Night mode in August update - Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers

Many sites reported that A70 just got dedicated night mode for camera, I downloaded the update but there is still none. This should be an essential feature for 400 euro phone, all my old phones had it.

Man, you have pro mode, its better than 10 night modes. We all know that those night modes dont do a lot in any phone.

You mean THAT "pro" mode that doesn't even allow you to set shutter speed essential for low light situations? :laugh: ?

Do you really need that on a 400$ phone camera? Can you stand perfectly still 2 sec, or 10?
Are you one of those guys who brings with him 7 tripods, 11 stands and a lamp to take a picture with his mid range phone?
The phone chooses the best shutter speed for the parameters you have set.
If you need those features badly, theres a magisk mode that gives you night mode, pro mode like in a flagship and bunch of other camera funcions.
Aaand theres adobe lightroom and 10000 other softwares that will help you with the pictures.
The only bad thing i find in this cameras are the lack of hardware stabilisation, everything else is expected. After all, who will buy phones for x3 the money of this one, if this one have it all?

Hi there. I've been using the phone for about a month. (1.5GB 13mp version)
You can ask me anything about it. So far everything runs really smooth and I'm quite pleased with the camera (and quite dissappointed with the stock camera app).
What do you need to know?

Open Camera (you can find it here on XDA) and the full version of Camera FV-5. Both work well but sometimes you have to take a few shots to adjust the exposure correctly.
Thanks, will look into them, phone should arrive this week.

Hello iPp350z,
Do you test the GPS? Because i'm between K10 (K420N)and LG Zero (H650E). And on test here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/
LG H650E have little more accurate GPS.
But K10 look better
Thank you!

I'm using KingRoot and it roots just fine but I have the Snapdragon 410 version. Battery life is about a day and a half for me and I use it quite often.

Sure, no problem, I'll test it. Any specific app that you prefer? From my experience the GPS locks almost instantly and is quite accurate but I haven't done any specific tests.
Yeah, it looks way better than the H650E and it also has a bigger screen while being almost the same size. That was the main reason I bought it. The camera also takes great photos in daylight but night photos are terrible.
Well I have the t-mobile (US) version, and it has ups and downs.
UP:
1) The 1.5 GB of ram helps keep things snappy.
2) It actually received security updates. I'm. Only 2 months behind the Nexus phones, which is pretty good for a carrier branded phone.
3) Display is nicely bright.
4) SD card support
5) Removable battery.
6) $165.
DOWN:
1) 8 MP camera,
2) No USB OTG support
3) I've had 3 times where the phone audio didn't work at all. Had to reboot to get it back.
4) Screen size a little.large for me to type in landscape.
The only one I care about is the call audio issue...

I also bought in Singapore. But using LG UP tool i had flashed to India firmware (H930DS10e_00_OPEN_ESA_DS_OP_0123.kdz). I had done this to make JIO SIM work for me.
After I connected to LG bridge tool and it popped up for software. I got OREO update but while rebooting the screen shows LG V30+ ThinQ instead of LG v30+. Do you guys know why? The software version I see is "V20B-SEA-XX"
Also earlier VOLTE was not working for my STARHUB but now it is working. Hurray! But I am worried whether JIO will work or not when I go back to India. Any thoughts?

Since the device is updated with the AI capabilities of V30S ThinQ, the V30 and V30+ are now officially ThinQ branded. V20B-SEA-XX is the latest version available. As for Jio, I think it should work just fine since the decice supports the band that Jio uses.
Ok guys, it's been 2 days since the oreo update on my V30+ and here's a brief review so far.
1) The AI camera capabilities isn't a game changer here. You'll only observe some minute differences in these areas.
Better Dynamic range.
Bright mode comes handy.
2) Battery life is considerably improved over Nougut version. The total usage time was 18h 40mins from 100% to 5% with a screen usage time of 5hr 43 mins. Played some games like PUBG and Relic Run and then sone youtube videos. After that I've downloaded 2 full hd movies in the background about 4GB. Location, wifi and mobile data were ON the whole time. Also, I didn't enable the battery saver too. So I think this is very good compared to all the other flagship devices with similar battery capacity.
3) No update is without cons and in this case, too many app crashes. Frequent YouTube crashes and then I constantly receive the pop-up "Unfortunately, this app has stopped" for the app "Appy Geek" which I use as a widget. Some of the other apps crash too and this is really annoying.
4) Even when you select Icon shape as "Original" in the Home screen settings, you still get rounded square icons. It makes no sense!!
Overall, Oreo update isn't exactly something to look forward to until these bugs are fixed.

Actually jio did not work when I had android 7.1.2 when I was in India last time. Then I had to flash to Indian firmware found on lg-firmwares.com. I made it work after that by enabling volte from hidden menu. With oreo, I will try one more time when I visit India in July.

Try to use the hidden menu to enable volte. If it still does not work then u have to flash back to India firmware. As I mentioned jio is not working on other region firmware. I had the same problem.

My Zenfone 6 arrives tomorrow, what should I test? what do you want to know?

Greetings,
My Zenfone 6 (6GB/64GB) arrives tomorrow here in Germany, I'd like to ask what you Guys want to know the most?
Ask me anything and i'll respond to EVERY Question ASAP!
AND YES - first thing i'll do is to find a working GCAM Version!!! lol
See ya all
I'm in Germany as well - may I ask how you got your hands on it? Is that a piece provided by ASUS PR, or did you find a retailer who has it in stock?
I'd like to buy it as well, preferably the silver one.
Hi, please check if it's possible to take photos on RAW format.
And if possible, something i haven't seen yet, is a photo on a very very dark area with max exposure time, i guess it's 32 seconds. If not asking too much take one with the lowest possible ISO and other with the highest possible ISO.
It seems the Night Mode on this phone isn't so great. It seems it's only reducing highlights but not increasing shadows or something. But i'm curious to see what the phone is capable of on low light extreme conditions on Pro mode.

