Hi, I am coming from a galaxy s 2 because the photon had an HDMI port on the side and the gs2 didnt have ICS so i was like I mind as well get the photon and wait for the next big thing. Now that I have it, this sucker is annoying when it comes to speed and the lag factor. When scrolling through a dark application, why does the pix fade away a little and then returns to normal look when you stop scrolling. I notice this mostly on black apps but mainly all over the device. Is there not a lag fix? or is this pentile display really that bad?
I would appreciate if someone could help me out
Update: Thanks all. I got rid of the photon and got the galaxy s 2 epic 4g tough back. Couldn't take it. Thanks again to all who replied.
I've never seen that, but I hate dark apps. Got an actual example?

Yes.. just uploaded this example

A prime example and the ability for others to repeat it would be helpful.
Just looked at your video it its a rendering issue. Going to try and replicate it.
Not sure but check your launcher and see if it has and rendering options.. From your video it almost looks like frame tearing.

Try shutting off auto brightness. I think that May help with some of your rendering.

nope no options for that and auto-brightness being turned off doesnt do anything. Thanks for trying to help
Closest I can get is doing ##data# scrolling sideways.. I don't have any tearing but I do notice the text does dim a little when it is in motion but brightens back up once I stop..
Can't seem to fully replicate due to differences.. Post your phone info, ROM, launcher etc.
I am using 198_7 joker locked 4G ROM using the zeam launcher. I suppose more info about your phone would she's a little more light into diagnosing.

well the launcher may also be an issue but it's the stock launcher and stock rom..no root etc. The tearing as you say happening all over the device when scrolling... it also did this on the droid x 2.. i think it's motorola and them not focusing on the smoothness even though quadrant scores well. My stats are below for the phone
happens to me, I would think it has something to do with battery life. the more you refresh the screen.......weak, but makes sense!

There's definitely something weird there. That aint right.
One question is, your launcher has five icons but all the Photons I've seen have only four. Is that a setting somewhere that I've just never noticed or is that not stock?
Edit:
I see you're on 198_7. Can someone else on that build confirm this issue? It doesn't exist on 198_6. Maybe a bad flash or just not-quite-ready yet?
I have noticed this issue since day one but I think my eyes have just gotten used to it.
Ok, I made a thread about frame/graphics issues happen on 198_7. Since, I've switch back to stock 198_6 not one issue... I think I and you might just have gotten a bad download.....

I was playing with GoLauncher EX today and got that exact scrolling issue.
Hes on the ICS build I believe thats why his launcher looks different, If he's not on ics he's using ics launcher. I'm using twicca as well and I know what you're talking about but I dont notice it much anymore. It has something to do with the pentile display as you can see it handles brights very well but black isn't its strong point. The galaxy phones handle black's better than any phone their screens produce deep rich black colors. Perfect example is to watch a scary movie on both phones like paranormal activity and you'll see how the photon sucks for dark scenes because of how the pentile displays its blacks.

the photon has a great screen but amoled can't be beat black wise because it has no back light

Fail lol. Enjoy your terrible reception and weak dev support.
I bough a bunch of NFC tags and this will be a big time saver in many situations. Unfortunately, HOX+'s NFC doens't work when the screen is off, or on the lockscreen. It's the case of almost every cellphone...
I saw there's an apk for the original HOX to make it works (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713354 ) but I supposed it isn't compatible with HOX+. I didn't try though because I'm not unlocked/rooted and this kind of test would require a nandroid backup in my opinion. Better safe than sorry they say...
Anyone tried it ? Anyone has a better solution ?

Compared to my S4 I gave up it's horrible inside. All the images are fuzzy. Makes it so hard to take pics of kids. Trying to get it to focus takes so long and always comes out fuzzy. Enough so, I'll leave this device for the next best thing.

I've noticed the same thing. Now I need to decide whether to keep it or return it inside the 14 day window. Ugh. I like everything about the phone, except the camera, but being a photography hobbyist, it's fairly important.
Here's a photo from a concert Sunday night. The worst quality I've seen in years.

It's the camera app, not the phone. I installed the Super Camera and it's great. The gallery is worse, but you can still use the stock gallery and the other camera app. Hope that helps.

This is true. A software update is needed to fix some of the photo and video quality issues.
The problem is with the too agressive denoise algorithm LG is using.This is why they came out blurry.We do need a dev to off it until Lg offers a better algorithm...Also,NEVER use night mode,its useless...use inteligent auto either its day or night...in pretty much all photos except HDR.

i can do that i do see a denoise off option in the libs according to the libs this sensor is the sony imx 135 same as xperia z how does quality compare to it so we can see the software diff.
Hm my model is the F320s tho...will it be the same for me too?Is it easy to do btw?We dont want to be a burden to you.

Can people confirm though that using a third party camera app does indeed provide way better quality?
If it's in the camera firmware/drivers from LG then third party apps wouldn't really matter...
I didnt saw a better quality with any so far....especialy in low light shots that we have the bigger problem.

