OK, I don't know if my hox is faulty or this is a bug in all of them,
so I ask,
How close can you focus the camera on your hox ?
On my device I can't focus less then 0.5-0.7 meters
and that seems odd couse my old nokia could take
great pictures from even 10cm ...
Well I can easily takes pictures of spiders and stuff like that, pretty close.

can you show me?
Mine just get blurry and unfocused
(and yes, I use MACRO mode)
I've managed to take a picture of a sushi menu from about 5-7 inches away from the surface? I'm a freak for properly focused images, so was pretty happy that with the JB update, the camera seems to be able to focus closer than on ICS.

AGRRRR!
So Why can't I?
It's possible, but the camera sometimes seems to go nuts and not focus properly, focusing the background and not the thing you want to take the pic of. Even with touch to focus ^.^

The right lead doesen't seem focused to me.
Does all of your HOXs has this foucus problem?
I have completely surrendered to the idea of taking macro pictures. My HOX just doesn't do it. So I am with you.

For Macro there is a Macro mode given in the camera scenes, beside that after JB update this has been fixed, and focus is like a charm + touch to focus nd shoot is also added. you'll simply love your camera
is it normal sometimes freeze?

Every phone I've had has taken good close pictures without a macro mode. But ok, I put macro mode on and still it can't focus well. I just did a test tonight...took a EVO 4G, a one s and my HOX and they all took a great picture of the ingredients of my coke. My HOX had it all blurry, even in Macro mode. It sucks.

In the LGCamera app, there is a macro focus option which will lock the focus to minimum distance.

Was on purpose, the leaf is not parallel to the phone only half of it is focused. Let me search another pic that looks better.
But is still tricky, it does not always focus perfectly in Macro.. and when it doesn't work I just close the camera app and try again.

Doesn't that make you MAD ?!
Parsenly, I got the phone because I heard of it's great Camera,
and not having a MACRO mode makes me get angry of HTC.
What were they thinking!? I can't even use it to "scan" a writing
on a note or recite

It does makes me angry, because I got specifically the HOX for the Quad-core, 32GB, great screen and camera...Although, I works like charm, and I got JB already, the camera is disappointing. I take pictures everyday since I manage social networks and my phone isn't living the expectations. I need to see if it can be repaired somehow and how much would it cost me.

I believe it must be a bug in software ...
When I try to focus on something close, the phone
IS ABLE to get focus for a moment and then losses it.
(Can't lock the focus)
Any chance it's fixable by some software update?
I have S4 (i9500) but I need to move to a bigger display withing a limited budget. I am thinking between the Mega i9200 or the Huawei mate 1. I read the following comments
on the internet, and I wonder if someone can verify by practical usage / knowledge of both :
1- The Mate 1 , does not rotate the screen, so I can only use it in the portrait mode.
2- Although the mate has bigger and faster CPU, but the Mega is as fast.
3- The Mate uses the main button on the screen so the actual display used is less, and if you hid ethose button, you it will be difficult to find and use the back button, within an application.
If any one can help me choose, I will be very grateful.

Id say wait for Mate 2 to release or order online. Mate 1 is outdated and wont get the latest firmwares and so on and end up a burden.

I would like to buy a oneplus 3, however the camera is concerning me
According to sample photos, the camera doesn't perform as well as hoped for.
Is it possible to change the module by the latest sony IMX316 for example? It would give a great addition to the already amazing phone

lol of course no. it's not a modular phone. And the camera sensor (sony imx298 ) in my opinion is actually really good. Might not be as good as the s7 one but it's very close to that. Also the developers i suppose will be able to improve the algorithm to make it even better.
Camera isnt best.. But it's good..
Well, i was just wondering if it can be upgraded in the future by changing the camera sensor module (screwing phone open, clipping new one). Perhaps by changing drivers
The best you could hope for would be software updates that might help the camera processing. You'll never be able to switch the sensor module. If you don't like the camera and that's a deal breaker then don't get this phone. Personally I think the camera samples are pretty good. If I need something more then I'll pull out the A6300 and use it instead.

Err, how many phones are modable in such a manner? Might as well as if you can use it to floss your teeth.
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?

So you should be getting real soon. He did have to manually check for the update though. It wasn't pushed to him....

Hey guys... I got some question before I buy this phone:
1) Is the wifi signal since the last update good or bad?
2) Is the wifi range good?
3) Is there dark mode?
4) Can you add themes to make it look cool since the UI looks dated?
5) Any reason why I shouldnt buy this phone?
1. Wifi is good enpugh
2. There is Dark mode
3. You can ad theme
4. If you need big display than you can not find any alternative of Mate 20 X. It is the best 7.2 Inch big display phone. But if big display not must then overall best phones are made by Samsung. The only reason you shouldn’t buy mate 20 x is it software and camera is so bad. But surely interms of big display phone it is the best

Why would you say the camera on Mate 20X is bad? It has the same exact camera as Mate 20 Pro and that was rated as one of best cameras of 2018.

Actually I am using Mate 20 X and practically I am seeing the camera is ok but not very good. Software issue mayb! May be on papers it is a excellent canera but in real-life I am not feeling it has good camer. But its ok and not bad. But samsung provide the best camera. Samsung hase no 7+ inch smartphone so I have to use Huawei Mate 20 X. Ohh, it has side which is far better than samsun, and it is it's battery backup best an unbeatable

1. Signal is better on the 310 update compared to the 300 & 208
2. Range depends on if you're using 2.4Ghz vs 5Ghz, your router and obstacles in the way; but overall range is decent
3. Yes: Settings-Battery-Darken Interface Colours
4. Yes; You can use custom launchers easily on the international model EVR-L29. I use Nova Launcher as an example.
5. Reasons to not buy this phone really depends on your preference:
- The screen is really big (7.2") so it's not for compact or thin lovers.
- It has a teardrop notch, so it's not for notch haters
- Bootloader is currently locked, so can't root for new users
- If you're in the U.S, then you have to consider the trade tension involving Huawei (It's ok now, but the situation is volatile and can change anytime)
- Mate 30 X MAY come out end of the year. So if you're willing to wait and see, the new one could be better. But then again, 30 X may not come.
Just to balance out the cons:
- Amazing battery life
- Great performance both on games and everyday use
- Great camera. I use the superwide & macro mode alot
- Huge clear display
- Decent dual speakers
