That was a mistake ma'am. They are not in my file manager and I didn't use a memory card.

Log out of your Mi account, then login again, reboot and check.

CornOak:
Thanks Odinga. I rebooted twice, but still couldn't find them. Now, the sad part is, 90% of my photos have now disappeared including the stock camera images.

@ Gptech, the images are not on Google Photos. The phone is Note 8.

Thanks bosses.

You use a memory card?

JeyNathan:
I dunno bout you guys, but have you tried using snap chat on RN8, the quality is disgusting �. I really like the stock cam and the gcam, but when it comes to Snapchat... It feels par to low quality infinix and tecno phones.. I don't even know why�

CCheck Whatsapp video too, it will get better with updates, reminds me of the Redmi note 5.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Happy birthday bros, long life and prosperity. Na your side BOXING day dey really happen oo.

CornOak:
Good morning guys and happy boxing day.

Please, I took many pictures with my GCAM yesterday and to my amazement, I couldn't find many of the images in my Gallery - they disappeared!

Please, what could be the reason and what can I do to revert the pictures?

Thank you.

Check them on Google photos if they are there.

Kallmerb:
Elders Council I have a question... We all know Gcam is just an App.. A software.. Why can't Xiaomi build their Camera app to be on same level with Gcam??


Took a selfie with the same camera on Gcam and stock cam.. The difference is like Genesis to Revelation.... Why cant all those developers work For a better stock cam on Xiaomi

Seems even Huawei, Apple, and Samsung have no answer to Google's computational photography. They use the weakest hardware but still are always on top with the very best. Can't imagine the outcome if they decide to go all out on hardware too.

elantraceey:

GrandMufti:

In the spirit of this festive season, my oga Jboixxx has decided to gift out 3 32GB OTG drives to the people of this thread. He'd like at least a student to get one and the other 2 are up for grab. The first student(with proof of being one) to quote this post gets one, yeah that simple while the other 2 drives will be given to first 2 posters on the next 2 pages. *You can only win once*

Merry Xmas to y'all.

Nice gesture, God bless jboixxx and others who have been doing stuff like this. One day we will do give aways with phones .

GrandMufti:

Babaheekmat:
To get compatible themes with this mui 11 na serious problem

Not a problem, na normal, wait till like end of January and search again, developers and theme creators dey flex now.

vower:
can gcam be installed on k20 out of box also?

Yes.

@quivah, as your apps increase in your device, battery normally drains faster because some of those apps constantly run in the background.

GrandMufti:
iPhone come be midrange

After using Redmi note 3 for about two years, I have finally joined the note 8 team ( and also added DH to the Xiaomi community, he is impressed).
Well, so far, note 8 has been refreshing.
Not much review now, but its most outstanding feature isn't so exceptional after all.
I have had a better camera from oppo with much lesser specs .12mp, which I will rate 8.5/10.
Well, maybe it was just the hypes with note 8 48mp.

I read some comments here about a girl's opinion of the note 8's camera, and some guys here were saying she probably doesn't know what good camera means.
I felt wow, note 8 must be so high then.
Not until I handled mine. Its 48mp isn't exactly what I expected. 7.3/10.
The front camera is out of it!.
But all the same, it's a significant upgrade from my note 3.
I think the note series generally don't have great cameras. Forget the number dem dey write for MP.
And yeah, I know what a good phone camera is and does.

