How to Take Quick Snapshots with Your Huawei Smartphone - Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion

When you need quick access to the camera app, nothing is more annoying than waiting for your phone to unlock. Huawei smartphones come with a number of handy features to ensure you don't miss out on those fleeting photo opportunities.
 Ultra Snapshot
This feature allows you to take a photo without turning on or unlocking the screen.

When the screen is off, point the camera at your subject and press the volume down button twice in quick succession to launch the camera and take a photo. The capture time will be displayed onscreen.
Tips:
 Ultra snapshot cannot be used to take photos with the front camera.
 Ultra snapshot cannot be used when Portrait mode is enabled.
 Press the volume down button twice in quick succession.
 Smile Detection
No more grumpy faces or self-timers — when smile detection is enabled, the camera will automatically take a photo when it detects a smile.

 Launching the Camera from the Lock Screen
This feature gives you quick access to the camera without the need to unlock the screen. To launch the camera from the lock screen, simply swipe up on the camera icon at the bottom of the screen.
Your phone will automatically revert to the lock screen when you exit the camera. The photo thumbnail is grayed out to prevent unauthorized access to your photos.
 Object Tracking
This feature is designed to keep fast moving subjects in focus. When object tracking is enabled, touch the subject to automatically lock the focus on it.
Note: Object tracking and smile detection cannot be enabled at the same time.

Cannot be launched when playing music in background.. anyone have a fix for it?

Is there a way to modify the Always On clock?

Not sure why Samsung blocked developers from having their own custom Always On clock but it is a real crappy thing to do. I would love a bigger digital clock with the the date that doesn't move for my Always On.
This Samsung face is not bad. Digital date and not move (or not see, just pixel)

Hello everyone, I did the following, there is only one thing you must get used to and you can have your favourite watch face available with the wake-up gesture on, here is what I did in the gear s "settings--> display--> wake-up screen--> select "Last screen". The only down side to this is you must remember to hit the home button to your home screen before going into sleep. When the screen is off and you glance the watch face will appear and not the digital clock from the other non samsung default watch faces.
Remember by doing so more battery will be used unless you select a similar watch face as the digital one. It will show for the same 10 seconds as the digital face.
A bonus to this is that you do not have to tap the screen to wake from the digital clock, you go directly to the home screen, that is one less tap per glance.
Do not forget to hit the home button, you will get used to that or swipe down till you get the home screen.
Enjoy!!!

Camera focus not working at all (stuck)

My phone's focus won't work at all, even when I tap an object in the background. The focus is permanently set for objects 2-3 feet away.
I'm using stock ROM (5.9.020S) on an X820. Previously the focus worked but it seemed to make a lot of noise, and it would sometimes randomly cycle through different focuses even when nothing changed (I'm assuming this is the autofocus bug that other people have had).
Anything I can try? I've wiped the phone and the same bug persists with factory settings. I get the same issue in multiple camera apps (including the stock app). I had a lens protector covering the camera, but removing that didn't make a difference.
I saw this thread with possibly the same issue, and I notice that when I shake the phone, the focus seems to come unstuck and work partially. But it's a nightmare getting a sharp focus long enough to take a picture. Anything else I can try (besides the freezer trick or sending it back)?
Have you tried going in the settings and toggle the tap to focus? Try that, hope this helps

Did you tried replacing the camera module?? I'm thinking to replace it with the one available on AliExpress.
*The Leeco should support this phone for atleast an year but seems like they will not. Helpline no. Dead, Service center closed or they make excuses. They just ate our precious money*

Using watermarks to bring your images to life

HUAWEI's latest flagship P10/P10 Plus comes with an impressive range of camera modes, including a feature-packed watermark mode. We've put together some tips on how to use watermarks to produce stunning, professional-looking shots.
World-renowned premium optics
Known for its cutting-edge technology and quality craftsmanship, Leica is one of the world's most renowned camera manufacturers. Synonymous with quality and innovation, the company has a legendary status among photographers, although its products do not come cheap.
Sporting a dual-lens camera co-engineered with Leica, the HUAWEI P10/P10 Plus has a much more affordable price tag and promises to make Leica photography accessible to a wider audience.
The dual-lens camera comes with an all-new watermark feature that allows you to add a Leica signature to your images:

Leica watermarks can be added in a few simple steps:
Leica watermarks cannot be added to images taken with the front camera, or in the following modes:
Panorama, Light painting, Watermark, Document readjustment, and Video mode.
Other watermarks
The HUAWEI P10/P10 Plus also allows you to personalize your images with a range of other watermark styles. You can preview your chosen watermark before taking a photo and drag it to the desired location.
You can also add weather and location watermarks to your images. Weather and location information is automatically retrieved from the Internet.
You can edit the content of some watermarks (for example, watermarks containing text) to give your images a personal touch.

Hmm interesting. Planning on hopping on the beta train this Friday to see what's new. Will try this out when I get on O. What's the latency on the scroll speeds like with this compared to some of the other apps on the app store that does the same/similar?

Disable OIS Samsung S9

Is there any way to disable the optical image stabilization on an Android device? Preferably S9 as that's what I'm using, not sure if this is a thing that can be done on rooted Android devices?
I'm using it with a full frame fisheye lens as an action cam (like GoPro) with a chest harness and so far it works great, I think the quality is a lot better than GoPro (especially at night) and the lens is wider too, but there's one kind of big problem because it is using OIS and it was not designed for bigger shakes it actually ruins the image for a split second, it seems the OIS shifts the lens out of focus whenever the phone is shaked a bit hard - you can test this with your phone by shaking it forward-up-down and then playing the video back frame by frame, it is very noticeable anyway.
So what I was hoping is that by disabling the OIS (it seems to be controlled electronically and tries to compensate for the shake) it could hopefully maybe fix this, although I'm not very optimistic by this, there are moving parts in the hardware but what I noticed is that if I shake the phone without the camera app open, the camera makes more noise/moves more versus when the camera app is open, so maybe just maybe there is a way to mod the electronic part to hold it into place all the time?
Here is a gif of an example of what happens when you shake the phone, please note that this is not motion blur, but it is actually out of focus when that happens, it is exactly the same result whether I use it in very bright lightning conditions or low.

I was really happy with the results with this phone and the fact that you can edit and share content right away, would be great to solve this problem! By the way I'm using it with a Blackeye Pro Fisheye G4 lens if anyone is curious.
