Ok so I love face timing on my iPod and iPad with friends and family and recently I decided to give it a go on my Note with Skype on my iPod and the results sucked.
First of all I see the image from my iPod's camera in my note but not my note's camera on my iPod which is super weird
Next is the front facing camera sucks, the resolution is so low, I know its a 2 Mega pixel cam but I'm sure its not suppose to look like a no pixel cam. The image is very grayed out its visibale to see but very grayed out. Is it just my phone or is it like that for every one or is there like a setting
Is there an alternative apply or something?

Open the camera app and switch it around so it's using the front camera. How does it look? If it looks good, then you probably have a software problem, or skype problem.
I haven't tried Skype on the Note yet, but I recall it downsamples quite a bit on Android!
Using windows Skype scales the quality in order to keep up with the network's speed.
Maybe it tries the same on Android. Were you on wifi?
How's Google Talk?
Yea I was on wifi and no I didn't try google talk but anyways its not about skype its about the camera quality like when I try for self portrait with friends and stuff it with sucks, can it be adjusted in the settings because I don't think its low lighting

It still looks the same actually very visible gray stuff sorta looks like an effect is applied like black and white

If you mean the image is less saturated, you are right.
I find this more than acceptable for a frontfacing camera.
Did you take all the plastic film off?
I quickly snapped a pic, so you can compare.
Cheers,
Daan
edit: XDA Scales it down a bit! But for color comparison it should do okay.
Yea its kinda like in the picture you showed, its a 2megapixel cam should it suck that much???

Two megapixel is just not that good. Even with a good lense it won't be very high quality. There is just too little information stored.
The frontfacing camera in phones are always lower quality.
Two megapixel is really a lot for a frontfacing cam.
I wouldn't say it "sucks". It performs better than any other frontfacing cam I ever owned.
Touch Diamond, Hero, SGS, Incredible S.
If you want more saturation maybe you can use a different camera app.
Camera 360 for example, maybe that has more settings.
Still, don't expect high quality pics from any frontfacing cam on a phone on the market right now.
i think it looks awesome. i have done video chat on skype on H+ signal and the video quality is great. output from my end is always great both on video calls to the uk and usa. But video input from the uk was good although usa video was poor but that was their internet speeds that was causing trouble.
i have tried it multiple times as my child likes to do the video chat and finds it fun, so we just log into skype on laptop with my wifes account (connected via wifi) and on the phone (connected via H+) with my account and my child enjoys video chat.
I frankly doubt that video could get better on any current phone or probably even laptop for skype video calls.
for reference over 3g connection (i sometimes get 3g but most times get better H or H+ connection) with uploads speeds ranging from 2600kbps to 3500kbps and download speeds ranging between 3600kbps to 6000kbps and my wifi speeds (for laptop via landline) for downloads are about half that and upload speeds are about 3-4 times slower! having an unlimited data connection helps as i dont keep count of the data used now.
photos and videos shot even in a slightly dark room are good too from the front facing camera.
do you have a screensaver film applied over the front facing camera that is spoiling the image???? common mistake on new laptops where people complain about webcam quality but would have forgot to take protective film from the lense off after removing it from the packaging.

No I don't have any film on my cam, I rather video chat over my phone than my laptop as 1 the laptop screen is too big making the picture from the other end really blur and its also heavy to carry around the house. Its much more convinient to do video calls over my note as the screen is bigger than a phone but smaller than a tablet sorta making it the almost perfect size for video chat, I'm wondering is there any alternative to skype where an ipad and my galaxy note can video chat

2MP aint much, but it's a whole lot better than apple/ipod touch .7mp
alternative = tango
fyi, it's gonna look uglier on a tablet. Image resolution expands.

Is a way for me to get 60 FPS video recording capability on my Nexus 6? I am rooted...
EDIT: I'm an idiot. It's been a long day at work. I should learn to search.
EDIT 2: Nope... L Camera only lets me do 30 FPS... hmm.
It is right next to the burst mode on your camera [emoji23]

Everything ending in x60 is greyed out.
Yes these are the biggest complaints about the phone. I had more options on my Galaxy S3 or my Motorola Xoom than I do this phone when it comes to camera and video tools.
Does the camera take a decent picture one at a time? Sure. But compared to an iPhone 6 the software supplied is laughable
oh the other thing that is going to drive you crazy is the focus hunting that the camera will do while in video mode .

