[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
Large sensors?

Don't you know sony cannot make a good camera that takes best pictures?

They included physically 1" sensor in xperia Pro-I and geuess what? They failed again as they packed it with 12MPx only which means camera can only make use of part of entire 1" sensor ... Entire world is laughing. What a shame such a flop.

They constantly make flops here and there, many old issues not fixed. A lot of advertising on their cameras used in Xperias and results are still worse than those made by shamesung or apple. And Pro-I has no any proper zoom. But does it hurts? For some for sure. But looking how poor is max 4.4x zoom from mark III not sure it is worth. They should use proper zoom as huawei does with mirrors. Old P30 Pro still has better camera and zoom than mark 3 :/

They had their great 960fps memory stacked camera that was great, only xperia gad it with 1080p. Instead of packing it with software that can combine each of those short videos into one with nice transitions between they did what? Removed it from next xperia...

Sad but true.

The Cinema Pro system application creates 21: 9 images
[Sony Xperia 1 III] decomposed:
Great, you need to start recording video in separate app that in order to take a "screenshot" of 21:9. Not to mention all possibilities / adjustments available in Photo Pro are not available there...

Thank's but that's not what I need.

Looks like it is a huge challenge for sony devs and business to make such decision to add 21:9 ratio to Photo Pro app... + ...

Pathetic.

no need to start recording a video
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
for some reason my colors and themed icons are gone as shown below. Running today's new updates. Has this been removed?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Weird. I still have those options after today's (December) update.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
Found out you can't use Nova and have these options
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Hmm, I'm using Nova and have those options.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Do you have a custom launcher enabled? I know trying to set those options disappear for some reason on a custom launcher, so try using the default launcher if so.

EDIT: I had my reply ready in the background but didn't get a chance to send before you posted your reply lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
So you are using Nova and you get these options like wallpaper colors and basic colors? The rest I have
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
I get the dark themed icons but not the wallpaper colors where the entire UI changes the color to match your wallpaper
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yep. Nova7

EDIT: Ironically, I don't have the grid size and themed icons options.

View attachment 5481841
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
Yeah, nova doesn't display themed icons or grid size, I'm assuming because you can do both of those within the app itself.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Ah, I never noticed that. Actually just went back to Nova yesterday after using Hyperion and Lawnchair for the last few years.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] hello00:
Mine is always black and grey. it doesn't change colors. weird
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I've only ever used nova. It has a plethora of options and even allows you to use a notification count as an icon badge the way apple does instead of just a dot.

My only critique is, when using gestures to go back to the home screen, the icons don't bounce the way the default launcher does. 😕
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Yeah, that's one of the reasons I was using Lawnchair in the past, because of the stock animation support they had for a while. Was using Nova for a long time before that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] RetroTech07:
I just tried using lawn chair and I'm not seeing any stock animation support. I'm wondering if that's a very restricted API they don't want anyone using...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I was referring to in the past about that. Currently on Android 12 it doesn't, unfortunately.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickenpusher:
As the title says, I have a Nexus 6p (an old phone that I haven't used in years) that I want to bring back to life. However, I cannot get the screen to show anything.

When connected to PC via USB and forced into bootloader (i assume even though I cannot see it) my Windows detects it as an Android Phone - "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface" but since I cannot see anything on screen I am not entirely sure what I can do.

I've tried volume up and down followed by power to see if I can boot it but I am not sure what I am selecting.

Does anyone have an clue as what I could try next? I only really want to recover my old photos and video from it really.

Thanks in advance!

What Android 10 source code must be modified to ensure only the main or rear camera is called by any application accessing the system's cameras?

I have built a custom Android 10 ROM for my phablet which has only one camera. I would like to unify the camera on my ROM so that applications which request the front camera (Zoom, Teams, Skype) cannot crash the system and only open the main/rear camera (only camera).

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
The past few years, I usually install the ota manually on my pixels if they don't come right away on my phone (they usually do in CA). I keep my bootloader unlocked (just in case things go haywire) but haven't modified or rooted in many years. So today, because the update was so large (more reasoning below), I decided to flash the factory image and remove the "-w" command so it wouldn't wipe the phone. Done this many times.

So my usual process is to flash both slots one after the other. I flashed the current slot it was on (b) then switched to the (a) slot. Been doing the same since Android 4 (and A9 for a/b slots), hundreds of times. After flashing slot (a), it restarted like it's supposed to. I then get the dreaded "Your device is corrupt" message. First time I've seen this on any of my 4 Nexus and 5 Pixel phones. Okay so I decided to try flash it again, this time with the wipe command (recovery wouldn't work, same message). Flashing completes, same message. Then tried the flash.android.com - flashed all slots, wiped options on - same thing. The " pixelrepair.withgoogle.com " website doesn't recognize the phone which is odd because flash.android.com does. I tried flashing the original image from November and 2 other build versions. Still no go.

