[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
so I'm very disappointed about the so big advertising i saw about this phone on this forum from xda staff and promises about possible agreements between xda and huawei so to have maybe good development when in the end it seems it was just words.. nevertheless in this price range i still think this phone is one of the best if not the best for specs so could maybe get one anyway.

that said my first question is about camera. i tested two huawei phones lately (p8 lite and g8) and found out the former did very bad pictures (especially in low light conditions/inside spaces.. terrible!) while the latter (g8) seems to make very good pictures, also with low light.

do someone knows if the honor 8 makes good pictures in low light conditions/inside spaces in the evening like the g8 maybe? or better? but anyway better than the terrible p8 lite?

another thing. stock fw is pretty good but i miss some features, for example long press volume buttons when screen is off to switch songs (without headphones) and unlink notifications/ringtones volume and change volume steps. do you know if i can achieve all this with xposed for example and gravity box? will these features be compatible on huawei?

last thing, i don't use any gapps/services. in the past i used to create flahsable zips for stock firmwares (sony, Samsung etc) to remove all Google stuff, will this work with huawei as well i suppose? or maybe it will prevent phone to boot? dunno how is huawei linked to google stuff.. and if the Google icon in settings will disappear removing google stuff..

tia for any helps guys!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
I believe Honor 8 will impress you in terms of photography. As for your desired features, Xposed modules will most likely grant those. For Google stuff, you won't have problems of you delete the right apps. :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
thanks for the answer my friend! :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
You are welcome my friend. :)
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
Low light camera is actually very good. Samsung GS7 is the best in this area but H8 comes close.

Overall you'll see a huge quality bump.

You can customize button press, yes.

If you root you can take almost every gaps from H8.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tmobilefan906:
Note 3 and 4 rocked as well.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] malnabokor:
I can confirm that it makes good (I would not say great it is for the top Samsung devices) pictores in low light. That is the environment where the second camera comes to handy and makes pictures with a bit more light and less noise. The only thing which you have to keep it mind is that you have to hol the phone still since it does not have OIS.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] zinko_pt:
That's, for me the biggest gripe, the lack of any stabilization, either optical or electronic. I can live without 4K.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
i have pretty still hands but my primary need is to take pictures of my baby inside home.. so without that stabilisation thing you think all my pictures will be bad probably? (when baby is moving, so most of the times..)

the huawei gx8 my gf owns has OIS... and the honor 8 doesn't.. how is that possible? gx8 is older and wasn't even a flagship..!! :( her gx8 indeed takes nice pictures also inside home in the evening or outside with low light.. so is that supposed to take better pictures than the honor8..? my god..

tia!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] malnabokor:
You misunderstood me :)

OIS comes handy when you take a video or a >1/30 picture. In normal light conditions it actually does not have any affect on the picture quality. Usually when there is less light (actually during night) the camera software tries to compensate with taking the picture longer. That is when you can enjoy the benefits of the OIS. But if you hold your phone still there is no much a difference between a camera with OIS and without it only if you zoom in. And even with the dual camera you can take better pictures (the second camera catches more light)

So that is it. And the gx8 could have the OIS because it was a single camera. For two camera you have to create an OIS which moves the two camera simultaneously. The Huawei could just finish the development at the Mate 9.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] FcukBloat:
thanks chief! so i guess I'll experience it myself soon, am probably ordering one honor 8 today as my mi5 is gonna take ages to get back after repair in China.. and i need a replacement phone soon.

then if it takes better pictures than the mi5 and if development will arrive, will keep it, otherwise will sell it when i get my mi5 back :p

thanks again! :o
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] malnabokor:
Your welcome and enjoy the phone (and if there are some great pictures you took you are welcome to share them here in the forum).
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] dmooney7291:
Can confirm, absolutely love this phone for photography.

