OnePlus and Instagram HDR
Still in the beginning of 2026, OnePlus stores the HDR photos in a prorietary ProXDR format, which is not supported by the Android Instagram app. That is why you only see HDR photos on IG taken by iPhone, Samsung and Google phones.
If you want to upload HDR photos from a OnePlus phone into Instagram, use this workaround (verified 6th of January 2026):
- Login to Instagram with the Android Chrome web browser (not the Instagram app!)
- Set the browser in desktop mode
- When posting a new photo, do not select it as a photo from the photo selector, but open the three dots menu from upper right corner, select “Browse…”
- Browse into “OnePlus 12 > DCIM > Camera” (choose the hamburger menu from top left corner to see the filesystem hierarchy)
- Select the JPG file from there
- Select original image ratio (the brackets-in-corners button), do not modify, enhance or filter the photo in any way
If it doesn’t work, make sure the photos are stored in JPEG format (this is what I have and I haven’t tried with any other settings combination):
- Under “Formats”, disable “10-bit colour” and “High efficiency image”
- Make sure the phone camera settings have “Auto HDR” enabled
GoPro Hero 8 Black: USB not detected by Windows 10
Just got myself a GoPro Hero 8 Black. Very nice until I tried to plug it in to my laptop (Lenovo Legion Y530) to download the test videos. GoPro detected USB and changed to USB mode, but Windows did not show the device or disk drives that you’d expect. Well, after a bit of research, it seems that the USB cable that comes with the GoPro is not USB 3.0 (white connector) and does not work on laptops with USB 3.0 ports only. When I changed to a USB 3.0 cable (blue connector), everything works as expected.
I was a bit disappointed, why do they save 1 cent on a cable that comes with a 379 EUR camera?
Here’s the reference. Thank you all for the info. Could not comment or thank in the forums so decided to write my own blog post. Hopefully someone else gets help from it.
