Hello all,
I just saw something strange and want to know if it is a defect or if there is a reason for this behavior.
While beeing in a normal phone call, loud speakers turned on, I was browsing online. The page had a white background and in the top half of the display / I saw 4 big Pixels which were visible, because they were grey instead of white. They only "flashed" grey for a very short time.
I thought it was something on the page so today I tried to recreate it.
Downloaded a white picture, made a phone call and turned the loud speakers on.
Same result: 4 big pixels in a block in the top half again.
Something else I found out: It was only visible (or occured more often) when I moved the phone.
So can someone check their devices, if they have the same pixels?
Is it a defect or a sensor (maybe it is a proximity sensor, because so far I only saw it while beeing on the phone).
I think that this is the proximity sensor to turn of the screen when you put the phone in the ear. My previous S22 had the same
Good to read, that it is probably just the proximity sensor.
But why would you need a proximity sensor, if you turn on the loud speaker?
WhatsApp switches the speaker when you put the phone in the ear with the help of then proximity sensor. Maybe a normal call does the same?
Yup, my pixel 5 has the same. Looks as follows (it's the grey/yellowish dot in the middle of the screen at the top:

}
As long as it turns off after you finish the call it's all good. Pixel 5 had an issue where it wouldn't turn off for some people.
So far it only happens during calling and goes away immediately after a phone call.
I was just confused, why the proximity sensor is on, when I turn on the loud speakers.

I think it's more something that is related to being in a call, not whether the call is on loudspeaker or not.

I dont know weather anyone has noticed it or not but i have noticed that there is a RED LED which glows when you are in a call on XT1068 MOTO G2 you can see the led only in complete darkness. The led is located under the top speaker i dont know if it glows everytime on a call or just when there is less batery left and you get a call.
Hope this can motivate developers to take advantage of the LED.
That's a proximity sensor switching off the screen when you put your phone near your ear.
Yeah its the proximity sensor. Their a notification light next to the top speaker that you can use and the proximity sensor is great if you want to do something like wave to wake.
What do people find the most efficient way of deciding between ambient display and manual brightness?
Ambient display gives a pink tint when on low brightness manual does not.
Manual brightness is a little brighter than ambient display so is this having a negative impact on battery.
What are your thoughts on this?
I meant to say Adaptive brightness
I personally like adaptive brightness, and leave it on. I don't turn my brightness down enough ever for the pinkish hue to bother me. The pros with having the brightness adjust automatically outweigh the cons for my usage.

Yup. I don't want to have to pull up my brightness toggle every time I need the screen brighter or dimmer. Wish it had adaptive texting, adaptive calling, adaptive all things etc... I like auto everything

I would agree however I think every rom has brightness control via the status bar so changing your brightness is very easy, obviously if you don't want to flash then yeah it would be tedious to change.
I've never been a fan of any sort of brightness slider as it was always distracting seeing it change brightness, so I like to just manually change it.

For me adaptive brightness is kept off. I have my brightness:
indoors around 20-30%
outdoors: 40-50%
in a dark room completely pushed down to the minimum.
The display is bright enough at these levels. I also have franco kernel which made me change the RGB to a cooler color.
I keep adaptive brightness off, it ruins the screen colors for me. Sometimes it looks fine, and sometimes it looks really bad.
I prefer manually adjusting my brightness via status bar holding anyways.
I then use screen filter if i really need my phone dimmer at night time in bed. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor
The reason you don't get the pinkish hue with adaptive turned off is because it simply doesn't get as dim. I haven't noticed a difference in max bright though.
I leave adaptive on slider at about half way.

From my time with a Nexus 6 the screen didn't seem any brighter on max brightness compared with the adaptive brightness. The screen just was not that much brighter than the Galaxy Nexus next to me at the time, and was far less bright compared to the iPhone 6+ with me at the time.
The screen really isn't that bright so I don't see how the adaptive brightness could give noticeable differences compared to setting it to maximum manually. I might be wrong.
I leave it on. And done.
I don't like it I had it on when I first got the phone. I tried to deal with the pinkish color. Not anymore I turned it off put my brightness at about 75. Now you can really see and take advantage of that beautiful quad HD display. If you keep adaptive brightness on you might as well have a 720p display. Now I do want dark everything like contact dialer and settings. That helps with the bright white.
Also is it just me or is the whites not really white? Even with my brightness turned all the way up. I still see some pinkish in it. I just noticed when I am inside it does not look that pinkish guess it was because I was outside.

Me too. But when outside and in the sun I need to change the brightness to 100%
How can I have my phone mounted on my chest with the screen off and trigger "start video recording" thru a Bluetooth button mounted on my fishing pole?
Can I keep the screen off too when the recording starts?
Can I have a single vibration to indicate start recording and double vibrate for end video recording?
Can I have the wide-angle camera used?
Background Video Recorder (Reviews, Playstore)
lots of German reviews indicate that the app isn't really reliable, sometimes it doesn't record, sometimes video can't be played, etc.
Give it a try (several tests in fact) before fishing to see how reliable it is/the results are

this may have most of what you're looking for
I like diving and I like to shoot the mysterious underwater world. Huawei Mate 20 Pro's Underwater Camera function just meets the needs of my underwater photography. This is great for me.
Mate 20 Pro's three physical keys [Volume Up], [Volume Down] and [Power] are shortcuts for underwater shooting. The three physical keys make underwater shooting very convenient!
Volume up button - take a photo
Volume down button - video
Power button - turn off the screen or wake up the camera

Before entering the water, click on the camera - more, select the underwater and enter the underwater camera mode.
After entering the water, click the Volume Down button to start recording. At this time, the Volume Up button becomes the Pause button, and the Volume Down button becomes the Stop button.
If you just want to take some photos of the underwater world, click the Volume Up button to complete.
Power button can be used to wake up the phone or to turn off the screen of the phone. When not shooting, press the Power button to put the phone to sleep and save power. When you need to shoot, press the Power button again to wake up the phone.
With the HUAWEI Mate 20 Pro, underwater shooting is easy, if you like diving and photography, try it.
Note: The Underwater Camera function needs to be used with the dedicated Huawei Mate 20 Pro series waterproof case, so you should purchase a professional waterproof case before preparing for underwater photography.
So does that mean that the mode won't function unless used with the cover?
Is it safe swimming with the phone without any issues?
Did anyone try going underwater with it without any covers for a some time?

My phone leaked when submerged less than 2 inches - not good for a phone with a supposed IP68 rating, it's now not charging and stuck in an infinite boot loop. I't's been dried out for days, I've tried the supplied charger and lead, wireless charging, and charging from a USB wall socket.
I was using my m20p to swimming pool to take videos and photos my kids underwater, and still good to this day.. no problem what so ever..
Slow submerge will be ok, but dont use it to waterslide..
Hi, I have "fcam" app pre installed on my android head unit. when I open app it has my rear view but I cant workout how to connect front camera to be show on the app. I have a front camera (aftermarket) installed but I am currently running it through AVin.
how do I connect front camera to the "Fcam" app?
Hi there, I had a similar question about a year ago (I wanted to use an analog camera as a dash cam/DVR, though I eventually only use it for parking assistance).
I had to modify my head unit (solder a connector on the board) to get the front view camera working. It’s been working great for the past year.
I suggest reading through this entire topic, which contains a lot of instructions and photos. Read through it entirely before actually soldering anything because it contains trial-and-error stuff:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../composite-cvbs-av-view-cam-dash-cam-t3799274
I have seen you posts regarding this, was really hoping I would not need to open up the head unit.
The app is pre installed on the unit, was hoping it would just be a case of connecting an rca plug to correct spare pins ? but I can't work out which pins to connect to
My AVIN head unit had an RCA jack for front camera and rear camera. I use a DDVR-CAM2 so the rear camera goes to the front camera harness (for recording both front and rear video in the front camera) and then the rear comes out of the front camera harness and goes to the rear camera RCA jack. The front comes in over USB. When I launched F-Cam I would get the same results as you, only rear cam. But I run the DDVR-CAM2 app and can see both my cams while driving and it even offers lane departure and collision avoidance. I just deselected DVR from the unit factory settings and the FCam app disappeared.

How are you guys getting the rear cam to work with F-Cam? Did you have to wire it to another 12v power source in addition to the reverse trigger wire?
I have the same problem - rear cam works fine (in the F-Cam app and when putting the car in reverse but not in the AVIN app), but not the front one (doesn't work in F-Cam or anything else, just AVIN). I power my cams via the cigarette lighter socket. Only power there when the ignition is turned on.
Both my cams is connected via CVBS in and I have the same settings as in the first post in this thread.