In fact I love this phone hands down, hope you enjoy it was much as I do!
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] samomamo:
Hi, does anyone had issues with fingerprint scanner not working? I updated my software to the latest on A2017U with the October update. After half a day my fingerprint scanner stoped working completely. I tried to reregister it didn't work . I did a Factory reset still nothing its dead .

So its working now by itself, maybe moisture gets in there somehow thats the only thing i can think of. Thanks everyone.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Ratedzelaya:
I have issues with mine too, in the past to fix it I have gone into the finger prints settings and deleted all the ones that are there and then rebooted, then you have to setup your prints again. That seemed to do the trick for me.

http://www.androidauthority.com/problems-zte-axon-7-fix-716895/
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] nakunus:
I couldn't access the device with the fingerprint reader on the first start up after the update, and I also can't access it using the pattern, even though I'm sure I'm entering the right one. So it loos like I have to do a factory reset now
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] norgan:
This fixed my problem.
[Touch CDMA General] anywhereanytime:
When I go to www.youtube.com in Pocket IE, it automatically re-directs to "m.youtube.com". So far so good - everything comes up including the thumbnails. Click on any thumb and you get the expected screen including "Watch Video". BUT ... clicking on that produces an error screen that says "Running a system command on this item might be unsafe. Do you wish to continue?"

Clicking YES only results is a "rtsp ... 3gp" file can NOT be opened.

So, how did this guy back on June 18, 2007 do it on the Touch as shown in this video ??

http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3930

I thought that the Sprint Touch supports 3GPP streaming out-of-the-box ?
[Touch CDMA General] petrochemicals:
streaming media

You need a program called HTC streaming media. Just Google it.
[Touch CDMA General] mbote:
Streaming YouTube on WM6 (Touch included I'd assume)

This would help

http://ytpocket.com

It's a 2-steps thing:

- Download the TCPMP

- Play Youtube content.

HTH....my 2 cents
[Touch CDMA General] ambush276:
second for VTAp. Has videos from all google videos, youtube, and a few other places. Its like connected so its updated the same rate the sites are updated as well. Its just overall great!

i think it s!
[Touch CDMA General] marc.ientilucci:
is any1 having trouble? i did the ytpocket and when visit youtube on PIE my phone pretty much freezes up...
[Touch CDMA General] anywhereanytime:
vTap works great ... thanks for the input !!
[Touch CDMA General] ambush276:
vtap is the best that is what im using. works like a charm.
[Touch CDMA General] marc.ientilucci:
i tried vTap and its okay, but the thing that pisses me off are the load times and the ****ty quality. so i went with typocket.com, they have 2 easy installs that take less than a minute, with GREAT FULL SCREEN quality and super fast load times, almost seems like its streaming ;)

so give ytpocket.com
[Touch CDMA General] ludester:
I've got ytpocket and tcpmp installed. Some reason all videos are very choppy, sound is clean but video looks like its refreshing slowly (like if you don't have the proper video card drivers installed on your pc thats how it looks) Its not buffering or anything.

Are there any tweaks I have to apply to get better video frame rate?
[Touch CDMA General] cruise350:
Go into options and switch it from DirectDraw to raw and your videos should be smoother.
[Touch CDMA General] cruise350:
You have to unintstall the macromedia flashplayer 7 in order for you to successfully view the regular youtube site.
[Touch CDMA General] ludester:
thank you that did the trick :)
[Touch CDMA General] bizuca:
Which options ?

Thank you
[Touch CDMA General] 360discgolf:
Another good option

I have used vTap and I though it was very good, although I had to put up with a lot of wait icons.

I have been experimenting with this option... http://www.avotmedia.com/ and it has been quite usable so far. Video is very smooth and I have not had one single wait icon while using this program.

Check it out. I originally heard about here or PPCG, one of the two.

I use this

works good

Full Youtube is kinda fun and boredom saving

I own a Sprint Touch and just installed this cab and m.youtube.com now works with IE!! I did not have to do a regedit either...

