[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] zsajak:
There seems to be a beautify effect going on when making pictures of people with the main camera, faces appear wax like. Definitely post process smoothing.

Is there anyway to disable it? It makes pictures of people unacceptable and I don't understand why they don't allow you to disable it.

Even when disabled, the front camera also does it, major disappointment here.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] Try it or die:
Hey guys,

i wanted to flash something, so i rebooted into recovery and i was asked for a password. I skipped this and made a normal reboot, but I have to enter a password. I've set a lockscreen password a few days ago only for a few hours, after that i disabled it and since then i have no pin, fingerprint or something else. Some people say that we can delete in twrp filemanager *.key files, but if I go to /data, it shows nothing (on /system I see all folders and files). My phone is also not recognized by PC (https://xdaforums.com/redmi-note-3/help/solution-fix-unlock-phone-restore-twrp-t3508173).

Any suggestions? Just made a reboot and now i can't access my files. I know that format data will solve that, but I really want to avoid that.

Edit: Storage was corrupted, so i had to full wipe...

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] taus90:
Ok I searched for Solution on google, it seems no body else is facing this issue. So here is my problem I migrated on to v30 from v20 and I noticed that whenever i play a song with quad dac on there is a very audible static noise in the background, like if the mic on or a better example would it feels like the song is being played on a radio.. where along with song there is a hint of crackle and white noise. My V20 never had this problem.

Is anyone else facing the issue, BTW I am on Philippine oreo KDZ, and will LG cover the warranty or should i wait and flash Indian Oreo to claim warranty??
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] iRS_:
did you try different audio sources, headphones, also try some speakers :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
Look: you ever used the "high performance" mode of the WCD9xxx in-built DAC of any previous Android phone ?

This raises up the output but also comes with the cost of higher "white noise" / static, etc. - this in turn is able to drive headphones with a high impedance Ω

The same applies to the dedicated "quad dac" - it has high output by default and thus is to be experienced best with "high quality" (well, most high quality headphones have higher impedance than the very cheap headphones).

There's a noticable difference for me when switching between e.g. the EP630, Xiaomi Pistons and the provided B & O Headphones that came along with the V30.

So there is NO issue and there is not really a solution but to use it in the way that it was meant to be used :)

tl;dr

What [MENTION=2953729]iRS_[/MENTION] wrote (other headphones with higher impedance) ;)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] taus90:
I did like, never had this problem on my Lg V20
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] iRS_:
i am asking if you tried all this on v30, NOT v20 ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] taus90:
If a DAC has distortion and audible static interference then its not doing its job. In simple layman terms, Switching on DAC should improve sound stage and frequency response and it is noticeable on any even basic headphones. Like I mentioned in my post I have Lg V20 too, and the DAC on that phone doesn't have any of the issue which i mentioned about my V30, to which you say is not an issue. Also Headphone (Mi Piston) is not an issue.. coz the same headphones works perfectly on V20..
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] zacharias.maladroit:
well, it could be due to how the driver & kernel is compiled (so it would be an out-of-the-box issue) - I've experienced this kind of increase in static noise on the Z5 once going from fstack-protector-regular to fstack-protector-strong (more functions protected or "tainted" in that case)

https://outflux.net/blog/archives/2014/01/27/fstack-protector-strong/

https://lwn.net/Articles/584225/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow_protection

Since the stock kernel is built that way by default the audio output quality could be somewhat worse compared to V20 (if there the kernel was compiled with fstack-protector-regular).

I can clearly hear how there's some distortion and audible static noise when the screen is off, quad dac enabled and changing volume (up or down) - the amp first is gone, the output is much more silent and there sound is less clear - more static can be heard

I've attributed this to the quality of the audio tracks I'm listening to - since with fully digitally created tracks this didn't seem to occur that much.

