[LG V30 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
Reds blow out first. You have to underexpose to prevent that then brighten shadows and the rest up in a photo editing program. Take it with EV -2 say or less as required. Do that and you will be able to do better than the pixel camera

YMMV, a sunset might be too much to get due to difference in the sky and the ground. So help the camera. Take it when its darker but still red that way the difference between brightest and darkest will be less

It always comes down to one thing, silcon based computing can't keep up with carbon based ie. YOU

Thanks everyone for the thoughts and i will try the google photo app.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] slight22:
Update - So I tried the Google Pixel photo app (had to download the APK) with HDR on still doesn't seem to do the job with reds. The elevator button is a solid red, and again looks pink.

[IMG="Elevator button"]https://scontent.fyyc4-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/24775162_10155916800542463_2295489495971512000_n.jpg?oh=7f156efa9275f13cea76f5d651bf1b96&oe=5A8A6BE0[/IMG]
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Again, you need to dial back the exposure. Just switching apps isn't going to do the trick.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] One Twelve:
Yep, try using EV -2 as a quick workaround. If that isn't enough you might have to speed up the shutter to go further.

The idea is to expose it right. Red should appear as red in the photo. Never mind if the photo appears underexposed. It can be brightened later.

You are taking a photo of a light source. The elevator button and everything else is darker in relation. This in itself could be tricking the camera into thinking the scene is too dark and it brightens it up and blows out the red.

Cameras still don't know what they are taking photos of. They need guidance

Hi, can anyone change the Bluetooth Audio settings and they actually change ?

i.e. if I select aptX as the Audio Codec it still shows as SBC on the Menu. This is the case for all of the Bluetooth Audio selections - Sample Rate/Bits Per Sample etc - nothing actually changes.

What am I doing wrong ? Mate 10 (Not Pro)

Cheers

Got same issue only SBC in streaming Bluetooth... Please somebody can answer!! It's pretty boring...
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] DANIELWHITT:
It's an automatic process, if you bought audio equipment with the different codecs, it automatically chooses the correct one. Connect a device with the apt X and you will see it automatically change.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Luinwethion:
EMUI doesn't support AAC, if your headphones doesn't support LDAC or Aptx you are stuck with SBC.

SBC is kind of problematic as of right now.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doubledragon5:
Is there any firmware lately, that will not allow you to root? Reason, I'm selling my S7 Edge and going back to older phones as they are cheaper, and root friendly.. Had a S5 Sport a few yrs back, but development was not that great.. So I'm purchasing a regular S5 Mint condition for $115 and also going to sell my old S3 with 2 new batteries.. Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fear_The_Fluff:
For the S5s? Not that I have seen. If anything its more easier now to root an S5 than before. The S7s are way hard to root(snapdragons mostly) than the S5s.

Yup I rooted not long after this post.. Been running MOAR 7.1 and not having any issues.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
I briefly took over another thread where this issue didn't belong, but since I am still having issues, I thought I would start my own thread. Okay, so I am on Sprint, sideloaded several of the updates, including most recently the Oreo Beta. I have been very happy with the beta, and was looking forward to the update due this week. However, yesterday evening I dropped the phone on the sidewalk and it cracked very badly, and as I am paying insurance with Sprint I want to bring it to a store and have it fixed. Not only is the screen badly cracked, but the keyboard is acting up a bit also.

Anyway, I was getting advice on the Oreo thread about how to do this, and as I said, I had hijacked the thread, but I was at work and didn't get to try this until tonight when I got home. Anyway, I had originally plan to just find the Ota and sideload it, but it was recommend that I use flashall and the full image file from the Essential site. I tried to do that, but when I restart the phone to get into Bootloader mode, it disappeared from the list of devices visible on my desktop and via adb. It was a bit disturbing to me as I am not used to working in Bootloader, previously did anything like this via recovery, and I wasn't sure how to exit the bootloader, but I chose power off, and saw a weird screen with what looked like a coffee cup, and eventually the phone rebooted and seems unchanged at the moment.

I still want to revert to the sprint nougat before I bring the phone in, but I admit I am a little nervous now about the best way to do this. I could use some suggestions. I hope this post is not too long-winded, but I wanted to explain as much of what has happened as possible.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
Just an FYI, I found that putting Oreo on the phone resulted in ADB not working 100% anymore, such as attempting to reboot into recovery/etc. It would just reboot back into the O.S..

Here is what I did to flash the stock firmware.

- download the current release you want to flash. (e.g. NMJ32F), then unzip it into a new folder.

- on your phone, verify that USB debugging and OEM unlocking are turned on in the developers menu.

