And then

For the last three year I've always hoped to find a device with this kind of dimension , best fit for my not so small hands.

So the Blackstone not only fits but also is very rich with features.

Incredible screen ( resolution but also screensensibility ) , built quality , desing , a-gps ,3g and so on and on ....

It's not cheap tough , and for that price you should at least expect to receive a cleanig cloutch The biggest problem using this kind of phone is they all became dirty in a second.

So what's the problem here.

The imitation rarely prevail on the original.And that is here also the case.

The Blackstone is in almost every aspect a better phone , but there where it counts the I... is in another league ; Looks , price , originality , touch technology , easy in use ( hardware and software ) and most of all " must have "

I'm still having the HTC (and this for a week now ) because of Windows Mobile and its versatility. I like tweaking my phone , I like Looking for the best solution and read forums like this , I like to personalize it to my ultimate needs.

My conclusion:

Because of their similar dimensions we tend to compare those two phones ,

and that's wrong.They are both perfect (until the next generation )in their purpose .

But don't forget this . One a the reasons not to buy this Blackstone , is because you want to show of.So Think of the day in a nearby future where at a party everyone will have a Iphone . Is that a nightmare or your nightmare.

Don't want to go back to an old argument but...

Link doesn't work!

Can you find a link that compares the iPhone camera to the N95 please? Or any other 5MP camera with autofocus and a flash in low lit areas. Thanks.

Erm...I still don't get what point you're trying to make. I said that it's a gimmick on a device of this size.

That's your problem!

I'm not a big games player on my mobile and even if I was I'd likely find games that used the touch and accelarometer features of the phone. I have a tytn (which is actually gathering dust because my N95 offers more convenience -camera, built-in GPS, 3.5mm jack) and I rarely used the d-pad when I was using it.
[Touch HD General] cytomatrix:
Yet, you are here, on a windows mobile forum. :)

I got htc touch hd and its amazing. Its UI is not great as iPhone. You cant pinch or zoom like iphone. But its touch screen is alot responsive than the previous devices. Touch flo is smooth. Everything looks sharp and shiny. No annoying D-pad \o/. I hated D pad or any other hardware buttons on touch mobiles. D-pads are waste of space imo.

I have been using blackstone for a 4-5 days, and I never had to use stylus to do anything. I even digged deep into windows mobile. 5MP camera works great in well-lit environment.

It might not be the best phone ever. But its bloody good winmo.
[Touch HD General] ryaninuk:
Thousands of quality apps???? Really, thousands??? I love my iPhone and the app store but there is like a dozen good apps and thousands of tip calculators and cheesy to do lists. I don't disagree with most of your points but this is a gross exaggeration.
[Touch HD General] fallenczar:
1)the link works, just checked it.

2)Can you point me to a link where any WM devices camera has been compared with any of the Nokia's camera and the former has not had its ass royally whooped by the latter.

the point being that there is very little to choose from between the iPhones camera and the HD's when it comes to PQ.

3)Well, A majority of people think that a touch screen in itself is a gimmick, so yeah multitouch too is a gimick

4)there is just one game in WM that uses accelerometer, and that too is still under development.

and if you still think that lack of D-pad is not a big issue, then just look at the No. of threads here discussing the same.

And for the record, i have no regret in having called you what i did.
[Touch HD General] Graeme:
Ditto, I never use the d pad on mine either. And the keyboard looks like new, it's only been used since the virtual keyboard gave up the ghost(no idea why, different roms have failed to fix it).

If the HD turns out to be just a slimmer Tytn with a bigger screen I'll be like a dog with two tails. My guess is it's going to be so much more though.

Roll on next Tuesday.
[Touch HD General] robnil:
hi there sorry for interupting :)

why do you keep talking about apple in this thread? im not interested in what their phone can do or cannot do. Lets talk about the HD.

So.. this is my thoughts. The diamond was a bombshell. Small, slick and finaly a responsive interface. But wait.. no card-expansion? wtf? Also as a wizard-user I guess I would miss the keyboard. I use the keyboad A LOT. (mainly bacause its almost impossible to write on the wiz w/o it).

Then the raphael arrives just when all the early-adopters emptied their pockets on the diamond. Great I though, this is the one. Im just affraid of the size. My ol' wiz with double-battery is quite large hehe. Just when I had the chance to finger on the raphael this HD arrives...

This one seem to have it all. Except a keyboad....

