Camera problem

Hi, I've got a problem with my H8. The camera is basically really good - but only if the ratio 4:3 is configured. When I configure 19:6 (nothing else), a weird grid is shown on the photo. A grid is visible on the view before the photo is taken and on the photo either. I tried restore the app, download third parties apps and factory reset too, but no change. What's wrong?
I can't post pictures since I'm new member. Please go to "alexisbb dot cz/no_grid.jpg" and "alexisbb dot cz/grid.jpg"

I think you opened the assertive grid on the camera function. To shut it down: open the camera app->draw right to open the settings->assertive grid->off. Hope can help you!

It happened to a lot? it's a software issue and it will get fixed

I did some small investigation and I'm the only one with this problem. But I found a thread here with the same issue, seems to be some SW problem...

There are 2 other members with the same problem.

I've the same problem

I reported it to the Czech support and they know nothing about this. They recommended me return a phone.
Is there any official information, that Huawei/Honor know about this and will fix it?

Nothing yet, honor have no comment about this issue

just FYI - today I got new phone (black version) and it has the same issue. I checked all Honor 8s in the showroom and only black ones had this "bug". Seems to be black Honor 8 related bug.

like in moba when i walk i cant use my skill
this only occurs in the bottom and top part of the screen in landscape
running on android 7.0
ta-1032 variant
should i update it to fix the problem?
EDIT:
Contacted support and said that NOKIA 3 has only multitouch in the middle of the screen

No you are not the only one there are a lot of complains in Nokia community forum about this. And by the way I too have the same problem so I don't feel like playing games on my Nokia 3.I am running on the latest version 7.1.1 and the problem is still there.

the nokia support said that they will investigate it

If it was only a software problem Nokia should have fixed it when they upgraded Nokia 3 from 7.0 to 7.1.1. There could be a chance this problem was not reported when Nokia was in 7.0.
And if it is a hardware limitation then shame on Nokia and its reputation. Even a 40$ phone has good multi touch screen for gaming and other stuff and here comes Nokia who sold millions of defective product to their customers.

Same problem here...I bought this phone 6 months ago and I still have this problem after all updates..
It's very frustrating because I can't play games with Analog + Button control that are placed on the edge of the screen....I think I will replace it with a Huawei P10 Lite..

Wait for the Oreo update which will be arriving anytime now. And if this problem still persists after that then consider switching.

Yes the problem still exists after Oreo beta and its annoying as hell. Well already reported in feedback app. Lets hope it resolves in next beta build.

i think the issue is hardware based because i broke the glass of my nokia 3 and now i can touch the edges simultaneously

now is the latest update for Oeo. October 18, 2018, but the touch screen problem is still the same

Solved! But
Unfortunately it's a hardware problem, the display is faulty, I changed my display with a Chinese display designed for nokia 3, now the multi touch works fine, it cost me $20 something, but the quality is poor, top part got cracked after I sat with the phone in my jeans pocket, I've put a protective glass on top, but it works perfectly fine, it's been around 4 months now, another issue is screen bleeding, but I don't care anymore, it does the job of a smartphone, I'll recommend this display only if u have shattered the original display Which is quite difficult to do so?, but in my case water damaged, so I put the Chinese one, as the original costs half the value of phone around $60 (INR.4000)

Repeating characters whenn typing

Has anyone else had an issue where characters are repeated when typing (like in the title)? Had the phone for a week now and I'm really impressed but this little issue is ddriving me nuts. I thought it was an issue with SwiftKey but swapping for the built in Gboard hasn't resolved the issue. I'm running the current firmware release C432. Happens with sspacees too...So odd?.

Same problem here.

This happened to me once or twice. I noticed that it happened when I accidentally swiped over the keyboard instead of typed a letter. Maybe the same happened to you.

Thanks for your responses. I've noticed that it got worse the more quickly I typed. I did a power cycle (AKA Magic Reboot) shortly after I made the post and it doesn't seem too bad now (typing this on a laptop). Doesn't look like it is "an issue" as such as its only a couple of people reporting it here. Hard to tell as it has not been available long so the user-base will be fairly small.

