Camera Issues, cant understand what's wrong?

I am not able to understand these white/blue spots across the images. Please see the attached images and zoom in to look in the highlighted areas. It's not dust for sure as I have cleaned the lens and the photos were shot in auto mode (no change in ISO etc). IS there an issue with Nougat beta camera or is my sensor damaged?:crying:

What variant you have (L09 or L04) and which firmware you're running (B1..)?!

I am sorry for hijacking this forum, but I have an Honor V8 variant (the big sized version) with EMUI 5.0. beta. There is no xda forum on this model, hence I posted here. I am not sure if the s/w is the issue as I tried it with other camera apps as well producing the same issue

try a 3rd party camera to see if it is still there, if so try reflash stock rom.

If 3rd party apps don't work, then look if there's an update for your phone

I am on latest nougat beta (b355) for V8. I dont think its a camera issue as other camera apps give the same result. Before I reflash the stock rom, I need to know if this could be a hardware/sensor issue?

yes it is probably a hardware issue, but you will have to flash stock to completely rule out a software issue. back up data using twrp

Its a 50 50 situation, some early buyers of honor 8 had the same issue, but after an OTA it's gone.
If it's a hardware issue, return it back if you have warranty.

A friend of mine had the same issue but it was fixed after the update.

Do you mean those spots on zooming in? I have been through 2 beta-Nougat updates, but its not yet resolved. I will factory reset over this weekend and check.

Did you experience this problem when you were using the original version of android that came preinstalled on your device? If you did then it's probably a hardware problem. Which can only be fixed by the manufacturer.

Ok, before I factory reset, I just realized that RAW format is completely fine. However the same jpegs are showing these dead pixels (or bright spots). Is this something s/w related or hardware? Are the raw images processed by s/w or sensor & s/w?

It's a software issue, don't worry.
If RAW images are fines, then it's just a problem of processing when taking a JPEG photo
An update should fix this

Some images rendered perfect while images taken in bright light show these spots/pixels. I did check my initial pics and most of them turn out to be fine. Also, as I mentioned in my later post, the Raw formats are good, but their jpegs are with these spots.
@CronaMell, thanks. I will still reset and update here. It will be an expensive affair to send this device back to China from India. It's better I sell it off here.

It's better for you, and when you buy a device make sure it's officially supported in your country (like honor 8) .
All the best

I'd contact Honor directly and ask them about the problem. Maybe they will release a software patch for it. But I have never heard the Honor 8 had this problem.

I just did a factory reset. The issue persists. Is there a way I could downgrade to EMUI 4.1 rom? I am on Nougat beta and that could be still an issue which I need to exclude. Factory reset keeps the same version of the ROM, I need to downgrade to EMUI 4.1 (Marshmallow) and check.

Also, I suspect the raw images are not processed correctly. Is there a way to change any library associated with image processing? I am able to process raw files on my computer without any issues. I am not rooted, but willing to take that step if it solves this issue.

Unfortunately, we don't know the exact files (libs that are responsible for image processing)

You would have to contact Honor directly for instructions on how to restore Marshmallow back onto your device. They will also be able to provide you with a link to the Marshmallow firmware for your device.

MIUI V8.2.4.0.MBEMIDL Global Stable Released

Get it while it's hot :
http://en.miui.com/download-320.html

Anyone have tested this? Is there any improvements from V8.2.1.0 or still prefer the old V8.1.2.0? So, here i am waiting for feedback.

I'm on it since this morning, pretty much the same I'd say, the change-log has a few things like swipe to dismiss notifications on lockscreen and a few bugfixes.

How is your experience with the temperature & battery life? Can you share some screenshots of your SOT? Did the bugs at V8.2.1.0 finally fixed in V8.2.4.0?
Sent from my Redmi 4 Prime using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Bet this rom weighs more than an average car....

I was using stock 8.2.1 Global Stable. After auto-updating to 8.2.4, had sound glitches, unlock lag and Telegram bugs I've never seen before. I don't recommend to migrate to this version from 8.2.1.

