[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Anon2016:
Nova has been either crashing with the pop up notification that it stopped or just showing the wallpaper with no apps or widgets since the Oreo update. When it just shows the wallpaper I can press where the app icons should show and they open. The developer suggested uninstalling Nova, clearing all app cache and reinstalling Nova. I did that and cleared the cache partition, but it's still crashing. Anyone else using Nova with Oreo seeing this?

I think Avast was the culprit. I noticed that it was running in the background when I was seeing the issue. I uninstalled it and haven't had a problem since so keeping my fingers crossed that it's solved.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jusmoiau:
Hi

Have been having battery issues with my phone and read where wiping cache partition may help. I started the process about 2.5 hours ago and it is still 'wiping cache'. Is there any way that I can stop the process without damage?

Really need to use the phone atm . Have googled as much as I can in the last hour and cannot find an answer. Saw where one guy took out his battery to stop and now phone won't work. Really appreciative of any advice.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
It should be fine just to take the battery out (although don't quote me on this one). Wiping the cache should be very quick as its a much smaller partition compared to lets say the data partition.

Could be recovery frozen, corrupt partition, either way it is a very unlikely occurrence. In TWRP, try formatting cache partition manually (advanced wipe options). If that doesn't help, go to TWRP settings, tick the box that uses "rm /rf instead of format", then wipe again.

Sorry if defeats the purpose of portrait mode.

Can you take some more portrait mode picture samples? This are not very good compositions.

The Coke can does not have enough depth in the background and the wall is just plain. Try something else and line it up straight instead of top-down.

Some people cannot be pleased, no matter what.

These photos are great and just fine, but if you're the sort of person hell bent of crapping on the PH-1 no matter what, then nothing from this phone's camera is going to placate you.

It's really getting boring at this time, all the hee-haw about the camera..

What does the slider on the bottom of Portrait Mode control? The bokeh/blurring effect?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:

Thanks:good:
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] nrage23:
It is an app update through the play store.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Lakino:
I see. Thanks. :good: I thought this was some port being developed by some developer here. I got it downloaded now.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 12paq:
Nice to see improvements to the camera. After a 2nd and a 3rd look, it's really not too bad, imho. Glad to see regular development via the Play Store.

Manual controls of the lens aperture value and shutter speed would be nice.

Then we could do "portrait mode" the correct way with light not software via adjusting the aperture wide to create a shallow depth of field and a nice blurry background and/or foreground. It worked nice on my MXP with a ported modified app.

Having semiautomatic aperture value and and shutter speed modes would be also nice. But I'm dreaming. :)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] jakkzen:
I think the portrait mode is much better than what the Note 8 has. The Note is very harsh, the blur isn't accurate either. This may not be as good as the some of those other cameras in image quality, but it's pretty good and this update with the portrait mode is a good update. I notice that my portrait pictures are a small size than the auto mode, in terms of data size.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:
HDR suffers from what i call gradient streaking. where you can tell see streaks along the color changes in the sky. im hoping this is just an HDR effect but overall a great improvement
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:
there isnt a numerical manual mode but if you adjust the touch area and using the lighting control on the side... its just like manual mode
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 12paq:
That's really only an exposure slider. It likely tweaks ISO, the shutter speed and aperture value for the best high or low light setting in the moment. Which I would call mostly "automatic". Maybe semiautomatic, so I get what you're saying.

Having the option to independently control the shutter speed and aperture value would be the s***! Always better to control the light coming through your lens to your sensor (or film, like in the old days).

Kind of cool how the basics of aperture value and shutter speed are still primarily what drives light to the sensor like it has for 120+ years. Smart phones use the same principles now, it's just fully automatic, and really really tiny!

If we could manually adjust the shutter speed and aperture value we would have a lot more control over how the light reaches the sensor. So much better to use real light than software. It's like comparing optical zoom to digital zoom. It just can't keep up. ...yet. ;)

I'm biased, because it's what I do for a living. Even so, I know so many awesome photographers in the Android community and other areas where *thinkers are hobbyists, they would love it too. :)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathanlc2005:
I get what your saying. Nothing matches the true ability of manual exposure like the Nikon's. Actually a funny story... I took a class in digital photography but because the syllabus didn't state phones I took my htc Evo and did the class like that. I actually learned how to adjust iso and lighting using your phone. I'll find a few of my best and upload it for you
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 12paq:
Perfect!

I teach photography part time at a University and I've gotten to the point where people can just bring in their smartphones and we work from there. :laugh: :)

Crappy HDR

Is it just me or is the HDR mode really just blowing everything out? I've taken photos side by side and I've found HDR pictures to just be overly lightened and washed out. In another note, I took some images with the ported Google camera app and couldn't even tell the difference between it and the stock app with no HDR. Am I crazy, or does someone else agree?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] 12paq:
Yup, wishful thinking on my part. The focal length is just too tiny.

I did have a student with a Samsung flip phone with an adjustable aperture. That was surprising. I actually challenged him on the accuracy of his claim in class, and I lost. Oops.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Faifie:
Hello!

