Not sure what's to complain about. It's a cell phone camera of course it's gonna be pretty crappy. What about everything else about the phone? I get 8-9 hours sot every day no matter what I do on it. I think that more than makes up for a camera.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] se7ensde:
I Took this with my op5 and it's better than all of your pictures. Go get a professional camera and a flip phone.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] NHS2008:
I think that stupid argument has already been raised by one person. What are you comparing that shot against?

If you had a Honor 8 pro. You would have gotten a better version of it.

So please if you have nothing to contribute, stop barking non sense. I can also take great shots using mods and what not then tweak them on PC and post.

Edit: And if you consider complaining about poor camera performance on a flagship with 'Dual cameras. Clearer photos' tagline; then you should get the Fanboy of the year award!

All i see is SALT these days.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] BFMSAND:
Well you say ".. if you have nothing to contribute, stop barking non sense." , so.. what did you contribute besides saying that your honor is SO much better than an OP and just showing up Pictures where I dont think that an OP5 would shot SUCH bad shots and also These are just random shots where also half of These look very similar to me.

Also,you know, this is the OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion Forum, so yeah this is neither some News nor a Guide and also no Discussion as ist just plain complaining from your side.

So to contribute for the forum and all the People here im going to Report this thread and hope that other People do this too.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] jhs39:
It's definitely not a secret that One Plus has a terrible camera app. My $150 Samsung Galaxy J3 could take better pictures, especially in low light. If the camera app on the OP5 wasn't such utter crap there wouldn't be a very long thread on XDA filled with people using the Google Pixel camera app on this phone. The OP5 is never going to be a good camera phone. One Plus only supports Camera 1 API which is very dated and limited. Google introduced the Camera 2 API on the Nexus 5X which I think was running Marshmallow.

If you want proof the camera will never be fixed just look at the 5T. One Plus did not tout that as a great camera phone like they did with the OP5. One Plus also ditched the telephoto lense in favor of a low light lense because they don't know how to fix the software issue with the OP5 camera. Like you said on paper the OP5 has great camera hardware. But One Plus doesn't have the talented software engineers that could actually take advantage of it.

I can't see myself buying another One Plus phone because I think they are a terrible company. Whatever phone One Plus releases is based on a model from Oppo. The difference? The One Plus version will have better on paper hardware specs and the Oppo version will have far better build quality. The Oppo version will also take much better pictures.

The build quality of the OP5 is lousy. My first one was unusable after about 3 months because of a defective motherboard and even though the phone was under warranty One Plus customer service and warranty repair is so horrible the only way I could get a working phone was to file an insurance claim and pay $150 deductible.

I was sent a brand new replacement phone and right out of the box the headphone jack was bad. I had to switch to Bluetooth because wired headphones don't work--the headphone plugs fall right out of the jack.

Then there's OOS. It's the programming equivalent of a custom ROM that you might flash on another phone. I do a clean flash every time there is a build update because dirty flashes consistently resulted in problems. A stock ROM should not be coded that poorly but it's an open secret that One Plus lost all of its best software engineers and the talent drain forced them to combine development of Oxygen and Hydrogen (the Chinese operating system) under one roof and all the programmers they have left are from the Hydrogen side. The problem with that is that One Plus is a very minor brand in Asia so they don't attract the best talent.

There aren't even plans to release an official version of Lineage Oreo for this phone. The OP5 was only sold for 4 months. If One Plus doesn't care about this phone why should major software devs?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] se7ensde:
I didn't tweak anything that's the default quality and far better than any of the pictures posted by the honor 8 on OP. And I will say whatever I want and I did contribute something for comparison all your doing is running your mouth. If you don't like the op5 then get the f*** of the forum for it.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pho3nX:
LOL, personnaly it's the worst pics ever on both model.... Seriously you have use Zoom on all picture and save with 50% jpg for post on fliker? Even my first Numerique Cam (1024*768) take better pictures

I took a picture just for you
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] NHS2008:
How did I contribute? I posted pics taken from both phones!

Please see the word I have highlighted above. Go ahead and report. Mr. FanBOY.

.......

Hahaha...good joke. Please post the full image then.

No. zoom is used. And you can see the difference clearly in both the pics.

