Got my X5 Pro Yesterday impressed with 1 annoying bug refresh rate in Google apps...Some of. - OPPO Find X5 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi,
Loving the device so far, Very slick and the build quality is awesome, Camera is excellent! Better than I imagined for a Chinese phone, It feels almost like the perfect smartphone, I'm glad I chose this now and not the OP 10 Pro.
1 annoying issue I have though is scrolling refresh rate in Google photos and the menu scrolling in Google maps is jittery.
This is not present on my 8 Pro and I have no idea why, It makes using Google photos quite a horrible experience to be honest, I can't find a way to force higher refresh rate for specific apps alao, Doesn't look like it's possible.
Does anyone know how to report bugs to Oppo?
Update...
Weird lol just gone back into photos and now it's smooth I have no idea why, What it is still doing though is mis touches with the screen and scrolling, It's nowhere near as fast as my OP 8 Pro and does not seem to be as responsive either in the sense that trying to scroll fast with your finger results in mis touches of the screen not picking your finger up, I hope they are aware of this and it gets fixed soon.
Update again lol, Scrub that it's not smooth in Google photos at all I posted this from my 8 Pro not even realising lol.

I have none of those issues on mine, have refresh on auto.

Auto refresh? There is no Auto refresh it's either standard or high? So the YouTube app is running at 120hz on yours is it?

Sorry I meant high, no I'd say it was definitely 60 when you scroll, but as YouTube has no 120hz content it's understandable.

Thanks mate I'll give that a go sounds promising for now, I can't understand what is so difficult for the the software devs of these modern flagships to have YouTube and Google apps running at 120hz, After all it's what we paid for with these high end displays, Thanks again.

I know. It's a pain. My previous device was an s21 ultra and had no issues with 120hz. I guess oppo do it for power saving maybe. I'm pretty sure one plus do something similar. Try the app worked for me. You'll have to go in to the app every time you restart the device. So it's not a permanent fix but gets the job done.

That works thanks mate appreciate it, Butter smooth now, If enough people complained about the refresh rate in YouTube and single speaker audio in games they may do something about it but as it stands not doesn't seem many people bare too bothered which I find rather bizarre.

Yeah they must not do because surely people can't be happy with 1 speaker audio and low refresh in major apps, Doesn't make sense, It completely ruins the immersive experience in COD mobile can't hear footsteps or where people bare coming from.

Hi mate just to let you. New update fixes the audio issues. Set VPN to France and download the latest version.

Oneplus 3T touch screen latency

Can anyone tell me the touch screen latency of Oneplus 3T. Higher latency was the only deal breaker for me with One plus 3 which was 95ms.

You don't realize until you know it. But once you know it, it is difficult to use phones with high touch screen latency. Check this out:

I don't know how to calculate it but you can estimate it. Enable show touches in developer options and try to drag your finger around. See the YouTube video for better estimations.

Using the video you posted, latency falls between 10ms and 50ms, but closer to 50ms.
BTW, OS 3.5.3 update for the 3T specifically addresses high latency issues.

SGS Touchscreen Booster app does wonders for other androids.
Someone try it and report back
Also Note 4 has an option to increase touch sensitivity in the pull down menu.
Is there an option to do so on the OP3T?
It's pretty sickeningly quick/smooth coming from the galaxy s5, if I say so

That app says "Only for Samsung Galax S up to Android 2.3.x."
App Link to SGS in Google Play
I think the sensitivity of the panel is something different, as it would be more based on being able to detect soft touches.
Nothing scientific of course, but it didn't seem noticeable to me at first. I'm coming from a LG G4 which doesn't appear to have the best latency in the first place, according to this post on Reddit. Since all the posts came up about it I've started to notice it slightly, but nothing that hinders the user experience. Maybe in other cases it's more apparent, but so far in my day to day use it hasn't been an issue.
It works in later phones.
Use it on my note 4.... and it helps improve the touch experience