Takes a great picture. I love HDR + too. The time lapse and slow motion on iPhone 6 is really impressive though. And I agree with the focus hunting or even sometimes, lack of...
I was at a gig last week. Focused in on the band then decided to get some crowd shots... Then I couldn't focus on the band again. Ruined the vid.
Yes it is very agitating. my boss has an iPhone 6+ and I was shooting video with it and I have to admit, I was kind of jealous.

Swings and roundabouts. We put them both together playing the same 4k video, and the iPhone user definitely preferred the sharpness and saturation of the nexus.

Built-in iOS8 time lapse mode is indeed interesting, though most iPeople I know like Hyperlapse by the Instagram folks
I like Gallus for Android, though YMMV.

I tried all the cameras to fix the focus issues. None don't work best bet is to keep hdr+ on for still pictures and don't move when recording. Or do what i did sold my nexus and bought a note 4. I really wanted to like the n6 but way to many issuses for me. Maybe things changed since it came out but i got mine when it came out and sold it about a month later, i couldn't fix the issues it had nor the time to wait for it to get fixed.

Have fun. My roommate's Note 4 has the same focus issue when he records video.
L Camera can lock the focus and record. There's even a few recordings floating around the Nexus 6 subreddit of a guy taking an excellent video of a low light concert with no focus hunting at all.
Yes it's an older phone, but any folks that made the jump to a 3T able to provide some pros and cons? Are the cameras comparable? How about audio quality? Anything similar to Samsung Kids Mode that limits available apps and amount of time to use? Anything similar to the "dual camera" mode that does a simultaneous selfie and rear facing shot?
Thanks in Advance

software wise oneplus 3t is pretty stock therefore it doesnt have all these software features. you could try to check if any such apps are available on play store.
hardware wise it beats galaxy note 4 hands down in every department.
3T is far better even in Note 5 and S6 in terms of camera quality, see my screenshot all 16MP cameras but 3T beats the 2 old flagships by capturing more details
Go here and test it yourself :good:

Probably sol on the camera shy of finding a 3rd party app.
As far as limiting apps from kids and adults it's as simple as using the app locker located in settings, security & fingerprint, app locker.
Now to answer the last bit of your questions about a kids mode to only allow access at specific times and/or a time limit it's called parenting. If that's to hard then just download a 3rd party app or set up your router with this amount of access time or timeframe as every router has this ability just don't forget to put your phone on a static IP so it continues to work.

Lol.. I dont know how they took a cartoon picture with these phones.
Is it who got all these problems!!
bad camera quality even after disabling AI.
battery management not good while playing games.
display problems in medicore games like ninja arashi due to body ratio.
Screen burn issue after 10hrs of crashlands game only of white color.
display quality quite cheap so lifetime can be expected to be one yr.
automatic brightness adjust not useful.
missing double tap to screen on or off.
finger print sensor quite low.
low light camera is non existant.
I returned this model cuz of screen burn it disappear after 15mins cuz of lcd but after playing game it happens again and only noticable in grey background at high brightness. there were unresponsive touch too sometimes while playing game.
well my mobile seem completely new, was it defective model or basic problems with honor play.
P.s. - screen burn is only noticable for bright white color being open for 10 mins.
Bad camera quality, yes its some stupid cheap sensor... The front camera is even worse. The honor 9n has same front camera n it produces 10x better results.
Battery is really GOOD for me. 4g + volte always + playing games (1 - 2hrs) total usage would be around 6hrs a day n it will last more than 1 day. I charge only upto 80%.
Never had any issue with screen ratio.
Automatic brightness was never good tbh. Its been always like this on Honor phones. Play is no different.
Yes... The goddamn fingerprint reader is just a complete crap item. Its a hit n miss thing and the worst part is i had to add my right finger twice (same finger) in 2 different ways (yes its possible) so that i can open the phone.(it works wonders, try it).
I used to have honor 8 and man it was a beauty. Everything top notch... And play is Top botch....
Double tap isnt useful... You can just lift the phone from 0 to 90 degree and screen will turn ON.
Instead of double tap to lock, you can add a "lock screen" on your home screen.. (tap n hold home screen - > widgets - > blue widget with a lock)
Actually for low lights, use night mode or pro mode with 1 or 2 sec timer. Phone will capture images with more color THAN your eyes can see.
Wow I'm surpised you having problems picture look nice and the front camera best I seen. Everybody say my selfies look really really good super clear. I came from a Samsung galaxy s8 plus and the pictures are better on the honor the front camera on here 10x better than the s8 plus

