I contacted TB last night and I got a reply from the Titanium Track support team today. They forwarded my request on TB Pro to the team who should be able to help search for a solution.
[General Topics] theintel:
For me, the issue was that TB was failing to create valid gzip backups - which was caused by TB being unable to access the backup folder properly. After a lot of trouble, I managed to find a working solution for me:

Menu

Preferences

Backup folder location

Storage provider

DocumentProvider storage (now select the root of your internal storage - "use this folder" - confirm yes)

(TB will load the folders)

(Navigate to your backup folder or create one)

Use the current folder

Confirmation: Backup an unimportant app, clear it's data and try to restore data from the backup. It worked for me.

Maybe it'll work for you too.

I've been on Youtube for the last hour reviewing magnetic qi car chargers.

Obviously, they all differ considerably for each phone.

I'm looking for one that just has a flat front surface with no arms or clamps, so this means that a magnet of some kind has to go on the phone cover that I have on my P5.

There are vent and windscreen mount versions, I'm looking for one that is as unnoticeable as possible, so forget the windscreen mount type.

Has anyone got any experience with one of these. Whatever I get must not interfere when charging my P5 on the Google Pixel Stand.

Thanks

How is your phone going to stick to a magnetic mount?
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
With a metal plate inside the phone cover, placed carefully so it does not interfere with the wireless charging on my Pixel Stand and whatever I get for the car. I've had a normal magnetic mount in the car before using this method and it did not interfere with the wireless charging, as long as its placed properly.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] jallenhayslett:
The problem with the Pixel 5, and, to some extent, all phones with wireless charging, is that the location of the space for positioning the metal plate is either at the very top or the very bottom of the phone, thus making the phone either very bottom heavy or top heavy and prone to sliding and slippage.

Apple's MagSafe gets around this because their magnetic mounting system is built around the charging coil so as to not interfere with charging and provide a multipoint magnetic connection that is centered, more secure, and stays in alignment.

The only alternative that I've found that works for Android phones and works well is a system like the Mous Limitless system of cases and accessories. I've been using their case, card wallet, and charger mount for about a month now and they are great. If you want more info on them you can just read my post in the thread below this one where I detail my experience with their products. They also have their own info and explainers on their site at mous.co.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
Thanks for that and the mous info, funny, I was looking at their products online just last night. I think I'll have a closer look.

Cheers
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
Actually, just one other question, does the Mous cases work perfectly with the Pixel stand ? If I go down the Mous route, I have to do my research thoroughly, because a case and a car qi charging pad is not cheap !!
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] jallenhayslett:
I would imagine there would be no magnetic attachment compatibility if the phone attaches to the Pixel Stand magnetically, but, as far as wireless charging, to the best of my knowledge it does not interfere with any other wireless charging devices.

I have two Anker wireless chargers, one pad and one stand, and I haven't had any trouble with either one.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
Is there a preferred cigar/cigarette adapter to use with the Mous wireless chargers . If I'm going to cough up this amount of money to accompany a already expensive phone purchase, why skimp on the adapter 😂
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] jallenhayslett:
They supply a USB-C lighter port adapter as well as a braided USB-C cable with the charger mount, but I also have an Anker port adapter with USB-C and USB-A and it works as well.

Also, just for good measure, I thought I'd also attach a front and rear photo from my mount, to give you an idea of what it would look like.

Just remember, as per my post in the other thread, if you don't want to use the supplied vent clip, which I advise against as it's not very secure, you'll need a mount from another device with a 17mm ball joint. I previously had an iOttie One Touch CD slot mount and it worked perfectly.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
Excellent information, much appreciated, thanks. I'll update you with my progress.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
Thanks. I have placed my order for the P5 case and the vent mount adapter (my intentions is to try the vent mount, if no good, I'm sure I can detach the mount part at the rear and attached it to my car dash with double sided tape). I did manage to contact Mous and they kindly gave me a 20% code for my first order 😀
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] jallenhayslett:
If the tape method doesn't work, some of these options might. Just make sure the ball is 17mm. They all seem to be around $10, so not terrible, and cheaper than buying an entirely separate mounting system just for the ball joint.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
Thanks, I've been looking at these, should I need one. However, I don't see these with the part that would go on the rear of the Mous charging pad for the ball part to click in to ?
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] jallenhayslett:
The ball cup and threaded nut are on the back of the charging pad.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
Of course it is, I've just looked at the Mous air vent mount....I knew I shouldn't have had another beer !

