[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Archer Casio:
That's right. S8 selfie camera, even though only 8 megapixels does have autofocus whereas P20 pro is fixed focus only (The type used in cheaper cameras way back then)

Autofocus > Megapixel count
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
Hahaha lots of comparison claims and yet not many actual comparisons! I don't dispute the FFC has flaws but I have compared it against the best FFC in the industry and that is the Pixel XL. Most of all, I supplied the evidence here in this thread.

Let's be fair guys. Bring direct comparisons. I took a shot of my face with strong backlight vs the same shot in the same conditions on the Pixel. In my opinion, they both look trash, even though the P20 Pro better exposed the subject, i.e. my face! So when all things considered, if the circumstances are bad, whatever the camera, the result will be bad. But vice versa for good conditions.

In my imgur link, the last photo shows that skin 'texture' and contrast can be enhanced to match Google's desired effect. Huawei just chose a different philosophy. Huawei makes you look a little better than you may be in real life but Google makes you look uglier than you actually are.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] otonieru:
i appreciate [MENTION=9126461]Archer Casio[/MENTION] because he is the only one present the real comparison, and i agree with him that the selfie looks better in his zenfone,

but thats normal, because it has autofocus,

although i doubt p20 pro exposure is that bad, i think is the older firmware
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] otonieru:
Here are some direct comparisons btw,

Using p20 pro, one other android and iphone

Am not gonna saya which one taken using which one though

i just wanna say that if its not better it definitely not worse either compared to other
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Archer Casio:
Thank you for the samples. However, again and again, those are mere close-up selfies which are within the limited fixed focus. Understandably, the result would be decent.

When trying out groufies (wherein the lens would be relatively away from the subject), P20 pro FFC would be showing its weakness.

I dare you all to take a groufie with the p20 pro with more than 5 people in the frame. It would be an overexposed mess. (Even in daylight)

Then compare the result with, perhaps a Pixel or a Samsung S9, I am confident that the result will be better. (Sharper, better HDR, more details)

Yes, there are times that I prefer the P20 pro front camera. (Especially when I want to look unrealistically attractive on a portrait selfie with only my face as the subject).

However, when I am with my friends and I want to get a good group selfie with everyone, the P20 Pro FFC disappoints every single time

Conclusion: P20 Pro FFC can be a decent selfie phone with people who only take pics of their faces. Other than that, it underwhelms.

Why am I complaining? Because this phone is so expensive! I feel that they could have exerted more effort in making it somewhat well-rounded.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] argh9:
I

I'm no expert tho, but my thoughts are..

First picture: Most details and gives for me the most realistic look. Absolute best Picture, the other two can't even compare, look at the detailed hair.

Second picture: Too much yellow from the incomming light, bad shot? Looks really bad tbh and gets even worse when opening up on a PC monitor.

Third picture: I can sense a bit too much beauty effect and even tho it looks good it doesn't capture the hair like the first picture.

First place goes to the first picture, second place to the third picture!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
First picture is the iPhone?

Last picture is the P20 Pro?

Second picture is a Samsung?

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] saisallo:
very interesting: try also with p20 pro to cover eyes.....try it by yourself, You'll notice a big difference also in self + photo mode.

I think that this means there is a face recognition algorithm that modify the whole scene light and contrast balance...hidden AI that you cannot switch off...

currently I use FOOTEJ camera app for selfies : I leave all auto settings and turn HDR ON, to me it has thebest results.

Anyway there is a drawback : you must be immobile, otherwise , because HDR mode is a multiple shots mix, you can have blurred images...
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] subhani:
Thank you for the footej camera tip. You're absolutely right. Selfies taken in HDR on the footej camera indoors at night come out much better detailed and with better controlled exposure levels on the skin tone. Maybe higher contrast levels too. The problem is that the app seems to be a bit unstable. Often not talking a snap when clicking the button to take a picture.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Hakkinen3K:
Hello to all.

I need to ask here because Sony Forums sucks, so here the people has more knowledge :D

My phone is:

- G8142

- Unlocked Bootloader

- Android Nougat 7.1.1 installed from Sony Flashtool CE1 Firmware .137

- Kernel and drm patch from Xperifix

- Magisk 16.0

I installed (weeks ago) Android Oreo firmware Generic Lam, CE1 .75 till .145 (this last one not trying with CE1 firmware) downloaded from xperifirm and flash with newflasher v10 and v11, but somehow after flashing firmware, kernel (androplus) TWRP, DRM Patch, magisk, etc is working fine until a few hours (between 6 - 12 hours since boot and connected to network) wifi dropping can't reconnect, data is dead, voice call is dead too is very annoying because i have to restart de phone, tested with all oreo stock firmware to the latest even with locked bootloader had same problems (.75), i thought that unlocking BL was the problem or magisk but for some reason in Nougat i don't have any problems, none, zero. Some people in sony forums have problems with wifi, others with data, other with both, so my question, what would be the problem?

