[Nexus 5X Themes and Apps] catsruul:
Hi, I have 2 quick questions.

First- for the bases, what differ between the polling rates/thresholds?

Second- I installed BusyBox>SystemUI Base>3Minit>3Minit resources. There isn't a new icon visible in the statusbar; is there a specific app I need (I downloaded 3Minit battery settings but it only had icon options?)?

Thanks for your work.

Edit: retried with stock SystemUI and Minit resources in /system/app... looks like it isn't working. Does this have anything to do with Magisk (currently on v14, should have BusyBox support)?

Edit 2: Tried your Magisk Aroma as described on the previous page.. unfortunately won't boot. Oh well.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] Themetnut:
Is anyone else running into this problem? I had installed T-Mobile DIGITS and ever since then the android OS keeps the tablet awake when the screen is off. I have since uninstalled the app and factory reset the tablet 3 times and android OS is still keeping the tablet awake even without DIGITS being installed. I am not sure what to do anymore. Can anyone help?

Nothing to do with digits, this a known bug with the tablet wifi chip or software.Only solution is to set wifi disabled during sleep and hope samsung fixes it soon.Check out my posts here on this and the us samsung support forums.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PakRatJR:
Hi all. I have tried searching and looking through posts here but haven't been able to find anything specific for this.

I am thinking about upgrading to the V20 but the one thing holding me back right now is root.

I am not really interested in custom roms and don't really think I would need twrp. I would just be looking for stock but rooted.

I have seen several posts for the unlocked US996 and the mentions that they are not interchangeable, but nothing for the US Cellular version root yet. Has anyone tried root for it yet or know if it will ever be available?

Thanks.

I unlocked and rooted 2 HTC Sprint 10 phones and installed Viper rom on them. I later discovered both home button and finger print are not working.

If you check settings, I can't even find finger print anywhere.

I don't know if anyone has experienced this before.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
My guess is that the phones are running the "old" marshmallow firmware while a new Android Nougat rom is installed.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] olalekanbabs:
You might be right, how do I fix this.

Thanks
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Tarima:
Does Viper no longer ask you which firmware you're on during install? If it still does, reinstall and choose marshmallow.

Else you could update your firmware manually, but safest/simplest route is backing up your phone and running the latest ruu, and then reinstall twrp and Viper.

I had a old HTC wiz, and saved the pim.vol for my contacts, is there anyway i can open this file on my computer to get the numbers and names? i know i can just backup my curent and then move the file to my new phone and bam i have them but it would just be easier for me to merge them on my computer then me having to write all 700 numbers and names down.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] lurker525:
You might be able to use pim backup for this (Stickied at the top of the Development and Hacking forum).

Use it to back up your current PIM.vol and then copy over your old.

Then run the restore feature of pim backup and only add new records don't delete the old ones.

You'll probably have to do some cleanup work if there are any duplicates though.

Hope this helps.

Unforetunately I'm not aware of a way to do this on your PC. If you find one please share.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] billecorgan:
I know this is kind of old but i stumbled across it and wanted to give an answer to what i did. This isn't the nicest way, but if you open the pim.vol with notepad (be sure to check the 'word wrap' option) and search for one contact, you will find them in the middle of all of the garbled stuff. You can then copy each one out of there.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] EmilioDallaTorre:
I think you should flash some stock stuff to have it working again.

In order, you have to restore your stock KDZ: you can use this guide, or try this.

In addition, you could need to follow these steps to restore your Qualcomm micro-firmware (according to your chipset, you’ll have to use some different files).

If you tell me how to recreate this situation, I’ll try something.

Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Battery life for my phone was great until recently. However, the charge hardly lasts one day with not much use. I had a full charge at 1PM and by 8PM phone was down to 30%. Battery usage said the "Google Play Services" used 30% over one hour. I did not install any apps or anything. Is that normal?

Try signing out of all Google services and accounts then sign back in. That's worked for some who've had play services eat their battery.

Same for me. I'm not sure if there's a solution yet. I tried the Magisk Module to optimize the google play services, but it doesn't work on the ph-1 ... it won't save the the setting for battery optimization.

I hope the next play services update will bringt the battery back.

My battery life is amazing 6-8+hrs sot. Seems like it gets better with each new update.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cowisland:
I am disappointed with standby battery drain. AccuBattery Pro app estimates screen off drain of 1.2% per hour. That means I am losing ~10% of battery overnight. Ditto for Android 9 battery optimizations and AI. I feel like my ancient HTC DNA had better standby performance.

I am not aware of any offending apps on my phone, obviously. Instagram ended up on the "restricted" list. That's the only FB related app I have.

I don't enjoy obsessively monitoring the phone, hunting for a combination of settings and apps that maximize battery life. I was hoping Google would take care of it. Needless to say I am not impressed.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levone1:

2) in some situations, when the battery is really bad, you can get it back to life by leaving it plugged in for a long time, or trying different chargers/cables, or trying to hold down different button combinations while plugging it in.

The main question is, what happened to cause it. Did you try to flash something, or drop it, or is it rooted, unlocked, etc...? Can you explain?

With phones starting to ship now I figured I'd get the ball rolling with a camera discussion / Image sample thread. I'll be sure to update this post once I have the device and get some sample shots. With the not so great reviews of the camera, I think this is a great thread to discuss the camera of the Essential phone. I'm sure it's going to bring a lot of debate :)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cb474:
I'm wondering what is the actual sensor being used for the camera. Is it one of the Sony Exmor sensors that most phones use these days? If so, which one? It seems odd to me that this had not been reported on the way it usually is with flagship phones claiming to have great cameras, like the Pixel and U11.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
I feel like the 360 camera was a bad choice as a first accessory.

