LOL ok guys srry for a bit of a bulky title but wanted to grab your attention. i now have face unlocking working on my gt-i9003 ,
using the visidon app lock,... i know what your thinking
"but that just locks your apps!"
well now in the settings you can click to use the BETA lockscreen. and it works!
and it works very well ive asked about 5 people to try and it would not unlock for them and more or less instantly works for me. low light does affect it...but do we care? save waiting for the fabled value pack!
another good thing about this app, it lets your take as many "training" images as you want...the more training images the more accurately it will unlock,. so i just clicked and clicked to take images while moving my head side to side and up and down, in , out ,shake it all about. about 30 images and its ACCURATE in good light you dont even have to look dead straight at the camera.
ive tried with the applock that was on the xda homepage the other day but that one didnt even pick up anyone's face at all.
i was gonna put a video of me testing the lockscreen but i just woke up, still on the first coffee n jj, so i dont look even slightly camera friendly lol
I really love the Oneplus 6, top to bottom, don't care the missing of the stereo speaker or the notch (cause OOS seem to deal with it quite good)
The only issue keeps me from buying it is the camera. I have seen a lot of reviews and comments about the camera and they are pretty mixed which confused me.
I need the phone to last for about 3 years or so and I mainly use it when I travel and to takes photos. I heard that there are updates that fix things but still read that there are issues.
Can you guys give me your own opinion about the camera and if I should go for it or move to the Galaxy S8 plus?
P/s: quite sure that I will try to use Gcam instead on both phone, have it on my old phone and it absolutely surprised me cuz the image came out quite nice for such an old phone.
Not a fan of any brands (except Iphone which I don't really like, but I do like Ipad and I don't hate Apple by any means) so if you have other recommendation under $500 then feels free to say, so far I only see these 2 are the best for what my budget can buy.
Thank you for your helps.
It's right there with the best cameras. It beats then in certain shots and they beat it on certain shots in the comparison tests. I still think it might be a hair behind the likes of the s9, pixel 2xl and I think it's better then the iPhone overall. It's close in low light to them, as good if not better in good light and it handled the bright areas better then dinner of this phones in not blowing out the highlights.
I have zero complaints and I'm an enthusiast photographer. Unless I'm doing a wedding or something really important, I have no issues using this camera. It more then does the job. Of course you can get a shot it doesn't handle well, but every PHONE is the same way. None will replace a dslr
The camera is mint works amazing!

Wow glad to hear from a photographer, I would definitely pick OP 6 if I don't mind the camera as I used to, but planned to go on multiple vacations with it and personally loves to take scenery photos so your reply helps a bunch.
Gonna take another look and get the OP 6. My friend has a deal for it with about 100$ off
No, it's not worth it. Theres bad oil painting effect in low light. Pics are very hit and miss, some are great, some are awful and now I have dust under the lens and I have a black spot I can't get rid of on photos. I certainly couldn't recommend it.

Darn that sounds bad, but I head it only apply to A6003 model?
Some of the people I know used the OP 6 but none reported that issues ((
But sounds worrying

Its not bad. On my recent trip to Canada and USA, I packed my Nikon 850. I took over 1200 pictures during my 2 weeks vacation. I might have used my Nikon for less than 75 shots. Convenience of phone camera outweighs the hassle of lugging a complete system. Unless you are taking pictures for a luving, this phone camera will be more than suffice to satisfy your shutterbug needs.
I strongly believe that it's not the camera but eye behind the camera that make or break the picture. If you are little dissatisfied with extremely low light shots, you can enhance in post production. Make sure to keep HDR option on. I had S8+ abd my wife still has S9 and I can tell you from a bormal viewing distance, you could not tell the difference apart. Remember, you can always switch to pro camera mode for better control. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I do really understand why you bring the links here but seriously I read all of those (except the video one since I'm not fond of that anyway, have like 1 or 2 videos taken with my 2.5 years old phone) and it's really confusing, some said good some said bad (and they do have evidence)
I check on xda (which tbh my trusty place to find user experience) and they are mixed.
I check on youtube with those reviewers I think that are not bs, and it's still mixed.
I check all those reviews on the internet and other forums, and it's still mixed.
I don't usually do these Q&A on XDA (this actually my first) because this is just too hard to decide this time.
Thanks you for your help but it yet solve my confusions.

That's interesting, I use it for my vacations and I love to take scenery shots (and probally a few shot with my friends or selfies but only a little as I don't like to take photos of myself or person in general)
I'm still yet decided if I stick with Samsung software or move to a custom rom since they both have pros and cons (and somehow I find the S8 forum is not really active?)
but I totally love the experience that I saw on the OP 6 so far.
If you have either of the phone or both, I would really love to hear more of your opinion, thank you.