Not sure what happened here. I don't think anything is wrong with the latest image. The reason I flashed this image was because I had a thought today - does flashing the "ota zip" update the bootloader and other firmware versions (they were different different versions this update). So I guess my curiosity killed the cat ... I should have just ran the ota first to see if the bootloader/radio versions updated, but of course the ota updates them (or they would never get updated otherwise). Ahh well. Now I will have to deal with the silly carrier warranty circus.

Also - I never thought an update could cause a phone to completely corrupt itself where it can't be fixed by the user. All of these posts on xda/red_dit etc over the years - I really didn't think it was possible. I always thought corruption must have been there before, but now I'm not so sure.

update: flashed the last build from November using flash.android.com and was able to get my system back. 2nd flash for that build worked.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
All you got to do is go to the factory image page. Click on the Android flash tool and follow that it'll bring you back
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
Not sure if I wasn't clear:

Okay so I decided to try flash it again, this time with the wipe command (recovery wouldn't work, same message). Flashing completes, same message.

I tried flashing 4 different Factory Image builds (flashing manually the Factory Image not ota). The android flash tool (webiste) completes but same message appears after it restarts.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
You're trying to flash with fastboot right? Use that Android flash tool. You'll see a link to it in the factory image page. I went through the same thing you did, I got the corrupt device. at the very end It'll ask you to Lock the bootloader just don't do it if you want to stay unlocked.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
Oh maybe I misunderstood you tried that and it's not recognizing it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
flash.android.com recognizes it and it completes but the corrupt message still appears.

I'm going to try the original build from October, using the flash.android.com website - and pick all the Advanced Options, see how it goes (disable verity and verification, force debuggable and flash all partitions). I guess it's worth a try. pixelrepair website doesn't recognize the phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
That's no good. Hope it works out. I had a hell of a time getting mine back too
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
ok what the hell. what a mess. it was weird, long-pressing the power button would never restart the device. it took multiple tries. I've learned over the years to remove the case because it can hinder the restart sequence. But even just getting into fastboot was difficult.

Anyhow it looks like I'm back.

2nd time flashing this exact image, but this time it worked - I used the flash tool website and flashed the November SD1A.210817.037 (non vzw build). I just chose options "All Partitions, and full wipe"(my next step was to try disabling verity and debugging but this worked).

a few reports on red_dit of corruption on the 6 Pros. hopefully Google pulls it soon. if people don't have the "oem unlocking" option enabled, their toast.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
I'm glad you got out of it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] victoraran:
I also had the pixel 6 pro briked when I put the root of the last base.

I have revived it by putting the ota december by sideload from recovery in the adb section
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
so if I didn't have "OEM unlocking" enabled - I'd have a brick right now. just actually trying to help someone else that also got the corruption message and can't get back into Android to enable oem unlock. Recovery doesn't work (like my situation).

What a mess...

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
seriously? the right version? I installed the right version, and others also had the same issue just by updating normally through Android interface.

you shouldn't be able to "corrupt a system" just by updating to the official update build. this isn't 2012... anyway, I mostly posted and updated for others who might have had issues also.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] prohibido_por_la_ley:
Well in the 4 years of me being on Android I've never had it happen.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JodyBreeze901:
I literally just got my Pixel 6 Pro and attempted the December update and got a firmware corrupt. The only options is try again or factory reset. I just finished going through the first time setup and already got this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] yolandabecool:
same
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] morphvale:
Why not just adb sideload the OTA image, rather then flashing on both slots the factory image? It just sounds a bit of a hassle to me.

I know, I used to fastboot flash without -w my nexuses as well, but that was before the OTA images were available.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
yeah it's super rare. been flashing images and ota's since Nexus 4. But it happens.

I usually get the updates right away but sometimes I'll update the ota. I usually reflash the factory image every year after the beta. just seems odd how it corrupted the device. couldn't get into the system at all (or recovery/rescue modes).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Alekos:
apparantly it has something to do with Bluetooth? I don't know how, but if you can get into safe mode and disable Bluetooth, clear cache/data for it and update all your google service apps, it can fix it (keeping Bluetooth off while restarting phone in regular mode) - but I couldn't load Android.

The trick to getting into Safe Mode is this: Turn off the device. Hold down power and and as soon as you see the "G" Logo, hold volume down. it will directly boot you to Safe mode. cool little trick. you'll have to manually enable wifi because it gets turned off.

