Article: "Galaxy Note 9 camera getting even better with latest update"
This is awesome. I just knew, or hoped they'd update the camera to perform better.
Though I have zero complaints, as my photos are amazing.
Here is a link to a few photos I have taken on the beach. I have no complaints with the camera. But watching comparisons, the note 9 fault is with Dynamic Range.

Android Authority: Galaxy Note 9 camera getting even better with latest update.
https://www-androidauthority-com.cd....com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-update-908343/amp/
Snippet:
"The 302MB OTA, firmware version N960FXXU2ARI9, comes with the September 1 security patch and includes specific upgrades like brighter faces when the subjects are backlit, less noise in low light shots, and better brightness in low-light.
Samsung also says it has improved the day/night HDR control accuracy."

I haven't noticed any major improvement - pictures are still quite soft in particular human hair in portrait mode is an issue the same with noise levels at lower iso, and I agree on the Dynamic Range being an issue too. Hopefully, Samsung will continue the development or perhaps and more likely we get a Google Camera Port from the Pixel 3.
My camera works great. I will believe it when I see it about the new update. Samsung might fix one thing but break another.
When we can expect this release?
My phone shows that it already has September 1 security updates. Will I get this camera ota update or not..

I think it's more likely in the US, we will get this firmware with October security patch.

Good, I knew something was odd about my photos. It just didn't look as good as my previous phones (s8/note8)

The report I read was that it was seen/released in Germany. We'll probably get it next year.
*Cries in August patch and "The latest updates have already been installed"
Time to download DBT stock ROM and flash over my "latest update" XME ROM
Considering this update has been in testing the last two weeks I doubt it will handle the blurring people are seeing on pets. Hopefully the freeing issues get fixed but I wouldn't bet on that.
Maybe I'm a pessimist but I don't take their change logs at face value. I'll get happy when I see results.

Yes, indeed. and much more noise on low light environment .
Honestly everything you linked are of totally different scenes taken at different points of the day it's very hard to do a comparison.

Yes, I confirm. Detailing has become better at night, but at other time...
I'm at 4.2.2 and have taken about 100 pics. I can't decide if they are better or worse. Outside pics seems to be even darker and in pics with both dark and light scenes there seems to be even more difficulties to choose the right spot to focus on, they tend to be either to dark or light.
I'll listening in in this thread before deciding this month Android version

I am also unsure. Have the impression that the 4.2.2. cause a lack of details in the pictures and I have problems with focus in the dark.
Gesendet von meinem A510 mit Tapatalk 2
After viewing the samples, I got an impression that pictures are noticeably brighter on 4.2.2.
At the moment I'm glad that I was patient and didn't throw myself into updating.
Better to wait.
Maybe ROM 2.17... will have a different version radioROM (HBOOT) than 1.29.....???
You guys are crazy. They've turned down the crazy over sharpening over contrasting algorithm in the new update. Shots are so much more lifelike and less noisy.
Some seem like they have less 'pop', but they are much more accurate and realistic.

has anyone in here called HTC because of the faulty camera module and got its mobile phone exchanged to a new one with better camera quality?

I did, but I think it was for a different problem than what the OP si experiencing (I think). I had a problem with blue/red/purple noise in low light scenes. Took the phone into service and got a replacement. Here is the problem I had (and others as well) along with before and after photos:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43265994&postcount=89
The original Honor Magic first showed up in December of 2016 and was one of Honor's less-popular phones. This could be due to the limited availability, or maybe it was a misunderstood phone. The Honor Magic was a more significant phone than you might remember and that's why I'm really excited for the Honor Magic 2. The Honor Magic was actually the first AI phone to ever hit the market. These days you'll see most flagship phones taking advantage of some sort of version of AI technology, but the Magic did it before all of them. This set the groundwork for the Honor 10, Honor View 10, Honor Play, and Honor 8X, which all use the same AI technology.

Now with the Honor Magic 2 on the way, we could see another evolution of their AI system. They teased a new AI assistant called "Yoyo" at the 8X launch event. Since then we haven't received any further information on it, but I expect it will have a lot to add to the current state of digital assistants.
They've also shown us a bit of the new pop-up camera which gets rid of any need for a notched display. We have seen this design implemented into other devices since then, but we still don't know the full details of how this function will work.
The launch date for the Honor Magic 2 is set for October 31st in Beijing. This new phone will undoubtedly set the groundwork for new technologies for future Honor phones. We will learn more about the specs and price at the launch, which so far have been kept a secret.
A few details about the new phone have leaked. We know that it will feature six cameras with three on the back and three on the front. There will also be a curved 2K AMOLED display which is a rare thing to see in an Honor device. The exterior of the Honor Magic 2 will have similar curves as the Mate 20. We also have a look at the color options for the phone.
We will be covering the event live on our Facebook page. Make sure you check it out at 7AM ET.