Greeting and Cheers.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ultyrunner:
You say your phone is Nougat in the bullet points, then say you've installed Oreo in the next paragraph. Which are you on right now?

You also said you're rooted with the DRM patch, then installed Oreo 'generic' firmware. I'd imagine if you are trying to install the stock Oreo firmware from Sony over a rooted and patched Nougat base, that may be causing you the problems if it installs at all.

More complete information might help others give you some advice.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Hakkinen3K:
Hi, actually use nougat 7.1.1, but few weeks ago I flashed Sony firmware oreo (with newflasher) since. 75 to. 145 from scratch (no ota) to test adding DRM patch and magisk but all Oreo firmware failed in WiFi, data, voice, so, how Oreo is not for me right now I decide to flash nougat, that's how my question was born, why with Oreo firmware I'm having those problems?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] ultyrunner:
That's my point. If you were already rooted and patched and you tried installing the stock firmware from Sony, that's going to cause you potential problems. Why don't you try flashing the Turbo or Carbon ROMs if you want to try Oreo and keep root?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] josterm:
After ~14 months of ownership my phone started to get a bit wonky. My assumption is the bluetooth modem is hanging on a periodic scan/probe, causing processing of the central event loop (sadly I'm not an android dev, so I don't know what it's actually called - but the event loop that *everything* on the phone ties into for time and event based notifications) to seriously lag.

Examples: clock alarms do not go off at the correct time - they can be 5 to 20 minutes delayed. LightFlow's control of the LED is delayed by 1-10 minutes (e.g., stock light color comes on immediately, switches to lightflow's some time much later). Lightflow is set to clear the indicator once the phone is unlocked, but that doesn't happen until several minutes *after* I've unlocked the phone.

Turning off bluetooth via settings or the quick pulldown resolves this and the phone goes back to normal.

I've tried removing all bluetooth pairings, wiping data and cache of Bluetooth Share, wiping all cache, installed jrkruse's Hybrid BRA1 ROM, all with no change. This phone has never been rooted.

I use bluetooth a lot, so keeping it disabled all the time isn't super great.

I had similar issues with my S4, but switching ROMs tended to fix it, and certain modem FWs seemed better than others.

Any ideas?

My current build number is 2.42.617.6 and kernel is 4.4.78. I was wondering if I could revert back to the 2.42.617.1 RUU with the same kernel since that's the only one HTC offers on their site. Or do I have to be rooted to revert back? Also would I just be better off rooting and installing a custom Oreo build? I do have the unlocked version.

Tested on Lineage OS14.1, PurefusionNougat, CRDroid (not tried in other ROMs, it may work)

After trying a lot of modifications in two weeks regarding battery drain due to android os wakeup all time and little or no deepsleep, found a simple way to solve the issue.

1. Calibrate your battery according to post #9 (https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2765663)( (Essential- it will fix almost all errors regarding battery)

2. A simple build.prop tweak wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=200

Add this line to system/buildprop using a root explorer with root permission " wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=200 " and reboot.

His Post

"This is directly from HTC tech support. To recalibrate battery and HTC charger when battery rapidly or erratically discharges, this procedure clears all battery stats, coordinates and normalizes charging.

Turn off Fast Boot in settings. Power off phone.

Plug phone into HTC charger and charge for two minutes or more

While charging, hold down volume up+volume down+power button and continue holding

Phone will turn on and off repeatedly every 15 seconds or so while continuing to hold all three buttons

Keep this going for 2 minutes, then release buttons when phone is ON

Now, let phone charge fully normally (with phone either on or off--doesn't matter) and battery level reporting, charging and battery life should be normalized.

Do this every month or so to keep power system healthy--even if everything seems fine. Also, don't leave phone on charger overnight for best long term battery life (according to HTC tech support: "The first thing they tell us." This is true even though charging is supposed to turn off when battery is at 100%)

NOTE: Another potential fix for battery/charging abnormalities if this procedure fails (esp. after an OTA update when corrupted files can remain stuck in device cache partition)--clear cache partition using this method: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ver...ted-phone.html"

A Little Story

I bought this device through OLX and the seller selling it due to poor battery backup and warmer device even in standby. Due to interest in tweaking and modding from my first android device(Samsung spica 256mb RAM!) i bought it (with Android MM). Found the device doesn't enter in to deepsleep and android os is in the top of battery consuming. Two weeks of flashing differnet roms, Kernels, tweaking kernel through Kernel adiutor app, disabling and removing of apps , build prop edits etc. One day i noticed that my device goes to deepsleep almost suddenly after locking. Flashed the device again and do the tweaks one by one to know which tweak give me the result, and found the wifi scanning interval build prop tweak is the reason.

And it runs smoothly almost all time and some time it shows battery drain. So done some more googling and found this post in HTC One (M8) forum https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2765663)(. It realy helps to completely overcome the Battery drainage issue. Then i tried almost all nougat roms and all of them are giving excellent battery backup.

Now my device have no deepsleep battery drain issue and now trying some bloat removed nougat stock.
