[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] ImpulseGX:
While that may be how the cameras are designed, most screens are 16:9 ratio. Phone cameras aren't designed for award winning photos just point & shoot. Looking at 4:3 images on a 16:9 screen just wastes display real estate...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] krs360:
This has been the case on every phone I've had. 4:3 will always be the highest resolution.

This is on my nexus 6p.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Ziddy7:
I'm the dad l lol

I simply want high res photos in widescreen.

Personally I can't see the issue.

My 6-7yr old. Lumia 1020 with 41 megapixel sensor, takes 38mp 4:3 pics or 34mp. 16:9 ones.

My Z5 premium takes 23mp 4:3 or 20mp 16:9 pics.

I don't want to get a phone with 40mp sensor and only be able to have 7mp images at a widescreen ratio, kinda defeats the point imo.

I also don't want to end up having to edit every photo to widescreen ratio, not the hundreds of photos I take ?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] otonieru:
Any photographer will understand that shooting in 16:9 is wasting pixels. And wasting sensor real estate

It decreased quality doesnt matter how you look at it.

If i need 16:9, i'll just go crop it myself.

I rather have a full quality image to be cropped later, instead of a "pseudo wide" image which cant be reverted back to full size (uncropped) in case i need it.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] DaveP2611:
As mentioned, the Camera MX does offer a 30mp image at 16:9 but it seems to be the only one I've found so far.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] walkerx:
even on my sony cameras, the 16:9 is lower resolution than 4:3

16:9 is only really good for monitors, otherwise standard 4:3 is the normal output
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] marko68:
Agree totally
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Ziddy7:
Is there a way to set that app as the default so when you swipe, it starts that instead of the onboard camera app?

Thanks for the reply ?

I tried that app on my Z5 premium (23mp sensor) and it only offered 10mp 16:9 images!

Strange as the standard one does 20mp 16:9
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] thebigben72:
thank you for sorting out the Camera MX app, I have (or had) the same issue with the low res 16:9 settings on the p20 pro.

And i'm also not a photographer, but the only screens i'l use to look at my photo's will be 16:9 led-screens not 3:4 paper...

We've left the the 4:3 ratio on our TV's didn't we? :)
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
Shoot in 40mp then crop.

The 7mp wide is nearly 4k resolution anyway. But if you must go higher that is how.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] nzweers:
The dad is right. Cameras support 4:3 because that is closer to 1:1 which is the optimal sensor space behind a lens. However we left 4:3 tv's and monitors a long time ago. Even phones are not 4:3.

Shooting in 4:3 wastes screen space. It looks amateurish on every device but print. Yes you can crop later but thats a drag and its cumbersome to take the crop into account when shooting.

People just show pictures on their phone or screen share on tv. Or upload to a laptop or desktop. Neither device is 4:3. If you like to watch black bars or cutting your images, sure shoot 4:3. If you shoot to display them on a digital device then the first thing you do is shoot 16:9 exclusively.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MarianU:
Did anyone solved this 16:9 issue?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] edmun:
you have to finally decide if you are thinking about photography (then it will be 4:3) or if you want be just a casual picture shooter with the phone (16:9).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dlads:
Then just crop the image, with the frame you want, 9/10 you won't be shooting an exact image of what would be deemed a final product you would edit and change to the exact image to some degree.

If it's just for scrolling through on a phone? Then it's up to yourself, you'll find that 4:3 is the preferred method 16:9 is for video predominantly.
[Huawei GX8] Alv4ro:
Hi guys,

So my problem is that my phone (Rio-L01) only boots to the fastboot&rescue mode screen, i can also make it to the Huawei e-recovery screen but i can't get it to download an update. I tried the adb fastboot method with no success, I flashed boot, system and recovery images by extracting them from the stock update file but it failed because the phone is FRP locked. From my perspective it seems that I need to access to the phone to FRP unlock it but I can't do that because the phone is FRP locked, does anyone can provide help or am I doomed ?

I wanted to say thank you to this awesome community,

Nothing better than just contributing ... ^^

Wanted just ( Night light ) back on my Nexus 6p

Without those heavy mods with all those wallpapers and stuff.

So I just removed all those stuff, and only kept what must for night light to work.

Never tried on Nexus 5x, .... Just 6p

Again .... Thank you all

[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] Bokoblin:
Does it really work for you? Because on my 6P, Ok it enables the Nightlight configuration screen, but the screen tint stays the same no matter
[Nexus 6P Themes and Apps] RockwellB1:
Works great. For some reason my 6P does not play well with being rooted, and I was missing flux. This took care of that for me. Only thing I wish is that I still had the hollow navigation bar icons instead of the filled in ones. Small price to pay though to have night light working.

This doesn't work properly after the newest security update. It installs and turns on fine, but I can't access the settings from the tile anymore and can't change schedule settings. When I tap on schedule, the pop-up menu appears then instantly disappears. So it's stuck on my old setting of "sunset to sunrise", which is fine but for those that might want to change it...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Boosik:
Hello,

since Oreo update when NFC tag is read the phone asks me in which app (Samsung Health, Tags, another Tags and Automate) I want to 'open' it with no (known to me) way to select default app. Is there any way to disable this behavior?

