I actually did a video comparing video/photo capabilities of a Pixel XL against a Nexus 6p - here

Also I did a video about how a Pixel XL performs as a concert camera at live shows - here

The camera on this phone is absolutely sick! Very happy with it.

I am currently working on a video where I am comparing it with an iPhone 7. This one should be interesting.

My opinion of the camera is that the hardware is nothing special. The lg g4 had much better stuff with the Sony sensor, ois and f1.8 lens. Way better low light. Hdr processing on the pixel is better.

These shots may be resized by XDA on upload. That may kill all the nice detail the camera took.

Not sure if it's been discussed yet but I seem to be getting much better pictures by manually turning HDR+ on instead of it sitting on auto.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ithehappy:
Yep, I think GSMA review and also some other YouTube reviews did mention that already. I agree. Turning HDR to On instead of Auto almost always takes better photos. But in my testing I found that for some photos, there are a whole lot of noise in comparison with HDR Auto, just don't realise yet for which situations exactly, but it's there. The main advantage of the manual On I found is the much more accurate colours. Love the camera, will keep testing.
[Google Pixel XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Nitemare3219:
Search...

HDR+ On = lag but with better color rendering and dynamic range in SOME situations, NOT ALL but SOME... but it can be a dramatic positive difference (never a negative one other than noise in low light), so I almost always take a shot in Auto and a shot in On just to be safe, if it's meant to be a quality photo.

HDR+ Auto = no lag and less noise in low light due to more images being stacked.

Any way to return to Stock?

Yes I have tried the LgUp route....no go

Yes I have tried LG FlashTool route.......well something happened

Yes I have tried the ALL IN ONE Toolkit for Verizon......this is nothing more than the LG FlashTool route, just step by step.

History.......I flashed the new FW version 3.1.1 from XDABBEB and now I cannot flash stock again.

Best I could get is the LG FlashTool, because LGUP sees this phone now as "unkown".

When I try to flash through LG FlashTool I get null for pid and imei, yes I have used various versions of DLL that came with the TOT file.

At this point I am clueless......I can see that when I used the LG FlashTool it sees this:

Error: [14:53;5] CrossDL [VS985 4G] to [VS985]

Anybody have any ideas....thanks in advance.
[Verizon LG G3] altwu:
i ran into the same problem also. i tried to flash back to 10b after installing [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]'s 3.1.1 rom and i got the same CrossDL error almost immediately. the good news is that since the error comes up almost immediately, nothing is downloaded or flashed to your phone. you should still be able to boot into it.

i had a nandroid backup of my previous rom, which was jasmine 4.0. i flashed the 12b bootstack and then restored the nandroid. the interesting thing was that after restoring the nandroid, i still wasn't able to downgrade to 10b. i had to boot into the rom and then power back down. after that, i was able to flash 10b.

other people have reported being able to downgrade to 10b from 28a. [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION]'s 3.1.1 rom uses systemless root which modifies the system and/or boot image files. my guess is that the systemless root is what is preventing the downgrade to 10b from working. my suggestion is to try unrooting first and then try flashing 10b. if not, i hope you have a nandroid backup that you can restore and downgrade from.

Hello,

I'm interested in being able to:

- backup the entire original rom of my phone (s730/wings/volans)

- restore a rom

- understand what this rom cooking is or what-not (i guess it's modifying your phone by adding stuff, then dumping an image)

- and my number one reason: to try to get GPS functioning using the dumped s730 rom with the retail s730 ROM

I can't seem to find a solid grounding of info.

Can anyone point me in a direction?

Thanks!

Hi

Is there way to root S7 Edge with out loosing warranty? I tried to google it but didnt find any methods that are safe. By safe I mean something that does not remove warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Cosmic Blue:
Currently there is no guaranteed way to root without losing warranty. There maybe a work around by doing systemless root but that is still in the beta stage and may not be perfected for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] nitrous²:
There are countless threads regarding this issue. There is no way to root the Exynos S7 (Edge) without tripping Knox, thus warranty. Systemless root will NEVER root a Samsung without tripping Knox. Systemless root modifies the kernel to achieve root. This will ALWAYS trigger the Knox counter. Flashing modified image = tripping Knox.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ProtoDeVNan0:
Even flashing a custom recovery kills the warranty unfortunately :(. Anything without Samsung Signature or with modified code, will break the warranty. And Samsung Signature will be ignored after knox has been set to 0x1, this way Your phone won't reset itself after flashing official rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BCSC:
Sort answer: No

Long answer: There is not
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sysctl:
Thanks.

I was wondering how tripping warranty works? Does it send something to Samsung servers? I was just wondering if it would be possible to add something in hosts file to prevent it from happening?

Or does anyone know the location of binary that check for signature? In that case one could just modify that binary to accept everything.

The reason I got interested in rooting is that I have some bloatware that I cant uninstall. Forexample some yahoo thing that consumed 12 MB of datatransfer. There is no way to take away it's permission, and there is no uninstall option and when I try to remove it with adb shell (using rm command in /system/app for that) it says file system is readonly.

I love how Samsung have become everything I hated about Apple. I own an S7 Edge and I'm half considering selling it for a Xiaomi. I get equal warranty with a Xiaomi, but I can get the phone for like £100.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] B3311:
Seems to be confusion between tripping Knox and warranty here. You can't "trip warranty". In some countries, tripping Knox voids your warranty, but not all. I had my Edge+ fixed twice under warranty, no problem - informed the dealer that I'd removed Knox 30 minutes after purchase, they said it was fine. Same with my son's Note 3.

Unfortunately the only way to be sure is flash a recovery and/or root, bork your phone, and see what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sysctl:
I had few questions raising in my mind:

1) Will ripping warranty also disable software updates?

2) How important is warranty for S7 Edge? Does this phone break easily? My friend told me that Samsung phones will have all kinds of defects and that I am very likely to need warranty, but what about S7 Edge? What's the chances that I need warranty in 2 years given that the phone was brand new when I brought it few months ago?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] MisterKanister:
1) Rooting will break OTA update, so you will have to update software by flashing it manually (which is easy, but still)

2) You can never know. Had a Note 4, thought it would never fail, in the end it did and I needed warranty. That's why I am staying away from it on my S7 edge, too expensive in case of failure. And in my country they're strict with Knox
