My sister asked me if I switched to new phone (Google Pixel 7) when I made my first whatsapp call to her. She was shocked to hear when I told I switched from Poco F1 and this call was from the new phone.

I have not tried any other app, but the front facing video quality sucks without doubt.

Even the photos taken from front facing cam (barring bright outdoor daylight photos) are extremely poor. This has been confirmed by several known youtube channels who are known for comparative analysis.

I tested out snapchat (an app I hadn't used in a very long time) and the image quality was so much better than in Meet. I'll be damned if I'm going to convince my family and friends to download snapchat after already convincing the iphone users in my life to install Duo just to talk to me with video.

Funny thing is Google is actively marketing right now with Snapchat to sell this phone. I keep seeing the ads on Twitter. Decent video calls in Meet are possible on this phone, they just have to make it happen.

I had a telehealth appointment for therapy yesterday and I couldn't believe how terrible my camera looked in the browser-based service they were using. This is on my Pixel 7 Pro.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
I guess its all relative to what you consider as bad, I thought its good enough for goverment work...people I video call with havent complain

google likely wont do anything, its not a wide issue, or even an issue.
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
Poor video quality on Google's video calling app on Google's current phone isn't an issue when the camera is capable of a much better image?
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
yea but thats an opinion of a few...you expect a corporation to dedicate their time to you?

I havent seen this complaint anywhere else but here.
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
I must be asking too much for not wanting my video calls to look like I'm calling from a Gameboy. Meet looks better on the cheapest samsung phone. If this isn't making sense to you then feel free to read my previous replies again.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
and I'm telling you, you are one of the few...google is not going to care what the few thinks.

If this was a problem, it would have been address a month ago.
[Google Pixel 7] futurvisionary:
But he's not one of the few... Google themselves says its a known issue which would indicate more than a few and worth ignoring... It is a standard problem and there are many threads on multiple sites related to it... People dont come here to have their issue downplayed...
[Google Pixel 7] mohan_168:
For the naysayers, take 2 phone hand in hand and do a video call, preferably connected to the same wifi and check it out.

I used my spouse Redmi Note 9 and the image quality was way better than how Google pixel 7 projected.

Simple test, no harm done and you can review it yourself
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
Go ahead and post your screenshots of Meet vs. the camera app, Vio. Let's see what "good enough" looks like on your $600+ phone.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
and what does that prove? I'm not disapproving your point of view...like I said, there are far and few in between, none of the major reviewer has confirm your account so why would google care what you think?
[Google Pixel 7] Add1191:
Is it good?
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
I like the phone. I don't have any complaints besides Google's poor image quality in their Meet app. And, you know, I'm still not over the lack of an SD card but that's just me. It's a good android phone for the money, with some cool features.

This guy not a major reviewer?
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
UPDATE: It looks like Discord fixed theirs in a recent update. Either I'm misremembering how bad Discord looked or they fixed it. Google Meet's image quality still stinks on Pixel 7.
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
Definitely a better experience on Discord now. Video call quality with Google Meet on Pixel 7 is still poor. Here's some screenshots for comparison.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
where exactly in the video are you referring to? hes comparing the video call from iPhone 14, not necessarily saying anything wrong with the camera.
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
You just sound foolish now. We're talking about software, not cameras. Keep up.
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
Another update: Whatsapp looks much better now, too. Absolutely no reason Google can't fix Meet.
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
Spoke too soon about Whatsapp. That still looks blurry.
[Google Pixel 7] Vio281:
ok keep yapping, no one care... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
[Google Pixel 7] goboslament:
Thanks for stopping by. You've been a great help.
[Google Pixel 7] Add1191:
I have oneplus 10 pro i really dont think i can do the pixel again after the second and had the nexus in the past.
[Google Pixel 7] EtherealRemnant:
OnePlus sucks. Their new direction has completely removed any interest most of us here had because you can't even access the unbricking tools without paying someone now. If I wanted to be locked down, I would have an iOS device.
[Google Pixel 7] fivefour:
Agreed, if locked down is an option I say go with Apple. Otherwise enjoy the openness that is the Pixel.
[Google Pixel 7] SharifOthman:
Does this issue have something to do with these apps not supporting Camera2 API?
[Google Pixel 7] Muxammadreza:
The video call quality is not poor, it's awful!!