I haven't had any sound glitches or unlock lag (I don't use telegram).
As for battery life it's great, 2 days use, 6 hours SOT so far and I have 50% battery left (4G on all the time).

5th day with the phone. i got it update it to 8.2.4, charged it, unlocked bootloader, installed twrp/root and i had about 10 hours sot during a 3 day period on 2g and a little 3g and wifi disable when screen is off. those 10 hours included a lot of restarts that consume energy a lot of copying things via wifi browsing messenging and a few calls. no problems so far hope i helped.

This update don't bring big changes. Don't understand why you afraid of update. All work's fine including battery life and performances.

Upd:
1. Sound issues and Telegram bugs - no more. One-time glitch?
2. Usual Xiaomi micro-lags when switching apps seem to disappear. So 8.2.4.0 feels way more smooth for me.
3. Battery life - no noticeable changes.
4. MiPicks app added along with annoying ads.

I wonder Why eu version not yet published ?

Sorry for this silly question, how can i update to 8.2.4 if I have TWRP recovery? Can I just take OTA update or do I need to flash the zip file via TWRP?

You'll have to flash via TWRP cause the OTA uses the built in Xiaomi recovery (which you dont have anymore since you installed TWRP).

xiaomi.eu is based on the china rom, not the global. they won't release until there's an official release for the CN rom.

Thanks for your reply. Another question, do I need wipe anything before flash this rom? And also do ineed to root it again after flash the rom?

Yeah you should wipe the cache and davlik cache at least before flashing the new rom. Full wipe would be best.
To get root you'll have to re-flash the super su zip file after you flash the rom.

Re' 8.2.4.0 global
Just did a clean full wipe and flashed epic zip again for another try, though I still have noticeable battery drain.
Thinking of going 8.2.4.(and then uninstalling a few apps n' make a few minor mods for better battery life)
I have twrp installed, read somewhere I can not get rom updates via OTA due to this. (As MIUI recovery is needed for update?) Is that true?
In which case does that mean when there is a new global rom update, and I flash zip in twrp(if that's the case) I would lose my settings and aps? (Guess I would) Or as it's newer/similar global update could I get my settings back from mi cloud or Titanium back up?
Tired of changing roms and then setting up all the apps.
Sorry if this a newbie type question.
Thanks for any info (=

Tried to delete my last post, without luck, found answer/s in other threads (=

The zip file is corrupt

I dont think so. There was firmware, for example the radio that was updated when I flashed the update.zip. You can update to B212 if you want and stay on that.
Normally one can just flash systemless SuperSU or Magisk to patch the boot.img for root but when you do that to any boot.img on the X2 you get app freezes, freezes when charging etc. The only root that works properly is system root but the kernel and boot needs to be patched to allow system root or else it won't boot. I'm not that great with boot images so I've been using the B212 boot that was patched from the HRT Team (KangVIP). If they release a B227 KangVIP or a patched boot.img then I'll start using that boot.img in my next builds.

Here you go. Stock B227 Rooted, Lightly Debloated with Google Apps. I left in the stock Chinese Music Player. Kernel is from B212 so root will work. EMUI version is 4.0.3. Double tap to wake does not work in B227. I enabled it but it doesn't work. Why Huawei keeps removing features like that is a mystery to me.

I'm not on the beta program and I just got the update tonight.
No change log or any message telling what was the update beside saying it was a security update.

The battery percent indicator has been removed from the accu-settings?

Please, run from it
I got that update on OTA (the 10.0.4 version), and now I have a crippled phone. Low brightness, poor battery life, troubles with WiFi networks above 2.4Ghz (now I miss my 5Ghz WiFi on my modem), and some apps doesn't even work fine. Also, finger scanner got slow, and I have troubles with mobile network. I'm afraid of finding more failures as I use it.
So, if someone is reading this and get the notification, please scrap it and don't install the updates unless you hate your phone.

