[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] j3yps:
Dipends on what that "pocket camera" is, if it's an m4/3 like the Olympus OM-D or even the Canon EOS-M. i don't think Note 8 can compete with those cameras. But if it's like those small Sony "Point and Shoot" cameras, it does stand a chance of being at par if not beating the picture quality of what the Note 8 can produce.

The f1.7 lens is a huge plus because of it's lowlight capabilities and of course the bokeh effect (where the subject in front is focused and the background is somehow blurred). from what i've seen Note 8 also has an Optical Zoom which is waaaaay better than digital zoom IMO.

All in all i think it will be a great move even if you're coming from the S8+, aside from the camera, the S-Pen can offer a looooot of things that will be helpful for productivities (and picture editing too! haha)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] pete4k:
I have Canon DSLR and it does have little better picture quality, but: I don't carry my DSLR with me unless I specifically plan to take a lot of pictures and I have my phone with me all the time. Also in good light, which is most of the time I take pictures, it's hard to tell difference. My S8 is as fast at focusing as my DSLR, S8 have higher FPS for action photos, takes better video in higher resolution (4k) than my DSLR. In other words I use S8 camera most of the time, even if I have my DSLR and use Canon only for specific type of shooting (night, portrait and zoom). Note 8 has the same cam as S8 plus x2 zoom, so better bokeh, but for portrait and telephoto DSLR it is still much better, for everything else I prefer phone, if only for it's size. In my case it's not the cam I'm upgrading from S8 to Note 8, since addition of x2 zoom won't improve capabilities over S8 that much, it's the pen and I suspect it's similar with many others.

Thank you all for your kind and informative replies. I appreciate your time.

One point. Whats a "Bokeh"?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rsswga:
the camera is important but it just depends on what your gonna do with the pictures...most will just share on social or just look at them on there phone..i havent seen a bad picture since i had a nextel flip phone.

for me the s-pen is the main selling point and of course the size of the unit
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] papashex:
I would say the camera features are not important to the "uber mobiles" as you describe but more like the last item that can truly be updated / differentiated on a device for maximum upsurge with minimum cost.

That's all vendors have left to try and create hype for the next flagship.

[Android Head-Units] toolboxjesse:
I own 2 cars in which I have installed the Pioneer AVH-4200NEX AA head unit. I really enjoy the AA experience but there's a design flaw that really annoys me for which I hope to find a solution.

I own a Motorola Droid Turbo phone. This phone and many phones on the market since then with large batteries support what Motorola calls Turbo Charging (other brands refer to it by different names) to enable very quick charging of the large battery. Motorola provides a Turbo Charging wall charger with these phones and I also purchased a 12V version from Motorola for my car.

The issue that I have is that when my phone is connected to my Pioneer and AA is running, the phone won't ever really reach full charge, and often will in fact discharge so that my charge level is less at the end of my commute/errand than it was when I started. The Turbo Charger was apparently not considered in the design of these head units for large-battery phones. Due to this I need to choose to connect my phone to the Head unit for AA or to my Turbo Charger in the 12v port.

What I am hoping to find is an intermediate device that will permit my phone to charge via the Turbo Charger method but still transmit data to the Head Unit properly for the AA experience. Does something like this exist? coming to market? Or am I stuck with this issue?

[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
You should not connect it to the USB port of your radio. That one delivers perhaps 500 mA tops.

It is as simple as that and pure USB design. Nothing to complain about and it has nothing to do with your Pioneer.

So use your 12V motorola loader and connect your phone via BT or WiFi to your pioneer.
[Android Head-Units] m0tyrider:
I believe the higher end headunits have 1.5amp USB ports, check what pioneer rate your one at.

Bit annoying as you need USB to use Android auto
[Android Head-Units] toolboxjesse:
That is not a relevant response to my inquiry- there is no Wireless AA connection to this head unit, and as far as I am aware any AA head unit currently on the market.
[Android Head-Units] toolboxjesse:
Unfortunately 1.5 amps isn't turbo charging. Turbo charging I think is 25 watts, so that would be at least 5 amps.
[Android Head-Units] surfer63:
Then your question did not contain the relevant info as you didn't mention that. All cheap Chinese units do have WiFi.

And can't your unit (not even) use Bluetooth tethering?
[Android Head-Units] toolboxjesse:
Android Auto (what this post is regarding) is Android Auto- we aren't referring to wireless tethering.
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
Motorola is just rebanding what is actually "Qualcomm Quick Charge".

