Yeah the fingerprint doesn't work after startup because Huawei wants you to remember your pin... But fortunately I could try endless possibilities with the pincode (only sometimes I needed to wait a few hours). But in the end I got the pincode correct, so I can use my phone again :)

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sahiltaneja29:
Guys i am coming from Nexus 5 and pretty much used to google feed as my daily news driver. However, i do not seem to find a way to get it show up on my app vault (left drawer). I understand i can open Google app and see my feed but was wondering if there is a way to have it on left swipe like its available on stock android?

Also, anyone able to install and use RootlessPixel launcher on their Poco F1? I tried but could not get the intended UI as shown in youtube videos for other phones.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KyleLee088:
Hi all,

I just got my Note9 not more than a month ago and I'm hearing a loud rattling noise from the rear cameras when I shake the phone slightly. I know that cameras with OIS does this, but even with the camera app open, the rattle remains, just a tad bit quieter.

I've also noticed that the cameras seems to move quite violently internally when switching from Auto to Live Focus mode and vice versa.

What could be the reason for this issue?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 0alfred0:
There is no issue, that is normal. I notice the same with my mate 10 pro. Your phone is fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Shake it with the S-Pen removed .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] holywhitebread:
My phone makes a very loud rattle noise near the cameras when I shake it. Starting last night, when I use Live Focus or the 2x zoom, I get a really loud buzzing and vibrating coming from the top ear piece and the camera will not focus (pictures look absolutely terrible). I called Samsung last night and they used Samsung Tutor to mirror my screen and I wish I could have recorded the girl's reaction when seeing the photo quality. Unfortunately, I have to send it back to Samsung for repair. Sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
You explained your problem in such a way that you literally answered your first question.

You shake the phone and you hear a rattle. You equated that to the mechanism that allows OIS.

You open the camera app and you still hear it only quieter. Well that's because the mechanism is now being controlled by the camera app so it's trying to keep it stable and centered.

The camera module is pretty small so the force of shaking the phone is bound to make it make some noise.

When you switch modes the aperture is closing opening and moving on it's axis slightly. So it makes some noise if you are listening but it's hard to gauge your definition of "violently" when it's so small and we can't see your device.

Everything sounds normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Would be interesting to know if a shock or drop can cause damage to the camera mechanism more now on this note than the previous models.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
It's a moving part so it's very possible. Or it just fails with age.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Yep, that's what I was thinking, mechanical parts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KyleLee088:
When removing the S Pen, the rattling noise changes slightly but doesn't decrease.

Huh, from my past experience with phones with OIS, the rattle would always completely go away when the camera app is launched.

I'll try to get some video of the cameras moving around when switching from Auto to Live Focus and vice versa

---Update---

https://streamable.com/jrdtl
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Not sure how you did that video, but it looked cool. Looked like an eye was there. Lol

Joking aside., Removed my S-Pen and shaked my phone , I could here a slight rattle, then with the S-Pen still removed I launched the camera app, and there was no rattling at all. So maybe yours is loose? Or maybe it's within tolerance levels. Hard to say without looking at the technical manual for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
That does seem a little loud
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] stondec100:
That's the image stabilizer module. It's supposed to move. If you lunch the camera and shake the phone again you'll notice you don't hear the sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KyleLee088:
The sound persists even when the camera app is open
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] holywhitebread:
I sent mine off to Samsung and should have it back this week. They didn’t really ask any questions or seem very concerned, but I rarely get anyone that can speak or understand English. Their lack of concern and customer service throughout this issue has been very disappointing.

Curious, do you live in the US and did you consider using UBreakIFix in stead of mailing it off?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] holywhitebread:
I do. The closest one is almost two hours away and they wouldn’t order the part until I came in, so I would have the stay the night/weekend out of town to use that option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] pcriz:
I was afraid you would say that. Yeah I'm about an hour and a half away from one and I was curious what they would do if a repair required a part they didn't carry.

That's super in convenient they wouldn't keep a camera module though. Especially with it being a moving part
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] holywhitebread:
Yeah, super inconvenient. The guy had an attitude and I didn’t really want to give him business anyway.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iamkani:
Why is there a rattling noise when I shake the device?Click to Collapse

Your device is not faulty – the sound is due the Camera Lens Barrel required to operate the Auto Focus function.

