Tested that too, it's a brick :(

Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciated the good will!
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Zaxx32:
fwiw....Due to the recent launch of the G8, brand new 64GB/4GB Moto G7s, not the janky Power or Play models, are going for $150-$160 'Buy it Now' on ebay and new 64gb/3gb G6's for $99! I luv it when a new G launches...prices come a tumblin down.

Also...the nearly new 'Open Box' & A+ grade G7s will start going waay down as folks start trading in their G7s for a G8, or other, to upgrade. I've had fantastic luck with open boxers...like the G5+ I have now. :D
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Piyush_neupane:
When I use the front camera on a video chat and try using other apps, the camera automatically shuts down. Therefore, im nt being able to multitask and attend a video call. any suggestions on how to clear this up?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] MagikGab:
It's a bug I encountered so far. To troubleshoot it: when you started the video call, activate the multitask (recent apps), in this way the chat will be reduced to PiP. At least I use this method when I'm making a video call on WhatsApp, and it works.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] aasiaasi:
Hello Everyone,

Hope You All Are Doing Great !

I Have A Problem In November Security Patch As Its Not Installing. Its Giving An Error "Installation Failed". So My Question Is That Is There A Easy Way To Install Incremental OTA In Fastboot ? If Yes, So What Steps Should Be Taken.

This link "https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/daisy/" Provides Current Incremental OTA.

Note That, I Have A Locked Bootloader With No Tweaking Just As Factory Setting.

Thanks and Regards,

MUHAMMAD Asif Qasim
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
So many options...

1) flash the modified partitions from a backup. adb logs tell you the partitions the updater doesn't like.

2) Change your ro.build.fingerprint so the updater grabs the full OTA instead of the incremental one.

3) unpack the full OTA payload.bin and flash those partitions from fastboot.

I don't know if any of these can be done while locked though...
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] aasiaasi:
Thank You Very Much a1291762 For The Prompt Response.

Could You Please Guide Me How To Do ? As I Am Not An Expert.

Your Help Will Be Highly Appreciated In This Regard.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] a1291762:
If you won't even search the forums for the existing guides, you probably shouldn't be attempting any of these. There is an element of risk with these activities that may cause data loss.

I'm not sure it's any safer but using miflash to flash 10.0.13.0 is probably the simplest thing for a "non-expert" to do. From there the OTA should install just fine.

Hi i want to use my old nexus 7 as substitute tablet if my Samsung wont work on the road. I use the tablets for music production and gigs, and they have to work well, so i wanted to ask, which os would give me a stable workflow ?

The last time i resurrected the tablet, the 7.1.2 roms were actual, like resurrection, but they were not working very well some crashes here and there, the best would be a rom >5.0 Android thats very safe.

Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] happy4ya:
I was planning on getting new phones for myself and my wife. I was planning on buying a note 10+ and possibly a note 9 have seen a few posts about people getting unlocked phones like this on places like amazon and ebay having issues with Tmobile specific stuff like WiFi calling and Visual Voicemail. I have also seen conflicting info about being able to fix this with a firmware flash.

I know this thread is for the Note 10+, and I don't know if the info would be the same for the note 10+ and the note 9, but I read that the US model was basically the same hardware and you could flash it for whichever carrier you are using to get the version of Android tailored to that carrier. I was wondering if anyone could confirm if this is true or not. Also, I'm guessing that the unlocked version might have a slightly less bloated version of Android, so I'm wondering if it's possible to just keep it as-is and add in the features like Visual Voicemail.

When I get the phone, if any type of flashing is recommended, should I do it or anything else before putting my SIM card in and firing the phone up, or should I just do that first and see if the t-mobile specific stuff works before wasting time going any further? Any info is appreciated.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Firipu:
Silly question. I like to launch my camera from my lockscreen using the double press power button shortcut. If I remember it correctly, it used to unlock my phone, so I could take pictures instantly. But since the latest OxygenOS build, I always have to unlock my phone to open the camera after doublepressing power. Not sure if it has to do with the latest build or if I changed a setting somewhere.

Does anyone know if there is any to fix this behaviour?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] hallo dare:
Working here. It doesn't unlock the phone per say, just the camera. I'm guessing you have it turned in in settings, settings>buttons & gestures>quickly turn on camera.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] Firipu:
Yeah, I have it turned on. If my phone is unlocked, it works like a charm.

Yeah, it's not a full unlock, just the camera app. I can launch the camera app without unlocking from the homescreen by swiping the lower right corner. But the doubletap power button doesn't work. It does open the camera, because as soon as I unlock, the camera app is open and ready to shoot.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sjappie:
Hi all.

Since 6 days i'm unsing the HTC Diamond.

Only ive got a big connection problem.

Let me explain:

To use WLM of WMP Live stream there is a internet connection needed (doh) :)

When using both apps the phone wont switch over to HSDPA, only the G3 icon is present.