Entire video made with Note 9 camera

Hi everyone.
I have spent last 4 weeks to make short video using Note 9 exclusively. The idea was to check how far I can get using mobile phone camera only and get result which would be satisfying for YT or even further. Note 9 seemed to me the best for the purpose. To do so, I sent my Note 9 120 meters to the sky attached to the drone, drowned it in a pond and finally travelled around Yorkshire in UK to get some footage. As a result I just published today video on YT and my main interest is to find out if people can really say difference. I have used Davinci Resolve in post production. Colours are changed slightly to make it look “film like”.
I didn't want to make just moving pictures so there is a story. Don't judge me too harsh however.. I am not an actor.
During the process of filming I have learnt a lot about note 9 camera and I believe I could make much better quality video now. It made me sure that it is possible to make quite serious production
with modern mobile phone if one wish to.
I hope everyone enjoy it.
Link didn't work so HERE is proper link

well... I did. The water wasn't my biggest concern though... My biggest concern was when Note was attached to the drone 120 meters above me... This phone is huge... and made a huge resistance in the air... and because delicate suspension I had to construct and use to eliminate vibrations I was in constant fear it will detach from the drone and .... well ... I don't want even consider what would happen...
I am not very big on YT, so do not expect plenty of views but really appreciate your comment. Thanks
I've done a few videos with the Note 9 so far and have found it to be exceptional.
See here: https://youtu.be/k-15LfCyyNg Including use of all slow motion modes as well. (Gets real dramatic around 4 minutes)
My BIGGEST complaint is the algorithm used for choosing either the telephoto lens or if there's not enough light it uses the wide lens with a sensor crop/digital zoom. In great daylight the telephoto looks just as crisp as the wide, but even the slightest bit of darkness, even pointing it directly at a sunset (seen here: https://youtu.be/jmApdV_P6Hk) and it flips over to the wide with a crop ruining the consistency. As most have noted, this same crap happens in "pro" mode as well.
I really wish in at least pro mode, Samsung would let the creator choose. I can mitigate sensor noise, I can't really mitigate lack of resolution.
Very well done on the film above! I'm impressed. Did you use Filmic Pro or the stock camera app and get the anamorphic crop in post?

Very nice videos of yours.
My idea was to make video with camera settings as they are. So I used original camera app at fully automatic. The only changes I have made were in post production
and I used Davinci Resolve 15 for both - adjusting colours and anamorphic crop.
I agree with you that "pro" mode should be fully pro I have not noticed the problem you described though. I need to check it.
My conclusion is that actually whatever we will say about mobile phone's cameras they are so good nowadays that with a bit of effort everyone can make videos like mine or yours ..

Camera quality is very disappointing. Doing smt wrong??

Bought this phone yesterday. I'm new to Samsung. I had seen and read a lot of reviews and articles, and all were very positive about the camera, but in my experience its very disappointing. Especially the front facing camera. It's always blurry, and what is up with all that smoothing out??? Even when it's off it just does the same. I haven't changed any special settings. After looking for a solution I see that I'm not the only one experiencing this. Is this just a question of taste, or is there really something "broken" at the moment with this camera?? I'm really considiring returning this phone. 1000€ and this is the picture quality I get?
I paid considerably less than 1000€ a week after launch, I think I'd return it if I paid that much. I've had some good photos from the camera and also less impressive ones, it seems Pro mode is the place to be.
Yes the selfie cam sucks. Too much post processing causing the smoothing effect. I'm not an Instagram model, I don't need to look airbrushed.
The rear shooters though can produce some really nice pics.
It's the software that causes issues. The hardware is solid.
The other option is to download GCam which uses Google's HDR Processing from the Pixel devices. It produces really nice photos. Some GCam builds have Night Sight working as well.
You might find this link useful for installing GCam, it seems to be a bit hit and miss, the camera works for a little while and then just force closes every time it's launched.

Welcome to the esteemed club of Note 9 owners! unfortunately a lot of us are already having this issue and understand exactly how you feel! there is a thread on here already about this: see below
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/help/galaxy-note-9-camera-sharp-t3835459
and trust me its annoying having paid so much for this device and then get this rubbish picture quality!.... and I bet you any money Samsung folks read these forums so whether its a case of "cant be bothered" or "working on it", no one knows!
I hear the point about Gcam download as an option but I really feel I should not need to download additional software to make up for Samsung's lapses. We buy this device cos we love it and desperately want it to work, guess Samsung makes them only to get our money... not rocket science who the real losers are !