Also there's one particular issue I had forgotten:

Once connecting the Xiaomi Hybrid Pro and having Quad DAC disabled (so the stock WCD94xx used) either on left or right channel (every several seconds) there is

solely

(no other output) very loud static noise while playing music [similar to the static on old-ass TVs where only static is being shown and similar sound played],

when enabling quad dac/ES9028PRO it's gone. No matter what audio track is being played this was happening - I wasn't sure whether this was a software or hardware issue and since this was only happening with one particular type of headphones/IEMs I keep the phone so far.

Since you mention that the static noise appears along music output I doubt it's a similar issue you're observing.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] taus90:
Yes I did.. And by v20 i mean i tried all Flac, same mp3 on both the devices, wired speakers, headphones, so it doesnt seem the problem is with any of the external devices, , tried different music player, same problem it has to be issue with V30's dac or the headphone jack its just when i start playing a song with Hifi option on, the static and light crackles starts and when the song finishes playing or I pause the song the noise stops after like 15 seconds or if i turn off the dac the noise stops immediately. But toggling hifi option on and off without any music playing the issue doesnt exist, its just when a song starts and DAC kicks the issue appears, so i doubt its even headphone jack
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] taus90:
I wish i could have tested on indian nougat when i had it, to see if it is oreo related issue, now i have to wait for Indian Oreo to see if that rom has the solution. I think Ill probably send it to LG to fix it while its under warranty
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] downwiththebanksters:
Stock Nougat, just going to start the bootloader unlock process, but sonically it's been flawless, orgasmic actually, with Sennheiser 6xx's, Etymotic HF2's and ER4's as well as BT to a UE Boom. Only the occasional crackle because my HF2's cabling is getting old, so sadly I'd think you have a bad unit.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Bupreno:
Even I am experiencing the exact same , I'm on Indian Oreo kdz. When I turn on high impedance mode with sennhieser hd 598 and then connect it to my ath e 40 , I get a continuous hiss throughout the song.. sometimes it's irritating really.. I want to ask if someone who has rooted and using whiskyomega mod having same issues ?

By the way I don't get it on hd 598 , it probably dampens it..
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
The HD598 is 50 ohms (more resistance) while the E40 is merely 12 ohms, with a dynamic driver, I am guessing fairly sensitive. I wouldn't use HIM with earphones like that in the first place. That said, V30 is known for having a very low noise floor, so I wouldn't expect hiss, even with HIM and sensitive earphones.

Which music player do you use and what is your music source? Unfortunately V30 will upsample 44.1Khz sources (i.e. all CDs and most streaming sources) to 48KHz before sending it to the DAC. This should not be audible in most cases, but a few people are able to hear it when using very sensitive IEMs (typically balanced armature drivers). It is described in the opening post of the thread linked below:

https://www.head-fi.org/threads/music-apps-tips-and-tricks-for-the-lg-v30.868978/

The way around it is to use a music player that bypasses the standard Android audio path, such as UAPP or Neutron, both of which use their own audio driver that sends music directly to the ESS DAC.

Another possible explanation is if some EQ or other processing in your music player is messing with the data before it reaches the DAC. If you try playing with UAPP using Bit-perfect mode, that's a great way to determine if it is a hardware problem (which is possible) or something in the digital audio path.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Bupreno:
Will try those apps out.. i always use the in built music app. And ath e 40 sound just amazing with the DAC, that kinda quality just gives me a high , so I can't let it go.. I never imagined those earphones could be so good !!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
This sounds similar to what I experienced with my V30S using Beyerdynamic iDX200 headphones with the extension cable design*.

At first I thought I had received a defective V30S. Then I found the problem was limited to those particular headphones with their included extension cable. With the extension cable removed, and with any other headphones, the V30S audio quality problem disappeared. And the iDX200 sound fine on my other phone, as long as the extension cable connection is clean (it is prone to signal degradation by contamination).

My guess is that the V30 system that measures load impedance on the 3.5mm jack has some kind of anomaly related to imdedance/VSWR imposed by the connection of the iDX200 extension cable, even if that connection is clean.

Try different headphones.

(* The iDX200 cable is too short by itself, it has to be used with a short extension, either the included one or another.)

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Bupreno:
I have found a solution!!