That sounds really interesting, can i have a few of your shots to check out cause really I love the phone just the camera is bugging me.
If I need a phone purely for daily experience then this definitely in my pocket right now
Scenery shots will be best since I will use it mostly for scenery, thank you so much!

I am not sure who and why they are saying about the dust issues. Absolutely no dust issues here. Previously posted shots are the proof. You would have noticed diffraction if there was any dust. To put your mind at ease, spend $2 and buy tempered glass lens protector on Amazon, eBay, or Aliexpress. I dont even use cover or screen protector for my phone (never have used for the last 15 years or so). Rather than worrying about protecting, enjoy by actually using the gadget-my two cents worth advice.

I tend to drop my phone so probably a shockproof case (and be more careful since it's glass) but thank you so much for the advice! :highfive::highfive:
I chatted with oneplus chat and I called them up and I let them know that the fact that they gave us always on display for the first week of this phone and then took it away permanently was out of line, and I let them know that I did not upgrade to the OnePlus 6t just because it didn't have always on display. I would not like to double tap my screen to turn the fingerprint scanner on I think that's ridiculous and 1 + imotto is never settle yet we don't have always on display. I told them oxygen OS is getting stale looking and I do not like the way it looks, I told them the settings icons are ugly they don't look like stock Android pie to me at all, they're moving farther away from stock Android pie in my opinion. I told them it's not all about speed and battery it's about features and I think they're features are lacking. (Like I can't even search for an icon when I try to apply a custom icon, so instead I have to manually search for the icon) I told them I'm sick of having to get an invitation to buy something and never being able to purchase anything because always invitation-only or sold out. I said I didn't like being teased with launch events & watching everybody getting all this swag and I'm never able to purchase any of it. I told them that they need to get always on display like next week like now, I told them they need always on display ASP, I told them I want always on display and I told them again. I do not want a phone that does not have always on display. Ever again. So we should be getting always on display now shortly. You're welcome
Also I told them that I'm sick of them never releasing the proper blobs for the open betas so the developers can make a proper kernel for the open betas, I told them that's ridiculous, that's our favorite part about the phone, the kernels, and they never release the blobs for the community.
I told them I like to have peace of mind when I install a kernel and I don't like installing kernels I'm not sure is going to work properly with the newest beta release of oos, I said they need to fix that immediately. I told them I skipped the 6t & got the pixel 3 XL instead because I think the 6t is hella wack. If it would have came with always on display I would have bought it but it didn't and that's ridiculous. I'm sick of settling. There's more to a phone than speed and decent battery life. I like features. I like always on display. if you can believe this the OnePlus 6t doesn't even have always on display, no LED blinker and you got to double tap the screen to unlock it with your fingerprint. Wtf
They think we're stupid. The OnePlus 6 is much better than the OnePlus 6t for sure. If I'm going to spend $600 on a phone I wouldn't mind spending another hundred more to get everything I would like on the phone feature wise. I told them to stop trying to act brand new. I told them their cases look the same every year, their so 2014 and played out looking, they need to update their look of oxygen OS and their cases. I'M SO SICK OF EBONY WOOD & CARBON. I told them if they fix this next time they release a phone I'll buy it. but I'm not going to spend hours a day fixing my phone because they won't release the proper blobs for all their open bettas. We should start a campaign where they bring us always on display by December. how are we going to live in a world where are phone doesn't have always on display. this is torture no always on display is torture & we're definitely settling. That goes against everything OnePlus stands for. We're living without always on display, can you believe that, I don't like that janky rigged always on display mod either, the brightness is never right and it's only available for the stable releases of oxygen OS because they won't release the damn blobs. If I could have always on display a decent-looking interface for oos launcher with the settings icons looking like stock Android and not final fantasy 7, I'd be happy.
I need always on display and I need my settings icons to look like Android pie it's driving me crazy the way the settings icons look. I need blobs for my developers so I can start donating my a** off again. you guys know that the settings icons are so ugly and you know it bothers you too.
the settings icons are freaking ugly they're ugly ugly
the settings icons are ugly

No I kept it. ? I like it I just don't like the settings icons and I need always on display back. I wouldn't call the phone crappy but I feel like I'm settling 0n important features mainly aod, & the settings icons are so ugly to me
Come on everybody you know you really want always on display back it can easily be added back and you know the settings icons are super ugly come on how ugly are the settings icons. We would all be 20 times happier with always on display and normal looking Android pie settings icons. I can't just be me that is getting irritated with that. I flash a custom rom in the settings icons look so cool