I have a wallet case in which I have 5 cards (2 NFC access cards, 1 RFID access card and 2 magnetic strip loyalty cards). Problem is that when I hold the phone I'm used to fold the wallet case to back of my phone and the phone randomly reads any of the NFC cards and shows me the popup. It is extremely intrusive as it basically interrupts the thing I've been doing.

Disabling the NFC is not an option as I need it for Google Pay to work and I'm using it multiple times every day. Disabling Tags app is not possible as it is system app and Disable button is greyed out. Also uninstalling Samsung Health and Automate is not an option as I use both heavily.

Any ideas?

EDIT: as advised by user [MENTION=4951552]OnnoJ[/MENTION] I've put one sheet of aluminum foil to the pocket of my wallet case and the problem is now gone.

[IMG="solution"]https://i.imgur.com/kMWFSPx.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
1. Remove cards from wallet.

2. Tape aluminum foil to front of your wallet to prevent reading of the cards in wallet when flipped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Boosik:
1. Not an option as I use the access cards every day.

2. Good idea. I'll try this, I hope that I will not need too thick aluminum layer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Boosik:
The aluminum foil did the trick, I just put one sheet to the pocket of my wallet case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] marcoaltieri:
Aluminum foil

Wouldn't the aluminum foil reduce the GSM field has well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Boosik:
I have no reception problems. It is possible, but it's negligible as I live in a capital city and reception is great here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jagster936:
This is interesting. So I changed TTL to 66 (not 65) in hopes that it would speed up through a router, bouncing the packet twice. It throttles through router but not through direct connect to computer. I would think direct connect would throttle too. I'm not sure if IPV6 disable apps are doing anything, shows public IP IPV4 through the hotspot but through phone directly shows a IPV6 address.

I think VPN would work, but besides VPN would the packet reduce twice through a router? They must be able to detect a router somehow. VPN should solve that but was wondering if my reasoning is correct.

I'd like to set up a permanent VPN in the router so looking into that also. I have a cradlepoint MRB1200 and I cannot get it to work with VPN unlimited.

Hi Skeleton, am going through a lot of xda materials trying to educate myself in this very interesting stuff and I just stumbled upon something I'm hoping could help with getting my Imei/meid back. According to this articlewww.leakite.com/2016/09/how-to-flash-qualcomm-mbn-firmware.html there may be an option when choosing the 'rawprogram'xml as "rawprogram_unsparse_without_qcn.xml" an option which preserves RF Calibration data, IMEI and WiFi/Bluetooth Address, I have no idea If that could be edited, I'm far from trying to play a 'smart pants':cowboy:, I'm pretty new to this and I have a total respect and appreciation for all the work you're putting into the XDA.

That would be very interesting for all of us. I hope you can find something out. The flash via QFIL is a decent way, but one new app which is not working can cause a lot of trouble if you don't have the possibility to make a nandroid backup before installing it.

Gracias Genios! salve mi U Pro que le habia hecho Hard Brick y pense que ya no servia mas.

Lo salve con este metodo:

5. how to solve a bootloop, not booting phone.

the U Pro is very hard to brick. nearly not possible.

with this method you can always go back to the EDL Mode and flash a Stock Rom.

open your device manager and connect your phone to your pc.

hold power vol- and vol+ togehter as long as the phone vibrates.

in device manager you will see the HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver. then use flashtool to flash a Stock Rom.

if you see the HS-USB Diagnostics 900E make the procedure again, hold power vol- and vol+......

y QFIL

Hi actually there is no such setting that's embedded. So basically you have to install a third-party application which goes by the name of "Data Eye", it uses it's in-app VPN to control Data usage of specific apps.

What is codename for huawei p10?

i Feel like on p10 no one wanna to works or start to works.

1. reason is huawei AI, which disapers with other rom, wich cause battery drain.

2 bad camera.

3 phone who's not promise, stuck in midle p9-p20 it looks like he is outsider.

4. Phones withoud codenameis not phones what programers thake to do their job on them...

BTW you have GSI rom for p10.

[Huawei P10 Questions & Answers] gxg:
Bad camera in your dreams.

Aparenty you speak without knowing. Huawei Ai without processor is futile.

Battery drain... because of not usable AI..... in your dreams maybe.

Phone who's not promise ... what do you mean? It's the only one wit.hin 5.2" screen. The rest are phablets. P20 lite ... well .. it's a cheaper, lite phone.

Did you come here to troll or what? Do you have this phone? Did you play with it for 20 min or more?

Do you know what a "bad" camera is? ...

Do you understand the concept of battery drain?

What do you want actually? ... to promote a custom rom only?

for one thing your ipl & spl are different versions. if u want to know what to do look at the wiki for the wizard (make sure you do the cid and sim unlock). look up how to flash a rom, i recommend flashing the stock cingular 8125 rom (after you get the phone able to boot, and after you install the button rom) then flash ipl & spl to 3.08, then flash radio 2.71, then whatever 3rd party rom u want.
