i think its time to send a clear loud message about the camera issue with z ultra, and ask sony for a clarification of whether this issue with the camera is a software issue or a hardware issue, can someone please take the lead to roll this petition to the attention of sony
Or you guys could just return it and get the Z1? Why do people care about the camera which aren't even what the phone is about?

I don't know.. Last time i used the camera was in september.. and before that when i used my Note i would maybe take 20 photos a year. People who bought the ZU and thought that the camera would be great, didn't do enough research. BUT still, the camera is fantastically bad, and Sony should correct this so it's possible to use it without being shocked every time we use it. It's currently on the same level as my old Game Boy camera. Fine, it's not but it's close.
And about the "petition". Forget about it. It's the least effective thing in the world. Contact them directly and talk to a human being. It works much better, and you'll know that your message has been received. If possible, try to get transfered to the dev section.
When I bought this phone, I knew I was getting a dismal camera. I don't know anyone that bought the phone thinking this was something that they were going to use a lot. It was the screen size...

I like where your heads at... however Lord is right. Partitions don't do anything.
- What is it now 700,000 about not getting GTA5 on PC? LOL... I'm sure the 500,000,000 dollars they would lose not releasing it for PC would be worth a smile on 700,000 faces.
email/ messages/ written can be look and moved on.
Voice and calling is more personal and will get more attention. I don't mind the camera for quick snaps. My DSLR will always win in a shoot off..
* Random info *
When I first got my device, I called my mobile provider to enable 3G connectivity, and had to quote my IMEI number. The guy at the end of the phone didn't have a clue what device it was. He did a google, and almost sh*t himself. How did you get that? I've never seen it before... I want it!..
Suffice to say I had to do it myself.

Precisely. The camera I knew was average having done my due diligence before purchase. The rest of the phone is by far the best I've ever had for screen size, light weight and battery life among the other features. If you buy phones to take pictures then this isn't meant for you.

sorry mate. I did have a chuckle, but only because I've now been 7 days without my Ultra.
Apparently reports are in about removing the OEM protector, and replacing with your own one improves display and colour quality.
But the pain and time to do it is quite intensive. If mine does this, I think I will remove it.

Pal, we aren't getting any Software improvements. Chromatic aberrations shows clearly the use of a very simple and compact.camera module with reduced optical compounds to fit into less-than-six millimeter space (6.4mm less the fit case support) but we didnt get the xzu expecting stunning camera performance, as long as Sony never promised onit. Right? There is much far other cool stuff on the device..

I totally agree that the camera of the XZU is a waste (especially the low light performance) but whilst I sort of knew this from the review and the fact that it has no flash, my reasons for buying this phone are totally different-it is my 1st true Phablet.
Is a Petition needed to bring this to the attention of Sony, I think so considering how much money we have all paid or are paying through our contract deals via our network providers. of all the things annoying is why not put a bloody flash of some sort into this beast, you idiotic product designers in Sony. At least they should have the guts to learn from budget Chinese brands like Oppo, HDC, Zopo and UMI.
I have heard that a kickstarter project by the name of IBlazr is soon to launch an 4X Led embedded external flash unit for Mobile Phones and I will get this when it is released but why should we rely on external accessories to complete a faulty design.
To help you all make the best of your camera app, I strongly urge everyone to download the leaked Camera app of the Nexus 5/Android Kitkat 4.4, I installed this and I see that it makes a real difference. Hope the mods will customize it for better usability on the XZU as when I use it the controls of the camera appear to be partially hidden behind the Navigation Buttons of the XZU, whilst this is annoying, the app is very useful and can be used as the daily camera app replacement and to those that want to praise all other replacement apps, I tried all and if you want near stock experience, this is currently our best hope.

better stick with the stock 4.3 camera, same quality but can do photosphere ( 4.4 crash when combine photosphere)
Its a hardware issue. Period.
3rd party app helps but marginal. If camera is really a big issue, I would suggest getting a Z1 or wait out for XZU2.
The XZU is marketed as having a good camera.
QUOTE
Stunning shots in any light — 8 MP camera with Exmor RS™ for mobile
The 8 megapixel camera is built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras. Exmor RS™ for mobile is an evolution of our Sony image sensor technology, with a next-generation BSI light sensor. By adopting the technology of luminance and colour noise reduction, we’ve created a camera that snaps highly detailed shots with low noise – even in challenging lighting conditions. You’re now also able to reproduce objects in more vivid colours and capture night images and faces in stunning clarity.

I bought this XZU because I thought that aside from it being big and fast, it has a good "stunning" camera. The image quality is crap!
Sony should resolve the camera issue, otherwise, it is DECEPTIVE advertising.

Maybe because those people didn't buy it for the camera because who would? Some people apparently.
Still makes me wonder why people went with Z Ultra if it matters so much?
Yes, the phone is large and nice but come on, use some common sense. If the camera is that important that you need it then the Ultra is clearly not for you? I took some photos, they were watchable.
Have you guys even tried other camera apps? I just tried this and the pictures aren't bad at all :s.