Apple-people (wops the compare sorry) complains about the keyboard, so how about this one? Can you really write a serious email in a professional situation (actualy use the phone not as a toy). Now I mean a real letter. With the wiz this is no problem at al. And with exchange its a glance.

So WHAT ABOUT THE V.KEYBOARD my friends?

Umm and about the camera... as a serious hoby-photographer.. why do you even care to mension it? Megapixels is irrelevant. Its about the size of the sensor to get rid of noice, and the lenses. I bet next phone has 10 mp but who cares. Even with a semipro slr as the canon 30d with 8.2 mp sensor you cannot really use that resolution except with high quality L-grade lenses and perfect focus. Now we talk lenses in pricerange 1000 usb and up.

The flash? What? Did you say flash? Its a flashlight. I use the wiz led-"flash" as a flashlight in the dark and IT IS GREAT! So i think i would miss the led-light sometimes.

Games is completly irrelevant to me. I tried a lot of cool games on the wiz. 3 (or was it?) years ago I impressed friends with playing quake on the phone. Very cool, for about 2 mins. Games in train to me is tic-tac-toe-ish games hehe. Thats how boring i am.

About the gps, accoring to the threads in here it looks like this can actually be used as a real navigator. Good.

About the stylus, why are you all so hooked on not using the stylus? Its like an infection have invaded you all. I remember the good old palmpilot when everyone wanted a stylus. It is there, use it! For making calls you wanna use thumbs, but for pda then be glad for the existence. The apple-screen cannot (have I heard) use a stylus what-so-ever. That is a pity.

The d-pad, i am pretty sure we all will miss this one. I think HTC urges to make a non-button-phone just for the sake of it. Pity, but the size can ofcource be smaller w/o hardware-buttons.

Price seem to be very near what i payed for the wizard. Expensive yes but fair enough.

Have fun!

By the wiz is very cool with wm61 and the toughflo-3d clone vanilla :)

Works incredibly well, and believe it or not its very responsive on that ol 195 mhz...
[Touch HD General] vicsingh71:
hey leek,

great post and great to see that you are in the usa which leads me to ask you some questions which would be great if you can answer. im here in LA and very much considering this phone. as of now i have the htc touch. i see you are using T-mobile for the htc touch hd if im not mistaken by your profile. i was told by htc that i can only use it w/ At&t. im guessing they were wrong?? most importantly, how is the speed of the internet w/o having 3G? is t-mobile pretty good compared to the EDGE network w/ AT&T?? obviously, you sacrificed that part of the phone and still bought it but im not sure how much is compromised when it comes to internet speeds. basiclly, im asking all this bc i would love to have 3G and thats why im thinking about getting the SONY Xperia 1a that came out and will offer 3G w/AT&T service. but i really love the beautiful 3.8 display.

if anyone else also can give me input on this great dilemma of mine, that would be great. at the moment, i use sprint and of course its CDMA and not GSM. but im willing to change for either of these 2 phones but not sure which one to get b/n the two. and no i dont want the iphone just in case someone recommends that. ive been a WM user for long time now and wont change that.

so plz help me guys....3G w/ sony xperia or no 3G w/touch HD??? would any of you guys out there buy the phone and sacrifice the 3G??:confused:

thanks a bunch.
[Touch HD General] sk806:
I am currently using the US 3G Diamond, and I am getting an HD tomorrow (unless FedEx screws up). I have realized that I just don't use 3G that much. I use my device for email, music, ebooks, checking sports scores/cnn mobile if I am reallly bored, texting, and flashing new ROMs/tweaking.

Also, I am in NYC and the 3G coverage is spotty and always seems to flip to Edge anyway, so I use WiFi if I really need to browse/download something quickly. This is, of course, just me, and use varies dramatically. If I needed to tether, no 3G would be a deal breaker.

I saw the Xperia at the MCO store recently, looks nice, but I really do not like the slide-out keyboard thing (on HTC devices either), and I am a sucker for HTC phones. Besides, more than half of the fun for me is the ROM cooking, etc. that goes on in these forums (I understand that there is an Xperia forum herenow, though, hmmmm...).

I have turned off my 3G today to see what. if anything, I will be missing. SO far, nothing. I am glad I bought the HD, and, there is always eBay...

Anyway, just one man's humble opinion.
[Touch HD General] dogbreath:
I must say, i've been floundering around with Viewty this and Samsung that, none of them came anywhere near my tytn wih a good cooked Rom. I've had my HD for one full day now and love it...screen looks sharper than the iphone side by side and i love the improved apps on wm (tomtom, igo, Office) and the communiyt tooo...in short i'm glad i'm back to WM, coming on xda...com and fixing all the quirks with community apps and tricks...much more phone, and no bloody itunes!

