Use the Infrared Camera - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hey. I wanted to know whether it is possible to access the infrared camera in the phone?
because I think there are a lot of ways how you could make use of it.
Thanks
~ Darcade

I had the same mind but I so far as I know there is only one that is using the Sensor atm.
I was digging for some more information about that depth sensor stuff but couldn't find any information.
Her's the 3d scan app that is using that sensors.

[Q] Camcorder with PAUSE

Hey I was wondering if someone could develope, or knows of, a Camcorder application that has a PAUSE feature instead of just stop? I am interested in trying to make some stop motion recordings if it will work right...
+1 for this! I really miss this fuction, 'cause a lot of interesting and scenic things can be made with such a feature!
+1 I agree, why the hell did they not have it in the first place...
I think it needs a combination between video editing software and Camera's one !
wait a minute ... is there a video editing software for WM ??
Anyone else agree? Is there anyone that can do this, or know something that will work? It would be cool and alot easier to do if you could just push pause while recording. I haven't even started making any videos, just thought this would be a kool idea if someone could make it and would be some good motivation.
I want that feature!
Everyone knows it:
You're just making a nice vid of the most beautiful landscape you've ever seen with your HD2 ...
... and suddenly you notice "DAAAAMN ... I got to fart!" now you could stop the recording, but the landscape will be ruined and you will have 2 split-files. You could also just fart, but that way you will not be able to show the vid to your in-laws.
So what to do ?
I need this feature. Everyone does!
(Why this feature wasnt included, is just strange)
I think we need to help get the word out, we need this feature!
Yes, Someone please create camcorder with Pause button for hD2
i thnk not only pause feature for camcorder,but red eye function for photo
we need this feature !
the developers of the camcorder are so dumb ! really really dumb ! 'foreallzzz' we gonn find yaa
since we're talkin about the camera why don't somebody develope the other features like quickburst and others for the camera??
OMG OMG OMG We need This
Why o why i never thought of it..... now that is the strangest thing. I guess i not missed it, but when i think of it, i think HTC are morons for this not implemented.

I think thats impossible, i mean those small compact cameras cant even burst.
Because it has to autofocus and it reading the sensor will go too slow to actually burst. That's what i think, owning both a dslr and compacts.
Haven't been here for a while, anything happenin' on this feature yet?
Bumping this tread, isn't there any devs that could maybe explain if this is possible or not?
Dude seriously, if i had this feature i could be makin some awesome million page view videos by now, and then i could become a youtube partner and be makin some bank, and then i would be able to donate generously to the developer(s) and xda!! ....LOL So c'mon let make this happen!!
Pause button yet?
I'm pretty sure my old Nokia 3650, when I first got a cell phone, had this feature... Our phones nowadays may be getting smarter, but they sure are losing some of the coolest features and conveniences!!!

A flash for the rear camera?

SOOOOOOO there are plenty of tutorials for the Front Facing Camera. Has anyone tried to put a flash on the rear facing camera? I REALLY want a flash. PLease help.

The vibrant is basically just the I9000 (form factor wise anyways).
The mounting stuff was not taken out, just the camera itself, so our hack to get the FFC working is just to snap it in & install a new kernel that supports it.
The I9000 didn't have a flash, so it's not that easy for the vibrant. It doesn't have anything to mount it to or anywhere to plug it in at all.
So, if it's possible, it would probably be a significant hack to accomplish.
Thanks Dude. I figured that if it could be done it wuld have already been done. Oh well I wait till August and get whatever is out then.

this is why all the devs left XDA and started all their own forums because the amount of useless new threads opened is pathetic. Even Cyanogen doesnt mess w/ XDA anymore becazuse ppl dont bother to read anymore....they should remove the new thread button in vibrant android dev forum unless u register as android dev and a MOD approves u...this has gotten waaaaaaaay out of hand
I've been working on a custom mod of mine own with 3 led on my back plate and cover everything with a external another back cover. I'm almost done with the project.

