[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romakulus:
Hello, I have a question about taking pictures on the Samsung Galaxy S9. I'm having trouble with is capturing the color of my children's' eyes. I'm not great with a camera, but have tried turning off the HDR and changing some of the other settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

My old phone shows more of the true color of my daughter's eyes, which are a light blue-grey. My new phone (S9) with the HDR off and in "Auto" mode can't really differentiate her pupil from her iris (same problem with HDR on). I changed the white balance to get the color of her eyes to look more like what they really are, but everything else gets washed out. In another picture with the new phone, even though her right eye is more well-lit, it is very hard to distinguish the pupil from the iris. The left eye still isn't great, but is showing the color a little better. Since I'm a new member, the website won't let me link to the pictures.

I just upgraded to the S9 because my old budget phone wasn't taking good pictures in low light and now that my wife and I have kids, I figured I'd want some higher-quality pictures. Other than this issue, I'm impressed with the camera.

Thanks in advance for your help and have a good day.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mikedoth:
The subject tells all, I'm buying a Note 9 on T-Mobile but want to know if it's compatible with Verizon/Sprint networks. Mainly does it cover enough of the frequencies to make it useful? And, I do realize this is only possible once the phone is unlocked.

Thanks in advance.

To expand on this, the samsung online chat guy said this but I don't know enough about the carriers and was hoping you guys might...

"The note 9 T-mobile phone supports 3G UMTS(WCDMA) : B1(2100),B2(1900),B4(AWS),B5(850) these CDMA frequencies

It is called 'NILLKIN for xiaomi mi 8 case Vintage PU Leather flip cover Smart wake up function Wallet Card Slot for xiaomi mi8 case 6.21 inch' and I would recommend you to order it from 'NILLKIN official store' on Aliexpress.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaos-Industries:
Hey there,

I initially posted this over at android.stackexchange but predictably it got shut down, so here I am, at the source of the Matrix itself. ;)

After a long time in the waiting, I finally have an excuse to upgrade from an iPhone (5s) to an Android. As a tech enthusiast and general superuser, the freedom to do what I want as far as customisability and general tinkering with the software, as well as basic usability like being able to play YouTube while using other apps, is almost entirely the reason I've gone off iPhones and am looking for an Android. I'm bored of playing in the garden and it's time to climb the wall.

However, I'm also on a very low income, which means I'm very limited by budget (less than £200, let's say, although the lower the better), and as someone who knows very little about the Android mobile market, I'm wondering how realistic it will be for me to satisfy both criteria in a single phone.

Are most phones in this price range just as software-moddable as flagships, or are they not? I'm especially looking for phones that satisfy the criteria here [search for "The Best Phones for Rooting & Modding" on android.gadgethacks] but that article tends to recommend phones way out of my budget, and my research so far has given me an overwhelming amount of options. For example, I've read that the first-generation Pixel is the greatest phone to own for modding freedom, but I've also read that I should avoid phones after Android 5.1 that aren't running an MTK CPU.

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this through properly and can answer all of my questions, the more I research the more I end up paralysed by choice, and it would be a relief to finally get answers to the many questions that have come up in the process.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adityam0338:
As a matter of fact, they are. It does not matter if a phone is a flagship or a budget device, if it has caught the eye of developers. If a budget phone is fairly popiular, devs start building roms and other mods for the phone. As a matter of fact I'm presently using a phone under 100$ but it has a lot of cusroms built for it. There are lots of other mods like custom kernel, custom recoveries (other than TWRP) and so on. Fell free to choose any phone that ur budget allows, just make sure to search for that phone here and see if it has its own forum and whether the devs are currently working on the phone. U can simply confirm it by checking if the forums are active and whether there are mods for the phone. Hope u buy urself a good device.

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

Where on earth did u hear that?? You should always go for Snapdragon after android 5.1. You should try xiaomi phones if possible but there is a major flaw in that. The bootloader is locked and if for some reason ur unable to unlock it, u wont be able to do anything. One more thing don't go after Samsung phones in that price range cause the devs are not interested in them as they are not very popular. Besides Exynos processor messes already messed up things for samsung devices. I would once again remind u to search the device, that u decide on buying, in the forums. Only go for it, if it has got roms and other mods.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaos-Industries:
Ah fair enough, that's interesting. Can I ask which phone you're using for under $100?

---------- Post added at 03:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 AM ----------

So the information about Android 5.1 being the superior way to mod is true? And yeah, if one thing was clear I wasn't going to go for Samsung, too much manufacturer obstacles and bloatware for my liking.

Boost Galaxy J3 Emerge under 100 dollars..... Unlockable bootloader with oem unlock in developer options.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adityam0338:
Well I'm using Xiaomi Redmi 5A and am facing the same problem I mentioned. I am stuck at bootloader unlocking. However the error I'm getting is a peculiar one and most people have successfully unlocked it. Its a good phone with tons of cusroms and custom kernels. It has more than 10 Pie roms. However as per ur budget i think u should try to go a bit higher than this cause the processor is quad core which is ok but not great.

As per the modding, lollipop does have lead in some places but at present it doesn't matter. Most mods(popular ones like substratum) at present are incomoatible with lollipop.

That being said, do mention the phone u r going to buy. Xiaomi phones are a good choice as most of them have lots of devs working on em. But the only issue is with bootloader unlock. If u willing to take that risk, then go for Xiaomi phones(pls do a small google search on unlocking bootloaders of xiaomi phones if possible)

Cheers!

2 days ago when charging my phone, my phone gave me a Battery Temperature warning and stopped charging the phone. I checked the Phone for overheating but it was cold not hot, I even used a temperature gun to check. I assumed It was just acting weird but eventually in the middle of the night when I went off to sleep It drained to zero. The next morning I plug it in assuming that it works now and no response from the phone, No vibrations, back light flicker, and no notification light. I tried entering Recovery, Nothing. I tried safe mode boot, Nothing. But ODIN/Download mode would work if only connected to usb. I tried flashing the latest firmware on the phone. It flashed successfully but didn't reboot. I tried flashing custom firmware but was blocked by FRP lock. Right now the phone is a paperweight and lifeless. Everything was backed up on Dec 8th online luckily, but I don't have the money for a new phone. Any help or tips?
