In total, my family of four has four 6Ps.
Yesterday browsing through best buy, I got the golden Nexus 6P in my hands to play with, and gosh, it felt twice as fast and snappier. I proceed to put my phone down and test it app by app at the same time, like the speed test videos on youtube, and I am jealous... it was SOOOOO much faster. I wish I had another phone to record it. Drawer opening was 3 times as fast. Opening the store, google search, brownser, it was close to twice as fast.
Then I proceeded to test the other 6Ps at home... and they were just like mine.
Very intrigued, I thought... well... my phone is full... so let me hard reset it...
Still, not even close to what I experienced at the store. Could it be that these phones at best buy are overcloked or not underclocked? It was a BIG difference!
All my phones were purchased from google... have anyone experienced this?
Thanks!

I'm actually a lead manager for Best Buy Mobile and I can tell you that the 6Ps we have out on display are the exact same 6Ps that you would get from the Google Store. However, they do have an application loaded on them that keeps the device awake. This application also keeps the CPU running at close to max speed which is why it feels so much faster than a 6P running stock.

While it does make the phone run a lot faster it is essentially the same as going into a kernel management app and setting your minimum CPU frequency a lot higher than normal. If these phones weren't plugged in they would most definitely be dead within an hour. [emoji1]

Unrelated to OP, but can we maybe PM about some tips for getting my team more tech-savvy? I'm not a lead, but I work in the mobile department and I've taken on some additional responsibilities including keeping the team up to date on specs, etc.

For flashing demo content and apks for demo, make a batch script then just take a laptop round and adb install onto it. Saves time.
Sony used to have one built in, can't for the life of me remember what it is, on the dialer, its a number then the same number backwards.
I think the Sammy ones are 5433, its been a while though, could have changed.

I think I know what you might be feeling as far as that dramatic speed difference. One can change the animation speed in developer settings to make the phone feel waayyyyy faster. Have you tinkered with that yet?

ROFL... Ahhh best post I read on a while. Good laugh, thanks!
I hate going to look at phones, and EVERY single one has serious screen burn in! Makes the device look like crap, and gives it a cheap feeling. Shouldn't have them with their screens always on. It might look flashy from a sales perspective, but to a customer it's actually a turnoff.
Hey guys,
I'm intending to buy a new moto x pure for a relatively cheap price in my country and I've been reading about poor camera so can anyone tell me is it true??
Also I've been reading about the absence of camera2 api and the unability to install manual camera apps is it true??? And wasn't there any update to fix it???and is there anyway to enable it without having to root the phone??
And finally which 3rd party camera apps do you prefer?? And does google camera work fine and are its pictures better than stock app or worse???
Thx in advance
any answers please????

Google Camera is no longer available, it has been pulled from the Play Store... When it was there, it worked fine.
Personally, I use Camera ZOOM FX... not that it is much better than anything else, but I bought it years ago on sale for 25¢, it works quite well, and I am familiar with it. It has a multitude of adjustments, although it is not using the Camera2 API.
The Manual Camera Compatibility app fails on all items it checks, the phone does not support the Camera2 API and unless Moto adds support in Nougat, we likely won't get.
This is not to say that the Moto X doesn't take good pictures... personally I think the picture quality is excellent for a smartphone, far better than most of the other phones in the family except my son's S7 Edge (which has a fantastic camera). The only real drawbacks in my opinion are the stock camera app (which is bad, wish we had the new Moto Camera app, it is much better) and the lack of OIS.

You should find a new professional mode option in the camera mode menu found in the bottom right hand corner of the screen.
If you don't see the option it means that the ro.product.device setting in your build.prop file is not been set to one of the valid device names that will enable professional mode in this modified version of the app.
The list of device name that will enable professional mode in this version of the app are: athene, griffin, addison, clark, osprey, luk, kinzie and otus
From the 5 professional mode settings I discovered that the "Shutter speed" setting does not appear to work the on stock android 6.0.1 and somebody else reported that the "ISO" setting does not appear to work on android 6.0.0, "Manual focus", "White balance" and "Exposure" all appear to work as expected.

I used the mod from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/cameramod-t3420739
and the FreeDcam app and my MXP is happily shooting manual/raw. defcomg even created a flat field correction file for the cam sensor. This little camera is producing images that rival those of my Canon 7D.
So I bought a moto x pure few days ago but I've been really busy moving to a new home in the city where I will attend university;
Thx for your help,
About the new phone I like the performance, camera is great but not as great as you would expect a 21mpx camera to be I mean it's sharp but details are Kind of blurry if you zoom in so much and dynamic range is unsatisfactory completed to my brother's Nexus 5x camera!
Best thing about it is the front panel! Front facing camera, screen and speakers (they're so damn loud)
Camera app isn't as bad as I thought but still not so good!
It just needs getting used to coming from my Nexus 5, Google camera was way more comfortable and makes a lot more sense! The only Google camera app that worked for me is the old one I Mean the one from KitKat times! Still a nice alternative with a slightly better color reproduction!
So if you find a way to make camera 2 api work or any better camera app please let me know

BTW ISO and Shutter speed do not work, changing them won't affect the picture however white balance and manual focus work great!
So I've had this issue with both my S7 and S8 where whenever I click to open certain apps from my home screen, there's a noticeable delay between when I touch the icon to when the app actually opens.
This most notably happens on the Facebook, any and all internet browsers, the Play Store, and the Google app.
The thing that confuses me is that no one else seems to report this issue, nor have I experienced it on other brand phones.
Has any one else experienced this or have any ideas for a solution?

Glad to hear it's not just me. When I've mentioned if before, everyone just tells me I have a defective phone, which I don't.
At times it feels like Samsung phones are big diesel engine trucks - powerful, sure, but it takes them a while to really get moving.