Hello!
I am using a SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8 Exynos Version 64 gb SM-N950F running on 1 October security patch.
I am waiting for a fix but nothing seems to be fixed.
To explain Black crush in few words: Area with Black pixel where it should show shadow gradient.
Colour Banding:
Gradient colour are not transforming smoothly into another one.
My phone's screen is ridiculously bad to even look at after this. Because let me get straight i bought this to see beautiful AMOLED screen; not to see this bloched screen.
Anyone facing this issue please comment below as it will be helpful.
And please note that a screenshot will not identify this problem as other display's on earth are perfect. So you have to take photo with a camera of your NOTE 8.
I have attached some photos with links to explain it better. This is happening as well as with gradient wallpapers but i can't get focus even on my crappy G5 plus camera.And looks so much worse in real world.
Test photos here - https://bit.ly/2RfLbLT ( Alternative link https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipO0zvyel79IHoE-lvtmTW-yeJDUFIGgLQhAvQLNAGHNMfqegy16G0_a9jE7dHli...

Here is a link from a XDA thread to show how bad it looks and what is exactly happening here.The post is by GALAXY s9 user which is exact same problem for my GALAXY NOTE 8 now...Weird!

Thanks to SAMSUNG Customer Care India for replacing my display BUT the problem still persists. I can't even use this phone on regular basis. I am using my broken G5 Plus. Atleast the screen is not that messed up.
Please SAMSUNG fix this ASAP.
Link for Samsung community thread:
https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5...-on-GALAXY-note-8-SM-N950F/m-p/2963553#M93488
And yes i tried safe mode,disable video enhancer. Those things have nothing to do with this... It's the SAMSUNG who can fix this.
Please comment below if you have this issue.
ended up selling my device for 100$
Hi, I have an ROG Phone II on Android 10 version 17.0240.2108.103, and a lot of my apps have blurry icons when I'm inside the apps for no apparent reason, almost like it's loading the wrong DPI for the icons. Snapchat, YouTube, Google maps, Facebook, Messenger, TikTok, and my Asus router app are all effected in some capacity. I attached screenshots of the apps I've noticed the issue in so far.. any ideas would be helpful. Deleting the apps and reinstalling them doesn't help

BUMP. I see all the views/replies every other post gets, c'mon, someone has to know something about this. I'm tired of everything on my phone looking like garbage

That's what my plan was, but I still don't have any OTA notification over a month after release.
I haven't looked much into updating manually, but it seems more complex than I'd like.
I'll be going for any other brand the next time I need a phone. This poor software support really sucks. I sent an inquiry about the headphone jack not functioning on the fan accessory when using the gamepad attachment, and never got anything useful back out of it.
My first Android phone was an Essential PH-1 and getting updates the same time as Pixel devices really spoiled me. Security updates were always current, as well. Much better experience overall, on a much more limited device.

Update: I dropped the . ZIP OTA file into root, and it fixed all the issues I was having.
It also removed a gesture I liked having to get to the app tray. "innovation" they call it.
Thanks for the suggestion though, I appreciate it! At least the icons look better now
Hi everyone, like you I have a Moto Edge 2020 (The one with the SD765G 6GB/128GB), I know most of you were upset after the official motorola A12 update list and not seeing our phone in that list.
While I read most of the forums, I found that in an official Lenovo forum, a developer said that there are no plans on releasing Android 12 on Moto Edge 2020
As of today (February 1st 2022), I sent a mail to Motorola España/Latinoamérica to get further information about the update rollout of Android 12, and to know if the Motorola Edge will be receiving that update.
They answered pretty quickly and said:

}
Which translated to english states:
Given the technical information at our disposal, your Motorola Edge "at the moment will stay on Android 11. It's programmed to receive security updates. It's planned to update the device to Android 12, but there is not exact date for that yet"
So it may seem that they WILL be updating the Moto Edge to Android 12, but not yet. I personally don't fall for that, but at least is some kind of hope.
One of the main reasons I want A12 is because of how buggy A11 is.
Have you tried using the Edge Triggers on moto gametime? After using them, the edge screen sensibility goes up to the clouds and the only way to fix that is to reboot the phone. There is plenty of bugs and things to fix on A11 that I think the best they can do is to release A12 as the final update and with future bugfixes make that the definitive (or at least trying to) version for Motorola Edge.
Let me know your thoughts this is my first XDA post ever, I hope you find it useful
nice news, sad how they butchered the edge display with android 11, i really like moto edge, but i got green tint, and was too lazy to send it back XD
