I got a pixel 6 and a pixel 6 Pro and yesterday we put up our LED lit Christmas tree only to realize that the camera on both the six and the 6 Pro struggle heavily when pointed towards the tree. I've attached a Screen recording Even if I turn off any auto function it does. Open Camera helps but still has similar issues. Here's an Example video taken on my wife's pixel 6
Same for me...
Turn off automatic night sight and it should be better, your phone is automaticlly switching back and forth because of the lights hz.
Don't post Google photo links, your full name + picture of yourself is visible (if you don't care about that, fine - most people just don't know this). Best upload it somewhere and then post a link (if you care for anonymity, which I assume since you have a nickname in this forum).

Got mine at 08:58 or something on the 8th, FedEx overnight, preordered on the 25th.
Not rooted, not activated yet either (going to, this weekend)...just testing what I got so far.
My AT&T build has a kernel date of 4 Oct.
3.0.31-215287 kernel version
Some initial things that I quickly noticed...also, I had a major crash when using video recording...
As with the AT&T tester's unboxing on youtube (PhoneDog, I think?)...NO HEADPHONES/EARPHONES!! I need these for calls, especially LONG calls. This is not good. Other carriers must have contracted for them, since they had them. AT&T reboxed this as well.
I've seen my friends' Note2 Sprint model since the 25th, so some things I also noted as a difference so far:
- The AT&T model has the extended notification screen toggle options like the S3 has...Airplane mode, sound, etc. Sprint just got this with it's OTA -to arrive soon. I am not sure if T-Mobile had it (I forget).
- Cannot remove the AT&T bloatware, it seems. I am new to android (not computing, so yes, I know you can root it and remove it) but I think what is on here initially cannot be removed, and some can be disabled. Nuts when I have 11GB left of the 16GB and games like NOVA3 are 2GB! No app install on my nice 64GB SD card (unless I root) either. Anyone know if you can offload dormant apps or something? I may root this one in the future, but was just wondering for now (and for others asking).
- My Sprint friend noted that the S-Pen seemed slightly heavier/different...hard to say, I don't see why. If so, it's SLIGHTLY...very slightly. I also noted that I had no issue thus far with the pen making marks while hovering over the note, but that may be because it's a new pen. Will keep on that 'bug' and still looking around for a way to toggle sensitivity.
- Also, how do I know if my bootloader is unlocked/locked? (not trying to get too off-topic)
- DLNA is VERY choppy with the 8 second HD video my friend S-Beamed me. I am at home, using my Samsung 58" plasma C8000 model connected direct to my router (ethernet). VUDU, on my TV, requires 4Mbps for 1080p (it claims, but seems that is a floor min number)...havent tried wireless with my MBP, since i usually have it connected direct as well when doing DLNA that way. Not sure if this is just how it is with wifi and this device, but really...how could that be useful at all? My upload speed is fine on my 5GHz n-band. Speedtest on the device shows 6.36Mbps upload and 21.44Mbps download wifi from my Note 2.
Ahh, but now for the real BUG...here is my post on AC forums/ATT Note2 thread --->
Found a bug... My screen is all pink/purple hue after messing with the video recorder.
It is not restarting and not able to power off with long press of side key. Totally stuck!!!
I can't power it off hard (is that possible by the way, I haven't looked and I am new to Samsung devices).
Stuck. Purple/pink hue . See the image I took. Also took a video to show it in 'motion'. Kinda like a weird camera effect app, from hell! Not fun
The 'images' are tiled copies of what the camera sees in real time. It's stuck in messed up this camera/video mode.
Tried video recording and saw 'slo-mo' feature, and then a way to change from 1/2 to 1/4 and 1/8. Somehow, around then I hit record by accident. Then this just weird state of 'freeze' frame video started happening a few seconds later. I don't recall what details happened in between, if anything. Was going to leave camera app, that's about all i recall.
Opened it up and removed the battery. Popped back in. Restart, all is fine now. I'll test that again...er...later. Damn that was annoying as hell.