I want to make my phone completely stock again. (Or as close as possible if completely stock isn't possible)

I unlocked, installed TWRP, and then rooted my phone yesterday (thanks to shashank1320's guide which made it very simple), but quickly found out that safetynet will prevent me from downloading and playing certain games on the Google Play Store.

After poking around online, it seems that even switching over to Magisk instead of using SuperSU will leave intermittent gaps in time where the app will be inaccessible due to the new workaround eventually being blocked.

So I want to go back. But like a derp, I forgot to create a backup beforehand.

So far I've unrooted through the SuperSU app itself, and flashed the BOOT.img and RECOVERY.img from Dazed No More's links in the Honor 6x Repository here.

After this is where I'm not sure what to do.

I think I need to find a factory system image to flash (and the vendor.img)?

I've seen a few threads saying that putting the UPDATE.APP in a dload folder into the phone and have the phone run the update worked (This did not work for me, although I'm not sure I have the right files; I downloaded it through a tech guide site here). I extracted the system.img and vendor.img from the update.app off that website using the Huawei Update Extractor, but I am afraid of flashing them in case they are the incorrect ones. But what if they are correct? Would I be able to recover if they are not?

Also, should I download and use unSU?

I know there is this guide on the front page right now. I've downloaded the Huawei Firmware Finder, but I... don't know how to use it. I narrow it down to the model number and that is where I get stuck. How... do I use it?

Some other basic questions I have in addition to this are:

Would I just have to flash the system.img and vendor.img through adb and then it will be stock again?

Would there still be leftover SuperSU files in my phone? I want to remove every trace of it. Would flashing be enough?

Am I even on the right track? And if not, where should I go from here?

Is the term "ROM" here firmware? Are the two terms interchangeable?

Ultimately, I would want to flash stock and then lock the bootloader again.

Thank you very much in advance. I appreciate it.

Edit: Wow I forgot to put any information, sorry about that.

Honor 6x

Model Number: BLN-L24

Build Number: BLN-L24C567B360

EMUI version: 5.0

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
If you have unrooted, foashed stock boot and stock recovery rhen you are stock completely. For safer side, you can just dload the current firmware whch will lock your bootloader also and remove those device unlocked and cant be trusted message on boot.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Faifie:
Thank you! Currently it's still tripping safetynet, but that may just be due to the phone still being unlocked.

Would it be fine to just lock the bootloader through adb now?

And are all traces of SuperSU gone like this?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] shashank1320:
Nope. Locking the bootloader will just do it and reset but wont change the boot.img which root modified.

You need to unroot, flash stock recovery and stock boot.img to get rid of it.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] Faifie:
Okay, since those have been flashed with stock, that means I'm set to re-lock the phone! Will get around to it sometime tomorrow c:

Thank you so, so much ^^

About three times a day, I get to the lockscreen and am asked to enter my pattern. I do so and the screen blinks a few times and returns to requesting my pattern.

I must admit that I am in the Beta Program and this started some time after entering. I did try to get out of the Beta and was told I would get an OTA update back to standard within 24 hours but nothing happened for a week so I went back on the Beta program, hoping I would get an update that corrected the issue. (if it is coming from the Beta and not systemic to the Pixel)

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] v12xke:
You can either use a spare modem that supports "bridge mode" (requires ability to configure the router) or use a dedicated wi-fi range extender (easier) such as TP Link. If you go the extender route, make sure to spec one out that matches or exceeds your existing router's capabilities. This way you only have one SSID per band. I choose to use one SSID for 2.4 Ghz and another for 5 Ghz, but extend them throughout the house and outside to the garage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Schroeder09:
I thought the wifi range extenders seemed cheesy when I set my network up. They work well? I have a Linksys repeater router hardwired to my main router. It was a pretty good one 2 yrs ago and I seem to remember it having bridge mode. I'll look and post back.

Use Tasker. You can connect to a different WiFi access point if the signal strength from the other WiFi goes below a certain amount.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Puckettonline:
I'm sure some of y'all used a iPhone before.

When you use the camera app, Snapchat, Instagram, whatsapp, Facebook camera.

The quality is the same.

But if you do the same with SOME Android phone. Especially if it has dual cameras than you get mix results.

With a dual camera like the v30 you can't pick the default camera to open on a app.

(ex: whatsapp uses the wide angle and instagram uses the normal camera)

The camera quality is horrible! "ex: camera quality looks burry on instagram"

Is there a way over this?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Use the app's ability to choose from Gallery. I always do that. EVERY app like Facebook, WhatsApp lets you choose from your Gallery.

The only time I use an app to actually take a picture is for my banking app to deposit checks. (Some apps will even let you choose from ANYWHERE on your phone, like Download folder through a file explorer but Facebook does not -- it only lets you choose Gallery.

Just this morning I went into WhatsApp to verify the exact steps. You choose the "camera" symbol, then from there you can either take a picture or "swipe up for Gallery". It's written right there on the page in WhatsApp interface.

When I choose from the Gallery, I know the picture is exactly the way I want it, cropped right, etc. With the LG V30, you would then have also chosen which of the three cameras you wanted to take the picture with -- either of the two front cameras or the selfie camera.

I've never used an iPhone anything and never will. :p