Firstly, quick charge works at a higher voltage than USB ports are capable of delivering. USB ports provide 5 volts. Quick charge works at 9 volts, or newer iterations of it at 12 volts.

Second, quick charge is actually bad for the battery, despite claims that it is ok. The slower you charge the battery, the longer it will last.

Third, ESPECIALLY when you are subjecting the battery to high load, quick charge causes unusually high temperatures. This again, is very bad for the battery.

Forth, Android Auto causes the phone to be subject to especially high loads. Rather than the radio doing processing and GPS, that stuff is actually all done on the phone, which causes high temperatures and high power consumption, which is why you notice that even while plugged in, it still drains the battery. GPS can be especially hard on the battery.

There is nothing you can do to make this "good", except to stop using Android Auto. This can be done by using an actual ANDROID head unit, instead of an Android AUTO head unit. You are actually in the android head units forum and not the android auto head units forum.
[Android Head-Units] toolboxjesse:
Sigh...I'll post this in another forum. BTW don't hate on Motorola Turbo Charging. I've had my Droid Turbo since it came to market in 2014 and using the Turbo Charger have had no problems with killing the battery.

[Android Head-Units] edit:
What [MENTION=8472040]luciusfox[/MENTION] told you about the turbo charging is correct. Heat is the enemy of the li-pol batteries... and also charging to 100% each time or draining them to 0%... and it's not killing the battery right away... is just lowering the bettery life/capacity... wearing it a lot faster.

You probably had no problems but the batter life was shorten considerably by turbo chargeing... of course if you only had 1 phone and you turbo charge it you can't tell the difference... but if you had 2.... 1 would be turbo charged each time and the other charged with a low power charger like 5v 1A after 1 year of use the phone that was slowely charged each time would hold a charge a lot longer... 20-35% longer
[Android Head-Units] Rottgrub:
Maybe try a powered hub with a car plug. Hub charges the phone while AA still gets signal. Worth a shot.

Cheers!
[Android Head-Units] luciusfox:
Your USB hub will not be able to provide over 5 volts.

Turbo charge works at 9 or 12 volts.

Let me explain; V = I*R

Voltage = Current * Resistance.

The resistance is essentially a constant. That means that voltage and current are proportional.

The voltage we are talking about here is the difference between the battery voltage and the charger voltage.

If your battery is 3.75 volts and your charger is 5.0, that means that the voltage we are looking at is 1.25.

So say your resistance is 4 ohms. That means that your current is going to be 312 mA.

If you crank the charger voltage up to 9, then your voltage increases by 9-4=5, so you have 6.25 volts, and the current jumps up to 1.56 A.

If you go up yet another step to 12 V, then you have a difference of 9.25 volts, and a current of 2.3 A.

Now I can read your mind, because your next thought will be to hook up the power wires from the fast charger and keep the data lines connected to AA. That isn't going to work either, because the fast charger needs to communicate with the phone in order to know what the battery level is, and adjust the voltage correctly, otherwise it would make your battery explode the first time you use it.
[Android Head-Units] Rottgrub:
Turbo charging makes use of the data lines on order to provide additional power over USB, so won't work with AA where you need data. My reasoning for suggesting the USB hub is that many headunits don't provide reliable power through their USB ports, and a secondary power source could provide the little extra "umph" to keep hit battery from draining during use.

When i plug the charger into the socket its continuously beeping then i connect my S8+ into the charger, mobile cant charge and charger continuously beeping what should i do??

Throw the charger away, as it sounds defective. Then buy a new charger.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Definitely a fake/replica fast charger, if you're in Pakistan like me, the shops and local market are flooded with these chargers.

I remember going to a different city and I had forgotten the original Adaptive Fast Charging brick of my S6 at home, so I picked one up for 7 USD (~700 PKR), and it had the same problem. It was really cheap quality, used to make this weird beeping/buzzing noise while plugged in and would get way too hot, so I threw it in the trash.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] davtse:
Just to let you guys know, you can have the charging indicator as a notification light if you have

1) root

2) tasker or another similar application.

The command to use the led is

Echo X > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness

X to be substituted for values 0,1,2,3.

0 = off

1 = fast blink

2 = slow blink

3 = solid

Unfortunately the led is only white but beggars can't be choosers.