There was another thread where a few of us were discussing... The 130 update definitely reduced touch sensitivity so there are missed touch points when typing and also repeating letters when typing fast.. The 100 firmware was fine.. I did send them a message on HiCare and they said they'd pass it over to the dev team.. Hopefully the next update fixes it..

That's interesting... I'll try contacting them using that method. Was it the Live Chat facility? It has been doing it all through this message but I've been spell checking as i go. Only served to remind me how annoying this issue is. Bar that. I love this phone?.

I tried the Live Chat facility and they suggested clearing the Cache Partition. I did that and still get the issue (typing this on laptop). He said that it was the first case he had heard of this happening (funny how they always say that...). I might try the live chat again to see what can be done. I mentioned about the lack of feedback/bug report and he said he would "pass it on" so not much use really.

It seems puzzling that if it were a software issue, then everyone running the 130(C432) release would we mentioning it on this forum. As it seems a little quiet with regards to that, this make me think its a hardware issue affecting a limited number of handsets.
I'm hoping that the next update (overdue for Feb and now due for March update) may fix it. If not, I'll be sending it off for repair with John Lewis in the UK where I bought it from.

Fellas, the bug is also known as "double tapping" and it software related only. Few years ago Huawei P8 Lite had it and after a several updates it was fixed.

I finally did the factory reset as suggested by support a while back and strangely (had no hope that it would fix it), the issue has (so far) not returned .
I'm wondering if the issue occured as a result of the the January 130 update which started to install as soon as I connected the phone to the WiFi when I first set up the handset. Anyone else who are having the issue after the update but have not done a factory reset, I recommend that they try it. If you have done the reset, do you still get the issue?
Hopefully the 140 update (due any day?) will now sort out the dropping bluetooth whilst streaming music.

My factory reset seemed to resolve the issue but it came back shortly afterwards but not as bad as it was previously. That or I've become more accustomed to it. EIther way, it is still here. I take it you are not on the C432 (UK?) variant like mine? No sign of the 140 update for me yet which seems to resolve it for some users suffering the same issue.

[Philippines] S9+ User Thread

Welcome Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ owners!
come and share your thoughts and reviews about the device here. :good:​

Waiting for mine on March 26 via Globe Retention. Gonna replace my HTC U11

What pre-order goodie did you guys get? I chose the wireless charger, the speakers would have been nice but I don't have a use for them

I actually got the accessory vouchers, but as per my friend, if you will be buying the galaxy through an installment plan only the charger/speaker are available as freebies.
I have to double check with samsung though, just to be sure.

Yeah! Love my new phone! I got it on March 16th. 128gb S9 plus.. Anyone here? Helloo...

Got ours from lazada. 128 gb is not available from samsung stores except for those who preordered, colors available for walk-in clients are also limited

got mine last match 21 from globe pre-order. anyone noticed about the yellowish screen? different viewing angles like from side, up and down got more nicer color (suppposed to be the real color) than facing directly on screen as it is really yellowish. need replacement or is this just normal? this is exynos variant here.
also had this finger print scanner problem few days ago but thankfully totally gone for now, what happened was that when i tried to open my phone using finger print nothings happened, then tried to turned on the screen and keep using the finger print 'til a pop up meesaged appeared stating "...if it keeps happening try restarting the phone" then I did it and voila problem gone but keeps coming back around 3x but luckily since yesterday it didnt came back and hoping will really not come back. wondering what caused that thing? a faulty hardware or software problem?

since march 21 so almost 3wks now.

I had it for almost a month now. I bought an XTC openline, and I still don't have the OEM unlock, which is odd. I'm not rooting it anytime soon because of the dual speaker and the sound is satisfactory. Im always rooting my phone for the Viper4. But still, I'm itching for a root but I don't see the need yet. Why is my OEM not unlock yet? I don't want a factory reset.

