[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Alaadragonfire:
Just install app cloner from play store and import the camera app with motion photos, install it as another camera app. Done , now you will have the original one and the one from Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jl9fn:
Force close this app in 8.1, not running for me. :crying:
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] bl0wndiff:
It won't install because 8.1 comes with Camera 5.1.xxx and you can't install older version (5.0) over it.

I did those steps and it works for me(I have motion photos, face retouching and other Pixel 2 features):

0. Root is required for this

1. Using TitaniumBackup uninstall Camera application.

2. Download Camera 5.0 version: GoogleCamera.apk

3. Place the downloaded GoogleCamera.apk to system/app folder

4. You will have to change permission for that downloaded apk: chmod 755 GoogleCamera.apk

5. Restart your device
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] jizang:
So one question, the portrait mode in the pixel 2 is software based, does that mean we will get it too?
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] @rka:
It's true that most of the portrait mode work is done by software in Pixel 2/XL. They identify the known shapes and separates the foreground and background. But there is a difference in hardware too. Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL has a dual pixel sensor(each pixel is divided in left and right sensor). This helps them create a depth map and enhances the background blurring. It's unlikely Pixel 1st Gen portrait mode will be as good as the 2nd Gen ones.

I am not saying it won't come. It may. But it won't probably be as good as the 2nd Gen. Then again, Google folks are smart, may be they will figure out a way.:fingers-crossed:
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] Donric13:
Yes. Delete GoogleCamera in system /app (with twrp), restart and deinstall app and install this app. So you got motion photo working in 8.1. Don't forget to disable updates for camera in playstore.
[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] fahmi182:
And front camera can do portrait mode, its not dualpixel sensor ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] emmanuelw:
The V20 has a directional setting for the sound when recording video. You can bias the recording to sounds coming from either the lens side or the screen side of the phone. The former is great for when you are recording people or events, the latter has been fantastic when the shooter is commenting on what is being videoed. Does the V30 still have this front-to-back mic bias selector?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
The V30 does not have that slider. Not exactly sure why but the guess is due to the mic arrangement.

The V20 had three mics that were constant and could be switched between. (Although, to this day I still can't find anything that shows where the third mic was.) The V30 has two mics and the RAM (Receiver As Mic) when the decibels get high enough. You don't get to control that last one, it just comes on when the volume of what you're recording hits an ear splitting level. So there's really only two mics recording the rest of the time.

Any time I've been out trying to record with the V20, the slider only made a minor difference. I'd still pick up ambient noise from behind me. So my second guess is that LG decided the slider wasn't doing enough to justify its inclusion this round. Reality is that there's a reason you run separate soundtrack recording from video if you're really doing sound sensitive recordings. (That's part of the reason you see that clapboard at the beginning of filming for movies and videos. It gives an audio and visual alignment point for mixing the two later.)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] emmanuelw:
Thank you for your detailed answer! Have you tried that RAM solution in a noisy environment or have some link for an audio test? In fact I can't find much audio recording tests online for the V30 despite its growing popularity as if no one cares about it ...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Oh yeah, I definitely had it kick in on me Wednesday night. I was standing in front of a speaker stack at a concert. A message pops-up when you start recording and it senses you're in such an environment. You probably won't see many tests of the RAM as it takes something around 120 decibels to kick in. My left ear is still ringing from Wednesday night and yesterday I was dizzy.

That said, how does it sound? As long as what you're recording stays constant, it sounds pretty good. If there's changes, specifically loud to extremely loud, you hear a change that makes you realize it's just applying a simple filter to the audio. Which is to be expected. To pull off the miracle of having the sound keep a constant in such a situation would require a much larger recording operation than will fit in a phone. (My audio geek friends are still surprised at what control you can get with the V series.)

Once I know I can hear what I recorded the other night, I'll load some up to YouTube and link back on one of the threads here.

Eagerly awaiting to hear your recordings! Thank you so much!

Not sure if this is place to ask this, but how do you get rid of samsung pay? I have no use for it and dont want it on my phone (Tmo Note 5 7.0 QG3 stock rom running Magisk 14.0). I tried using terminal emulator debloat but it didnt work at first but read somewhere that you have to uninstall the updates first but everytime I try to do that my phone reboots. Same thing for samsung+. I go into settings, apps, click on samsung pay or framework or +, click uninstall and boom the phone reboots. It also will not let me disable it either. I have searched google for the last 2 days trying to figure out why it is doing this but could not find anything. Can someone please help? I just want it off my phone.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rondeau79:
If you have access to a laptop or PC, download Wug Fresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. After installing go through the steps to setup your version of operating system. Go to restore from boot loop and follow the instructions.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=7543015]Rondeau79[/MENTION]: Except he isn't in a bootloop, thus the toolkit won't do him any good.

