my N5 it is better and louder if I want it to be.

I'm not a big picture taker so I can't give an opinion there but it worked fine for the 2 pictures I have taken so far.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] yiyi28:
haha I dropped mine also. Called Google and got transferred to Huawei. Replacement is $160ish and will cost at least 15 business days, so I decide to buy a new one. I am still considering OP3 or GS7 Edge Internation version or wait for Note7
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostafa Wael:
mind sharing that manual settings configuration ??

Thanks a lot!

P.S. I should be getting my OP3 on Sunday

coming from an HTC M9 that will be handed to my brother, replacing his elder Xperia Z2 :)

should I worry about the audio quality from that headphone jack ? according to Ahrion, one of the biggest sound mod developers and the dev of the Atmos ports from the Lenovo K4, ZTE Axon 7 and lately the wonderful LeMax2 Dolby Atmos, mentioned that the OnePlus 3 surprised him in terms of audio quality and it uses either DTS or Dirac sound effects technologies. Also that mono speaker has a dedicated speaker amplifier according to some technical evidence in the Audio mods thread. So I suppose that even audiophiles will be pleased with this phone's audio capabilities right??
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipmanwck:
Man the headphone jack is just crazy amazing. It is the best thing I have hard coming from Sammy and lg phones. It will make your ears dance and I am stock too. Not even felt that need to root it's amazing.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mostafa Wael:
man GSMArena mopped the audio performance in the OnePlus 3 review! I got so worried, but every other reviewer say that the audio is very good. PocketNow says that the audio performance is better than any other S820 device which uses the S820 DAC. And the power output blows the S7 and the G5 out of the water. In fact, it is very close to the likes of the LG V10 with its dedicated B&O DAC and the iPhone 6s. GSMArena got so mad recently :rolleyes:
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ipmanwck:
Gsm arena know Jack. Trust me it's great. Cannot listen to my g4 anymore it's bad compared.

Hi every one I have htc one m8 now 2-3 years, I rooted and unlocked bootloader, on stock firmware which is : 4.18.708.12 and now I have system updates that I cant update cuz im rooted , so I relocked bootloader and tried to update , still when i try it goes to fastboot with this : system software modified, security warning and it doesnt update nor perform a factory reset, can some one help me out here? id be glad I need this help asap
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need stock ROM, and stock recovery to update by OTA.

Return to stock ROM and stock recovery using this thread (which will then allow you to update): http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860

Relocking the bootloader isn't necessary to OTA (only to RUU or flash signed firmware.zip) and didn't help you matters. You'll need to unlock it again in order to perform the process linked above.

Factory reset also won't help your condition, so there isn't a point in doing so. Factory reset is a bit of a misnomer, all it does is wipe user data. It won't restore a previous OS, nor remove root, etc.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
I want my phone to be back to stock like it came from the company, with the original ruu and firmware signatures, if i install stock rom and stock recovery that way im still rooted in which case I dont want it, I wanna get back to original LB and Unrooted with warrenty back
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If that is what you wanted, then no mention was made of that in your OP (which you should have done). You should be specific about what you want, and not make it harder for folks trying to help you.

You are incorrect (that after installing the stock ROM, you will still be rooted). Installing the stock ROM will remove root. That's the whole point of the thread I linked.

If there is an RUU for your version number, just use it to return to

almost

full stock. When I say "almost", its because the bootloader will only say RELOCKED instead of LOCKED. The only way to make it say LOCKED (after its been unlocked) is with s-off. And if you don't already have s-off, it will cost you $25 by sunshine. Probably not worth the cost, as you no longer have warranty, anyway. HTC warranty is only valid for 1 year.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
and how do i decide which RUU is suitable for my device?

android 5.0.1

software number : 4.18.708.12

I must point out that I never installed a custom rom nor recovery I just unlocked bootloader and rooted and thats it so how do I find my ruu and what to do if i dont?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Its not actually clear what you are trying to do. Return to stock to update? Or something else? Your later post says return to stock for warranty, but no way you have warranty at this point. Is something wrong with the phone? Or just trying to return the phone to stock to sell or trade it?

