[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] vadergr:
Hello all,

I just ordered my Mi 9 unit and will be expecting in in a week or so.

I read a lot of reviews but all of them were old (day of release) so i would like to ask if we have updates on the following:

Is night mode/ perf. in low light updated?

Notifications issue fixed?

GCAM works for this model without root? Is low light performance better?Audio and Video recording bitrate better than stock app?

Is there a 3rd party video recording app compatible with the Mi9 that records with higher video and audio bitrate? Filmic Pro or Cinema4K maybe?

I read somewhere that Mi 9 is on Google's official list for the Android Q beta programm. Is that enabled? How do i sign? Am i going to be able to keep stock android once the beta programm is completed?

Is there any toolkit similar to Nexus/Pixel ones that make the procedure of installing 3rd party roms easier?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] khushg:
I have 2 issues which I am hoping someone on this forum could help with

1. Videos on Netflix are really dark. An app kicks in once Netflix opens and I'm assuming this is the problem

2. No videos play in 21:9 as promised has anyone got this to work? Pinch to zoom doesn't cut it as it crops the video to make it fit
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] jackfrost3821:
I've noticed these issues as you've

1. Side by side comparison with my Galaxy S8 clearly shows video playback on Xperia 1 is really dark. This is more noticeable with Netflix app and also with pre-loaded Spiderman Far From Home trailer. Not entirely sure if this happens with YouTube too (I think it does because S8's super saturated display blows off X1's natural colour reproduction. Maybe its just my perception.)

2. Only YouTube videos by default play in 21:9 for me. I wasn't able find single NetFlix show or movie in that aspect ratio.
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] a5ian300zx:
I believe the Samsungs increase the brightness in video apps inc Netflix.

Is hdr dark in Netflix to?

21:9 is a common cinema scope, I hope they get this sorted.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] SergioA92:
Try Thor Ragnarok, that one played 21:9 for me no problem
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] a5ian300zx:
I will be testing mine in the next few days inc Netflix, local demo hdr samples, YouTube etc.

Some videos do play in full screen without pinch to zoom, for example fast and furious 8. It needs to be natively on Netflix in the 21:1 aspect ratio.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] fantasma64:
What happens if I have lineage 15.1 and I want to return to 7.0 stock can I do it?

should I do a back up? I read that I could lose the imei :crying: how can I avoid it?

I would use this tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_6LQr01GhY

thank you all for the help and advice :good::fingers-crossed:

sorry for my bad English
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] slimbobaggins:
I don't know about lineage 15.1, but I had the OTA 8.1 update on my XT1644, and it broke my speakerphone and made my phone run like crap, so I just rolled back to stock 7.0 and am VERY happy.

I DID lose IMEI (I had IMEI=0), but from what I understand, it was because I manually flashed 7.0 from adb. I think that had I used the TWRP file, it wouldn't have happened.

I got IMEI back by following the directions in this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-imei0-issue-t3859068

I also disabled OTA backups by doing this: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=72373828&postcount=12

So that Motorola can't push an OTA on my phone and brick it.

You should make a complete backup following the directions of this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-moto-g4-plus-complete-partition-t3875787

I know virtually nothing about messing with phones or Android. My motivation was that if I couldn't get rid of OTA 8.1, I was going to throw away my phone and get something different. And I didn't want to spend the money on a new phone. I figured I'd brick what I have, before I spent money on a new one.

I pretty much followed the directions on this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-newbie-resource-thread-t3386584

Except that by loading 7.0 manually, it caused me to lose IMEI. Knowing what I know now, after flashing TWRP, I would have flashed 7.0 using TWRP. And I don't think I would have lost IMEI then.

Once I had 7.0 loaded, I flashed Magisk to get root.

Once I had root, I used a file explorer to go in and delete the app that pushes the OTA, so Motorola can't screw me. As far as I know, I am now permanently on 7.0.

Do this at your own risk. But you're already running Lineage, so I assume that you know way more about this than I do.

Edit: Just realized I kinda rambled here. So here's the condensed version of what I would do, I think... do at your own risk.

1. Use that thread I linked to back up your *everything*

2. Save stock 7.0 file, Elemental X file, and Magisk file on your SD card (all from XDA)

3. From TWRP, flash 7.0

4. Once you have 7.0, from TWRP flash Elemental X.

5. From TWRP, flash Magisk

6. From that link I posted, delete the file that stops OTA's.

I think you'll now be where I am, with rooted stock 7.0. But you should still have your IMEI. If you have IMEI=0, follow the directions in the link I posted.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] fantasma64:
I am eternally grateful for your help and message!! :good::good::good:

but in the tutorial that you sent me: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/guide-newbie-resource-thread-t3386584

indicate that the installation should be done manually by adb... do you think I should do it for TWRP ??

---------------

[...]

Flashing Stock Firmware:

1) Download the correct firmware for your device from http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27

2) Download adb and fastboot from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5j...ew?usp=sharing

3) Extract the firmware into the folder containing abd and fastboot.

4) Reboot the phone into Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).

5) Execute these commands and make sure you receive an 'OKAY' after each command.

[...]

thanks :D
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] slimbobaggins:
That tutorial was written years ago. I think back then, the only way was to manually install.

If you manually install 7.0, you will wipe your IMEI and have to restore it like I did.

I suggested the TWRP install because I *think* it wont wipe the IMEI.

If it does, you should still be able to recover it... but again, I barely know what I'm talking about. So please follow the thread about backing up your entire phone and persist, first. I am merely sharing with you what I did to roll back mine to 7.0, your experience may vary.

And again, if you do roll back, make sure you follow the instructions to disable OTA, because if you accidentally take an OTA, it will brick your phone for sure.

I literally just figured out how to do all this, this weekend. Prior to that I knew *nothing* about this stuff. So please read everything you can to educate yourself... its all here on this very good forum, you just have to piece it together. I am 100% a newbie.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] Icaaruz:
Hello everyone. First of all, sorry for my english (not native speaker) and if I somehow missed another thread talking about this issue.

So, I'm happy to be a new Mix 3 owner, been wanting to get one since it came out and coming from OnePlus 5 and a Nexus 5 before that.

I was able to unlock the phone no issue whatsoever by waiting the required 72 hours. Now I'm trying to flash a recovery (TWRP official), but I'm having trouble with it. By the way, it's a GLOBAL phone on latest stable global.

Her's what I did:

-Unlocked phone: OK

-Set debug USB in developer options

-Flashed TWRP in fastboot: OK

-UP+Power to start recovery: OK

-Flashed latest MAGISK in recovery: OK

-Reboot to system: BOOTLOOP back to TWRP every single time.

At first I thought it was because of Magisk, and proceded to unistall via the official unistaller, but then I found out that it was actually TWRP the issue. So I flashed stock recovery via fastboot and wiped all. Phone booted to system as normal, luckily.

Now I really don't know what I did wrong....and would like to know if, as of today, it is possible to flash TWRP recovery on GLOBAL stable. I've read somewhere else that you can't do it unless you flash another ROM. Is that true?

Thank you very much for anyone who can help. Sorry again if it's the wrong section or if it has already been answered.

**EDIT**

Thanks to user Mackay53 for helping me out with this in private, you deserve a medal.

Everything (latest TWRP and Magisk) is working on latest GLOBAL Stable!

Apparently after flashing TWRP via fastboot you need to reboot into it (VOL+ and POWER) and FORMAT DATA, just that. Then Reboot>System and it finally reboots into system (seems like it was an issue with encryption).

For Magisk, I had to go into fastboot again and reflash TWRP because for some reason it didn't stick the first time. After that boot directly into recovery and flash latest Magisk. Reboot>System. Voilà!

All Good!

[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ziphnor:
I currently use an OP5 which i am pretty happy about (great performance, fast charging and no bloat), except for the rear camera (using stock camera app). It sometimes mess up skin tones creating a water pastel kind of effect and i find its low light performance questionable. I mostly take pictures of my kids, and it is frustrating when this happen since usually its not a posed photo where you can just try again.

I am considering upgrading to the OP7 Pro, but i am really confused about the camera performance. DxoMark has it scoring very high (using a different firmware?), and many reviewers also rank it among the best, while several others complain about horrible performance.

So, what i want to ask is:

1. Is the OP7 Pro camera a significant upgrade over the OP5?

2. Has the new firmware been released, and has it addressed the photo quality concerns?

3. Is the OP7 Pro rear camera on par with P30 Pro and S10+ ignoring zoom capabilities?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] explosivequack:
The camera is okay, I'd say it's better than my lg g6, so it should be an upgrade over the op5. It has the potential to be just as good as my s9+ camera, and sometimes it is just as good, sometimes it's just not.

Personally I'd say if camera performance is more important to you than price, unlockability, or bloat, go with the s10. If you want something that feels like a better op5 go with the op7p, but the camera will most likely not be able to compete with the s10. I'd also say avoid the p30 pro because I don't think you should spend $700-800 on something that will only get updates for a few more months.

Camera performance for me is fine, I never really use my camera, when I do I'm not trying to take artsy shots, and every time I take a picture its good enough to get my point across.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Eric214:
It's definitely an upgrade over the op5i had and it's an upgrade over my op6 camera as well.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] darkandshadow:
I upgraded from OP5 to OP7Pro and honestly, it is a big upgrade. After tweaking the gCam stuff for a while, while there are times that the stock camera has better results, the gCam team have done an outstanding job pushing the camera hardware to their fullest.

The display alone is worth it. Complete eye candy.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] ziphnor:
I really dislike the Samsung software, it is significantly more expensive and it has a front-camera in the display (i prefer a pop-up because i only rarely take selfies and because i prefer fingerprint unlock), so it would have to a significant difference in camera performance.

Why will the P30 Pro only get updates for a few more months? I had considered it, but disliked paying more for a somewhat slower device.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] explosivequack:
samsungs one ui is a lot better than it used to be, the front camera on the s10+ is probably significantly better than the front camera of the op7p because it doesn't focus. Back camera probably won't be as significant as the front.

The United States has stuff going on where companies can't do business with huawei, including google. They have a 90 day thing going on so for 90 days Huawei will continue to get updates, but if the trade ban isn't reversed in 90 days Huawei will only be allowed to use aosp, and not use any of googles goodness.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
The camera can be inconsistent. But the hardware is up there with the best and can come out with comparable results. Just still some software and processing to be tweaked
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
Stock is horrible. It destroys fine detail with poor post processing and forget about wide angle or panorama shots. Gcam helps a lot with detail but colours aren't great.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] rickysidhu_:
May be an unpopular opinion but if your main concern is camera, the Pixel 3a might be worth looking at.

I only say 3a to also save some money. The Pixel 3 XL could be an option too, if you are willing to pay more. I just couldn't stand the notch and some performance issues that were reported by others as well.

As for the 7 Pro, the camera definitely isn't the strong point of this device, but I'm sure it does a better job than the 5. Even if software hasn't improved much, the hardware upgrade should be good enough to get better quality pictures compared to the OP5.

Just install "Button Mapper" from Aaron SEGAERT.

Of course, you can configure it do "Do nothing"...

Problem solved :)