Thanks, I'll see how it goes when it arrives.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
My Mous items arrived today. The case fits nicely, the car air vent actually works well in my car, but I can see it pulling off the vent eventually when removing the phone, but it's not where I want my phone. So I have ordered a 17mm ball joint from Amazon, so I can have it exactly where I want my phone to sit in the car. I've tested the wireless charging and magnetic strength and all is good. I have also tested the wireless charging on my two Pixel stands and my Anker stand also and they all charge fine through the case. So all good for a while :). Looking at the case in more detail and feeling it, I have high confidence in this case protecting my phone should I drop it. Thanks for the help I've had in making a decision for this purchase.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] 152bobby:
**UPDATE**

So I have had both the car wireless charger and the Mous case for my P5 for nearly a week now and I have come across a charging issue. I emailed Mous customer support about it and got a reply today, which to be honest, does not really help me and I think they almost admit that the Mous products are not all they are cracked up to be. They refer to iphone (which certainly does not help me).They have offered a full refund, but I am going to do some more testing myself, as I have a 2 hour drive to do tomorrow and I "think" the issue I am having is to do with me using Android Auto (Google Maps) wirelessly in the car whilst charging, I'm not exactly sure yet, but I am not replying to them until I have done this final test. I am going to use wireless Google Maps for half of my journey with the P5 on the charger and the other half with the phone just sitting on the charger charging with no Google Maps on.I have copied and pasted their reply below, my original message to them, is at the end of their reply, so read this first before reading their reply and possibly give me your thoughts ?

Hi Bobby,

Thanks for reaching out to us and I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had some issues with your Wireless Charger.

I've had a word with our tech wizards, and they have suggested that you please see possible troubleshooting advice for your phone not charging correctly below:

1. For Apple users: Apple is frequently updating their firmware, which affects the wireless charging system. Therefore some of Apple's own updates could make wireless charging worse or better while they are tuning the software.

2. Wireless charging works by transmitting power from one coil of wire to another, however, the alignment of these coils is very important to transmit the power efficiently. Please make sure that your phone (even without a case) is positioned correctly and centrally, as this will improve charging time and efficiency.

3. Please ensure the voltage is set to the highest possible output to ensure your charger has the best chance of functioning through our case. Some wireless chargers will not have enough power to transmit power to the phone with a case on so make sure you are using a wireless charger that has power from the mains or uses a high-quality USB adaptor supplying more than 1.2 Amps.

4. We will soon be launching Mous wireless charging accessories which are designed to work seamlessly with our cases and will perfectly auto-align the receiver and transmitter coils in the phone and charger.

However, I can appreciate that this is not relevant for everyone, so you are welcome to return your Car Mount if you still wish.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Richard

Is it a slow charging issue? One thing I've noticed with wireless car chargers is that, even when they are getting full power, they can't keep up with the power drain from using maps and other apps. I can't say if this applies to iPhone as well, since my last iPhone was the 4s, and I only have experience with the wireless on the Pixel 5, but whenever I run Google Maps and listen to Spotify at the same time, the power draw and charging hit a sort of break-even.

The Mous charger is a little bit better since it uses USB-C, but my previous charger that used Micro-USB couldn't keep up. I also think heat plays a role in it as well. Hot, sunny days on the dashboard seem to keep the phone hot. Add that to the heat produced from the wireless charging and you've got a recipe for faster battery drain. That's just speculation, though, so don't quote me on that.

All that said, I have noticed it stopped charging a couple times recently on particularly hot days, but once I got moving and the AC had time to cool the inside temperature down it started charging again. I also have both of the vents on the left and right side of the charger aimed directly at the mount to help get more airflow around it.

I haven't seen it happen enough to show cause for concern, but if yours is cutting out that often then it may actually be faulty. If you haven't already, try a different USB-C car adapter. If it does the same thing, take it inside your home and plug it into a USB-C wall charger. My guess is, if it's not a faulty pad, that it's either a car adapter or heat issue, and trying those two things will eliminate one or the other, or maybe both. Finally, just for good measure, if it's still an issue, try a different USB-C cable. Sometimes it's just that simple.

