[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Well if it's really what you say it is, then yes that's impressive that a custom Gcam app (Could you link it? ) can make the Redmi Note 5 take really great looking pics.

So first I got a couple questions and observations I noticed.

- So were all these pics taken with custom Gcam app on Redmi and latest stock default Pie camera with Night Sight on the Pixel 2 XL?

- All pics taken with the same HDR+ setting? Was it off, +, or on?

- Weird the Redmi shows up as a 1.9 aperture when everywhere lists it as 2.2.

- It appears that the custom Gcam app takes pics at a lower ISO than the Pixel 2 indoors in all but the ceramic tomato. The pic of the bottles, the Pixel 2 has an ISO of 264 vs 100 on the Redmi. Small difference yet the Pixel is noticably grainier. However, the ceramic tomato pic has an ISO 508 on the Pixel and and 1293 on the Redmi, yet there's pretty much no grain on the Redmi with that big a difference.

I still remain hesitant to believe these shots because of my last two points.

I'm using Arnova Gcam 8.3.b1 on the redmi and stock on the pixel

On the redmi I'm using the setting called always use minimum iso if possible. That's why the iso is always lower. The setting does not exist on the pixel stock cam... That's sad

The redmi global use 1.9 aperture, the Indian version use 2.2

For HDR I'm using full auto on pixel and Redmi. I think they're both HDR enhanced?

I did not use nightsight. The result is more too soft and lack any details. Anyway, the pixel did not recommended me to switch to night mode.

When using the same custom Gcam on the pixel, the result is better than the redmi, so yes, the optic is clearly superior on the pixel.

I'm now using both cam. When i want a quick picture i use stock and when it want the best quality on a complicated shot, i use custom. I'm still keeping the pixel finally and selling the redmi! I'm starting to love the phone!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Ah I looked the global up and it is a different sensor:

Samsung*S5K2L7*12*MP*(f/1.9, 1.4 μm)

That is better specs and closer to the Pixel's so I can see how it can be comparable. I wouldn't say superior. Warmer and colder pics can be personal preference and still haven't seen actual night shots.

I can tell night shot wasn't used. Was just making sure it was the lastest version that had night sight.

Where is this custom Gcam link? I'd like to try it out.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] von_block:
The red apple shot was weird on the pixel. It looked so blurry. I had to take it a couple of time to make sure it wasn't me shaking or something, yet the redmi nailed it on the first shot.

Here

https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/#apk411

There's hundreds of different Gcam. I'm still not sure which one is the best on the pixel.

There's a lot of tweak and it take a long time to master. You need to experiment. Default the result are not THAT great.

I have two Cams on the redmi one setted for low light shot and one for normal condition.

Low iso setting don't work well in low light, i recommend using auto.

There's also custom noise reduction and profile. I found the best setting for the redmi, but still experiencing on the pixel.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Cool. I haven't looked into custom apps in a while. Downloaded the Pixel 3 cam mod. A little jittery in the preview but love the extra options. Will definitely subscribe to the developers XDA thread.

Update:

Portrait mode seems to be broken though which I use a lot. Will still look into other versions.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] von_block:
Yes,

Some Gcam will crash depending on setting and version of Gcam.

Also for most Gcam, when changing the advanced setting, you need to force close the app to make the change take effect

Yut?

Are your trying to prove something here, I'm not sure I'm following?

I could take the same shot with both phone. I tried to make more complex shot with highlight and shadow in combination.

Color Temperature can change depending on many factors. I'll be honest the redmi is often a bit colder in tricky lighting like rainy day or when the sky is grey, but it take 3 seconds to fix.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] Ksehwail:
Very strange, I downloaded the camera app from the link provided (Pixel3) and compared to my stock camera pics are coming out with a yellow tint
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] von_block:
I'm not getting that result. They're almost similar for me.

What setting are you using?

Look at the shot.

Those shots are interesting. The Stock Pixel use a high iso of 264 where the custom use 50 iso.

The result is less noise in the custom gcam. I'm sure Google could tweak the Stock Gcam even more.....

In my effort to remove China from my AL00, I must have removed the software update (NOT just shut off automatic updates in Developers Menu).

Any idea which of the apps that can be removed may cause this?
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mudnightoil:
Reinstall the Huawei Care APK. You can install updates through that. In fact they usually turn up more quickly on Chinese devices, that way, than System.

