[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
I've seen this happen in low light. The Periscope 10x zoom is f/4.9, while the 3x zoom is f/2.4. I don't know what the optics of the periscope are, but with the extra reflections/prisms the "t-stop" is probable closer to 5.6 for the periscope lens. That means that the 10x lens gathers approximately 4 times less light, and sometimes the phone seems to stick with cropping the brighter 3x lens in low light because there just isn't enough light. Sometimes in really low light it seems to use the main lens as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] GabNeumann:
Sure, but it's strange, because my dad's s22 ultra does not do this, only mine, in same condition. Thinking about changing phone, its my 3 galaxy with problem

Do you think have any way to solve it?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] p40403:
use the expertraw
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
There is definitely some weird logic that dictates which lens it will use regardless of the zoom level that you request. Is there enough light, can I focus, is the subject too close for the 10x lens or are they shooting through glass and the laser misreads the distance as really close; if one of those things is true it switches lenses.. It happens when you try to take a macro shot too, you can't really control which lens it is going to use and a lot of times you get a crop view that is lower quality from one of the main lenses instead of what you wanted. I've played around with it a lot, and I'm still not sure exactly what it is doing. For example, start out with the 10x zoom about 10 feet from something, then move closer and closer. At some point you will see a little jump in the image as it switches to one of the other lenses without telling you. Then back away slowly, and it does not appear to switch back, keeping the crop from the other lens; I don't know when it switches back. Still, it should not happen all the time, especially with good light and a good subject that is far enough away for the 10x, it COULD be a hardware problem with your device but you also could be falling victim to the complex logic they are using.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul McNew:
Hi All. Similar problem. I was taking close ups of flowers using the PHOTO mode... I had blotchy results at 10x. I did some investigations. It turned out that when using the PRO mode, all was well. I first thought that it was some weird image processing that Samsung did, but that's not true. The truth is that the phone used the 3x camera at 10x magnification on the PHOTO mode! I then discovered that it only switched to the telephoto lens at precisely 15x magnification. Very weird. I can get very good results at 15x. But, when using PRO, the switch occurs at 10x. Samsung - what is going on? It looks like purely a software issue? Paul

Update: I've just restarted the phone. All back to normal and as intended. Lenses switch at precisely 10x.

Update 2: No, this is not due to a restart. The same issue again. The switch sometimes takes place at 10x, but if the phone is to close to the object, the switch will take place at precisely 15x. Super weird and inconsistent.

Update 3: Ok, so the switch between the lenses (on the PHOTO mode) is dictated by the distance between the object and the camera. If the phone is too close to the object, the phone will want to use the 3x lens. Absolutely no issue for long distance shots. These switch at 10x. You have to be super carful with telephoto closeups as you can basically ruin the shot thinking that you are on the 10x lens but in fact you are on the 3x lens. The PRO mode does not have that issue, but then changing iso and shutter speed are a bit hit and miss as well.

Worst still, this is also happening on the VIDEO mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] roffemckivi:
For me the middle lens out of three is used for 1&3 zoom and small lens under flash is used for 10x in standard mode. At least kind of, seems to switch depending on distance and also the lower of the three is used for 10x sometimes......

When in pro or expert raw it behave less erratic and uses the lens I choose.

Highly annoying tbh.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
I recently discovered this issue and its really embarrassing. Not many of us will go into pro mode and fiddle but as a simple point and shoot. This is terrible.

I am on the latest Software AVF7. My 10x photos keep looking like trash and there is a lot of light around. But i discovered that if you open a picture within the gallery while at 10x zoom and return to the view finder, it switches to the optical and stays. Has to be a bug rather than a defect.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
It doesn't seem to be an app bug. I am also on AVF7 and cannot replicate the fault. If it is an app bug, then resetting the camera, clearing the camera app's cache and data should clear it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lemonade747:
How to verify if this problem is also on my default samsung camera? As far as I'm using my phone, I saw nothing wrong with those zoom lens, but just want to check to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
Does this also happen daytimes outside and at distances >2 m?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Did all the above and still the same. Sigh
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
You can try doing a factory reset. You'll have to do it anyway if you request a warranty replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] roffemckivi:
For me, yes. Seems to be a combination of distance and light but I have yet to find a logical pattern. Noticed this a couple of days ago but will put some work into it this weekend.