Apparently it goes deeper than that because even when I use Nova launcher, the problem is there.
I also wonder if this is a problem that's only on the Snapdragon version, as I never remember my Exynos-powered Note 5 having any issue.

Possible, but U11 is also on the same Snapdragon 835, but I do believe in my case at least, U11 has UFS 2.1, but my S8 has UFS 2.0. I do see the difference when apps get installed or updated. U11 is doing it faster.

I'm not really knowledgeable enough to make these kinds of guesses, but maybe it's like a kernel issue? Because obviously different companies have different results with the same processor, so maybe Samsung just has poor optimization?
Either way, it just feels like a really unnecessary flaw for the phone.

I would have said Yes for some big apps like heavy title games but for the ones you've mentioned(Facebook, Google, Store and etc), those are actually the fastest to open for me similar to system apps' speed.
PS. I'm the type of person to clear all recent apps and turn off the phone like 5 times a day because I'm a little OCD about an apps that might drain the battery. Lol

I only turn my phone off once a week, but I've tried pretty much every combination to see if it fixed the problem. Cleared apps a lot, "locked" the problem apps in memory to see if that helped them load faster, etc.
Nothing really seemed to make a difference.
Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
If you want it to feel "faster'' you can go into developer options and turn off the animations for opening and closing the apps. Its a "fix" but in reality it isnt doing anything different. Its just a Samsung being a Samsung. If you want a phone that opens and does what its suppose to when you touch it get a Pixel

The developer options thing wouldn't work as this delay happens before the animation even starts.

Hmm.. I'm not so sure that these problems is related to Samsung exclusively..
My problems starts few years ago, when I had Nexus 6p.The same problem continued with iPhone 6s plus and 7 plus, then Galaxy S8 plus and now with Note 8.
I was sure that I had and have a problem with my home Wi-Fi (because as you know, WiFi can cause a lag) but when I saw this thread, well I don't know what to think anymore. I'm running out of ideas, definitely.
I've tried everything ,but no luck.
Any idea, potential solution will be very welcome..
This happens to me when my 4g reception or wifi is really not optimal. Always with internet related applications. Games , productivity etc.
What did you do about that?Solution?
I have to confirm this problem. Definitely, those problems are related to WiFi connection, in my case. My phone flying on LTE.
Does anybody has any idea, what caused these problems?
Is it true that an app can make all the difference for picture quality? How good is the stock camera app that Ph-1 comes with? I'm not photo expert, so there may be a go-to camera app that everyone uses but I don't know about so I'm stuck using the generic stock one.
Thanks.

Cstark 3.6 is the one to start with IMHO. The others may or may not work
in low light the difference between the stock camera app IQ and one of the GCam ports (I use Arnova's V6) is quite noticeable, I use the stock app for monochrome shots, and the GCam port for everything else, as the IQ is just better.
I installed the very top/latest APK from that page (GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7.9.apk) on this PH-1 running Android P beta and photos look pretty great. I'm comparing it with the camera app that came with the beta, and it's much better. Thanks for the link.

Yeah, I tried the same and it is really great. Even with latest update, I was very disappointed with the burst mode of Stock Camera. Most of the shots came out blurry when taking moving objects like kids.
This one does a much better job. Pixel and One Plus 6 are very fast. They take 20 pics in 2 seconds. PH1 takes around 5-6 seconds.
I am yet to test anything else.
Every version of the gcam apk I have downloaded scans as malware. May be a false positive but is enough to keep me away.
I am wondering if any camera apps in the play store offer improvements?
@arsenal74 what are you scanning them with? Where are the dls from? Have you read the security statement on the site linked above?

I use Nvisio https://apkscan.nviso.be/ and also virus total. Scans as malware/pup
As is noted on the site. It's up to you but a pup is only highlighting something if you didn't put add it yourself.
Your scanner is full of Bull. I use Malwarebytes and no issues with gcam apks.
It is an online scanner that uses multiple services, for this file only 1 of the services flagged it as suspicious, go to the link above and try it on the apks that you have.
I have no idea what Babable PUP.HighConfidence means but it is enough for me to think twice about installing.
Read the security notice on the gcam APK website... That's exactly what it says!

I have seen a similar warning when looking at similar versions of this port before so have steered clear.
A new update was pushed out today in UK on Google Play, an update for "Pixel Visual Core Service" to improve HDR+..
Ive found that after the update and having both HDR+ On and Off.. on camera images, the difference isnt huge, but the pics are less grainy, noisy and do look a LITTLE bit clearer on Crop..
I had to Reset the Camera by going into Settings>Apps>Camera>Storage.. Clear both the camera Cache and Data
Anyone else noticed this?

This was my thought as well. Any improvements should be apparent in an app such as Facebook, Snapchat, etc. where the app's camera is used.

But what were your examples taken with? Any of those apps? And sorry but your before and after pics of the plants isn't a great way to demonstrate a camera improvement. You acknowledge two different subjects and two different days but how can you be sure the lighting is the same?

You know Pixel Visual Core is NOT used by the Camera app right? Only 3rd party apps are utilizing it.

What can be done if i notice the visual core service not working on third party apps? Considering I've tried clearing cache, storage, uninstalling, reinstalling, rebooting the app.
Neither snapchat nor instagram or facebook is able to use pixel visual core from time to time. What can be done?
Do you have a separate app of pixel visual core??
I uninstalled it from settings and then there is an app by google itself on play store.
How can these fluctuations in the working of visual core be solved?

Personally, I never use an apps camera option. I always take a pics and videos with the stock Google Camera.