[Touch CDMA General] jlsubaru:
I use www.tinytube.net works well also allows you to stream or download if you choose.
[Touch CDMA General] alpha_omega:
What does the cab actually allow you to do? When to the link but really didn't have an explanation of what it does.
[Touch CDMA General] agentmikeyd:
does this work with full youtube or just m.youtube.com (mobile youtube)??
[Touch CDMA General] spuzzum:
Try using ORB
[Touch CDMA General] arguinto:
The cab installs HTC Streaming Media ver 2.1 (Build 518.700). So when you go to m.youtube.com via IE, it launches the application. You can watch the video full screen landscape mode if you want to.. it works really well...

arnold
[Touch CDMA General] courtlandre:
You have no idea what you are missing. Tinytube mangles the video quality.

Attached is what I use. Full quality videos from tons of sites and more being added all the time. To install, install the TCPMP provided (doesnt work with other versions) and then install flash bundle.
[Touch CDMA General] nswenson:
I second this approach. By far the best quality and works with many stream sites including several porn ones if you're into that. Very easy setup... just install the 2 cabs above and go straight to the desktop version of youtube. The quality will amaze you.

Nate

Edit: Make sure you use IE. The streaming will not work from any other browser.
[Touch CDMA General] oscarsalgar:
PIE freezes my phone

I tried that and my phone freezes when I go to youtube using PIE. I already installed Flash player 7, but it happens anyway. So I´m using vtap. The video is a bit choppy and the sound is not well syncronized with the image, but for now it's the best solution i've found
[Touch CDMA General] Maldrien:
I've tried the 2 cab listed above and IE freeze when i go to the google page. I will try Vtap now

YouTube launches new and improved mobile site for cellphones

Hot of the press

http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/24/...improved-mobile-site-for-cellphones/#comments

Just went to m.youtube.com and it works !!
[Touch CDMA General] daveeckert:
Just my .02 on vTap. I just downloaded it and tried it out, and it works much better than the PIE/Flash hack IMHO. You don't have to navigate the full site - you can just type in your movie and go. And to the previous poster who complained about the quality: go into the options and set the video quality to high (it's on medium by default). Medium looks like crap, high is perfect. As long as you are getting EVDO coverage, it runs great with everything cranked up.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Kujoja:
Hi All,

I am experiencing a media scanning issue with (only) a specific app (so far) - 9gag.

Whenever I download an image from their feed with the dedicated 'save' button, it will save it onto my internal storage (can't change the location of that, just like you can't change it for whatsapp), but it won't show up in my gallery.

When I try to open the imaeg in the file explorer, it says 'scanning media files... try again after scan is completed' - however, no matter how long I wait, I can't open it and it never becomes visible in the gallery.

I tried following things so far:

- reboot: it works, every time I reboot, all files are scanned and in the gallery, however, if I save further images, the new ones won't show up until I reboot again

- stop media scanning service and clear data: no effect

- rename folder: no effect

- rename image file: this works, it shows up in gallery

- copy/move onto sd card: this works too, it shows up in gallery

As you can see, there ARE ways I can make the images visible, but none of them is a sustainable way. I can't reboot or rename after each image I save, that's madness.

Oh and btw, all other apps do work, for example if I save files through screenshots, downloads, Facebook, Line or WeChat, the phone does create a folder in the same way it does for 9gag and the media inside is visible in the gallery with no problems, so it is very likely app specific? I also reached out to 9gag already but i don't think they will reply...

Any ideas or comments (please refrain from anti-9gag comments like I received in reddit lol)?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ElBeaner:
Have you tried a different file explorer to see if you can view/move the file?

