[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danaburnu:
Recently all of a sudden this problem began to occur. Especially facing this issue on gmail and youtube and rarely other apps. Whenever i am opening an email with attachments and try to scroll it freezes and restarts. Same issue happens with Youtube when scrolling through comments. Tried clearing the cache etc. but nothing helped.

This is one of the last one and it's log. Sometimes it's something like "java out of memory" or something like " anr input dispatching timed out". My phone is completely useless like this and i am desperate, any help would be appreciated. Xiaomi Mi Max 2 64GB, stock firmware, everything is up to date.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Megaromania:
What do u guys think of the camera?

Compared it to the pixel 2 and seriously that damn hdr on the google side is just insane.

P20 Pro loses alot of details even in normal shots.

Even in night shots pixel 2 captures so many details.

For some reason the ai also stands in the way, greenery mode especially cranks up the shadows and so many details are lost

I am kinda disappointed in the camera department.

Hopefully huawei will work on a better hdr in their future updates.

Pixel 2 is still the king of smartphone photography, can only imagine what will happen if pixel 3 goes dual cameras.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
Cant say that am agree with you,

And i own both phone.

You can go to this thread https://xdaforums.com/huawei-p20-pro/how-to/photos-huawei-p20-pro-share-fantastic-t3774488/page15 to read more discussion about camera.

Conclusion is. P20 Pro is not your another point and shoot kind of camera. Its more like a photographer tool. It give you best result when you play around the setting and willing to go through the learning curve of using various camera mode. Not a fully auto like in our pixel 2 :laugh:
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fregor:
I'm very satisfied with the camera. Although I agree that the software can be on the heavy side when sharpening and smoothing areas. Havent tried RAW mode yet, but I'll experiment some more with that later.

Dark shots are amazing when using auto or night mode. I mean, considering doing them without a tripod.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m.mcrespo:
any test gcam in p20 pro?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:
I am. Sold my p20 pro because of the camera and touch lag. I primarily take photos of people in indoor lighting at night, p20 pro just can't keep up with pixel 2 xl's crazy detail particularly in that situation. Using night mode gets it closer, but still can't beat the hdr+.

Also, the problem with night mode is that it is not a simple switch on the main interface. We have to scroll scroll, click, aaaand the moment's gone.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] isko01:
Try Night Mod in daylight it is better then Pixel HDR+. Thats what I see on meny photo comparisons.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Ozgur85:
Yes

You are definitely right! I looked at the original 40 MP photos taken with p20 pro with excitement. I zoomed in and saw that there is no good amount of detail! They looked like low quality 10-12 MP photos! In low light it might take better photos because it has a larger sensor but in low light nope..

I can definitely say that Huawei didn't focus on the "software" enough (shame on Huawei), that's very unfortunate considering this phone has a good camera hardware.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
I have Pixel 2 and P20 Pro and disagree. The Pixel has far too omuch noise in indoor lighting, the P20 pro is just as quick at taking the shot and is clearer with less noise.

As for the Night mode... usually it's for buildings and such to get great low light phots... So we scroll... and click... aaaannnd the moment is still there unless the building fell over... haha.

HDR+ on the Pixel is good, but i'm afraid it just got toppled. Even the non HDR shots on the P20 Pro (with AI off) are better in all scenarios.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] walkerx:
No issues with the camera, if you are wanting top notch photos then use a dedicated DLSR, the camera on the P20 Pro is the bridge between full on DSLR and Phone camera and does produce some outstanding results, just mess about with the settings, its not like other phone cameras and as a lot more settings/features to play with. I use my DLSR cameras for main photos while my P20 Pro will be for quick snaps when out and about and don't want to carry my main cameras.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
its a pity that you still use old software at that time,

.107 bring on much improved auto HDR. much detail are preserved, and it produce more consistent results on various scene now
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Allesa:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/8Wc9KBJPHaCbV3l63

Not here to argue anything cuz these are the kind of photos I mainly take now with phones. To each their own. Check info to find out which taken with what. P20 pro came closest when using night mode
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Neo_Sk8eR:
wow, much prefer the pixel shots
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
Ah, i see now. Then i would agree with you,

Pixel 2 XL would suit you much better for this kind of quick snapshot around the house,

using P20 Pro for this kind of shots would be a waste of money. Pixel algorithm do better job on that
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] neflictus:
Coming from a S8 Plus and Iphone 8 plus. The camera on the Huawei p20 Pro is weak as hell compared to those two.