Can't really provide proper guidance unless we know your intent.

---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

You look for an RUU for that version number you just posted.

If no RUU, the process I linked for you in the first place will return you to full stock, with the exception of bootloader will be UNLOCKED. Or you can make it RELOCKED. Not really much different from what an RUU would give you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
I didnt mean to get my warrenty back, I meant to get back to stock just like when getting back to original phone status like it came from the company, so I understood that flashing stock rom and recovery will help me with geting back and stat updating normally, but the precess seems too complicated to understand I might need your further help perferably vie Direct message, but just to save all the efforts, Id perfer the RUU flashing, and since you said none original RUU that has the same number of my version , that means I can install any one I want? whats the difference between RUUs and how do I choose the perfect one

(sorry i am new thats why i ask a lot :D )
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
But its exactly what you posted:

I strongly suggest you take a bit more time thinking about what you post, and making sure its properly typed, (lack of proper capitalization, spelling and punctuation makes your posts a pain to read, to say the least) and conveys what you want it to. Otherwise, you're just making it harder for folks to understand and help you.

Any time you think you are saving by typing quickly, is being lost x10 by me having to ask you to clarify what you mean.

The process isn't complicated. If you managed to unlock the bootloader and root the phone, you can certainly accomplish restoring the stock ROM and stock recovery. On that same note, it can be fairly said that anyone that is unable restore the phone by that method; probably shouldn't have unlocked the bootloader and rooted to begin with. Or look at it a slightly different way: you should never root a device without knowing how to return it to stock.

The guide looks long, mostly because its written in a very highly detailed, step-by-step manner (some folks seem to like that). But it just boils down to downloading the proper file, unzipping the folders, putting them in the right location on the phone, and restoring in TWRP.

If you have issues on a particular step, feel free to post again here, or the TWRP stock backup thread we are discussing.

I never said there was no RUU for your version number; or did you determine that yourself (your wording isn't clear)? I don't definitely know if there is or not; I was leaving it up to you to search. But doing a quick search myseld, it looks like NO.

If you looked, and there is no RUU for your version, you certainly

cannot

run any RUU you like. In fact, you can't run any RUU at all, unless its intended for your version, CID, MID.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
I downloaded signed firmware that has the same CID and MID but marshmellow not lolipop (I had lolipop and flashed marshmallow firmware) and now phone is stuck at black screen
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Why did you flash signed firmware? Its not a ROM, not an RUU. Nobody told you to do this.

Black screen, as in the screen doesn't come on? Not a good sign.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
yes thats what it means! what can i do now?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
i found my version number in TWRP backup 4.18.708.12_ckpv5 can i use this to flash through ADB? because I cant flash TWRP recovery after what i did it says error bootloader signatures veryfication.. what are my options man?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
How did you flash the firmware? By fastboot, or SD card method?

What's the exact file name for what you flashed?

Any error messages?

Did it tell you to flash again (very common, but actually says "flush image immediately"), and if so, did you flash it again?

Try holding power button and vol up for a minute or more, and see if there is any change.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
flashed by fastboot the way its mentioned in the thread you sent me.. on how to flash marshmallow signed firmwares and now when I rebooted as instructed it gets stuck at black screen after HTC logo on white screen and so I thought I could fix this by flashing twrp but now it says bootloader signatures veryfication error, so I cant proceed to the installation ..
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You have to get the phone back on, in one mode or another, before you can do anything.

No, you can't flash the stock TWRP backup with adb. Its a TWRP backup, and you have to restore it with TWRP.

You can't flash custom recovery with the bootloader locked. That is why you have signature verification error. You need to unlock the bootloader again, which I already told you. And you need to be in bootloader-fastboot mode to flash it, anyway. I thought you said the screen wasn't coming on?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
yes it got a black screen.

to Unlock bootloader I need what exactly?