Your Galaxy Note9 supports a dual-lens camera and it consists of a 12MP main camera with a wide angle of view and a 12MP telephoto camera. Both cameras also support the Auto Focus feature. The Auto Focus feature adjusts focus by moving the Lens Units up and down over the Image Sensor. This enables Auto Focus speed and accuracy and helps in reducing battery usage.

The camera module is fitted with a “Stopper” part to limit lens unit movement within the space for the camera module. When the Lens and Stopper touch, when shaking the Galaxy Note9, a rattling noise may occur – however this is normal due to the operation of the Auto Focus feature of camera. The sound made may differ slightly by device types and model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
The bigest mistake that Samsung have made. And which is going to cost them really in the years to come. Is that they have outsourced their customer support and service.

They could be number 1 if they sorted out their service network. On facebook for India their average rating is 1.6 out of 5.

Customers with brand new phones are being told Samsung cant source parts for their phones and they are being offered Samsung Coupons instead.

There is no fixed rate for out of warranty repairs with each city charging what they want.

These phones are nothing more than eye candy glass eggs. Very easy to develop issues.

You can get a replacement OE Note 9 camera for like 9$ on aliexpress. Mays you wonder what the quality is and how long they will last. My camera also rattles and the clarity / focus seems to be degrading its under 2 years old.

First of all, Thanks a lot! and It works well S8 exynos.

I have a question. Why is hdr+ after processing faster on s7 than on s8?

I have both s7 and s8 exy versions, and s7 is always faster with hdr+ processing, even with the same build and same settings.

I tested almost every version of Gcams (which you made :) thanks! ), and in my s8 case, "Mod8.3b_IDan_v3.2.9_Exy" was the fastest version. And even in that version, s8 took longer to process hdr+ than s7.

Why is this happening? Is the processor on s8 faster and powerful than on s7? Does s9 also take 6~8 seconds to hdr+ after processing? I hope hdr+ processing will be faster like other snapdragon devices :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] pokenguyen:
Set HDR in settings to Low
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] smbslt3:
Thank you. Processing speed slightly increased.

But It still slower.

The best setting I have found is

HDR+ parameters: low

config.HDR+ camera: Pixel 2017 ZSL

HDR+ Exposure: Slow shutter x2

HDR setting: HDR+ enhanced

The Pixel 2017 ZSL setting allows the camera to take two shots at a time(the second shot does not need to wait for HDR+ processing end). However, HDR+ after processing speed is the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] pokenguyen:
How about HDR+ On instead of Enhanced?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] smbslt3:
HDR+ ON does not increase the quality of images

No processing, just captures. Like HDR ON of galaxy stock camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] IDan1109:
This has been discussed a lot on s8 forum. Stop spamming here non s9 related problems
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] pokenguyen:
You're wrong, HDR+ applies HDR processing in background. You can compare a Non HDR and a HDR+ On.

I use both HDR+ On on my S9 and Pixel 2 XL.

Does this work on Snapdragon versions? I followed the directions to the T, but I seem to be having a few issues. Portrait mode freezes on both front and back cameras, and refreshes the viewfinder every 3 seconds instead of a live preview.

Did you ever message Samsung about the front camera not supporting RAW? Did you try fiddling around with the Pie builds, maybe they have RAW support? I would love to try HDR+ from the GCam on the Front camera, but rooting on a device like the S9+ is just something I'd love to avoid. I remember it was a struggle to root and flash ROMs on the S3.

My question which gcam version work stable on non rooted S9 exynos? Im install 4.0, 3.5, 3.3 and i open app, change any settings, after only black screen rear cam. Im trying long time apk's, and work Idan 2.2 version.

This is normal? Other version not work?

I really want front portrait mode, unfortunately in 2.2 not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Themes, Apps, and Mods] kptsalami:
Hello, I'm on a Note 9 Exynos non rooted but this should work for you since it's using the same CPU.

It has been recommended that every time you try out a new version of GCam you always:

1. clear all data from your current GCam (settings, apps, GCam, delete all data)

2. clear the memory through Device Maintenance (settings, Device Maintenance, memory, clean now)

3. Uninstall current GCam

4. Install new version.

Follow these steps and install 3.5, its pretty stable on my device.
