It just went on sale for only $19!

https://shop.essential.com/products/360-camera-sa

P.S. I just edited this post to show you Essential it's me that sent you the email, still asking if I can get the deal I just missed... :(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] srscott:
Thanks a ton! Got the 5$ case for it aswell.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DoR3M3:
With the phone sale, and now camera sale, I hope this doesn't mean the end of Essential...

Hmm
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] loumaros:
That's my thought exactly!

Looks like they're trying to get rid of the remaining stock.

:(
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Alaris:
Probably means nothing but my hope is that they are going to release new products. I don't see why they would enroll into the Android P beta program just to drop the phone a few months later.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] autosurgeon:
If you want to release a home device you need a customer base as big as you can get. This is one way to increase the numbers.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] antmunny:

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DoR3M3:
I was thinking this too, make a big sale wave in the phone market, grab attention, and build up more users...
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] rambleon84:

This is specifically about the 360 cam FB live function. But okay. Was just checking maybe someone else that got it from this deal has the same problem, or not.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Shyamani:
Now $49.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] DoR3M3:
Well it's to help you too, people are only going to check this out for the deal, so it's better for you to make a new post.

Yeah I see, that was a fast sale...

I managed to snag one of these literally minutes before the sale ended. Bought it, went back to the page 30 minutes later and it was back up to $49. Can't wait to get it, may need to get a different case though.

Yep, same here. Ordered it early on 7/19, still hasn't shipped. I emailed sales support and was told they got slammed so it would ship when it ships.

Update: Just got word that my order shipped today

Maybe it's this hot weather, but I can't get more than a 40 second 360° video without my phone rebooting and corrupting the video. I'm on stock rooted 8.1 latest build. It was way worse at first but the best I can get it to perform is just unacceptable. I may return it if in cooler conditions the problem persists.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] garywojdan81:
Just got mine today. After the immediate camera firmware update, so far so good, everything works.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] dmcgregor:
Got mine a couple of days ago...and this is my fault for jumping on this without really reading about what it is just because it was on sale... :o but have people figured out anything cool to do with the camera? I'm not really into taking selfies, and even when I held the camera way above my head it still managed to get my face in it. It was only $20, so not a big deal if not, but thought someone here might have figured out something interesting to use the camera for.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Elysian893:
Mine will be here tomorrow.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] lk7630:

Has anyone else tried the Blur background effect on Task Changer or Quickstar? Blur doesn't seem to work on my A3

me too, the blur background effect just remove the gradient effect when opening task manager. enabling it make my task manager looks better than not enabling it. cheers.

im just using :

-task changer

-quickstar

-lockstar

and i can confirm, those apps are very important for my phone.

I had badlock installed on my a5 2017 because goodlock wasn't available. But I came across this thread so I looked on the Galaxy app store and there it was. Weird, why wouldn't they have had it for these phones in the first place?

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] KingBeefy:
Hi,

Why can I not successfully flash a zip kernel such as Elemental X or the Rey kernel? The .img file from the Neutrino kernel via fastboot works great. But with zips I get stuck on boot animation regardless of how long it sits. I've flashed in twrp or sideloaded in both twrp or stock recovery. In most cases I'm rooted and on custom ROM, and i especially liked B2 Android P (but no fling navigation and it didn't want to allow root for some reason?) Here's my understanding of the way it goes. As I'm just a novice, please correct my understanding of any concept or feel free to share any extra tips. I feel confident in getting from BTS to rooted custom rom and .img kernel. So my problems are probably in the way it works flashing zips in twrp. My questions are:

Say I'm on partition A running AICP rooted with Magisk and I want to install the ElementalX kernel. So I reboot to boatloader, fastboot flash boot twrp , staying on the same partition (side A) (switch sides here?).... i generally dont. Here is where the confusion comes. I know TWRP will flash a rom to the oppsite partition, so if I flash under this current scenario where i booted into TWRP on side A it will flash a ROM to side B. Additionally:

Do I first need to flash the stock boot image here?

It seems yes and no people include this as a step. Assuming i should,

flashing an image file will stay on the same side, right?

So I have flashed the stock boot image and now am installing the kernel zip.

