I feel you. I personally love this phone. But I guess it's okay to discuss it's failings too. It's not as perfect as it was made out to be a year ago. Plus there's a lot to be said about the policies Samsung and other manufacturers are adopting nowadays. Look at what OnePlus has become... Compared to most Android manufacturers, I still feel Samsung is at least trying hard to improve. They do have their fair share of antics and facepalm decisions but overall I'd say they've improved compared to what they were. If only they'd stop aping Apple and focus on a more coherent design philosophy and build on their strengths, they have everything it takes to build a formidable rival to the iPhone and every other phone/tech company out there. Some constructive critisism is healthy
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dezborders:
Totally agree. If you have an S21 ultra dont upgrade to S22U for 6 months then buy S22U on Facebook Marketplace, ebay, Craigslist...

(I just bought a mint condition S21 ultra locally for £475 and wil run on that for 6 or 12 months then get an S22U when its as cheap)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
People using the phone can discuss the failings since they are the ones dealing with them, but I don't waste my time on iPhone forums or sites pointlessly telling iPhone users why I don't like the phone. There seems to be some jealousy about the S21U because it's not a troll problem. People insist on detailing what is wrong with the phone and why they will not buy it, to a group of people that have the phone. Jealousy? They're adding no value to any conversation and just taking off-topic most of the time. One person asks how to disable an app, someone replies telling how much bloatware the phone has and that is why they will not buy it 🤷‍♀️ Not an answer. I hope the S22 Ultra forum will be better but I do expect to see certain users there still moaning that Samsung is doing it wrong whilst somehow selling millions of the devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] DS1000RR:
I guess the easiest answer to the question is: Do you want it and have the means to buy it? If yes; buy it and enjoy it! If no, then don't buy it!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
Wasn't considering switching, but looking at the specs... kinda seems like a downgrade.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yeah I've come across a couple of characters like that over here. They usually don't own the device in question but for some reason are the first to answer questions about it based on their "internet research". And after a lot of irrelevant jargon, they will usually rant about how their 3 generation old device is "superior" than all the recent ones. I usually just ignore those posts and let them be happy in their little bubbles of delusion. You find one or two of these characters in every device forum. It's safer to just ignore these instead on engaging... much more useful reading stuff written by people who actually own a device than by self-proclaimed vaporware pundits.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
You have a S22U in your hand?

Of course not. You're doing the exact same thing I'm doing, looking at the shadows on the cave wall. Time will be the judge.

Im calling it now just like you, and I say snake eyes on another lame roll of the dice. My thoughts are as valid as yours unless you can discredit them. Discrediting me preemptively because you no valid counterpoint is nothing.

So why is a lefty mounted spen good if your right handed?

We will see who called it right...

As for how to handle a situation with a member you just loathe, who's words are too-too to bare, have all the wrong answers or are who boring you to tears, do what I sometimes do and punch the ignore button.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eaoosa:
Yes, upgrade. From the initial previews, the cameras are looking to be a game changer. Not only is there senor upgrade at the hardware level, software is also on another level.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Wmateria:
They should have eliminated the 8GB Ram version and just stuck with the 12GB as a base minimum like the S21 Ultra. The only thing on Whosetheboss channel that i like for the review of the S21 Ultra is how the camera follows the object during hybrid zoom and takes great photo. Otherwise there is no review for the battery, and considering how A12 is like nowadays, I am glad I still have the last stable A11 on my S21 Ultra. He has not reviewed the battery life, so my say on that situation is that I am glad to have this phone, and I can play AetherSX2 no problem on the go and will probably keep this S21 Ultra for a long time til i need to service my own phone to put a new battery in.

I *almost* bit the bullet and traded my s21u in for the s22u but honestly can't see any reason to upgrade, I don't use the cameras enough to benefit from the better cams (i wonder how much of that will get ported to via software) or OS / everyday use, nor will I use the pen daily
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
The Exynos in my S21U has never struggled or lagged so the small CPU increase will not be an issue. The S22U does more machine learning work on usage and camera so the double of NPU power is what matters. That is needed more in today's phones than general CPU. I am happy with the figures and definitely sorting my upgrade out today.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Dizzyrul3z:
On other side, it's impressive how they upgrade camera. Here x30:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eaoosa:
Adaptive pixel is looking like a game changer.

The Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's zoom capabilities are blowing us away

These are the advancements that I was looking for. New updated camera sensor hardware and software seems to bring wonders. Can't wait for my 1TB Black S22 Ultra!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
Every year they claim the new camera is a game changer, and every year it lags to the post processing in Apple phones. I don't really use the camera all that much, but if I had to pick which takes the best stock pictures I couldn't in good conscience say anything other than Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eaoosa:
Sorry to burst your bubble but Samsung takes better photos than the iphone. As far as videos, Apple has the lead but we'll see how it fares this year. And yes, Adaptive Pixel. Have you seen it? The difference is night and day. Imagine the sharpness of an 108mp image with the brightness of a 12mp binned image. Nothing even comes close. Then there's the far better edge detection. List goes on. I don't blame you for not knowing this as you said it yourself, you don't use the camera that much. Well I do.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
Not gonna argue, do your own research.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eaoosa:
Nothing to argue about. Facts are facts.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Anyone else thinks the bottom-firing speaker of the S22U is on the wrong side? Holding the phone in landscape the way I think people usually do, the speaker gets effortlessly covered by your palm. Note 20U is also this way.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] founchki:
oh god I didn't even realise that until you mentioned it

that's a stupid idea
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] eldrid:
I had bought the s21 ultra pre launch last year and was disappointed with the camera performance initially and returned it. A few months later they fixed most of the issues and I bought it again on ebay for £800 new. I've loved the phone since and to me cameras are the most important thing on the phone. This year's s22u sounds very promising from the reviews. Pre ordered it. The trade in for the s21u is apalling so decided to pass that on to the missus and trade in her note 9 instead. For older phones in gener they're offering really good trade in value.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
What huge brand would consider swapping out for Dimensity? Samsung, that's not happening. iPhone, not in a million years. Sony, I think not. Xiaomi uses Snapdragon and MediaTek, they might expand it to all their devices but here's the real problem. Anyone looking at a true flagship smartphone isn't going to buy a cheap Chinese phone just for a MediaTek SoC.

​
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Joloxx9:
IMO it is not, I mean if I could trade in my current s21 ultra, and pick up S22 ultra for let's say 150GBP I could consider it, but anything higher is just a no-no.

I think I will wait 4 months, and at that time I should be able to pay off my contract from the money that I can take for S21 ultra, this should make that upgrade free for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ledvedder:
I'm trying to decide if I wanna go with the Plus or the Ultra from my S21 Ultra. I'd like to get a bit smaller.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
Hum I don't think you ever used an iPhone as a primary device to say that.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
I haven't, but I've taken pictures on default settings with both phones side by side, apart from the iPhone sometimes oversaturating the picture to uncanny heights, most colors will look more more natural and vivid on the iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I have both since a long time, because they give me an iphone at work every 2 years.

We literally never take the iphone on vacations.

iPhone can be better in certain scenes, but overall, there is not even a match. S21U is far batter for taking photos.

But iphones takes better 4k60fps videos, if we except the night shots.

You're talking about tastes, not objective performance.

You can watch blind comparisons to see that I'm right, S21U wins in every possible ways.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Leo SAMSUNG:
If you're a fan of galaxy note, then yes, for the S22 Ultra are a brand new note compared with the Note20 Ultra.

Also if you are highly dependent on cameras, then the updates on tele 3x and 10x won't let you down.

But if you're not interested in those two features above, why not just enjoy your S21Ultra just like me 😀.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] inpression:
That's true, and I know the S21U takes higher quality photos, specs wise, but I do rate color fidelity higher when it comes to picking a side.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
That's a question of choice and I understand that.

I couldn't care less about color fidelity on my part. I just want a good picture to watch and a great souvenir.

But if I need to, I use the Pro Mode and now the Raw+ app.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bitpushr:
I wasn't going to, but due to the excellent trade-in offer, I'm going to the S22.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jabbarh123:
Definitely not. The best Samsung phones are the odd numbered ones, that's when they make a perfected model of the previous change from the even numbered device. S2 perfected version of S1, S4 perfected version of S3, S6 perfected version of S5... you catch my drift.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
The only reasons to "upgrade" would be minor camera improvements or you're a Note Fan who needs an S-Pen. The 45W Charging only knocks 3 minutes off compared to 25W. The battery drain is much faster than the S21 Ultra. Battery life is 8 hours 50 minutes on the S22 Ultra compared to 11 hours 25 minutes on the S21 Ultra. We're also seeing early reports of overheating especially pronounced on the Exynos variant despite their new Vapor Chamber. Hard to see how Samsung doesn't take a hit with the S22 Ultra. There's little to point to that makes this device worth of consideration.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Can you post a link to that battery life comparison please? That's a huge difference!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
We are seeing early reports...