I get this type of compliment whenever I video call someone using pixel 7 pro!!

What the hell is wrong with it?
[Google Pixel 7] p4ra:
You are totally right. The quality of video call using Google Meet is terrible. I complain about it all the time. I am using Google Meet daily for business and private video calls and I hate it on my Pixel 7. I look blurry and cartoonish. Video is not sharp at all.

It has nothing to do with camera itself, because that works in Camera app as it should. The problem is with the app. I can't speak for other applications as I am using only Google Meet for video calls. But it is ridiculous to see this on Google's very own device and Google's very own app. It has been like this since Pixel 6 series.

And same applies to Pro versions. I have had both of 6 and 7 series.
[Google Pixel 7] mohan_168:
WhatsApp, Telegram, Google meet - Throw anything and the video quality looks pretty bad.

If you not like ZUI firmware - you can flash Pseudo_Global to your tablet. I've tested this way and sharing it here.

Pseudo_global fw was built on ZUI, it has A11 inside and you never can to get some system updates - no one is doing them.

Your data will gone away.

YOU ARE WARNED !

And so:

I've tryed this on ZUI 14.0.127 with unlocked bootloader and active slot _a. Active slot can be checked with

adb shell /bin/getprop ro.boot.slot_suffix

and answer must be _a

If not, you need change boot slot with command in fastboot mode:

fastboot set_active other

And now you can reboot in EDL mode and start to flash all needed partitions from unpacked archive Pseudo_ROW_J716Fl.7z

You need unpacked ZUI 12.6.211 from lolinet https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/lenovo/Tab_P11_Pro_2021/TB-J716F/ for working with QPST Partition Manager.

How it looks you can see in this video:

You must flash ALL partitions archive contains. Files in Add.rar not need, it for any case.

MANDATORY ! After flashing you need at first to boot in recovery and make reset to factory settings, it will format userdata. Without this action you can't boot.

Good Luck ! :)
[Lenovo P11] augustobfe:
It was exactly what I was looking for and trying for days, but following your tutorial I still couldn't, it didn't turn on, I had to upload the rom 12.6.211 again. I wanted to leave it with multiple languages.
[Lenovo P11] f1tm0t:
OK, I will re-check it in 2-3 days. Although I think you did something wrong.
[Lenovo P11] f1tm0t:
Dude, I have some bad news for you. Your hands are crooked. That needs to be fixed.

My method works without fail. It only takes half an hour.

Try it again.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Yiggs:
So, I had left it plugged into the usbc port on my desktop overnight, probably not a good idea. In the morning I glanced at it, and it was doing a sort of charging boot loop, like showing the charging icon in the middle, then rebooting. Before it booted everytime, it showed a red light at the top, I assume because the battery was dead dead from boot looping.

So, I figured maybe I could just reset everything. No go. Couldn't get into the system at all. Kept showing the battery charging icon every time I tried to turn it on, then it would shut right off. Same thing over and over every time I tried to turn it on. Even Volume down + Power resulted in the battery charging icon.

So then I tried volume down + power while plugged into the computer with a different cable and different port, and I was able to get into the bootloader screen as shown. But this is as far as I cant go. I can't get into recovery, it just gets stuck at the google screen. Trying to boot into system gets stuck at the google screen."

I then tried various methods of flashing, live booting, whatever I could find on the matter, and resulted in the following errors, and getting stuck again on the google screen or sometimes staying on the bootloader screen. Is it a fair guess that maybe the flash chip died somehow? Or is that a bit out there? Only guessing that cuz usbc port on computer, less regulated than the standard chargers, idk just a theory. I've never had a problem like this before, but also never left a phone in that port all night.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
Fortunately, your bootloader is unlocked, so your chances of fixing this are pretty good.