No.
I'm trying to understand but I'm just thinking you're rather pathetic.
I don't even give a crap about the camera, I just think this is interesting.
Soooo, why do you still have your Ultra? Why aren't you complaining about the lack of flash as well? You could always glue one on.
All the hands ons seem very similar due to what seems to be excessive limitations. This close to launch and Google seem to be being quite secretive considering they've already had their announcement - is it possible there are more surprises for the tablet and Lollipop being held back?

I also get that sense to lol, I personally think Google have instructed short and brief video reviews, And also have to be filmed within a restricted amount of time. So I guess will have to wait for the tablet to be fully released before we get an in depth review, by then for most reading this it will be to late because it will be already in our hands! [emoji12]

exactly, most of us here have pre-ordered based on specs and previous know how relating to the nexus program. The hands-on at the moment are just satisfying our enthusiasm for the device. For people already on the fence about the product, they wont generally pre-order anyway so the real hands on will be more crucial for them when time comes.
Its because its still running pre-release software and Google doesn't want the first batch of reviews/benchmarks to be based on an un-optimized OS giving the Nexus 9 a bad image before its launch.
Expect a software update right before the official release of the Nexus 9 followed by lifting of the embargo and a flood of benchmarks/reviews coming in.

Back when I was in highschool I had a HP PDA (yes this was a while ago) and you could use it as a remote control. Let's just say we never had to watch anything stupid in class because the TV never worked.
None of the hands on seem to be showing how the device sounds like. With the boomsound speakers, i thought it would be one of the biggest selling points. I guess this is part of the limitations they impose on these jounalists. Also, it seems like none of them were signed on to a Google account or had any wifi connection so its not like they can just go to youtube and play a video.

It really is quite bizarre, Liam Spradlin on G+ said that they were "not allowed" to show anything in depth, there must be something held back (I hope).
Android central podcast on Fri said be patient, they will have reviews, and "without violating the embargo, except a couple of surprises.". We haven't seen everything yet apparently according to them.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Free mobile app
I am sure the reviews are being written/video'd right now, same as with previous releases.
And as before, most reviews will be released around "Something O'Clock" and a couple will come out a few hours early (Woops !).
And they may say "Review based on the final pre-release of Android, but not much is expected to change".
It's pretty simple why.
Google imposed the following limitations on videos :
Unboxing video : OK
Quick overview : OK
Device review : NO
The limitations are in place until the 12th November.

I'm not sure why they did it this way but... there are some issues and perhaps since we have the better watch they are making sure we are covered and have minimal issues.
And to add insult to injury another 2.0 thread has been started in the General area. Is there a way to roll back if we hate it?

What I assume happened is that they began working on the update (most likely building in hopes that it would need only slight tweaking for the sport), and towards the end of it's release, they realized that the sport has some different watch faces(I mean if they're gonna take this long to roll out anyway it's not as far fetched to assume the forgot something like this). So they are (most likely) currently building for the sports differences. Another theory I had was that perhaps it is a build for both devices, and the sport users ( perhaps bc we are the minority in the Moto 360 clan) that use this site simply have not received it yet; that's assuming it's a controlled rollout, of course.
Since the Sport has a GPS, probably needs more fine tunning than the 360 2nd gen, but I also think that's a matter of days to get it too, probably next week.

I know it's not everyone that is complaining, just that some of the things that were touted are not working correctly. For one, notifications are problematic and they can't figure out how to get them to show like they did on 1.5. I believe that GA is also not working correctly and if not running (huge battery drain) will not function. No time in dock mode, no double tap to enter theater mode, turning off at 45% or so.. But I think these things are not universal, however enough that they are being reported to the chagrin of users. But I'll probably install it if it ever comes after I see what you report.

Edit.. I'm thinking now of refusing the update and selling this Sport with 1.5 for double what I bought it for since 2.0 is such a bust. Just kidding naturally but without a way to downgrade perhaps not so far off. On the Moto forum the mod removed a link to downgrade. He's a jerk though. Any links for a downgrade? I couldn't find it on first look.

Seriously, why even respond? If you don't like what we say you ll just be condescending as your other posts. Also, expecting a response in two hours is ridiculous!
Knock it off already - nobody cares!

Why not email gsmarena or the author of the article if you believe it is incorrect? What can XDA users offer if we didn't write it? Come on.

nope just clarifying video lockscreen has been around, and sooner or later, there will be an agreement.
I can at least confirm that the video backgrounds in the Galaxy Apps store only appeared after the June update. Never saw them before that on my Note 8.
Looking further, it appears there are three different types of "moving pictures" wallpaper:
- Animated (Still image with some moving objects)
- Motion (Appearance changes when you tilt the phone left & right)
- Video (Plays up to 15 seconds of video on the lock screen).
We've had the Animated and Motion wallpapers since launch (or at least well before now), but the 15 second video wallpapers IS new, and that's the feature that was first seen on the S9.
So, before you "ASSume" the writers of the article didn't know what they were talking about with this feature being new to the Note 8, maybe you might want to try being more polite in your choice of words when you're confused about something; lest it leave you with egg on your face.