[MENTION=8633308]Llebowski[/MENTION]: The solution to your erase problem is to do nothing. The Nexus 6 internal storage is encrypted by default, and erasing an encrypted volume takes a lot of time, especially if it has a lot of data in it. Three hours isn't uncommon. If it still is trying to erase as of the time I write this, then we'll have to dig deeper, but for now, be patient.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rondeau79:
As long as a computer recognizes the device and fastboot works, he can get himself out of that mess.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=7543015]Rondeau79[/MENTION]: Your previous comment assumed the OP's device was in a bootloop. It's not, and therefore the instructions you gave him were incorrect and would not have fixed the problem. The OP should not be using a toolkit in any event, but should learn how to use ADB and Fastboot by themselves.

Your current comment also will not help, because by the time the OP's device has notified the OP of the erasure occurring, it's too late for fastboot commands to do anything. In fact, once the erase has begun, it must complete or else the internal storage may become corrupted.

The only effective solution to the OP's problem is to do nothing and let the erasure finish.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rondeau79:
There are many different ways to skin a cat! Meaning there a multiple ways to fix a problem. One way might not be the same as another, but the ends will justify the means. This guy is looking for help, the OP has nothing to do with the way the problem can be solved. I could easily have that phone fixed in about 15 minutes. Chill out dude!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
[MENTION=7543015]Rondeau79[/MENTION]: Reading comprehension failure on your part? OP's thread title is "Nexus 6 on Erasing Screen for 3+ hours after attempted factory reset - Help please??" The additional information provided by the OP is that this phone is bone stock and not rooted. The guy is looking for help. He is trying to understand why his phone is still doing the erase step after initiating the factory reset three hours previous.

The only reason you're getting so defensive in your most recent post is because you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about, and know it. The specious claim that you could have the OP's phone fixed in fifteen minutes proves it. So, instead of telling me to chill out - something I don't need to do because I'm perfectly fine - you need to own up to your mistakes and do some research before tossing out random snippets of "help" that have nothing to do with the OP's problem.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
Sometimes running the RUU for your exact phone model will restore all functions. Then flash back your choice of custom rom.

Be very sure the RUU you use is the one for your model. Being S-0n and installing the wrong RUU will result in a bricked phone.

Edit: xunholyx's post below is correct about S-0n rejecting the wrong RUU. But I'm a 1%-er who has destroyed an S-0n phone by flashing

things it did not reject beforehand. So, be careful that it's ONLY made for your exact phone to be safe.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lody.bonny.lb@gmail.com:
you mean flashing RUU several times ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
No. Flash RUU once, do a factory reset, then check to see if all functions are correct.

If they are OK, flash TWRP recovery and your favorite custom rom.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lody.bonny.lb@gmail.com:
OK i'll try when i get home and till you what happens
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
Actually, that is incorrect. S-On will save you from getting bricked. 7

Also, if you try to run the RUU without the proper MID and CID to match the android-info.txt in the RUU, you'll get a fail and abort, and that will happen if you are either S-On or S-Off.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lody.bonny.lb@gmail.com:
i've done that and every thing still not working
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
What are the problems with the stock rom ?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] lody.bonny.lb@gmail.com:
actually i don't know about CID and MID all i know that i am choosing WWE x.xx.401.x RUU

camera still not working and status bar and headphone jack nothing work
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] michaelbsheldon:
If you 100% sure that the RUU ran ok and did it twice, then that phone has hardware issues that roms won't fix, sorry......

[Touch Cruise General] allanmb:
I just got my Orbit 2 yesterday after almost going for the Stellar. I must say this is the best XDA I have had yet (had the 2, 2i, and Exec). I have a couple of small niggles but the main one is:

Can I charge the unit and have the earphones connected at the same time with an additional accessory?? One of my intended uses for the phone was to replace my in-car iPod nano. I would need to be able to charge the unit and have a headphone-jack plugged in at the same time!

My other problem so far is that I cant seem to connect to HSDPA - always 3G but I havent done much testing with this yet...

Thanks

Allan
[Touch Cruise General] mikealder:
What you want is a 3 in 1 addator something like http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=161664&asource=159608 should do what you want, I have a similar device to connect my Artemis, although if you want the best audio quality then I would look at A2DP for a wireless audio output - Mike
[Touch Cruise General] BadTasteUK:
Apparently, O2 are only just rolling out their HSPDA network, so you might not be in a coverage area. If you can find someone with an N95, that displays 3.5G when it's got HSPDA connected. Also, some have not had access to some services due to old SIM cards, but I'm not very up on that info.

Finally, just check you have the HSPDA option checked in the settings menu, under connections.

Good luck! :)
[Touch Cruise General] allanmb:
Could you please enlighten me to what A2DP is? That 3 in 1 adaptor looks like what I require but if it degrades the audio quality too much then I will opt for the A2DP (if I knew what it was ;) )
[Touch Cruise General] allanmb:
Ah ok - I dont know anyone else with HSDPA phones close by so not sure if I am in an enabled area although I thought I would be (Gateshead area). I have just bought the phone with new sim card so hopefully they will have given me a nice new sim that is compatible, and yes it is enabled on the phone ;-)

I'll give it more of a try in the next few days. Out of interest what is the speed difference between UMTS and HSDPA?