It feels very random but I think I will likely find a pattern when testing it thoroughly.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] roffemckivi:
Easiest way is to cover one lens at a time and go through the different modes, if like for me it uses same lens for several zooms that same lens will stay covered when switching between modes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
Really strange. Because my S22u also does what you described, but only in lowlight conditions or when the subject is too close. And due to focus range and smaller apperture this is ok for me.

I have no idea how some devices can have this mixed SW/HW bug.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] roffemckivi:
We have had overcast and grayish weather witch may have been part of it. Hopefully we will have some blue skies and sun again within a few days. Will try again then to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
If you are not living close to the antarctic circle (in July), cloudy weather should not bring those effects during the day.

...as per my experience...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] roffemckivi:
I'm living very close to the opposite circle so that really shouldn't apply to me. :) The problem is so random though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] josuema:
There is an option on the S22 ultra camera that is Focus Enhancer.

If you are too close to a subject it will auto choose the camera for you. So if you are are too close to the subject when you choose 10x, it will use the 3x lens.

Its the same when you are too close and choose 20x, it will change to the digital zoom of the main lens.

if you want to have the power to choose your lens, then you must disable the Focus Enhancer. It will help you in most case scenarios, but if you dont like it, just disable it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
Guys. i can confirm this is an issue. i did everything, including reset. I sold the device and got another and the issue is no more. If your device took a tumble or even a light knock this can shift something in the lens which i think causes this issue.

As i have seen some said previously. get a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Marcelocohenarg:
Hi people. Sorry for the noob question, but I'm new to this phone. How do you know witch lens it's being used? I'm in stock UI 4.1 and using the stock camera app. Or do I need the ported GCam for this? Many thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Norbertus20:
I also have a similar problem with the camera in the S22u, it also has to do with lenses and strange switching.

On the old note10 +: wanting to take a "macro" photo, I chose the lens and by adjusting the distance from the object I could see on the screen whether the object was sharp or blurred - in this way I found min. and max. focus distance (this is how I took really good, clear photos).

On the new S22u: when I try to take a photo with the same methodology, the phone stubbornly switches between the wide-angle and normal lens, not allowing me to find the limit of focus.

Solution ?: - I take macro photos with the A52s business phone and I have no problem. 🧸
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ZXR:
If you switch off the focus enhancer, the S22u will not switch between the UW- and W-lens at macro distances.

so back to stock i go xD

This is why i dont bother with them.

Edit; How the hell do i get back to twrp now? has it gone? so i have to go to stock and cant just keep my twrp?

really, you guys don't read too much.

you probably change kernel thats why you get locked out. Maybe join our telegram channel so that we can help you with that.

Maybe describe your problem more. Where do it get stucked? What happens when you insert Fp? on Telegram, many members already added their FP.

It is working with A505F just Flash the FN build
[Samsung Galaxy A50 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] santhoosh:

Is Magisk works with this ROM (on A505FN)?

I have OrangeFox with Magisk Builtin but im not sure if i should done the Magisk instalation.

So far I tested Magisk on Stock ROM - works, not working on PixelUI (boot loop).

Nice ROM btw.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] JuanTamqd21:
maybe read Magisk notes about samsung devices

for magisk usage, you need patched recovery(like the one u using rn), or patched kernel(prefferable).

Join our telegram group for more support

I just do a backup and tested if phone boot after magisk finish download additional files - and it works.

