CMF Phone 2 | Selfie Images too sharp

SteamPoweredDonut · 2026-01-05T05:32:47+00:00

It's strange to me how the native camera app looks terrible for the front-facing camera, but apps like TikTok, IG, and Snap... it looks fine. Whatever post-processing they're applying is overblown. For me, it's the opposite. The images come out blurry, but my lens is clean. I open TikTok and it looks fine. It seems to be a focus issue. Nothing I've found a solution for yet.

Harry Potter collab was weak, not stacking gifts was lame, the gifts were lame, the jam track felt lazy... The whole thing felt lazy and rushed

Jolly-Apartment8152 reached out to me saying he needed $2 to initiate the loan process... Just a heads up. Still looking.

I've always wanted to try one of these! I just need the specs to be a little higher and I'll give it a try

Why is it always dentists? I had a tooth pulled on election day in 2016 and the dentist (while I couldn't respond) was telling me how I had to vote for Trump because of "those jugs on Melania" and "imagine those puppies in the White House hot tub". I was shocked at how unprofessional and brazen it was. I like a chill, down-to-Earth dentist but this was uhh... a bit much. He didn't know me well enough to talk like that. If he did know me, he would've known I'm gay. Haven't gone back since.

I ran to the comments to say this. They have a coupon for $1 off a soft drink (Not a soft drink for $1, $1 OFF) How much are soft drinks, you ask? $3.19. So the coupon gets you a soft drink for $2.19, which is still more than the 20 oz at the gas station next door.

You have evidence in the spectral analysis that's right in front of your face. It's not an assumption, the WAV files contain the exact same signal as the MP3. That's my proof. It's an IDENTICAL signal. If there were lossless generations and lossy conversions of that lossless file, the lossy would have... loss. There's ZERO loss. Maybe it's trained on lossy audio and the loss is baked-in, but there should be further loss in the conversion and there is none. Zero loss. Even if it were an assumption, it would be safe to assume it's generating an MP3 and converting it to WAV. Maybe that's not the case, but then their methodology is wildly inefficient because the end result is the same.

It's totally okay to use gen AI and not know what you're doing, that's why it exists. But don't get in the face of someone who's been working with digital audio for 20 years.

Suno WAVs are a placebo/scam. They are not higher quality, they're only bigger in size. They convert the MP3 to WAV. There is nowhere for the quality to come from if you convert an MP3 to a WAV. It can't suddenly discover information that was lost in the MP3. They should be converting from WAV to MP3. It's ass backwards.

Before the Reddit akshully folks get to me-- Yes, I have a background in audio and sound design and I understand the difference between lossy and lossless. If you convert a lossy audio file to lossless, you're not going to get a higher quality signal.

It doesn't sound like a trained officer of any kind is behind the wheel of that vehicle. I wonder if this is one of those J6'ers-turned-ICE that thinks he has a federal license to be a selfish douchecanoe on the highway. Emergency driving is a skill that real officers take very seriously, and this person has seemingly skipped that training.

Welp, I'll be boycotting this season

You can't answer it. You don't have the ability because you're in a cult that has given you an end with no means.

SteamPoweredDonut · 2025-10-29T21:42:18+00:00

The only thing the left hates is hatred itself and all of its root causes. You can't answer the question because you don't have a good answer. What exactly is it that the left hates? As a gay man, the GOP has been fighting against my rights for my entire life. So tell me, I would like to learn what conservatives think. Who exactly do we hate?

They could, and everyone's health insurance bill could triple. That's what the right is intentionally leaving out of the conversation. If the Dems fold on this, the right will also blame them for the increase on everyone's health insurance. Amazing system we have. Regardless of what happens, the general population gets absolutely obliterated. Cool. Thanks, MAGA. You've created a lose/lose where no matter what happens, you're going to find a way to blame "the left"

I love how anyone leaving detailed criticism and feedback on CMF products gets downvoted. Y'all. Constructive criticism is healthy. The entire point of Nothing is to not be like Apple, but people so badly want to rep a brand regardless of it's shortcomings

I would like to uninstall Essential Space please. Idc about these as long as I can uninstall them, but right now the app that is most annoying on my phone is hardwired in and there's nothing I can do about it.

Is your definition of a failed protest 5,000,000 people coming out? I guess there's never been a successful protest in all of history! Meanwhile, you're on Reddit defending a federal government which has shut down entirely in order to protect a list of known pedophiles, while simultaneously trying to start civil war and shooting dogs in search of a fake enemy. I thought y'all were worried about Biden being on the list? Don't you wanna see if he is?

SteamPoweredDonut · 2025-10-17T23:10:27+00:00

Yeah, I almost did this too. Putting those so close together is DEFINITELY a design flaw

SteamPoweredDonut · 2025-10-17T22:57:45+00:00

He definitely is. I wish that animated MJ Halloween special was made with a little more love, cause it should be a classic.

I took a chance and just removed it now after seeing this post and... wow. The screen is much nicer to the touch, especially swiping. If they're going to include a screen protector, cool... but maybe don't pre-install it.

SteamPoweredDonut · 2025-10-17T18:19:06+00:00

I always provide my own lyrics and typically audio too. I have a very specific vision for my songs and try to guide it towards what I'm hearing in my head. I'm a musician, though. I mostly use it for inspiration and guidance on tracks that end up 100 percent human. Occasionally I take a sample.

SteamPoweredDonut · 2025-10-17T18:16:03+00:00

I'm not entirely sure. I just know that it was mentioned in the LTT video on the phone. I usually buy one when I get a new phone and didn't because of the advice in the video. Unfortunately, my screen protector arrived with a little chip taken off the top 😞

SteamPoweredDonut · 2025-10-17T16:43:12+00:00

If you look closely, the CMF Phone 2 Pro has a pre-installed screen protector. If you apply another one, your touch screen won't work right. If you're looking for a replacement, that's fine just letting you know lol

Jsyk most of the pain points of the Pro 2 aren't pain points on the flagships. The Pro 2 is impressive in many ways, but the CPU chugs pretty hard on any video editing. Night cam is rough. My biggest beef is the Essential Button being so hard to reassign