Do I flash the zip kernel to the same side (side A) it will be used on, or does it flash to the opposite side like a ROM will? Do all non-ROM zips flash in the same manner? If sideloading, does it have the same result as flashing within twrp?[/I]

To my knowledge I've never gotten past this and, "essentially" lol, have to use a kernel that is installed with fastboot, otherwise I get either bootlooped or stuck on the boot animation. I can get it booted by flashing a kernel via fastboot, but not a zip in twrp. thanks for the read. bonus question is below.

thanks

BONUS- it

KILLS

me not having a built in option on any ROM to reboot into the other partition to use twrp. Why is there not a mod for this? And i've seen with the Pixel phone and others they have gotten twrp to stick, but that involved using a

flashable zip

lol if feel ilike
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Sup guy:

A: sides won't switch, if you flash twrp on a, you will stay on A, just make sure you have disabled all locks, pins, swipes, and fingerprint s in room prior...which leads me to B

B: you must flash a stock boot.img (just ex doesn't help, due to system as root), then flash EX, then magisk, in that order, every time.

So.... Flash twrp-->get into twrp recovery-->FLASH STOCKBOOT.IMG VERY IMPORTANT-->flash custom kernel (this is obviously optional)--->magisk--->reboot
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Milly7:
Additionally, I recall having issues getting kernels to flash if I didn't swipe all modifications in twrp. I would have the same issues as the OP when I didn't.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
I promise the way above works
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] envizion58:
with roms that have built in updates, do i lose root and have to repeat this procedure every time a weekly update happens? the lack of a permanent twrp recovery is so inconvenient
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] aer0zer0:
Like LOS and whatever, yeah, but it takes like 2 minutes. Stock won't flash, since magisk is there anyways
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] KingBeefy:
Thanks! the instruction you gave worked splendidly. I'm only a few months into modding and there are things that become so clear when someone tells you something that answers multiple questions. Thanks in specific for the "whatever side you boot into twrp with is the side you will flash on" . The rebooting sides in twrp doesnt function like an actual reboot.. no one has said that. so , one question down.

staying on topic with twrp, why can someone not write a script or something to reboot to the other side. I've been attempting to install it permanently to that partition like other a/b devices but the hangup for that is they all start with booting twrp using fastboot boot .file instead of flashboot flash boot command. is there an alternative way ti biit without flashing as the ph-1 bootloader doesnt recognize that command? the rest seems easy. but needing to have a computer any time something goes awry is really an inconvenience and if a patch exists I havent found it. you opened the door for this question by giving me the Thomas Edison moment in the first answer. Can't wait for a repeat cuz I'm dying to know this answer. Thanks again bud
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] KingBeefy:
Hopefully I'm reading this correctly, but if you are referring to swiping as opposed to sideloading I've noticed that too. i do still sideload the ROMs but I swipe all mods and kernels. commonly I would get an error regarding /system not remounting after some flashes but that stopped a while back. [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] commented in a magisk thread to mount system before flashing as a fix. Its worked great.

Thanks for the response and if i read your question wrong fire it back at me for a second attempt lol

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
I've been looking at buying the phone since there's a sale going on Amazon for $249USD, but after reading a bit through the forum, seems like custom roms will have gapps preinstalled?

This would be a real deal breaker for me, as I'd like to go microG, Xposed FakeGapps, FakeStore, Fdroid route, Google Free, as much as possible...

But if gapps have to be presinstalled, anyone used Terminal Debloater and uninstalled gapps with it?

Hmm
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] foueddyf:
I dunno about using the rom without gapps, but CarbonRom doesn't come with gapps.

I use it with gapps and its pretty smooth, so I'm assuming it should be the same without it.

CarbonRom also has signature spoofing included.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
I was reading something on XDA over this, not sure now, sounded like because of some issues custom roms had to come with Gapps preinstalled for Essential.

But now you mentioning Carbon without, well, guess that throws that out the window, I hope... LOL

Every custom rom I've installed didn't have any Gapps installed, expect for just a few of the the basics, phone, messenger, calendar...

I never install Gapps, I use microG, Xposed, F-Droid here on my phones, I like to be as Google Free as possible.

Thanks
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] foueddyf:
A lot of the essential (mata) roms have gapps included because it's actually a pain to install it post-install because of the 2 partitions.

So many users get confused and end up flooding the Rom threads with the same questions on how to install gapps.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
I thought if they want the Gapps, then people would just pick and choose between the various OpenGapps and flash one in twrp?

hmm
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] beard805:
Typically, you would do that, but for whatever reason Essential Phone is a lot harder to install gapps on; apparently it's not as easy as flashing in TWRP, I'm not daring enough to mess up the rom install by installing it on my own :P

My guess is, the partitions really throw a wrench into the equation.

Thanks!
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] DoR3M3:
Is the A/B partitions, that have just come out, pretty much the same on all Android devices?