Go to hifi settings in balance section, reduce the volume from left and right to as low as possible, I've kept it zero and just raise the volume to your liking..

In my case the hiss has reduced drastically to the point I can ignore it ! Hope this works for you!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Bupreno:
THANKS A TON!! uapp works like a charm , zero noise and never before heard sound quality !!! I'm Loveñ it !! I couldn't configure neutron though
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Great! I'm glad you like it.

And interesting that it solved the noise problem too. That most likely means it was the artifacts caused by upsampling 44.1KHz to 48KHz (performed by Android's standard audio path) that you were able to hear.

UAPP is my favorite too, both for its features, its ability to play redbook (44.1KHz/16bit) without upsampling, and for its user interface. Neutron can do that too, but I could never understand its user interface.

In UAPP, under HiRes Driver flags, make sure to select the MQA flag if you play MQA files or streams. This will ensure that the ESS Sabre DAC is fully utilitized for MQA playback.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Bupreno:
Correction- high impedance mode when switched on, even this app makes the noise , I had tried without the high impedance mode..?

but still ,otherwise quality seems better than the stock ! ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
Something is wrong, that just doesn't make sense. If anything, there should be less noise (if the theory of HIM activating more DAC units is true). And in any case is the V30 known for having very little noise, in any of its modes.

How do you trigger HIM? If you plug your headphones/earphones in directly (no adapters of extension cables) is volume loud enough?

If you play music through an impedance adapter, then I suggest you don't. Unplug the adapter once you've achieved HIM, then plug your headphones/earphones into the extension cable (or TRS adapter).

And if you don't need HIM to drive your headphones/earphones loud enough, I suggest you don't need it for maximum sound quality. The V30 was designed to adapt its output mode to the connected headphones/earphones. While it fails to do that correctly with planar magnetic ones, it does it correctly on most others.

Still, unless you are playing through an impedance adapter (which will change the frequency response of your headphones/earphones) or through a poor quality extension cable or TRS adapter, I cannot see a good reason why HIM should have more noise.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Bupreno:
Ath e40- when i connect without adapter, loud enough, okayish sound.. Just like any other device..

There was this one time the high impedance mode got activated by mistake, mustve been a glitch! but my god the sound !! - more punch, more soundstage , even minute details audible , more dynamic!! way more louder! Then i searched around and found a way to trigger it everytime by using ath cable extention and sennhieser hd 598 , then unplug senn without unplugging the cable And then connecting e40.

This time i could hear the hiss.. Whenever i plug the earphones only, theres no hiss, and quality is okay.. even though the hifi option is on. i guess it just uses the snapdragon dac or whatever.

to summarize-

if i connect the cable first and then e 40 - sound is louder and okay.

only e 40- sound is okay.

senn and then e40 (to enter high impedance mode,probably uses the quad dac for real this time)- sound is amazing!!!! but with hiss...

I've only used the stock music player uptil now.

now i use uapp- it still gives me the hiss when high impedance is on. otherwise the sound is a bit better than stock music player.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheDannemand:
[MENTION=7131109]Bupreno[/MENTION]: Well, you are triggering HIM the right way (by first connecting a high impedance headset through an extension cable, then unplugging it while leaving the extension cable in). So the noise isn't caused by an impedance adapter (good).

I am sorry to ask this, I'm sure you already tried: If you connect the E40 through the same extension cable without triggering HIM first, and turn up volume to the same level as you would normally listen, you are sure the noise isn't there?

The only explanations I can think of are (1) there is something wrong with your DAC or (2) the noise is actually in your music source, and HIM brings it out while Normal mode doesn't.

Neither of those sound likely to me, but I am at a loss for other explanations ?

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Andyfox10:
Hello

I have a 2.5 year old Nexus 5x and am seriously thinking about getting a new phone. I've narrowed it down to two choices.

The Oneplus 6 (8gb/128gb) that I could get for around 550€ with the student discount. The phone is everything I ever wished for, except for the camera, which I fear might be a downgrade from Nexus 5x and the not so good customer service.

The other one is Huawei p20 pro, which I could get for 570€ from my carrier. It is a great phone, but I really dislike the EMUI. I was not very impressed with the camera (I've seen some mixed reviews from people). Hardware is amazing, but I really dislike their postprocessing (the oversharpening and oversaturated colours) and I've read that gcam port is probably unlikely because of the Kirin processor. I also don't know how Huawei phones hold out long term (speed, lagging, software updates...).

I plan to keep the phone for 2-3 years. Things that are important to me are stock software and I also want a good camera (at least on par with my nexus 5x). I don't game and I mostly use the phone for calling, texting, listening to music, taking pictures and browsing the internet. It is important to me that the phone stays fast and doesn't lag throught it's lifetime and that it gets enough software updates.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Edit: Decided to go with the Oneplus 6. Thank you all for your answers!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Savoury:
I'm having both of them, and boy.. You can't imagine how much I hate EMUI. It's a nice phone, I rly like the Twilight color with the Black frame (switched the Backcover) but it's a pain to flash, stock EMUI looks like **** and overall I'm just enjoying my OP6 way more then I do the P20 Pro. The Camera ain't that bad, but compared to the P20 Pro it's quality is just poor. But that's a thing I can safely survive with.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
Had a P10 Pro and EMUI is simply horrible. I put it up against my 5t and the 5t won. I also recall reading that they no longer allow you to get an unlock code for the bootloader.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Goronok:
I have both devices as well. The camera on the p20 pro is definitely knock out, but if you value software experience at all, you'll hate it. EMUI is a clunky mess. Updating the device is a pain, it's really heavy handed with closing background apps (Android messages for web won't run consistently, for example) and in general, it's ugly imo.

I carry the oneplus 6 each day because I enjoy using it. I have been switching sims each weekend when I value pictures of my kids, etc. Ultimately, it'll find it's way to eBay.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mike02z:
Try selling on Swappa. I've sold 6 phones though them in the last year and much better than eBay. I think I sold every one of my phones in less than a week.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
Emui is not the end of the world. If you dislike it I would pick the OnePlus device. Btoh have pros and cons though. Huawei latest flagships don't have the slowdown like samsungs. So you can get the bells and whistles plus a consistent experience. Most importantly comparable battery with all the extras.

Like most Chinese oem's they all want to be apple/Samsung.

OnePlus is stockksh on a 1080p panel with the best hardware a available. So of course it's fast. Average device across the board. Biggest pro is extra hour of sot vs most phones(heavy user). Root and dev community.

Huawei will not be giving out bootloader codes after July(google actual date) but stock Android is available for a good majority of devices if interested.

op6 > p20 pro

my p20 pro got sluggish AF a month after usage.

op6 remains fast as day 1
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Ascertion:
I've seen videos of severe scrolling lag in basic apps like contacts on p20. It seems like EMUI has some issues it needs to work out first.

I just sold my p20 after using it for just a few hours LTE speeds were slower (55mpbs vs OP6 pulling 78mbps). As well as a bug utilizing the navbar on the device was buggy. When you enable navbar, it doesn't disable the fingerprint sensor from acting like a home button....so you have two home buttons side by side.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Principiis obsta:
I would like to add that the costumer service is incredible (at least if you are a European citizen). I was never a fan of Samsung's/Huaweis aftersale support since it took me once 3 weeks to change the display of an SG S6.

Changing the display and the back cover of the OP3 costed me approximately 130€ with free DHL Express shipping. It took 3 working days until it was in GER again. I shipped it on Monday(early) and received the repaired smartphone on Wednesday evening (express courier).

For the software part: You will have 2 major updates and 36 months security updates (check your for reference: https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.xda-developers.com/oneplus-software-maintenance-schedule/amp/ )

Google port and custom roms is a big plus for the OP6. Camera is more then decent, it won't produce pictures like the Pixel 2, but the white balance / colour profile is pretty good ( maybe a bit to satured reds/orange - if you want to be very picky).

Overall i would go for the OP6 anytime.