Sorry, but it was just marketing.

Selling the phone and going another route.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] stargate1000:
Coming from every flagship the last two years I have to utterly disagree on your statement. Of course each to their own.

It's not perfect but the the versatility alone is huge. Night mode is certainly not a marketing ploy, it really does work and as advertised!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] neflictus:
Can't wait to go on using 4 seconds breaks for a photo at night.

Auto is useless. Everything is over sharpened.

Oil for all of us.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
The camera is amazing im sorry but it's the best camera I've ever used in a phone period.

Certain situations call for certain features to be used, but I'm in no way disappointed, it's a complete beast, there isn't a phone on the planet that comes close, perhaps the pixel 2 but only maybe on video.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bk227865:
I am not really disapointed , but for a phone focusing on it's camera so much , i would like some added features.

I'ts nice to have AI available , but sometimes i would like to leave my own personal touch on my photo's. So why not include the AI "modes" into the filters menu ? That way i can pick the mode and strength i want to see , when i want to see it.

Manual HDR mode , effect is only marginal ? can't set any HDR bracketing options.

Sometimes, in high contrast scenes, HDR kick's in automatically , without warning or any way to cancel it. The effect is really pronounced then.

Pro mode : where is the bracketing ? Sharpening settings ? Noise removal settings ?

RAW : is not really raw , there is some weird effect where noise seems to be converted to dancing lines. Lens distortion is removed , but vignetting is still present ?

I also would like to have an option to save the "developed" photo in a lossless format (with some extra bit depth) in stead of JPG.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] arg0:
Wow! that's stark! thanks for posting, it's exactly the type of images I plan to shoot and I was looking for a direct comparison between the Pixel 2 and the P20 Pro when shooting people in dimly lit indoors.

I suppose you had turned beauty mode down to 0, which however did not switch it off in earlier versions of the camera software.

Is the problem still present with the latest camera update (.128)?

Does shooting in Photo mode preserve more detail?

Thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

You said it, it's a software problem. The P20 Pro comes with superior camera hardware (a much larger main sensor to start with), so I really don't understand why it has to ruin skin in indoor shots to that extent.

From what users report it's all a matter of not being able to turn beautification off completely.

I've read that since update .128 the overprocessing issue was improved.

Does this also apply to skin?

How would such shots appear if shot in Photo mode, or RAW?

I ask about RAW because apparently Huawei's RAW images are also processed, at least geometrically, e.g. by applying lens distortion correction, so I can't be sure that pixel values are unaltered.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tariqgibran:
I purchased the P20 Pro specifically for the camera as I'm a professional photographer and want the best IQ out of my always with me smartphone camera. I have owned the P20 Pro for almost two months now and have seen a dramatic improvement in the camera software over that time. The initial, pre 107 firmware was terrible with regard to raw color vignetting and at first I was fairly disappointed. The 107 firmware corrected the raw color vignetting issue, though of course there is still the typical natural vignetting that occurs with a small lens and large sensor (and yes, often the sensor DOES affect vignetting due to how it receives non parallel light rays from the lens). So natural, non color shifting vignetting was not really a surprise and does not bother me at all. I'm very happy with the IQ from 40MP raw images now. It's not going to match my 36MP full frame camera in good light of course but for a smartphone, the P20 Pro is pretty amazing.

Probably my biggest positive surprise with the P20 Pro (beyond the software capabilities of Night Mode) is the quality of the black & white camera. Really nice tonality, no doubt somewhat due to the Leica involvement.

Anyway, I'm now on the 131 firmware and the additional improvements I would like to see are more user control over color saturation, noise reduction and sharpness (and I would also love to be able to tweak how the Master AI option deals with color and color saturation). For the B&W camera, I would really, really love a raw option as well as control of noise reduction and sharpness as I occasionally see where the very aggressive noise reduction completely smooths/ blurs very fine distant detail such as grass.

