Use manual mode and lower ISO to lowest number that still allows you to work with the light available

[Q] Capacitive Button Brightness on 11S

Hello,
I just received my Oneplus One, directly updated it to 44S with OTA updates...
Unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and SuperSU.
My issue is the capacitive buttons are very difficult to see in normal day, in house...
You can only see it at night...
Is there a way to fix this ?
Thank you
I have the same problem... It is not very bright
I think by design, it's just not very bright when used outdoors or in light area. At least on my oneplus that's the way I saw it as. I just kind of remembered the location and disabled the brightness of the buttons.

No, mine is very low compared to pictures seen on the web...
It is not just by design.

Are you sure they are set to their maximum brightness?

Yes, I'm sure, I tried to set value myself with adb, max is 255, and it is very low...
Edit : Just took a picture with a LG G3 :
and, the LG see the button better than real, with the light of the room, it is quite hard to see buttons...
It's a known issue and hardware at fault. Use the onscreen buttons instead.

Full manual option for camera?

Hello,
The XZ just got revealed and it has a full manual mode in the camera app. I wonder if it would be possible to port over from the XZ to the Z5 once it's released? I remember installing a mod on my Z1 that allowed 120fps recoding like on the Z2.

Awesome news! Can u share any videos with us?
EDIT :

So as my experience our phone already supports all manual controls.. so it is not impossible to port this new camera app.. Maybe we will get it officially in nougat update

I'm expecting it to be pushed for the Z5 line officially with the Nougat update, but at worse we should be able to port it from XZ.
Still no burst mode or RAW capture...
Also, doesn't seem like you can turn on Steadyshot in manual mode either. From some videos it seems to work in Intelligent Auto mode now. (it's probably digital with some sensor-shifting, hopefully it's less restrictive than the closed-loop actuator of the Z5)
Manual shutter speed is already possible with third party apps, but the maximum is 1 second, while on the Oneplus One you can have up to 60 seconds and LG G5 you can have 30 seconds. Not that everyone will capture a image for that long but it would be useful for night photography.
I'm also thinking you might only be able to do this in 8MP mode...

Sony need to update xz very fast.
MAybe nougat android 7 this month
I agree on the speakers being way to low. I'm not sure how that aspect of it passed testing
I'm in the UK and everything is fine with my platinum XZ.
I might buy one in each colour this phone is so good and it's great for audiophiles.
Low speakers sound is in dual sim version , it should be solved in next update

I do hope your right as I like this phone. I came from a s7 edge and I loved that phone but dam that screen is hard to protect. So I opted for this which is 130 cheaper which similar specs and I'm happy so far just those speakers making me feel like a bit of regret so I hope they fix them
Ring ,alarm and phone hearing very are all very low.
I have just received my new Xperia XZ phone, very lovely but I am having the following issues with it:
1) The ringtone is very low, in the two days I have had, got lots of missed calls, because could not hear the call.
2) The alarm sound is also very low, what is helping is the vibration.
3) I struggle to hear the person I am speaking to on the phone, the hearing is very low.
How could I be helped here?

Some people say there are a bad batch of xz out there that have this issue. Not sure if that's true or not but apparently some people replaced theirs with a new one and the sound was just fine.

48mpx Camera is too slow

This phones 48mpx camera shutter speed is too low, you can not take bust shots, for bust you need to change to 12mpx which is annoying.
I personally dispontted from this, Also brightness is a big issues in outdoors, im also using honor 8pro and outdoor i use 50% to 60% brightness. And for tbis phonr brightness level is 96% huge difference between brands.
During calls suddenly u r not able to hear voice of other person,just for a freakction of time.

You shouldn't ever change it to 48 mp unless you intentionally either want to take worse photos or if you just like large numbers. It's 12 mp by default for a reason.
Set the phone to auto brightness for the highest possible brightness. If the brightness level is fine at 96% then what is the problem?
The display tests I've seen put them both in the 450-550 nits range so the maximum brightness shouldn't be all that different.
The last part sounds like reception issues. From what I've heard the antennas aren't exactly the best so that's something any buyer has to live with or hope Asus sends out an update that can alleviate the problem although I don't expect that to happen.

I never said it was a good buy.
There was no long speech; where did that come from? It was a simple response to your issues or rather (mostly) non-issues.
What's the major problem exactly? The only real problem was the signal reception but it also sounds like it's intermittent.

And neither of them has 48 MP camera. It takes longer to process and save 48 MP pictures due to large file size, that's why burst mode is not possible. I'd suggest you to do some research about it.

Now you're straying away from your own question. You were talking about the unavailability of 48 MP burst mode.

So you just wanted people to agree?
Megapixels don't really matter. A lot of things go into making a good camera. However that wasn't the original issue. You complained about taking photos at 48 megapixels being slow. You've been told two things in regards to that:
1) set it to the default 12 mp because that's what it was made to do; it's meant to do pixel binning for the best quality and speed.
2) large megapixel counts require more data meaning it's slower. That's how it's meant to be.
In short: there is little to no reason to take pictures at 48 mp.
Sorry for a bit of offtopic (ignoring OP's "problems") but what's wrong with antennas? I had a Galaxy S4 and that was a nightmare in terms of cellular connectivity. If there are problems with calling, do they affect network connectivity in any way?
In my Zenfone 6 the flip camera while working in main camera in 48 MP tends to stop working either in selfie mode or rear camera mode whenever I flip. It's temperamental as sometimes main camera works only in Selfie mode then in rear camera mode it whites out the screen. Sometimes it works only in rear mode but in selfie mode it whites out. Can't make out what is the problem. Hopefully an upgrade will solve it.

Software can not solve hardware issues, like poco phone hearing error if u tilt a little, same with this phone having some mechanical errors which can not solved by software updates, sad but true.

For me, 4G with airtel network in India is giving 19Mbps download speed which is similar to s10+ where I get 18 to 19 Mbps.
I heard there are A, B and C modals of this device not sure if network issues exist in few type/modals.
167 new firmware released primarily to address camera and call quality issues.
OP can check if new firmware helps.

There was an update yesterday claiming to address the flip camera issue however my mobile camera continues to have the problem. From what I understand the image flipping creates the problem on my mobile. The main camera flips images on final position in selfie or rear camera mode & exactly at that point where the image correction is supposed to happen my screen whites out intermittently.
Can someone please help & advice.

Just wondering many claims here, I have been using 8 / 256 Gb model for few weeks now. Everything works just fine.
Asus camera is a good one. No need for GCam, but you can install it too (just like I did). Just install the latest arnova8G2 for Zenfone 6 (camera API2 is supported by Asus, so you need just install GCam).
I prefer usually Xiaomi phones, but I decided to chose this one instead of waiting Global K20 Pro. Just happy with my new Asus Zenfone 6.
After use of 1 month this phones camera works slow portrait mode woks slow one single picture takes 4sec to process which is very slow if we compare with one+, image process time is too slow of 6z

[Ask][Help] Short Video recording (camera overheat and closing)

Just want to ask if anyone has a solution to the XZ problem which is the camera easily overheat and forcing the camera app to close. I can only take 5 minutes(max) for the rear camera and about 12 minutes(max) at the front. Is using Custom Rom or AOSP 10 allow the camera to record longer videos even if it's heating a bit? thanks in advance. btw I'm using my XZ for my online class so it's a pain cant open the camera long enough.
sorry this sony xperia xz is also a chronic problem and there is no solution
