I like to use the front camera to take pictures of me. In the phone all the pictures look good and are ok to send as mms, but downloaded in the pc look horrible. The size it's ok to me but squares appear on the pictures, it looks like a drawing.
It seems that the front camera take good pictures but then applies some kind of data compression.
Any idea/customizing to solve this?
Many thanks in advance.
I got my s730 3 days ago and I still can't figure out how to use the front camera can anyone please show me how to do it???
When you are in camera mode press left button (menu) and in the middle icon (its like a camera) select the third option.
1. The volume button and power button are too close together. The amount of times I went to reach the power button to turn off the display and accidentally took a screenshot by pressing power and volume down together.
2. The back is way too slippery. If the phone is on my bed and and leaning on the mattress slightly, the phone moves. Even just tapping the screen to navigate makes the phone slowly move away. Have to keep putting the case back on.
3. Gloves don't work with the front mounted sensor button. Not really blaming Huawei for that, but if out and about and gloved, you can't press the home button as the sensor won't work. I disabled my navigation bar which is the main reason I got this phone for full screen real estate. Thank God I can add the Navigation Floating Dock on the Quick Tiles so I can enable and use that when gloved and out.
4. Battery is good but not what I was expecting. Same as my Mate 9 battery life and yet I thought the Kirin 970 was 50% more efficient than the 960.
5. Wish camera had more slow motion speeds.
6. Persistent Android System notification but that's an Oreo thing and not a Huawei thing.
Having said all that I love this phone and it's the best phone I ever had.
Only had mine two days so more annoyances will probably come to light.
Agree about the power/volume button positioning.
Also since I've got a glass screen protector on it, it's a bit harder to access the sensor (have to press down into it) which is a bit annoying since it's my main means of navigating back and home as well as unlocking.
Infact the same sensor/button being used for both back (short press) and home (long press) is also awkward as I frequently do one when I mean to do the other.
Finally, it seems a bit complicated seemingly with multiple apps and settings for the same thing (though I am coming from Windows Mobile which might seem simpler as it didn't have many apps)
Agree great phone though (probably my best ever also)
I just got my mate 10 (alp-l29,black,4gb) from UAE.
1. Inability to theme notification/quick toggle area - stays black no matter what theme you apply. Looks out of place considering all notifications except spotify are light/white themed.
2.home button with 3 functions is not as easy to manage as I thought, but I will have to get used to it, since i aint giving away screen real estate and use on screen buttons on this monster.
3. Display settings in regard of View Mode and Text Size are not perfect, meaning that View Mode setting does not change size of text for notifications and they just look to big unless you use small text, but then again small text and default viewing area makes other areas look to big like whatsapp, chrome and so on. the best setting for perfect view View Mode - Small, Text Size - Normal, while taking into account that in such combo your notifications will be large/too large to fit notification are when you receive 3-4 messages/emails.
Otherwise I love this phone. Its fast, lag free. Kinda fat, but in combo with the weight, I like how it sits in my hand.
For the first time I quible only about thickness. Anything over 8mm feels a little thick...

Well to update my post, I just tried with a very thin pair of unlined black leather gloves I own and in fact the sensor button DOES work while gloved. So I can press it to go back and forth and navigate as usual. It does not work with fingerprint recognition apps/phone unlocking of course, but once you are in, they do work.
FYI they are a UK brand: Dents Extra Soft 3000 silk lined gloves but I ripped out the silk lining to make them unlined and for more flexibility and thinness and to work with the sensor. ?

UPDATE.
I found a solution to this issue where none of the combinations of View Mode and Text Size settings give you ideally looking system, meaning not too large or not too tiny. At default everything looks to large IMO and they should done better on qhd 6.0” screen. If not by default, view mode needs 5 not 3 steps.
So far the best I got is with this combo of settings:
1. View Mode and Text Size at Small;
2. Dpi @392 (under Developer Settings).
With this settings I believe the text size and viewing area is appropriate for qhd 6” screen.
For me,
I simply hate the single button implementation. Especially for recent task action, sometimes it ends up detecting my swipe as a tap, and going back accidentally
If one button is indeed a must, then i prefer the Meizu style implementation, where i can simply swipe up from bottom screen to access recent.
Current huawei implementation is too slow to my liking, not to mention, its a waste of space, since we can actually put something next to the button

I thikn the one button is great. but the beauty of android is that you can simply change to something like Nova Launcher and get this swipe-up-for-recents functionality :good:

Well that might be true if we are on home page,
But if we are still using an app, swiping up will only do scrolling :silly: , and the point of getting into recent screen is of course, for switching between app
Also,
I kinda expect by this time, huawei would already implement off screen gesture. At least for skipping song,
I mount my phone on my car center dash often, using maps and streaming spotify,
Without off screen gesture, its too troublesome, since i need to reach the phone while driving (not to mention its dangerous)
Because of this, now most of that job done by my Meizu Pro 7
They already implement "Knock & Draw" feature to launch app, so i dont see why they still cant get offscreen gesture
I miss the double tap to wake.
Do you have an app for this ?