As far as all the noise about the P20 Pro camera not being as good vs phone X, etc. I would say that there is a higher learning curve to getting the most out of the cameras in the P20 Pro. I see this as the best option for a more experienced user who is looking for the absolute best IQ available today out of a smartphone. For someone looking for the best, "no hassle" snapshots from a smartphone, there may be better options though that does seem to be improving with every firmware update of the P20 Pro.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] rascal0pl:
Dude, please.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iblastoff:
sorry but the p20 pro camera is terribly underwhelming.

i dont know why people are bothering to post regular daytime photos as if thats 'proof' the camera is fine. pretty much every flagship device from every manufacturer takes great photos in ideal lighting conditions.

it's when you have to rely on the cameras post-processing in less than ideal situations is where you can see the glaring faults of the ****ty camera software huawei has.

i've had my p20 pro for less than a week and i'm already returning it. theres a reason why huawei's latest update disables the absolutely terrible AI software by default. even without AI, the post-processing seems to inconsistently turn human faces into blotchy messes. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. maybe that was determined by the 'asian market' of wanting stupidly smooth, fake plastic faces. who knows. but its a massive fault for what should be the best mobile camera available.

the over-sharpening is also obviously well documented and there seems to be no sign of huawei willing to tone that down. it looks so comically bad when it does get applied. like some idiot with pirated photoshop just turning up the sharpness for no good reason.

im sure huawei will get better with the software. but for now the hardware is so badly utilized i can't rely on this phone for taking even good, basic photos of friends/concerts/normal **** to post on instagram.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Luis2k33-XDA:
I really dont understand the people that complains about this phone's camera, the camera takes great photos, i tested it with Galaxy S9, and IPhoneX, the 3 cameras makes a great team, but also in this moments almost all the flagship are very similar in quality, i watched many reviews and Pixels, Top Iphones, Top Galaxies, and Top Huaweis are very close in camera quality, by the way i like the versatility in the P20 Pro, the pro mode, and the night mode, that is the clear winner, and also the design,

Another point, P20 Pro stills top-1 camera quality in DXOMARK https://www.dxomark.com/huawei-p20-pro-camera-review-innovative-technologies-outstanding-results/
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fgar82:
Well I know I gonna hear a lot but I have p20 pro and my brother note 9 and my wife iPhone X.

We took pictures around 15 pictures with all 3 phones. And from what we 3 saw p20 pro and not 9 are so close but when going to poor light or dark place p20 pro is ahaed of the note 9 and iPhone X at night is terrible lost a lot of details didn't belive it till I saw the other 2. So for me yes the p20 pro for now is the best and who says other way go buy Dslr better. DoX wot give it a high score if it's Camer was so bad. I don't need to see sites and samples cos had them 3 and saw it.

In the end chill and sell and go buy the one u think or u see it's better.... Hugs
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] m7svk:
I must agree, and I am using dslr for few years, p20 pro with pro mode is so far best mobile phone for photos.. ;)
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iblastoff:
lol dxomark???

how many times has it been shown that dxomark scores are basically useless? just google it.

i wouldnt be surprised at all that huawei specifically catered their terrible software to meet dxomark's criteria.

remember when huawei faked their benchmark tests and got caught lying?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] davidletterboyz:
For pixel peepers (details), the Pixel cam is better. That, plus HDR+ and Night Sight are wonderful.

But the P20 Pro is still a better camera for me. It has high dynamic range and great colour (Leica profile). Although the out of camera JPEG lose a lot of details, this is not an issue for social media resolution. To me, P20 Pro can be used in either of the following ways:

1) To get the best quality and control, use the Pro mode + RAW. The RAW output is remarkable and retain a lot of details. The full manual settings in Pro mode can give us a lot of creative headroom. This is where Pixel cam cannot provide. IMHO, photography is an art and this creative headroom allows more expression. On the other hand, the Pixel cam provide clearer flat images but it can only tell one side of the story.

2) Use the auto mode with/without AI Master for social networking uploads. Since we don't pixel peep in Insta or FB anyway, the lost of details at 100% zoom is not an issue.

The only issue is, we can't get the best of both worlds. Those who complain are likely to use the auto mode and expecting more details when pixel peep, just like Pixel cam.

Having said that, Pixel cam does not capture the best details among all smartphone nowadays. The app is great but the hardware is mediocre. Go check out HTC U11+ or even the Sony XZ3. The lens on those can resolve much better details. However, they do not perform HDR as good as Pixel cam.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] otonieru:
another new guy with just 2 lifetime posts solely for complaining about p20 cam without bringing any proof, lol, yeah we should listen to this guys :p
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iblastoff:
oh wait maybe i can at least link images.

here is a casual shot from a show i took.

here it is slightly zoomed in so you can see how bad the camera is with faces.

huawei camera software is SO bad.

