720p60fps?

Guys, many reviews say h8 has 720p60fps video capability. But I don't find it in the video settings. 60fps is only available for 1080p. Is it available in other region models?

Have u taken a video in 720p settings? If so plz check the video properties if it was captured under 60 fps

I also have this, although I don't care much about video recording, only 1080p recording have the 60fps option here

We he should check the 720p video properties and he will know, as he dint replied may be he knew that he is wrong

Not sure what reviews you've looked at, but I haven't seen any state this. It's simply not true. The Honor 8 (and most phones) only offers 60fps in 1080p.

Me too.

Guys apologies for the confusion. I remember reading it somewhere and hence was wondering if it's missing. Anyways 60fps is only on 1080p.
Peace...

Snapchat

Hello
Is there no one who can optimize Snapchat for our Honor 8? The H8 has a great camera and it's sad to see Snapchat not getting everything out of it. Is there any developer here who can do something about it? I know my best option would be contacting Snapchat but I doubt they will do something about it.

Wrong section. Post your question in Q&A. Thanks.

According to Snapchat their app has issues on the Android platform itself. Snapchat is planning to rewrite the Android app for the platform. This is what happens when you're not OS agnostic.
Currently, I doubt anything can be done about it since Snapchat is a closed source app. Unless, of course, some of the Jedi hackers on XDA are able to optimize it with the power of The Force.

Snapchat is rubbish anyway.

The thing is on Android because of the different kinds of hardware snapchat uses this bizzare way of optimising per device. It limits the resolution of the video or photo taken to the resolution of the screen. So for instance even if I had a high end phone with the best camera but with a 720 or 1080p display and my friend has a mid range phone with a 1440p display he'll definitely have great quality. The Honor 8 usually takes photos at a much higher resolution and snapchat just doesn't let it do so.

Some Samsung are making good photos even with Snapchat on zoom per example but with my Honor 8 if I zoom something it sucks

I don't use SnapChat, but everything I've heard about it indicates the programmers of the Android version were lazy and just take screenshots while the camera is on instead of actually using the camera to take the picture. That's why the resolution sucks and you get such poor quality when you zoom in. It is not a full resolution picture.
However, the weird spinning issue you have is likely due to the Honor 8's jacked up gyroscope. We can't use VR apps because of it. It seems to affect 100% of Honor 8's yet no update is coming to fix it. Not a high enough priority, I guess.

I read that Snapchat is going to rewrite the app from scratch on Android is this true? And when it will come out?

Yes. B394 Honor 8 running Android 7. I don't have any trouble with it and didn't have in previous versions of EMUI either. Tested with 360 Youtube videos.

I don't use Snapchat, but if they don't work it is totally because of the Snapchat's poor coding.

Yeah the app is pretty poorly developt for such a big company. But the 3D figures work perfectly on the honor 9 of my friend so i think it might have something to do with the messed up gyroscope of the honor 8. I hope honor will fix this in Android oreo but i dont expect it to happen. Sadly.

Missing "HQ-Mode" in camera app

Hello!
I currently miss the "HQ-Mode" from the OP3 in the camera app from the OP6.
Did I miss something to enable it or is the "HQ-Mode" not available anymore on the OP6?
I find the pictures from the HQ-Mode from the OP3 very good as in this mode multiple pictures were merged into one single pic.
As I don't have the OP5 or OP5T I don't know if the "HQ-Mode" was available there too or substituted by another mode.
Do someone have more information in this regard?
Thanks in advance and sorry if this question is commonly known.

It was present on the OP5, but now it disappeared. I don't know if it's coming back to OP6.

Okay, but HDR is something different as HDR is for making the colours more vibrant with merging 3 different exposured pictures into one picture and the HQ-Mode is "only" for more quality of the picture (less noise etc).
It were good if the HQ-Mode will come back with some update.

Have you got a link for your modded APK , tried it and it won't show HDR

Go to Netflix click on account it will take you to browser and your account, go to playback settings and select high , now swipe Netflix away and restart it turn brightness up at least 75% choose a hdr film it does take a few seconds for the quality to render up ,, best over wifi i have found for testing,,,,, some films look amazing some don't look as good in parts but it's deffo hdr.... You can always switch on your network speed in the icon bar to show how much data it's downloading ,, it's more data for hdr .. Here's apic of settings

Its not really a Mod Version -_- Just the first 5.X Version that had HDR Support.
The newest Version from the Store shows only HD, but I Compared them and all tough it doesn't say HDR it seems to be HDR.
Im sure an Netflix Update will come and it will show it properly. I also got the EVR-AL00 8/256 and received the HuaweiUpdate.

Yes, I could still click the button on the right to change the zooms. Also it's very easy to change the zoom by slide-up or slide-down anywhere in the camera screen.

Request to any P40 owner

There was an option in camera app on my previous Samsung Galaxy S8+, and it appears it's an option with Huawei's Mate 20 series, that allows the camera to only record slow-mo video when motion is detected.
However, this 'only record when motion detected' slow-mo option is missing on my P30 Pro.
Can anyone with a P40-series phone let me know if Huawei put it back in?
EDIT: Never mind. Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps. Here's what I captured:

Yes its back..

Could you possibly do me a favor and let me know the version of the camera app you have?
That way, I can try to find an APK to sideload.

Global or Chinese? Which Version?

I'm in the UK with p40pro so must be global. Just do a system software update to 10.1.0.114

Never mind - Turns out the option appears when you select 960 fps.
Here's what I captured:

Not sure if I'm finding the correct setting. But on my p40pro the option to record slow ow on on motion dection works on all fps options but you have to set the area where it my detect motion.

Off the topic query but how are you finding the p40pro till now in terms of camera and the software experience? ..i have ordered one here in UK and will probably get it in a couple of days

First off it it's a beautiful device and feels great in the hand. It's one of those devices that you find satisfying to touch.
The camera is excellent exactly how I expected it to be after owning a mate 20 Pro a last year, and that device ruined my experience of owning a note 10 plus as the camera on the note just couldn't compare.
Software is good although EMUI is one of my favourite android skins anyway. I find it pretty easy to live without gms as I don't really do social media or anything.
It is easy to put gms on this device although I took it off just to run a stock phone as stock. Due to the fact the only things I wanted from gms (Google pay and music) won't work anyway.
Main gripe with this phone is no gpay or banking apps. Hopefully Huawei can sort this soon. Oh and no stereo speaker or dolby atmos.
Now I need to decide whether to switch from my note 10 plus to this or not?

Thanks a lot..i had the note 10plus and i agree its a beautiful device though camera might be a level below p40pro. So its a tough decision.
I hv a iphone11 pro max and will probably use p40pro as a secondary phone mainly due to its camera

Yeah the note Is a good phone but Samsung ruined the note with a software update that made the camera blurry and the Bluetooth streaming skip on music play back. And seems as though I take 100+ inspection photos daily for work it's very annoying.
I just can't get on with Samsung ui either it's too much.
The thought of not being fully tracked by Google is quite refreshing as well.
It is weird how nice this phone feels... I find even if I'm not using it I just rotate it in the hand whilst watching TV odd.
