Pie magnification lens gone - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

After installing pie build 108, I noticed that Android finally installed a text selecting zoom lens like iOS. Very useful.
Now a week later, it's gone!!
Anyone have any idea how to get it back?
That was the only thing where I thought iOS was clearly better than Android.

Reflaehed... It's back.

It's a stock Android feature. So.. I fully expect Huawei to remove it

Well I'm on AOSIP as everyone who has a pro should be IMHO.
Hopefully pie will bring it in.

Is it working with the google camera app?
I think I will just bite the bullet and buy a pixel 3 xl. I really hate this phone.

The P20 Pro camera app works just as well. There is a variant for the Google camera app but it's nowhere near as fluid as the pro one.
I have no need for the Google one personally, besides the odd gallery blip, it's perfectly fine..

Does the Google Camera(ported) work on this device?

Hello all!
I want to know if any port of Google Camera works on this device?
Thanks!
EDIT - It is vanilla G6 Model. Not the Play or Plus version.
As far as I know it doesn't work on arm32 software, has to be arm64, I've tried several ports and can't get them to work. Hopefully we will get an arm64 firmware at some point.

It's not bad, but then again I'm not trying to take pictures at a sporting event or something, I'd use my actual camera to do that. If I take a picture on the phone it's usually of something that doesn't move.

In testing today I'm on the newest update I know of and running the one custom kernel available (could be the reason) but I have next to no lag when taking a photo, it takes when I hit the button.

Go to your stock camera and swipe to the left and you should see a blue box that says create my emoji. Click on that and it should redirect you to the samsung galaxy apps page. It's really useless to be honest with you. Animoji for iphone is a lot better and innovative.

Yes they did! I was cursing and saying the exact same thing.. It's just like the device manager that they took from us for well over a year.. They are always messing with something and taking it something.. And if you look at the date on the kernel, they took a good month to pull things. They're not trying to make sure anything works on their silly network.. They are just trying to remove features in the frail "hope" that it will make people upgrade to the new models.
Same thing for security patches.. Notice we didn't get one at all for 3 months, while Samsung had been rolling them out every month steady. All you have to do is either read here in some of the other threads, or simply sammobile. The latter always tells when they're is an update our patch to any Samsung device. And I just sat, read, and observed. They do this every year, with every single new devices far as Samsung is concerned.
They let Verizon do that to us. But yes, Verizon is as crooked a carrier, as a bent telephone pole.. I feel you what though, it makes me feel just the opposite. Why in the world would I, as a consumer keep investing money in a device that isn't cheap by a Longshot as far as cellular devices are concerned, when all they're going to do, is disable features, that the device was designed for by the manufacturer..
It really, at this price point to me is simply sickening.. And I really and utterly refuse....

There is no AR feature in the so-called AR emoji for Note 8. There are plenty of app that can be used to create personalized sticker, nothing special.

Yeah, that's a huge update size. Maybe there are some ,,under the hood'' updates. Let's wait and see what ,,goodies'' it will bring before the Q (EMUI 10) update

Yep, you're right. But as i've seen on Beta Q video from YouTube, beside a tweaked visual experience with slightly altered icons and UI elements alongside the new system-wide font, better multitasking and the camera app redesigned with some more functionality alongside with GPU Turbo 4.0 and the second gen ARK Compiler i don't think we will get something else, at least not for 2-3 firmware updates on Q. But let's wait and see, maybe they will surprise us with some improvements on camera overall

That's why they will launch Mate 30 PRO, with new camera lens and different algorithms and chipset Kirin 985/990 which will support 60fps/4K video and so on ...?
On the other hand, i would appreciate if the Huawei team responsable for camera optimisations for P30 PRO could take a lesson from the OnePlus team, which released 4 firmware updates for One+7 Pro and really done a good job.

A buddy of mine has One + 7 Pro. He told me that since buying his phone he received some updates that significantly improved his photo quality (compared to the OOB firmware). Now we know everyone has an opinion about the quality of the pictures and praise their cameraphone, but apart from the S10 + after the new camera software update, the P30 pro does not have a rival .

I'm too on c431 178 firmware but no update. Would be nice if you can share it.
According to Phone Arena post on Instagram, Honor 20 PRO got the same update size (check link and attached photo). That's a weird and unusualy big update
Could it be something to do with the current US sanctions against Huawei, so they possible could have completely decopuled Android in case Google can't provide assistance in the future?

Nearby Sharing?

Has anyone who has a Pixel 4 XL running the Android 11 Beta (as well as the Google Play Services beta) been able to activate the Nearby Sharing option yet?

I think I saw somewhere that it only works for Android 10 at the moment. My P4XL is on Android 11 and doesn't have it but my P3XL is on 10 and does have it.

I know, I keep seeing the bubble notification thing for messages is rolling out for Android 11 for a week now but I still don't have it.
Yeah, I haven't received the bubbles feature yet, either. The 2nd beta may arrive next week, too, so that's ANOTHER small upgrade I'll be waiting on pins and needles for.
On a side note, I'm actually bummed that I can't hide the navigation bar on Android 11. Apps like Instagram and Facebook drive me nuts because they look awkwardly chopped off at the bottom.
That's a small trade-off for signing up for the beta, I guess!

Question about games not playing full screen?

I just got the Pixel 5 and I'm curious why some games are showing up full screen but most cut off the left side right under the notch? Is there a way to fix this or is it on the developer? It's odd because on my S20 Plus the same games play full screen with no issues so it seems to be a Pixel thing?
Still no solution? Got a Pixel 4a and this is exactly my problem aswell..how bad.

It's not just games. A lot of apps do that in landscape as well, like Google Maps and Telegram. There's a new Magisk module that fixes it though.
Download the module from here.
Flash it with Magisk Manager and reboot.
Go to settings > Developer Options and scroll down to "Display Cutout" and choose the Pixel 5 option.
That's it, no more black bar.

See my reply above. This mod will work for you too, but the Pixel 5 option might not work as well as the OnePlus FHD choice. Try them both to see which works best.

Wow. It is ugly and annoying. It looks like Google is not even trying to fix it. Since I just bought my Pixel 5, I only have 2 choices to fix the issue. Return the phone and get a different brand or root my new phone to fix the problem.
So much for pure Android experience.
