Graphical glitches

I have been having issues with AA since day one. On both 2017 A4 and XC90, the map would start having graphical glitches tearing minutes after AA is launched.

I tried different cables, turning on/off settings. Nothing works. Even after a replacement phone, same issue persists. Here is the link to a video that I shot. I see no one reporting such issue, I can't be so lucky to have the only two PH1s that have this issue can I?

Apparently, I am not able to attach links before i post 10 posts. If anyone is interested, I can PM the link...

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] philip.dimanov:
I have the same experience with my Mitsubishi Outlander. For me most of the time it is not disturbing at all. If the glitches are going too far I am simply switching from navigation to audio and then back and everything is back to normal.

You're not the only one. ;)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] JoeZ89:
Thank god someone's with me lol! That is exactly what happens to mine. I figured if you set the application mode to retail, it switches to different tabs automatically every now and then so the graphics never glitches, but it can get annoying if you are using the navigation though.... I really hope they fix this, but seeing through nothing changed from naugot to Oreo beta 1 and then beta 2, I am not having my hopes high.

For those using trying on the '16 Accord, call your local Honda dealer and tell them you want the update in Service Bulletin 16-059 installed.

I just had a new radio installed in my '16 Accord yesterday (unrelated issue) that undoubtedly had this update, and Android Auto works flawlessly. I'm not 100% sure this will fix it, but this is the best potential fix I can find. The '16 Civic came out later and probably has the fixes in this SB in tow on their radio by default that allows AA to work.

In short, it appears that this isn't really an Essential issue, it's more a Honda issue. I'm kinda embarrassed I gave Essential a hard time about it. Not sure they can do anything, and if you take that update in SB 16-059, they might not have to.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Rahuuler:
You should visit the service center regarding the issue might be useful.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] surface13:
I just made an appointment for Wednesday to get this TSB update to my '16 Accord Touring. I'll update you guys to let you know if AA ends up working for me.

I really hope it does!

EDIT: I got my car back and it is in fact working! Thanks [MENTION=5042338]joenforcer[/MENTION]

[MENTION=2006152]lakers6902[/MENTION] call your local Honda service dept. and get the TSB update to your HU. My HU was rooted, they didn't mention anything about it. They did the update, and it's working now. Off to root the HU again!

No problems with Android Auto and a 2016 Chevy Volt. Using an Anker 3-foot USB C cable bought off Amazon.

It is actually better than my LG G3. For some reason, whether it is Android 6 or LG's customization, everytime I plugged in the phone, I had to unlock the phone and confirm a stupid security prompt. With Ph-1, I just plug it in and it just works - which is the way it should be.

Essential phone running stock with latest updates.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] supaet:
I'm on stock 8.1 final. Trying to get it to work with Honda CR-V.

Some how I have to enable usb debugging for it to work. But it disconnects and reconnects from time to time.

If usb debugging is not enabled it would just charge. I tried many cables and my LG g5 is working flawlessly.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dwj:
As the OP of this thread, I finally took the plunge & got a PH1 & can happily confirm that everything is working flawlessly, including Android Auto. In my case, it's on a 2016 VW golf.

Edit.

Actually, sorry to say, no longer working flawlessly. There seems to be some Bluetooth problems with this phone. Android Auto all going well with music, satnav, messaging etc and then when I make a phone call, the sound comes out of the phone speaker instead of the car. After a restart, it works properly again with calls coming through the car speakers like everything else. This is very poor as it's not practical to be rebooting your phone while driving!

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Selim873:
I don't have issues with connectivity, but when it comes to using it for music, it doesn't work correctly for some reason. It has to be an issue with AA itself, because I've had the issue randomly happen on my Nexus 6P as well and a factory reset was the only way I could fix it as removing cache, uninstalling and reinstalling both AA and Spotify didn't fix it. The car I'm driving is a 2017 Chevy Cruze Premier.

What would happen is I would call out to play Song Name by Artist (As an example).