And the pic you've posted. Is that supposed to be an example of Oneplus 5's great image quality? Cause I see ton of noise and smudged detail.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pho3nX:

> Not an example, just a pic in my kitchen without light (just normal light) and again compressed by casimage (host).. and this "poor" pic is x4 better than your posted quality pics. Even a blinded man can see that

Here ya go...straight off the phone.

Edit: Added another pic...?
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Topsy Krett:
The softness of Oneplus 5 main cam pics is a known issue (aka water colour effect); I have compared the pics from OP5 with LG G6 and Samsung Note 4. (My opinion = Note 4 was best). I was as disappointed as you are now, i suppose. However, since I had no choice but to use OP5, I found certain workarounds. Hopefully they'll help you too.

1) ALWAYS use manual mode for normal photos! (no need to tweak any settings, keep all on auto. Manual mode apparently doesn't use the same compression algo that main cam does => sharpness increased & noise reduction improved)

2) Check out the 100% jpeg mod in the forum. It's really works :)

3) Don't zoom in on every pic. I know it sounds silly but it's like a psychological itch you must scratch - don't. On the whole, the pics are pretty awesome if you just enjoy them as they are and not analyse too deep.

Cheers!

PS : Apologies for not being able to post comparison pics, I don't have those phones anymore. Just take my word for it ;)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] NHS2008:
I had note 4 too and it took great pics.

Yes. I have found out that manual mode takes more cleaner pics compared to auto.

I am using the Gcam mod and it actually does some justice to the sensor on Oneplus 5!

I was thinking of using the 100% quality mod but I read it makes the file size really large.

I don't use the zoom feature though.

Thanks for understanding my perspective.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] hayabusa_ryu:
Hi,

Since few days my phone is charging very slowly. When I plug in the charger it shoot up to 400 or 900 milli ampere in AMPERE but then gradually fall down to 30 or 70 or 180 etc milli ampere and stays there. I have tried 2 Redmi Note 3 Original Chargers along with 3 different USB cables (two of them are from Mi). Out of 15-20 tries sometimes it charges by staying above 850 milli ampere but below 1000(never goes to 1800mA+ before the malfunction). I do not understand what the problem is and there is no solution to this problem available anywhere online. Recently Mi service centre changed the battery and charging point of the phone and the phone charged normally(IIRC) during the first day but malfunctioned from the second day. The ROM is MIUI 8.5.7.0.

Do you guys have any idea?

Regards,
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] puneetanderson:
Have you tried those chargers on another smartphone?

How they perform?

Sorry guys, I was busy and took my Phone to Service Center. They fixed it by replacing charging port again. Now my phone is charging normally.

Thank you both of you for showing interest in this thread.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downloaderfan:
My work flow currently relies on apps being on my recents screen since it reminds me of work left do to. After upgrading to Nougat, I noticed that some apps started disappearing from the recents screen after a while. On further searching, I found that it's a feature in Nougat. Is there any way to disable this behavior so that apps stay in the recents screen until I dismiss them manually? Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Many months later, Oreo penetration is growing and this is STILL an issue. Google clearly intend for this work as it does, but i fail to see the logic behind it. I've often only got four apps in Recents, but they'll all get kicked out if i don't use them. They are still in Memory though, but have to be relaunched from their shortcut.

Google, what happened to you?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downloaderfan:
Yup, even if you only have 3-4 apps on the recents screen, they get kicked off. It's like Google wants it's users to stop using the recents screen by making it unreliable.

I requested for this feature on reddit as well as many xda threads(where it was relevant of course) & nobody seems to be interested. Guess it's time to learn xposed app development. You might have to wait few years though. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Lawr3nce:
Hello, I just purchased a brand new S7 2 days ago.

Awesome phone, although i have 3 concerns:

1. A hardly observable pink tint towards the bottom of the screen.

2. The phone heats quite a lot when i charge it using fast charge.

2. I compared the phone's display with a S7 edge's display(1 year old phone) and a S6 EDGE(2 years old phone) from a two co-workers and i found they are slightly different in terms of white colour --- Mine has a tone of very pure white, Their phones have a tone of a yellowish white.

My questions are:

-are these 3 facts mentioned above real motives to return the phone?

-are they small defects which are gonna degenerate over time?

-which one has the proper display? mine or their?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
1. Hardly observable = ignore it?

2. Well obviously

3. You want your white screen to look more yellow?

- Huh? Why you asking us if you should return your phone, your choice

- No

- All are proper, none are identical

Get control of your OCD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Lawr3nce:
Thanks for the reply

But i just wanna know if i bought a faulty unit and if this pink tint will degenerate(in time) into something worse?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
I already answered that question
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Lawr3nce:
Ok. Thanks again.

I returned the phone and got my money back. I don't wanna pay hard worked money and not get perfection

Hi guys,

i wonder you can help.

I used a software called dr fone to try and recover some messages from kik.

It was running and then it rebooted my S7, but then it was stuck at the samsung logo. I left it for a while and nothing was happening so I unplugged it and tried to restart. but now it always just boots to the samsung logo with a flashing notification light.

I've wiped the cache and that didn't help.

Does anyone know how I can solve this issue? Preferably, obviously, I want to keep all my data but if not then there's nothing I can do.

Will a factory reset do anything?

Can I flash a custom rom without root? And without unlocking bootloader? (I've no idea if the bootloader is unlocked or not)

Can I flash a Rom with odin(?) that will fix the device and keep the data?

Help please!

And a word of advice. Never ever use Dr Fone! :(

Flash stock over the top with ODIN 3.12.3 or newer, use HOME_CSC instead of CSC to avoid factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
Thanks for the reply! :)

I've no idea what home_csc and csc is but I'll do some research!

Will any stock ROM do?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
The stock firmware comes as 4 separate files you need to flash at the same time, there are two choices for CSC as above

CSC = Factory reset

HOME_CSC = No reset

Only choose one

Flash the stock ROM for your model S7, and your region / carrier

updato.com is probably the best place to find it, or the samfirm tool here on XDA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
Thanks,

OK, I've downloaded ODIN3 v3.1.2.3, the One Click Root version.

I'm currently downloading the stock firmware from updato.com, it's 2.1 GB in size, does that sound right? And it's going to take over 2 hours to download!

I can't see the options for HOME_CSC and CSC yet in odin, maybe I'm come across that later in the process?

I'm just waiting now foe the download, but once the stock firmware is finally downloaded, do I just boot up the S7 using Vol Down + Home + Power to get to the Download Mode. I press Vol up to select continue and then ...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
You need ODIN 3.12.3 or newer, unless that is a typo that is too old

Here is 3.12.7

https://mega.nz/#!jUgRiTSa!fnAVwr7yFi4dlPk4V0oQ5DuoFe3iiG0jH-ws91IHOPc

Yep, enter download mode, connect phone to PC USB, make sure the COM port is highlighted at the top of ODIN, then load the 4 firmware sections into ODIN

Hit start and wait for it to complete, you might find if that Dr Fone did more damage that you need to factory reset if the first try doesn't fix it

ODIN has the correct locations labelled for the specific parts of the ROM

BL

AP

CP

CSC

Each section of firmware is labelled accordingly, match them up
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
Thanks again! :)

It was a typo for ODIN but I think I downloaded the wrong version anyway as I don't think the one click root version is the right one? It's strange though, I went to https://odindownload.com site, which i thought was the official site and their latest version is 3.12.3? And you've linked me to 3.12.7. I don't have root but this version should still be OK?

I think I get the home.csc now. It's just a file from the stock firmware that I just select to go in the CSC box.

I'll just wait for the download now and I'll let you know how I get on. And thanks so much for all your help so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
In case you're not here when I have finished the download, can you tell me if I have to change anything in the options in ODIN or leave as default? There's only "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" selected.

Also, at the moment, my phone is connected to my laptop but is turned off. The com box in odin is

0:[COM3] and is highlight a sort of bluey colour. Does that mean it's connected properly or does the phone need to be turned on for it to highlight to a different colour?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Well the phone needs to be turned on to flash with ODIN anyway so..

Don't change anything in ODIN, leave it as default

Use the newest version of ODIN for best results
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
Yep, but you mentioned that to make sure that the com port highlighted and I'm just wondering if that is what you meant or should it change to a different highlight when I turn the phone on to connect? The log also already says <ID:0/003> Added.

I will be using your version of ODIN!

