Hey guys, I currently have an S6 and want to make the switch to the Z5 but was wondering about the lag while in camera.
I was at the store today and noticed when you're using the camera it lags moving it around. Do you guys experience this or was the store demo just not updated?
Any additional thoughts from anyone who has switched from the S6 to Z5?
I just tried right now, definitely no lag here

I have no lag. Do you mean the live demo? Viewfinder thing?
I have terrible lags all the time. Hoping marshmallow will fix it... Viewing Internet also lags but camera is just making me mad...
No lag here.

Yeah the camera lags or skips, more so in low light. Just the interface though and pics come out fine, albeit they take a bit to save sometimes.
If you're talking about framerate, yeah occasionally it seems like the framerate in Superior Auto mode is a bit low and choppy.
What version of the camera apk are you experiencing lag with, v2?

I have version 1.0. Any way to update?

Yes, xevious was on the ball. I was meaning to say framerate. It seemed to drop when in camera just moving the phone around.
Is this and image preview lag the same?
Such a long stretch from Z1 which had a 60fps preview.
Anyone else noticed considerable shutter lag? It always pauses and captures what happens a split second after the screen pauses....

It s Software Issue but it can be in application layer or maybe lower level.
When Camera Detect the light it needs process to show Preview
this can be lag in that process.
try another Firmware
I mean try to Flash stock firmware of another Region.

i really want to buy mate 8 and i love it but i'm afraid from one thing i'm a user that root his phone and use xposed and flash roms
my question is rooting and xposed will work on this phone without problems?
and i think for mate 8 there is no number of custom roms
it is nornal that the phone is new but my question is like after 2 years when the phone stop to recieve update it will be a custom rom for it ? like Cyanogen?
Root yes ,xposed not working, stock ROM is very good with Google now launcher
I don't believe that CM is making ROMs for Mate 8
Sent from my HUAWEI NXT-L29 using Tapatalk
Root works, xposed works, no cm ROM in sight but delete a bunch of bloat apps, replace them with Google apps instead, and use layers manager along with theme app for a very close to aosp ROM feel
Have to say, was very anxious to find out how Emui would be in practice. If it would be bloated, ugly, overkill, etc.
But now, after using the device for a few days, can honestly say that I wouldn't want it to be any other way! The amount of things you can change, set or extract techy data from is enormous. Don't want stock Android anymore. Don't want CM13. This is it. Emui rulez! :good:
It's fast, smooth, does it all. No regrets. Can't / won't downgrade to stock/ AOSP / CM

Mine doesn't even get warm. There are no dots on the screen either. Having a large battery makes it charge a little slower but mine charges fast if I use the original ac adapter and cable.

Hello everybody, I was wondering if someone could tell me the best mate8 model to buy I will be using it in the usa. I'm using the mate2 now and it is a solid mid-ranger. I have unlocked the bootloader and have cm13 running on it now. I would appreciate your suggestions on the mate8 models and why you pick it. Thanks..
I'm interested in buying a Mate 8 and I was wondering if you can shoot RAW pictures using the Mate 8?
I know that it has a "Pro Mode" option but I can't find any videos online showing a full indept review of that feature, so could anyone explain/elaborate on that?
Many thanks in advance!

Most Raw-capable camera apps you can download from the Play Store won't work as well due to crap implementation on Huawei's side:

If you wish to buy a Huawei phone and need RAW image files, you have to wait for the release of P9 (April 16th) or P9 Plus (May 20th) that both offer this functionality.
Thank you guys for the reply.
That's really sad to hear then. My LG G4 recently died on me with the infamous boot loop problem and I can't get it fixed anytime soon. I might wait for reviews of the new P9 but I do like the Mate 8 as well though. I'd just have to sacrifice RAW function then =/

It's not only a matter of RAW vs non-RAW... P9/P9 Plus dual camera has been yet tested by some reviewers and defined a significant step forward compared to Mate 8 (but still worse than Samsung S7).

You are right, there's more to it than just RAW, but having RAW function is usually beneficial as you can process the picture later and not rely solely on the phone's image processor. Although if the phone's image processor is good to begin with then you shouldn't need RAW.
My G4 had RAW and I quite liked it, managed to get some good shots during my holiday before it died on me(luckily it died after my vacation was over, lol).
How is the Mate 8's Pro/Manual Mode? Is it any good?

This happens usually when light falls directly on the lens. This light acts as a backlight on the image. So, click pictures in backlight mode by using a custom camera app.

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing a weird issue with the volume buttons. After a while of using my phone without a reboot it happens that, if I hit a volume down or up button, the volume jumps many steps by just on click. It gets almost impossible to adjust the volume properly. The only thing to get normal volume behavior is to reboot the phone. However after another while the volume button bug appears again.
Does anyone have an idea how to repair this bug?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Check for any updates released by the company. Mostly, issues like this are fixed in updates. If nothing works, try flashing a custom ROM.

Hello guys, maybe I'm a bit offtopic but here's my question. I want to buy a new android smartphone (I'm coming from Apple's iPhone 5S) and I think I'm gonna buy one of the Huawei. However, I'm a bit confused. I'm in between of the P9 Lite (the 3 GB Ram variant) and the Honor 8. I'm not gonna go heavy use on either of them but I want to have good multitasking as I often forget to close background apps and I don't care about heavy gaming either. Here are the advantages and disadvantages I figured out myself yet:
Honor 8: OTG, more RAM, USB-C, fast-charging
I didn't found anywhere the SAR values
P9 Lite: FM Radio Receiver, 100€ less on my country, IPS Panel
Less RAM, no OTG, high SAR values
The other thing I'm concerned about is about the modding of the smartphones. Are there any custom roms, or cm roms?
If anyone could help me I would very grateful. Does the 100€ more worth?

It shouldn't get hot when you are taking pictures... I'd contact Honor and report the problem to them.

Honor 8 all the way,it s worth the 100$. The SAR as i saw here on XDA is one of the biggest,like 1.42( no ideea what ??).
But the camera and the speed is better than the P9 lite,and the design,the design is way batter,and the battery i think.

I just got this phone last night and spent the morning rooting it to install viper4android and Im pretty disappointed at how low the volume is with this phone even with everything maxed. My $40 budget Samsung blew this thing out of the water volume wise.
Is there no way to mod any of the sound files to get more volume from the DAC? I notice there is no default_gain.conf like Samung phones and Mixer_paths.xml is blank. This is a great phone but the sound is an absolute bummer.

He already did.
After adding Atmos to the v4a I was able to get a small increase by turning on virtualizer and volume leveler. It's still not too my liking but it definitely is better which I am grateful for.
There is nothing you can edit manually as far as gain or headphone volume in any config/XML files on this thing? These audio apps are able to make a difference but it's nowhere near enough. On my phone the 2/3 volume to full volume really doesn't change at all only the slider changes position.
some dev could pls try to port stereo speakers mod which is available for mi 3 which makes earpiece has speaker

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

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.

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.
