[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jeph gonna Steph:
Believe it or not, P20 pro shoots terrible photos! Zoom in and see the details they are absolutely terrible. Especially when shooting close-ups the phone performs poorly and the images are blurry. I don't know why the problem occurs but it shouldn't be how so called the worlds best camera would perform. Anyone else has this problem?
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
Sure. But it looks nice on the phone display. This is what people want.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Jeph gonna Steph:
but why is it even worse than my old huawei p8 lite.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] all the pugs:
I don‘t know. I also wonder. For me, zoom is not usable, and I only use pro mode, because it processes the images differently. Auto, night and hdr mode are currently just outputting bad, blurry and oversharpened images. Hoping for a firmware fix but I often read that other users like the look, so it‘s probably how huawei wants them to look.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] solefero69:
I noticed that the zoom sensor isn't always stabilized: in low light and in close up shots it loses his stabilization, thus it produces awful results. Few days ago I took a picture of a little cat with 3x zoom, in a very low light scenario. This is the result I got (see attachment).

I also have attached a video where you can clearly see the stabilized zoom lense kicking in, and how shaky the image is when the stabilization goes off (focus on how the images "stretches" when I zoom to my little Wi-Fi antenna and to my mouse).

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] solefero69:
Another quick comparison (attachments):

3x Without Stabilization (closer to subject) vs 5x With Stabilization (Farther)

Same light conditions, I just moved farther and closer to reach the distance needed to lose stabilization.

I think our zoom lense is intended to work just with far objects and not to take closer macro shots.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] kabirjedi:
Mate! yes!

When capture close photo with 3x zoom not the TELE lense working .!!!Regular lense with DIGITAL zoom

Tele lense useless for macro shots! Minimum distance 1, 1.5 meter need.

Your absolutly right!
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] solefero69:
I roughly measured the distance: it's about 50-60cm. Getting farther from this with good light conditions will enable Stabilized Zoom Lens. In low light scenario, stabilization doesn't work at any distance for me.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] holgerka75:
I agree! Especially in scenes with high contrast (landscapes in bright sunlight...) 1. dark surfaces (mostly shadows) turn into deep black (no more structures...) and 2. all details lost when you zoom into the picture (And no, i am not a pixelpeeper, but pls compare the 100%-View with another flagship...).

Intelligent Auto-HDR has to come, like in iOS or Samsungs Galaxys...

I also agree with the statement, these p20 pro pictures were made for good looking at the small display, not more!

I'm sorry but that's not totally correct. When AI is turned on, it automatically enables HDR when needed and is surprisingly good.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Magnus3D:
Obviously there are shortcomings with the zoom which users should be aware of when using it. The big one is the aperture which if i remember correctly is only f/2,4 or something like that. A big difference from the other lenses as it let's in a lot less light to the sensor. It also answers the questions why it performs poorly when the light disappears. Use zoom only when you have enough light to get a good shot, if the light is poor shoot at 40mpix shot and then crop it in post.

I'm having no big issues with the zoom myself as i only use it in good daylight situations and i avoid the 5x zoom since it looks way to artificially enhanced. Just crop into a 1x or 3x shot is enough.

I do wish Huawei toned down on sharpening and noise reduction as it would improve detail rendering to a much greater degree. A little sensor noise is not a bad thing, it gives photos a bit more character and personality. :)

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] thanito:
Totally agree with you
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] MikeMTS:
In auto mode HDR is also used automatically when deemed appropriate with AI turned off. The only way to disable auto HDR is to use pro mode (and likely some of the other modes, but they are obviously more specialized).
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] holgerka75:
Absolutely +1!

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:15 AM ----------

Sorry you both(solofero & MikeMTS)! It may be right that HDR comes with Auto (with AI or w/o AI doesn´t matter)... But that intelligence when HDR turns on is crappy, most pics I wish they had HDR comes without it. So I have to turn on HDR manually for most situations...

Switching cameras seems improved a bit in firmware 131 BTW.

