The S20U takes very pleasant pictures, as mentioned the lens is supposed to work like that, since it has a fixed aperture. AF was indeed bad at the beginning but it has improved a lot. I am no Sammy fan, just my honest opinion, people should understand how physics of aperture and minimum focus distance

works.

I am very pleased with my phone and the pictures it takes. I am coming from an Xperia 1 and S8, for me the quality is absolutely amazing with recent updates.

no it cant be fixed just with software its a hardware issue 108 mp lense
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Paul_Deemer:
Is taking a picture of a Check considered a Macro shot? Because if so I don't have any problems direct depositing checks to my bank with the phone camera. If your hands are not steady it will take an out of focus picture. But if you hold the camera still until after the picture is taken it comes out fine for me. But I am on the U.S. Snap Dragon version.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] VRaju:
So u mean to say people must study and understand physics before they buy s20u. I dint know there was such criteria to buy phones these days...

All ur saying is don’t judge by the spec given by manufacturers. Users must be educated to buy phone. Haha

Even i like Samsung devices.given choice bw op8 pro and s20p..ill still go for s20p. But I don’t expect Samsung to deceive users with such crabs.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Djapatos:
Here is my take on this situation assuming it really can't be fixed.

I have been a loyal Samsung fan since the very first Galaxy S phone. I remember they had a promotion where i ended up getting the Avatar movie on an SD Card and i have been upgrading every year since then. The way i see it based on personal usuage, the problem is really with Close up pic or Macro shot. Besides that i really dont have an autofocus issue when it comes to taking regular pictures. It did had a focus hunting issue in video at launch but that has been fixed. Having said that this phone is everything i would want with a $1,400 price tag, great battery life, massive screen, crazy good display, smoothness etc. It still has an overall very good camera.

Yes, of course I would be happy if it had no issue whatsoever but i wont be like those we keep complaining about a very situational issue. Unless you have a hobby of taking macro shots like all the time, i really dont see the point of all of the complaints. As for me who dont take macro, i am still happily enjoying my device everyday.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] cpufrost:
Well said, I find using pro mode, setting manual focus all the way down (flower icon) and then moving phone back and forth from subject until it's sharp works best for me. The peaking highlights (green) aren't always spot on so need to do some trial and error to get it where it works best for your case.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] truonglam:
First Sorry for my bad English

1 , shoot a near subject (distance 3-10cm) is not marco shot.

Ss need to notify to customer about this feature ( or engineering problems ) before i bought this phone.

Loock at iphone 11 pro,huawei p40 pro, oppo find x2 pro,... it shoot well every distance even day light or low light picture are same quality with s20u.

2. Some people say buy gaming phone for play game .

Look at iphone and other phones again. Many phones do well everthing not like s20u

When i play pubg after 4- 5 round my phone is too hot, the phone very lagging than first round . why 1400$ phone can like that ?

Iphone 11 pro have 4000mah and it has battery onscreen longer than s20u 5000 mah

Samsung has problems and we need to tell samsung fix it and don't do that again. No one have many free time to tell "i have problems" when they don't have problems.

Sorry for my bad English.

buy a ferrair car and get it pulled by manual car.

Couz many believe it was meant to be used like that.

Very strange comments & really hard to digest.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] brouwerchris:
Please define the distance of a macro shot.

Show us pictures made from 50 mm distance made by iPhone 11 pro,then magnify this picture 10x

I will be very surprised if the results are good.

Attached pics are made from 100,50 and 40 mm.

The only good result is the 100 mm picture,since even after 10x magnification the result is good .

All pics were made under identical conditions,

Phone on small wooden blocks of 40,50 and 100 mm thickness.

I think 100mm distance is the nearest distance you can make high quality photo's with any smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jdubya42:
I don't even see this as an ultra issue. I have the S20 (non ultra, non +) and I swear none of my pictures are ever in focus. They all seem *just* out of focus and makes them all look terrible. It is really disappointing me.

[Magisk] NewbieHacker2004:
Hi!