They did burn us on the Aod though, and they never release the blobs for their open betas so we never get a completely working beta kernel. They're starting to cut too many corners. I'm really glad I skipped a 6t and just stuck with my 6 & went with the pixel XL 3 unlocked instead. I would really hate to have to double tap my screen just to turn on the fingerprint scanner. I did a pretty good job though of letting them know we want Aod back. I'm pretty sure they're going to be giving us Aod soon. And I bet they're going to get us a new settings icons too. I like always contact OnePlus chat so they know me really good so I'm pretty sure they sent the memo to the software team.I contacted OnePlus chat like 500 times in the last 6 months, I really like phones, OnePlus irritate me today because they wouldn't let me buy the backpack without an invitation code, I asked them "why they're trying to act brand new" and I told them there ebony wood & karbon cases are played out I was like I like the just black case the Google pixel offers. I told them this is getting really stupid that I have to win a competition to get an invitation to buy something or tap the phone 90,000 times to win something. I told them i don't have aod and the settings icons are ugly and no open beta blobs. Trust me they told the software team. I think the only way they might not give us the aod is they couldn't do it with the 6t for some reason, then they wouldn't give us that feature if they couldn't do it with the 6t. I don't know I need to get over it I got a pixel XL 3 who cares right it's just really annoying that I have to always fix my OnePlus 6, workout bugs trial and errors with all their bettas and no aod and now I got a winning invitation go to buy backpack. Their smoked out over at OnePlus. There's more to a phone than being really fast and have not having a lot of bloat. They have no features on this dang thing there's no features I hella like features and there's barely any features double tap to turn the screen off is a feature. I'm sick of trying to edit things and build props to get it things to work I'm just over it by the way who is this and why am I still talking to you my bad
OnePlus was the business in 2015 and 2017 but let's face it all good things come to an end and OnePlus definitely switching it up on us. The least they could do is give us stock Android look instead of this final fantasy 7 looking OS

Yeah bro. You rock! I know for a fact that the guys at OnePlus have a separate register for you because my uncle actually works there and he was telling me about you. Recently they actually launched a new subteam dedicated to listening to your responses because you are "the voice of the consumer" and you are known for "intense and to the point criticism that is extremely constructive". Every time you contact them there is a dedicated line opened for you and someone from the sub team is always on call to take input. Your reports are actually read by all of the upper management and not just the software team. We need you and more people like you to support us consumers man. I'm sure because of your efforts we will see AOD and AOSP settings icons added in the next update. In fact, and this is confidential information that could get my uncle fired, based on your reports, Carl Pei actually greenlit the secret update that enables the prototype in screen fingerprint scanner that is present in the OnePlus 6. Pretty cool huh?

? I I usually don't criticize them actually, just lately I've been criticizing them. I just don't think it's too much to ask to have aod on our phones. It's a pretty basic feature.and I just started complaining about the settings icons. I doubt OnePlus team knows about me but their chat definitely knows me.lol

have you seen the OnePlus aod it's the coolest one I've ever seen it's got the red ones it is so fly, it makes me so upset that I can't have that feature always-on cuz it is so cool looking. It's way cooler looking than my pixel aod.
Hey guys. I'm not a pro with programming, either good with mods. But I was thinking, with the new cellphones ones with underscreen fingerprint sensor, could we use to mod and try to use as camera? Like, in the 6t we have a transparent hole where they put a camera underneath, can anyone take a picture with that? Would be interesting and funny!

Does One Plus 7 Pro has Notification Led unlike One plus 6T ? Thanks
It have glowing edges!!
Looks this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=79526056
But does it stay on indefinitely? No good if it only flashes the edge once while I'm out of the room.
I hope it doubles as a strobe light...
I think it works like Samsung edge lighting... only goes through 1 cycle which is only for a few seconds. Same issue I have with the s10+ at the moment.

This is definitely true
I don't get it. Never Settle pushing out new hardware better this better that. But can't address this simple issue with notifications on screen. It seems like OnePlus is a name that has a big brand master that is playing deaf not hearing this. I don't give a rat's ass about 7/7pro till " never settle" will address simple issues with previous models.
Maybe support this brilliant developer and put LED light notification problem behind.

Not sure if you have been reading the thread or watch the launch event. A main point addressed has been the no Led notifications. There is a blue edge now for notifications.
Yes I've seen it. Someone was asking about duration of notifications and way to dismiss it. Happened to be AOE let you customize all that. I own 6T and with out help from outside developers OnePlus did nothing to fix it. Most of solutions I found out there are good projects but need some more work to make it flow less and that where oneplus should have step in. But apparently OnePlus don't care about 6/6T users. I know OnePlus got it in books already so who cares! Right ?