That is for anyone who has noticed an issue.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] dasebasto:
Awful pictures

I have to agree with OP.

Most of the photos look awful, soft AND with a weird noise pattern.

Both my Galaxy S7 and Nexus 5X did a better job in most situations...

Attached is an example of a 3X zoom photo. Not sharp at all, despite decent light conditions...

1st one is blurrier probably because of motion blur and poor stabilisation.

hey guys.. the "zoom" is only a crop sensor view .. no optical zoom..
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] lee1971:
I've just got a p20 Pro. Although I like the phone and being a photographer myself I can honestly say I think the camera on this phone is poor. The front camera is soft and has no detail while the rear camera produces decent images they're also out of scale around the edges. Post processing also has too much contrast.. My galaxy s7 produced some stunning images. I'm Yet to get anything decent with the p20 Pro.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] spiderx_mm:
yap, it's sort of AF-C with a bit of compensation for the shutter lag. Guys who received 156 and 157 reported that it no longer works on auto mode.

That's exactly why I'm wondering whether this phone even has OIS or not. The stabilisation is just very inconsistent.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Svetz:
In low light it doesnt use the Telephoto sensor while zooming, it use a digital crop from the main sensor, thats all. there is no mystery.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] wort11:
Didn't know that, thanks for clarification. However that still does not explain why is video so jittery if the camera is supposedly "stabilised"

On my Xiaomi Note 5 this happens too, I always flashed Lazyflasher after flashing TWRP to prevent replacement of my TWRP.

Now in the S2 I tried it and it wouldn´t start anymore. Had to use XiaomiFlash to flash new system ( MIUI 10 ).

Beware to uncheck " Lock Bootloader " on bottom of Xiaomiflash window before flashing. Unofficially unlocked phones will get bricked to the point that only "Testpointmethod" will work.

[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Paikuhan:
Yes twrp works in Indian redmi Y2

but u have to flash with lazy flasher zip file from twrp to keep it permanent or it is replaced by the miui recovery again. It's useless to flash twrp in y2 because there are no custom roms available for it, I hope some developers do make custom roms for it. By the way you can use Miui Globe Rom, through twrp because after flash twrp recovery your original Miui stock rom/system won't boot until you flash it with Miui official rom again.

It is very ugly and bright white. At least my S5 had a black samsung and red Verizon splash screen. Ideally I would like to eliminate both, and surely it would speed up booting. If not, I would like a generic black screen or a samsung with a black screen splash screen.

How can I do this on Verizon G930V S7 running Nougat 7.0?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
The only way on Nougat is a custom/modified stock rom. Look through the roms forum and check out the options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] zxzxzxzxzxzxzxzxzx:
The only ROM option for snapdragon is the VZW_TMO HYBRID one. With an ugly boot screen still white although no verizon boot it is replaced with white samsung splash. I wonder if I can manually modify that rom with a new boot before flashing it? I would like to have only the OEM black samsung one.

EDIT: the newest v13 version of the hybrid rom for FLAT g930v actually has choices of boot screen! Edit: v13 results in bootloop. Went through the whole ordeal twice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] gunz.jones:
Well, you stepped on yourself by telling me it's not possible and then telling me what's available in that forum. The hybrid is a modified/custom stock and has options for boots on the older version because I was using the pixel boot and shutdown screens which were black background. I stayed on that until the oreo release from jkruse based on the official release, but that does have the obnoxious white. I'm sure with the boot strap there must be a way to flash a custom boot screen. If you're staying on nougat, then eng boot and using flashfire to do the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Hemidrosis:
You can wait till the unlocked snapdragon version gets oreo. The I'm pretty sure the boot logo will just be slow blinking Samsung logo . Alternatively, you can ask jkruse how to do it.

So it seems that the Here wego maps/navigation app is not available for the s3 if you aren't using a Samsung phone. (I happen to use an LG v20)

Has anyone found a way to side load the app? Or what is the best alternative maps application for the s3?

Ok I found a way around the issue for anyone watching this thread... It's a little crazy and not for everyone.... I happen to have a Samsung Galaxy S7 as a work phone... I connected my S3 to that phone, where it installed HERE by default.... I then backed up the watch to my samsung account and then reconnected the watch to my LG V20 and restored the backup which included HERE.... Boom.... Problem solved
[Samsung Gear S3] christis:
That's strange.. I got my S3 R-760 back in October 2017 from the UK. Immediately paired to a Sony Z5 and has been like that ever since, even after the ROM updates. One of the first things I did was to install HERE. Can't remember how exactly but it wans't a hassle so I assume straight from the watch or the store. I guess it has been removed after I installed it. Using it now as a standalone, no connection to the phone is required, just direct connection to the internet via wifi or hotspot. Of course I do not have the convenience of using it through the phone which could make it easier to search etc, but it is good enough.

Nice workaround you found, but for those that do not have the option of a Samsung phone, this thread could help: https://xdaforums.com/gear-s3/help/wego-t3724511/page3

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] weilt:
does anyone have any source for a replacement battery for the Z2 tablet? I still love it but my battery has started "swelling" (there is a noticeable bulge on the back of the case, though the screen seems unaffected; I guess the glass up front is stiffer than the plastic on back), which as I understand it could be a safety issue. I've contacted Sony but they are no help ("no longer supported"). Google results inconclusive/not definitive.

I can't be the only one needing this (and ... battery replacement is something that'll be of interest to eventually happen to all of you?) Anybody? It shouldn't be too hard to DIY the actual replacement (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzoHUlxLNBU for example), the problem is just getting the replacement part.

placing an order...

... fingers crossed!

EDIT: actually wait, they're from a company that's actually in Hong Kong, which is closer to me. I'll call them up during working hours and see if I can get from them direct...
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] weilt:
OK an update just in case this is useful to anyone:

I was in Hong Kong and based on recommendations (+ a warning to be careful for "untrustworthy" shops etc.), I went to Sin Tat Plaza (very close to the Mongkok MTR station, which was how I got there). I did not do an exhaustive search, but I eventually had my battery swapped (required a 1 week wait time + a 100HKD deposit which was counted into the final cost) by the shop at the 3rd floor immediately in front of you when you get off the escalator (marked "S52") .

I don't think they were the cheapest (HKD450 total) but they weren't the most expensive quote I got (ground floor shops quoted me something like HD550), and many other shops told me they couldn't do it. I was fairly concerned overall since there are stories of people who've e.g. left their laptops with various shops and then found that parts had been swapped out without telling them etc. In my case, the battery swap was done in front of me ("while you wait"; took maybe 15 minutes to half an hour).

These guys managed to source for me what looks to be an original Sony battery (when mine was removed, it was basically identical, with identical "Sony" labelling, though theirs had additional printing on it of some sort of tracking number?).

I can't say I can really vouch for them although I felt safe enough to commit to having them source and replace the battery in that he outright told me what he could/could not do (well, the guy who sits on the left (when you come off the escalator), the guy on the right seems more of a "salesman" who'll promise everything), which unfortunately includes getting another battery - he said it was hard to find and would not commit to being able to find another. He also scrunched his face up about finding a new screen for it, when I asked on behalf of a friend who broke his Z2 tablet screen when he took it rollerskating (yes, no kidding, rollerskating with a Z2 tablet on him).

There were initially difficulties charging the tablet with the new battery (perhaps because it was sitting around for so many years?), of the sort where it would go from 100% down to e.g. 70% fairly suddenly/quickly, but after I just left it plugged in overnight even though it said it was already at 100%, things seem to be working fine now (am getting basically the kind of battery life I had, from past experience). Will update further if any new issues crop up, but as of now I am counting this as a "problem solved".

UPDATE: sigh, battery doesn't work right after just a few weeks. random shutdowns at random %-age levels (run out of power at 70% battery, for example). Anyways I'm gonna give that eBay link a try, *fingers crossed*.
