[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] blackhawk:
The full size Canon sensor in their top line pro shooter is less than 23 mp. It will out shoot any smart phone image quality wise. That actually a very large full frame and densely packed sensor with tremendous light gathering ability.

At some point the mp count becomes hype rather than an useful feature. 12 mp is a much more reasonable size for this sensor's form factor. The ability to form precision micro lens drops with size. They've already exceeded this critical factor. That's one reason a pro shooter can grab a better high resolution image.

Bottom line is you buy a smartphone for it's overall performance not just it's cam specs. With no expandable storage a smartphone that produces huge jpeg and raw files you will quickly eat up the internal storage capacity even with 500gb. A quality 12mp sensor can produce excellent images and is likely still the optimum size for the sensor form factor found in smartphones. When you see that being exceeded by a factor of 2, 5, 10x you have to wonder wtf is the designer's goal really was. Was it just mp bragging rights?
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Amazon96:
based on sample pics that ive seen in gsmarena heavy processing regarding noise reduction and sharpening, is ruining the quality, especially in telephoto samples.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
@blackhawk Well you have to put this into perspective.

Can a small device like a smartphone hold up against a full frame sensor paired with good quality glass then the answer is now.

But if you comare a moder flagship samrphone with a high end SoC with a midrange device from a few years ago costing less than half the price than you can draw a baseline.

This baseline for me is the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 with its 108MP sensor producing very detailed 27MP RAW images with more than enough dynamic range. Especially when originated from GCam as stacked DNGs.

Why not give the users the opportunity to use the 4x4 binning as well as the 2x2?

You are right megapixel are not everything but details in an image is one of the main criterias besides color. 12.5MP are not enough im my opinion. Not if you want to crop now and then. Smartphone manufacturer have not been able to figure out the sweet spot yet and that is between 24 and 50MP. Modern hardware can easily handle that. MotionCam showed that a 4K DNG stream of 30-60fps in form of MotionDNG is possible so why not 50MP RAW images? This does not have to be the every day cost but at least there should be the opportunity.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
More evidence here that a downscaled 200MP image (from the same device) looks way better than the 50MP output (the scene with the rails).

The downscaled image shows a much more natural look and the 50Mp the typical plasic look that looks like a rendered image from a computer game.

When Motorola is able to present the same result for the 50MP right out of the box this would be a big step forward in smartphone photography (for all that don't want to play with RAW/DNG).
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wolf.88:
In what program do ypu donwnscaled it ? I seams that gcam can make even better pics
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
I simply use IrfanView with these settings

Problem with GCam is that even if you get RAW your details with a 12.5 RAW image are also very limited. Not like the 27MP from my Xiaomi Mi Note 10.

As long as the Edge 30 Ultra does not grants access to the 2x2 binned 50MP RAW images GCam or ProShot can not create what is not there and this are details from existing pixels.

So the 50MP downscaled 200MP images are superior to the developed 12.5MP RAW is respect to details.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
Here a sample of the level of details that is possible

For comparison a developed RAW image
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wolf.88:
Do you have any photo shoot with gcam ?
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
More samples of 200MP images reduced by half of the resolution

Images are color corrected as the Edge 30 Ultras color science is not my favourite one

[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wolf.88:
Thank you for your work man. When i look your scaled down photos of 36 mpx its sweet spot , to me it looks better than any phone in terms of detail, and color im blow away by results.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] Wolf.88:
Try this Gcam, it outputs 50 mpx and its much better than stock
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
Thank you very much for the tip.

But in my opinion the output looks really awful: sample

In terms of color an detail rendering. Looks more than an upscale than a real 50MP image and the RAW files are still 12.5MP. So I doubt that this GCam version has access to the 50MP image surface.

A look into the settings shows that upscaling with a factor 2.0x is active. So no real pixel.

The developer of the great photo app ProShot is in touch with Motorola to get access to the 50MP image plane in RAW so that 3rd party creators like him can get much more out of the hardware that Motorola is capable of.

I am corious if Xiaomi with their 12T Pro that uses the same 200MP sesor is able to do better.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
A few days ago I received the version 1.21.2 of the Camera Tuner 4 via Google Play Store.

