[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Delos Dinh:
Hi

There seems to be a lot of noise and graininess in low light shots with my Pixel 2. I understand low light is difficult but I just want to make sure whether the shots in the link is normal or is there something wrong with my camera.

It's just automatic mode so not HDR+ enhanced. There are some that I've turned the compensation down as well by focusing and sliding down the brightness gauge. Is there any other way to mitigate the noise and blown out pics like these like a separate option to lower the shutter speed or is there something wrong with my camera?

There's also other 2 other pics indoor with low light. One is with enhanced HDR and the other just normal. The noise is crazy here. I'm pretty sure my iPhone 6 did better here. Also, my camera seems to flicker (like when you video old TV's theres lines that travel either up and down or left and right) in certain lighting conditions, mainly the gym and the room in the picture. The room is lit by LED light and my tv is also LED. Is this normal?

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] delta7019:
Just for clarification, you've tried pictures without HDR+, with HDR+, and with HDR+ enhanced (must be enabled in the camera settings somewhere)? If not, "HDR+ enhanced" mode might be what you're looking for since it (from my understanding) is the common HDR mode that takes a little longer in order to shoot multiple photos and combine them. There's a thread called "HDR+ on vs HDR+ Enhanced?" that could be helpful, as well as an interview with someone at Google about the camera decisions and different modes. I don't have enough posts to include links, but they're easy to find. If you already knew about the additional "HDR+ enhanced" mode though then I'm afraid I can't help you. Every picture looks incredible to me coming from the HTC One M7, so I haven't played with it much.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeyinid:
I looked at your photos, I don't think we're seeing the same things. The pics look great aside from a few being out of focus. I just had an iphone 6 for a short time and I'm 100% sure it can't come close to those photos in low light.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Delos Dinh:
Thanks, the first set of pictures was just standard HDR. Do you also think the second album us good looking? There's a lot of noise there looking from both my phone and laptop.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Charkatak:
Take some pictures in another place with the same lighting levels and a few in a slightly lit environment. I haven't checked my phone's photos on a PC, but on the phone they looked pretty good. Do you see noise when you view your photos on the phone itself?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] delta7019:
There's some noise on the second set of pics around the TV area, but I can't tell how dark the room is. They remind me of times that my HTC One lens was dirty--especially since the odd marks are about the same shape and in just about the same place even with different shooting modes. When mine got dirty, I couldn't tell just by looking at it, and I had to wipe it with a damp cloth (dry cloth didn't work). It could also be something with the way the TV screen is processed; certain types of screen cause different effects on different phones. Just FYI, apparently the default camera mode can't be changed (HDR+), so it has to be toggled off every time the camera is opened if you don't want it.

In the Google interview, the guy mentions that they made a trade off between noise and brightness so that Pixel 2 users can see more of the image subject. Made it seem like Google decided what's the point if you can't see anything and figured it's easier to later darken an image rather than brighten it without damaging the quality.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Delos Dinh:
Thanks Il try it.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Delos Dinh:
Thanks, on both my phone and laptop, I see a lot noise :S
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Delos Dinh:
Thanks. Hmmm.. even for the second lot of pics? There's just a lot of noise and graininess I can see from looking at form my phone and laptop. :S It's always good for a second opinion thank you.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] mikeyinid:
I took close to 100 photos this weekend when I took my family to see Christmas lights in a nearby town. It was night time and I have to say, I was very surprised how well the photos came out. I do see some noise/graininess in some, mostly ones of people. But they are still very good considering the darkness. Even portrait mode worked very well in low light.
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] quark-lepton:
Yes, I would say that it's normal (I only looked at the image with the buildings). HDR+ enhanced could be worth a try.

It's possible that other phone cameras would have less noise in this light condition, but then they would blow out the highlights. In my opinion Google does the right thing: Slightly more noise for less blown out highlights. Though in low light the images are often too bright. So the best thing you can do is using the exposure compensation. This can also make the shutter speed faster. Be aware that less noise will be visible when you underexpose, but when you adjust the brightness with software afterwards, then the noise will be even worse.

hi all, i have problem with some apps like ACR (to register incoming and outgoing call) keepassdroid (database password), it remaining open in background absolutely without drain battery, system android notify me in status bar that theese apps are in background execution. how can i remove that notification?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] nomad4ever:
I have the same problem. I found this app in another thread, but it only works for some notifications and not always.