Now if these problems can be fixed with future updates that would be great, but is there communication from Samsung about this? And can this be fixed with (near) future updates.

The only likely upgrade would be Samsung's take on Night sight, I wouldn't expect any miracles.
Guys, hey, HW is solid as someone said, i also have some issues with cam quality, i thing that we must wait till we have pie update and then see what changes. Like im working with audio eq and for example player FIIOX5 III sounds quite bad at beggining, but later firmware updates makes it much better. So i thing - wait for software update and then decide to do something with it or ask for refound.

It's been hit and miss too for me, coming from a Pixel 2 XL.
Things are considerably better since I use the Arnova's Gcam port (better than my Pixel 2 XL in fact), and it made me realize Samsung's app/post-processing is the issue, not the Note 9 camera/sensor
Samsung needs to go back to the drawing board and do something about that agressive, over the top post-processing. Like I said, Gcam produces way better, more natural looking like pics, and most of all, they're not blurry (faster shutter time with Gcam maybe?)

More features like Advanced HDR+ and Night Sight are working for me with Arnova's builds vs the one you just posted.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-arnova8G2/
Can you post some sample pics? This phone is consistently rated as one of the top cameras on the market and I have to say that I'm not disappointed. In good conditions it's hard to say that it's any worse than my DLSR with expensive lenses. Night shots are excellent too. If your rear camera is as bad as you claim, perhaps there is a hardware problem? The front camera does apply a lot of post processing (which I'm not a fan of either) but you can turn most of it off.
TLDR: either you have an actual hardware problem or insanely high expectations, the camera on this phone is just about the best on the market. When I say that it comes close to my DSLR, I'm not kidding.

Reading some of these comments . . . The stock camera app takes fantastic looking pictures IF the subject is not moving. Try taking a picture of your kid or pet doing anything BUT standing still and the photo is a blurred mess. Wish the shutter speed was faster smh not holding my breath on Samsung fixing it thru an update

Use Pro mode if you want to be able to specify your shutter speed, I find the raw's are pretty good once they've had some basic touch-ups.

Shutter speed seems about average. I had the S10e. I don't notice a huge difference either way, but I'm still playing around with it.. I do wish indoor pics held up better, but that is common with any phone other than the pixel
I kinda wish OnePlus put the money into only one lens instead of three. Have a great single lens, larger sensor and keep it simple and work on the photo processing.

I feel like they have the camera hardware; it's just the processing that needs work. Just look at what the Gcam ports are capable of on OnePlus devices.

If you like the 3xl then when they port the google camera to the OP7Pro you will be really happy I think. It looks like with the HW the OP7Pro has paired with Google camera processing will be killer.

Mind providing few more pics? Something during daylight, and possibly like moving people
Been struggling with with whether to get this or the p30 pro. Might have to go with the p30 pro
I'll post comparison pics to gcam a little later. I think it's just as good as the S10e, though. In good lighting it can compete with any of them, although it has a tendency to blow out the highlights some. Low light is where the others take a bit of an advantage.

I am mainly interested in battery life and camera performance. And camera performance so far looks hit and miss. I have owned almost every OP device. And I don't know I am just not feeling all that excited about this one. To get the battery life is want I will have to dial back all the settings that make this phone stand out. To get great camera performance I am going to have to pray the gcam mod comes out and it's as good as it was on the 6T

There are not many alternatives atm. The S10+ has Knox and a fuse which disables many important features once you unlock it, also you can't undo it.
Huawei has stopped giving codes to unlock the bootloader.
Pixel 3 XL has good camera software, but a small battery, a very ugly notch (personal preference though), old Snapdragon 845 etc.
Am I missing something? A good camera phone which you can unlock easily and which has a decent community?