Now normally it should connect trough G3, but it wont.

When i open Opera, or IE HSDPA will come up and browsing works.

Now, when i use a WIFI connection all programs like WLM are working properly!

How to fix this? Maybe a regedit witch turns HSDPA always on?! (Battery eater)?

Any other ideas would be very appreciated!

I think there will be a good chance to get goodix working on mido as soon as LineageOS 17 gets official for some XIAOMI devices, because mido is not the only device from XIAOMI with goodix fp sensor.

If you take a look to the four commits from Michael Bestas for android_kernel_xiaomi_msm8998 at gerrit code review,

https://review.lineageos.org/q/goodix

you will see he cleaned up the goodix driver and implementation. He should have the skills to make goodix driver working with Q in my opinion.

Making newer kernel (4.9 or higher) working with mido will be much more work. Artem Borisov is doing it on tissot.

In above link there is also a commit from Bruno Martins importing the goodix driver for LOS17-staging two weeks ago... I am be patient :)

We'll see the results in a few month.

a) For some reason, I'm unable to permanently set the quick settings icon shape from default to round. I resets to default after every reboot.

b) Returning to Oreo recents (vertical) by freezing Quickstep launcher aka. com.android.launcher3 (in Ice Box for example) doesn't work anymore. Couldn't tell if it's a bug or a feature of Android 10 itself, but I'm still super curious about a workaround.

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
I was always a big fan of Gcam on my previous phones. It provided improved results in almost all situations over stock camera. But with Mi A3, I'm liking stock jpegs more. Except of very low light situations, in my eyes stock camera provides better white balance, contrast, saturation and details. I made a comparison photos for my usage, but maybe some other "pixel peeper" finds it interesting. :) All photos taken with phone resting against the window with point&shoot method (no change in focus point etc.). Full res photos should be available after clicking on them.

Apps used:

Stock camera - AI on

Hypercam E1 - "truelight" XML profile with increased saturation (and maybe something else, I forgot what I've changed :))

7_2 - pgmc_7.2.014_androidpie_v7.apk found in some telegram group, default settings

Day:

Stock

Hypercam

Night:

Nice comparison, yes stock camera works beter on mi a3 but older versions are better than these pixel 3 or 4 based gcam, i was using parrot v12 gcam and it was really messing the contract most of the time and the images were dark even in day light when compared to stock, i also tested the arnova's version (8.2) of gcam and it works better pictures are brighter in daylight than parrot version, unfortunately that's all i can say about arnova gcam cause i have not tested it much yet but yes i had a max pro m1 before a3 and on that arnova gcam was awesome.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Btw. if anyone wants to experiment, you can try attached profile for Hypercam E1 or E2 (https://gcambrasil.com.br/dev/hypercam-app). It is based on TrueLight profile created by Gcam Brasil team, I just tweaked a few settings. After trying tens of different profiles I settled on this one (even though I'm using it primarily for night photos).
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
I always wondered what different "LIBS" in Gcam settings do, so.. :)

In my eyes, other libs than stock Google provide very flat image - you can barely see the difference between surfaces lit by sunlight and those in shadows, which is extremely unnatural. Stock AI made the picture a tad too "punchy" by oversaturation, but I guess that's normal for the landscape mode. Gcam with Google libs is the closest to what I really see when I look out of the window, stock cam is close behind.

Stock AI (scene detected as landscape)

Gcam - Stock Google

Gcam - Xlib XS

Gcam - sRGB + B2

Gcam - Abhi Hypercam

[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] RaghavTeck:
Great comparison ??
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ehbm:
Very nice topic
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] FCHRO:
Quality of Gcam is so bad here because gc6.3 have far less detail than 7.0 and 7.2 is even sharper, also it's strongly corellated to lib settings. With modded settings in lib patcher (option in newer gcam mods), quality can be much better.

Depend on gcam version, best settings are different but general rule is to achive look of more megapixel count and wider dynamic range with natural analog grain with more DSLR feel, instead of digital low megapixel oversharpened smartphone look. To do this it's advisable to:

-lower sharpening to 0 or one point above (to remove ringing halo and digital look of bad interpolation)

-lower luma denoise to 0 or 1, this increase real detail preserving natural grain, and gcam is realy good at simulating analog grain with it's debayering alghoritms.

-lower contrast/dehaze to achive more dynamic range (as you can see in xlib custom lib example, lower contrast saves highlights from overburning and retain shadows, this gives space for further color postproduction)

Sharpening is only compensation for denoising, and both of those creates look of lower resolution picture. Hypercam 7.2 can be set to 3 on luma denoising and still remain natural grain, but less noise, PGMC7.0v13 have lowest noise with settings remaining natural grain, there is version modded by Burial with added Aux lens but they dont keep it on Gcam port hub, I found it on Burials Telegram.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
Not sure if we're looking at the same pictures, but 7.2 came out as the worst out of the comparison.

I know that it's possible to fine tune every single parameter in GCAM, but if it was that easy, we would have THE best profile/lib available already. So far I've seen great profile for "punchy" colors, great for strong light, great for shadows, great for details, great for noise removal..but not a single one, which would be great in all situations. I have zero interest and capacity to take thousands of photos with hundreds of different settings combinations, just to find out that my precious profile is suddenly unusable with another GCAM version. If you have such a profile, fine tuned for Mi A3, I'm eager to test it and include in the comparison.

Personally I want out of camera jpeg, which is sharp, has realistic colors and provides natural contrast (shortly WYSIWYG). If I wanted soft, flat, desaturated picture, I'd shoot in RAW and do all the magic on a PC. I expect and achieve the same from my mirrorless camera - OoC JPEGs which I don't have to edit (but still can if I wanted to). For most situations, stock A3 camera provides what I want. I run GCAM only at night or when I want "artistic" HDR.

Obviously your expectations and experience might be vastly different to mine and that's completely fine. This is why I provided comparison photos instead of telling everyone what's "right" - they can easily see and chose what they prefer. You are very welcome to add your comparison photos here, I'd say that everyone is interested in seeing DSLR look and how superior it is.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] FCHRO:
I was talking about full capabilities of gcam version, not settings that mod author choose as default. That was reason for my discontent tone of 'so bad'. I didn't try to be rude, and can only be greatfull for contributing your time and effort for community.

My expectations from smartphone cam are to take jpg photos with 'ready' look, but also retaining usable information in highlights and shadows at the same time.

I'm ok with medium-low contrast look, as it takes few seconds to correct that, and you cannot undone overburned values, noise filtering artifacts or sharpening. WYSIWYG in today's state of technology is a recepie for getting large percentage of over or underexposed images that are unrecoverable. Yet this should be offered as option. Xiaomi and Realmi are choosing now to offer less contrasty stock setting for this reason, still offering contrast settings in options. Lower contrast also enable better filter compatibility, as most add contrast themeselves.

0 contrast setting in Gcam lib patcher is far from 'flat' look, speaking in video profiles lingo. It's similar to xlib or SRGB+B2 in your examples. Saturation is separate setting which can be adjusted accordingly. Increasing it in shadows usually helps with hdr and desaturating blues in post resolves stock oversaturation of highlights. 0.8-1 for highlights and 1.9-2.0 in shadows is quite universal setting, depending on mod and sensors.

Check out new mods as now updates are appearing every day on https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/developers/ Newer versions above 6.3 are significantly better.

Telegrams of developers are also good source of builds, not everything appears on Gcam port Hub. Parrots mods are compatybile with a lot of phones. Hypercam 7.2 have good lib patcher. Burial offers mod that use 48mp resolution. As for comparision photos, I have already deleted those photos. Maybe I will post something later if I will test newer mods.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Guides, News, & Discussion] _mysiak_:
I use camera on a smartphone mainly for "documentation" photos, I am well aware of its HW limitations. Whenever I want to take "nice" pictures (mostly portraits), I always take out M4/3 camera as results simply can't be compared with a phone. This is why I prefer 100% done (or as close to this as possible) photo out of a smartphone, as I find correcting phone photos just a waste of time. Even if it costs me loss of "invisible" details (which are usually worthless in terms of useful information anyway).

I understand your approach and agree that if someone wants to do any type of postprocessing, "flat" pictures are the right way to go. However I'm quite sure, that most people don't care about this and they just want to take a photo and share or view it later. Just as no "ordinary folk" cares about V-LOG in stock camera/gcam for videos.

The biggest problem with GCAM I see today is that there are probably hundreds of different versions already, and as you say, new ones appearing every day. The improvements or changes are usually so small (even if at the end quite important), that it takes a lot of effort to find the best app and settings. I usually try some new "hyped" app or xml version, but at the end I always return to stock app. For me it's much easier to remember limits of one app and take photos accordingly than to try different app every day and/or do corrections of every photo.

Don't take me wrong, I would love to have native gcam - if properly configured by professionals, it provides superior results probably to any other stock app. But that unfortunately won't happen and none of the ported versions I tried works as effortlessly as stock app.

In each case, if you find the time, I would really like to see some comparison photos with your suggested settings (stock vs gcam). Maybe you'll convince us that it's worth it. :)

The following GCAM version anyway beats stock camera maybe except video.

I think this is the best GCAM 7 version by Parrot043 with the best photo quality for our mi A3 on android 9 (P) for now. Also Astrophotography is always on at night mode.

this works best with only a few changes without special settings. I think this is the most beautiful thing for us.

I change hdr+ on with 15 frames and 4:3 ratio for maximum resolution. And on video this gcam supports 1080p at 60fps, 4k is only 30fps.