Took a pic and video with the iPhone. I think I attached the photo ok. The video is mov...what format can I send that in? I can email it if you want...short MOV to depict trying to shut off/restart and how it goes frame by frame in this 'pink tile' mode.
Pic looks blue...but it's purple/pink, not that that matters much.
I would maybe try a hard reset if you havent already...
yeah, thanks. If it happens again, I'll do that.
Do you mean 'master reset'? Or is there another way to reset, aside from taking out the battery.
You can disable bloatware in the built in app manager. Settings>Application Manager> Click the "ALL" tab.
So, I just wanted to name a few issues I've been having with my OP7T
1. wide angle camera doesnt focus in 90% of cases. manual tap to work sometimes helps but all in all the wide angle is almost unusable. tried factory reset, reverting back to stable OS build.. messing up with different camera app options..nothing helps
2. alarm clock volume keeps turning itself off.. I've tested it many times, the alarm simply doesnt ring.. I checked the volume just to see that the slider has gone all the way down.. Reseting the app fixes it for some time but than it goes back to being unusable
3. speakers are too loud even if you use them at 30% of max volume.. all above that makes the sound unbearable to listen
4. if I want to use the loudspeaker during a call, the person on the other side of the line immediately says that the sound quality has drastically changed/became worse
I do like the phone. I had Galaxy S10+ before this one and there is no way I would go back to that.. I wish these things would get sorted out. After all, a simple OS update can make the phone much better..
Thanks for taking some time to go through my blabbering
Same problems
I'm on Open Beta 8 (just recently updated to OB9)
1. Camera can't focus on low light at all. I think this is because 7T lacks laser autofocus which the pro version has.
With good lighting though, focus is as fast as other flagships.
2. Alarm works fine every time for me.
3. Try turning off Dolby Atmos. (CLICK HERE for the proper app and instructions)
4. People on the other end of the line can hear me clearly both on loudspeaker mode and normal phone.
I sold the phone yesterday.. Could not decide if I should buy the 8T or the S20+.. in the end I went with Samsung.. so far no regrets.. :good:
Hello,
I am relatively new in the Samsung world. Currently, I own a S20U 5G phone, with latest Android (G988BXXU6DUB5)
I have several questions, just put them in a list not to create a lot of threads. I would be really grateful if you could share advice/your experience.
I've noticed some clicking sound when I exit my Camera app and also when I open Settings for this app inside of it. Is it ok? I bet it is somehow related to the lens.
I've also read some articles regarding the autofocus issues. Are those solved? For me it seems to work decently fine, but I am not sure what are the best settings, should I keep tracking autofocus turned of or on.
Also, I've noticed that if I do some AF test with bringing hand relatively close (20cm), and on the background there are some objects contrasting with the background, some grey squares are popping around them and focus seems to be jumping to them randomly. Did anyone notice the same thing? What are those grey squares?
The battery. My SoT is around 4.5-6hrs, on LTE mostly with some calls, a lot of FB and messenger. I've noticed that the battery likes to drop quickly from 100%. Like if after I start using it on 100%, it could drop to 97% during 10-15 minutes of active usage. Then it is going slower, in a normal pace. Is you experience similar?
Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
Sorry if questions seem newbie ones, I just need some advice.
1. Yes it's just the camera sensors locking AF
2. AF was vastly improved with updates, there seems to be no issue with it now
3. Grey squares are usually the camera AI trying to find faces to focus on, so anything that might look a bit like a face to the AI it will try locking onto
4. Normal for Samsung devices to lose a few % very quickly, and your SOT time is fine

Hello, thanks for your answers, it is much clearer now.
I've noticed an odd thing about this specific feature, for example, if my child is moving, it tries to lock onto face with a grey square and if I start shooting, often I get a message "this photo might be blurred" or similar, and it is indeed blurred. Maybe you know how to combat this, if possible? Maybe some specific camera settings?

