one update..so much improvement!!

just installed 2.3 and damn...the phone is soo fast its like flying...have many apps installed still anything i open just takes fraction of seconds,and is it just me or the kinetic scrolling looks super smooth now from what ive seen in the music player..The gallery is super fast and the new dolby sound is amazing!! The new 3d converter is faster than before, the camera opens faster than before and the video quality has improved a lot, the black bars in the camera are gone now so we can properly see the full screen while taking photos, feels like native 3d has improved and the conversion of 2d to 3d videos has also improved..Havent got the chance to test the battery yet coz i just installed the rom..
Why is there no video call in google talk? still we are limited to the back cam in applications?? isnt gingerbread supposed to take advantage of front cam in applications?

Can you check to see if the quality of 2d photos has improved?

Its for all lg optimus 3d phones? i live in Lithuania, i dont know in what region is my phone. How can i check my region?
my basband version is : L620_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00

The G930F is the international version with the Exynos and not the Snapdragon, which one do you have?

You bought a FAKE S7. It will never be compatible with odin and S7 firmwares.

Yep its a fake, the mt6580 is a mediatek processor most commonly found in cheap Chinese devices.

Thank you so much Travis Bickle, kykint, gsmyth for quick response
@travis it says Snapdragon
So looks like I got cheated by the guy and now stuck with this Chinese clone of S7.
Is there anyway I can root it and get rid of that Factory Mode and the adware?? As rest of the phone is really amazing, quality of picture, sound/video quality, fast charging and performance except the battery life.
So if I can remove the adware and get it rooted the phone is still usable for few years.
Please suggest.!!

One thing I could suggest is to disable a few apps from your phone. Check for the presence of SystemLocker and GoogleVending - that might account for most of the malware showing up especially when wifi is enabled.

You're welcome! There might be a few more depending on the ROM used. If you could give me the boot.prop and/or system folder I might try on coming up with a fix.
Oh and out of curiosity, can you take a pic or two of the phone in question? Usually with fakes they come with a slightly smaller screen hence the borders and/or thicker bezels. That's one tipoff with a fake Samsung device compared to the real thing.

The gap between the top of the home button and the bottom of the screen looks too big on that phone, it's much closer to the screen on the S7 (G930F)

Hard to tell from those pics, just turn it on and see if it has a thick black bezel around the screen like this one on the right, if it does then its a fake https://i.ytimg.com/vi/AzKnmffM2K4/maxresdefault.jpg

Do any of you all know anything about this one?
They claim it to have a "real" 820 Snap in it.
...I think at best case, a octa MTK and of course everything will be plastic.

G930f have sd820?
Enviado desde mi E6603 mediante Tapatalk

The real Samsung g930 phones have 820 (or Exynos in variants), The site I posted is a clone phone, that claims to have the real 820 snap processor in it. I am wondering how/if it can be true????

There are many ways to distinguish from a fake to a real s7, just youtube it.
- The fingerprint scanner on the fake one works with any fingers
- I bet the antutu score on the fake will be significantly lower than the real due to cheap outdated hardware
- battery, as you already know, is terrible on the fake
- No heart rate monitor on the fake, even if there are, it will just read random fake numbers
- The print on the box and manual of the fake are significantly lower than the real in terms of quality print, and even content are not the same.
- The fake one will display false specs on every monitor software such as 4.00GB ram (when it actually has like 512MB or something stupid like that) and snapdragon CPU when it actually has a MediaTek chinese cpu

Looks like we have a slightly different device then; mine had the microphone pinhole on the other side. And yeah, I am still looking for that damn Z6U030HA_V101En firmware. Haven't heard from anyone with the same ROM so far. :/

Friends,
Finally, I was able to get details for the phone its HDC S7 which is clone of Samsung S7, I was able to locate ROM for it on needrom and able to flash it.
Now the problem that I found is the phone doesn't connect to T mobile 4G LTE network, its only showing 2G and that is causing the GPS issue.
I am able to see AT&T 3G so looks its only Tmobile that has issue with this phone, I tried to add network ID myself but that didnt helped. Do anyone know if there is working solution for HDC S7 4G LTE network issue? Or suggestion on any alternative ROM for HDC S7 G930?

