Is anyone having a problem with the auto rotate screen function? When I rotate my phone sometimes the screen doesn't rotate with it. Like when using Facebook.

What situation are you using it under? I just tried, no issues but i don't use auto rotate cos i'm on the bed sometimes and they still haven't found a solution to that if you are in landscape mode yourself together with the phone. I think android has an option where it allows you to switch orientation in this situation but still not good enough. Also using facebook in landscape mode is a nightmare since its design for portrait.

Went for the rog 3 again. Was unable to let go of my pixel 4 as the camera photos are really outstanding. Then wife didn't give greenlight. So have to let go the poco instead. Maybe wait for the next same category poco. Honestly the batt life is good. But somehow my camera performance isn't that great. And the one sided speaker it's loud enough. But watching movie is like one ear got blocked and the other got sound. A little spoilt by the dual speakers

What you bought after selling? I think it's a pretty good phone that's unmatched so far in terms of price to performance.

You didn't install gcam on it? Cos Pixel no UW, very annoying though most non-flagship phones UW kinda sucks lol.

Which gcam version should i use for poco f2 pro? One installed any additional settings that needs to be done? And bugs and issues?
Click to expand...

I just use the latest and use it as it is and inside just do some general camera settings that's all as. Though i think they are specific configs customize for optimized according to each model but i haven't found one for Poco F2 Pro.

So far when there's sufficient lighting, i find there's no need for gcam. In fact, i find the Night Mode for the stock cam quite good so i only use gcam for very dark scenario but then that would mean a tripod is normally needed.

For my Note 9S i use Ultracam (not the latest), another port of gcam and the difference was night and day in every scenario to the point that i don't even go back to my stock camera unless i video shoot or use ultra-wide. Then i found the website (https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-UltraM8/) and installed the latest but i think it's not optimized for Note 9S and i end up getting terrible results :s13:. I never trial and error and just install the latest gcam over it but i have my Poco phone now so i never use this phone to take photos anymore so i dunno if the latest gcam is better than the latest ultrcam on this phone, too lazy to trial and error.

There is config file for Poco f2, but the front cam video doesn't work.

Also I've been reading that apparently if you save pics in 16:9 format the file size or compression is incorrect or something.

I find the selfie cam to be quite noisy too.

I'll probably just use the stock cam as my default shooter for now.

Eh do you have the link to the Poco F2 Pro config? Just check and can't seem to see it.

*Ahh nevermind i found it under another gcam port lol. Too many. I have yet to try the one that enable all the cameras.

Will Poco f2 be a good upgrade? Current user of poco 1, looking to keep poco 1 as spare phone.

Not a gamer and not a heavy user of camera, just wants a phone with decent battery life, cheap and fast haha.

You wanted to sell yours because the camera wasn't good?

The hardware is ok. It's the stock camera app that needs improvement.

I think most capable android phones have good camera hardware imagers. It's the stock app that is lacking. If they can improve their low light and hdr algorithm, for sure most would match or even exceed the top camera phones image quality.

are u still satisfied with f1 performance? are u upgrading because u feel that battery life is getting worse on your f1? if so, a battery replacement should suffice, as the 845 is still good for today.

Do you guys buy it from mi store directly or from local seller? I see the price difference is about $200 and I wonder if getting from official store for warranty is worth it.