I had a Note 9 - for about 1 1/2 Months, before that, I had the Nokia 7 Plus (still using it right now)
I also had a Pixel 3a XL last Month, but just for a Week because I wanted to test the Phone.
I purchase a lot of Phones, then I'm testing then for around one or two Weeks and then I return them.
If you can and have a USB-C dongle, please check if the phone is able to cast its screen via HDMI cable

Lenovo P2. And yes, an AMOLED display is much more crispy with more contrast, but I only noticed that after I looked at the Lenovo screen again. The Asus has a very good screen.
Wouldn't notice ghosting yet.

Thanks a lot for the samples.
Even though the image is blurry due to long exposure, it's noticeable the greater quality (at least the brightness) comparing with any of the other modes, including Night Mode.
The phone needs to be really steady with such long exposures and maybe Night Mode will work a little better on scenes with a big discrepancy between shadows and highlights, but it's nice to see what this phone can do on very dark scenes on Pro Mode. As a photography enthusiast it gave me some relief. I think with some work we can have amazing results even with some highlights present if we manually take multiple shots with multiple exposures and combining them.
I was wondering, how are the stereo speakers and headphone jack output for you?
I currently use the zenfone 5z and have some network problems.
Could you test:
1. Opening a hotspot and let a volkswagen car radio (discover media model) connect to it? On the three zenfone 5z i tested the radio was able to connect to the hotspot but got no internet. Other phones hotspots work just fine.
2. Use tasker autotools ssh to open a ssh connection with the phone connected to wifi. Then switch off wifi and try to connect via ssh again. On the 5z it will not work after switching networks. Switching back to wifi will make it work again. (create task, add action, plugins/autotools/ssh and enter the ssh connection details, save, press "play" for the task while on wifi, disconnect wifi, press play again and it will time out)
3. Is the auto wake up wifi function available? https://www.howtogeek.com/327532/ho...youre-near-a-trusted-network-in-android-oreo/
4. If you have rooted the phone try to open a vpn hotspot with the vpn hotspot app. On the 5z the devices connected to the vpn hotspot won't get internet. https://www.xda-developers.com/vpn-hotspot-share-vpn-connection/
I tried to debug it with the developer but at some point we came to the conclusion that the 5z was the culprit. So whatever asus ****ed up with the networking (probably some routing issue) these issues would definetely be a dealbreaker for me.
please take as many pictures in day mode and at night time as possible and post them. i only had phones with OIS until now and i am afraid that the samples i've seen on the net are in ideal conditions. i'd like to see how it behaves in real life tests, like i'm at some water fountain at night and i take a picture, without a fixed point, just from my hand
thank you!

Also the fingerprint sensor issue is better as far I can see. I had some trouble rooting it but after a second try it work better. Battery life feels a little better also. So far so good......

It doesn't make any sense. It's not that I'm in a hurry since from my last experiences sometimes updating to a newer Android version makes the phone work worse than with the version it first shipped with.
But, that being said, why would Samsung roll out the update to cheaper and less popular devices like the A30/M30 and delay it for it's second most sold phone in 2019? What about A70 users!? They paid for a higher end product and they are left behind even worse.

General Pixel 6 and 6 Pro get out-of-cycle November update to improve the fingerprint sensor

"An update with the November security patch arrived for the majority of Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners at the end of October. Google is now releasing updated builds for both phones, with global and Verizon variants.
Update 11/17: According to Verizon, this mid-cycle update “improves the performance of your device’s fingerprint sensor.” Early anecdotes of the 14.56MB OTA are bearing that out. However, “Check for update” does not currently trigger the download for all users."

Pixel 6 and 6 Pro get out-of-cycle November update to improve the fingerprint sensor [U]
An update with the November security patch arrived for the majority of Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners at the end of October. Google is now....

My FP scanner was working pretty well but after the update it's even faster and unlocks in the same amount of time consistently now.

That's good to hear. I'm still waiting for the update :/
Yeah ... looks indeed like a tiny bit of improvement ...
Still doesn't work with my tempered glass SP .
Mine was not bad before the update, but it is certainly faster and more consistent afterwards. Also very glad to see my unlocked version on Verizon pulled the correct VZ update right away.
anyone in UK had it yet? Got mine from Google store but no update is showing for me

I got it last night and it did indeed improve the FPS.
I wish they would update the camera to use the tele lens for Portrait and to use the user-selected lens for photos regardless of conditions.
Definite improvement. Makes this phone feel like the caliber it's supposed to be.

So your phone isn't on the global software version now? I'm on Verizon too but don't want their software version. Right now I'm on the global software. Still haven't received the update so I was curious about your situation. Thanks
I'm not really noticing a FP change but I never had problems with it to begin with.

Mine never pulled the first update so I sideloaded the VZ version. This time it pulled the VZ version.
I never had probs with the Fingerprint. But the system seems to open a bit faster.
Automatic brightness is working much better, too.
IMO the whole thing with the FPS was overblown. I never had an issue with it and it was certainly better than the one in my LG V60. I bet if Samsung had this same FPS performance, there wouldn't be any complaints.
Could someone please tell me how can I tell if my phone is locked or unlocked?

Ok. Mine was able to pull the first one by itself. Wonder what's going to happen.. I might have to side load the global version.
