Hi

Just to warn you, I tried to update my Nokia 3 with the last update AND I lost everything on my phone so don't install it.

:furieux:
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bubba1601:
What last update?

I installed the June security patch two weeks ago.

No problem and no loss of data.

I updated to android 8.0 Oreo from android 7.1.1 back in may, again no issues.

Oreo is much better than nougat in my own opinion.

Posts like this don't really help anyone because no one else has reported such an issue, with many even using third party VPN methods to get the update to 8.0.

I'm sure this is something else rather that a sinister update issue.

Take a look at all the other threads gor Nokia 3 and you will see what I mean.
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] redweaver:
I have been afraid to install the June update on my Nokia 3 since the last time I updated my rooted Nokia 5 had to flash OST and go through the whole process of updating and installing my apps again. Once I know have time to do any recovery, I will installl the OTA and fix whatever issues may come my way
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] >Taps<:
EDIT : Apparently it's because I had a sd card merged with the internal memory :s
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] bubba1601:
This method of update does wipe internal memory too.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Armand Bernard:
Hi,

I'd like to implement a camera shortcut other than the stock one with the volume rocker, as that is really awkward when trying to adjust volume.

On LineageOS and stock Samsung S7 software, you can set double press home to launch the camera. On most android phones you can use a double press of the power button.

Can either of these things be activated on the P20 Pro through and app or module?

I really miss that feature.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Deleted member 4503644:
A workaround would be using for example "Edge Gesture" . You can configure different gestures on the edges to open up the Camera App or any other App. For example whenever I hold the right display edge for 1s, it will open up the camera.

I would also be interested in a solution involving physical buttons. But at least you won't miss the shot so easily anymore.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] grappapapa:
Hi,

I'd like to have a shortcut on my homescreen to e.g. pro-mode and monochrome. Alas, when long-pressing the camera app symbol, it only gives me choices I don't want. Is there any way to get other camera modes as shortcuts apart from those?

greetings

Here is a gallery of what I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/a/dYAGmZh

Whenever leaves or foliage are in the shot the camera seems to freak out and paint everything over in this impressionistic style. These images are not zoomed in, it's just what the full size image looks like. I've never seen any other SP camera do anything like this. Even my 2013 Nexus 5 is perfectly able to show leaves. Almost any camera of the last 100 years is able to picture leaves. Can this "effect" be helped by turning down the sharpness settings?

They are all stock. Does your v30 image leaves like this?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No. And your can see actual V30 pics taken by users in this forum.

I thought you were asking why something was wrong with your own phone.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] koboltzz:
No... he is right, this is a 100% crop and will always look like this.

Solution, shoot in manual mode + save as RAW, use photoshop express to denoise and sharpening after that (all on your phone).

Result: stunning.

BTW: Samsung's postprocessing is nearly as bad as LGs. RAW is the only solution
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
Hmmm...i can't seem to sign in to any of the photoshop apps...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] prawnguevara:
It seems like some people say it happens while others on the thread say it doesn't? Seems clear to me, the images I took were from different reviews etc. Is it possible some are avoiding this issue?

Thanks for your tip, but is that practical in everyday use?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] koboltzz:
Well, since every big smartphone manufacturer is doing nearly the same terrible post processing (except google) it's not really an issue,.... it's metaphysical certainty this will never change.

Yes it is when you do the following: Shoot always RAW (means manual mode), set focus point to the center only (since this is what you are aiming at for taking the pic, the object in the middle, 95 of 100 times), use the jpeg which will also be saved next to RAW for whatsapp&co and not important photos, use RAW+photoshop express for holiday and other important pics.

Hi, i have an A2017G device with a 7.1.1 stock rom. (no TWRP, no ROOT, nothing!)

I am trying to unlock the bootloader in order to flash a custom rom but MiFLash doesn't detect my device while in EDL mode (adb reboot edl, 15 Seconds ADB installed).

In device manager it is named as QUSB-BULK.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Nicz14:
As far as I know you need Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 for MiFlash (not really sure though), but give this a try. Right click the QUSB-BULK>Update driver>Browse my comp...>Let me pick...> then pick Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008 if you see it and click next. Also have you tried installing drivers from MiFlash just incase?
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] darimos:
Solved:

It was an issue related with drivers/windows 10, i tried using windows 7, same steps, and while in edl mode it was named Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008, then it worked.

PS: installing drivers from MiFlash didn't solve the issue while in windows 10.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Monnq:
I currently own an iPhone X but I feel like iOS 11 is garbage in lots of aspects compared to it's predecessors and also notch is annoying when watching movies.. I've used to own Samsung S/Note phones but I am done with their laggy TouchWiz/Samsung Experience UI. That said, U12+ looks like a phone worth giving a shot. I like to take videos and photos with my phone so camera plays an important role. Is it good? Does it have any major overheating issues? Second thing - how does HTC deal with updates? Can I count on receiving security updates in 1-2 months or they don't really care much? The last thing is battery - I currently get to around 4,5h SoT with my iPhone, any chance HTC performs the same or better? I will be grateful for any responses before I spend my money :D
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
Let me try to answer some of your questions:

1. Camera: It has the best Camera right after the P20 Pro. So you should be all set here, and gain great results from it.