Don't need that for Mate 10. Its one tap on fp to wake.

Yes. I missed double tap to wake. Huawei should not remove the set data limit feature as well.
I overall like the phone but couple things
Camera is disappointing. Not as good as expecting. I do believe it's the software side letting it down. I was more impressed with the pixel 1 and HTC u11 camera
Battery life could be better. It's good but should be better with the battery size. Again seems needs more software tweaks. Inside just browsing with WiFi I can get up to 7-8 hours SOT. it just seems when I'm at work. I use a little sat nav and mobile data and a bit of music streaming it drains quickly. Just as quick as phones with smaller battery's
The software. I like emui . I like it a lot more than I thought. But it definitely is a bit buggy here and there ..again software updates could improve this
Another really picky thing...even though I really can't notice this isn't a 2k screen and is 1080p and it's a gorgeous screen. It still would have been nice to have the option. Especially since all flagships at this price and above have 2k screens

I thought data limit is still there? In mobile data setting.
Or are we talking about different thing ?

- I don't know... different people report different experience. I mean some people are getting a lot of SOT and some not. which is quite confusing.
- also, the same regarding the camera, some say it is amazing some say not that good, check this post, what do you think about it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/how-to/mate-10-vs-pixel-2-xl-camera-t3707909
according to these pics, Mate 10 definitely wins over pixel 2 xl !
well these 2 things are what is going to make me buy the mate 10 in few days. so i was looking for reviews around the web to make up mind.

The camera definitely isn't bad. But hasn't given me that wow factor. Especially in low light. Like I said I think after a couple software updates things will improve slot. No doubt the battery is good but could be better considering the Battery size
I've switched from One Plus 2 to Mate 10 and I think the Mate 10 could use some gestures,like hold home button to lock the phone etc. Right now, it's just pressing the power button to lock the phone. Bugs me.
The other thing i've noticed is that, there's no dark theme on Mate 10, but there's dark theme on the Mate 10 pro. Besides, another thing that irks me is the fact that we can't mute the shutter sound in 3rd party apps even when you're in silent mode. Like if my phone is in silent mode and I want to send a pic using the whatsapp camera, i can't disable the sound.

That's because the Mate 10 Pro has an OLED screen and white backgrounds consume more power, so they give you the option to use black backgrounds to save power. The standard Mate 10 has an LCD screen and white backgrounds be are not an issue.
The always on display which doesn't display any useful notifications is quite annoying.
Hello everyone,
new to the forum. A question brings me here
I bought a Huawei P20 Pro a few days ago, I am all set up and I really like it! However, bearing in mind the camera was the main reason I purchased this phone I am having troubles. A few photos I have taken seem to be really focused in some areas but a tad blurry in others. I have looked in the settings and I have also noticed "master AI" is not there, not just turned off as per updates I have read about but not there at all in the settings!
I am on the latest update available in the UK, can anybody advise please?
Kind regards
first, open the camera app and make sure the "photo" mode is selected. then, click the setting icon on the top right. Setting menu will comes up and under "Capture Settings" you will see a switch to turn on/off the Master AI. Apart from that, there is no other Master AI settings. And you won't see the Master AI switch if you're in different mode such as "Video" or "Portraits"
Thank you, I actually reappeared after a hard reset of my phone.
Couple of questions, any tips on a very novice photographer? Basically best settings for general point and click with minimal settings changing?
Secondly, the plastic/tempered glass lens covers you can get to protect the camera lens. Are they needed? I gather the camera lens is built well for anti-scratch? Also I assume these lens covers would likely ruin the actual photo even if protecting the glass?
Hi
I just updated my Note 9 with android Pie and my favourite function for editing photos is missing now.On oreo I had the option in photo editor to add another picture to my actual photo when I wanted to edit...now this editor doesn't have this function to insert a picture to the actual photo ...Is anything missing here, or is just me?
I Still have the option to add another photo in a photo. In Samsung Galary edit the picture, pick to add a sticker and choose your second picture.
Thank you..I thought they removed this option.
Photo editor pro
You can add only stickers but no photo from gallery;( Anybody knows how to fix that????
Its ridiculous. I was hoping this was because I was on pie beta. Apparently not. They keep cutting little tweaks and features here and there.

The new Photo editor sucks. No blurr function anymore. Inserting pics was easy before and had a lot of tweaking options. Now.. we have stickers.. Note 9 is not a phone for children.. the new photo editor affects my business. I must now edit pics with a third party software. Thank you Sammy.