That is the kind of arrogance that makes me glad of the types that left. Yes theres a FAQ, and yes, there are a few that wont read it. Honestly, the FAQ (at least in the vibrant forum) is a frakin mile long! I can easily see how someone may miss it. Informative yes, but give people a break! Not to mention the breakup into 4 separate sub-forums ect ect, its easy for someone new or doesnt come often to not find their way around well.
Been going on for years, and will persist after you leave.
It's not a completely stupid or worthless question because I see it as do-able. I'm no dev...nor have I worked with the hardware on this phone, but I have thought about integrating a luminous LED as part of the flash. I think it could be as simple as finding th current that turns the camera lens on and integrating the LED power into it. Even if it doesn't 'Flash'...it's still a 'flash' equivalent lighting setting.
The FFC was do-able...I think someone can make a suitable flash for our camera.
Makes me want to work on it myself...
I spent a good 10-15 minutes in the camera app trying to figure out how to turn on flash before I realized the phone didnt have a flash on it! What a surprise damn you samsung!

course a flash would be lovely.but realistically the request to some how install a flash even when no original i9000 variant have a flash built into the unit to simply snap in is ridiculous. lollll
Don't be so quick to judge, I myself have wondered what if this phone had a flash. Honestly, it'd be friggin sweet! That goes without saying.
@Haxel: Awesome points, great attitude!
@p unit: I'm intrigued by your project, have you thought about somehow incorporating an LED flash into an extended battery back plate? More battery life, and maybe since the cover is bigger, you might have more room to work with on fitting a flash in.
good luck!

They are talking about a physical flash a light. not the light software program.
I thought it was a great question since the Fascinate has one. I don't see why having a moderator approve your question would be necessary, since none of the questions would ever get posted since they are questions that are usually way below their intelligence level. Let's be honest here, we as junior members look to developers, kangers and such for advice, guidance, and help. Having an attitude toward the people that look up to you for your knowledge, is pompous, arrogant, and simple minded. If you think there are too many questions, then don't read the posts (you should know what it's about by the title anyway). If you don't have anything to contribute other than a bad attitude, then don't respond and the rest of us will learn the hard way. You guys who don't want to read our questions weren't born with the knowledge you have, so don't assume that just because someone has a question, doesn't mean they haven't tried. Give some of us the benefit of the doubt. We don't all have our faces crushed into a computer screen all day you know........

I have seen an external clip-on type of flash light that you can clip it on your phone and take picture in the dark. I forget which website I saw it. However, it is still in production and not yet available until probably mid or end of this year, so just keep your eyes open.

Please help with this horrible Camera problem

Hello, fellow xda users, I would like to tell you this strange problem that I have.
Camera not available.
Please help with this. It started when the camera jams up. A soft reboot doesn't solve the problem. This is a nice device, but without the camera it's quite not ad useful as before
So please kindly help. Thanks

Use 3rd party camera app. Better than Sony's. Check out this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481316
Seems that your solution worked. But the best camera app, the FV-5 is the Only one that offers ISO settings. The worst thing is, you have to pay for that and the free version is only able to take a tiny 0.3MP pics. For now, I think the free 'a better camera' is my best option. Only that it seems to be geared for point and shoot users... Well, I need ISO settings and these aps just give you better colurs. They never give sharper image or less noisier image. I think I need to stay with this app till I get the real fix, or buying FV-5, which I doubt is going to worth the time and cash compared to the original camera app.
Seems that it worked right after I posted that post. Still trying to look for answer on what happened though.

Reset would probably fix it. Did you restore anything after upgrading?

How to root Onyx Boox Note?

I have recently bought an Onyx Boox Note. This is an E-Ink device that runs Android 6.0.1. It has a 10.3 inch display, 2 gb of RAM, and 32 gb of internal storage. No sd card slot. There is no custom recovery available for it, to my knowledge. Neither Kingoroot nor Kingroot were able to root it. I have adb access to the Note, however, but not fastboot.
Any suggestions as to what I could try? Let me know if you need more info about the device.
Thanks for your help.
Update: I have achieved root. I used King Root which finally worked after a couple of attempts. I then used the SuperSuMe Pro app to switch myself over to SuperSU. All is well now.
OT, So is the device worth the $$$?