You need 2 profiles, one for when the notification comes on, and one for when the notification is removed.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] governmentissuejoe:
I have a basic understanding of Tasker. Once these 2 profiles are created do I need to do anything else for my apps such as messaging or email to use them? Would you be able to attach your profiles?

The LED was always used for notifications for me on LineageOS, without needing any additional applications.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] davtse:
That's lineageos. Unfortunately for those of us who want to use stock we have not much of a choice.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] Baronik:
Apart from promoting Moto App where you have notifications on screen, I see no reason why we can't use LED for notification without root. It'll be very useful...
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_m:
Great find! Unfortunately it is not working overly well on my Moto Z Play. The LED blinks very erratically. I even tried scripting my own blink pattern with the following code:

Run echo 3 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness
Wait 2 seconds
Run echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/charging/brightness
Wait 2 seconds
Goto start

Sometimes, the LED lights up for 2 seconds and goes dark for 2 seconds. Other times I see the LED blinking for a split second, and going dark for ~3.5 seconds. Something seems to interfere or the LED reacts slowly at times.

Btw., I am running the official Lenovo Marshmallow.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] davtse:
It's doze or some stock power save feature i think. I have the same problem on stock. Sigh.

The notification detection isn't the issue, the system seems to go wonky when the screen goes off, its like the led timer isn't consistently firing off the alarm.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] daniel_m:
In order to test my task, I ran it with "screen on". Therefore I didn't even think about doze or other power saving mechanisms.

Damn-it! It is working correctly now :(

I didn't change anything in tasker. I use the following settings: "Run In Foreground -> On", "Show Notification Icon -> On", "Use Reliable Alarms -> Never" and "Reduce Resource Usage -> On"
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] davtse:
Weird... Mine only seems to go wonky when the screen has been off for a while.

official support of the M7 stopped at android 5.0.2 for Sense version and 5.1 for GPE version.

You'll only find custom rom for Marshmallow and Nougat. I wouldn't recommend Marshmallow roms, they are unstable. Nougat roms work fine when used with the GPE firmware.

If you're anything like me you absolutely hate ads. Typically I download adaway and don't think twice about it, but in our device's currently unrooted state I needed another solution. I was browsing around the forums and stumbled across this app.

I would say it's comparable to adaway in terms of actual ad blocking ability, which is pretty good. I don't get any ads on Tapatalk, chomp sms, Spotify or quickpic, all of which I did before the app. A few will occasionally slip through on YouTube and Firefox but they are tolerable.

The only real downer is, due to lack of root the app has to stay alive in the background and adds a key icon in the status bar as well as the number of ads blocked in the notification tray.

Overall I'm satisfied with it and it's proven to be a must have without root.

Hello Friends,

I've Huawei GT3 phone with me, i've purchased it from Dubai. I'm using this in india but couple of weeks ago i tried to flash the indian variant firmware on this phone. I was managed to run huawei 5c on this phone. But then i decided the go deep and tried to update the phone to the latest honor 5c firmware which ended up making my phone dead. Now i can't enter into fastboot neither can enter the recovery. My phone is neither starting nor charging. It's stuck at the honor 5c logo. I can't do anything. I've been to the service enter but they first said they can't do anything as this phone has been purchased out of india. So i decided to get it repaired by local mobile shop, but they can't repair it. I requested huawei service center to install indian firmware on my own risk but they i think have formally agreed and after couple of days they return me with out any success. I know my rom might be corrupt but i want the help guys because that's the only phone i have with me. Please if anyone has any idea regarding this then revert me here. You're help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Do a Google search for:

"Return to stock (your model number)"

Get the original stock firmware restored then flash the working 5c firmware that you had but don't try to update it this time.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] thevoiceabove:
I need some insight into the P10 camera. In auto, the rear camera seems to incorrectly read exposure so I find it overexposures the screen in bright sunlight or situations of high contrast. It's very hard taking a picture when a slight tilt of the phone makes it switch from dark to light in an instant. Just as bad in selfie mode.

Is this normal? Is there anyway to adjust it?

I find it mystifying as it's incapable of taking a simple pic in an ordinary scenario which most other good phones on the market are capable of doing by default.

Of course there is manual mode where you can adjust the EV but it should be able to do this automatically.

When you hold you finger on screen you can change exposure I think (a circled sun icon appears) ? You move it with finger still on screen to see differences.