What it's supposed to do is the car responds back "Okay! Asking to play Song Name!" then it just plays from Spotify and it pulls up the correct song with 100% accuracy. On my Essential, I'll say the same thing and it'll respond "Okay! Asking Spotify (Or Google Music) to play Song Name by Artist" and it would only work maybe 40% of the time of all the different songs I ask for. The other 60%, it'll either pause for 30 seconds then play the wrong song with a similar name, or the screen will say "That didn't work, please try again". Like I said, it also happened on my Nexus 6P randomly at one point and never fixed itself and a whole factory reset of the phone fixed it. If it was doing that out of the box on the Essential, I think the Essential has a few bugs in that department.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] :
Hello,

I wanted to know what is the highest resolution supported in Youtube app on this device, on stock ROM.

For example, on my device(SM-P601) I'm using Lineage OS 14.1 and my maximum is 1080p60. I think I was able to select 1440p60 on stock ROM but I'm not sure, so needed to confirm.

Can you please post what is the highest resolution you can select in Youtube app (if you're using stock ROM) ?

And also your device name(like SM-P601).

Thanks.

EDIT - Nevermind, I got the answer.

SM-P601 only supports upto 1440p30 videos on Youtube app(I'm not sure about Snapdragon ones). As Youtube doesn't provide separate 30fps option for 60fps videos 720p and above, this means:

* Highest resolution available for 60fps 2K/4K videos is 1080p60

* Highest resolution available for 30fps 2K/4K videos is 1440p (2K, works as intended)

[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I just found out about this. Since my Nexus 5 isn't being used at the moment, I figured I'd try it out. I came from webOS using a Pre Plus before coming to Android so it's awesome to see this. I installed it and it works. It's not perfect obviously but it's still cool to see it again. I actually still have my Pre Plus but I like seeing it on a bigger screen. Are any of those ipk files worth installing? Has anyone tried them? And is this in active development? I see some recent nightlies but went with the stable version.
[Nexus 5 General] EricBlade:
Yes, LuneOS is in active development. They are presently working on porting in a huge number of packages that LG just released open source for their new webOS open source edition release.

[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hsanjay19:
Guys I'm considering buying the Honor 8 and want to know how it performs daily after months of usage. Any lagging/stuttering/slow downs?

Reviewers say the phone is fast and but I remember them saying that about Honor 5X too...but it was laggy and slow from day one and only custom roms made it a little bit better for some time, until they too began to lag and be slow in general use.

I've heard that Honor 8 doesn't let you use all 4GB of RAM (somewhere on reddit) and that's got me concerned too.

Please share your long-term experiences with this phone and help me out. Thanks!!
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SharxX8:
Don't know about the ram because it wasn't needed yet.

( I usually only use around 2 gigs).

Got mine in January and other than the battery degrading maybe a little it's still snappy as ever.

But forget custom roms entirely for now and software updates are painfully slow. Oreo is still questionable atm so theres that. And don't get the 64gb models. It seems the update situation is way worse there.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] hsanjay19:
Thanks! Notice any bugs after the stable Nougat update?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] SharxX8:
Personally, no. However depending on the model that may vary. But I'm sure you can find that around here
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Tomar777:
Have it 9 months, did all the updates, everything works just fine.

Battery was a little better before Android N but still, i can't complain (1.5-2 days with a full charge).

Games, apps, cam, everything works just fine. Its my everyday tool for everything.

About the RAM question, never had an issue.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Debopam.exe:
I bought it 2 weeks back, and it's an excellent device for the price, maybe the best bang for the buck at the moment in India atleast. The software is very very stable and there are no hiccups whatsoever. The ram management can be a bit agressive at times but I doubt you will notice it if you don't play 3 games simultaneously. The only little gripe I personally have is the lack lusture development community. Just know, if you buy it there is no guarantee for Oreo, if you don't care about that, it's almost perfect.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] i2000s:
I have been using it for about a year now. Really didn't feel the difference to Day 1. The battery life is better on EMUI 5.1 than the original EMUI 4. Performance is stable and consistent so far.

L04, US model.
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] CaLthulhas:
This device after almost year of use is still in perfect condition. Personally I rolled back to Marshmallow, as I can use kingroot to temporary enhance or remove system apps, etc. The ? well if used not for gaming or any other constant video watching it can last all day. I wouldn't get to exited if you are heavy gamer, because next generation games might run on lower settings then other flagship phones.

have you tested that rom?
[Nexus 4 General] dancle:
i tested the latest "stable"-release for a while and it drives me crazy.