Would be interested in new ideas as well.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] AliHormati:
Have you tried to put auto launching apps in the battery setting to manual. It solved one of my problems so it may help yours too.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] betus81:
Yes I tried now but the notification remains yet
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Planet X:
Did you try that?

When Android System notification is triggered Long press on "Android System" notification in the notification panel -> hit "More Settings" -> Disable "Allow notifications" and set "Lock screen notifications" to "Never".

It's from [MENTION=4750949]jemeljsh[/MENTION] look that thread: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=74667287&postcount=3

For me that solution works better than installing a different app.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] betus81:
yess, what you wrote is right, now there's not notification in status bar , however it stays when i drop down menu.

any solutions?
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] Planet X:
Did you also set Disable "Allow notifications"? Anyway maybe a reboot might help. I don't see that notifications anymore.
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] betus81:
OK I solved only for ACR, but keepass2 continue to notificate me, but ok like that tanks
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] GodXen:
Somewhy ACR isnt working for me verry well, sometimes ACR causes me to hear nothing from other side, switching to loudspeaker and back fixes that, also verry bad quallity of recorded audio. Using another app works without problem.

Also autosync with google drive and acr doesnt works anymore, but was working on mate 9 pro without a problem :/

Actually verry dissapointed by huawei this time, no idea if its huawei sided problems or not, but still, my mate 9 pro feels way smoother than mate 10 pro..
[Huawei Mate 10  Questions & Answers] betus81:
ok thanks for your think, i want to ask you a question out of this thread, i enabled geolocation over all of my device since my first devices android (2011-12), in this last mate 10 pro it doesn not work accurately, praticaly

it does not correctly detect where i am and the exact time of the move, with all of my devices and also the last oneplus 3 they was very accurately ever.

it may be that mate10 does not has glonass or galileo? it work only with gps i seem..

According to GSMarena battery life is average at best, they were quite disappointed with the results. So I’m not completely sure who to trust here.

I was worried too but every other reviewer says the battery its amazing. I bought the phone last week and I can tell you that GSMArena's results are completely wrong. I get a lot more battery life from this phone than the One Plus 3T.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] orb3000:
Coming from a Xiaomi Mi Max I am a Bit dissapointed with this battery life, i forgot that most high end devices need to be charged everyday...

Its a pity that a mid range device has much better battery for less than half price...
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Geliao:
It all depends on the user. Not by others imo. We all have our own way on how we use our phone.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Geliao:
Maybe because mi max is meant to last longer in terms of battery life. In addition, most mid range devices doesn't really have that much of a hardware feature unlike most high end flagship phones.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mlodykaras:
So you are comparing U11+ with xiaomi which has only snapdragon 650 on board (midrange), uses only full HD screen and has 4850mAh battery which is almost 1000 more than u11+? Did you expect 5 days with no charging? lol
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] msc125:
I'm really happy with the battery. I expected the larger battery to cope with the display, and be average, but it's exceeded my expectations.

I'm a medium/ heavy user depending on the day.

Today is my record so far, had the phone for about 3 weeks, see pic :)

I have started putting power saver on overnight, clear all apps, and WiFi and data off. I'm using two sims aswell, not sure if that makes a difference
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Kidy973:
Here is mine.

Far better than my old Nexus 5 but I can't compare with other flagships. It last all day, from 7am to 22pm with ease. I needed to recharge my N5 2 to 3 times a day with similar usage.

Today

4H SOT over 12h50 and 39% left.

During this time, I played 1h of Airport City game and run for 50 min (so GPS for 50 min).

battery life

Yes I am and still be able to use it the "normal" way

Then again, I let the battery go down to 1% and then start charging it again, which significantly increases the battery life and therefor get, at least, 5 days out of the battery

As far as I know, newer batteries don't behave like that, and partial charges are better with new battery technology.

I come from a 5t and i have the oposite opinión. The 5t battery was noticiable better. 6-7 sot against 5 on this u11 plus

Seing the increíble distance between some people Who do 10 sot and many others like myself that barely so 4-5 i Wonder if this could be some software glitch depending on the model.

