[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viva La Android R.I.P.:
I have the Boost Mobile 3310a and it does not appear that the bootloader is supported for OEM unlocking via the typical methods (i.e. fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flashing unlock, etc.). If the bootloader would unlock, root would be as simple as flashing a patched boot image (systemless root). Has anybody had any luck on their bootloaders?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
Let me start by saying that I am not attacking his character or calling him clueless in general, but he is obviously amateur to when it comes to using Huawei's phones.

I always thought the results he gets from his P30 Pro are way off when compared to the results other reviewers get from their phones, or from the ones I get from my P30 Pro. They're always overly saturated with tons of contrast. And I never understood the reason until I watched his OP 7 Pro vs S10+ vs P30 Pro camera comparison. And as someone who had the S10+ before this phone, and with my wife still owning her S10+, I know that 8/10 times, the S10 will give you the more saturated picture, which isn't the case with Mrwhosetheboss. Then I finally found out why is this the case with his phone, as it turned out that he is using the Smooth Colors option because he thinks, and I believe based on the name of the mode, it generates less saturation while using this mode. He mentioned this twice in his review, so it's obvious he uses this mode all the time, thus why the P30 Pro in this test lost miserably to the S10 and OP 7 Pro, as the P30 Pro pictures were coming out extremely cartoonish with crushed details in the shadows as if you're using a vignette filter all over your pictures.

I believe that while Huawei are taking these so called professional reviewers on cruise trips all over Europe, they also should educate them on how to use their phones so that they won't spread misinformation to the masses without them realizing that they're doing that.

I apologize for the longass rant, and for my average English.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dule2303:
Finally someone will write something about this person. His tests are absolutely incorrect, I blocked him and I no longer look at his reviews
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] tibcsi0407:
Maybe he got some extra money to judge like that..
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] trapcoder:
All these paid reviews are actually not worth watching. Find those smaller youtubers who buy the device for themselves and test it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jacobtf:
It's a double edged sword. People who purchase a certain phone (usually because they are interested in it) can also often be huge fanboys of a brand/product, saying crap to validate their purchase, ie. "this $800 phone I just purchased is great, otherwise I'd look like a total idiot!"

That and the fact that they usually don't have the option to compare with so many phones since they have to pay for them.

But there are youtubers where you can easily spot the fact that it's a paid review in some way. Money weighs more than integrity for most people.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dule2303:
Of course
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
The best thing to do before buying any phone, is watch few reviews from the YouTubers you trust, then head to reddit and XDA to read more from those who bought the device and actually used it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] papavales:
He always gives positive critics on new products and then after some months stop support his opinion because he don't paid any more. Remember this, when mate 30 pro will launch he would say how incredible camera it has(even if it will have same camera as p30 pro)
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
The thing with the P30 Pro is that he obviously had been using this mode since day one, but until yesterday we knew why his pictures and videos were looking like crap.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] trapcoder:
I doubt he even updated his firmware. Most reviewers didn't hence why their videos are extra reddish.

Ultimately i guess, waiting a month or two for real reviews on xda or reddit would be the best.

But hye, most of us can't wait , get it on day 1 and regret about it later :laugh: Im quite happy with my p30 pro since updates are quite frequent and most of the color corrections are fixed.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
I agree. The S10+ was the first flagship phone I have ever sold less than one month after owning it, and that was because I knew no matter what Samsung does, their lowlight photography won't improve drastically with software updates.

The P30 Pro was also a bit frustrating when I first got it, but from my experience with the P20 Pro, I knew Huawei was going to address the issues and more, and I am extremely satisfied with all the improvements Huawei has brought with their updates.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] letmeknov:
Would be fair if you rename or make any corrections to your own thread about TOF sensor. With latest updates it does work and hopefully is going to be improved in the future.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Maher.k22:
While I love my P30 Pro, I'm not going to be biased towards Huawei and give them a pass on something that is obviously not working, or at least not doing anything they promised us it will.

As you can read from the responses on that thread, the vast majority of those who tested my experiment of covering the tof sensor, are still reporting that either way, they came with the same results whether it's the camera app or the AR Measure app.

