[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] finshan:
Yes that's true. But they're also washed out and equivalent to the pocophone in anything less than great lighting.

That's a subset of #1 above: it doesn't have ANY kind if focus ability whether that be autofocus, tap to focus, or manual focus.

The problem however isn't simply a fixed focal length. Selfies have a predictable focal length of around 2 feet, so if it didn't have autofocus but the focal length was fixed at 2 feet there wouldn't be a problem. The problem, then, is that it has a fixed focal length of "infinity" (aka 20 feet). That's why objects behind the subject are more in focus.

But that alone doesn't account for all of the blurring.

Selfies are typically taken with one hand, a situation that's complicated by the fact that the single hand holding the camera can't stabilize itself because the thumb is used to press the shutter—causing additional jitter to an inherently unstable situation. Pixels have been able to maintain sharp selfies by mitigating this issue with OIS. But they took away OIS on the selfie cam of the Pixel 4 series.

And despite all of that, HDR+ is an incredibly robust processing algorithm that can significantly lower the impact of the problems above by combining the best parts of many images—but, you guessed it, they disabled the ability to force HDR+ on the Pixel 4 series.

The lack of autofocus is, therefore, only one component of a battery of fu.ckups all culminating in the absolute potato selfie cam on the Pixel 4.

Wow!

I've had every single pixel phone...1xl, 2xl, 3xl and now 4xl and with everyone the camera has only been better. I can't say I agree, sorry.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 4oMaK:
So yeah as the title says I can't decide between Sesh 69hz and Optimus drunk, currently using Evolve X no other custom kernel. I'm looking for best performance and battery life
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Johnjamess:
i'd suggest NGK if you are in need of both battery backup and performance
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 4oMaK:
After thinking, i just installed NGK
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Johnjamess:
Another suggestion!! Try all the available kernels and choose the best on accordingly that matches with your preference!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sachin5555:
Sesh is definitely designed for gamers and who love performance i m also using this kernel and yes this kernel not for who don't play games on mobile and want more battery. NGK is balanced which give u decent performance as well as good battery backup and optimus drunk is beast if u want more SOT this is my review after using these kernels and may be differ from other because everyone using their device differently and my device also 1 and half year old. So results are not same for everyone.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] scudteshka:
I agree with NG and Drunk kernels for SOT but for andro 10 there are some od changes and seems that, for me, Miui 11 with andro 10 stock gives such a good SOT that is maybe even better then other custom ones.

Malakas had awesome development but i do not know what happened to him. If anyone knows please say it.

Also a side question - How do i boost screen colours like Malakas had in his kernel?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] 4oMaK:
Installed NGK in the end and for battery life on balanced is a fu**ing beast with stock miui at work i would lose about 25%-30% with heavy reddit usage and some cod mobile here and there but now it doesnt drop below 89%

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] sarthak882:
I unlocked my bootloader, then tried to flash TWRP through fastboot but that's where something weird happened. It flashed successfully, but the next time I booted my device into recovery, the stock recovery came up. So I flashed TWRP again.

Then I flashed the decrypt.zip and Magisk.zip, and the zip to enable camera2api. And rebooted device, only to notice that my WiFi just isn't turning on. And it's been a mess since then. (My device did get rooted though)

So I tried booting my device, and there comes up Google's device setup which NEEDS internet access, and I realised my WiFi isn't turning on.

I tried everything. Wiping data, cache, factory reset, even tried flashing stock ROM again but it gave an error saying:

"This file is for device "xxxxxx" while your device is " " "

It just said " ", nothing. So I realised I can't even flash ROMs now.

But hours later I managed to get past the device setup by (recharging and) using mobile data, and realised my IP Address was showing as N/A and WiFi MAC Address as 02.00:00:00:00:00

After another loads of hours, I managed to fix my IP Address thanks to a thread on XDA, but the MAC still remains that way.

So after hours of research, now at 4AM, I came to the conclusion that I gotta use BusyBox and Terminal Emulator to change it.

But now, what do I set my MAC Address to? How do I find my original Address? Is that even possible?

Need help on this ASAP, please.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot! I flashed the 340 ROM and that fixed it all, although I'm now back to Oreo and locked bootloader.

So gonna go through unlocking it and rooting my phone again, hoping I don't end up in this mess again. Thank you!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] RedGreenBlue123:
Yeah, man. Don't use Pie AFT because it is not stable. 340 is the best AFT ROM.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] sarthak882:
Wait, it's messed up again damnitttt

I used the Pie AFT, the 059 one. And now my phone just isn't booting, it shows the "boot loader is unlocked" warning (which it shouldn't? as AFT re-locks the bootloader, no?), shows the Android, ASUS logo and switches off

Man how do I fix this now

I was trying to get to Pie so that I can flash Havoc OS then. Please help

I might be able to get back to the 340 using AFT again, but then how do I update to Pie without using AFT? I'm still new to this, please help

Edit:

Also, this time the AFT just suddenly closed after (apparently) completing its process, and it didn't take as long as it took when flashing the 340. And my phone was still in Fastboot mode. So when I rebooted my phone, it surprisingly asked for a password. I didnt enter anything and it said Invalid Password, and I restarted my device and since then it's just not booting up.

Edit 2:

Wait it seems I made a really stupid mistake, my drive ran out of space, so I think the AFT couldn't extract the zip file completely.

I'm now trying it from another drive with space. Hopefully this time it'll all work fine

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] wirethin:
Phone was updated to MIUI 11.0.2 China ROM last month. Unwanted content pops up like crazy. Run the debloat script from xda. Phone worked for a day and then start to reboot itself into recovery constantly. Locked Bootloader. Phone was registered with a xiaomi account. Do not remember if usb debug was enabled or not. Select MiAssistant from recovery, plug the usb cable to computer and "run adb devices" command list the phone as sideload status. Since I did not back up my data yet, I would like to know if there is a way I could save my data.

Here is what I have tried so far.

1) Tried to use QPST tools to save the data before I format the phone. I opened the back cover and used test point to enter edl mode. I can see the comm port (9008) but QPST tools could not make connection. It hang at recognizing the phone. So it seems I could not use QPST to save my data.

2) Tried to use MiAssistant tools to flash MIUI 11.0.2 China ROM to the phone to see if the phone can be recovered as MiAssistant can flash the recovery ROM without wipe the data. Downloaded and installed the MiAssistant 3.0 beta, and then downloaded MIUI 11.0.2 China ROM. The MiAssistant verified ROM correctly and started to flash the ROM. During flashing, while MiAssistant show progress at about 33%, the phone screen would show 90.49% and stopped increasing. The MiAssistant would keep increase till 100% and reboot phone but the phone screens stopped at 90.49%. After phone rebooted, it reboot into Mi-Recovery mode again. So flash failed. After enter MiAssistant screen again, run the Recovery pullcache command from MiAssistant tools will get the log from the phone. After went through the log files, I found the flash process stoped with error status "INSTALL_CORRUPT". Google the word "INSTALL_CORRUPT" and found no solution for the problem.

Would really appreciate if anyone can help me bring back the phone without wiping the data.

I have another whyred phone with the same version of ROM if that helps.

Thanks.

However when i noticed how performance was very affected by this it was an immediate regret, so i tried 3 different versions of Odin (v3.14.1, v3.12, and v3.12 (PrinceComsy)) to use the stock firmware provided in that thread to flash it, however in my las attempt (PrinceComsy) it failed and when i tried to go back (in shame and having failed) the phone wont boot and it says "Software Update Failed, Your device didn't update sucessfuly. Use the Version Software Update Assistant on a computer to repair your device and complete the update."

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
Download stock firmware either from the samfirm tool, sammobile, or updato. Flash with Odin, make sure you select all four files (AP, CP, CSC, BP)

Most root methods for the USA models involve using an engineering bootloader, which comes with performance and battery impacts you can't get around because it's due to the bootloader. It's either root + performance impact, or stock no root.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MN1352K0:
Hello,

I have a problem converting samsung note 4 n910p to n910f. At the beginning I dowloaded TWRP and flash it by Odin. I made a backup of everything then downloaded the rom for samsung galaxy n910f Pixel Experience. When installing rom I get a message "ERROR 7". It occurs when installing each custom os example: ViperOS, HAVOCOS rom. All the time there is the same problem. On the xda forum I found a user manual how to flash the baseband firmware. I flashed OK1 - nothing has changed then PE2 - the same, "error 7" is still there. I also tried the Trex888 user manual to install T-mobile OS + ramkernel + datafix and the phone stops while loading - bootloop and the teelphone temperature is rising that I cant touch it when I leave it on the bootloop.

Do you have any verified way to install custom rom to n910p? It's hard to find a clear instruction on what to change to flash a custom rom on n910p:confused:

I restore backup and have a bootloop on the sprint logo :D

The system doesn't start, it stays on SAMSUNG screen and gets bootloop. The phone heats up very strongly within a few minutes, it is possible that even the processor temperature is higher than 80 * C.

By installing firmware and baseband PE1 from the above link in Odin shows that everything is ok ( success). But can it be that, despite everything, the baseband did not get in, therefore it does not accept this rom or any other?

The same example, when after flashing TWRP by Odin, if we do not disconnect the battery, TWRP will not install. Is this possible with baseband and frimware for PE1?

Hi V20 users!

One of my favorite features on the Honor 8 is that the fingerprint sensor is also a button that can be mapped to whatever you want. I've found myself very reliant on it as a flashlight toggle, and dread losing it when I get a new phone.

The V20 fingerprint sensor looks just like the Honor 8's, but I've seen no mention of a button build into it. Does it have one?

Has Honor included that feature on any of their phones since the 8/8X?

apparently you need to enable HDB options to use HiSuite, right? Tested HiSuite on Linux emulated via Wine. I was able to use the Huawei tool but I couldn't hook up the mobile to the app. Have you used HiSuite to downgrade the bootloader? If so, it is really needed to have adb connection? Remember my phone is protected via FRP. :cowboy:

This is the way to enable HDB (Huawei ADB dev options):

Being blocked by FRP, HDB switch cannot be enabled so i am not sure if HiSuite can be used

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I do need to find another way to perform a downgrade on the bootloader and base image to EMU 9.0 where there are public and known vulnerabilities to overcome FRP.