Please provide more information about the circumstances. Are you running a custom ROM?

From the logs you posted, it appears you're trying to flash incorrect firmware. A/B slot devices like the Pixel series do not have bespoke recovery partitions; the recovery kernel is contained in /boot, along with the system kernel. If you flash a recovery image to /boot, your device will only boot to recovery. Generally, the proper way to use custom recoveries on these devices is to live boot the recovery image; do NOT flash it.

As far as reflashing your phone, make sure you're using the correct firmware. The firmware for your device is here, notice the code name "marlin". Direct link for the latest firmware is here.

Make sure you are using the latest ADB Platform Tools.

If you need more information, please see my guide on the Pixel 3 here, as the concepts involved are exactly the same; the only difference is the firmware. Please note that the Android Flash Tool only works with Pixel 2 and newer.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Yiggs:
Hey thanks for the reply, soo, I followed all steps of any guide I came across. When I try to just boot any twrp recovery, it will show the TWRP logo loading, and then go black, and try to boot up normal, getting stuck at the google screen again. Anything I've tried usually ends up back at that frozen google logo.

It's generally easier to provide help if I know what's going on. Please answer the questions I asked.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] Yiggs:

Hello everyone,

I am new to the joys and frustrations of the Window Mobile world so please forgive my ignorance as I am a very new user. I live in Japan and just picked up the new NTT HT-01A (http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1564) and would like to flash it with a custom ROM to help improve performance and also have everything in English but I have a few questions that I hope someone can help me with.

1/ Can someone please point me to a resource/how-to guide on creating a ROM? I would like to take a ROM image of the current NTT setup before I do anything to the device. I used spb Backup but am not sure of that is the same thing as creating a ROM. I will be more than happy to post the base NTT WM6.1 ROM on the Wiki page or share it with anyone that wants to look at it.

2/ NTT DoCoMo has a dialer called Mopera U that is used for Push mail and the devices uses to connect to the Internet. After I flash the device with a custom ROM, will I need to install this application in order to access the Internet? If so, is there a way to get that application with all the settings off the current ROM?

Thank you in advance for your help. I am looking forward to enjoying my new device to its fullest with a custom ROM.

:)

Fingerprint Support is dependend on the Firmware. Use the latest Firmware version available, or the version that's specified by your Custom ROM maintainer.

Firmware can be found on xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

Don't confuse Firmware with ROMs on that website, the Firmware weighs only about ~150 MB
[Touch HD General] owen.cullum:
OK at the risk of starting a flame war I want to ask for some objective feedback on the HD. I tried the HD in a shop today for about 20 minutes and I was quite disappointed. (I have a HTC tytn so I used my experience over the last 18 months with that as a reference.). My brief conclusions

(a) The screen is big with a lot of detail as everyone says but its not as bright as the iPhone, G1 or blackberry Storm. Also the blacks are a bit murky so the constrast is not as good as the iPhone, G1 or the Storm.

(b) The interface felt very "laggy" with lots of freezing. (I've subsequently found a thread here on XDA-Developers where there are many compaints of freezes for several seconds - the unit I tried in the shop belonged to the Sales guy and had been up and running in less than 1 day with nothing extra installed on it - I ended up showing the sales guy how to do some things ! ) Certainly TF3D was no way as "slick" as the iPhone or the G1. When trying to browse the web the HD I perfered the G1 when if on the HD I could see more !

(c) One of my requirements is basic operations should be possible with one hand. The lack of hardware buttons and a D-pad / trackball or scroller seems to make that difficult? For example, it was difficult to take a decent close up picture of someone as you have to press the screen which moves the HD and so causes a loss of focus. On the third attempt I gave up trying to take a decent picture.

(d) For such a big screen TF3D makes inefficient use of the screen. I was particularly disappointed with the music player. I got the impression that rather than focus on functionality HTC really wanted to make things look good.

Overall I was dissappointed. I really want to get rid of my Wm5 based Tytn but it looks like I might have to look at something else

Please convince me otherwise !