Can just uninstall it again afterwards, then reinstall when you next need an update.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
Thank you. I try to run the latest HiCare apk from apkmissor and it says it can't install because a newer version is already installed.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mudnightoil:
That means it's not uninstalled fully. Uninstall it using ADB. Then reinstall.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
Hate to ask, but can you identify the apk to remove, because it does not have a Huawei System Update 8.1.11.309 (arm64-v8a + arm-v7a) (Android 8.1+) or an com.huawei.android.hwouc since it was removed or anything resembling that to remove.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] mudnightoil:
There should be a HiCare one. Forget what its file name is.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] AngelDeath:
Download this from the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bg.projectoria.appinspector&hl=en

It will help identify the apps and their apk names.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Guides, News, & Discussion] Rudolpht:
Thank you. Very helpful.

The"icon" that matches HiCare is called HwUE and the apk is com.huawei.bd

Odd but what bad can happen removing :o if I'm ready to nuke and pave to initial state.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] djcrystals:
One of the main reasons I wanted a Pixel was to gain access to beta testing Android software. I've always enjoyed beta testing, no matter what the subject. I've been a tester for Windows 10, Roku software, a few Linux distros and a lot of the apps I use currently on my phone.

I had purchased this phone at the beginning of this year, just in time to install Android P, DP. I was honestly amazed on how well it ran. Now, I'm looking forward to Android Q and what that brings to the table.

I honestly haven't read too much as far as what's coming in Android Q. I was looking to maybe start a conversation here in anticipation of the beta approaching.

[OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers] anz563:
Recently i'm noticed a problem: very often two BIG cores are stucking at 1056 without any reason and it not depends of battery level. After cores are stuck, the UI ( Interface ) becomes very slow and laggy, phone also heats more than when core are not stucked and working properly. This problem was earlier and comes to me after Oxygen 5.0. I have did three factory resets since then ( after updating to 5.0.0 ) and nothing changed. This problem is really annoying and don't let to use phone normally. I also noticed that after updating the system, the phone works fine for a while, but then the lags start again. It's very sad that OnePlus can't make their Kernel working normally.. Is there any chance to fix this problem with core stucking at 1056 mhz? I dint want to use custom kernel, i want to use stock oxygen kernel and fix this problem, if this possible..

I also made a bug report on 1+ forum, check it please: https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/big-cores-stucking-at-1056-mhz.955115/

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] keval4504:
Hi,

A month ago, first time screen of my S8 plus (15 months old) went black, i can see the phone is working fine apart from screen, tried force restart, every button combinations available on other forums, nothing worked. After like 10, hours screen went on by itself. It lasted a week and screen went off again. Again same thing, it went back on by it self after few hours. I though it might be the corrupt software, so i flashed the factory rom. But no luck. This cycle kept going on for a month.

Now since last week, screen went dead, not turning back on. I can connect the phone to screen via smart view (Bixby voice helps there surprisingly), and see everything else works fine.

Phone is out of warranty, so i cannt just go to samsung and get a replacement.

Does anyone have any idea, what is going on, and if they have face any similar issue and what to do with it.

Also, one weird thing. I dont know if its related to the issue but I noticed every time after i factory reset or flashed stock rom, some random files start downloading itself via download manager and every time i tap to look for the name or info, it just disappears, tried to find it among apps and file, nothing can be found.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] y5krahul:
Hi,

Is anti-rollback enabled on redmi note 6 pro?

Can I safely downgrade to MIUI 9 from MI UI 10 without any root or flashing process.

Applications provided by my company do not work on rooted phones and customer roms like lineage os and hence I am desperately looking to downgrade to MI UI 9.

In MI UI 10, I am unable to set separate notification ringtones for each app which is difficult for me.

For example in GMail app, under Setting -> Click on account (xxx@gmail.com) -> > Manage Notifications, the notification sounds can only be enabled or disable, but the notification tone cannot be changed.

The GMail app notifies with the default notification sound set in MIUI->settings->Sound and vinration->Default notification sound

Hence, I want to downgrade to MI UI 9 as I do not know if this will ever get resolved in MIUI 10 :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro Questions & Answers] y5krahul:
I called up xiaomi customer care here in India and found out the device is anti rollback enabled, so the device cannot be downgraded to MIUI 9 from MIUI 10.

The downgrade to MIUI 9 can be done by visiting the Xiaomi service center and it will cost Rs. 150 plus taxes to get the downgrade done.

Workaround that kinda works....

Hi Guys,

I'm not a Rom Chef nor a Dev guy.

However, I've been struggling with the same problem. My way to work around it was to to add my Danish words into the 'autocorrect' file on your device and "teaching" the customer dictionary the words for it.