Just a sidebar, if you use Discord on your phone, consider closing it when not in use. I've noticed since their latest update that it burns through my battery to the tune of about 20%/hr when I'm on 5g.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] taymo:
I've been researching this one. It has a heafty price but, reviews have been majorally positive.
[Google Pixel 5 Accessories] _aa_:
I have the Mous Limitless 3.0 case and the wireless charging vent mount with my pixel 5. Had them for about 4 months. The case and mount work very good. Magnets are strong. I've never had the phone fall while driving and it charges at 15w reliably for me. Both vertically and horizontally. I think it's important that you use the included cable and cigarette lighter adapter.

I have an Anker Qi desktop charger and it charges at 15w through the Mous case. Not magnetic, though.

Downside for the Mous is the whopping price tag. I also think the case is a bit bulky but I'm used to it now.

Does anyone have the 10-bit HEIC (aka HEIF) files working on Windows 10? I can view the pictures on the phone just fine, but Windows refuses to display them. They do display fine on my Mac but not on Windows 10.

And yes, I have the HEIF Image Extensions loaded. And tried reinstalling them, and resetting them. But not joy :-(

Is it just me? Or do others have this working?

(BTW 8-bit HEIC files work just fine)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
Sorry for the bump but please guys help me out here. Can someone enable 10-bit images and see if they can view them on their Windows 10 PC? This takes 2 minutes to test.

I'd be grateful.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] latino147:
It took a bit more than 2 minutes as sharing the pic to Telegram auto-converted it to JPEG! Same if I did that from the File Explorer.

Sent by email, tried to open with Paint.Net -> no-go.

Then Microsoft Photos, which asked to to install the HEIF extension from the Store.

View attachment 5313007

Didn't work :(

There is a free HEIC Image Viewer on that same store though.

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] mgbosshogg:
The windows extension does not work. Seems a knows unfixed issue.

Both my Photoshop and gimp did though .
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
Thanks folks for your help here.

I cannot get it to work on Windows either. Same

Thanks!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
Thanks but please can you explain - I don't understand.

What does "Both my Photoshop and gimp did though" mean? Do you mean you can open the images in Photoshop? I can't!
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
BTW - forgot to mention - these 10-bit .HEIC files open just fine on a Mac. It's only on Windows I cannot get to open them :-(
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
Same. Seems the OPPO interpretation of HEIC / HEIF is not the same as Microsoft's. Which is quite a shame!

I also note that since the last update, Google Photos will no longer sync these images. It now says "device only" when you view them on the phone :-( So not only do they not display on Windows, now they don't even sync over.

I do hope OPPO fix this. It was one of the main reasons I bought the phone. Being able to view photos on the phone only in 10-bit is a fat lot of use.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
I note that since the last update (11 A 21), the phone will again sync HEIC files in Google Photos and windows can now open them... provided they are 8 bit. Windows can still not open 10-bit HEIC files from the Find X3 Pro, even though Macs can do so.

So this frustrating restriction still remains. One of the key selling points of the phone - 10-bit end to end workflows - is still unavailable MONTHS after launch. I do hope they fix this because otherwise all of the pre-launch marketing material was basically a lie.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
Have u tried installing heic/heif plugin from MS Store? On my laptop with windows 10 I can display HEIC 10bit photos. On my desktop I cannot (no heic plugin)
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] traycold:
also, I can't upload HIEF photo (10 bit) to Amazon Photos (actually, I can upload them, but they cannot display correctly).

I guess Oppo implementation of HEIF is not completely standard.

Thanks but yes. I have the plugin loaded and still no joy.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] pademat:
Hello,

Looking at posted photos I understood my mobile HW is not defective. The camera SW of Oppo Find X3 pro is quite a disappointment.

In my opinion pictures taken in sunny days are dramatically over saturated and over exposed. Person skin seems made of plastic and vegetation colours quite unnatural.

In cloudy days results improve, but photos are almost always over exposed. It seems SW applies a beauty filter to faces, even if this function is turned off.