I tried installing Magisk v20.4 beta on my Moto G5s Plus (Sanders) running PixelExperience ROM (2020/04/12) with TWRP with treble support but I get the following message

- Mounting /system, /vendor

! Cannot mount /vendor

- Unmounting partitions

Updater process ended with ERROR: 1

Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Magisk-v20.4.zip'

Can anybody please help.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
As you've surmised, that usually indicates that you're not using a TWRP that is Treble compatible.

And even if you do have a Treble compatible TWRP, it is much more likely that the issue lies with the recovery rather than Magisk. You can hopefully get help with that in the corresponding TWRP thread, if there is one.

A way around it would be to patch the boot image with the Manager and then install that patched image though TWRP, instead of using the zip. Installation instructions here:

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
My Oneplus 8 Pro arrived yesterday and I am immediately having issues with the fingerprint sensor.

The FPS enrolls just fine with no issues and then immediately after the setup it works when tested, a few minutes later though it just will not work at all. I have removed and re-added 3 times now with no change, the screen looks clean and there is no factory fit screen protector on this thing

Anybody else? Unsure if this is a hardware or software issue and really would rather not have to return it.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Batfink33:
Works OK for me. It's not very accurate though and only picks up the correct print about 30% of the time. The 7pro was better.

I saw a video recently that suggested the scanner got better with time and, to some extent, learnt the more it was used. I'm not sure if it's placebo affect but I've certainly found that to be the case. It was rubbish to start with but has become more efficient.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] arsenal74:

[Honor 20 Pro Questions & Answers] bluri:
I've been using Honor 20 Pro for few days and there's very strange issue:

I use Plantronic Voyager 5200 Bluetooth Handsfree all day due to work and during calls it a) drops the connection b) goes silent.

When it's on table it works for a minute or 2, but when I put into my POCKET it drops voice immediately!

Now I'm testing music over it and no problems!

Any idea what could cause this? Seems to be software issue during call?

EDIT: Whoa, very strange. Opened PLT HUB-app once and everything works like charm, I've been now on phone for 15min and no problem.

EDIT2: Seems strange :) Worked, but then using again and same issues. Then I realized PLT Hub was closed again by agressive battery actions. I configured the management to manual, let's see if this resolves the issue fully

Hi all,

Just a short question.

I have a Diamond (previously an Artemis)

I am useing cooked ROMs on my devices as many of you

Could someone tell me how many times is it possible to reflash my device?

:confused::p:confused:

Is there a number for "safe" flashing? a limit?...........

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fzzyrn:
flash memory DOES have a limit to write cycles, but it's somewhere in the millions range.

Theres really no limit to the amount of flashes your phone can sustain. More often than not, human error kills the device before the flash memory conks out
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] flaviopac:
Try to flash lots of roms...

...And you'll tell us which is the limit.........

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Deleted member 8792115:
Try uninstalling Huawei Management Services but from Google Play Store. After that, you can reinstall it again and when the menu below appears, select disable for everything.

If this does not work, go to "data usage" for HMS core app and disable mobile, background and roaming data. Then, select NO for "Display over other apps" and "Write system settings".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thibor5893:
Hello, im new in app development. How to make sure that someone doesnt copy my Android app to iOS? I would like to upload my app on Google play store, but im afraid of that someone will see it and will make same for iOS. I will upload it in future Also in iOS, but for now i must be sure that nobody will steal in. Sorry for my english.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
My POV:

For iOS devices several Android emulators exist, hence noone must steal an Android app, but simply run it on such an emulator

Probably nobody is crazy enough to rewrite an Android app for running on iOS powered devices. Notice that Android apps are programmed in Java, iOS apps typically are programmed in Swift ( Apple's recommendation ) .
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] winch3rry:
Hello Xda Members,

I am a member of XDA for a long time and also a big fan of roots, every device that I had in the future the first thing that I was doing was to root the device. In my One Plus 6T when I bought it I was really happy as the OPB was open and getting updates. With the OPB closing after 2 years, I am looking if it is worth to root my device.

Of course, I want to make sure that I will be able to still use Google Pay all the banking apps that I had on my phone and make sure that, as I am away from rooting the phone for over 1,5 years and not the following anything.

Do you have to propose a stable ROM and Kernel for my device(One Plus 6T)?

Many Thanks
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Striatum_bdr:
The real question is will it be worth to have root on Android in the future? Magisk's Dev state in his Twitter account that the root + safety + CTS profile is a behind us era, with latest GMS updates closing the only flaw that enables tricking CTS and safety net to be passed on rooted devices.

So those rooting won't be able to use apps checking cts and safety anymore. Still working on op6t but for how long?

And flashing a kernel and an alternative ROM doesn't need root, only twrp. So basically these are 2 different topics.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
Still Worth rooting I really do it for the adblocker, Dolby.

I heard 3 years ago that rooting is dead but it is still here.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] NexusS4gFreak:
I'm rooted and still have access to all my bank apps as well as using Google pay. I think it's worth it, choice is yours. I'm on Evolution ROM and using mcd kernel, fantastic combo.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Striatum_bdr:
It's the master of Magisk himeself that said that. Till now, Google was using functions in the userspace to check root status. And that could tricked.

On many devices depending on GMS version deployed, this status checking uses now hardware functions that can't be overridden by software tricks. . OnePlus 6t is till now an exception but all recent phones are rooted, that still works, but without CTS and Safety net....

And he said clearly that there is no possible way to bypass this. So it will be root or CTS Safety net. But not both.

And root is not needed to flash a custom room so that's another debate
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] mchlbenner:
That might true mine doesn't pass safty net and still bank apps still work without issue.

If they did not work I would use a browser to do my banking ECT.

I will say Google pay would not work on my phone but I don't use it any way.

If people need certain things to work simple don't root your phone.

What is vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe for? I have open registry file vjtasknosoft.reg but do not know how to apply it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
vjtoggletoday lets you hide your softkeys.. your systray and your taskbar.

you HAVE to use it for this skin.. otherwise you won't have enough room for everything.

(you can obviously not use it and change my ini file as well).

to use the registry file you need:

http://rapidshare.com/files/130331161/TaskMan2.9Regedit_and_links.rar.html

extract TaskMgr 2.exe and Regedit.lnk to your windows directory and from start/programs run Regedit. after it loads, search for an option to Register Registry files to Regedit so you can run them independently... and run the Vj...reg file. that will do for that.

this regards everyone!!!

in TaskMan2.9 rar file i'm posing here i included Softreset.exe and it's shortcut. both should be put in the /windows directory.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
if anyone's interested, i've added a different HomePage look:

I'm posting the rar file needed for this:

http://rapidshare.com/files/130330782/AltHomePage.rar.html

what you need to do is:

- install o2plus2.3.cab

- put the ini file in your UL directory

- extract the Diamond-NoSMSorMC.rar file into your rlToday directory and in the rlToday options choose the "daemon" skin. (there is a font ttf file included in this rar file, you're invited to put it in your /windows/fonts dir).

enjoy

EDIT: in the original version of the Diamond Clock for rlToday (which is included with the rar in this post), nothing happens when you click the clock. i edited the XML file which is supposed to go to the /program files/rltoday/daemon folder so that when you click it you can change clock settings. this is important for any of you who uses the alarms. (i use it on a daily basis).

what you need to do is switch the skin.xml file in the /program files/rltoday/daemon folder with the xml provided.

http://rapidshare.com/files/130342399/skin.xml.html
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
A few changes

- Moved HomePage o2plus and SMS/MMS today plugins to the middle of the screen.

- Changed the rlToday XML to open Clock when left side of clock is clicked and to open Tasks (for those of you who use it a lot like me), when the right side of the clock is clicked.

- Changed the WeatherPanel WPD WPX WPL files to show the fonts in a nicer more centered way and not to be thrown out of the screen.

- Changed one of the icons in the programs section to the calculator instead of thumbcal (which is run by an upwards gesture on the calendar screen).

- Added a margin to the Internet screen so that the icons are detached from the upper part of the screen (easily clicked).

This is what you need:

http://rapidshare.com/files/130690159/Files18july2008.rar

copy everything from there to the right directories (as they are set inside the rar file).

2 more things.

1. I use HButton to QUIT applications, run iGO8, Comm Manager, iContact, Disable/Enable Bluetooth. this is why they don't appear in the skin.. they're all button controlled. if you need help with HButton let me know.

2. I'm gonna keep all previous posts with the previous files set as they are so that if anyone prefers previous settings he/she can enjoy them.

cheers
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
i'm asking anyone who has additions, changes and comments about this to please post them here so i can add them and apply them myself.

thank you in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
Alright,

Enhancments:

i took James Kuang's (thank you james) rlToday skin (found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=409370) and altered it a bit.. to look.. different (changed the XML to show different fonts, edited the clock background in photoshop to be white... yada yada) :)

a little lighter and fitting with my UltimateLaunch settings.

What you need to do to get that is download the rar file given here, install VJphoneshortcuts from the rar file, and put the Diamond folder in your rlToday folder in program files. then, choose Diamond as the skin in rlToday instead of the old one. (install VJphoneshortcuts on your DEVICE).

whoever took my last advice and installed o2plus - uninstall it now. i included the same setup within the rlToday skin.

also, when clicking the date on the upper right side, it brings up Thumbcal.. and the other settings are still on. clicking the left side of the clock brings up the clock setting and the right side brings up Tasks.

when clicking the number of sms's or the pic next to it, it loads "Messaging"

when clicking the number of missed calls or the pic next to it, it loads "Call History" (you must install VJphoneshortcuts for the missed calls shortcut to work).

Update 7:

This is my current setup (without the Contacts Page .. it is still the same and is shows on the first page of this thread):

Changes:

- removed tray so that there's more room

- HomePage: Brought back the Next Appointment Bar in rlToday skin

- HomePage: clicking on the right side of the clock brings up ThumbCal Tasks

- HomePage: clicking on the date brings up Thumbcal New Task

- Clicking on the Next Appointment bar brings up Thumbcal Today

- Added margins to some of the tabs

- Programs Page: S2P icon replaced with RegEdit since S2P runs using upwards gesture in HomePage

- Calendar+ Page: Upwards gesture brings up Thumbcal 1.0.6 Monthly/Weekly view

- Internet Page: 2 New icons - Wifi Available Networks and Bluetooth Settings. (NOTICE bluetooth button in homepage is for moBlue2.1 while in Internet Page it's for Bluetooth Settings)

Here is the file you need to UPDATE to this setup:

http://rapidshare.com/files/133087891/Update7.rar.html

updating:

1. put the Ultimatelaunch.ini file in your UL dir.

2. put the updated rlToday skin from the program files dir in the rar file to the specified dir.

3. put MSBluetooth.lnk and Network Adapters.lnk in your device's ROOT dir.

4. put vjtoggletodayalphaII in your windows/startup dir (if you haven't already done so in earlier setups) and run the vjtasknosoft....reg file.

5. you MUST install Thumbcal version 1.0.6 (supplied in rar) for the HomePage links to work, otherwise you must setup the options yourself in UL setup.

6. for the dialer, install 2G Htc Dialer.cab and poorlyduck diamond dialer.cab

7. icontact 1.01 is supplied

I must remind you again that not all applications are included in this setup. for instance, i run iGO8, iContact, Enable/Disable Bluetooth/Wifi and Quit using HButton (it is included in the first page of this thread as part of the main setup).

Soft keys

nir36 - thank you for a great Ultimate Launch setup

I am trying to get this to work on my Polaris and am installing your setup a bit at a time. One question though is I have 2 soft keys at the bottom of my today screen. This causes a vertical scroll bar to appear on the right of the screen and ruins the overall effect.

Is there a particular part of your installation that removes these soft keys? I have previously tried the program dciNoBar which is supposed to do this, but it does not function correctly with my ROM.

Do you have any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
putting the file vjtoggletodayalphaII in your startup menu and applying the supplied registry file for it will remove the softkeys.