Your case is not so special. Flash lineage.microg.org zip
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] prot0byte:
Thank you for your response @kurtn. So I guess you are saying, I do in fact need to flash. Correct? And I don't need to uninstall the microg settings app? Also, do I need to prepare for backing up and saving my personal data even though their documentation says it can't carry it over? And I don't need to wait for the next version even though there documentation says I do? I'm sorry for the newbie questions. I just want to make sure my assumptions are correct. TY
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] prot0byte:
I just fixed my issue, and tested pretty much everything. It all seems to be fixed and working as expected. I will answer my question in case it helps someone else.

1. Do I actually need to do this for my specific case? Yes

2. For my specific case, is there anything specific in which their official instructions might not cover. No, not really.

I waited for a newer release before flashing the microG version of LineageOS. I'm not sure if it was required or not. But since their official documentation said to, I did. Then I followed their official instructions, and everything worked flawlessly. I've tested all apps and services; phone calls, texts, etc. It all seems to be working just fine.

@kurtn was not wrong. All I needed to do was flash the microG version of LineageOS. But since I was hesitant, and wanted confirmation specifically a few details like; Do I need to backup personal data? Do I need to wait for the next release? etc. I held off on attempting it.

Hopefully that helps someone.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ME20001:
Hi.

I want to ask, if theres any way, to get the phone to just save the RAW Sensor output with 108MP without compressing or altering

the image in any way?

I also ask myself already all the time, why the 108MP setting is only possible in the stock camera app.

If you use for example open camera, its not possible to set a resolution bigger than 12MP. Is this a error, or why does

this happen?

Regards
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
The 108 mp is hype. The top Canon pro cam is 24.1 mp on a sensor many times bigger. It delivers much sharper, higher resolution images than any smartphone can. It also uses lens that have exponentially more light gathering ability.

Bigger pixels mean more light gathering ability and a higher signal to noise ratio. The noise floor is constant and you need a strong enough signal to overcome it even in digital data sampling.

The highest reasonable mp size for a phone cam sersor is 20mp but 12mp is probably ideal. Sound familiar?

At 108mp that sensor's light gathering ability is almost nothing especially with a lense that size.

Maybe in bright light stills but even then it may lack the bandwidth and processor power to accommodate that amount of data.

How many raw 108 mp images would you even want to store if it was possible?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
If you are on stock MIUI, there's the possibility to make 108 but if you compare with a gcam app like Shamim V12 you'll see that the 108 of MIUI is not as good as gcam pixel binning, further more more storage is needed
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
They had been far better off using larger pixels with better microlense quality/design than doing the binning garbage. Binning only screws up the signal to noise ratio more by increasing the noise floor. A smartphone is already a warm, electronicly noisy device as it is... the enemies of cmos sensors.

Binning is effective to a point at the cost of resolution for low light performance. 108mp binning on a sensor of the size used on smartphones seems counterproductive. Binning can introduce artifacts to the image.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ME20001:
Yes yes yes, I know about the disadvntages of this high resolution, I am into DSLR photography,

but I want to see how the RAW picture from the sensor at full resolution the sensor can deliver looks.

It seems to be impossible to get on a real RAW photo on Stock MIUI ROM?

(I Want to install another ROM anyways, but still waiting for bootloader unlock permission)

Do you have a rom to suggest, that is able to make real 108MP RAW photos, and probably 8k Video (The sensor A Samsung

Isocell HM2 supports that, the ROM doesnt)
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
You're right.

But 108 stock isn't good as 12 in gcam, or what you think?

Which cam and settings you're using?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ME20001:
GCAM Doesnt allow 108MP, the stock camera APP seems to be the only one that allows 108, but only as JPG, not

as RAW10 the sensor can output native.

I want to see, how a photo in 108MP looks straight out of the sensor, but it seems not that easy to get

your hnds on one, without the device modifies it before...
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
Don't have this phone. It's likely optimized at or near the best ratio.

At higher brightness levels and if digitally zoomed in it may deliver higher resolution (for that given area).