1.) language settings won't work

2.) i have no clue how i use this os, go back in programs etc..., the ui isn't userfriedly and logical

3.) the worst is, you can't shut down the device, when you choose "shutdown" the device reboots.

for me its a big mess and won't fun at all. many bugs and no logical interface. At the moment i would say no to it.
[Nexus 4 General] jacomail95:
It's completely another OS (a 2010 one I believe, it's normal to see big differences from today's OSes), it's not Android at all, so watch some YouTube videos to have a general idea of how to use it. Anyway, I tested it two years ago when I had the Nexus 4 and it was 90% fine, almost all working and lagless. Don't know about it now, I just put a thread with informations here on XDA.

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] mwake4goten:
Does anybody know why Tapatalk is high with regard to wakelocks. I have disabled all notifications on both app level and os level but still Gsam battery app reports it is a major wakelocks culprit.

I am using marshmallow 6.0 and using unrooted stock phone.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] timbohobbs:
I greenify it, which helps. I also deny it location but don't know if it makes any difference. I also think that those gsam stats might include the number of times you've opened Tapatalk yourself as by doing so you've 'woken' the device. I actually don't think the 'wakelocks' are as much of a concern as Google and your network signal to the battery.

I am using Singapore Telecom network, now phone is only working in GSM and will not able to make call or send may message if I set the phone Band as Auto. This means it will not working with 3G Network.

I have try the Sim card on other phone, 3G is ok.

Can I know what is wrong with the phone.

Thanks a lot!

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nnklem:
As the title states, my phone will not connect to both devices simultaneously. If I connect one, the other one will disconnect immediately. I don't remember having this issue with previous phones. Any ideas on what is the issue and how to fix it?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
Sorry, not sure what to say here. My S3 connects perfectly, and stays connected when another Bluetooth device connects to the phone. Do you mean, it's actually no longer connected or paired? My phone shows 'connected' to only my car for example but not the S3. However, it IS still connected to the watch. I still get notifications and such. You may try unpairing it, otherwise resetting the watch. Sorry I'm not much help here.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] nnklem:
Maybe you're right and I'm just overreacting. I was going off of what the phone said. It says connected to one device, but does not say connected under the other. Maybe the watch is still connected and I just need to chill out. I'll keep an eye on it. Thanks for grounding me.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Pappy35:
My 6P on Oreo has no trouble staying connected to my car ('17 Durango) and my Gear S3 at the same time. Works flawlessly. Now, if my P2XL would actually ship I'd be able to confirm whether that hardware combo works as well...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] gettinwicked:
I thought the same thing the first time I connected my phone to my car. I even rebooted my phone. When I did, my watch buzzed that it had been disconnected, which I forgot it does when the connection is lost. It wasn't doing that when connecting to my car. I also confirmed when I received a text and my wrist buzzed. Should be all good!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Boomer6345:
Often times the camera on my AT&T is very slow for like 20 to 30 seconds after I open it. It cannot even refresh the screen and show me what the camera is seeing...it is very jerky and refreshes once every few seconds at best.

Then after 20-30 seconds it seems to work fine with no lag.

It makes it almost impossible to capture a quick shot....I miss whatever I wanted to shoot until the camera calms down and starts behaving.

It does not happen every time...maybe 25% to 50%....have not found a pattern to it yet.

Anyone else seeing this?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Japultra:
I haven't seen this particular issue, but there are times when the focus takes way too long and it ends up taking me 1-2 extra seconds to take the shot, which by the time it captures the image, the moment is too late.

It sounds like you have HDR enabled, try to experiment with this setting
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Japultra:
If it is this, that's disappointing. My S7 edge didn't have any issues with HDR.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Not seeing anything like the OP issue on start up. The FV-5 camera is my slowest to start up and takes a second or two. Next slowest would be the LG app in auto and the GCAM port with the LG being just slightly slower. Launching the LG app with the shortcut into manual mode is fastest to launch.

As for the delay while shooting, I see it if I have noise reduction, RAW or HDR enabled. The GCAM is even slower, way slower, at HDR though. I expected the HDR slowdown. The NR and RAW slowdowns were a little bit of a surprise.

