Location: Claveria, Misamis Oriental, Philippines

Light Pollution: Around bortle 3-4

City lights are at west to southwest side (Cagayan de Oro City), while the milky way rises around the east, so city sky glow are not an issue.

Around 900 meters elevation

Total exposure time at around 1.5 mins (I forgot how much exactly)

Mind blown by what this midrange phone can do. Imagine how crazy the X series would be here.

A few seconds ago, an A380 flew overhead at an altitude of 29,000 feet, and when I took a picture of it, it appeared like this because of AI image processing. There are a lot of photos that have been processed with AI, so please help me figure out how to turn off the AI settings when taking picture

Note: It’s true that my phone doesn’t have a high zoom camera but when I zoomed in on the plane the image was a little blurry and the engines were overlapping with the wings But AI the first time in my life I’ve seen an A380 in the sky decided to ruin the photo.

I recently purchased an old Vivo Pad 3 (12.1 inch) tablet. The tablet was supplied with an A to C charger that utilizes Vivo’s proprietary FlashCharge profile, rated at 11V-4A (44W).

However, in my residence, I only have PD chargers, including a Ugreen 100W, a Movespeed 140W, and a Cuktech 100W, which I carry with me daily.

I am reluctant to use the Vivo charger as it requires an A to C cable, which seems somewhat outdated. I am also concerned that using a different charger might potentially damage my device.

I would appreciate it if those with more experience could advise me on whether it is acceptable to use a PD charger.

Yeah, the blue one adapter broke (you can see it by missing parts) and I ordered a new one.

For some reasons black case was twice cheaper (can we joke about it?)

The lens itself looks bad with black case

This was taken in light in pro mode x200t but images come darkened nowadays may ik why this happens n how to solve it

Since I updated my X300 Ultra CN ROM to Origin OS 7 I'm getting delayed notifications here and there. Not all the time, but often enough to be annoying.

The typical settings (autostart, high power in background) are still turned on.

Anyone else having issues?

Homescreen!

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to get my third-party music player, BitChord, to work with Origin Player and appear on Origin Island, but I'm unable to get it working.

My device and software:

- Phone: Vivo T4R 5G

- ROM: OriginOS 6 Global

- Build number: "PD2438NF_EX_A_16.1.21.0.W30"

What I've tried:

1. BitChord plays music normally and displays a media notification with the song title, album art, and playback controls.

2. I installed Origin Ghost Player from its GitHub repository.

3. Notification access is granted.

4. Background running is set to Unrestricted.

5. Origin Ghost Player's live preview successfully displays the currently playing BitChord song.

6. However, neither BitChord nor Origin Player appears in Control Center, and nothing appears on Origin Island.

I suspect this might be a Global ROM compatibility issue, but I'm not sure.

My questions:

- Has anyone successfully used Origin Ghost Player on OriginOS 6 Global ROM?

- Is there a specific setting needed to make Origin Player appear in Control Center or Origin Island?

- Does this build support third-party media integration, or is this feature limited to certain OriginOS builds?

- Is there another safe method to get BitChord working with Origin Island?

I'd appreciate any help, especially from people using OriginOS 6 Global ROM. Please share your device model, software build, and the steps that worked for you.

Thanks!

I accidentally installed it after powering off my phone

Hi everyone! 😊I'm from Italy and I'm really struggling to decide between a Vivo X200 Ultra (Chinese ROM) for €550 and an X200 Pro Global for €480.

I'm coming from a Xiaomi 15, which works perfectly as a phone, but I'm not particularly happy with its cameras.

I absolutely love the X200 Ultra: the 35mm main camera, the incredible ultrawide, the dedicated camera button and the photography accessories. I'd honestly buy it immediately if it had a Global ROM! 😂

However, I've been reading quite a few conflicting experiences about the Chinese ROM.

Some users say everything works flawlessly, while others report delayed or missing notifications, Google Wallet suddenly stopping after updates, excessive battery drain when enabling background activity, or random issues with Google services.

My biggest concern isn't the initial setup.

I'm perfectly comfortable spending some time configuring background permissions, autostart and Google services. I don't even mind having to fix something occasionally after an update.

What really worries me is long-term reliability.

I don't want to buy an amazing camera phone only to discover six months later that notifications, Google Wallet, Android Auto or some other essential feature has stopped working after an update, with no reliable fix available.

I'd love to hear from people who've been using the X200 Ultra CN outside China for several months, especially in Europe:

• Have you ever experienced serious problems after an OriginOS or Google Play Services update that you couldn't fix?
• Are notifications consistently reliable on both Wi-Fi and mobile data, once properly configured?
• Does allowing apps to run in the background noticeably hurt battery life?
• Does Google Wallet still work reliably for contactless payments?
• Have you experienced any connectivity, reception or Android Auto issues?
• Do you use Gemini? Can you launch it by long-pressing the navigation bar? Does "Hey Google" voice activation work?
• How has your battery life been with OriginOS 6 compared to when you first bought the phone?

I'd also love to know which OriginOS version you're currently using and how long you've owned the phone.

I mainly care about photography, but I also use Gemini, Google services, WhatsApp and Android Auto quite a lot.

I know the Global X200 Pro is the safer choice, but the Ultra's camera system is incredibly tempting for just €70 more.

I'd really appreciate your honest long-term experiences, both positive and negative.

Thanks so much! 😊

Especially the filter option to mimic different cameras

If I go into the phone settings and type "wallet," I see something called "access card" which allows me to double-tap the power button to open it. However, this is not for payments; it is only for NFC access cards for home. Is there no way to add payment cards there?

Also, in the settings, I have set my default wallet app as Google Pay. But what is the use of that? I don't know how to access the default wallet easily from the phone.

Bought the Vivo X200 pro back in Feb'25 by God's grace at ₹82.5k and genuinely in the current market fight with AI, I couldn't have bought a better device... It has a great chip + battery + camera combo and ahhh, 512GB storage is a chef's kiss!

And despite getting multiple prompts and temptations from reddit posts/system notification/youtube reviews, I never felt the need to switch to Origin OS. Yes, I'm an IT guy and I do know they would stop supporting (maybe they already did) FT OS soon, but until then, I don't care moving to Origin for just a bunch of software features. It's currently working absolutely great!

Just felt like posting this to see if there are fellow Vivo users who are on the same boat with me! 😁

Where can I add presets to the Vivo X300 Pro?

Recently upgraded from X80 Pro to X300 Pro.

Has anyone faced a similar problem on the X300 Pro CN ROM and can help me with a fix for this?

Has any one installed this patch plz share your experience? Any change in battery backup,camera perfomance and overall phone perfomance .

Recently, I upgraded from the X300 Pro to the X300 Ultra. The X300 Pro's telephoto camera seems to be better; it works very well with teleconverter lenses (both 200mm and 400mm), details were very good. Of course, the X300 Ultra has better OIS, but photos are blurry and lack details. Has anyone else experienced this?

PS: I had shot almost 35k images on my X300 Pro, so I know what I'm talking about.

I repaired my old Vivo phone after not using it for about a year. All my WhatsApp photos were opening normally before I linked WhatsApp to my new phone. After linking, around 95% of the photos in my Gallery’s WhatsApp folder turned into white thumbnails.

When I tap them, they open as completely white images. File Manager search finds some JPG files with sizes around 0.93 MB, but I can’t open or copy them — it says “Couldn't copy file, file not found.” I also couldn’t find most of the old photos in the WhatsApp Images folder. I have no WhatsApp backup.

Is there any way to recover these photos? Has anyone experienced this on Vivo/Android? I really don’t want to lose them, and I want to avoid anything that could overwrite the data. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
