[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] pope_acute:
tried Samsung pay today at the garage. worked just fine. Google pay update did break my phone then. Or possibly it maybe bank card related. i may have needed to unregister my card with android pay. Then re -reg with Google and the same card.

edit: tried to delete 're reg card now it states my phone is rooted or boot loader is unlocked. can't even add a card now. guess last thing to try is factory reset.

well I found the issue. somehow in developers bit the oem unlock was turned on. really not sure how that happened. as I don't go in there ever. only unlocked the developers bit because I could and that was done when I got the phone a year ago. but hope this helps someone else , probably not.

Hi,

what are difference between quality photos samsung s9+ and pixel 2 xl , when is low light?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Had the opportunity to play around with the s9 plus the other day and my pixel 2 xl took a better picture.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dazed1:
That depends from what you think is low light. If there is a direct light source pointed in the phone, like some store window or similar Pixel will be better. In real low light, S9 destroy Pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
In daylight, Pixel 2 XL will process the image nicer than S9+, but many times this processing makes look the pictures unreal and artificial. A lot of contrast and drama make the photos look "better" to most people.

S9+ will take more natural pics, they are not that crispy to the eye, but the colors and the scene will look more like real life.

In low light, Pixel 2 tends to be really noisy, both in photo and video, but is even more noticeable in video; Google processing tends to raise a lot the ISO, thus you have a lot of noise and artifacting.

S9+ has a better and clearer image in low light conditions hand down, and it prevail color and details better.

Depends on what kind of person you are: want natural photos?, you like to play with the pro mode?, go with the S9+; want crispy "social network ready" pics?, want just to point and shoot?, go with the Pixel 2 XL.

I prefer more natural and cleaner images, because I can put contrast and color after, but on the other hand, I can't make the noise and the graininess disappear from images in the Pixel 2 XL. Besides this, with S9+ you get a proper manual mode, which is really handy in some situations, so that's why I'm sticking with the S9+.

Is just a matter of personal taste and approach to the camera.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] pieman13:
I've used both the Note 8 and the Pixel 2xl. I miss the camera on the note. It doesn't matter the conditions. The Pixel 2 takes grainy pics. I think the older pixel had a better camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
+1

I don't know why everyone rate the Pixel 2 XL as the best camera in low light if the pics and videos look grainy and full of noise.

Even in medium light conditions, Pixel 2 XL processing is noisy.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:
I don't get this.

I owned a note 8 briefly, and I had to return it because I thought the camera was so bad. At the time I wanted something bigger than my norm pixel 2.

I did many side by side photos, and there wasn't even one scenario where the note 8 would beat the pixel 2. Dynamic range and HDR were so on point. I'd often find my note 8 would over expose or blow anything with a backlight out, and at night time photos would be a pastel, cartoons mess.

The s9 is a better challenger because of the image stacking on the dram, so after shooting photos this weekend you can see how strong it is in HDR and dynamic range.

I'm really pleased with it.

My biggest complaint is I still think the live focus mode is as poorly executed as the note 8. In anything but remotely good lighting it looks horrendous - which baffles me consider an iPhone 8 plus can do just fine. The image is also very soft and tends to blow out the recipients face.. the good news, is providing Samsung recognises this, they can tweak it and make it really good.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
I don't get this either, you are the first person I have ever read saying that Note 8 camera is bad.

Is true that dynamic range in Pixel 2 is crazy, no discussion about that, but the HDR and sharpening make the photos look artificial and unreal in many cases. Even people sometimes look weird because of the contrast and saturation that Pixel 2 puts in the photos. This makes the pictures more appealing to the eye of course, and it can give a false impression of a "better picture", but is only when you see carefully and in detail that sometimes is too much processing.

Overall in daylight conditions, the Pixel 2 and the S9+ can take similar pictures, but is in low light when the game changes in S9+ favor.

Anyway, if you want pictures Pixel 2 style, just install the GCam or improve the picture in Google Photos, which gives a similar result.

I prefer more natural pictures even when they seem softer compared to the Pixel 2, but maybe you prefer the approach on the Pixel 2.

:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:
Interesting how two people can view the same thing but have two really different opinions! Haha.

I do agree somewhat in what you say about the pixel 2 over processing with the saturation and contrast on faces, they can look really odd.

I do think the overall s9+ camera when you factor everything in, is better than the pixel 2.

But going back to the note 8, which was my original point, I always found it blew out my images, over exposing them, and the HDR didn't seem particularly good either - the s9 seems to have fixed this issue.

If they fix the live focus/portrait shots, then I wouldn't really have any qualms - reason why it bothers me is on my pixel 2 I have taken the odd portrait shot which genuinely can be so good they look pro (unless you pixel peep, which I don't).

All round an excellent camera, and the s9, in my opinion, just seems so much better than my note 8
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kumar abhishek:
Also add the front facing camera which somehow produces those soft images that lack in detail as compared to the pixel 2 even in low light considering the pixel 2 camera is f2.4 while s9 is f1.7
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
Yes, front facing camera is better on the Pixel 2, no questions about it.

I just hope Samsung can fix this in future updates.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:
I think it's all easily fixable. Just depends whether Samsung want to!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] boober78:
I will be doing extensive tests from tomorrow, as I have both cameras. So far I have to say Pixel's algorithakes the photo looka bit better (sharpness, micro contrast etc), however it's a bit more noisy as well. S9 camera has a huge potential, but Google camera app is just better. And the portrait mode on pixel blows everything out of the water.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
What about trying Google cam in the S9?, I think it will be an interesting comparison as well.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] boober78:
Yes, but I'm trying to find the one that will actually work. All of them seem to either force close or have a black screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:

Medium-low light indoor. No contest. As usual, loss of detail on Samsung flagship Phones, nothing has changed.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
Honestly, I prefer the one from the Samsung, as it is sharper and more colorful.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:
Are you sure? Pls look at the image info so that you know which one is which..

Look at my daughter's eyebrows.. You can clearly see the details on pixel 2 xl shot, but the detail is lost on s9+
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Galaxo60:
Yes, I'm sure, and i'm looking in my 50" 4K screen and of course I see every detail difference.

You are right in what you say, about the eyebrows and also I noticed in the hair, Samsung with this camera is softening the pictures a little with the processing, but still color retention and noise reduction are better in the S9, and even detail in textures and some other things:

View attachment 4448876

Is true that Samsung softens things, but Pixel in my opinion do the other way around and it applies too much oversharpening sometimes and the pic look unreal.

Anyway, is just a matter of what you prefer and what processing approach suits you.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:
The problem is, i focused on my daughter's face not on my bedsheet..

And no, my daughter's skin tone is not that red. I'll be worried sick if my daughter's skin is that red.

I'm comparing both at my professionally calibrated monitor (i work in film industry). The skin tone on s9+ is not right.

You are right on some photos pixel processing a bit too much (hdr+), but in this particular photo, i believe that it is spot on. Will post more comparison pics mainly medium to low light photos.

On the smooth (s9+) vs grain (pixel 2 xl). As a film director, i always prefer fine grain over smooth. Fine grain retains sharpness, while noise reduction reduces it.

[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaosruler:
hi guys

newest firmware is out, completely solved the constant flash of the screen during sleep mode (as a result, battery will last much longer)

as usual, flash with stock recovery (WW-5.17.44.68 is recommanded) and than go back to TWRP, if you didn't unlock your bootloader just wait till

you can trigger the update via the Settings -> Software Update option.....

So far I can confirm it boots alright, still on Android 7.0 and the security patch is updated to 5 Feb 2018 (which is pretty cool, no KRACK or BLUEBORNE exploits....)

discussion?
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion] asianflipboy:
Interesting, was this an issue with the WW-5.17.44.68 update or has this been an ongoing issue? I didn't bother with the previous one because it didn't seem to do a whole lot, but never noticed this issue.

I hate doing this juggle. Big part of why I don't try to update unless it's significant :/

Thanks for the heads up on this. I check the release thread often in hopes of Oreo, but they don't bother putting this information on their small updates. I think I'll update just because of that really, although Oreo would have been nice too :silly:

I feel like there's probably only 2 or 3 people who check these forums often nowadays, which is a shame because the phone is quite nice, and even has the bootloader unlocked as well. But ASUS seems to have too many phones that need updates and we're left in the dust waiting. Both XDA and Zentalk forums have people complaining and talking about this being their last device, which is reasonable and align with my thoughts as well. Really though, I want to go and make my own ROM for this phone, but don't really have the time, resources, or experience to tackle it just yet. Maybe I can use it in the future for practice :p
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaosruler:
Awesome guide!

I think its worth to mention that Win10 is not a must, you can use any Windows from XP forwards as long as you install the android adb driver and software, you can also use Linux (most package managers handles symlink to adb) as well as Mac....

Also the adjustment done between the snapdragon 820 and snapdragon 821 version is not just around the update file downloaded but it's super important to make sure to not do that mistake, not all recoveries handle checking and if you flash the wrong file you might brick your device, even though its likely you could fastboot your fw slowly, youd lose all your data, so its better to back up your data on your sd card
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion] indiana99:
Error when I try to download.

This the response I get from ASUS's website:

An error occurred while processing your request.

Reference #132.563d717.1520889776.1930fb2f
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion] Ryder.:
It's better to use everytime the latest stock recovery from the latest firmware. You can find it here: https://www.asus.com/zentalk/tw/thread-185884-1-1.html?_ga=1.231834332.2123005859.1491423435

5.15.44.2562 version is the latest available from android file host, but it's not the latest recovery.

I also suggest the latest twrp which is the 3.2.1-0 version now and is compatible with oreo
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion] asianflipboy:
You're right about that. I've updated my post to reflect it.

This 100%. I think that it's important to backup any data that isn't already backed up. I can only hope that those who do have to go through this update process (as opposed to OTA updates) are careful with which versions they install.

Thanks, didn't realize there were updates for either. I've updated the post I made to reflect both changes. In regards to the Zentalk forum, I kept getting asked to login, so that's why I opted to use the AndroidFileHost link instead. I think it may have been because I was on mobile at the time. In any case, I dodn't have to login when viewing the forum on my laptop (might be adblocker?). Even though the older stock recovery worked fine for me, I think others should use the updated stock recovery to avoid any issues.

I didn't check the Mega for the updated TWRP. Didn't really expect it to be updated since we don't have Oreo yet, but it's nice to see that it's been made available. I've updated my own recovery to 3.2.1 and it's working fine.

Are you still having issues getting the update file? I can upload it if their website is still giving you issues.
[Asus ZenFone 3 Deluxe Guides, News, & Discussion] Chaosruler:
I think it might be worth to upload recoveries to xda for ZFdeluxe including TWRP

No. Thank you very much for asking. I downloaded from a different location.

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

Sorry for re-quoting all of you, but do you guys see the update anymore? It might have been why /u/indiana99 couldn't find it. I went to check while making the zip packs and it's not there... Maybe there was some issue with the build? It's got me a bit shook that it's suddenly not on the website.

That's weird to me though. I just checked again and both variants are missing the current update, 5.17.44.87. Did they pull it for some reason? As far as I can tell, my phone is behaving pretty normally. Anyone that's updated notice anything weird?

Hello i have a problem with my phone that suddenly i wake up and my phone was stuck at logo/loading screen i restarted and still stuck i tried most stuff on the internet to fix it and still no luck.

I ask for someone to help me with this problem since i need my phone and i can't find the stock rom for this phone maybe because i'm searching for the wrong stuff i don't know.

Things i tried:

Wipe/clean cache data etc- still same

Flash recovery.img through fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" -- still no luck and got error "recovery doesn't allow flash"

Downloaded some rom for this phone after searching the internet with this number that apparently it's the serial number that i get on "Android system recovery" 857413_v2.8_20150130 -- still nothing to help because after trying to install through adb i get error "installation aborted"

So if someone could help me out or tell me if i'm doing something wrong please tell me.

Hey there!

Im having trouble with uninstalling magisk because it sends me into boot loop all the time.

Now i came up with the idea to flash the boot.img with the help of TWRP myself after using the latest magisk uninstaller. But that sends me into boot loop too and i realy wonder how that can be because its the boot.img ive found in the AP.tar of that rom ive currently installed.

I realy dont understand this :confused::crying:

anyone that can help wth that?

thanks for your time and answer!

[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Flashing the stock boot image is the right idea and should work. Not always though and Samsung and Huawei seem to be common devices.

A dirty flash of your ROM might work. But, it's probably best to ask in your device's forum. Might be you need some specific process...

I flashed the firmware from here https://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/6-8-t-mobile-935u-firmware-qe2-t3619151 along with the Tmobile radio via Odin 3.13.1, it failed in Odin and now the phone is stuck on the samsung logo. I used the BL and the AP from the zip, the CP I used from the separate tmobile download link. For the CSC I first tried the CSC that is in the package and when that failed I tried the HOME CSC even that failed. the User data I kept blank both times.. Then I tried it a third time same as above except in the CSC I put the CSC file from the zip and in Userdata I put the Home CSC file, it failed again. Am i doing something wrong ?

Update: I have been trying to flash the stock firmware from samobile, but I am unable to do even that. It keeps failing. I downloaded the firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/...S5BRA1/206887/, extracted it, added just the AP and as per instructions went in to download mode, clicked on start and it keeps failing. In Options only auto reboot and f reset is clicked.

I would really appreciate any help to unbrick this device, it is stuck on an exclamation mark saying " An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software". Smartswitch is not recognizing this device saying it's an unsupported device so emergency restore software wont work from there. I can get it into download mode but as I said flashing the firmware via Odin is not working.

Firstly I would check your use cable, I have a bunch and not all of them work. Secondly, make sure that your phone is being recognized on PC, hence the cable check. and third, make sure you are flashing the correct firmware. You said TMB, but I see you are flashing 3 different company files. Hi back to full G935P firmware , you front need to flash TMB on t, it should be fine cause I have a g935p with TMB sim in it

Anything else I'll be glad to help