Mine its like i said above the 6gb 128gb translucent versión

[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nghtmare:
I am not sure what it could be, I am also using the 6GB 128GB Translucent version from Hong Kong. The phone is currently on software 1.24.400.2, even though I have had great battery since day one. I recommend a factory reset just in case or check on the battery section, details what is draining it quicker. I can even play games for the majority of the charge and still get around 7hrs every time. Also check for gesture features, google maps, apps in sync, and many things that could drain your battery.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] andreipaval:
Hi, can you post a battery history screenshot with 7hrs SOT ?

I am just configuring mine (European Dual SIM, 6GB, 128 GB), and with just a few apps, no games, it loses 20% overnight.

It seems awful, I am almost considering returning it, and I had such high hopes.

I already factory reset it again and try to test it further.

What is you screen off drain overnight, on Wifi ?

I only have one SIM, the always on display only on motion launch, location normal, a HW2 android wear watch.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Something is draining your phone like crazy if it loses 20% overnight. That is not normal behaviour at all

Smart Display set to motion battery test results

4g/No Wi-Fi

50% auto brigthness

high accuracy location

Happy with this considering I didn't even get to drain till 10%

It shouldn't drain that much overnight tbh
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] andreipaval:
Wow, I almost can't believe your screens, you must have really good 4G signal.

And you really used the phone, seeing these app times, and with high accuracy location.

The big red portion of the mobile network signal must be the night time because no screen on, you can see the doze lines

and the battery line is pretty horizontal, so it didn't lose much.

Ho do you open the History details screen for the battery, I cannot seem to find it anywhere in settings.

How do you do it man ? Could it be the Wifi, my Wifi that causes this... but it does not appear in the stats.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nghtmare:
I can show you my current one, I can get 7 hrs SOT with ease even having the phone unplugged for over 2 days. I drain only 1% at night with wifi on. I dont use always on display but I doubt that feature alone will make it drain 20%. Normally I have Wifi on half of the day, and half 4G. GPS always off, and screen brightness around 30% fixed throughout the day. I use Youtube and Dokkan Battle most of the time along phone calls.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kingtiamath:
This is so weird, i have done nothing, and today i am like 430 of screen on time and still 57% battery left.

[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
If you check my previous posts a few weeks ago I was slating the battery life of this phone. I did a factory reset, installed my usual apps and just decided to ride the storm. After about 5-6 days, the phone just started to drain less, almost as if it was able to calculate how much power was needed for the tasks I do everyday, I can't really explain it but with every phone it has taken almost a week for usage to settle and then battery becomes good.

Yeah the almost flat lines is night time or when I am doing work so don't use the phone. If your are talking about this screen that shows the lines, I found it by mistake. With Nova Launcher you can set gestures to launch apps. I previously set double tap on launcher to go to battery stats because on the S7 Edge, you have to go through 3-4 menus and device management animation to get to the battery so I set a shortcut. Didn't use it for months on my U11 then I got the U11+ and double tapped the launcher by mistake and saw the stock battery screen. Seems to be hidden from every Oreo device I have tried (U11, U11+, Mate 10 Pro). So, set a gesture or shortcut in Nova to open up "Battery Usage" and you should get the same screen.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] andreipaval:
So I found the "Battery usage" activity but I cannot open it or create a short cup, tried with Nova Prime and Quick shortcut maker, it says "Not enough permissions"

How did you manage it ? Maybe some adb commands ?

Thanks for all the help and info. Cheers.
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Well like I said I set it up on Nova Launcher using my S7 Edge and I have kept the same Nova backup since so that setting always carries over.

I did try to make a new shortcut within Nova and also get Permission Denied. Best bet I guess would be to install GSAM and give it ADB permissions (there is a guide on the app).
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kmitchpg:
My battery life was getting much better but now it seems to be draining quicker than before. It's sitting at 27% despite only showing 1hr 30 mins of screen usage. Google Play services has used 21%. Is that excessive?
[HTC U11+ Guides, News, & Discussion] WL_PL:
I have the same problem with Google Play Services. Started sometime after latest update. Tried system wipe but that did not help. I have 4 google account synced (one main and three with only gmail sync).

I'm pretty worried that battery life won't get better to the state when the phone was out of the box.
