So I got my pixel today. When I go to camera settings I don't see an option for a night sight. I have the latest android update. Anyone knows what's going on?
its not out yet.
Hm weird that they advertise it then don't actually ship it with the phone. Thanks anyways!
A version of it has been ported. Just do a quick Google search and download the GCAM APK with night sight enabled.

Actually you're wrong. Google does NOT and did NOT advertise Night Shot. Go to the Pixel 3 product page, there is NO Night Shot anywhere. https://store.google.com/product/pixel_3
What Google did was they ANNOUNCED Night Shot at the Pixel 3 event and said that it is coming LATER.

yup. i stand corrected
As previously mentioned, you can download a version of the camera that has it enabled and it doesn't overwrite the existing camera, so you get the best of both. Although a lot of sites say night sight has been released to phones yesterday or the day before, but I can't find it in the official camera app.

Arguably, the release event could be viewed as advertisement. Although saying it will come out at a later date is a cop out because that could be two years from now haha.

I'm still sort of on the fence about the Pixel XL. Right now it's between this phone and the V20. I would really like to see a few in-depth reviews before I pull the trigger on either. Does anyone know about how soon Google sends out the review units to the editors/reviewers?
I would say sometime next week since the Official release date is Oct. 20th

So when do you think they will get it? Or do you think review units have already been sent out?
Went to best buy today and 1of the Google employees had a pixel xl. He had just got it yesterday. He let me hold it and look at it. It was nice I must admit. He said they got them to show customers.
Looks like DXO Mark got theirs

Im pretty sure they will get reviews out around the 17th thats 3 days before orders ship
Review units usually go out well before release so reviews(which normally are embargoed can go up on release day

I am sure they already got the phone. Don't you see almost every review says "I have been using this phone for about a couple of weeks " blah blah.
Just got a chance to listen to Monday's This Week In Tech podcast and one of the guys is a reviewer and said they were told they'll get their Pixel review kits on the 18th.
the verge already did yesterday
^ Title. Has anyone who preordered from the play store got their code yet?
Nope not yet.
1st: Why are we creating a thread that has already been created?
2nd: Has it been 4 weeks since your order shipped? No. Be patient. It will come. The damn thing isn't even available for purchase till the 10th. I expect to see the code sometime after that.

Nice, i wonder if they can use them now. I received a Google VR services update earlier today on the PLay store. I asked on the thread about Verizon people getting it early but no one confirmed.

I had the same issue with Samsung VR. 75% of the time I went to put my phone in it, it would tell me phone was already too hot and only thing I was doing prior was surfing the web. I hate Samsung, total disappointment.
I've noticed my Pixel doesnt get near as hot at the S7E
I've been playing with the free gear VR I got with my first Note 7 on my wifes Galaxy S6. As long as you put it on DND and kill any background apps it runs pretty well, even on her older galaxy phone. I think it's pretty cool, and I'm super excited to check out the daydream VR.
Still waiting for my free VR code from the pre-order.
Codes will be coming next week

Anyone know when the update is coming with the color options and whatever software they're changing for the Pixel XL 2's screen burn in? I'm guessing there's no info on it since I can't find any info about the update
Nothing and very quiet! We are all on the edge of our seats...
I keep checking every hour for updates manually, still nothing.

I thought it's coming with 8.1, hope Google releases them with security patch. Would be better.
I could care less about the color boost. I use immersive, so the nav change is moot for me.
I just want my godamn camera audio fixed for video recording. It sounds like a webcam from 2004.
Update yay!! And now I'm very pleased with the display
if you fine peeps get the chance... some before and after pics would be stellar

AFIK, VoLTE can only be enabled at 8.1. This update is still 8.0 so there's no VoLTE still. As for the color options, I still prefer the more natural colors.The boosted is fine, just a tad bit more vibrant than natural. But the saturated mode tho! The reds really pop, almost to the point they hurt my eyes.
Here are some pics btw (left to right: boosted, natural, and saturated)
Except for galaxy S4 for a year, I used exclusively nexus devices since the Nexus one. Perhaps I am not that used to the vibrant colors of samsung devices, I actually had no problem with the old natural sRGB display before the update. Just updated few hours ago and I changed the display settings back and forth...... and yes... I agree the more saturated display usually does look better, but it's also a bit fake to my eyes
I'm wondering if I'll get that update since I'm on 8.1 developer preview?

