[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ponk2k:
honestly i love my g6. in spain right now its really bright and yet im getting 6 hours screen on time with max screen brightness so no issues on battery life, screen is nice, build seems durable and well designed but the camera really is a mixed bag for me.

daytime shots are good, autofocus is fast and you get really good results with minimal blur most of the time. nighttime shots for me are worse than my g4 and only marginally better than the htc m7, focus is slow, shots are grainy and almost always blurry. i can get some reasonable nightime shots on manual settings but its tough.

im wondering is this maybe just bad luck and a dud model on my part tbh

Why do you take bad pictures with it? Take good ones instead.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AstroCoookie023:
I just wanna add that I have noticed some blur and odd pixels if I were to zoom in, but without doing so it looks fine depending on the background. I just took a pic of my bed and I notice that the edges of the bed are bit funny and the wall gives off a weird pixel look. Hard to see but its there. I'm no pro so I'm just saying from what I see xD.

Other than that the phone is good. Just the camera is putting me off when I see that annoying pixel & blur when looking at some images.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rowe90:
For people who are having this problem, the only workaround i found is:

using lightroom or photoshop and applying a camera raw filter 2 times, first one when you open the image with photoshop and the raw editor pops up push the hue filter all the way to -150.

Hit apply, open the filter a second time (shortcut is ctrl + shift + a) and push hue to around -25 (depends on the picture) and the purple should be gone by now.

That second time you can also do your normal adjustments like exposure contrast etc.

Try the Gcam HDR+ port from Pixel 2 XL for night shots
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] raphy3:
Phew. I went through this whole thread, and a few others searching for how to make this camera work. This is just such an incredibly mixed bag. First, using auto or manual I've never seen photos close to as good as some of the ones showing up in this and other threads. What I've noticed is that all the good shots, if they are living subjects, are taken from very close, like a few feet away. I've seen people with nice shots of dogs and cats and they all share this trait, just s couple feet away. Get 10ft or more away and then you need to zoom in on the subject after the shot, and this is a total disaster with this camera. With my old moto pure x, subjects 30-50ft away look clear and crisp. With this camera, those distances are completely impossible. Manual mode doesn't help me here. Now, with the google pixel camera ported over it's completely different. Here are the things the Google camera app does that makes images go from garbage top serviceable.

1. No oversharpening. If anything, images are I the soft side, but that's ok. You might say, avoid sharpening by going to manual mode, But if you use auto exposure in manual mode it introduces another problem with the g6 that the Google can fixes:

2. No excessive noise/grain low light photos (and lets be frank, really any lighting but direct sunlight). I suspect the noise is plentiful, but by making multiple exposures, the app is able smooth away the noise in a way that lg's sophomoric "watercolor" effect cannot. The clarity from noise reduction in the gcam app is in an entire different league, and is stunning considering the camera we're working with.

3. Enables slightly more distance to subject due to these benefits above. Still nothing close to what a bigger sensor and higher resolution get you.

So, now I have a big problem:

1. Video quality is just horrible. Maybe ok in 4k... No google app for that.

2. No wide angle in Google app. Wide angle shots are terrible in stock app of course.

I can't figure out if I should send this back and get something else. The question is what would I get? I need to shoot kids at varying distances and without spending time composing shots and adjusting manual settings. I only have s couple more days to decide.

Very Cool
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] raphy3:
I went ahead and returned mine to Amazon and am waiting on an s8 exynos version to replace it. I'm basing this decision off of indoor photos without flash. My wife keeps sending me pics from her s7 that put mine to shame. The problem is all the extreme noise in low light and the excessive noise reduction on the g6 camera that just ruins faces (they look like Monet paintings). Objects and outdoor photos look great, but people just look really bad to me. The Google camera app helps, but it is very slow (and thus can look like focus is too soft at times) and still doesn't quite get this phone to the level of my wife's, plus you can use the Google app on other snapdragon and exynos phones now. It's a shame. In perfect conditions, I've seen some great photos with the google app, and even a couple of good outdoor pics with the base app, but its too much of a mixed bag and playing around with it to get a good shot distracts me too much.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] raman99311:
Bought lg g6 3 months ago, AT that time camera was very good, clicked decent focused pics, but now the camera glass got scratched a lot, the images and videos gets very blurred and was not able to focus far objects, all the time the focus was locked to macro mode, Then i replaced the back camera glass with a new OEM glass, even after that no changes seen, still blurred pics and videos, Focus locked to macro, Manual focus on manual mode doenst works most of the time , focus is locked, attaching image sample of new glass replaced phone,, image set to 13 megapixel . Tried reset , clearing data and cache of camera, Updated to latest sw

i opened glass cleaned everything inside with shakes and taps, closed it but still unable to focus far objects , focus is always on macro mode, sometimes camera works very good and then suddenly it becomes very bad blurred focus camera, need suggestion on what to do now. i replaced the camera glass by myself , do i still have warranty?