Can those of you who've had real experience (I.e. for than a couple of days - where you are in the honeymoon period) provide some feedback on the HD?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
not going to convince you to change. i suggest you stick with the Tytn and you'll save yourself a lot of second guessing and heart ache. based on a-d above, the HD is not for you. :)

I have N95 for 15 Months and i thought i would never change phone again till iPhone 3G came out so i decided to upgrade.

At the same time my brother just bought Touch Diamond and I have to admit that I really hate the Diamond since the first few mins of playing with it. Laggy.. Sloppy.. Jerky.. Slowly.. Whatever u called it, Diamond has it all.

But now my brother decide to get a Touch HD, hoping that it will lift up our feeling some way some how, and he is right.

He got a phone last week and i have to say.. "It is in a different league with the iPhone"

Now i have to order another one for myself. Hope it will arrive soon ^^
[Touch HD General] 69reichertm:
Sorry but you are not right

By the way - the iPhone is indeed better because of the better OS

But also the HF Screen has not such a good contrast and has moires from different view angles ...

when you work for some days with the HD the iPhone screen shows pixels.

The HD screnn with th perfect resolution is much smoother

The HTC Touchflow SW is after a long time on devices quite fast ans very good ( not as good as iPhone OS ) - the only lag is that many functions are missing and HTC does not offer updates regularly to older devices.
[Touch HD General] ducatisto:
annoying & ridiculous...

sorry ... BUT it really IS annoying to read so many threads where people are just complaining that the HD 'doesnt meet this and that and...' - whats the use in it ?! Everyone needs different things in a device, you wouldn't want my kind of shoes or trousers or car or whatever!!

So I don't give a s*** what anybody else has to say about the HD - I tested it for MYSELF, I found it to be excellent for me, I bought it two weeks ago, I do lots of flatrate-HSDPA'ing, business use 12 hours/day, permanent exchange sncy'ing, blablabla...my HD truely rocks. Simply said: theres nothing *I* miss - if you do, buy something you like.
[Touch HD General] owen.cullum:
First of all. Thanks for the feedback so far. I'm sorry that some of you seem to be overly defensive. What I am trying to get to the bottom of is that my short experience of the HD is at odds with the many many reviews of the HD on the web.

There are endless comparsions with the iPhone but I don't recall any mentioning the screen being not as bright or that the HD has a very "laggy" interface. The point is that the reviews hold up the iphone as the benchmark and generally give the impression that the HD is close in terms of touch sensitivity and better in terms of screen. I was therefore surprised when i got my hands on a unit to not get that impression in those areas. I am aware of the fact that the Iphone can't multi-task, has no FM radio, has locked down applications, video recording problems, poor support for MS office attachments etc etc. So I'm not that interested in it - its too restricted for me!

So what I'm trying to understand is why my, albeit, short experience is different.

So the questions remains guys.

Can you load a theme or change a setting to change the way the screen looks ?

(EagleSteve - I'm just reading that 49 page thread you refered to and I note the äuthor of the thread states - "I think Touchflo is just too "black" for me, not sure if it will run with a brighter skin or not, but I like the way PocketPlus makes a device look, much brighter" - So that suggests a possible fix to my concern of the screen being not as bright as I expected)

Is the lack of hardware buttons actually a problem or does the large touch screen make it a non issue in practice?

Do you have laggy behaviour ? Is there some App or setting which everyone loads to get rid of the "laggy" behaviour? For the me the real show-stopper is probably the laggy behaviour - I need to know how much of a problem it is in practice.

Thanks for the feedback
[Touch HD General] Rizlo:
I don't know... my unit isn't laggy at all, tflo is flying, the only issue I have is about video playback. But this is going to be solved with the next CorePlayer release, I hope.
[Touch HD General] K_Hismoom:
The laggy behaviour obviously depends on what ROM you have.

I for myself do not experience lags on my device.

EDIT: As for the themes. Giznetic has already made some. Check out this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=451731