People need to make noise over at Samsung fourms or direct msg Samsung via members app! ONE UI PIE 9 has taken away so much.. it's a becoming a joke!
Great... I thought i wasn't going mad, just really disappointed it's gone, it was extremely useful.
Option is not gone, just hidden.
You just need to go under stickers. On the default page by the calenders and such there's one that looks like a white square with rounded corners. Choosing that will open the gallery and allow you to insert an image.
Why we dont have an assist to prevent rotate images and stickers while scaling them. They always rotate!
Where is this "calendar" icon in stickers? I'm not finding it on my note 9
this update sucks, does anyone know how to adjust the "Effect" like "cartoon there use to be an adjusting sliding bar....I don't have it anymore Please help..this is so confusing and messing up my editing
Thank you guys for helping me find out how to do the photo-in-photo edit! In photo editor pro, where that function used to be, there used to be an option to add Covers- which are blurred/censored effects for thing you wants covered- anyone know if that was hidden and accessible as well or completely removed like a lot of features
I'm using a Samsung note 8
edit it's actually missing some pro features
I just updated today my self and I was searching for photo editor pro for ages, It's actually still there when you view the picture it's self you'll see a little pencil symbol second from the left on the bottom of the screen all of the pro features are there for you to use.
They could of told us though.
Thanks guys, I managed to locate it. I was also going crazy about that as I struggled after upgrading to Pie.
Android Pie Gallery: I've found Photo Editor Pro!
Sorry - but the photo-editor Pro features are NOT all there - e.g. Where is the "Advanced" button with the feature I used so often, i.e. "Backlight"?? Can't find it...
Correction: EUREKA - I found it!!
with a picture open, click the Pencil-symbol and THEN the three dots at the top right where you have the items "Portrait / Point color / Advanced. Tap "Advanced" and there we go -EVERYTHING that was under Oreo.
So the difference is that the three dots when you open the picture do not offer the editor pro, but AFTER tapping the pencil you get another three-dots menu, where you find the functions . In essence: it's just ONE step more than before - I can live with that )
Complete happiness!
Seems like a serious drill down... But at least it's there! Cheers
I can't find these options that I have circled. The 'covers' doesn't seem to be anywhere, and you can't toggle an image that is inserted as you could before, you can only make it bigger and smaller and move it around, more basic than before. Uff!
Hi Everyone,
I love the camera of my MI11U. but there are a few tunings that I REALLY HATE!!! one of them is default beautify in selfie and portrait. taking photos of black objects (tried with GCAM which took a perfect shot). and a few minor others.
Searching here and there, I found a way to turn off and on some additional settings like beautify and some other functions. this will help whoever understand all these settings (not me ), so I thought to share this simple method and see your thoughts and outcomes. ***note that there are some settings are in Chinese***.
1 . go to file manager and go to phone storage....
2 . go to DCIM/camera
3 . make a new folder with the name mentioned below....
lab_options_visible
4 .save and exit.....
5 . go to settings and force stop the miui camera app....
6 . now launch the app.....
7 . go to camera settings menu of the app.....you will see new options available in there....
8 . just turn off beautify in portrait mode....
9 . come back....change to selfie mode....tap on the blue star.....now tap on clear.....
Hope this helps everyone to take better photos.
would much appreciate if we can share the benefits of these settings in order to get best results.
Wow, this is amazing. Thx
Hi Hassanaliyeh , which version of gcam do you use?

I am using GCam Wichaya 8.1.101 V1.4
it is not perfect, original xiaomi camera is impressive with all functions and control of device way better than GCam. but GCam is better in some conditions and scenarios like taking a photo of a far black object or photos of people. with Xiaomi, far black objects will be like a void in a photo and no details at all in it, and beautify is so annoying. with GCam, both are better, but colours are less vibrant and saturated.

The reason I made this thread is to share experience and understand what exactly they do. I really do not know any other that beautify in portrait disables it for all camera modes and not only portrait.
I found the following over internet by someone tested them on Mi10 devices, and some features are not mentioned or were disabled with previous devices. hope it helps at a start.
Internal magic tools : activates internal tools to improve the quality of photos and videos.
Face detection : the mobile camera can recognize the face and frame it in a box to improve the result.
Hide face detection frame automatically : this option hides the box that appears when activating the previous option but keeps the improvements.
Beautify in Portrait mode : Activate beauty mode in all camera modes.
Turn on dual camera : turn on dual camera to enhance photos.
Turn on dual SAT camera – currently does not have a user function.
Turn on MFNR : when activated, the device takes 6 consecutive shots which when superimposed and eliminate the noise from the photo.
Turn on SR : with this option the resolution of the image is enlarged as if the sensor of the mobile were larger.
Turn on quick shot animation : activate the quick shot animation in the app.

Thanks for explaining the features.
Thanks for the tip. One of the options I really like to see is the ability to pick the metering type (full frame average, center weighted average or spot metering). Can be quite useful. Seems like center weighted is the default.

Tried on xiaomi.eu latest weekly and didn't work. There is a modded miui cam in a Telegram group. Can't give TG links since some butthurt people hate me and sharing TG links appears to be against the "rules". Just search up "Sevtinge's Mods". That cam got many more options to tweak for, especially the Leica stuff.