Nope u dont missing much, if it wasn't for that 3xl notch, battery and ram.. i would be all over it, can't comment on op7 pro, have no idea how the cam is, wont find out till next week, abt the community... Things aint the same as they were back in the days with likes of htc desire etc... Basically there were no kids here , now every kid owns the phone

I got the Google Pixel 5, what do you need to know?

UPDATE 15 October:
Embargo has now lifted!
I got THREE additional videos now live; the full review, camera, and audio review:
UPDATE 5 October:
I've been informed on 5 Oct to not post anything further on the Pixel 5 until the embargo lifts (which I can't communicate when that is).[/B]
You can find more information about the device via my Twitter feed; incl battery updates, camera shots etc.
Hi everyone,
Seen there's some love for the Pixel 5 here at XDA (Hi again XDA gang!), so as I have the phone in front of me. What do you need to know?
I'm looking to get confirmation from my source to see if I can extract the camera.apk for you, but before sharing any files (including original photos from the Pixel 5), I'm getting it confirmed. Rather be safe than sorry
Anyway, ask away, I'll try my best to answer everything I can.
Oh, and my video on YouTube of the phone (if you don't believe I have the phone), is live on my channel too:
EDIT: Latest YouTube hands-on video has just gone live!

Can you get into ADB shell and report the output of
Code:
cat /proc/mounts
?
How did you get it? Well, yes, we would all like to take a look at apk gcam
Nice! So heavy is it? Im coming from a Note 9 which is a heavy phone. Hoping the P5 is a little lighter in build. What month security update is it on? What color u got?

Hey, thanks!
Can you confirm that you can switch to the Ultra Wide Angle camera in third party apps (Snapchat, Instagram, etc) when doing a pinch zoom out?
Is there an Ambient EQ setting in Settings>Display>Advanced?
How much bright display is?
Can you force 90hz from developer settings?
How is haptics?
How is stereo speakers?
How slow it feels to flagship phones like Pixel 4 or Note 20 Ultra? Especially if someone is using 2020 flagship phones.
How does the screen brightness compare to the 4xl?
The wallpapers on the promotional images are included? Can you share? ?
Since you're able to hold it and use it, is it worth the price they are retailing it for ?
How are the stereo speakers, are they comparable to the 3XL ?
How responsive is it ?
How's the feel of the device, slippery or gritty like the renders suggest? Does it support hdmi output from its usb-c port? Still squeezable? Fp gestures for qs return? Pixel visual core is present? Any feature parity between the normal and ultrawide cam? What's the max slo-mo fps? Anything major is missing? And sorry for asking so many questions. ?

I don't use Snapchat, so can't comment on that. But on IG I can't zoom out, but can zoom in. Same happens when I'm on the S10+, however.

It gets REALLY bright, haven't measured it yet - but I suspect it's above 500 nits.
'Smooth Display' can be enabled via the Display options: 60->90Hz automatically.
There's no additional option in the dev settings
Haptics feel natural, nothing to report, other than it's located at the bottom of the phone.
Stereo speakers upon first impressions are pretty poor; they sound tinny. The S10+ trounces it.
Feels fluid so far, but can'#t really pass much judgement as I've only had it for a short time.

Didn't get the 4XL, but as mentioned above, it's bright; need to measure it.

Yup, it's no longer there, unfortunately!
Can you check if these two features are present?
New Google Assistant keyboard dictation: https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1311757613235941377
Back tap gestures (like iOS 14): https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...-tap-gestures-android-11-screenshots-recents/

I don't use G assistant, but will test at some point.
As for the screenshot: it didn't seem to do anything when I did as the video.

Both features will probably come in a Pixel Feature Drop, then. Thanks for sharing!
How is the screen quality?
IE: coming from a QHD Pixel 4 XL to the FHD Pixel 5?
Add Build.prop file please
What's the screen brightness? Is it brighter than the 4 XL? I have googled everywhere and just no answer about something so important.
Also is the battery life significantly better and do you think it's worth buying coming from a 4 XL?
Edit: nvm just saw your replies! Thank you! Is Ambient EQ available under Settings > Display?
It's not listed on the Store site which is suspicious.