You need to do two things: change slots and wipe dalvik.
Code:
fastboot set_active a
1. Change slots can be done with fastboot or twrp
2. Wipe dalvik can only be done with twrp that can decrypt your internal storage...
If you are really lucky, changing slots will be enough.
Background: Daisy has two slots. In every slot there are all the partitions, the phone needs to boot - so you have some kind of backup.
Only data is not double. Normally you are on slot a. When you get an update, it will be installed to slot b and after that it changes to b to boot the new partitions.
I changed the slots after updating to 10.0.3.0 and wondered, why my phone was again 10.0.2.0... So, if you are lucky, you can just change slots with fastboot.

Question Xiaomi 12 cupid no OTA update

Hi,
My Xiaomi 12 still hasn't gotten an new update and is stuck on MIUI 13.0.27.0( SLCEUXM) with security patch of oktober 2022.
I would like to get to the latest miui 14 and would like to know what is the best way to manually update this safely with a original ROM?
Should I do this incrementally start at MIUI 13.2.6.0 and then go to the next till I get to the latest or can I just update to the latest MIUI 14 directly?
Tnx

Gradually is the safest method.
Skipped the Beta stables.

Thank you for the quick response.
I downloaded the MIUI downloader app are those ROMS good to?
I need to choose for a recovery ROM and then I can install it with the updater app right? So starting with version MIUI 13.2.6.0 would be the safest?

Downloaded from the site I told you, if the downloaded choice 'incremental update in yellow'.
Then go to OTA, 3 points at the top right, install update (if this does not appear, tap the Miui logo several times).
If it works, try OTA first.

You mean this one right?
It says it's only around 80mb is that correct?
When it's for a update from Android 12 to Android 13.

Error on my part, take the full rom.
it's the first A13 before yours.
If that doesn't work, download the incremental update of the current rom and then check if an update is offered.

So I tried to install the stable recovery ROM MIUI 13.2.6.0.TLCEUXM but it didn't work I keep getting this message "can't verify update can't flash this stable rom"
Then I tried a newer version recovery ROM MIUI 14.0.5.0.TLCEUXM but same message.
Also tried your suggestion to use the incremental update of the current ROM V13.0.27.0 but then I got the message "can't verify update can't downgrade ROM version"
Do you have any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

Try to change region (Belgium/Usa/change continent/country) and restart afterwards.
Then turn on WiFi and check for updates.

Try to change region (Belgium/Usa/change continent/country) and restart afterwards.
Then turn on WiFi and check for updates.

Tried changing the continent/country and turn wifi back on after restart but no updates were found.
I really didn't want to try messing with the bootloader because of the warranty. I also read somewhere Google play services and bank apps not working when its unlocked.
Anything more I could try without unlocking?

Nope, you can re-lock the bootloader after installing the stock rom.
No need with a Xiaomi Eu rom (certified play store, everything works).

Error on my part, take the full rom.
it's the first A13 before yours.
If that doesn't work, download the incremental update of the current rom and then check if an update is offered.

Only thing I haven't tried, is using the incremental update of that version V13.2.6.0 because it was only 80 mb. If I try this update and it works will it then download the ROM information on it's own or something?

Nope,only solution unlock the bootloader.

Just to be sure I downloaded the 2 latest versions that I hadn't tried yet.
The recovery ROM of version MIUI 14.0.7.0.TLCEUXM and 14.0.8.0.TLCEUXM.
And they both seem to work
Since I'm still on Android 12 now and missed so many updates in-between these 2 latest versions. Would it be safe to install one of these?

Doesn't matter, it will work or not.
Note that if you have a bootloop afterwards, with the bootloader locked you will have to pay to recover your phone (this sometimes happens).

So it's not safe to just install one of these recovery versions manually with the updater?

Never at 100% with forcing.
EDIT:moreover, even regular updates via OTA can lead to a bootloop.

So it's just a risk of updating no matter what version I use. I never had a boot loop before.

Zero risk does not exist and this risk increases when you force the update by skipping versions.

Oke, yeah I wanted to do it step by step till I got to the latest miui 14 and still don't get why the older versions don't work.
The only older version I could find that also worked was version V13.0.33.0.SLCEUXM but can't find much about that update.

Logical sequence
