Anonymous, 03 Jun 2020Are you on version C.10?Yes ... personally i love this phone and brand too.. almost 10 days ago i bought realme C3 but after this update i just hate my phone now just because of those few bugs which i already mentioned in my previous comments.. If you know anything regarding this kindly help.

    So first you must create a new backup and see its size. Remember your messages , call history, contacts and other system setting will be saved.

    As an additional step you can also use backup option in 'google' in settings menu.

      Realme321GO, 03 Jun 2020Thanks ! I am in Mexico so unfortunately any sort of in-per... moreHi, you can select the back up and restore option in additional settings and create a 'new back up' , which will backup all your apps(without their app data), contacts , messages etc. You will get the option to back up either to internal or external memory.
      You should select External memory(SD) as the internal memory will be wiped during factory reset.
      If you have access to a laptop or computer you can move or copy your 'back up' there temporarily as you said your SD card do not have much space.
      Removing SD during factory reset is safe, you can take it out in order to avoid any data loss and put it back after reset.
      In my opinion realme backup option is safe as you are keeping your data in your phone or computer.
      You can also use realme cloud option called 'Heytap cloud' (in settings menu), but i never use it.
      While factory resetting all erase option is better.
      One more thing there is an app called 'realme community' which is available in playstore. In this app there is an option to chat with customer service executive so that you can clear your doubts. Please check whether this app is available in your region.

      important thing is that factory reset is only an option and only try it if you have some time to spare.

        Here are photos of the options that are available to me as far as back up and restore on my Realme 3 , perhaps you can guide me on which option is optimal ?

        I will try to move all my important apps to SD card although it'll likely require clearing up a lot of space on my SD card that isn't currently available, and some apps don't allow being moved to SD card ? But I really only have several really important ones

        Would you recommend removing the SD card from the phone prior to doing an eventual factory reset of any kind ? Or keep it in ?

        Factory Reset Options --- I see 5 options , how do you rank them from minimally to maximally invasive / restorative? Which option can I expect to actually reinstall the whole OS so hopefully GPS only mode will go back to normal , speed will pick up again , less lag , faster bootup time of camera app, etc.

            Realme321GO, 03 Jun 2020So what's the best software to backup ALL apps ALL settings... moreJust do a normal backup and restore and see if the issue persists. U can backup contacts, messages, call history, wifi settings, weather settings and other system settings etc through the phone.
            As for apps, you will lose the app settings and will be only able to backup .apk files. So that you don't have to download them(if you have lots of apps) from playstore. Only the .apk files will be backed up which means you can install the backed up app(for example whatsapp), but you will have to login again and restore whatsapp data from google drive.
            There are apps for backing up app data like titanium backup, migrate etc but all these require root.
            No brand(Samsung, xiaomi Realme, sony etc) provides app data backing up. In Miui it was possible before(Miui 9) but now it is not possible.
            I think every brand should have the option to backup everything(including app data) in their UI.
            The options for you are-
            1) Do a normal factory reset after backing up meassages, contacts , settings , apps(.apk only) and restore everything from back up. You can create backup in SD card. You will have to install every single third party app(facebook, whatsapp) from the back up and will have to sign in again. This may solve the lagging.
            2) Wait for next update from Realme(it will take a month or two)
            3) Visit/contact Realme service centre/customer service(if nearby) and tell them to rectify the issue.

            I would really like to help you, otherwise i won't bother writing this long essay and waste my time.

              So what's the best software to backup ALL apps ALL settings , contacts, before doing a full factory reset ? OR would you just do a more superficial reset (there is some settings for that in the phone)? My Realme 3 is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very buggy after latest update and I am NOT OKAY WITH IT!

                i just updated my phone almost week ago , everything works great, i think there is a lot of improvement, but i do have some issue including battery draining fast, its takes too much time to charge full battery, heating up during charging, and i also i kept my phone at night with 48 % charge and when i woke up at morning battery charging was 23 %. i wrote to Realme support services, i also report in bugs at realme community but still my problem not resolved. i hope that they will provide us more update to fix these issue.

Haven't tested the marlin version.It is good to have the latest gcam port for our device.

                  In your case,you should keep on trying to find the best .xml and keep checking the telegram groups. The devs in telegram groups are even testing custom rom for realme 3(little late because of chipset).

                    Anonymous, 31 May 2020You don't know anything dude all claims made by you were falseI've shared over a hundred facts about this phone in past year. What claim did you find to be false?

                    If it's about people facing bugs in last update, I'll remind you that no Android or iPhone is safe from bugs in updates. Realme 3 is one of the most stable/bug-free Android phones in budget segment. It also has one of the least complaints you'll find in reviews, flagships included.
                    You can try to prove me wrong by giving example of other phones.

                    It rarely gets any bug and all of them are usually minor or easily fixed by Realme or users themselves. Unlike other budget phones like Redmi Note 7 with constant weak signal bug, poor battery bug, display bug, low performance, over heating bug.
                    Ask RN7 users. They've been asking to fix them ever since that phone came out.

                            And 3,32GB or 4,64GB?

                            I've P60 4,64GB. Nightsight works great but those configs didn't work good for my selfie camera. Slowmo didn't work either. I applied my own .xml on it from marlin_test version which fixed colours but selfie details/clarity weren't good.
                            I don't think it's best Gcam for Realme 3.

                            onFire 4th form or marlin_test were best for Realme 3 in my research. 4th form also has slowmo issue, so Marlin_test is overall best. It has best quality, edge detection and slowmo works but I feel that 4th form lags less.

                              And I've noticed many Gcam designed for MI9SE work good on Realme 3 compared to others.

                              And thanks a bunch! I didn't know Realme 3 had good developer support on Telegram. I found both .xml and latest Gcam (Test1.apk by onFire). Gonna try it soon!

As for the new Onfire camera , the ui lag is still there but for me it is not that is not a big issue. In the previous version(7.3.020) that i was using nightsight used to crash and now it is working. I am not an expert in gcam modes so i cannot say whether this version(nightsight working) is better than last version. By the way i just checked the new version no and its is also 7.3.020. So i think they improved the last version and got nightsight working. So you can check new version by going to telegram group and see if it meets your expectations. I am using HDR+ mode instead of HDR enhanced(which takes time to process) and HDR+ process the photos immediately. Even though nightsight is working it is taking nearly 20 seconds to process. I will mainly using HDR+ mode as it is fast.

                                        There are some new settings and finding best settings will take a lot of time x.x

                                        FHD video recording works,
                                        Portrait edge detection seems decent,
                                        Nightsight works,
                                        And the camera doesn't seem to lag that much. It might be because Gcam 7.3 was built for Android 10 as well.
