| Posted: 07 Mar 2021 11:28 PM PST Pete Lau posted about the launch of the OnePlus 9 series and the partnership with Hasselblad on OnePlus's forums. Excerpts from the forum post: Partnership with Hasselblad and camera app "Today, we have announced a three-year partnership with iconic camera manufacturer Hasselblad to co-develop future generations of OnePlus flagship smartphone camera systems. This journey starts with the revamped camera system – Hasselblad Camera for Mobile – that will make its debut on March 23, as we unveil the OnePlus 9 Series" "For several months now, the OnePlus imaging team has been collaborating very closely with Hasselblad R&D – spending countless hours working together to re-imagine and re-define the approach to color accuracy on OnePlus smartphones. In fact, we have created an entirely new color solution – Natural Color Calibration with Hasselblad – that will now serve as our new standard for color calibration for future OnePlus smartphone camera systems." Investments in mobile photography and R&D "Over the next three years, we are also investing USD 150 million to continue upscaling and improving our imaging capabilities to deliver cutting-edge camera technologies that meets your growing expectations.
Confirmation of the IMX789 sensor "The OnePlus 9 Series will use a custom Sony IMX789 sensor for the largest and most advanced main camera sensor ever on a OnePlus device. I'm confident the professional photographers among you will appreciate the 12-bit RAW support, giving you more room for additional post-editing than ever before. The Hasselblad Camera for Mobile will also offer improved HDR video recording, as well as support for capturing 4K video at 120 fps and 8K at 30 fps." Launch date March 23 at 10:00 AM EDT / 2:00 PM GMT / 3:00 PM CET / 7:30 PM IST [link] [comments] | ||

| Old Facebook Messenger Chat Heads on Android 11 Workaround Posted: 07 Mar 2021 05:57 PM PST Hey everyone, If you're on a newer phone running Android 11, you might be as frustrated as me with the new buggy 'chat bubbles' feature that Messenger opted for instead of their original 'chat heads'. I found a temporary workaround to use the original 'chat heads' until they fix the feature and thought others might benefit. Steps:
This workaround has been working for me for a while, but it does reset itself if the app closes for any reason (multitasking, crashes, memory cleanup, restarting, etc). Swiping the bubbles away seems to be fine as long as the base app doesn't close. The steps above will need to be repeated if this happens. If you don't need to send pictures for whatever reason, you can keep the older version and not update the app. You will need to disable automatic updates in Messenger and Play Store for this, however. I'm calling this a workaround instead of a solution since it will 'break' very easily. Even if your system settings disables the 'chat bubbles', Messenger will instead send a defunct notification that doesn't do anything when trying to open a 'chat bubble'. My understanding is the newer versions of the app that support 'chat bubbles' have the original code for 'chat heads' to support pre-Android 11. However, if the system detects you can use the 'chat bubbles', it will automatically default to it without giving you the option. By installing an older version that doesn't support the 'chat bubble' and opening a 'chat head', you skip this check and instead tell Messenger to start the background process to draw 'chat heads'. When you update the app, this check doesn't happen again and now you're using the older 'chat heads' instead of the newer system level 'chat bubbles'. Hope this helps someone out there!

| Sunday Rant/Rage (Mar 07 2021) - Your weekly complaint thread! Posted: 07 Mar 2021 04:00 AM PST Note 1. Join our IRC, and Telegram chat-rooms! Please see our wiki for instructions. This weekly Sunday thread is for you to let off some steam and speak out about whatever complaint you might have about:
Rules 1) Please do not target any individuals or try to name/shame any individual. If you hate Google/Samsung/HTC etc. for one thing that is fine, but do not be rude to an individual app developer. 2) If you have a suggestion to solve another user's issue, please leave a comment but be sure it's constructive! We do not want any flame-wars. 3) Be respectful of other's opinions. Even if you feel that somebody is "wrong" you don't have to go out of your way to prove them wrong. Disagree politely, and move on. [link] [comments] |