Ok keep that in mind. Find someone with Honor 9n (that costs less than play). Take a selfie on their phone. (both phones has the same cam - 16mp)...
Now get sad because play takes absolutely crappy pics!
Ibb.co/XXT0LZc honor 9n
Both taken with front cam

No... I dont any issue with screen..
Tbh there are no issues with my phone so far... Except the fact that i hate the goddamn crappy camera...
Both back n front are absolute pile of dog poop when compared to my 3yr old honor 8...
Im gona sell this phone n buy nova 4 or magic 2 when it launches here...
Or maybe switch to vivo v11 pro or mi8....
I compared this with an 6yr old samsung galaxy and it took better selfies with better color reproduction than play....
This is mainly because PLAY is the only phone with which we can adjust the exposure for front cam and has manual control over which spot the camera checks for light source... Even honor 10 doesnt have it.

I really need a budget phone at moment, i ordered play from amazon but after like 10hrs of baming i noticed screen burn in white pixels. I seriously don't know that it's cheap display of honor or amazon fault. Anyways i was able to get refund, but i can't decide what to buy now : honor play it's also at discount of 60$ today from official site or redmi note 6 pro or mi a2, the only thing i want is a long lasting device which will work for at least 3 yrs and my budgetnis 300$ only.

For an extra of 20$, you could get v11 pro....
Good sides? Well indisplay fingerprint, faceunlock in dark, waterdrop notch, 100x better cameras... More ram n internal
Bad sides? ColorOS... And only snapdragon 660 AIE
Tbh the only reason thats stopping me from going v11 pro is the COLOR OS.... And the only thing keeping me with honor is Emui....

Only 2 issues with mine
Well for 1 the phone is great I got 2 problems though large apps from the playstore like pubg mobile for example download but always gives me a error message and fails to install and 2 I placed one of my lean buttons next to the fire button and when I hold lean and try to fire its doesn't fire at all
Screen burn is ridiculous! And the HonorPlay overheats over time and that is what causes screen burn. I'm really upset by this as I had thought that this smartphone would last me my whole life But i was wrong.
I'm looking for some "long-term" users that have the phone since release now.
Did the camera get better with updates? (especially the auto focus bug when shooting 4k60fps videos)
Or is motorola at least acknowledging these bugs?
I'm probably going for the 30 Ultra nonetheless, but still not 100% sure if I might get the Pixel 7 Pro.
Camera is not fixed yet and Motorola does not communicate with us. No idea if they are planning to fix it.
Other than that the phone is brilliant. I'd wait until december and see if they fix it, if not go for the Pixel.
Gonna swap phones and never return to Motorola if they dont fix it by the end of the year. Sadly.
I like it. My only problem and a important one. When inside a car peoples i talk with tell me they hear mew very bad. Cant tell why. Better quality on messenger or app calls. Terrible quality when having regular call insider a moving car.