E.g by typing FAAR, autocorrect with fix it to FÅR, KAERE to KÆRE and KOERE to KØRE. Spelling of the old days, but it works :D

A number of steps to do to get there the first time, so I suggest you search the forum for the thread that explains best to you how to amend the autocorrect file.

As I said, not the ideal solution, but it works for me until a better alternative is available.

My two cents worth.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Marvolo1590:
Hi community,

My current phone is slowly dying, so I have been researching actual 2018 phones. Since I like the idea of using dual-sim-cards (private & business), a lot of phones out there had to go by the board and only a few remained. I have always been a HTC fanboy, but I'm open for new things, so the P20 Pro and the Mate 20 Pro have caught my eye.

After reading through countless comparison reviews and articles, I understood that the Mate 20 Pro was the slightly better of the two and I really was all stoked to buy it when suddenly I stumbled across that display 'Gluegate' problem that has befallen most phones that are currently circulating on the market.

Since I really do not like the idea of paying 1000€ only to get a phone that I can sign up for repair immediately after, I've become hesitant about buying it now. The more I keep reading on here or similar blogs, the longer the list of negative aspects about the Mate 20 Pro seems to get.

I could look at a demo in a local store nearby and while it is really big compared to my actual HTC M9, that's something I could probably get used to. However, I found that notch super annoying. You may be able to disable it in the settings, but that still doesn't give you more space for icons in the tray. It seems as if only 3 or 4 icons fit in the tray above because that stupid notch is physically blocking the space. Will I still receive notifications from apps whose icon won't fit in the tray because it's full due to the notch?

In terms of camera quality: is the Mate 20 Pro significantly better/suprerior to the P20 Pro? I could get the P20 Pro for nearly hafl the price now and at the moment I'm totally not sure if I'm ready to pay 1000 bucks for the Mate 20 Pro with a faulty display, a way too small tray bar and with people complaining about pre-developed UI like EMUI and supposedly mediocre camera quality...

Can anyone relate to this? If you were me and about to get a new phone, would you get the Mate 20 Pro?

[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dlads:
I have the p20pro.

Great phone as I'm sure the mate is too. Both crippled by the worst possible development and bootloader lock down I've ever seen.

Anyone who knew about the p20pro shambles who goes ahead and buys a mate pro should expect a locked down system and no development at all.

Bare in mind that the p20pro barely had a functional twrp and little to no sign of pie recovery or root method in sight, meaning stick with Oreo and have root or have pie and nothing, if you have the mate then you are out of luck.

Nor a good time for Android / modding at all..

Avoid both and buy the McLaren 6T.

Had the same dilemma a few weeks back. Mate 20 Pro or P20 Pro to replace my previous Mate 10. Ended up with the Mate 20 Pro and trust me when I tell you that the Mate 20 Pro's Kirin 980 is so much faster than the P20 Pro's Kirin 970 which is the same SOC of the Mate 10. Mate 20 Pro is a true beast and camera is outstanding while battery life is great even better than the Mate 10.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] darklajid:
Get a P20P. I owned both, "upgraded" to the Mate when it came out in Singapore. I regret that decision. The Mate is a nice piece of hardware, but I ultimately feel it wasn't worth the price and a downgrade from the P20P.

Why P20P?

Camera. The Mate one is SLOOOOW and often doesn't even take a picture when I press the button - I assume it's stuck in some autofocus or what. Snapshots are a pain in the ass.

Unlock: Both the in-display fingerprint sensor and the face unlock on the Mate are not perfect, which means that you're inevitably have to retry sometimes. That gets old fast. Plus, if you're using apps that can be unlocked with a fingerprint (say, email clients, banking apps) then you're in for a bad time..

Notch: Basically... forget about seeing any notification, ever. You won't. The tiny usable part of the status bar is filled with icons you can't remove.

What does the Mate have to offer? "Newer"? Battery? Gimmicks like 'reverse wireless charging'? It arguably looks nicer. That's .. about it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ccl2003:
Not for me. Came from the Mate 10 then to the Mate 20 Pro and cam is faster to focus and load with the Mate 20 Pro. Mate 10 and P20 Pro uses the same ISP from the same SOC.

Face unlock for me is great and faster than the face unlock feature of the Mate 10 which uses the same tech as the P20 Pro. I can unlock the phone using 3D Face Unlock even at low light something which I can barely do on the Mate 10 at dim lighting conditions.

So does every Android phone with the notch so no big deal for me.

Kirin 980 on the Mate 20 Pro is no joke coming from the Kirin 970 of the Mate 10. Everything else is faster, smoother and its like you can do any task a lot faster than on any Android smartphone as of this time.