A super high quality normal snap-on sensor would have changed the way this phone was received.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
The camera issues are software related.

The processing may need tweaking with real world shooting. The app has issues. I think they will sort the camera out. For me it's not a big deal since I almost always have a camera with an APS-C sensor around. I only do phone cameras in an emergency.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cb474:
Essential is saying it's software related in PR statements. But the camera issues have been around for months and they haven't been able to fix it. Droid Life reported on it back in June: http://www.droid-life.com/2017/06/05/essential-phone-camera-sample/

I think it's likely that they are using small 1/3 sensors (in order to have no camera hump in a thin phone); they seem to been avoiding publishing any information about what the actual sensors are in the phone and their size. That would definitely explain the low light issues. No software update is going to fix that.

And there have been so many cell phones that have come out with camera issues and promises of software fixes that never materialize. At best minor improvements happen. So I would not hold my breath for Essential being able to make huge imporvements. If they could have, they would have before they started handing it out to reviewers. It's not like they couldn't go out and snap photos like the reviewers are doing and see the problems (and if they didn't do that, then that level of incompetence makes me believe even less that there will be a miracle fix).

So I think people should be prepared for this being what the camera is more or less going to be like, with maybe some minor improvements.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Kay1000RR:
Sony IMX258

360 camera is IMX378
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cb474:
Thanks. Yeah, I saw that yesterday. As I predicted, the sensor, IMX258, is a 1/3 sensor (and two years old at that). Super disappointing. This definitely explains the bad low light performance (along with EIS instead of OIS). As I said, I really doubt software updates are going to do much to improve it. Samsung has been putting larger sensors (1/2.5) in their phones for four years now. I big part of why the Pixel and U11 have good cameras are because of the 1/2.3 sensors in them. There is just no excuse for a so called "flagship" phone these days have a 1/3 sensor in it.

It seems like Essential was just overly obssessed with their perfectly flat back idea (which I don't even think looks so great, it's almost too plain) and thought they could do "magic" by combining two 1/3 sensors, one in BW mode, and somehow produce better pictures from two lower grade sensors. 2X bad information does not equal good information. Yeah, maybe they'll get a little extra detail out of the extra monochrome sensor. But it's not going to compete with a larger sensor. And it really doesn't look like they have even used the extra monochrome sensor well (while suffering the expense of severe shutter lag while the camera tries to interpolate the information from two sensors).

I'm really disappointed that they cheaped out on the camera and were overly obssessed with not having even the tiniest camera hump (which I think Samsung and Apple have proven people are totally fine with and still think their designs are great). What attracts me to the Essential phone is the large screen in a small phone size (and the titanium and ceramic are nice pluses); but I really don't give a damn about a perfectly flat back. To get the nice design with the screen I was willing to accept the lack of a 3.5 mm jack and other corners they cut on features. But they hyped the camera as being great, when they knew they had inferior sensors in it. If they can't get the things they do have in the phone right, it's hard for me to still want to get this phone (or trust this company).
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
You are are neglecting to factor in the increase in pixel density of the larger sensors.

The 258 has an area of 4.84mm^2 the 318 has an area of 5.24 mm^2 this is a 8% increase in area but a 60% increase in pixel.

With the pixels smaller the light collection ability and noise performance is not necessarily better.

The 318 is the newest mobile sensor that Sony has and it has 1um pixels.

They claim no drop in low light performance and noise from their 1.12um pixel sensors.

Mind you , they do not claim an increase in low light performance or noise,

So I'm not ready to dismiss the camera yet.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
I'm not quite ready to dismiss it either. While the LG G6 may not win any awards for its main camera, it is definitely serviceable. Technically, the essential phone should take better snaps with the monochrome sensor combo too.

The Google camera port should help sweeten things too. I dunno, we'll see.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
Google camera is a port? Not just an app? Will it take advantage of both sensors?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] graffixnyc:
A developer ported the Pixel version of the app with its special SW processing. So it's not really the Google camera but the Pixel camera app. I asked Michael Fisher if he tried the Pixel cam port and if it made a difference and he heard it does improve the camera but he hasn't tried it himself.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] IM0001:
It also might help even more once we get Root as there is adb command to do that allows the Google HDR+ camera to use the hardware imaging processor in the qualcomn chips to work with it. Will be trying this as soon as I can.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] zbt1985:
Interested in seeing this.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] cb474:
Huh?

The 1/2.3 sensor in the phones I was mentioning is something like the IMX378 (in the Pixel). The IMX318 is not in any of the phones I was talking about. The IMX378 in the Pixel and and the sensor in the U11 (IMX362) are physically larger and have larger pixels, 1.55 um and 1.4 um respectively. Or also something like the IMX333 in the S8. That's why they do exactly what I said which is capture more light, rather than mindlessly chase higher megapixel counts.

The IMX318 is just a megapixel chasing sensor (22.5 MP), which is probably why it's only in more gimmicky phones, like the Zenfone and the Mi Note 2. Anyway, it has absolutely zero to do with any of the phones or types of sensors I was talking about. I have no idea why you brought it up.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Goronok:
It's both. Someone ported over the pixel HDR+ processing to work on most snapdragon 820/821/835 devices.

Really works quite well, although no, I don't think it will utilize the B&W sensor.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_head:
Okay, you are right about the 318.

The other sensors, Sony promotes a for cameras and they do not promote mobile. At least officially.

Essential made a design decision not to have a camera bump and also what would fit in the package.

Design is all about trade-offs. I've seen the pics of how full the thing is. Maybe one of the others just wouldn't fit? I don't know. I do know that if the bezels were larger I wouldn't be interested. If it were thicker, same thing.