I'm on .153, and I tested everything, from portrait shots to aperture mode, to night shots, and also low light scenarios, and still, there is ZERO difference between the pictures I get when the tof is covered or uncovered.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] technotika:
Try covering it when using thining /re shaping during video?
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Magnus3D:
I think this goes for a lot of those 'celebrity reviewers' on Youtube, most of them are clueless and to be honest quite stupid. They simply review the unit to make money, if what they say and do is wrong seems to be of no importance. Personally i never watch those videos anymore, they have become more of a joke than something to take seriously.

/ Magnus
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] kyero985:
The P30 Pro's camera capabilities have come a long way if you factor in the improvements from .153 (and now .162 supposedly).

If some of these YT can ensure they're running the latest available firmware, it'll definitely help paint a clearer and more accurate picture but I understand this isn't always possible because of the timings of the video.

Coming from .124, I definitely noticed an improvement but not convinced if all these reviewers are also on it.
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eddmecha:
yes he is..you can see his latest review for op7p vs n10p vs p30p. seems obvious he is doing for the sake of money instead of real passion
[Huawei P30 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] ZayaanAhyaan:
My P30 pro has almost the same issue. Brown skin tones are applied to a heavy contrast effect making them look unnatural (not on smooth color)

This to an extent of making me want to sell the damn thing. I'm assuming it has to do with RYYB sensor. My kid ends up looking like decorated chocolate while the other one (who is on the fairer side) always comes out looking far better and natural.

But then again, Samsung sucks at snapping subjects unless they're completely still, which is next to impossible with kids.

My other gripe is not being able to switch to HDR with just a click instead of having to swim my way through the menu.

I'm hoping software fix is around the corner.

So Mr. whosetheboss comparison isn't all that wrong...his skin tone will ALWAYS be oversaturated, and I believe this is to do with the sensor.

Introduction

The photos captured by Apple or some Android phone will be stored as HEIF format. But, if this .HEIC format is opening from older device, maybe you can't do, the HEIF format will save a photo or video as .HEIC format and you need to convert back to JPG or JPEG or something else.

That why Total Media Converter is released. We would like to convert between .HEIC format to JPG/JPEG or PNG that you can upload or do something.

Main features:

- Convert between HEIC to other formats (JPEG/JPG/PNG).

- Keep all MetaData including (GPS, Copyright, Lens information, ...).

- Keep ICC Profile/ Color Profile.

- Smoothly converting.

- Multiple files as once (Free)

- Offline converting (no upload file anywhere)

- The .HEIC format is better than JPG, so we currently supporting convert from JPG to HEIC (Android 8.0+) that will save your storage so much.

- Video, audio also supported, that you can convert between many kind of Video/Audio in our app.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bdcrim:
I have been having an issue for awhile that is driving me crazy. I have my screen lock set to swipe with Ambient Display set to on and Double Tap to check phone enabled. On occasion, I can double tap to wake the phone or push the power button when the Ambient Display is showing and the lock screen is bypassed and the Home Screen is displayed. I have tried to go to Settings/Security & location/Advanced and Clear Credentials, followed by a reboot. It solves the issue for awhile but then it returns. Sometimes it is several days and sometimes it is within several hours. Anyone else have this issue? If so did you figure out a fix? Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Do you have any Smart Lock options checked?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bdcrim:
Nope. That choice is grayed out when you choose swipe for Screen Lock. Thanks
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
When you choose "swipe", it disables your lock screen.

Try this: choose password/pin/pattern for your lockscreen. Add a fingerprint too. Then go back to settings and choose swipe. You'll get a warning that you are disabling device protection and removing security for it.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] bdcrim:
Thanks. It looks like swipe is actually a choice for the lock screen :). I have been using it for about a year. None is the choice if you want to bypass it. I did try what you suggested and it worked for a day, but then it reverted back to bypassing again. Thanks again

That's because they haven't changed the color reproduction of the ultra wide sensor at all - only of the main sensor. I guess they wanted to remedy some of the shortcomings of the RYYB filter, but the oversaturated colors of the ultra wide sensor are most likely intentional. I personally like this more dramatic look for ultra wide photos

Also 168 comes WITH the camera upgrade that was there in 161, which again is BS as camera version is still 306!