Just checked the Playstore for updates and looks like Razer has updated the apps. :good:
Hmm, I'm not seeing that my end, any way you can pull the camera app and post pls?
Much improvement btw?
Haven't messed with it much but don't notice a huge difference.
So what's you app version now? I'm on 1.3.111 - can you backup the app and post if you have different? I'm so eager for change to the quality, gcam port is ok but a shame about the tele lens not working.
Sorry to pester you

Camera version 1.4.135.
Don't have a way to back up and upload but here the direct link for it on the Play store.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.razerzone.camera
Hmm even when I follow your link I have no option to update, are you on an unbranded razer? I'm on three uk.... And does an app like 'super backup & restore not work on it?
Might be a rollout I don't have any updates for those apps either. I've updated the theme store app and game booster before (November 7th is the current build for me) never updated the camera no update available for it.
My Camera app is stuck at 1.3.111, cant install from the Google store as it says already installed and the app cant be removed. Any tips?

Im new to android terminology so have no idea, I dont want to do anything that may effect my warranty with Razer or contact with Three UK
Mine updated to the latest version 1.4.135 and the camera still sucks. HDR just kills the speed. I took a picture yesterday morning and it just rolled for 5 mins on saving the HDR image. I eventually had to close the app and move on but the image never saved.

Yeah, I noticed little to no difference when updating the app.
Going off-topic a second,
Noticed in your bio/listed devices, the OPPO Find 7.....
Nice phone, wish I'd kept mine, still using yours?
I bet the camera on that phone, even if the hardware is 4 yrs or so old, takes better pics than what we have with the Razer ATM....

lol. Yeah. I gave that phone to a friend of mine and he ended up giving it to his daughter. So it's still rocking and rolling. If it wasn't for some of the software issues I had with Color OS, I may have kept it longer, (it was really unstable when I had the phone) I ROM'd the hell out of it and gave it away because I couldn't be bothered to mess with it anymore. She still likes the phone and still gets compliments for it.

CyanogemMod made the OF7 a great phone,hoping to see similar here on the RazerPhone with Lineage or better yet, RR Remix.......
I'm good with stock for now, gotta give Razer some props for cranking out some updates soon after release, just hope they don't think that's the end of it,/more things to fix that need attention now, before the projected Q1 Oreo update...

Only now just got the camera update via the play store
I see no difference par the HDR getting stuck with an unending circle loading
I know we can download an APK for camera P3 and get the feature but why is it taking so long for Google to release the official features advertised? It's been a month the device has been out now, do we have any official release dates?
Short answer: no one knows
Certainly is ridiculous, you advertise features that don't release with a phone. Between that and the memory issues they can't fix quick enough they wonder why they can't get people from Apple to convert over. Just terrible business...
If they're taking longer to iron out bugs and improve the feature, in my opinion they can take as long as they like.

It's not that big of a deal. It's only been out for 4 weeks. Plus, companies including Apple regularly advertise features that don't get added until after the device launches. The original portrait mode for Apple devices came out months after the phone launched.

Apple users never convert, you should know that. Night mode will not make them either.
If you're simply dying for the feature there is an apk that will install a second app drawer camera with the feature until it's merged into the regular one.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they say at the Pixel reveal that it would come in November?

Not to forget the wireless charger which they announced during the iPhone X launch which is still not out.
To be fair they said it will come soon. so who cares, wait a few weeks. My guess December update.

Not sure if common knowledge, but saw a post on Google about nightsight. So I clicked the link, which lead me to an official Google blog on it - I think it was written today - it states nightsight is coming in a camera update 'within the next few days'.
Keep your eyes peeled ?

I installed and compared with the modified old apk.
It seems there is a slight quality decrease with the official one when you zoom and check. Old one is a little bit better. I have compared only the night site. Official app is sticking more to the lower ISO than old apk.

I actually find it better, the compression is better and less blurry compared to the old modified apk. Photos with night sight is sharper with this new update.
Jesh. What a differenc between the two. Night sight actually works well
