[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] picitup:
Well I wanted to find out if the 48MP images were real 48MP or were just upscaled 12MP so I took a whole load of images with Open Camera, Gcam xtreme and Stock Camera. The photos were of a focus test chart and I took jpegs, raw if possible and used all 3 lenses where possible. Of course I didn't need to do all these combinations to prove the point, but while I was under the hood.....

If you want a copy of all the jpegs, raws, crops and focus test chart, you can get the whole lot in a zip here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1A_K6m9aahmQdrA0eEArExZAHiz0LkKMu

Using GCam 48MP lens (12MP image), the circle set 14 was cropped out as GCam48MPWIDECrop.tif. The same circle set was cropped out from a 48MP Open Camera jpeg (OpenCamera48MPWIDECrop.jpg) and Stock Cam (StockCam48MPWIDECrop.jpg).

The 3 images were compared and unsurprisingly the GCam (12MP) image was 1/4 resolution and pretty rough when compared to the other 48MP crops.

The GCam image (GCam48MPWIDE.jpg) was then upscaled by 200% to produce a 48MP image and circle set 14 was cropped out again (GCam48MPWIDE_Upscaled_Crop.jpg).

Then the images were compared and I've included them in this post for you to look at. The first image is the GCam upscaled one, followed by OpenCamera crop, then the Stock Cam crop.

In my view, both the Open Camera and Stock Cam are better than the upscaled Gcam so that implies the camera does have a real resolution of 48MP.

What do you think?

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] konjislav:
To me the stock camera crop looks best out of the bunch.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] charado:
Hello Steve. First of all, thank you for the images you share with the Mi9T.

I'm triying to "scan" some old 35mm slides with the Mi9T cam and I need the best quality and resolution, of course that is 48mp RAW.

I've seen you were triying the same... did you get it?

For now, my best results have been with the stock cam, wide lens, and about 3x zoom, so I haven't got macro lens. Thats better than 48mp crop image (the zoom doesn't work in 48mp mode) and better than any RAW option with Gcam or OpenCamera.

Could you help me?

Thanks a lot.

[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] Athiril:
Bumping old post, but they are real 48mp sensors, I have a phone with the S5KGW1 which is a tetracell array, same as quad bayer. Ive shot and compared it a fair bit, and even shot a line chart that had a height of around 980 pixels, and managed to hit 950 lines. Upscaled 16mp would be limited to half 490 at the most. Only in the stock app though, third party apps using camera2 api to shoot 64mp jpegs are indeed upscaled 16mp. So far only the stock camera can do 64mp. Open Camera and all the others including gcam are not capable. camera2 api does report 64mp for jpeg, and even also for raw is available. But its currently not working.

Hello ! Sorry for my Google English. I have on the Oneplus 5T the firmware 9.04 and the Havoc ROM. In the complete reinstallation of Magisk 18.1 everything is fine. But after a restart Magisk is no longer installed and also with a new installation Magisk is not installed! The same with Magisk 19. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you
[Magisk] CrashOverride1995:
Flash your ROM's stock boot.img and then try installing Magisk again. The same thing happened to me on OP3T running HavocOS and this fixed for me. I'd advise you to stay on the stable v18.1 for now.

Huawei will release the mate 20 series soon in my country (idk what took them so long) should I get the pro model and assume they no longer have screen issues with the new batch or just get the regular mate 20 to be safe? I'm also considering the S10e but I'm so confused.

hardware huawei, software samsung
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Haroun:
Thanks all, my biggest worry is the screen of mate 20 pro, now that I know many suffered issues I'm a bit paranoid apart from that I would definitely get the pro model, guess I'll have a talk with Huawei when they release it here and make sure if everything is okay.

Samsung is a bit overpriced where I live S10E and mate 20 pro have same pricing and that's about my budget. Whichever phone I get I'll keep it for 3 years at least so I don't want to rush into it.

For now I think the regular mate 20 is the safest option and certainly the cheapest but I see no one talking about it.
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] Haroun:
Also I'm not into edge screens that's why I considered the S10E, I can get S10/S10+ but only through contract. And I'll have to spend more on good screen protector and cases, that's why I'm not considering getting either.

[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] NickDarleyJones:
Hello,

I am having a problem with my phone which is driving me up the wall. I think it's an issue with the version of Android rather than some physical issue with the phone.

I'm finding I'm not getting my notifications in a timely manner. For example, someone could send me a message on Whatsapp and I don't get a notification until 10 hours later (no exaggeration) or I get a two notifications from eBay saying a item is about to end and the other that I've missed it. It's making it difficult to enjoy using the phone.

I've tried disabling power optimization and allowing background data but to no avail. I've also factory reset my phone which seems to make no difference. Can anyone make a suggestion on how to resolve this?

Nick

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thrash magazine:
Hello all,

I figured I would ask a question and see if this is being done or not, and if not if you think it would be helpful to the community.

