Does anyone know what these updates do? They just showed up on my phone today!
Was wondering the same thing. Just got them today.
I can tell you that the sound enhancer does not stop stuttering in video unless it's shut off as the previous.
HTC really needs to tell us what each update is supposed to fix grrr.
Hmmm, I got all of them except the sound enhancher. Lol that's the only one I actually use.
I´ve got all updates. Does anyone know what they improve?!
Same boat here

I was thinking.....these may be updates for Tango. Remember MS said last week or so that 5%of all apps don't work. They said they would contact those publishers and so them how they could reduce the memory the apps use. I've been getting alot of updates the past few days with no changelogs.

Might be, i have not noticed anything new about the update yet.
I also got the updates, hub, camera modes and sound enhancer. No differences noted.
Crazy that HTC releases an update for the sound enhancer that does not fix an issue they are aware of...

I was really hoping it would fix the stutter...but for me, it seemed like the stutter was a little better with sound enchancement on in 360p, but maybe it was just a placebo :/
deleted
I've had so far since the release of Titan (have it 3 weeks post-release)
4 camera updates
2 sound enhancer updates
don't use hub and watch.
The 2nd and 3rd camera updates I think fixed some issues earlier.
But the recent camera update and sound enhancer update - barely shows any difference. However I do notice that the camera brightness is little lower post-update. Anyone notice that? Or is it me feeling a placebo?
Usually as soon as I go for camera my phone used to turn to full-on brightness, now it's like 70-80% brightness, or at least feels so.
About the camera mode brightness, honestly i think it is still the same (100%)

The Amaze has a VERY nice camera app, beats our stock app in a few ways. I searched and found it had been ported to the Evo 3D, the graphics were a little screwy, and it FC'S when you take a pic.
Anyone willing and able to port this, fix the graphics and fonts and get it to work?
What's different or better?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
More bells and whistles mostly, a LOT more scenes to choose from, a higher ISO setting, also, the Evo 3D guys are claiming much improved pic quality. Plus, options are good I THINK its the same sensor in ours and the Amaze?
you could just improve the stock camera app give me a couple of minutes and ill make a commit to my svn with a better camera app
So far I'm not a fan of the stock camera app.... no metering option, ISO only to 800, most of the scenes seem worthless. The picture adjustments change too severely. But mostly, it ruins pics by defaulting to way too high ISO, and too much saturation.
I've been using Vignette and getting MUCH better results.
You can pull the APK from any of their roms and try to install it, you might have to wait until we have root access and push it though.
def agree the camera has room for improvement
the worst thing with the stock app has to be the utterly ridiculous white balance.... NONE of the options give a result that is anywhere near correct in artificial lighting.
I heard in all the reviews the sensor was improved, but i dont see how over my thunderbolt or incredible2. Cant wait til this whole country is covered in 4g so i dont need a new sim card everytime i use a non 4g phone, utterly wasteful
The sensor DOES seem to be much improved. I took a video last night in very low light that my Dinc NEVER would have been able to get. It would have been a blurry mess. I've gotten some good low light pics too. But I've been using Vignette which blows the stock camera app away in both picture quality and number of options. It was my kids birthday yesterday, we took her to Chuck E Cheese, forgot to bring our point and shoot, but the Rez made a more than adequate substitute....
for anyone not impressed with this camera please do yourself a favor and try some alternate software....
This thread is in the wrong forum.
if you were to take a 13mp camera for example from the droid razr hd in china, and pop it in the rezound, would it work? or would you need programming for it?

nope.....needs kernel support...the libraries need to support it as well
*bump*
Still holding out hope for a ported Amaze camera app or an improved stock app...
EDIT: for what its worth, the camera hardware is pretty decent. I've been using Vignette as my primary camera app and consistently get better results than the stock app. It also has many more options and adjustments available.
The downside is it is slow, clunky, and not well integrated like the stock app. I find I have to constantly babysit the settings to get the really good results, and getting to the gallery or sending messages requires leaving the app as the built in "shortcuts" don't work correctly.
The evo 3d apk works but takes really screwed up pictures
I rooted and pushed the amaze one and it wouldn't show up in Apps. I tried installing it from apk, and it fails after like 1 second of trying to install
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
weird.... I got one that was ported from the Amaze FOR the 3D, it installs from apk, launches and works but FC's when trying to save a picture.

New firmware update arriving soon, 8107.12070
The following is a compilation of all known fixes & improvements in 12070:
• Battery drain issue has been fixed
• Lack of audio Bass when listening through headsets has been addressed
• Auto-white balance issue with the camera has been fixed
• Hardware buttons backlights are now always illuminated at all available screen brightness levels
• Diagnostics app has been updated to prevent users from receiving misleading technical readouts about their device
So why Nokia continued to say there is no battery bug, I do not know, if they claim that there's a new battery drain issue that has been fixed?
And why do I get the feeling that they've fiddled with the diagnostics to give you the readings you want to see?
Sigh, no tethering still.
Nice. Battery fix, just what I need to make me love my phone again.
Nice to see the lack of bass is going to be fixed! Thats my only gripe with my phone.
You can load the firmware 1270 with Nokia Care Suite.

and what about supported languages, i'm interested in Greek especially
I still haven't received the previous update... How long will that take? ...
Discharging is almost about one half smaller..on the network, wifi, flying mode etc
May be I would be able to write it will stand the same as HTC Titan
I send you a picture from a really bad conditions so pls forgive the quaility..
Looks nice! Do you know, when it's going to hit the public?
And does it fix audio problem for real? Because some song sounds really bad...

Music sounds a lot better than before
You can simply try vf nz.
I downloaded the 1600.2487.8107.12070 firmware and compared it to another phone I have running the older firmware. Whitebalance (picture quality) is much better, there is more bass in the music (same volume) and the battery drain seems to be cut in 1/2 at idle (as shown by the diagnostic tool).

give me tethering and I'll have one with in 24hrs
i squezed 4.5 days (on edge) out of the battery and i use purity monster in-ear earphones and listen to trance, the highs and lows are crystal clear, like Nokia always promisses. i can't complain much about the bass but i'm waiting desperatly to check out the latest firmware.
I can compare L800 to iP4S and N9. MS should work harder to improve battery life.

How does the camera compare to the 4S or the Titan?
I just got the new update an hour ago and wanted to share my thoughts because I know there's still a lot of people wondering what it fixes. So far I've noticed:
- Phone in general feels much much quicker.
- gallery no longer lags.
- switching from wifi to 4g no longer lags the phone
- camera is improved. Still slight shutter delay but I'm thinking it must jus be how it works since it's taking such high quality pics.
-updating apps in the play store no longer makes the phone lag.
-one of my favorite things is the home button response speed is really fast now(yes svoice home button is disabled) I noticed the home button used to lag sometimes. Much faster now.
- I noticed some buttons in the camera and gallery are different and have some extras. Haven't had much of a look yet.
-it appears all my apps are on the SD card now.
I can't comment on battery life or anything else yet but I'll keep an eye on it tonight.

That sounds pretty good to me

Everything is still working perfect. I've tried hard to make the phone lag/stutter and I can't. I've been using it non stop since the update and not a single stutter yet. Very impressed.

Cool. Thanks for the info.
So, I also installed the update, and moved some apps to the SD card... HOWEVER it appears that they are going to the emulated SD card, and not the real extStorages SD card.... how is this helpful???
I hope they release a change log and confirm some of what you said

Great review
The only thing with moving certain apps to the external SD card, if that app has a widget the widget is no longer available in the widgets folder. Otherwise the phone is smooth.

This update is only via kies? Or are they pushing it out ota? There's been some comments that they not only does the new update remove root, but it also adds software to prevent future root attempts. I assume if it's ota it will prompt you for the update and not just auto install.
So far it looks like only kies.

Also some things to add.
- support for transparent notification bar on all wallpapers
- text legibility enhancer in display settings.(text looks better but not sure how it affects battery)
- smart pause toggle in notifications
- standby battery life is improved
- 2 wallpapers added. 1 removed.
- improved hd audio for calls
- headphone improvements
- phone is staying cooler overall
- security fixes

I finally figured it out how to enable the transparent notification bar, I'm using NOVA launcher and had to enable it in under nova settings.

Updated via OTA this afternoon, stock, unrooted
Its almost like you guys work for Verizon! Telling everyone to lose root and upgrade immediately. For two days now! Randy and Chadly in every thread about the new update.... So suspicious. And the weird way verizon pushed the update. Randy Chadly... We get it. You like the update. Now go back to Verizon and tell them to get ****ed

Apps 2 sd is nice. Especially aince spotify automatically puts all downloaded data to your external by default. That saves 4gbs of internal space for me. But thats pretty minor considering...

I got the HTC One Max in Feb and I liked it even though I knew the camera wasn't that good because it was missing ISO (hardware, not software). Updating to 4.2.2 with Sense 6 pretty much broke the camera for me. When trying to zoom onto an object at close range, it'll focus and then distort and the camera keeps making a buzzing noise like it's trying to keep auto focusing but it passes the point of a clear picture and never fixes itself. I never rooted, unlocked bootloader, or S-off this device--everything is stock. It's frustrating that I'm spending so much money on a phone for it to just mess up like this. Any advice or something for a fix? Can I install the old camera APK from a previous version of android?
RMA it....hard ware issue it appears
agree, sounds like an RMA to me too. I have had the one max since launch day.
the camera is great. I dont use the stock camera app because its limited in what it gives the user, but i have taken good images with this camera.
Hi guys and girls,
I'm looking at getting a new phone soon and my choices I've narrowed it down to, for different reasons, are these:
Google Pixel 2 XL - good battery life, great camera, pure android
OnePlus 5T - good battery life, good development scene
Huawei Mate 10 Pro - can get a good deal on it, great battery, great camera
Cons of the Mate 10 Pro all revolve around EMUI. Bugs/features I've heard about so far are these:
Non-push notifications not working
No notification drawer on lock screen
Quick reply actions etc not always working
These all seem really annoying and are things I wouldn't have a problem with on the Pixel 2. I could root, and install AOSP, but that would just have different bugs, and I'd lose the AI which is obviously a big feature of this phone, plus the camera quality would be lost.
So I'm looking for any users who have either had these issues fixed, or know workarounds, or have any other little bugs that I should know about.
Thanks

Its difficult to say, it seems like a simple fix for Huawei, so don't know why it's taken so long to sort out.

And that's the sort of thing I'm concerned about. They are a massive manufacturer and therefore you'd think that issues like this should be sorted at release. I understand that Oreo is still new and all manufacturers will have issues, but this would be my first Huawei phone and I'd like it to be in good shape! And a good experience.
Audio switches from bluetooth to loudspeaker after some time.
Call quality is very bad due to the AI chip.
Since these issues are there since release, I wouldn't recommend that you buy the Mate 10 Pro.
12 pages of bluetooth issues on German forums: https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...0-pro-android-8-bluetooth-problem.853624.html
The two issues stopping me from buying this now are what I've heard that third party apps don't show notifications on the lockscreen always on display and the LED works spordically.
Pretty important that I know I have notification considering this is a communications device I would say.
Also there are reports about poor wifi and cell signal.