- reboot your phone into the fastboot mode (power and volume down buttons)

- from your adb command line: type: fastboot flashing unlock

- This will make your phone show a new screen asking if you want to unlock the bootloader. Use the volume down to select YES, and hit the power button. It will now reboot and erase the phone. It will eventually end up booting up too request you setup the phone. (that is what it did for me.)

- reboot the phone back into the fastboot mode (power and volume down buttons)

- you should now see the bootloader listed as unlocked (vs locked)

- from your adb command line: type: fastboot devices (which should show your phones serial number and fastboot next too it.

- on your computer, using the command line, go to the unzipped folder of the NMJ32F build you downloaded

- in the folder there is a batch file you will run called flashall.bat. run it

- your phone will start flashing the NMJ32F build

- when it completes it will reboot a couple of times, erase the phone, and end up at the "lets get started" screen.

- reboot the phone back to the fastboot mode

- from your adb command line: type: fastboot flashing lock

- select the option to lock your bootloader. The phone will reboot/erase I believe, and then end up back to the "lets get started" screen.

- after you setup your phone, you can go back into the developers menu to turn off the oem unlocking

The above steps pretty much follow essentials instructions. (the essential instructions don't give some specifics.)

You are all done. (I recommend you review my instructions and the essential instructions carefully, don't copy paste commands as I may have spelled something wrong, etc.. Just wanted to give you a flow of the process.)
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
I was following those directions, but what happens is that though the phone appears as a device in adb before rebooting, once I reboot into fastboot mode, it is no longer listed. I also noticed that when tried to reboot the phone into bootloader mode with an adb command, instead, it did a regular reboot, and when it did that reboot, it again was no longer listed as a device, because it went into charging mode. So I'm not sure how to keep this from happening.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
The reason why the adb command (to go into bootloader mode) didn't work is it is broken when you installed Oreo, that is why you need to do it manually.

When you put your phone into fastboot mode (power button / volume down) plug in your phone into your computer, and from command prompt (make sure you are in the adb folder), type fastboot devices (don't type adb devices) and see if anything replies back.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Thanks, I understand now. I can't start this tonight, but I will try the again next time I have time at the desktop.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] emowing:
You are probably missing the phone's driver. Download this, Essential device driver for Windows machines. Supports 32/64 bit on Windows 7, 8 and 10., from the essential developer site and install it.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] iceman#1:
damn it, I read somewhere that there are problems while using adb on the current official beta. There was a command for getting connection again. But I can't find it right now.

Just to be clear. when the phone is on, you enabled USB debugging and plugged in the USB cable and checked the tickbox before you granted debugging access, right? If you don't check the box, there is no access granted after a phone reboot.

take care, I had problems getting through the initial phone setup after I did a factory reset. The Oreo beta still has some hickups. I got it to work after a few reboots. Without finishing the intial phone setup you can't enable USB debugging, you know.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] kbonnel:
Good point on the driver, I wasn't even thinking about that.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Well, my phone was being read when I previously sideloaded updates, so I think I have the right drivers, but I will double check. Can anyone suggest why the phone keeps defaulting to charging mode rather than file transfer every time I reboot it?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] iceman#1:
that's a typical android habit. charging mode is default.

did you checked the tickbox when debugging window is appearing?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Yes.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Yes, I did, thanks.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
F

Yes, I did, thanks. Trying to reply and it doesn't appear. Edit: Sorry for the multiple posts,they all appeared at once.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Okay, I am back to this now, I had time today. I installed the windows drivers from the Essential site (I am running Windows 10 64 bit) and the device was recognized in fastboot devices. The phone wiped my data and restarted with a setup screen. So far, so good. So I shut down the phone again, turned it on again in fastboot mode, it was unlocked. I went into a CMD screen and typed fastboot devices, and the phone was still listed there. So I opened windows explorer and got to the folder where I had unpacked the image files and also copied the flashboot file. I right-clicked the flashall.bat file, chose run as administrator. When I did this, I got a bunch of error messages that went by so fast, they were practically impossible to read, though they seem to say something about files not found. I didn't see any log file in the folder, so I guess they are not created. I went back to the Essential site and downloaded the zip file with the correct image files again and tried a second time, with the same results. Anyway I have wiped my phone, but still have not reinstalled the Sprint nougat software I need on this phone. Any other suggestions?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Okay, I tried again, and I was able to read the error message. They all said cannot load "filename" no such file or directory. It sounds like some kind of path error, right? I expanded the file from the Essential download for build Build NMI81C into their own directory, a subdirectory of a library where I have been keeping various android files, and I copied the flashboot file into the same directory from the platform-tools download, but only that file. That seems to be what instructions specify.

Also, I notice on this thread https://xdaforums.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681/page3 it mentions also using the command "fastboot flashing unlock_critical" but I do not see that elsewhere.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
I was able to get flashall to run using the command prompt instead of Windows Explorer. It seemed to run okay, except a couple of items cause me some concern.