Bought it from the local Samsung store before it was out for sale. I've enabled it right away. Did a factory reset several times so that I can root it, when it was still new. It didn't appear, so I've waited for 7 days but still no OEM unlock. It's a good thing I'm happy with the speed and sound. There's supposed to be a patch from Note 8 that works with s9, it was a supposedly a bug or a bug from knox or something.... But I'm not in a rush to root it, which is weird because I always root my phone for the Viper4 but I think the sound of this device is good enough for me.

It finally appeared, the OEM unlock button, at exactly 1 month that I bought this.
I'm getting one of the best battery life with stock, definitely not rooting it yet.

Bought mine at Greenhills. 256 GB model. They said the unit is from HK.
---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------
Apparently the unit from HK with 256 GB have different Samsung Keyboard layout. Any thoughts on how I can change the Samsung Keyboard layout?

anyone tried rooting using kingroot, iroot alike app? did it trip the knox? is it possible while oem still in locked mode? hope someone tried as for now I can't do it since I can't backup my files incase disaster came.

Google Maps Issue

Just thought i would make a threat to address the google maps being laggy / unresponsive.
It can usually be fixed by changing the display to HD+ mode if this was bugging anyone like it was myself.

i actually do have that problem- in hd+ mode :/

Thanks, that did help but not ideal. We can't not enjoy the FD+ just because it will slow down Google Maps. Come on Google, sort it out!!

I guess Google blames it on Huawei, and Huawei blames it on Google. The fact remains that these problems were also reported on the Mate 10, 6 months ago and no progress has been made.

Don't have this issue. CLT-L09 variant.

Came here from the P20 forum. I have the same problem on my device.

CLT-L09 here, used maps yesterday with no problems or lag

Good to see it's not just me.
It's laggy as hell for me. Far slower than it was on my LG G4 that I just moved from. So slow and jumpy!

Same issue here, hopefully either Huawei or Google will fix the issue over next week or so. (I can use the workaround till then but it is mildly annoying)

Strange how some people have this issue and others not. Maybe it's region dependent? I have a UK P20 Pro (Three network - dual sim) and I have been using it for navigation for a few days now with no issues. It is pretty much running the same as it did on my Galaxy S8+.
Not noticed lag anywhere so far! Scrolling is better than it was on any of my previous Samsung devices.
My only issue is the stock icons and launcher. It looks too outdated. I'll stick Nova on it soon when I have the time to set it all up.

I have the same phone (P20 Pro Dual SIM from Three), though as per one of the previous comments, mine is a CLT-L29 as opposed to CLT-L09. Could that be the reason?

What exactly is the issue? Is it terrible lag? I want to understand how bad the situation is and when it happens to see if I can reproduce it.
I have the same model as you, so I find it very strange. Are you using a third party launcher or have you done anything else to your device since you set it up?

You can see the glitch here.

I find this strange also as I have never seen it. In fact maps has been super fast for me. I am dual SIM from three UK. CLT-L29 model

It is strange. I have tried to uninstall updates and install it again and they didn't seem to work.
The slowness is in the lag when you try to move the map or even when clicking around or when searching.
With FD+ switched off, it seems to work absolutely fine. Just like it did on my Nexus 6P
Hopefully, it will be fixed soon, so for now I am just going to live with HD+ setting

It's poor if it's been a known issue for 6 months. I'm on EE in the UK (see attached) and I feel cheated if I have to change the screen resolution for a mainstream, hugely popular app to work as it should.
It's made me nearly as unhappy as when I discovered that only one of my P20 Pro's speakers were working.
That's not normal, right?! ?

What software build are you guys on? I am on 8.1.0.103 and I have the maps issue. I saw that an online reviewer at android authority was using software 8.1.0.106 and said they were on "beta" software... lol. Am I on alpha then?
Can anyone confirm if maps works on 8.1.0.106?

Looks like maybe the dual sim works (maybe the firmware version)
I'm on 103 on L 09 (UK single sim) and it took me ages to work out why maps wasn't working.

Hmm, this is even weirder! I am on dual SIM and my firmware version is only 8.1.0.102, which doesn't match with anyone of the versions you are talking above.
I miss my stock android on Nexus already :'(