By it's very nature, HDR is slow and finicky. It needs more than one frame to compare and blend, ideally at least three. As the shutter speed slows down, your total "black out" (a term I'm borrowing from DSLR shooting) will increase. Then you have the processing time. Google splits the processing out into two parts and it takes a while in total. The LG camera app seems to be doing it all in one go. So I'm not really all that bothered by the time it is taking.

The use of the term black out does remind me of a possible reason why activating Noise Reduction might increase time. There's a couple ways of going about it and one of the two ways used in DSLRs is to take a second black frame. The shutter closes after the actual exposure then a second exposure is taken with the shutter closed. A map, of sorts, is made of spots where there's signal noise and amp glow coming off of the sensor and the processing is applied accordingly. This increases black out time to at least 1.5x, if not 2x, depending on the application within a DSLR. Then there's always a little delay to process and write to memory. I'm not saying that this is 100% what is going on but it is a possibility. Looking at a shot I did last night, it's definitely worth it if it is.

Lastly, I found out early on that when this camera shoots RAW, it fires off two different frames (an unprocessed frame and a processed frame) instead of shooting just one and storing both a processed and unprocessed version of the same frame. Again, the slower the shutter speed, the longer this is going to take. Add in time to process the jpeg and to write the unprocessed RAW file to memory. I haven't tried shooting RAW on the GCAM port to see how it handle it. I know FV-5 is slow when shooting RAW too but never really looked closely to see how it's handling the shooting.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] galr:
HOW?

I can't find a way to create a shortcut to manual mode.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Long press on the camera app icon.

You will get a list of options with "handles" off to one side of their respective bubbles.

Find the one you want and drag it onto your home screen.

[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
Which one is your favorite and best app when you go for a run?

I don't use Huawei's own app any more because you can't export data.

I used endomondo when I hade a moto 360, but the app is not optimised for huawei watch 2 and android wear 2.0.

Now I use Ghostracer and Strava.
[Huawei Watch 2] PeterBormioli:
Ghostracer here too, for both running and cycling.

Coming from a Garmin Forerunner watch, it was somewhat difficult first but now as I'm used to the app and synchronizing the data I wouldn't use anything else.
[Huawei Watch 2] Devolution1x:
I use the Huawei app because it's interface is cleaner than Google fits. However, with the Huawei watch app on my phone, it syncs to Google fit just fine, so my data is all in one place. Endomondo was the best but as previously said, it's not optimized for aw 2.0. i only use Google fit directly for weight training.
[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
I have also noticed that for some training apps (Strava, Ghostracer and Huawei app) it is possible to start and stop the activity with the bottom button. Thats nice! It could be that you need to have that app as a shortcut on that button for it to work.
[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
I also have a Garmin forerunner. I went for a cross country skiing race for 10 hour and I don't think Huawei Watch 2 would last that long.

I have not tested how long the battery last for training (runnning). I have tested to run for an hour with music, GPS and 4G. About 30 % left then. But with the 4G and music disabled, it should last much longer I hope. For several hours I hope.
[Huawei Watch 2] Devolution1x:
I highly doubt the hw2 can go longer than 3-4 hours with everything running.
[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
Some time a have to test a long run or walk with just gps and heart rate (dont know if external strap or the internal drains less battery) active and se how long it lasts. No music and 4G.
[Huawei Watch 2] Devolution1x:
With no music and 4g, I believe it can last maybe 8 to 10 hours. I've used only HR and GPS for an hour and the drain was only less than 10 percent. Granted I also use battery setting such as always on but no tilt.
[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
Running for 1h today with no 4G, but google play music offline and connected bluetooth headphones. Battery went from 90% to 58%. So about 30 % down in this case.
[Huawei Watch 2] powerballad:
Does ghostracer display heart rate for you on the HW2? For me it just says zero all the time. It works with other apps.

Edit: Never mind, just found out you have to enable the sensors in the watch app settings.
[Huawei Watch 2] spenstberg:
If you in Ghost racer swype to the right, you have "sensors" and there you can turn on and off "Heart Rate" and other sensors. If you have an external Heart rate sensor strap you will se it here also.
