[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smads:
I have read alot of the threads involving the performance of the camera (in video mode and when operating the camera in still mode before taking a still image) and blaming this on the tytn2's lack of hardware video rendering. I have made some observations as a photographer.

My opinion is that the performance is due more to the exposure/sensitivity of the CCD than to the graphical rendering of the tytn2.

For example - in low light, the camera really suffers from low frames per second. Could this be due to the lack of sensitivity of the CCD i.e. the need to expose each frame longer per second to render the scene. The Tytns2's graphical engine can only display an image once it has received one from the camera, therefore providing slow frame per second updates.

Point the camera outdoors or directly at an indoor light and the fps of the camera shoots up to over 20 fps. The camera needs to expose the scene less , i.e. the shutter speed is quicker. The camera imagery is feeding more frames to the graphic hardware to render and therefore the fps goes up.

I would love the Tytn2 to render dark indoor scenes in a more fluid way but I feel this is a short fall of the camera hardware and not the graphic engine that is waiting for frames of imagery from it.

My orignial tytn does reproduce better results indoors and has a faster display update when framing stills or using moving video - BUT - the tytn only has a 2mp CCD.

Clearly there is a problem with lack of suitable graphic drivers from HTC but has the benefit from having a 3mp camera in the Tytn2 meant a trade off in camera video indoor performance??

Just my take!

Thanks

Stu
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] undac:
While what you say might make some sense I think it's a very steep performance drop. Too steep to just be explained by exposure issues?

I haven't really experienced a similair issue with any other camera. If you know of other products with similar problems is the performance drop really that bad?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
I suppose wishing for an option that disables auto-brightness is going to get me no-where :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dperren:
I have to agree on this one; the fact that the camera performs nearly perfectly in good lighting does seem a little odd - I suppose performance issues could be introduced by the CPU rather than the GPU having to increase the brightness of each frame to display on the preview screen though?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] smads:
Yes I agree, which leads me believe it is the camera in the Tytn2 which is the problem. In good light the camera responds well - or should I say the graphics engine is able to do its job rendering the scene without any lag as it isn't waiting for the camera to send it data. The graphics engine either works or it doesn't. It is having to render a 320x240 image regardless of whether the camera is in low or good light.

If it can do this well in good light then, given a decent camera app, it should have no problem in low light. I am running the new V5 camera app from HTC btw.

Could I just say that I have signed the petition, as I believe there are other issues with the D3D drivers which have other implication on other apps.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Steve-C:
CCD! Thats it! I was talking about this in another post and had CMOS stuck in my mind, not CCD! Comparing results from a proper camera set to 3MP and the Kaiser the results vary a lot, especially in poorer lighting conditions, or scenes with a lot of colour. I have also noticed image quality differs between my 3yr old Nikon D70 DSLR (6MP) and brand new Casio Exilm compact (7.2MP) (the Nikon is better) and I'm sure this has to do with the quality of the Nikon hardware compared to the Casio. With this knowledge, I don't think any driver improvements are going to increase the performance / quality of the Kaiser camera.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] juiceppc:
Then why does Qualcomm's site say the camera can record 640x480 but that is not a setting on the Kaiser? Should this be easy to change?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rainersnookh:
What you say does makes sense, haven't really thought of that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9b1L7m7G0Y

This clip was shot on a Touch Dual (also 2mp CCD) in normal indoor lightning, is the fps anything like the Tytn?

I dont know what fps I was getting but when the device is turned away from a close bright source of light the fps drops noticeably.

Anyway, I can't say I'm pleased with the camera on my device. Nor overall video performance for that matter.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] princeasi:
Honestly, whats the point of having the settings where you can switch different lightings when that dayum camera stays in night mode, no matter what setting you choose?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Steve-C:
What do you mean by different lightings? If you mean the part where you can change the white balance for sunlight, light bulbs etc, then thats to stop the colour cast you would get otherwise. Sunlight would be normal, a incandescent bulb would be very orange, flourescent green (i think). If you mean something else, please clarify.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] over2land:
Any camera is dependent on how much light actually striikes the recording element... film or digital doesn't matter.

Also as a photog, one thing I've learn these years past is the more light you can get to strike whatever it is actually recording the image, the better the image clarity and true to life the color will be. So, a larger lens, or a lens with better glass (clarity) that lets in more light will almost always yield the better picture, all other settings and environmental variables being the same.

This likely applies to the SLR comparison above. I don't think this necessarily applies to the 8925 to 8525 comparison, as both seem equally tiny. However, my 8925 isn't yet a week old, and I've already got a scratch across the "lens" built into the battery cover. Also, this phone shoots through not one, but two pieces of plastic over the actual lens (or the outermost piece of glass that comprises said lens). I don't see how that can be good at all.

FWIW, sure the pictures are physically bigger (space on disc), but I agree with the consensus, the result isn't as good as the previous model except in bright (such as day) light.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] princeasi:
yes, that's what I meant, thanks, I couldn't figure out the name of those settings for the life of me!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] juiceppc:
Back to the CCD vs. driver issue. I don't believe this is a CCD issue. Doesn't the HTC Advantage use the same CCD? 3mp? If so does that camera suffer the same HORRIBLE low light performance? If not which I don't think it does it's not the CCD but the rendering. Also the Advantage uses a different chipset which would really show it's not the CCD but point directly at the chipset/lack of driver.

Also my HTC Touch performs WAY better in low light than my Kaiser. Why would HTC purchase a "newer" CCD that performs worse than their previous CCD? Why I ask?!

Does anyone else feel like the people running these smartphone manufacturing businesses do not have their finger on the pulse of the community? And I'm not talking about low expectation every day average Joe who's only phone they ever had was a Motorola Razr and could care less as long as they can check their email and get text messages... I'm talking about XDA community type people. People who want a PC in their pocket(with a phone built in). Not just a phone in their pocket that checks email...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Audio:
Because they are cøcks. :)

But think of it this way:

Why would HTC purchase a "newer" Graphics chip that performs worse than their previous Graphics chip?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] atomikpt:
it's all about the money guys!

just think.. they put a ****ty one that is cheaper in lots of Kaiser..

People think.. oh Kaiser.. it's the best PDA around..

It must have all the best..

and then it turns out that they can do this things..

they can make a very large profit (cause of the millions PDA's sold arround the world).. changing just a few pieces..

well it's just a theory!

comment i'm insane ;)

So basically I have connected my Oneplus 2 to the PC and I want to manage my files (move/delete/create new folders) but the only thing that works is moving files from Android to PC or vice versa. If I create a folder or move a file to another folder in the phone storage the explorer either crashes or a window pops up 'waiting for device' which never stops. Is there a solution to this? I think it has something to do with the developer settings on the phone...

[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elheuste:
I'm aggravated by smartlock. It seems that my trusted devices constantly drop off or disappear. I set my bluetooth speaker in the car as a trusted device but inevitably I'll get in the car and after the speaker is connected to my phone, I find that my lock screen is still locked. When I go to smart lock and look under trusted devices, nothing is there. What the *#@*(?? I've done this repeatedly and it never works like it is supposed to. Am I mistaken about what smart lock really does? When connected to a trusted device shouldn't it allow me to skip the lock screen? Even if it doesn't, and I am mistaken about what smartlock does, why are my trusted devices always disappearing from the list and need to be re-listed? Very aggravated..please, somebody got a fix?