I ask that everyone please remain respectful. Where needed I have PM'd and discussed posts. Please stay on topic and only post if you have something to contribute.
Lastly, please don't engage eachother... it just makes things worse for everyone. Please use the report button instead.
Thanks

Note 8 has never had video lockscreen. All motion lockscreen before were multiple pictures in rotation.
How can i activate this feature ?

Once you have the June update you're good to go. Either search for video wallpapers in the Samsung Theme store, or find a video in your gallery, tap the 3-dot menu, then select "Set As Wallpaper" I believe.

I'm still in the March patch...now i get it. Thanks
That's it, not much else to add...anyone knows/heard anything on this, an update would be grand. I've not been able to dig up
nor waterboard anyone on this topic! Lol (ty)
p.s. I'm aware that many patrons of our Pixel 6 series are still plagued with ongoing issues, but a friend inside said that's not necessarily it (the cause for delay)?
No idea. Sadly no communication from Google as well apart from "coming soon" since beta 1.
GSI is showing in "DSU Loader" but we are not able to boot into that.
I am pretty disappointed with how the updates are being handled for p6 series.
I am having a Samsung kind of experience, w.r.t. software updates, after buying p6

Me too, and I'm one of the lucky ones that's not having any issues other than G-teams lack of information & timing on their updates!

Not even rainbow effect on screen (if viewed at an angle) and green tint when viewing the screen in a dark room with dark mode enabled?

Nope, had to ck on your specifics, but negative.

Impossible.
All pixel 6 have the same screens and all suffer from rainbow effects and green tints on gray backgrounds.

makes sense, & I'm very colorblind so not something that's been catching my attention.
It depends on your ability to spot or ignore these details but it gets on my nerves tbh
This is probably the worst amoled panel I've had in my entire life..

Every OLED panel I've ever had has had green tint in a dark room with dark mode.
People really need to stop going and looking for issues. If you have to tell someone how to look for it, it's not an issue.
What is the purpose of starting this thread when there is already a thread on this subject?
Just curious, because I try to read all threads in the Pixel 6. And it gets annoying with this type of nonsense.
Seaching and reading benefits everyone.
Would you be signing up for android 12L beta? Why?
Given android 12L beta 1 is due in few days would you be giving it a try on your P6? What would be your main reason for this? For me: Dynamic color on boot animation :P May be better dynamic color on UI. Just like to stay on top of updates :D

That's complete bs dude.. Don't try and justify your purchase.. I've NEVER had the green tint on any amoled device. Period. Maybe some light bleed on back lit devices. But nothing like this. I'm sick of everyone's bias at trying to defend this bs. "Well other phones have had this n that problem before too", like how low are you gonna lower the bar for Google?

Can you post a screen shot or a link of the issues that you are having. That way someone can help you sort it out.
And I thought I was Nutz.
There are people in this thread causing trouble and do not even have a pixel 6.

My $1099 12 Pro Max has a green tint if I put in the exact conditions you describe. So does my Pixel 3 XL. The only *OLED device I've ever had that I'm certain didn't have it was my Samsung Captivate.
My point is that I'm sick and tired of seeing people tell people to go look for issues. If they didn't see it before, it wasn't an issue until you made it one.

It doesn't matter if I have one or not, I'm going to call out stupid BS when I see it. Having people check for insignificant issues they didn't even know about just makes people who were previously happy with their purchase unhappy because once you see something, you can never unsee it. People need to stop spoiling other people's happiness. Like this thread wasn't even started about the "defects" of the device, they were brought up to someone who just finished saying they were happy with their device! It's ridiculous.

Absolutely not. Don't act like I'm the exception here. Just go to both the pixel 6 and p6pro forums right here on XDA and you'll see endless threads with the same problems over and over again. How am I supposed to show you a screenshot of my awful signal, color banding, green tint & other defects etc? Don't be ignorant

Insignificant issues? These are MAJOR issues. All our problems are VALID, who the f are you to say otherwise.

I'm sick of people like you who can't be objective and see the issues for what they are and have to push your little self conscious bias on us who ARE having issues. Just because some may not be having issues doesn't mean the rest aren't. And who's to say those that "aren't having issues" really aren't, or maybe they just haven't noticed OR just prefer to ignore it. Of course there's people like you and vandy who completely deny that there are issues. "Uh the green tint is a sweet feature, what you mean"

I'm not denying that there are issues. My problem is people like you who think it's your job to tell someone who's happy with their phone about the issues it likely has. Stop ruining people's enjoyment of the device just because you demand perfection. You came into a thread that wasn't about device issues and told someone who just finished saying they were happy with the device that it's likely defective. Just knock it off. Keep your misery to yourself and threads designated for it. I'm not going to reply to this any further because I don't want to make work for the mods but it's just not cool to ruin other people's experience with their devices.

Ruining people's happiness lol. Grow up dude. If there's an issue with my device I didn't know about, I sure as hell would like to know about it, whether it affects me or not. If the problems don't bother you that's great, kick rocks. But people should and have the right to know that these issues are prevalent and widespread. If they aren't affected or choose not to care, that's great. But at least they have the information. Your argument is weak sauce