Hi, I have the same phone and I need the firmware because I flashed a wrong one. Can you give me a backup firmware from this device? Thanks

I rarely do video (almost never) on phone. So cant really tell.
But the most notable improvement was the auto HDR logic.
Previously (on .106 or .103), we wont be able to get an HDR picture without actually turning ON HDR mode. Thus when being compred to what we got on Pixel (i own pixel 2 as well so i can compare as well) we will find that P20 pro pic has less dynamic range, both on highlight and shadow area, which cause a lack of details.
On .107 the auto mode (Ai ON, Photo Mode -not night, not pro) do have better detection of what kind of scene being shot. When it detect that the highlight or shadow area are both quite strong in contrast, it trigger HDR automatically, and the result are much much better compared to older firmware result. The detail are coming out nicely, and there is less clipping on bright area.
You can notice when the HDR processing actually kicked in, by seeing, if the camera notify you to hold still the phone for a bit after pressing the shutter, you know the result will turned out better than you imagine.
sometimes it (the HDR) didn't kicked in though, i think its due to where i pick the focus area at. I have a more consistent result when i place a focus/metering to the dark area.
i'll attach 2 pictures in next post. one when the HDR automatically kicked in, and one when it doesnt.

Here you go :
1st picture is when HDR didnt kicked in (on older firmware, i can assure that most of the time the result will turned out like this, unless i enable HDR or night mode manually)
both picture taken almost at the same time.
please note that these was taken behind a dirty tinted office windows, so there would be details lost and flare/ color fringe all around. but it serve well for comparison

Good news! Thank you guys for sharing it.

Hmmmm, i'm on C636 as well, didn't get the 107c update till today....

Think u have to flash manually or wait until official release

am one of the earlier customer i guess, been using it since all my previous huawei, and 1 update only take 1 credit, so it wasnt that expensive.
for each huawei phone, i mostly do 2 or 3 updates (only when there's major update)
and normally i changed device already by the time another update come. (just like in mate 10 era, by the time 3rd update rolling out, i already moved to pixel 2 xl) :silly:

First I want to THANK YOU for this FANTASTIC explanation. Thx you so much!!! I search for someone on xda to tell me but no one know tell me the really difrence.
So now HDR is much more better on last update then before. And it is work like Pixel HDR.
I hope when next updates relise you will write difrence.
One more time THX YOU A LOT!

Hi folks - quick question. I have a CLT-L29 8.1.0.106 (C605). Firmware finder lists several firmware including a CLT-L29C605B121a
I am in the US and purchased the world unlocked version from sobeonline on eBay. Will flashing the 121a firmware from above screw up anything and does it wipe my data?
Been a long time since I messed with flashing firmware (back in the Nexus 5 days!) so thanks in advance for explaining.

Can't turn off shutter sound

Good day, I received a pixel 3 that came from Japan and as far as I know it is mandatory to always turn on the shutter sound there. However, I am using the device outside Japan, is thee any workaround for this? I am thinking to flash a firmware of another region. Thanks.

Just to be clear, did you already look in the Camera app at More / Settings? Do you have an option for camera sounds?

Devices come from Japan must have camera shutter sound, it is just the laws there. No way to turn it off unless you root or flash some other ROM.

Question Bug on apps permission controller UI

Hi everyone.
I have a S22 Ultra (SM-S908E) with OneUI 4.1 and I noticed that the app permission controller UI in the settings is broken. Instead of showing the permission details in the same screen, it is showing a popup with white letters in white background.. something terrible.
Are you guys facing something like this?
My device is:
Model: SM-S908E
Build: SP1A.210812.016.S908EXXU1AVBF
Attached are some screen shots and a screen recording showing the bug.
I posted this in Samsung Community as you can see here.

I had exactly same problem after Smart Switch from my old N10+ when i got my brand new S22U SD.
It was fixed after I did full backup, factory reset and full restored, and the time was before March update, no problem found after 2 more updates.
