[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zed'sded_bb:
Hi worldsoutro,

Photography is all about capturing light. And HDR is just another way of doing it. But it's not main way of taking photos. So, it totally makes sense to have HDR as an option. HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, which in return allows you to combine whites (bright spots) and blacks (shadows) in one image. In order to create such image, the camera has to capture at least three images.

1st - under-exposed (this image will give you very nice and dark shadows).

2nd - correct exposure (normal photo).

3rd - over-exposed (capturing those whites, sunlight, anything bright).

Then software will take all three shots and compose one image. The three images is a bare minimum, and there are methods that use 7 or more images to combine into one.

The biggest downside of HDR is color representation. All colors are going to be in extreme ranges. Also taking HDR photos is probably heavy on the battery, since you are probably capturing more than one image very quickly and processing it (HDR in Huawei might all be simulated via software as well, so it might be just taking one image and processes it to make it look like HDR).

If someone has info about how Huawei has implemented HDR photography, please post! I'm actually curious now.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] orangecroc:
Your description of combining exposures is correct, but you got the reasons for the different exposures wrong, underexposed is to retain detail in highlights, and overexposed is to retain detail in the shadows.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Over-exposure gives usable shadows and under-exposure usable highlights [emoji16]
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
So in a bright sunny day should I always shoot with HDR?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] zed'sded_bb:
Good catch guys. Yeah, overexposure allows you to get all details in the shaded areas and preserve them. While underexposed photo would exaggerate light sources.

I suppose we are turning this into HDR topic altogether.

worldsoutro - I think you can use HDR whenever you think you will like the result. Photography is art in the end. I would say that during midday hours (when the sun light is the harshest) and at night (with appropriate light) HDR can give you some cool results.

Play around with different modes. Check out Pro mode too. You basically have a full control over the scene. It's pretty cool.

Hope it all was helpful. Cheers!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeMTS:
Auto (photo) mode uses HDR whenever it deems it appropriate - it's those situations where it says "sharpening - hold the device still" (also the same situations where most of the criticisms of excessive sharpening apply).

It's a less elegant implementation of the auto HDR you see in some other phones, and one you can't turn off without switching to pro mode (but then pro mode is very good on the P20 Pro and also allows all its settings to remain on auto, so usually not a big problem making that switch when you need it).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
It depends on what outcome you have in mind the time you take the photo. I like playing with light and although I like wide dynamic range look, I also like to take photos with high contrast, so auto mode gets played some times and I have to lock the exposure the way I want

I am using dslrs for many many years (always travelling with a backpack full of lenses) but I think this phone's camera is really amazing. In really low light situations you can take way sharper photos than what you would with a dslr when handheld, and that's something.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
phone got stolen today.

1: can they reuse it easily?

2 will it ask for last used gmail account before setup?

3 phone is on stock rom, no root but with twrp recovery when stolen.

4 phone is pin and finger print locked.

not in my city so can't block imei yet, just want to know if its reuseable or not.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wertus33333:
If your TWRP is not locked (with a pin) they can get access to all your data (except for accounts where you always have to enter your password). The question is if they know how to do that...

Sorry but i have to piggy back off of what you posted for users like myself.

All links are specific to what i did.

I have a XT1806 US variant. I fastboot flashed this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746163614322262641

I DID NOT USE COMMANDS :

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

Skipped through Google setup

Factory Reset from within rom (only because [MENTION=5025218]VeerAmrit[/MENTION] did it)

Setup with moto and google this time on boot.

Copied this OTA Capture file from OP to root of internal storage: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=14nWazUMHTyk-od6SF3KJOXVTOWZoC_Do&export=download

Went to: App Settings > System Apps > Moto Update Services and gave permission to storage.

Rebooted

Mins later update notification appeared.

Progress bar appeared to be stuck but was just moving very slow for about 10 mins. It eventually progressed on and rebooted.

Update Completed =)

Ok sure, on first boot is takes you through set up of Google services. I skipped though that after I fastboot flashed the stock nogut firmware. The 61-8 file.

Factory reset the phone.

You have to give the Motorola Update Services permissions to use storage.

After you do that reboot and the update notification will appear shortly after that. Than you ought to be good.

[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bruno2676:
Does it wipe data ?

I am on stock, bootloader locked, and using a retbr phone. If I just put the file on the internal memory and update will it wipe the Data partition ?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] echo92:
This process should not wipe your data partition, but with any major system update, ensure you have backups (e.g. in the cloud or on your computer) just in case you have to factory reset your device.

Also, with that soak test Oreo update, you need to be on the NPSS26.116-61-8 firmware before flashing this. Also, it being a soak test OTA, you will not receive official OTA updates as you're now on the soak test OTA path. You must flash all soak test OTA updates or flash the official Oreo stock ROM to be back on the official OTA path.

I would also not recommend downgrading back to Nougat after flashing this soak test OTA (though in your case, downgrading would involve unlocking your bootloader and voiding your warranty, as well as erasing your data). If Motorola eventually releases this same Oreo OTA to Nougat devices, you may be okay. However, if you downgraded and then Motorola issues another Nougat OTA, taking that Nougat OTA may hard brick your device (as the Nougat OTA will try to overwrite your soak test Oreo bootloader). Try to stay on the soak test/Oreo path or be very careful downgrading to Nougat from Oreo.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bruno2676:
Yeah, I am on the last update of nougat (NPSS26.116-64-8). I already have backups, the only thing I am afraid is the fingerprint bug, but people said that with this method the bug does not happen, can you confirm that ?
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] lankthedank:
I lost my fingerprint sensing capability when I restored this backup.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] echo92:
Hmm, it's possible that you need the soak test to use this TWRP backup successfully. The reasoning is that the soak test delivers updated modem/baseband files - on the G4 Plus, we saw that using old/mismatched modem files (e.g. Marshmallow modem files on a Nougat custom ROM/stock TWRP backup) caused fingerprint sensor issues, and I would not be surprised if a similar situation applies here. I don't have a G5S Plus, but from the reports from other users applying the soak test and not having issues, and considering this is such a major update (delivering modem updates, including other updates to Oreo), you may have to consider applying the Oreo soak test to successfully use this TWRP backup.

EDIT - the 64-8 build likely won't accept this soak test OTA - you need NPSS26.116-61-8. From the soak test OTA updater script: Package expects build thumbprint of 8.1.0/OPS28.49-2/202c:user/release-keys or 7.1.1/NPSS26.116-61-8/15:user/release-keys
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] bruno2676:
But I am referring about the ota file, not the backup. My bootloader is locked and I don't have twrp to restore the backup.
[Moto G5S Plus ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] treyweez11:
Oh man you are really giving me the laugh I need for today. It's all love though. Lol make sure you have given storage permission to Motorola Update Services. Then reboot.