I've moved away from ES file explorer cause not a fan of their layout. I use Root Explorer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en

It allows for you to have two directories side by side (I use it to have internal and SD card) so that I can move files easily between the two.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Kujoja:
Thank you, I have tried this app before, but with my old G2. Will try, but I'm wondering if that app has any effect on the media scanning process itself...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Slash310:
I have the same problem. The first photo i saved from 9gag showed up fine, after that, none of the other photos that I saved would show up. I didn't know about the restarting the phone part, to get photos to show up in the gallery. The only way i found to get the photos to show up is to download the app, ScanMediaPlz. After I save a few photos, I tap on the app, and the photos will appear in google photos. best way to get them to show up without have to restart the phone or rename the files. Hopefully it can get fixed later on so they show up right away in Google Photos after we saved them...

One more thing that i hate is that on Google Photos, it doesn't create a Facebook download folder. All photos saved from FB save to the camera folder. In the gallery app that i download it has its own dedicated FB folder with the photos I have saved.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] AndroidUK2016:
I posted this in the general section, but then I found this specific V20 area and hopefully you guys will be far more knowledgeable than I am.

I'm on an EE contract in England. the LG V20 is the phone I want to buy but it's not released here in the UK (ebay seems the only option and the closest).

It's got Nougat but it will eventually have updates. the LG V20 does not seem to be scheduled for release in the UK. How, if possible, can I update the phone's Android since my network does not stock that phone?

And it will work on 4G in the UK too?

Thank you for the help, I'm a novice Android user.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] riz157:
Cause you can update as and when available by the manufacturer if it's unlocked.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] AndroidUK2016:
Brilliant. I didn't know whether it was that simple.

Thanks!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] riz157:
I just took the plunge and bought on eBay should be delivered next few days. I went for H990DS version which is apparently compatible with all 4g networks in the uk.

Still waiting for delivery should be next week by the 8th. Will let you once received and tested.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ixman:
I have an F800 Korean version using it on Vodafone. All 4G bands are supported. The only one missing is the 900MHz HSDPA band. Video calling works just fine. The downside is that you get the operator bloatware and is not easy to get rid of it.

P.S. Check the 4G(LTE) bands of your operator before buying. For example the Korean version you won't get 4G on O2.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] riz157:
Have you tried flashing Global rom?

The version I got is compatible with all networks, will know for sure next week.

How you finding it?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Nolia:
I ordered mine too, so hopefully get it around the 7th/8th. I got the Taiwan version because of more 4G support in U.K. It will be used on EE and 3. In the past I have achieved speeds of 100mb with the Note, so would like to see how this would do as well. Such a shame we have to import... lg should be taking advantage of Samsung's catastrophic failure with the note 7. Oh by the way does anyone know if they share sim and sd card or the sd has its own dedicated slot?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] riz157:

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ixman:
I have the F800S. Is the SK Telecom model with some bloatware but the phone itself is great. Quality build and the audio and camera are superb. I wish I could somehow remove the Korean dialer. Even if you select English it still shows the Korean characters.

AUSSIES interested in the H990DS dual sim with 4g/3g capability, its available for $984 local stock, local shipping, genuine AU 12 month warranty from me. Only sold in 1 retailer outright/unlocked, JB HIFI from 8/11 with a price of $1099.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] smileandsubvert:
Hi all. Bit late to this chat but I've just bought an LG V20 online and am a little worried as LG themselves are telling me that I won't be able to connect to the 4G network at all as the frequencies are different. However the frequencies available on the specifications of the phone DO match the frequencies used by EE for 4G in the UK; are the LG operatives confused? Do your V20s work okay on the UK's 4G ? Thanks in advance :)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] rubiicon59:
I'm also in the UK and I've had my H990ds Taiwan variant for 4 days.

I'm on Tesco Mobile (which uses o2) and 4G LTE is working just fine.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] UKseagull:
I keep looking at the V20, how are you folks getting on with yours? I've seen some comments on Reddit, mentioning screen burn in, poor battery life etc. I suppose you don't get to hear from all the people who are happy with their phone.

Simple we all want the same attention and treatment for software updates just like US version.

Not anything special.

We are too customers of ZTE products and paid even more for purchase the device so we deserve respect and support from them.