At this point, if you can, enable OEM Unlocking. at least you'll be able to save the device if anything serious happens (like what I went through). the pixel repair website also works but I couldn't get into "Rescue Mode"
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
That's encouraging. I haven't even used the phone yet. I just got it. It's from Verizon, so it's locked (no fun) and it's still sitting in the box. All this December OTA update chaos is suddenly making me really appreciate my Galaxy S10 Plus. I hope that everything settles down with this December release. I want to love this new phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] kevinireland11:
I had the S10 plus to but I had the exynos version and it was terrible for me, if Samsung had Snapdragon in the UK phones I'd still be using a Samsung, but this pixel is very good, best cameras iv ever had and battery life is top notch
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Galaxy Princess:
That's so funny, because it's the battery life that made me dislike the S10 Plus so much. It doesn't last throughout the day for me, and I don't know why. I'm not exactly a newbie, so I know about shutting down background apps and putting them into deep sleep if I'm not using them often enough. I don't install a lot of crappy apps on my phone like most women do. I'm very aware of how my battery is being used. I mean it's certainly possible that I just got handed an S10+ with a less than perfect battery. I just don't know. Anyway, from the great things that I've heard about the P6P battery life, I'm really hoping it plays out that way for me.

Math Tower

Logic game for the speed of thinking.

You need to add the numbers in such a way to get the target number of points.

But be careful, you have a limited time and the number of balls that you can use.

If you see that time is running out, we advise you to use the explosion to change the circle to a new one, this way you will save the points you gained and get a new circle.

The most important thing is to keep track of the time. The higher the level, the larger the circle and the more points you need to score.

You need to think quickly and have time to react.

If something does not work out, in the upper left corner there is a button "start over" and you can always replay the current level.

Simple Rules:

1. Keep track of the time

2. Use the explosion to get new numbers, if suddenly there are no needed ones on the current circle

3. Quickly add up the options in your mind.

4. Beat the necessary numbers and you will win

5. If you scored more than necessary, use red numbers to reduce the number of points

6. Explosions, lives and time are limited.

Good luck!

I was just curious about this process. 99% of my usage is at home/work. Both of which are within 1 mile of each other. I have a OnePlus 8T Android 11 on T-Mobile. Sometimes I'm on LTE and sometimes I'm on 5G. When I run a speed test on 5G I get 20-25ms ping and 500-550 Mbps down speeds. Obviously LTE isn't that fast but why does my phone even switch to LTE than. I'm not having issues I just wanted to know more about the data management of Android.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
It depends on the 5G vs. 4G network coverage in the areas you are moving around. A smartphone by default will try to connect to 5G ( best quality network ). If for some reason 5G is not available or its quality in the area you are moving is low/bad it will switch ( so-called fall-back ) to 4G.
[General Questions and Answers] Utini:
Does this fallback method use more battery compared to just sticking/forcing 4G?
[General Questions and Answers] Karl Carrigan:
I believe it does, I'm in the UK, and my area is still only 4g, if I have it on the 5g/4g/3g/2g auto switching option it seems to go off 4g piste and hunt for a non existing 5g signal. So I drop to 4g/3g/2g which seems to keep it on 4g and less battery drain from 5g hunting.

Hope this helps....

(I have already allowed it after I insert my sdcard into my phone. )

so why is it re-occuring?

the moment I re-allow it. the phone saying can't grant permission.then it cant read the sdcard.

then when i restart or shutdown and on the phone. the notif says, sdcard issue> tap to fix . then when I tried to format it my phone restarts. stuck at logo, then after almost an hour it was still stucked so i decided to turn it off and on manually. then i cant access the sd card anymore. what i did is format the sd card using PC then re-insert it to my phone. it was fixed and can be read again.

but when i restart the phone or take a screenshot the said problem re-occur . (except i didnt try to format it again using my phone)

my 64gb sdcard got corrupted on it.

then I bought another sdcard the problem always occur when i restart the phone or took a screenshot.

Had my Touch Diamond for a few weeks now, but my love for it is dwindling into hatred fast :(

First of all, I've been having a lot of alignment problems with the touch screen. It'll be phone for a short while, then it will go skewiff, leaving me frustartingly trying to navigate to the Screen/Align setting for an umpteenth time.

Anyway, over the last couple of day a more serious problem has occured. My friend called me a couple of times yesterday and I could not hear him and he could not her me. I left it as maybe somekind of tempory network problem, however today my partner and a couple of other people have called me and the same is happening there. I try to call back, but no luck.

Also, I was late for work today... because I didn't hear my alarm! Yes, it seems all sound ceases to function on my 3 week old Touch Diamond :(

Now I'm left worrying that I have to call Orange, let them investigate and see if they replace it. To be honest, I'd rather have a different model completely. Am I able to get a different phone?

Anyone had this problem?