Wrong

This rom is really stable (have been using it for several weeks)

It does have a problem where you cant use wifi and Bluetooth at the same time

It just stops working but a reboot fixes it

If you're experiencing several errors do clean flash the rom again

And add Mint Kernel to it
[Samsung Galaxy A50 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] Nashiro10:
Its clear

Set your brightness to 100%

(the slider all the way to the right)

And turn on night mode

can someone please explain to me how to use the magisk that comes with the rom? i tapped on the app, went thru the download, accepted installing from the source, app opens fine, updated app, went to install magisk, used direct installation, it flashed the image that it patched, and then reboot, BOOM bootloop.

[Samsung Galaxy A50 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] {Temp_User}:
Do not attempt to update magisk manager or magisk core. use the installed version. if the module you intend to use requires a version greater than the installed magisk version, head to telegram for that matter.

check out @TenSeventy7 (latest only) for custom recovery. as for root just restart your phone. the installed kernel is okay. However if the above fails, then try twrp 3.6.1 (verified)

[Samsung Galaxy A50 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] olyxoo:
yes, I flashed the phone for the first time and still couldn’t flash it to pixel experience, but I was able to flash it to root rights through the odin application when I did it through Odin, I got 16 GB from 64 GB later I fixed this problem, well, so many days have already passed, I sold it this phone
[Samsung Galaxy A50 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] {Temp_User}:
okay, I did not know you sold the phone, lol. however if you do wish to install a custom rom, you have to do some preliminary tasks such as doing your own research first on how to unlock your phone's bootloader and how to install a custom recovery such as TWRP (team win recovery project) or SHRP (sky hawk recovery project).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] IvanCro96:
Hey so I've got a problem where I wanna connect my aux cable via a dongle to my phone, and all I get is a message ''Unsupported USB device''. I tried the USB sourcing thing in the dev options but no luck still. It worked on a Xiaomi with a dongle with no issues, could it be that I have to have the actual Samsung dongle?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] KlemenC:
Hmm, i also use a aux cable via dongle in my car, and it works without any problems.

It is not a Samsung dongle though.

Looks like the DAC which is in the dongle needs to be recognized by the phone as an audio device...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] ShlomoHazariz:
While Xiaomi phones support dongles without a DAC, Samsung phones only support ones with a DAC inside.

So, the phone needs a dongle with a DAC to output to your car,

The dongle Xiaomi includes with their phones does not have a DAC inside of it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] KlemenC:
Makes sense. Xiaomy obviously stil has DAC inside the phone, meanwhile samsung doesn't which means that you need it inside the dongle.
[Lenovo Vibe K5 Questions & Answers] ExFabian:
Alright, so I tried to install ResurrectionRemix on my rooted Vibe K5 (SD415) using this guide, however after rebooting to system, it gets stuck on the Lenovo logo forever, and the only way I can power off the device is to remove the battery. Holding Volume Up + Power doesn't boot me into recovery, and only Volume Down + Power works to boot me into fastboot. The only way I can access TWRP is by plugging the phone into my PC and booting the TWRP image file using cmd. I also thankfully have a nandroid backup from before trying this. Is it safe to restore the backup? If yes, is there any way I can make RR (or any other ROM for that matter) work without causing a bootloop?

Thanks in advance.

[Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guyanthalas:
Hi All,

I'm not overly experienced with my pi but looking for some support and hopefully will get better with more use.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit), freshly flashed a couple weeks ago. It is running headless, with a wired ethernet connection.

I have installed Portainer and Docker with three different containers. (qBittorrent, Gluten, Zwave2mqtt)

There is a an Aeotec Zwave USB stick installed.

The pi becomes unresponsive every day or every other day. No ability to SSH in.

Historically, the pi worked fine with a similar (though not exact) setup, including the USB stick. This was with the 32bit version of the OS, not using portainer and only the Zwave2mqtt as a docker image.

Would be glad to get log files, but I haven't been able to figure out which log files I need to pull to help diagnose this problem. Where do I start with this kind of troubleshooting?

Thanks!