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Well it doesn't matter what colour it is when the phone is off lol

It only matters that the COM port is highlighted when the phone is ON and connected, to show that ODIN can see the phone

But either way, pressing start and the phone responding is a sure way to know too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
Right, Odin has finished.

It rebooted, took a little while to get past the samsung logo. Then sort of reached the home screen, but then it has crashed, become unresponsive. I can't get into the phone. Can't unlock it.

When it first reached the home screen, it said that

com.sec.epdg has stopped

ims service has stopped

and now it's just black screen, buttons don't appear to work also, when I first saw the home screen, a notification said that the "android is upgrading" with a progress bar.

Any ideas? Do i just wait?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Did you download the latest firmware? As in Nougat?

Possible if you downloaded an older version it would cause the crashing because newer apps and system apps vs older OS don't work well together

You could try booting into recovery and clearing CACHE

If that doesn't work and you definitely flashed the latest firmware, you might need to factory reset, but connect your phone to the PC while it is booted and see what you can recover via USB if it will let you

You could try safe mode too

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...leshoot-problems/m-p/13707/highlight/true#M37
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
Yeah, I downloaded latest version Nougat version from but looking at it again now, I just chose the first region in the list which was United Kingdom (BTU), but there are other versions, which i think are for different networks like VOD, VIR, but also XEU and H3G which I'm not sure what they are. Mine is unlocked so does it matter which one U chose? (I don't know what network, if any, it was locked to before).

Do you know which one I should choose or does it not make any difference?

I have cleared the cache and no change.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
No it won't be due to that, BTU and XEU are the unbranded versions, the others will have carrier bloatware apps and branding on them

You could try flashing once more, but I think you're gonna end up having to reset unfortunately
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
I'm downloading the XEU version as we speak.... I thought it was so close... :(

Samsung smart switch can't connect to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
If you already have BTU there's no point flashing XEU, I meant try flashing BTU again, I've once run into a problem that required me to flash the same stock ROM twice before it would boot correctly back in the Marshmallow days

Difference between XEU and BTU = when you receive OTA updates, nothing more

Moral of the story, always backup whatever is important, especially if you're about to mess about with something like Dr Fone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
I'm going to try flashing them both a couple of times if need be before resorting to factory reset.

How would I do a factory reset? Would it be with just using the CSC file, rather then the HOME_CSC in ODIN?

My moral of the story is DO NOT USE DR FONE EVER! Dangerous, pathetic software.

Ironic that I tried to use this software to recover data, only for it to lose all my data! :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Yea, CSC or enter recovery and reset from there

Yep, I would avoid any software like that, the name alone sounds alarm bells to me

Stick to XDA projects, or software recommended by devs/long term members here
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xxx889:
and apps are

Flashing the XEU firmware worked! I don't know whether it was the different versions or just flashing it again made the difference but I don't care. :) I lost some system settings and my keyboard but I think most of my data and apps are still there.

Thank you very much for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Alando123:
Try a factory reset or flash stock firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Harbik:
Good afternoon,

I found this thread and I happen to be in a similar situation.

I wanted to recover images from my S7 (SM-G930F). They were in my phone's internal storage and they just vanished (pretty sure I didn't delete them).

I tried using Dr. Fone, but instead of recovering any images, it left my phone stuck while booting with 'Samsung' logo flashing. All buttons work, recovery mode as well, I wiped cache partition (just in case), no progress.

When in Recovery mode, the android version is NRD90M/G930FXXU1DQL8. I want to flash a working firmware without loosing my data.

1) Will using Odin (don't want to root) and flashing a stock firmware trip Knox / void my warranty? I checked download mode, Knox isn't tripped right now.

2) Which firmware version should I flash with? The same one? (i.e. G930FXXU1DQL8 for United Kingdom?) Or should I flash with a never version?

3) Can I flash firmware / update through an SD card? Or do I have to use a PC and cable?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 02xda2:
If that's the case, then read the thread from the start, all needed instructions are there, follow them.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Harbik:
Oh yeah, I read the whole thread a few times, but it doesn't mention whether Knox will be tripped and if I should flash with the exact same firmware version as there was (before Dr. Fone) or a newer one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 02xda2:
NO, as long as you are flashing official/stock rom Knox will NOT be tripped. You can flash the one which was on before or flash a new one, doesn't matter. Care should be taken to flash your carrier compatible one.