Been using the phone (X30 Pro) for over a month now.
For the price I bought it (~USD630) and at 512gb storage, I would not complain.
- Excellent build quality
- Excellent display
- Powerful and very loud stereo speakers
- Vibration motors are top-notch
- Very smooth performance. No lags, stutters
Main camera - it has better image quality/color science than the Edge 30 Pro but autofocus is slower. It's not slow but Edge 30 Pro's very fast "all-pixel" auto focus is just on a different level. I'd say it focuses as fast (or slow) as the latest Galaxy S22 series.
Portrait Lens - no OIS means, it's difficult to use when you are holding your phone in one hand. To me, this is the weakest point. The saving grace is the f1.6 (probably this was intentional to compensate the lack of OIS hardware).
Ultrawide/macro - not a fan of this lens. I'm ok with it and will only use in daylight shots.
Video -- it's just fine. Also not into video recording and I can use Google photos to edit the video quality.
Front camera -- I think this is the strongest camera of the bunch. Very pleasing (little to no beautifying effects).
Motorola CN ROM -- Even if the Edge 30 Ultra is sold at the same price, I would still choose Moto's CN ROM.
Motorola Device Shield app has all the customizations I need on a phone.
Native app locker, background processing, native app clone, etc...

Video -- it's just fine. Also not into video recording and I can use Google photos to edit the video quality.
Front camera -- I think this is the strongest camera of the bunch. Very pleasing (little to no beautifying effects).
Motorola CN ROM -- Even if the Edge 30 Ultra is sold at the same price, I would still choose Moto's CN ROM.
Motorola Device Shield app has all the customizations I need on a phone.
Native app locker, background processing, native app clone, etc...

It's honestly a shame that the CN Rom has so much more useful features than the Global one.
They removed double tap to lock and hide navbar pill in global rom which is really dumb imo. Makes me question if I'm better off rooting my 30 ultra to get those features through magisk/lsposed

Just stay with your stock ROM. Rooting isn't just worth all the hassle you'll get after your phone's bootloader has been unlocked. Once unlocked, you can't relock it. I think the main reason is to discourage resellers as there is a huge difference in price of Moto CN vs Moto global phones.
Can the phone record video in 4K on ultrawide and tele?

It can. With 3rd party apps not with the current stock camera version.
Hey guys, just a quick question, I bought X30 but Netflix, Disney+ and HBO max don't seem to work at all, do you have any idea of what's happening? Vendor told me to go with a factory reset but tbh I don't think that would get that solved, thanks.

Go to your carrier access point name.... In that select apn protocol to IPv4....
It's a network carrier problem... It worked for me in past ... And hopefully for you too

Hey buddy! I don't know if you could be so kind and attach some screenshots, have been looking for IP protocol edit or something like that on carrier options, thanks!

Thanks bro! Already tried it out, selected that and rebooted but still same error message :c
I just recently became a proud owner of this phone, but the first thing I noticed right off the bat was that the buttons are not as clicky and tactile as I'm used to being, coming from the OnePlus 6 I can definitely say the button feels a bit stiff and quite mushy, I'm using it with the default silicone case. Is it just me?
I think it all comes down to personal preference since I like more mushy buttons, not a Big fan of clicky ones :c

So it's not something to do with my specific unit I guess.
Nope, mine's mushy as well
Hello my dear friend: do you have any idea how to make the exposure last more than a minute in astrophotography with the Motorola edge 30 Ultra? Is there any option to increase the time or to be able to modify it, can you enable it?

Been using the phone (X30 Pro) for over a month now.
For the price I bought it (~USD630) and at 512gb storage, I would not complain.
- Excellent build quality
- Excellent display
- Powerful and very loud stereo speakers
- Vibration motors are top-notch
- Very smooth performance. No lags, stutters
Main camera - it has better image quality/color science than the Edge 30 Pro but autofocus is slower. It's not slow but Edge 30 Pro's very fast "all-pixel" auto focus is just on a different level. I'd say it focuses as fast (or slow) as the latest Galaxy S22 series.

if you didn't sell the device (I hope so), you are using this device for almost 8 months now.
I am planning to buy the CN version (X30 Pro).
Can you take some time and share your long-term experience, please?
One thing I am worried about that, in some youtube reviews they say, the metal frame on the side is really sharp which makes it kinda uncomfortable to hold. Is it true? If yes, how much uncomfortable/annoying is it? Actually ,I want to use this phone without any case.

That's right, a sharp frame is present. It didn't bother me much but not everyone might like it, it's pretty obvious...