I have started up an excel spreadsheet of ROMS with benchmarks done. I only did two so far, but I figured I would get the communities input first. If you guys dig the idea, let me know I will gladly be in charge of keeping it up to date as long as cooks or benchmarkers message me the stats so I can add to them. I figure this could be helpful to all.

Click Here to download the XLS File.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thomassster:
awesome. This hasn't been done, but the problem is, cooks are always improving their roms and making different versions. Also, not every rom is identical, and some include more programs then others. I think if you been around here, benchmark comparison with two roms isn't the best way to compare two roms. The beauty of benchmark comparison is if there are drastic differences in scores, then it might be a rom that might need some work. This would be a great idea, but just a warning to users looking at these scores, just because one score is better than the other score of another rom doesn't make it a better rom.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] thrash magazine:
I completely agree, it is used with a word of caution...but it is good to see full benchmarking I think, comparisions side by side, atleast it is something I would like to see. As Dutty updated daily:D showing how improvements were done can be key, and it is easier in one place rather than 40 different rom threads.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] S.Wijman:
udK 8 R2 Vega tested

I have tested just now udK 8 R2 Vega after a clean install. Hope this info helps :)

Didn't know how to provide the data so have filled in the Excel sheet and attached it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] bengalih:
I like this idea, but I think that we need to get some more information about what all the numbers in the benchmarks mean.

For instance, what tool is being used to benchmark? What do the numbers mean? How do the numbers relate to any type of real world application.

Alot of these benchmarks are just theory and aren't reflected in any practical sense. I'd hate to see the community striving to reach a benchmark that has no real meaning.

Personally, I have tried about a dozen ROMs and I don't really notice significant differences in speed. I don't really care about boot up speed because I am generally not rebooting, and I really don't care about the difference between 60 and 90 seconds when rebooting my device. When using and switching between applications I rarely notice signifcant differences, and if there are, I think they are maybe in the 5-10% range, barely signifcant.

So, before we begin a repository of benchmarks I think it is more important to establish what we are measuring, how we are measuring it, and what does it actually mean. I have seen some benchmarks that are waaay higher than others but those ROMs don't necessarily perform better.

my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Molvol:
Hi!

I had lots of trouble with my S7edge and did lots of flashing and resetting. At some point on 6.0.1 after factory reset I went quickly through the initial screens and was very surprised to get at some point a long list of accounts offered that I could transfer to this phone (they are not showing in my Google account now, it was Yahoo and such things). Those accounts were from an older Galaxy on the same account. I skipped that and wanted to use it later.

Now I updated to 8.0.0 and even on inital setup such a screen or offer never showed.

Any idea where I could find this? The strange thing is that I had Google cloud copies disabled wherever I could but assumed to have surely missed to deactivate sometime somewhere. Since the phone was totally wiped multiple times this data can only have come from the one Google account I used. But if I go to e.g. restore contacts it is empty as expected.

Where did Google/the phone find this rather exhaustive list of accounts from my other phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chanchan05:
Google backups can only be restored on setup. So you have to factory reset to get those options again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Molvol:
Oh wow - another fail there. The thing is I did not notice that option on the last reset after installing an Oreo system. Any reason why it wasn't offered? I think I removed the google account before upgrade and did the initial setup with signing up so as to not run into more trouble with FRP. So I guess not signing in with a google account in the setup screens - but hitting skip - will cancel any chance of restoring?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chanchan05:
If you factory reset again, since there's no Google account on the phone if I understand you correctly, it will ask you again on setup. Don't you have other backups?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Molvol:
It's not about backups, I just wondered why it offered me restore in the first place despite me thinking all cloud backup was disabled. But then when I actually wanted to try and see what is backed up I can't without resetting the phone again. And I'm even doubtful it will ask again as it did not ask after the last ROM upgrade.

Well... Flashed my A50 dual sim with Odin and the phone decided to pick CAC produkt code (Uzbekistan???). Any chance to change it to BTU or DBT??? Phone is ok, no issues, just some apps refusing to install stating "Not compatible"... Btw running on latest 9.0 with March security patch...

Follow up:

Managed to get BTU (unbranded UK) ROM. Removed SD and SIM. Hard reset and flashed the whole update. Not impressed when saw russian on boot... Well, after intial setup (without SIM and SD) put in Vodafone sim and.... Still on CAC(Uzbekistan)!!! Did the same on my A8 2018 and it changed to XEU .

What could be the culprit?!

No issues with CAC,the phone is ok,but what is annoying is that many apps show "App is not compatible". The apps are My Vodafone,some of banking apps. Have to install them manually but no updates afterward...
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Flash the DBT firmware with Phone Sim removed. Insert your sim when you’re done with the initial setup. Also, use CSC_XXX in place of Home_CSC.

Yeah I used the csc instead of home _csc but had my vodafone card in it. Then I checked the codes and they are in the same "bucket" XEU.