I got a message "FAILED (remote: Flashing is not allowed for Critical Partitions)" for the abl.img file.

And the other command "Did you mean to fashboot format this ext4 partition".

Are either of these a problem?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Try running the commands one at a time. Open the flash-all.sh in a text editor and copy the commands.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
As I said in my last message, I was able to get Flashall to work when I ran it in the CMD prompt rather than in windows explorer (which is how it was done in the video posted on Youtube, but didn't work for me). My only concern at this point is whether I should be concerned about the two commands posted in the email.

Interestingly enough, my phone did an update to the build NMJ32F as soon as I started it up.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Did u not do the flashing unlock_critical?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
No I didn't. It was not mentioned by anyone but me in this thread until you did.

So far I have received no error messages since I did the reversion to stock. As I said,

I did get an update almost immediately.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
If you read the stock dumps thread, it says to unlock_critical on the first page. https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3701681
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Well, it seems to be working okay as is.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
Ok, well if if u start having problems, at least u know what the issue is.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] maltydog:
Is there a specific error that is likely to appear because of this that I should be looking for?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Airwolf79:
I don't know, but if you decide to update to the latest NMJ51B build, I would unlock critical. Obviously you'd wanna backup all ur files though, because it will wipe the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Joxrox:
Hey guys,

I bought the G950FD on eBay so that I could root and tweak it the way I always have with my previous phones. I use total wireless which is on Verizon towers and have gotten the phone to connect just like it should, text, receive/make calls, and use data. To do this, I used the Flashable CSC Collection here to switch the CSC to VZW and it worked for a while, but after restarting I started to get some problems that I can't sort out.

1. Calls do not work anymore - I can't make or receive them at all. Dialing a number just says "Dialing" with some zeros below it, and calling my number goes right to voicemail.​

2. Data cuts out sometimes and shows no signal. Recently, I tried to search for carriers and reconnect to Verizon but now I can't get a connection at all without restoring a backup.​

3. Other observations: Using a signal info app, it seems like I only see band 1 and it is usually very slow. CDMA obviously doesn't work, so maybe that's why I can't register on the network anymore, but why did it work when I first booted up? I can't change the APN settings after switching to VZW CSC and also can't see an option for VoLTE, but that must be working right? Only some ROMs seem to work with the VZW CSC and allow me to connect to the cell towers. Changing the network mode does not do anything and just reverts back to 2G, which doesn't make sense because 2G shouldn't be possible. None of the codes that can be entered into the dialer to run the activities have worked or helped at all. When connected to WiFi, the no signal bar shows 4G connectivity and the signal bars reappear but I am still not connected.​

So, what can I try and does anyone have knowledge to share about cell towers, SIMs, registering on the network, or anything else relevant to my situation? I am completely stumped and would love any input that you guys could give me and future 950FD owners who might have this issue.

I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys know,

Joe

Only verizon phones work on verizon, you can't use a non-verizon phone on its network even if its supports its frequencies. Lte on your s8 is compatible with verizon's but after it worked for a bit they disabled your imei from their network, nothing you can do about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Joxrox:
Thanks for the reply! I do not think they have blocked my IMEI because I just restored a backup and everything works again. I believe it has something to do with the settings on my phone or possibly a bug with Android/changing the CSC because changing the network settings cause crashes, disconnects, and other weird behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] partcyborg:
Lol don't give misinformation, they don't do this, in fact I'm pretty sure forcing all users to have phones obtained through Verizon would be completely illegal for a Telco to do. VZW doesn't even know what type of phone you have unless you register it and even if you do they don't care.

Hello,

I just acquired a new 'Huawei Ascend XT' phone which is sim locked to AT&T. I am currently in the process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting the phone.

I was wondering is there any tool available to Carrier / imei unlock this phone after I have rooted it (or may be even befor rooting it)?

Thanks.

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] divineBliss:
Without being carrier unlocked, the phone can only be used on AT&T Prepaid, AT&T, or AT&T based MVNOs. These days AT&T won't give you an unlock code unless you use the phone on AT&T Prepaid for 6 months. You can check eBay to see if any unlockers will sell you an unlock code for a few bucks. Only buy from sellers who have a money back guarantee if their unlock code fails.

Bought 2nd-Hand

I would like to ask if there is any way to carrier unlock. I bought this phone for 20$ on offer up. But when I contacted at&t to request unlock they said it has to be used for 6 months. For me that does not work, as I am already with tMobile and bought the XT for a second phone because of the large device support. I actually love the phone, but as is it is just sitting around. If anyone has or has heard of a way to accomplish an unlock please p.m. Me.or answer in forum. Thanks in advance.

Ps. phone is already bootloader unlocked and rooted with magisk 14.0. And latest TwRP.