The only reason to upgrade...

You don't own or like the S22U or S22U so why are you such an expert on whether they are good. Unless you actually use one for a few days you have no objective view of how good the phones are. Why not stop ragging on the phone and go talk about your phone with other owners and be a positive person today?

I don't care about the charging I leave it over night. My S22U last 1.5 days for me. It has never been hot and it takes great photos which is the one thing I want it to do well.

I understand that Samsung hurt you when they dropped the SD Card slot and you feel rejected by them as they continue to ignore your posts about how bad Samsung is but maybe it's time to move on. They've changed and they are not the manufacturer you had hoped to be with long term. There are plenty more phones in the sea that you could have a meaningful connected life with just let go and open yourself to new phones. Maybe there's one out there with an SD Card slot that is just right for you!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Joloxx9:
To be honest, that's terrible. But I have noticed that samsung quick chargin is nothing when you compare it to xiaomi or oneplus.

Anyway I can see that this phone is a "mistake" and their first chip made with AMD is somehow failure.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Abaddon:
I have the s21 ultra SD but only 12/128 from Tmo, ordered the S22u 256 because I need more storage and since I need another phone.

If it weren't for Samsung's very generous credit for trade-in value I think this device would really tank.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra review: Reintroducing the Galaxy Note

It's Samsung's most popular new phone for a reason.

www.androidcentral.com

"According to the rundown test results — a lab-test from our parent company, Future — at 60Hz, the Galaxy S21 Ultra lasted a very pleasant 11 hours, 25 minutes from full charge to empty battery. However, using the same test, the Galaxy S22 Ultra could only stay alive for 8 hours, 50 minutes."

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dutch_in_seattle:
I had been considering upgrading from my S21 Ultra (U.S. 12/256) to the S22 Ultra because I can upgrade to the S22 Ultra through work for basically the money I'd be able to sell my S21 Ultra for, making it essentially free, but I probably won't.

My current S21 Ultra is unlocked (U1), coming straight from Samsung, whereas the S22 Ultra is locked to AT&T. I don't know how quick AT&T is with their Android updates, but the unlocked S21 Ultra has been stellar in this respect.

I don't care at all about the integrated S-Pen in the S22 Ultra. I'd never use it. If anything, it just takes away valuable space for more battery capacity. If I would have wanted an S-Pen, I would have bought a Note before.

I'm not a fan of the boxy, Note-like design of the S22 Ultra. I really prefer to rounder S21 Ultra contours.

I don't think the other upgrades in the camera and the like are such that I feel the need to upgrade.

I've been very happy with my S21 Ultra. Android 12 has been running very smoothly on my phone, without any issues.

I'll probably wait till the S23 Ultra or perhaps Pixel 7 Pro, or maybe even iPhone 14 Pro Max. For now, though, I'll happily hang on to my S21 Ultra.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] burnxtc:
Very well said and agreed on all points. Very tempted to try 12 again but I'm getting such killer battery life on a tweaked 11...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] termdj:
Just some feedback...Was semi forced to take the S22U...My wife cracked the screen of her S20+. Repair costs are to high and we don't have the once off money to pay for the repair. I got a good deal on a S22U. So, I will give my S21U to her and have the S22U when it finally arrives....

Hello all, I have been trying multiple different avenues to achieve the best quality video or raw video streams and would like to share what I have found and open up a discussion for anything that could lead to kernel/magisk/isp pipeline mods that could benefit us all. Here are some apps and resources that I have found to be the best. The max encoding bitrate that I can achieve with avc/hevc is around 160mbps regardless.

Ultracorder

Very good video app, can change api in app settings, paid app, but you can find mod version easily.

FreedCam

Superb advanced settings, alot of features and tweaks, everyone should have this cam. Bayer and dng capabilities

GitHub - KillerInk/FreeDcam: FreeDcam is a CameraApp for Android >4.0(ics) wich try to enable stuff that is forgotten by the manufacturs

github.com

Newest GCAM can give 100mbps video bitrate but I prefer other apps due to lack of settings but good for the average user

Raw video and camera capture, still in testing phase but works ridiculously good, this is one of my favorite apps, and has alot more potential

GitHub - mirsadm/motioncam: Motion Cam is a camera application for Android that replaces the entire camera pipeline. It consumes RAW images and uses computational photography to combine multiple images to reduce noise.