With GCam the pics are much better! Unfortunately we lose all aux lenses...

I'm really disappointed. I find unbelievable, no YouTuber ever pointed out this issue during their reviews.

Does someone have suggestions to mitigate the problem with stock cam or can suggest alternative can which can use all available lenses (no root)?

The Blue t-short of my son is almost white, the sunny areas have no details.

lights in the background of the kinder seat are completely over exposed.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Chippy_boy:
To be fair the EV range on those 2 shots is enormous and the camera is faced with either under-exposing the shadows or clipping the highlights. It's chosen the latter, which honest I would expect many point and shoot cameras would do. When I got my first DSLR many years ago I thought it was under-exposing everything (which it was) but it was merely protecting the highlights, which I had not been used to with P&S cameras I used previously.

The Find X3 Pro is probably erring on the side of over-exposure because with a tiny sensor, you need to feed it with as much light as possible in order to keep the noise levels down. It's a design decision and an understandable one IMO.

At the end of the day, all you had to do with these shots was dial in a bit of -ve exposure compensation.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
Firstly you dont know how other phones would capture this scene...maybe even worse.

Im mostly happy with the camera but im not a Pro. Sometimes I take shots with HDR on/auto or with AI on/off which makes huge differences.

You can check out my samples on gdrive: gdrive

Not every pic is perfect but it will give you maybe some comparison with your results.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
I'm going to chime in on this as my partner had gotten an iPhone 13 pro and I did some comparisons camera and video wise.

The iPhone has all this praise of it being great and the photos always being on point macro detail being great to the point a DR used it on a patient's eye 😂.

But in comparison and I'm not being biased here the Find X3 Pro does a much better job at everything, autofocus is instant, detail remains even on distant objects even in pixel binning mode, macro camera there's not even a competition I'm not even joking.

I knew the X3 was a great camera but seeing it against this supposed all mighty 13 Pro that is massively overhyped in my opinion put it into perspective for me.

Low light the X3 Pro is loads quicker, detailed and not blurry the iPhone it's 50/50 if it's going to be a semi decent job or not.

But anyways 🤷‍♂️ my 2 cents
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Lizzo:
Hey, how do I take off pixel binning and get full resolution images?
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] hlhmark:
Select the 50mp mode in the camera app pull down bit :).

But use it in decently lit scene's/area's as the pixel binning is better for darker/overcast etc scenes/pics :D
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] Lizzo:
Duuuuuude. I've literally never seen that pull down bar lol. Thank you
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] sbeee:
Small tip: The Expert Mode produces much better Photos because of less aggressive sharpening (less ugly artifacts in details and bokeh) and more natural color saturation. And if you use the heic format you get a nicer Bokeh because of less artifacts/disturbances.

Btw...Gcam produces really good low light shots. 👍

So if you compare the X3 with any other phone...pls don't use the Auto/HDR/AI-Magic-Nonsens. 😉
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] maxellxl:
Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] kaiserII101:
While the color is fabulous and the dynamic range excellent, personally am quite negatively surprised by the high amount of noise in a lot of these photos. I hadn't noticed that in other reviews.
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] sbeee:
do you really mean noise or rather sharpening artifacts? theres is a noticable difference between auto and expert mode. i'm coming from a P30 pro and i didn't notice any disturbing noise (definitely not more than usual).

[OPPO Find X3 Pro] blackjacc:
you can view all the HEIC Oppo pics regardless 8 or 10 bits on a PC with " FastRawViewer" . Just tested it. Photoshop 2022 can only manage some of them but not all .
[OPPO Find X3 Pro] dr4go:
Just wanted to let you know that I've found two additional tools, which are able to deal with 10bit heic files on Windows (11). Both apps are from the publisher "screen recorder app" - one of them is called "HEIC Image Viewer", whereas the second one is named "HEIC Converter - HEIC to JPG".

Nevertheless I don't understand why the HEIC format is such a pain to use... The companies should embrace it and not stick to the old "jpg". Samsung even reverted back to not allow the automatic conversion via its own Gallery, which was previously possible via the gallery labs. One thing Oneplus does indeed better... we'll see how it develops, but my god... I'm even thinking of giving up on this goddamn HEIC format for good... 🙃 😁😇