Thanks

Does it think I'm driving when I'm not ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] timeToy:
There is a listener in the Google Home screen search widget (It even say so on the widget itself!!) , it is working only when the widget is in view (on the home screen)

The setting you are showing is for system-wide detection, all the time, even when inside apps.

To avoid detection on while on the home screen disable the google search widget.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] silestanix:
Hi all, bit of background, I had my Z3c for just over 2 years and 6 months, heard the news about the XZ1c and soon as it was out I jumped at the chance of buying it.

Sadly, I haven't bonded too well with it.

Compared to my Z3c the battery life hasn't been all that good even using stamina. That's with minimal screen on time too. My Z3c used to do almost 2 days, this I can get a day and that's barely! Greenify is in use to kill apps etc.

After a full charge with battery care enabled I'm losing a load of charge and God knows where...!

SwiftKey absolutely sucks on this phone unless I have stamina turned off.

Vibration is bad, I've had to turn it off on the keyboard.

I also want to find a way to mod the stamina mode 3 so it's device performance but kills data too just as per the Z3C.

I'll attach some screen shots too so you can see what I mean... Just a bit disappointed.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] j-san:
Your experience is similar to mine. I have about 30% left when the day is over and that is with having about 2-3 hours of screen time. I turned off the majority of location and updates and keep screen brightness to a minimum. Despite not being as good as what I was expecting, it's better than the Pixel I had before this phone which couldn't make it through my usual 16 hour day without being plugged in.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] profyler:
that an estimated time only, depending on your history use.

but yeah z3c was kinda king with battery... i dont think this one will be. Sna835 is powerefficientier but remember that apps will be alway hungrier too.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] silestanix:
It's better than majority of phones on the market... I think the Z3C spoilt us though, it was definitely king, even at its age it still gives well over 36 hours use.

The only strange thing I see is high battery drop over night.

It goes more than 10%, I was hoping for 3%. Phone idle battery consumption is on top then. I hope it will change in the future ROMs.

Do you guys see it also?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] profyler:
you can limit an app on background and also limit its data use. make a test: close all aps overnight and see if it changes.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] silestanix:
I'm gonna try this, as I'm also seeing a big battery drop overnight. My Z3c used to drop 2% overnight, this drops massively.

I think the stamina mode isn't the same as previous z compact phones. Really really struggling to bond with this phone man lol.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] profyler:
well see if there is app eating your battery in the battery stats. if yes than choose the option on the app to limit it on background. Dont forget to limit its data plan on background too in the data plan menu.

reboot the phone. close all aps and go to sleep. :p

tell us if something changed.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
I've noticed that Google Play Services seems to get the hump if you have any extended stamina mode. When I check app battery usage with stamina mode on, GPS is one of the top users. But not there with stamina mode off. If fact stamina mode seems to use more battery than if its turned off. I need to do a few more charges to confirm.

Battery life is excellent btw, better than any phone I have had before. Regularly getting to three days of use.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] luisdev:
I have power mode activated with zx1 compact I disable the vibration jacket and some useless application kindeXXX is still improved battery life
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] silestanix:
So it's been a few days! So far I've:

- Changed my SwiftKey setting to vibration off,

- stamina mode changes to performance orientated instead of battery life biased like before,

- auto brightness off

- Limited MANY app's background data and background running as above (cheers for that mate)

- priority mode on to alert me of important calls only, everything else just uses the notification light with no sounds.

I'm now finally, because of the above, beginning to see 2 days battery life almost 3 days last week!

Still more to do for good battery like instead of just stamina mode On like on the Z3C but hey I guess I can live with it!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] silestanix:
So as happy as I am... Still can't get to the bottom of why it loses the first 10% so fast?! Check this out, taken off charge like just over an hour ago and I've lost 4% already!

From 80% onwards it lasts a good while but damn man why's it losing the initial 10% or so that fast?!
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] silestanix:
This is my battery life for the last few days, it's been good... But this is doing my head in, losing first 10%so fast...

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] ghareebinc:
can you guys tell which variants are you using (us/uk/other)??
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] idinfinity:
some more info

Some more info. I think that turning off the Wi-Fi in standby is not the case. I called in Russian Sony support and they told me to try to put my phone in safe mode (press and hold unlock button then hold power off and phone will reboot in safe mode) and see the battery level next night. And magic! The battery just went from 95 to 93% during the night! So following the logic of Sony support the problem lies in one of the apps, not the phone. In addition I was trying turning off constant search of Wi-Fi and BT before safe mode method - the power loss was the same - around 15%.

So next I will wipe the phone and will install 1 app each day untill understand what eats the battery so much and will let you know.