Some questions I have are that would increasing frame buffer allow for higher video Bitstream bandwidth?

Also why or how is Qualcomm Spectra 380 shutter lag limited to 30hz and could this possibly be modified?

Could the Video Front End pixel clock or other settings be modified to achieve better quality?

Would gstreamer be good for something like this? Hence these links..

This is NOT a warez question.

My last post was deleted by the moderator Gsleon3 with this reason, (see below).

I think that the question is totaly in order and Im sending the same message as I sent to Navngo.

Hi,

I recently bought my self a new phone with built in GPS, (SonyEricsson Xperia).

I have had TomTom for years on my phones before but was really disappointed by their way of handling longtime customers regarding the possibilities to upgrade maps or the program. I was told to upgrade to a price the same as buying a new licens which I think is very unthankful when I have been a customer for 5 years and upgraded two times before.

I have read a lot of good reviews on the web about your product iGO8 and would like to know if it’s possible to run it on the WVGA resolution of my new Xperia.

Please let me know because I want to buy a navigation program as soon as possible.

I have seen sites regarding changing skins for iGO, if I buy the software, would that mean that I’m not allowed to modify the look of the program?

Best regards,

Miki

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being as this is an issue only on CRACKED & HACKED versions of NavNGo IGo8, your thread has been removed. We do NOT tolertate warez or piracy here at XDA-Developers. Warez or Piracy related posts are grounds for review & usually result in a one week or greater ban, even for first offenses.

This is a warning. Do NOT discuss warez related versions, hacks, fixes, etc... on XDA. Go elsewhere for that. You are probably asking your question here because the site you got your warez version from is shut down. Well guess what? It is shut down thanks to NavNgo & Igo8.
[XPERIA X1 General] NEO130:
Where is the problem. Shure, you can run IGO8 on Xperia. You have a Card Slot and you can run IGO8 with the original skin. If you not like it, you find many skins in the web. Good luck for buy.
[XPERIA X1 General] mikiqtek:
Well the problem is, that according to Navngos site, they dont support WVGA and they havnt listed Xperia as a supported model. This doesnt have to mean that it wont work. But I dont want to buy a program that doesnt work.

I have read about people making it possible to use 800x480 skins.

The only thing I want to know is, does it work with 800x480 and Navngos standard skin.

When you write, "sure, you can run iGo8 on the xperia", does that mean that you have done so or are your only saying so because the xperia has a card slot?

/Miki
[XPERIA X1 General] NEO130:
You can run IGO8 on PC to, why not run on Xperia. I told you, that you have many skins for this sulution, but I have no Xperia, that you can trust me to 100%.
[XPERIA X1 General] mikiqtek:
Im sorry Neo130, but why do you even bother to write anything here when you clearly dont own a Xperia. I get the impression that your experiance with WM devices are very poor when you compare the xperia with a regular PC. I also thought I made it clear that my question was if it was possible to use the standard skin. Im not intrested in other skins. The only reason to look at other skins would be to modify the 640x480 skin to be a 800x480 skin if the Navngo dont have a 800x480 skin.

If you have information regarding a WVGA skin that looks like the standard then please let me know.

I havent got any answer from Navngo yet. I havent got any answer from this forum that the standard skin works. So right now it looks like I will have to look for another Nav program. I wont be buying a software where I will have to make a skin by my self and then hassle with getting it to work. If I know there is a WVGA skin just like the original and that it aint hard to make it work, then maybe Ill buy the program but for now Ill wait.

If any one out there has another nav.program that you like and that works on the Xperia, (not TomTom), please let me know.

hi,

Yesterday was an post wich was deleted becaus of moderathor thoth that it was discusion abaut hacked programs.

the thtead abaut tomtom survived. install tomtom and download free map to test the programm.that is tomtom option.

igo8 has also trial .and skins are free. just download , rename data.zip and place in igo folder.

I think the thred was delated because there was link for skin for igo to page where YOu can download also cracked progs.

anyway Ill try to get igo working on x1 sense it was reported to work.

and let YOu know whot is whot.

and for information I personaly dont like Igo8. I have miomap c520 and I think miomap 3.3 has better interface.I dont need hauses on map, like igo 8 has.
[XPERIA X1 General] arnisv:
buy igo 8 and find in google skin with 400_240

then rename it to data.zip place in igo 8 directory.

then edit sys in program folder. not sdcard.so it stands like this