if all im doing is taking pictures of trees in the daylight, the camera is fine for that. but i bought it because of low light performance. too bad the post-processing is so bad it ruins half of my shots, making it a very unreliable and ****ty camera.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Netsoft:
If you need sharp images during low light pixel peeping you should sell the P20 Pro

and get a Nokia 3310 + 5DM4 & 24-70 2.8
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iblastoff:
i need photos where peoples faces dont look like smudgy garbage. i dont think thats a lot to ask for a supposed top of the line mobile phone camera thats supposed to be the best for sub-optimal lighting conditions. even when i had a samsung s6, it didnt take such horrible photos like this.

if all i need is a camera that can take good photos in bright daylight, literally any flagship phone from the past several years would do just fine.

pixel-peeping is one thing. but i also don't have particularly high standards when posting to instagram. and these shots arent even good enough for that.

i have other shots taken where it looks like a terrible form of HDR is on, even when i have it turned off. objects and people are insanely oversharpened and you get a ridiculous halo highlight around subjects. i cant believe this camera actually got good reviews.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Luis2k33-XDA:
This whats happens when someone have no idea about photography, cameras and common sense, so iblastoff, do you want a phone´s camera that dont loose details in a low light condition? you must go directly to a DSRL, if you are complaining about the face of the woman in a low light condition, using the "auto mode" on the phone... dude you need to learn more about photography.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fgar82:
I think this thread is useless..

Not happy sell it buy other one that satisfy ur needs or buy an Dslr and that's it.... Phone sensors are too small and I doubt u will get big diff results.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoni1980:
Absolutely right. In fact, let's get rid of XDA altogether - or call it 'Phone Lovers Unite' - where people buy a phone and only say good things about it.

On a serious note, it seems the discrepancy here is in user expectation: when I manufacturer releases a phone with AI modes, the buyer can be forgiven for inferring that the phone will be designed to get the best results without knowledge of photography. Personally I don't disagree that such a large sensor could excel if photos are taken in DNG and manipulated elsewhere; but I'm not buying my phone for that - I want a device I can whip out and take a snapshot that looks fantastic. This expectation is met by the Pixel 2/3, for example, where the very promoted selling point of the P20 Pro - its AI capabilities - are at best, wildly overstated. To tell people (as some have) to just 'go and buy a Samsung then', or accusing people of being secret Samsung trolls is ridiculous.

I have had my P20 Pro for a long time and I like the device on the whole. My only disappointment is that it is a poor snapshot camera, and it's even more disappointing that Night Mode seems to have steadily worsened with updates.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] fgar82:
Well XDA has million of use. It's not all about quality. Grow up and again don't like it that's the way it is so go sell it or do somthing about (email huawei and te them what to do) or develop ur own brand phone.

What you expect from here do some magic to fix it.

Why don't u go back to ur old phone?

Im a photographer for mor than 10y and I'm satisfied with image quality maybe it's not perfect and will never be but that's the way it is.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] leoni1980:
It’s quite funny that you told me to grow up whilst offering that childish reply to my comment.

For the record, I’ve been into amateur photography since the late 90s. I can develop my own film and I know how to take a picture with a real camera. Perhaps I have a different mindset to you in that I don’t equate professional photography with camera phones - which to my mind have a different role to play in capturing moments. I also don’t think a good phone is all about the camera - as you seem to. I wouldn’t sell a phone I otherwise like just for the camera, but I think it’s perfectly fair to criticise a phone if you don’t believe it lives up to to instensive marketing by the manufacturer. I think it is quite dismissive of you to basically suggest that anyone who doesn’t think the camera is as good as they expected should stay off XDA.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] iblastoff:
lol 'learn more about photography'? this is a mobile phone. the whole point of all the software and post-processing automatically done for you is precisely so you DON'T need to know photography to take good photos, besides basic knowledge of exposure, focus and lighting.

huawei's AI 'feature' specifically exists to make better photography decisions for you. clearly it does not work, since they've disabled it by default now. thats how bad the huawei software is.

and for the record, i used to shoot using a film SLR, so if anything, i probably know more than MOST casual mobile phone camera owners.

are you saying i shouldn't have better expectations for a mobile phone camera that was specifically advertised for its low light performance?

the expectation is NOT to compare it to a DSLR (although remember when HUAWEI tried to fake a photo they claimed was from the p20 pro but it was actually from a DSLR? what a joke of a company). MY expectation is for a camera not to make peoples faces look like smudgy garbage due to what is obviously inferior software post-processing that you can't even turn off.

i guess your expectations are much lower than mine and thats fine.

give this lens setup to google or apple and i guarantee they could do a MUCH better job. huawei is just not good at software.