The speed is incredible. I'm still finding it hard to use this on-screen buttons sha. If I need to click the space bar, sometimes I got the home button lol. And no, I got tiny fingers.
The sound is excellent and loud.
The phone is sleek.
We got blue and black colours. I love blue, but I got black.
And erm, I got a nano liquid screen protector from my seller, Maybach, I use YouTube to guide me through its installation but right now, I don't know if it worked. I mean, how does one test this? I'm not tempted to use my key to scratch my screen tho (illustrated in most of the videos I watched, but thank you, one even used hammer wtf?!) I am still getting a tempered glass sha.
I got a new case from my seller too. It's fresh, but it covered the phone's beauty, so I'm using the follow come silicone case, maybe for now until I don't find this phone special anymore ( which usually takes just a few weeks).
The battery is more than okay. I moved my data and apps from my old phone to note 8 using the Mi mover. Okay, talking about this now, I just realized shey I never move some bugs sef join like this?.
Cause e dey be like say I had more battery performance before I moved my apps abi na just my thinking? Cc gptech, grandmufti help me o.
Anyways on H+, it takes about 5 mins to lose 1% charge. I will have to compare it with my hubby's.

Dh already got an alert for the update to mini 11, but I never see anything. Not that I'm upgrading soon.

and Graphics is more than 'just okay.' Dark wallpapers make it come out better and beautiful.


overall 8/10. (for the price).


PS; I'm definitely selling in a few days! I got this for the camera, but I'm not impressed. no, be only me notice am.

Perspective! Maybe you should go for flagship devices since you are after cameras. What is good for you might be bad for others and vice versa. Never be moved by mega pixel count on cameras, picture quality largely does not depend on mega pixels just like larger ram does not determine speed of phones. For example the Redmi note 4 with 13mp outperforms the Redmi note 3 pro with 16mp. Coming from the note 3, maybe you actually expected a really huge upgrade with the cameras. Having said that, the Redmi note series starting with the Redmi note 5 offer better camera experience than any other phone with similar price bracket, it became even better starting from the note 7 because gcam can just be downloaded and used without any tweak, since camera2api is enabled out of the box. This is the real hype behind the cameras. The Redmi note 7 has a very good camera, the pro is even far better, that your friend said otherwise doesn't mean much afterall someone said the Samsung Galaxy A70 has a better camera than the Oneplus 7 pro some days back, fast forward to today, she is completely blown away by the cameras of the Mi 9T, it completely floored the A50 and A70 (side by side comparisons were made).
cc Fibonacci2526, madam is 'over satisfied ooo' .

GrandMufti:
That you still mentioned 48mp shows you know nothing about photography.

This issue of 48mp has been addressed here on several occasions. Check Gptech's posts.

Really surprised that people still bring it up.

Today na Xmas oooo. If you buy phone because of camera, then you just look for the ones with higher mega pixels, then the phones with best camera for the world for be mid range phones from Infinix and Tecno na .

Puvo:
December security update came and disappeared on my redmi 8a
will it still come back?

Yes.

Dem don go kill chicken, merry Xmas to everyone o .

Deeni131:

olanreyman:
LOL kuku tell me it's not fair price cos that's what you are saying indirectly

Ok, na fair price .

Tiger2020:

Bubu na genius .

Deeni131:
Selfie camera of my Rn8 is worst then any phone I have ever used. Even with the gcam I haven't notice any difference.

Really? We go like see side by side comparison with another device with better selfie if possible.

Sakie:
It's possible she wasn't impressed with what she saw cos she isn't used to it
Maybe one of her friends use the Camon 12 and she has been trying out the camera

And very likely, she didn't even compare side by side, eyes go clear las las.

genius43:
Beauty mode has blinded her.

Dey there, but so many too nr sabi use camera oooo, somebody dey complain say Oneplus 7 pro camera nr good at all, d person just open camera app for poor lit environment, then conclude say the Sammy A70 better pass am, I jus weak .

Tiger2020:
i think she wants in a situation whereby she will snap and it will hide all holes or pimples and makes face smoother

Who don worwor don worwor . U see why mostly ladies nr like gcam? Na because of the details like dis, dem dey find wetin go hide wetin God take bless dem . Well, but beatification always dey for d stock camera app na.

ikcid:

You can only export to sim after saving to either your mail or device.

EzekielMab:
Maybe like 2-3 years or so

Try and update your phone too if there's a pending update.

Jacobx007:
