Just a question. I have the T-Mobile version. However, could I use the msmtool and load the international version for the op7pro? My phone is not bricked I just want to m use the msmtool for the international rom. I did this last year with the 6t and I only used the msmtool for tmo to revert...

I have jabras 65t and jaybird x3. They both connect with aac and sbc. When they connect with the default aac, both have a half sec lag. When I got to developer string I can manually change the setting to sbc. When I do that the lag goes away. The only issue is the phone doesn't keep the setting...

I was not able to find a way to get volte working on my l29, but I did install tmo digits. After the install, I called someone and was able to stay on 4g lte and was able to use wifi calling(using my number) . I think its a great work around.

Look at the link and try that. Basically, set that to yes to allow gcam to modify system. I would then force quit the app. Relaunch the app and it should work...good luck. That fix has worked for me and my friend and we are both in non rooted ph-1 phones on Oreo beta three

I'm curious to know what you think and if it's a real fix without root. I had my friend install one of the gcam apk and it previously wasn't working for him. He made the change that I suggested and now it works. You previously told me the gcam had issues with permissions or something to that...

This is the app version I used and it work now. My buddy who has an essential phone went to beta 3 is now working when he changed that setting. It seems as though that might be the fix. I think any of the gcam will work now, but I'll wait to hear back from people...

But wouldn't using the video in gcam after snapping a pic in HDR+ do the same thing? I did that and I still have sound. I've had sound since I went to Oreo 3 beta and installed the gcam for the magisk gcam mod, no root. I just get issues here and there and today I wasn't able to get it to work...

So, I was able to successfully upgrade to Oreo beta three and then successfully install gcam without losing sound or video issues. However, since that time I've had issues and I would lose sound and video would get all screwy. I would reboot and make sure I force quit the app and eventually...

I am not rooted at all. I went from Oreo 2 to Oreo 3 it's. I installed one of the gcam mods and i was able to get it to work. When I installed the app. I force quit after I installed, then opened the app saved setting to pixel 2xl and force quit again. When I opened the camera I was able to take...

The version that worked for me did not work for my buddy. See above link. The only different is I went from an ota from Oreo two to Oreo three, then installed the version of gcam in the above link. My friend, who already had gcam working and was on nougat 7.1, sideloaded straight to Oreo beta...

When you have HDR+ used that's when you lose sound Even in auto HDR when the HDR kicks in you will lose sound. I'd suggest you try to installed the version I attached in a previous thread and then retest

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PX0l6OlMTctsg9LRDe1pTIx_fpYFG5qC/view?usp=drivesdk That's the version I used

I installed the gcam app without root after upgrading to Oreo beta 3 via ota. Works fine. Just no slo-mo and rear camera portrait not working properly. Slo-mo crashed and the portrait doesn't bokeh, just takes the pic

Try this version of the gcam app and you can use the pixel 2 settings. Make sure you uninstall current version. When you install this version linked then make sure you force quit. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PX0l6OlMTctsg9LRDe1pTIx_fpYFG5qC/view?usp=drivesdk ---------- Post added at 06:05...

After you save the settings, exit the app then do force quit in the app settings. This is so the setting that you saved will take affect.

I'm the one who installed gcam on stock Android and it works. However, my buddy has an essential and he went from 7.1 straight to Oreo 3 via side load. After the upgrade he tried the gcam app I installed and he now has the jank. My question is, could there be a difference in how I got to Oreo 3...

The thing that made it work for me was. 1. Install the download gcam app. 2. After the app is installed, select your settings.(I selected pixel 2 for the model and pixel 2017 zsl HDR+. 3. Saved settings. 4. Went in to app settings and force app start( I think this step is the key) 5. Launch app...

I attached a screenshot of the version I used.

No, slo-mo auto closed on me. Portrait worked though. Still looking for the version I downloaded. It was the one they linked from the xda thread on the magisk version if gcam.

I just upgraded to Oreo beta three and I can say that the gcam is now working. No loss of sound after taking a pic using HDR+. I'm not sure what happened but it's working now.

Entrust some banking, and Ms exchange, and Android pay. I know the banking app and Android pay are ok with magisk. I want to wait and see if essential does the final Oreo ota this week or next. I haven't rooted in a while so I want to make sure I at least have the latest and greatest before a...

Maybe I will after they roll out the full version of Oreo. I never used magisk and I have apps I need for work so not sure if I can right this minute.

Thanks for that answer. I been trying all of these different mods and always the same result. Is there a way this works with a final version of Oreo and then someone work strickly with oreo on the essential and gcam app? Would I be better off getting a OnePlus 5t? Does it work better there?

I even lose sound when I use the essential video. If u try close out and go back to the essential video the app won't even record. Can you link or tell me the version you are using?

I prefer to not use magisk. So the only gcam I use was the one from the magisk port. This allowed me to use the camera and all if it's features no issues. However, when I use video, I lose sound. So my question to you is, did you use the video then go and use the camera using HDR+? If hdr+ is...

what am I missing? What do I need to do or install? I really would like a version of gcam that will work on the essential phone using Oreo. I know there app is still getting updated regularly but I prefer the gcam.

I downloaded the version in this thread. I am using oreo2 on the essential site. The camera works great and it probably better on Oreo than it was on nougat. However, if I use HDR+ and then use the video, I get the previous behavior as the previous BSG ports like losing sound. Once this...

I just upgraded to the new Oreo beta2 and everything seems ok so far, except the gcam. When I take a pic using hdr plus or use video, I lose sound with YouTube. It also won't restart correctly. I have to do a full reboot. Until, that gets fixed, I will use the native app, which I think is...

Everything seems ok so far, except the gcam. When I take a pic using her plus or use video, I lose sound with YouTube. It also won't restart correctly. I have to do a full reboot. Until, that gets fixed, I will use the native app, which I think is running better in Oreo for some reason. Could...

Can you send me the link for the Arnova mod (5.1.018_v1.2) version?

I tested my essential along with my wife's iPhone 8plus. When I tested the speed on both it seemed as though my connection on the essential was grabbing band 12 and my wife's phone was getting band 4. Band 4 tends to be stronger in my area so not sure why my essential went to band 12. I thought...

Yes, I know the bandwidth or speed is not as strong for band 12 . Like I said, at least at my house, if I have band 4 I get a 10 to 20mb connection. Band 12 I get a 1, maybe 2mb connection. It fluctuates actually. In my basement, I get band 12 but .4mb connection. My point is, the signal is...

I live in an area that the essential phone picks up band 12 most of the time on tmobile. What I mean is band 12 preferred most of the time. The issue I have if the phone picks up band 4 the connection is weak but connect at around 10 to 20 MB. If it picks band 12, which is most of the time, it...

I have had some issues with connectivity in my house lately but not sure it has to do with the EP phone. I also ran in to issues with my s8. I live in the Philly area and I currently use TMO. When I had my s8 I noticed bad communications and it seemed to be when connecting to band 12(700). I...

After reading all of these issues. I decided to go back to nougat. I think if there are a couple of updates or if they fix the EP camera app then I will go back to Oreo. I cannot take having a crappy camera in a house full of iPhones. I think this phone has great potential and I love the way it...

I had the gcam ported before I sideloaded to Oreo and I still had issues w video on gcam and Essential cam app. Then I did a flash and the flash gave me the same problems you are experiencing.

I meant to say live photo, not portrait.....my bad. So after going through numerous setups. I am just using the pixel app, using all pixel2 2 or pixel 2017 settings. I will not use the video. If I need to use video then I will use the essential app. It seems to be working fine. To be honest, I...

So it seems when using pixel app with HDR+ it will break the video app. No matter the version or the config I use video will not work when trying to record. Video is even broken on the essential app as well. Do not test with auto hrd+ because hdr+ has to be activated to break the camera. Tried...

I just went to oreo today. The camera 5.1.014 1.5f was working great, as well as portrait mode. I tested it all night with just the camera and I swear I thought the camera was better with Oreo. However when I go to video it will work after a reboot for only a short while. If I do too much going...

The brightness is fine. It's not as good as the galaxy s8 but def better than HTC10 or honor 8\ p9. I watched basketball on it the other day and it was great.

The camera during the day is fine and is equal to the pixel ported app. The camera at night is hit or miss. A dark room or darker room it will struggle bad. If it's a night shot out side and there are street lights or business signs there seems to be enough light for the camera to take a decent...

I used a charger from Verizon. It has 27 watt necessary to charge the phone. It charges as fast as the that came with the phone. Also you can try the trianium car charger it does both QC 3 and PD charging. The other chargers I have the have a Max of 15 watt charge at a rate of 1800ma, which...

I used your method for removing the scratches and it worked. I was was also nervous about the purpose of the coating and if it would affect the camera if was removed. I can tell you that I rested every type of scenario and the lens is fine. No more scratches and no more flares. You will notice...

I ised the meguiars compound like the person on this thread suggested and it worked. I just used a microfiber cloth and it cames off. At first I crapped myself because it looked discolored like a haze or something. I just kept reapplilying the compound and slowly but surely it cleared up. I will...

Yes. I bought a g6 and I noticed on the lens there were a bunch of scratches after having it a week even though I had a screen protector on it. So I wound up returning the phone and the new phone also got scratches within two days even though I had a screen protector the second I got it. It...

I just bought a g6 and had the same issue. I had a screen protector from thebforst minute I got it but it scratched anyway on the rear camera lens. I thought maybe there was a plastic film protecting the lens but couldn't pull anything off. I then returmed into trouble and got another one and...