For moving subjects it's best to use Pro camera mode (Tap the "More" button under the view finder > Pro Mode
Set the shutter speed low as possible while still allowing enough light in, you can raise the ISO to get more light without increasing shutter speed (At the expense of noise depending how high you set it), that way you get a lot less blurring on the moving subject, in this case your child
The blurring occurs if the subject moves while the shutter is open collecting light, so the less time it is open, the less distance the subject will have moved, thus less blur
Works best in good light such as sunlight, then you don't need ISO too high and can drop shutter time right down while still getting good exposure
There is also a setting for Auto camera mode in the camera's main settings called "Tracking Auto-focus" which once you tap the screen to focus on a subject, regardless of where it moves to, it should remain in focus
The Mi Mix Fold is great as a media device, but it is full of bugs, there are many problems with this device:
1). the rom, the software on this phone is china miui and there is no custom rom, meaning you are stuck with whatever china region related miui issues such as: 1). no caller name when someone is calling 2).
keyboard gets switched to china keyboard after every restart 3).
many apps won't work simply because the phone is china or in english, so if you leave somewhere else in the world, apps that support your native language might not work properly, 4).
if you set your region in the phone to somewhere outside of china, you get annoying wifi disconnects that are only fixed when turning off and wifi on 5).
because of the above feature unless you open the apps to check occasionally if you received messages, you will miss out on notifications since they can randomly stop working until you turn wifi off and on again, or enter the app manually (I tried locking the app, setting it to auto start, also turning off battery saving options but it keeps happening and whatsapp for example is a pain to handle since I have to manually open the app to see if I have messages.
if anyone knows how to solve any of the above issues or would like to share their experience about this please post a reply, thanks everyone!
Please make a global rom, request to All developed

Hi. I used to have this problem also with my Xiaomi Fold, and after a long troubleshooting period and reading ur post, found the issue are the towers in US, the 5G signal being inconsistent or weak. I installed the app Connection Stabilizer Booster/google store and since then (1month+), notification delay is 5-10mins maximum, no phone calls missed. Most of times on 4G, was showing 5G prior. Hope helps.

Hey its been so long since I posted this, around December I got the mi 11 ultra again and sold the mix fold at a loss, because it has no market here, but it was the best decision I made, the mix fold dissappointed me everywhere, low refresh rate screens, bad cameras, no wireless charging, very bad software support (still on android 11), the mi 11 ultra fixes all these issues and does more, this mix fold was my first and last foldable phone, horrible device in everyway compared to the mi 11 ultra
Instead of the Mi 11 Ultra, I just bought an Oppo Find N after the inner screen on my Mix Fold broke.
(it had been showing signs of damage i.e. stuck/dead pixels, and then one day I pulled it out my pocket, and the screen was suddenly busted and non-functional)
Anyways, just wanted to say that the 8GB Oppo Find N is overall waay nicer than my 16GB Mix Fold was. This is a PSA.
Also, if anyone is interested in buying a Mix Fold with a busted inner screen, let me know. I'll let you figure out the repair.
Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. I've had my Pixel 6 for about 8 months now, and I've had some problems and concerns that I want to resolve. I was hoping perhaps you guys can help me
Photos and videos sent to my number through the Messages app is delayed and takes forever to download and display. And sometimes, if I try to send a photo or video to one of my friends, it says "Message not sent. please try again", and it'll show that it keeps on sending. And my friends will say that the same photo sent to them 8/9 times, and they get annoyed. I'm wondering what the problem is. Is it my pixel, the google messages app, or something else? Is there another trust-worthy app that I can set as my default messages app that won't cause these types of problems?
My battery seems to drain much faster now. When I first got the phone, my pixel could last about 8-10 hours on full charge with normal activity. Now, it seems like it barely lasts 4-6 hours on full charge with normal activity. What can I do? 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254
My camera quality isn't the best. I've heard others say how great the picture quality on the Pixel 6 is, but personally, I don't see it. My pictures are very washed out, and the color is completely wrong. What can I do? Is there some sort of update or something else I should do?
My volume seems to lower on its own sometimes. When i'm listening to music through the phone speakers and put the volume bar at max, a minute or two later, the music will be lowered a little (2-3 clicks) on its own! I don't know what's causing this or if this is some sort of setting I have to turn off?
These are some general questions I have for now. Thank you to everyone who replies and tries to help me out. I appreciate you all. Have a great rest of your day!