Is there any way to increase the vibration intensity?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
Nope. But software could make it longer than it would compensate for it.
Sent from my LG-F400K using XDA Free mobile app
I know it's just a very gentle vibration and sometimes you don't realise you have a new notification because of this, but my guess is LG did this to save battery.

Same issue here, vibration is way to light I can't feel it at all. Had no problems with my Pebble. Hoping they will at least have a software fix down the road.
It's actually appalling compared to the Pebble to be honest.
Does anyone have the Gear Live to do a side by side?
If it stays like this, I'm going back my Pebble. Vibration is almost non existent on this thing unfortunately.
Willing to live with the bugs as its V1 etc., but not 'getting' notifications due to this super weak motor, a fundamental for this platform, means I'll probably have to return it.
Got comfortable with my phone on silent and my Pebble to let me know whats going on.

Unfortunately, I don't feel the increased intensity after the rom install. Can you make it even stronger?
I think the problem is not that that the vibration is not strong enough, but that it only vibrates for a split second. If it would just do 2 vibration each 1 second with a short pause inbetween that would be fine. But the way it is right now is just way too short!

That would be great. Can you also make a pause inbetween so that it is 2 short vibrations? Thats how it was On the Galaxy gear and it worked great, never missed anything. Btw: Is it possible to create an APP where you could change all this (duration, intensity...)?

Also, I just pushed up preview 4 which has better settings in it.
Again, feel free to play with the settings until you get your desired results. I have to focus on what will get someone's attentions without killing the battery.

Make sure you have the right TWRP. The camera won't work. You may download GApps, which supports Android 6.01, before you decide to install CM13.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO CLEAN FLASH THE CM13.ZIP.
You may need backup your data with 3rd party app, e.g. Titanium Backup Pro, to be able to restore to CM13. TWRP may not work as you would expect.

I don't recall anyone reporting that issue. There are numerous versions of cm13 out there. By more than one dev. My experience was better with some of the earlier builds. Feel free to state what app you are using for video and such as it will help. Development has someone slowed because CM may be close to a release themselves. Noone really knows at this point. Some recent changes in CM have caused me to stop trying. Probably another reason the rest have slowed. Feel free to try the camera fix and report back. Again its buggy but does work.

I just flashed the CM 13 Dec. 25 by SHM. The camera app i flashed works well. i took like 10 photos and the all saved. I think i will uninstall the camera app the came with the rom. The video issue normally happens with facebook videos, youtube videos, instagram videos and snapchat videos but it seems to be working now. The snapchat camera does work but it takes about 45 seconds for it to come up after switching between front and rear camera and freezes often. With the instagram camera, it worked the first time i opened the app but wont work after. After about 5 minutes of messing with everything, Every app including the one i flashed says that they cannot connect to the camera and that i should restart the device. hope this helps

Yep. Reboot solves it until it hangs again. It has been tested for a month or so now. Some had better results than others. The camera it flashes works decently. Its just a temp fix into kernel is patched.
Which dev do you think has the best build? and which build is it?
For those wondering about using large SD Cards with MM, if the Mate will read and write to it, it should work fine. I am using this card http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-200GB-Micro-SDSDQUAN-200G-G4A/dp/B00V62XBQQ and it seems to be working just fine so far. Just got it and moved my stuff over to it today. Its a 200GB card but when formatted by the phone it shows as 183GB which is more than enough for me. I got it when they were running a special on them for $80. Right now they have gone up some as of 12/29 at 11:06 pm the card is selling for $109 with free shipping. For those that want to transfer a lot of music and videos to your phone this might be the card for you.

There are only two developers that I Have found that are make MM ROMS for the Mate two and if you search for them on AFH you can find them. They are Dargu and SHM. I use the builds that Dargu makes because they seem to be updated more Regularly, but you might like the builds made by SHM. I would suggest trying each one and seeing which one you like best and sticking with it or just flash whichever one is the newest at the time.

There are only two developers that I Have found that are make MM ROMS for the Mate two and if you search for them on AFH you can find them. They are Dargu and SHM. I use the builds that Dargu makes because they seem to be updated more Regularly, but you might like the builds made by SHM. I would suggest trying each one and seeing which one you like best and sticking with it or just flash whichever one is the newest at the time. Its basically a personal choice that each person has to make.

Ohhh okay. i get you. Just one last thing. I see in another thread that you modding the kernel to extend battery life. Is there a zip that i can flash to get this? like the modded rom or something?
Any new Supersu zips for this ?

Best to stick with root built into the ROM for now.
THANKS!
Sure appreciate the work on a MM rom. 10 years ago, I would have been right in the thick of it, flashing every
new one that came along, but, anymore these things are "just a phone" for me. I've been lucky with mine.
4.3 was stable, 5.1 is stable. The only issue I've had, is that on reboot, the launcher (nova) won't stick, but,
I don't turn it off or reboot but once in a blue moon.
I doubt if we'll see an official MM for the Mate2, but if a really stable one comes along, who knows, I might
give it a try. The camera MUST work for me, since I use it pretty much daily (work images for engineers).