That depends on how you plan to use it. (The price is not out of line if you compare it with an iPad or some similarly sized Android tablet.)
The best answer I can give you is to offer you a checklist of various features. If you can say "yes" to most, if not all, of them, then the Note might be worth the cost for you.
1) Your eyes like E-Ink much more than LED.
2) You want a device light enough for lengthy ebook reading sessions, yet large enough to comfortably read pdfs.
3) You want the ability to install apps of your choice (Instapaper, Moon Reader, Outlook, Office, whatever...)
4) A frontlight is not essential.
5) A sd card slot is not essential.
6) Bluetooth capability is important.
7) Note-taking with a stylus is important to you.
8) Audio capability is useful to you.
9) You find the older crop of E-Ink devices too slow.
There may be other features you may value, but this will do as a general checklist. Then you can see for yourself if the Note is worth the money or not.
Please we need root!!!! I was not able to get root with my firmware!!!!
Hi, Where did you buy this device? I like it and my eyes are tied of LCD screens.
More one question: Could you please show some pictures with taking notes on Onenote?
Thanks

I bought my device from here.
I don't have OneNote installed on my device. However, if you check out the Onyx threads on Mobileread, you'll find reports that there is a significant lag when someone takes notes with OneNote, or any third party app. The stock Note app works much better - but that doesn't help you, unfortunately.
I don't use the note-taking functions very much, other that annotations and the like on pdfs.

The Android applications for taking notes are not ready for this device yet (if they use the Note's SDK, that will be much different history), they have a lot of lag, but instead you can use the built in note application and the is like writing in paper.
I use it to read book and the web.
Need help
Guys, thanks a lot for answers. Actually I need an e-ink device on Android with a big screen and capable to run the app JW Library. But because this devise is new on the market, I am afraid to spent the money (and it is not a cheap one) and discover that it can not run this app smoothly. I have a Kindle Paper White and I love it, but its screen is too small and it is not an Android.
May I ask you guys a favor?
Could someone of you guys to install this app from Google Store and to download just some magazines and books and to try to turn pages, to click on references and to see how it works (the app does not require registration). I think with 2 Gb of RAM and 4 core proc. it should work smoothly as much as the e-ink screen allows, but I am afraid to buy it and discover that this app is too heavy for the Note and its software.
Please, I need a help with this.
Thank you in advance for the help!
P.S.: It would be great if someone could attache a picture of the Note with this app working/opened if it is not too much to ask for.
I might be able to try it tomorrow. One of the main reasons why I bought the Note was its ability to run the Logos Bible Software app - and the Note runs it perfectly. I'll see what I can do about pics. I can attach screenshots as well.
ERASED.
citytrader said:
I did the test, is not like turning pages because the application has the scroll vertical and the experience was smooth (smooth as an eink allows), the experience was like Galaxy TAB S with a display a bit slower than the Galaxy.
This device for reading is really amazing, I believe till now is the best in the market.
The screenshots are in the attachment.

@IurMal: How is it going with the JW Library on an Onyx Boox Note? Does this device have to be rooted? I am looking for a decent e-ink device which can run the JW Library flawlessly.

Hello Windsor1959, I have a ONYX BOOX Note too, but the >Pro< Version
I tried the apk and Windows-Software from the link you provided (Thank You for sharing!! :laugh, but I could not do it:
KingRoot.apk and Windows Application with USB + ADB, everytime it replies "no root possible", even after factory reset and multiple on/off tries;
Because I don't have an open boot-loader I cant do much else, or can I ??
6.0.1 Android Marshmallow should have enough holes in it, no?

After one of the firmware updates, I was unable to get root again. So Onyx must have changed something, which made it harder to root the device. To be honest, I think I lucked out in getting root in the first place!
Yes, you'd think that Marshmallow would have plenty of holes in it! But I haven't seen anyone else get root on a Note, either, since then.
If anyone else reading this has, please tell us how you did it!

Just to confirm what @Windsor1959 encountered that previously I was able to obtain root through Kingroot. Recently I updated the firmware for my Onyx Boox Note and I tried to root again with Kingroot but was not successful. I encounter this post while I am searching for method to root it again (very unlikely at this point).

See everyone on gps type app

Hi, I'm really new to android developing, i want to make a very simple app, you open it and you get the other people using the app position, in a range of 50 meters from you. Maybe everyone could update a picture of himself that will be displayed where he is, so like a marker to indicate his position. Then if you click on one of this marker/photos you can see some details that the user put in when he registered. Is it possible for a newbie to do it? I think I obviously will need a server and help. Can you please tell me what sould i do, how much will I spend, etc, and like a to-do list?
thanks in advance.

Student of android dev here!
What your asking for is pretty complex. If you dont have much experience coding or creating apps, i would suggest practicing by making other smaller apps and then building up to then.
You can also hire somebody else to do it, how much it would be would depend of their skill and exactly what features you want on it.

Anything is possible. Practice makes perfect! Or near perfect