Because I see on some phones with A/B it seems to all be working easier then then Essential... hmm

Anyone?

The one Which some of the 1+6 users are facing (4G issues)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
Hey guys, new to all this so go easy on me. Over the past few years I have become a bit of a tech fanatic. I like to get a phone, use for a few months then sell on while it retains value. I'm March I got the S9 Plus coming from a Note 8 and from that coming from an S8 Plus. I love Samsung through heaven and earth but have become slightly bored with their design and UI. I have been strongly considering the Huawei P20 Pro and the OnePlus 6. Can I have your thoughts please? I have read/watch so many reviews on the P20 Pro and it's seems amazing the lag is the main issue as I do now want it. I don't game, I use a phone for emails, text, whatsapp, web browsing, Twitter, Instagram etc. ?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Get both.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
I dont need or want both lol. It's just the lag on the Huawei phones, it's really putting me off at the moment, the old Kirin970 processor too, coming from the Exynos 9810 will feel like a downgrade but then the camera on the P20 will feel like an upgrade. So difficult. The Huawei seems perfect, but the lag and stuttering is a huge dealbreaker for me but I want to know if its as bad as people make our as we all know EMUI isnt the most polished skin.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Then why are you posting in OP6 forums about how you don't like Huawei?

Makes no sense.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
It makes a lot of sense. I'm trying to get people's views on bith phones. I'm not saying I don't like Huawei either I have spoken seen a lot of people pull up the lag and unresponsiveness of the Huawei, yet I have just spoken to someone who is not a gamer who has had a P20 for 2 months now, uses his phone for what I use my phone for and has had no lag or stuttering what so ever. So im thinking will I even notice a difference coming from the Exynos 9810 to the Kirin970?

There are major cons woth both phones I'm just trying to get peace of mind with both so I can decide with a balanced view.

Thanks
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Brother, S9 is a superior phone to both. I understand that you are bored, and that you have disposable income to switch phones at will. Which is why my original suggestion stands - get both. And stop being a little ... nice person.

EDIT: As a side note, there's nothing prettier than the Silk White OP6. Consider that.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
I dont really care if the S9+ is more superior. I want a change and I only want one. I don't have disposable income. I sell to then replace, while the S9+ still has value over £500. I do love the one plus 6. But I want my worries addressed.

Battery: Smaller than S9+ - OP has dash charge so is it really a problem.

Speakers: Dual Speakers in S9+ - I mainly use Beats headphones.

Camera: S9+ a better all rounder - OP releasing camera update to make it a lot lot better

IP rating: S9+ IP68 water and dust - OP doesnt but does it really matter. (Although I have seen a few people with issues with dust in the camera.

Now I love the OnePlus 6 held it, feels good, it's an amazing change from the curved designs on Samsung I need a break from them. Then when you use it, the speed is absolutely unbelievable!!

These are my worries I just want peace of mind.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] nabbed:
Battery life is really good. Less than 1% for 4 minutes of screen time with autobrightness on.

Screen off drain is inferior with my unit compared to Samsung phones, but I have a bad cellular signal (not with Samsung previously, new carrier with this phone) - therefore more power used by the radio, more drain. About 1% per 2 hours.

Speakers are weak. Not bad, but not great either. Piece of advice, get rid of overpriced junk that is Beats and get real audiophile headphones for the same price and 10 times better sound quality.

Camera is good, but not S9 good. Watch out though, so many reports of bad camera that I think it may be the weakest link in this phone - defective cameras are abound.

The phone is mostly water proof, according to JerryRigEverything YT channel, but it didn't pass the IP67 test, so it's vulnerable to submersions. Splashes, rain, occasional dunk should be just fine.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:

I have an S9+ that I gave to someone else in my family as I did not like it. The camera is great but I take very few pictures. For me, I want a rootable device. I also want as close to pure Android as you can get. I had a P10 and sold it within a month. The Huawei OS is horrid. It's like they thought they were making an iPhone.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] BBCLukeBetts:
I do love the OnePlus 6 but I take photos, not thousands but enough to merit wanting a decent camera! I love my S9+ but unfortunately my battery has got worse and worse since I got it in march, and like I said in my first post, since last year I have had the S8+ then the Note8 now the S9+ and it's been basically the same design, and im just so bored of it. Funny you mention the P10, when I got the S8+ last year I keep being pushed by Vodafone to get the P10 but I hated itamd wouldnt get it, the new P20 and the new EMUI is amazing and has changed so much since the P10!!