[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] yoGhurrt1:
Hi,

I would like to bump this thread. What I did found out, that for now, Redmi 2 can pass audio through usb only with usb audio player pro - without this app, with DAC connected to microUSB, sound still goes through speakers o minijack. In theory, in base on this document https://source.android.com/devices/audio/usb, most of audio_config files in recent Oreo roms, have this lines of code in kernel. But still, running for example LineageOS 15.1, this problem still appears. Can anyone answer, what could be a reason for that and/or have idea how to debug this problem?

Is there any real reason that Exynos has not made it stateside?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
Note 8 isn't out and neither are any benchmarks comparing the exynos and sd835 head to head.

Samsung doesn't have a cdma modem for sprint/verizon so they need qualcomms modem, which is bundled with the 835 soc.

You'll need to import the international version from europe, pretty sure it'll work on tmobile.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] izora:
I'm on AT&T and just bought an unlocked LG V20 H990N (Hong Kong version). I took the phone to AT&T to get a new SIM card and have it set up, but it wouldn't connect to mobile data. The people at the store told me to call customer service since the phone is considered "jailbroken," and they couldn't get it to connect. Customer service referred me to tech support. Tech support told me the phone isn't being recognized by AT&T's network. The phone is being recognized as a 2G phone, which obviously isn't the case. They submitted a request to provision the phone to their network, which could take up to two week. They said I should have 4G access as soon as it's complete. Has this happened to anyone?

From everything I've read online, the phone should have no trouble working. People use it on AT&T just fine so I don't know why this is happening. I can make and receive calls. It says "3G" at the top, but I can't connect to mobile data. I can use it on WI-Fi only. I'm not a tech savvy person. I was hoping to get some insight here. Any information would be helpful.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PhoneMatrix:
This phone (hong kong version) has several data networks like GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA, HSPA+, TD-LTE, LTE, LTE-A

Theoretically it should work.

Ask someone at the AT&T store to check if the sim card is OK
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] izora:
If the SIM card isn't OK, would I be able to make calls and text like I can now?

Someone mentioned that the phone isn't working because I didn't use my old SIM card. Should this even matter?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] izora:
I went back to AT&T. They tried different APN configurations and eventually got it to connect to mobile data.

But it's only a 3G connection. How do people get 4G LTE with this phone in the U.S.? This is so frustrating.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nsx280ps:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrkerr:
I generally hate these types of threads, but I'm looking for a specific bit of information and a ROM recommendation.

Which ROMs offer the most compete and fullest experience without GApps? I'm seriously considering doing an install with no GApps, and seeing if I can get by with just microG. I'd like the ROM I go with then to come with a nice, full-featured and up-to-date suite of open source apps built in, without feeling like I'm using a bunch of old apps from AOSP that haven't been updated since Holo.

I'm guessing LineageOS and OmniROM are the top choices, but do most microG users prefer one over the other?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
I'd use Chads uber. That rom is more powerful than any other rom and comes with gapps and not many apps. Also you can just use titanium backup to freeze apps
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchtk:
Depends what you need from the google apps. Some work with microg some not.

I only keep google apps because of Google Photos which doesn't fully work under microg.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grushteniak:
Can you please share these alternatives? I'm quite satisfied by now, but it's always nice to have options
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikingMoose:
Interesting. This is the first I've heard of MicroG. I've been reducing my Google footproot for about 6 months now. I have been running with all of my google activity paused for several months. It's actually a pain in the a$$, when I need to use maps, and no data from my locations or area is there, but that's also a good thing, and why I do it. Maps is probably the biggest hassle. If I were smarter, I'd just get another navigation app that I trust more than the Mothership, ha ha.

So, their site says that their version of the playstore doesn't work? So you can't download aps from it? Why do they offer it, is it needed for certain apps maybe? I could live with apk mirror if I needed to. It would just be much more inconvenient.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audioffensive:
What's the reason for you guys to reduce the google stuff then?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrkerr:
There are probably a handful of reasons, but I'll give you my top 2.

First, I am generally trying to avoid closed source software, where the software's inner workings are hidden from the users. If it's going to run on my hardware, and I'm going to trust it with my personal information, I'd prefer that the developer(s) to be transparent enough to let us know what their software is doing on my systems, and with my information. Most all of Google's core apps are now closed source.

Second, I don't like Google's logging policy. They retain as much data as they can, and I think that should give any thoughtful user reason for concern. Google may or may not be doing malicious things with the data they are retaining now, but even if I'm trusting them with my traffic today, knowingly participating while they log activity requires that I also trust that Google will continue to be benevolent with that data in 10, 20, and 30 years into the future, since that data is likely not being lost (particularly as data storage continues to get cheaper and cheaper). Not only that, using their services also requires placing confidence in them that their databases will not be breached at any point in the future, with leaked data falling into malicious hands. To me, it seems to be a virtual certainty that the data integrity will be breached at some point, it's just a matter of time.

Therefore, it seems like an unnecessary risk to take when and where there are good alternatives to Google products and services. Some risks are worth it. Others are not. Let each man judge for himself.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrkerr:
OsmAnd is the open source navigation app many people use.

Similarly, F-Droid is an open source app store.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrkerr:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikingMoose:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HikingMoose:
