[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] fw85:
The periscope camera on Mi 10 Ultra is exactly what you'd expect, something as illustrated here.

It should kick in when you zoom by 5x and more within the camera app. However, I've randomly noticed (some months ago) that the app itself seems to behave in a way that if you zoom in over 5x and cover the periscope lens with your finger, the app will (temporarily) fall back to digital zoom using the main lens (3rd one from the top) even for higher zoom levels, because it assumes that there's something wrong with the periscope one.

In my experience, it would just automatically use the periscope camera when needed the next time I zoom, assuming it isn't covered this time.

If it doesn't, try to zoom like 10x and cover the main lens this time around, if it switches to periscope as it should.

Are you using xiaomi EU ROM?
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] t3chfan:
Thanks for the reply. I feel like my phone is using the main 3rd camera for 5x zoom by default.

If I put the camera app into 5x zoom and cover the 3rd lens with my finger, the photo is obscured, if I put my finger over the periscope lens nothing happens

The same behaviour is displayed for 10x zoom, and any zoom up to 14.9x

However, once it goes into 15x zoom and above, you see "picture within picture" and the viewfinder does seem to be powered by the periscope, and the main 3rd lens is then responsible for the mini image in the corner, please see my attached screenshot, where I have covered the periscope lens with my finger.

So I guess what I'm wondering is...

1) Is my phone screwed?

2) Are 5x to 14.9x zoom shots taken with the main lens by default, by design or is this a bug?

3) Has this behaviour always been the case, or only since I upgraded?

I'm on Android 11 - MIUI 12.1.1.0 (RJJCNXM) which was an OTA update

If it's any use my baseband is c7-3033.23-0120_2103_79a330f and my kernel is 4.1.9.113-perf-gd722e10
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra Questions & Answers] fw85:
Alright so I just went ahead and tested this (I use the EU ROM, but the camera app is just the same thing ported over).

What I found out is:

1. if I click 5x zoom in the camera app

and autofocus is focusing on near objects (<1 meter)

, such as something on the desk I'm sitting at, it will default to main lens with digital zoom,

2. while still in the 5x zoom mode, if I turn the phone around

and autofocus acquires focus on the opposite end of the room (~7 meters)

, the app will automatically switch to the periscope lens,

Which brings me to the conclusion, that:

1. the periscope lens has a minimum focus distance significantly greater than the main lens,

2. if you try to use zoom level of 5x and above, while focusing on an object relatively close to the camera (something up to 1 meter), it will fall back to digital zoom with the main lens, as the periscope lens is unable to obtain focus on such short distance

3. if you want to confirm this, avoid the automatic lens switching and make sure your periscope lens is operating correctly, you can use the Pro mode in the camera app, select the periscope lens manually on the right side (here it's called TELE 5X), and play around with it

[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] haxzion:
Hey guys im currently testing some customs roms, since stock roms after A8.1 suck and i would like to know how to backup my phone.

I am using TWRP 3.5.0_9-1 Unofficial and in Backup menu i can see many partitions.I thought i should backup Boot/System/Data but im not sure.

I would also like to know if i can backup a stock rom the same way.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IkkeZelf1000:
As far as I know, there is no TWRP capable of decrypting your partitions so I think making a backup of stock is not possible.

If you have a custom ROM without encryption, you should backup at least boot/system/data but backing up the other partitions as well can't hurt.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] haxzion:
To my understanding that specific recovery can decrypt my partitions.It just asks me for my pin and once i enter it i can see all my files.I am using LOS 18.1 btw and it is encrypted.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IkkeZelf1000:
Then the encryption on LOS is probably different from the stock encryption. Because all recoveries I tried on stock were unable to decrypt.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IkkeZelf1000:
One question: are you also using Android Auto on LOS18.1? If so, does it work?

I'm looking for a custom ROM where AA works but every single one I tried fails to connect to my car. Only stock makes a connection to my car.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] haxzion:
I got a 95 Civic VTI so i wouldn't know about AA :p

But bluetooth works just fine.I also tested many stock roms but i got bluetooth pairing issues except Android 8.1 based Roms.

This is where i got TWRP and the dev states that decryption works and it does at least on custom roms i don't know about stock.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] IkkeZelf1000:
When using a custom ROM, the phone connects just fine for calling, music streaming etc (via bluetooth) but it won't connect via the USB cable for Android Auto.

Thanks for your input anyway.

Is it laggy? Is battery better or worse than on 9.1?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Ragazzza:
And does Huawei P20 have official dark mode on EMUI 10?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] xEpIc:
yes with android 10 and 10 is faster than 9.1 but 9.1 have better battery life
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jimenezshown:
last time I updated my phone to android 10 (.161), eveything is a messed, it lags and overheats and the camera quality is not good as when it was on android 9.1. By the way, I rolled back my phone to android 8.1 because I feel like the camera on this version is the best for me. I'll just wait for the finale update of Android 10 and hope there will be a big improvement especially with the camera. (Huawei P20 EML-L29)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] jimenezshown:
it has dark mode option though
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Theo1218:
hi! may i ask how did you roll back to stock firmware? i can't find a full ota to download in any place
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jorlin:
Hi!

I currently have the problem that every running application gets terminated when I go back to TF3D (use the home button) or if I use the "x" in the right upper corner. Instead of minimizing the application in the background it just gets terminated... not too bad if you want to keep the RAM clean... but a lot of applications just should remain in the back so I can switch to them after I made a note etc.

Any idea what is causing this odd behaviour?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] der_roedie:
Maybe your taskmanager is configured to really close the apps when tapping X instead of minimizing them. Check your taksmanager configuration maybe?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jorlin:
Well, even if I turn this off within the taskmanager, all the applications get terminated when I start an application within touchflo 3D (e.g. Opera)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] freco:
Opera used to close other applications on my ex mobile p3300. Does this happen with other programs too?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jorlin:
At least it does with me... I am not sure if this was the case from the beginning or if I changed something... probably I need to make a hard reset later to check :/
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] marker6:
Hi ,

me too facing this problem, wonder how come the rest never experience it ? will try to solve it .. pls do post if you have found a solution thanks...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jorlin:
Well, I did a hard reset and installed all the apps I needed and all the tweaks... I think it is a problem with apps that run in full screen mode. Right now it works fine. Odd enough...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] marker6:
Hi ,

can u list the apps u installed and the tweaks u applied?

still trying to figure how come this happened .. hard reset is really something i hate to do argh.. thanks in advance

regards
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Jorlin:
I installed:

- Pocket Informant

- RescoFileExplorer

- RescoRegestry Editor

- MobiPocketReader

- Sanford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy

- Klaxon

- Calculator

- Advanced Config 3.2

- Diamond Tweak 0.5

- Diamond TF3D Config

- 3D Mines (Game)

- Befeweled (Game)

- Resco Brain Games

- Hexa Virus (Game)

- TowersTrap (Game)

- Archimedes (Medical Calculator)

- TomTom Navigator

- Torch Button

- Skype

- Software to make the Input-method change when taking out the stylus

- different BatteryIcon Indicator

- SpbBackup2

Right now, full screen apps like TomTom and Opera usually kill the background processes at some point. When I go into settings or anything else the usually stay open.

P.S: Some applications get terminated after some time... I wonder if there is really a "time of inactivity" that triggers this or if this is random and by accident...

I have tried to installed a 1 freeware:

Sometimes closes when we open new task. (however, its the best i can find for TF3D)

Still Closing Applications Automatically

I've tried all the recommendations that I have come across and I still have the issue of my apps closing automatically. Below is a list of all the things I've tried:

Disabled the native Task Manager within the HTC Touch PRO

Made the following edits using Advanced Config Tool

1) Change File system cache to 8MB.

2) Change file system filter cache to 131072.

3) Change Glyph cache to 32KB.

Changed the "EnableAutoKill" from 1 to 0

Changed the "MemoryThreshold" from 9MB to 20MB

Added programs to "Do Not Kill" list using SKTools (this is for the SKTools utilities but figured I'd give it a shot too)

Is there anything that can stop this from happening? Is there a way to add a program or process to a list of apps to ignore or something? And I have plenty of RAM when this is happening (usually around 100MB).

Help.....Please!!!!!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hankeys:
any progress with this problem??? i am still have this problem, its very annoying... help please
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] danielherrero:
Hi

I fixed the problem. Just set autoclose to 0 and memory treshold from 220 to 100 or lower.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] enrique999:
Hey Daniel,

I have the EnableAutoKill set to 0 and the MemoryThreshold set to 20MB. Initially it was set at 9MB. Are the values that you reference the same ones that I've changed? I'm still struggling with this problem and really hope this solution works for me.

Thanks!!!

This works fine for me. Now my TP can run programs in the background.

Thanks all. :)

MoKee Open Source is the biggest non-profit Android Open Source development team in China, with members from all parts of the world. We follow the latest development from Google closely and improve various parts of Android according to the user habits. Being a non-profit organisation, we utilise our spare time and own funds to keep this passion alive. Therefore, the costs for the forum and servers are solely beared by us. In order to provide a good user experience, we only included a few preinstalls in the ROM. Along with the advertisements in the forum; we hardly get enough to pay for the bandwidth. The point is, those are our only source of income, however many developers choose to exclude them when releasing unofficial builds. Unlike CyanogenMod, we did not accept monetary help at the early stages, as in China, most people do not understand the meaning of “making a donation”. They would think of it as buying a service, which is conflicting with our objectives. Anyways, we still made it until today, and even started to provide third party developers a chance to utilise our OTA system. All of these are the fruit of our hard work and passion.

Hi everyone

I have Samsung A90 north korean version and live in Dubai. The phone is perfectly fine, the only problem is that my keyboard shows korean letters randomly although I removed the korean language from the keyboard settings. There are 2 to 3 app preinstalled in korean language which cannot be uninstalled at all.

My question: is it possible to install a UK or Global firmware in this version without damaging the phone and if so, please explain to me in details how and if possible share with me links where I can obtain its firmware.

I appreciate your assistance in this regard.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ungeskriptet:
I've been trying to port postmarketOS to this tablet however I need some help. (https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_3_10.1_3G_(samsung-santos103g))

My progress: I compiled the kernel successfully (from santos10-dev on GitHub), however due to the initramfs being compressed with gzip in postmarketOS the kernel crashes with RAMDISK: gzip decompressor not configured!, so I enabled CONFIG_RD_GZIP, but now the kernel won't load at all (on both of my tablets). I also tried the maximum-attention hook because the 3g variant has a vibration motor but nothing happened and to be sure that the hook works I took the script from the hook and tried it in TWRP out and it vibrated.

The next thing I did is analyze the boot.img from postmarketOS and LineageOS (from nels83) and noticed that the boot.img contains a file called ramdisk. In the LineageOS boot.img the ramdisk is compressed with LZMA and in the postmarketOS boot.img the file is compressed with gzip, but the kernel crashed with the gzip-compressed ramdisk, so the kernel did load, right?

I also made a 619k ohm UART adapter and I'm getting output but after the logo shows on the tablet nothing more will output. The pmOS wiki says that I need to add console=ttyS0,115200n8 to CONFIG_CMDLINE but in TWRP and LineageOS, there is no ttySX in /dev, so I enabled serial-related kernel configs and still nothing :/

Im not good at programming and running native Linux on this tablet would be so cool! And due to this tablet having MHL this could be a really nice portable PC (even though it only has 1GB of RAM...)

Here are a few logs I got:

You might be looking at the 3G version. The Wi-Fi port also works on the 3G variant (and LTE maybe?) but it really isn't usable with X11 right now although wayland seems to work somewhat fine without HW acceleration. I could only find GPU drivers for ARM for this tablet since it is x86 and has a PowerVR GPU.

oh sorry ive didnt notice that sign on santos103g wiki page saying the installation is the same
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ungeskriptet:
Select the Wi-Fi version. The 3G version uses the same kernel and the only thing that won't work is 3G.

I recommend you to use Weston if possible, as it is the best working graphical environment. Gnome also uses Wayland so it should be also good, but currently it won't start (haven't figured it out yet).

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ungeskriptet:
Hmm. Seems like your tablet isn't being recognized by pmbootstrap.

Does your tablet show up in lsusb or dmesg on your PC when connected via USB?

TWRP isn't neccessary for postmarketOS unless you flash it via a recovery ZIP, so thats not the issue.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philip_rhoades:
Ah! - there were two problems - I had forgotten to turn on USB debugging and secondly I had some dodgy USB cables - lucky #3 worked!

OK, so the tablet booted up happily with pmOS ! I played around with the tk stuff for a while and was able to start Wayland terminals, and the screen looks very nice - but I can't do much with it because I can't get access to anything else and no visual keyboard pops up . .

Also, although it still showing up on my LAN as 192.168.1.105, I can't even ping it, let alone ssh to it . . but still - some progress! I am happy that I have made it this far but is there more that can be done with the tablet now?