It's seems these manufacturers now have a rather pointless pixel race in progress.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ME20001:
So to say it short: No one here knows how to get RAW 108MP Photos out of the sensor?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
No such thing is my guess. The hardware has to support that method of output. The best you can do is whatever the lowest binning rate is. If has provisions to access individual pixels on a hardware level it be possible.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] ME20001:
The Hardware (Sensor) can do RAW 10 at full 108MP resolution, see here:

108MP ISOCELL HM2 | Mobile Image Sensor | Samsung Semiconductor Global

Samsung ISOCELL HM2 mobile image sensor brings every detail of your scene to life. It delivers 108MP, 0.7um pixel size and Real-time HDR.

semiconductor.samsung.com

It also can record at 8k 24fps or 4k 120fps, but the device doesnt allow 8k at all, and 4k recording only at 30fps...

It seems that they have locked down the software, for what reason ever, probably because its a mid class phone, to prevent

it come too near to the upper class devices...

Its camera also makes already very good photos, if you know what you have to set in the settings. I really would

like to see how this would look in 10Bits uncompressed RAW at 108MP, I tried to upload here one of the 108MP JPG Photos,

but it broke the forum:

View attachment 5573081

Heres a Dropbox Link for the Picture:

Dropbox

www.dropbox.com

Best is to download it and then take a look on it, the Previev on Dropbox seems to have some issues to handle that resolution.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] nosidamXumres:
affirmative it's possible as of today, previously the sensors full potential wasn't accessible due to the extensive os and system feature lock downs but even after the phones themselves were capable of being unlocked the sensor still remained unavailable because it has it's own dedicated chipset that has a dedicated partial operation and algorithm system which meant that it couldn't be modified or accessed unless you had very specialized equipment. there's a lot of technical complexity that i've forgoed elaborating upon to keep this response less lengthy lol, at any rate after roughly a year of effort i've finally found a way to bypass all of the restrictions and i'll be potentially publishing the results of the code named C.I.A.R.A. project once my tests are complete and furthermore i may be able to make such feature functionality commercially available and distributable once the project has been thoroughly and fully completed in all of it's entirely lol.

^_^
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA.

Pictures or it never happened.

The individual pixels are so minuscule their sampling capture is pathetic and is further exacerbated by the noise floor/noise cancellation errors. Good pixel lens at this microscopic size... no such thing especially at this price point.

A good 26mp even 20mp sensor can capture a sufficient amount of detail for even poster size blowups. These are full frame sensors with precision pixel lens.

Samsung knows this... you'll get a mushy raw image with a hugh file size. Perfect.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] nosidamXumres:
that's a bit of an impolite thing to say although rest assured once it's finished i'll have to find a platform to upload it to so that it can be accessed and viewed without compression, one individual recommended google photos or documents or something like that lol and indeed i usually enjoy the benefits of high resolution capture for forest and nature based photography as of such i usually utilize it during the daytime so the pixel light collection area size isn't a concern for me personally lol also affirmativ the standardized twelve to twenty four megapixel resolution of most modern camera's likely work for the majority of individuals lol.

^_^
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] blackhawk:
Not impolite, blunt.

I don't think it's capable of much greater resolution than it's getting as is.

Grabbing a good sample per pixel is more important than number of pixels.

16mp is a lot.

As is the file size you're going to get with a raw...
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] NEWTINGZ:
We look forward to your project.

So the code , I take it directly interfaces with the camera or not ?

any elaborations there ?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] nosidamXumres:
affirmative that is correct traditionally the only information that comes from specifically the one hundred and eight megapixel sensor with moderate exceptions to the others is the data that has been processed by it's onboard algorithm to compress and save space with and roughly the only information going to that sensors chipset is traditionally update and diagnostic information but now that's been technically bypassed utilizing a code and language that unfortunately can only be emulated which makes it very inefficient because it was designed for completely different custom hardware but nonetheless the project is complete, where can i find a compressionless platform to upload and share my photos? also the image's on average are roughly almost a hundred and fifty megabytes including various metadata lol.

You can create a new thread for the development of the project you have made and store the images in a .zip file and share the file with dropbox, gdrive or mega etc.

(Remember to attach the code, and some information about it in the thread you make.)

Hopefully, you'll make the new project available to the public soon.

If you want help, there are many individuals on the internet, you don't need to disclose the language used or anything confidential.

All you need to do, is explain the concept of how you made it possible, and probably there will be someone who'll come for the rescue.

one more suggestion -

you can open a github repo, and add the code which you are trying to make (the latest one), there might be someone who could help....

(ty for mentioning me, it's fine ^_^)

also, both communities of rn10pro and s21_ultra can help you, just gotta mention the working and goal of your idea, and it'll work.