2. Overheating: It is on the release software 1.15.401.4 getting warmer, but not that hot, from time to time, due to some improvement on clocking of the CPU that are necessary. This has been dealt with and an update is currently starting to roll out and address such issues.

3. Updates: It has been an up and down during the last years to be honest. But HTC finally established so called QMRs (Quaterly Maintenance Releases) for the U12+ as well the U11. As I write the OTA is imminent to roll out to all variants now. The may jump an QMR if there are no security patches by Google that explicitly adress their very devices. To understand the often misguided discussion about that very topic you might make yourself familiar with the Google Security Bulletin, and what it tells you.

4. SoT: I always get 5 - 7h SoT with battery holding up for 24h. I'm quite pleased by those results imho.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] imaximuss:
Hi!

So I own iPhone X from about 2 months, and I owned iPhone from the first iPhone 2G! ... anyway I don't like anymore iOS , especially the iOS 11

Anyway:

1) HTC u12+ is a fast and fluid phone, I can say that is smoother than iPhone x

2) Photo and Video are better than iPhone x, the autofocus is fast, the colour are correct and the final image is amazing, in many ways better than pixel 2xl that it is a monster camera phone.

3) no major overheating issues.. somethimes under the sun at 35 Celsius can happen a little bit warm but not in a normal day

4) htc is fast to update to every new mayor release of android, until now the secure patch was slow but it seems that is changed now (read up)

5) battery is good but i think will be better with the new upcoming update (and better than iPhone x)

6) I can say only this.. the phone is very good: remember only that is a little bigger than iPhone x, and the screen is more accurate in color than iPhone x but is less brighter so if you work outside all the day maybe is not the best choice for you, if you work in a office or you don't stay all day under the sun is great :)

ciao !

Get iOS 12 betas a try?

It's been getting some serious good points for a beta compared to iOS 11.

Also if it managed to hold you off until September when it's finalized. The U12 will.be cheaper with HTC discounts or mint condition used phones on resale sites.

By then you'll have more information on the fall phone releases.

Well, my wife's U11 life get updates because of AndroidOne -today my U12+ 128GB arrived, very disappoited, also no Android One, 8.0 -at least Patchlevel 3/2018. Some Options appear in....don't know! Traditional Chinese? Version is .408., Language is set to German, Google keyboard is NOT adjustable to German. Not the best first impression! :|
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
You ever happened to check security with SnoopSnitch, as it would show that the U11 is still secure. And did you ever check the Google Security Bulletin, if there are updates affecting HTC, or if not. This update discussion is absolutely unnecessary, due to the fact that the Patch Level is only half of the truth and information. But nobody cares to take in all information needed. You neither guessing by you post.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
he talked about the major android updates and yes, HTC updates phones fast, when switching from let's say nougat to Oreo, or in the case soon from Oreo to P

also from where did you get the device? if it's from EMEA, then it's normal you might face issues with language, since you got a 128gb version, which is not available in Germany

I really feel a litte bit like an beta tester -normaly Android is spread in all languages, and (as I'm an IT guy) I kow that there are compairing tools -is somethig have an gap -you will noticed.

And I really like HTC -I buy it since 2002 -16 Years! At least2 device, for me and my wife, additional for work and employees -let's say roundabout 4 devices at 16 years -that will be 64 at a minimum -plus all I have to support from my family and fried which I have recommended to friend and customer. Round it up to 150, beginning from Typhoo, Feeler and the whole spectrum.

It makes a litle bit sad if you always try to buy Flagships and waiting for updates. :( My Samsung A5, a really low cost Device says in weeks, not moths, there are Updates. :|

And as I'm IT Professional -better then Antivirus and other just cobble things which are just follow vulnerabiles is to get a Patch for it. I have the problem that I get annoyed fram Ads -and I just have some Apps installen, no games, no bull**** -mostly buyed full versions. And "tap and hold" to see which process the Ad cause doe not work -they find a new way to cover it. :/

Patches really elp, in special he great december Update from Android AFAIR...

Is it really to much to expect to get more then one or two updates after paying 700+ Euro, and can read all menue?

I am trying to root this phone.

On the phone Settings in the developer options I have

Turned on OEM unlock

USB debugging is ON

I went with what I thought would have been the quickest and easiest option

And ran KingRoot on the PC. This failed me at 98%

I retried several times to no avail.

I then tried other quick root programs. None would root the phone.

I downloaded Odin3_v3.10.6_plus_CF_Auto_Root.

CF-Auto-Root-xcover4lte-xcover4ltexx-smg390f.tar.md5

I followed the instructions step by step and this failed to root my phone

I tried using all the ODIN PROGRAMS up to Odin3_v3.13.1.

All I have manage to do is wipe my phone and put it back to Factory default settings

3 times. I am sick of rebuilding my phone with all my apps and data.

Can anyone give me a step by step guide in how to root this phone successfully.

Thanks, in anticipation of some good advice.

Ok you need to have an Autovoice Profile in place to react to the Google Assistant message. In Google assistant (Short cut) Ask Autovoice to...... In Tasker, Create a profile with a AutoVoice Recognised Event listening for the short cut text, I've noticed in the past that it helps to use exactly the same case etc. This will then link to a Tasker 'Task' to actually perform what you want it to do.