The update notes stated some image and video improvements.

Until now for the Edge 30 Ultra not to many seem to have received this update.

Still a 200MP downscale looks way better than the 12.5MP right out of the phone.

Look at the grass in this sample

This also applies for the 50MP images.

They do not look bad at all until you see the 200MP downscale as a comparison.

Here some other stuff after the update:

Collection of 200 to 50 megapixel downscales

Collection of 50MP right out of the phone (same motives)
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] AJ732101:
Also in low light the 200MP downscale outperforms the 12.5 content frm the phone by far

[Touch HD General] dcoales:
Is there an easy way to change the screen brightness. I keep mine set to minimum all the time to conserve power but when I go outside sometimes I can't see the screen due to reflection. Turning up the brightness obviously helps but the snag is I can't see the screen to hit the right menu options to turn it up.

I have spb mobile shell installed but the screen brightness button on that has no effect. I also tried mapping the volume rocker to screen brightness using AEButton plus but that didn't do anything either.

Has anyone come across a quick way of doing this on the HD?

[Android Auto General] James C:
Hey guys,

I've never had a touchscreen in a vehicle, other than a phone in a mount.

Researching options, and making a list of what I've found so far. Some ideas on how I could use custom systems, and hopefully some guidance from those who've been there, or know of options I've missed in my search engine hunt.

Think I might start with a Raspberry Pi and/or RockPi x86 board in a retail RPi touch enclosure, mounted in a car tablet mount. Going to test OpenDash, OpenAuto, i-Carus, Crankshaft board images.

Definitely a project to undertake, and want to use harness adapters and fascia plates so that when I change vehicles, I can just unplug, put factory system back, take my Linux box with me, put old harness & plate on ebay, and get new ones for a different vehicle.

The alternative to a Linux box will be to get a Head Unit from Atoto, Dasaita, Joying, Xtrons, Eonon, or some outfit like Phoenix Automotive. Then put a Hal9K or Malaysk ROM on it if I what longer term updates, and tweaks.

Going that route, probably Android 12 4gb/64gb, minimum. 7-13 inch screens. Some options there that are likely vehicle and ergonomic dependent.

Anyway, going to start with a phone mount for a stylus phone, a figure something out from there.

No purchase decisions made yet on double din mount unit, and open to options or advice.
[Android Auto General] marchnz:
None of these are Android Auto. The horrible hacks from hal and Mal are modded roms but not Android auto either.
[Android Auto General] James C:
From my understanding, Android Auto syncs and mirrors information to and from a paired Android phone.

Haven't tested anything yet, and the software links I posted are mostly what I assume to be Raspbian/Debian that boot into a version of those features.

Really not that interested in tinkering stereos, and just want a dedicated and versatile touchscreen device in vehicle.

Was just looking at swing out dash monitor mounts for vehicles. Could use anything with Vesa mount. Probably Fedora/Red Hat with Android X86 rpm install for qemu and dual boot option.

https://www.l-trondirect.com/Havis/C-DMM-120

Will have two modes basically, driving and parked mobile office.
[Android Auto General] James C:
My Linux Touchscreen for vehicles can basically be implemented as an addition to any existing console infotainment system, via a dash swing mount, a floor mount, or seat desk for laptops, tablets, etc.

Question is what Android Auto option is the bottom line for cost, performance, and stability. Also, what AA options are worth spending extra for?

I've seen factory upgrade kits to add Android Auto to older in dash Navigation systems without that feature, starting around $700. Worth it, or better spent on other options?
[Android Auto General] James C:
Just began looking at options from Alpine, JVC, etc. I guess the lowest cost, stable performance option would be a Bluetooth connection to a simple audio receiver offered by real Trademarked Brands in the market place, $100.

Some Android Auto options from the name brands, ranging in cost from $250-$1000+.

Backup camera and DVR for safety and insurance purposes is smart.

Are there any comparisons between the name brand AA options and the Chinese factory AA options?

So far, I've seen some Chinese AA HU brands ranging in price from $50-$550, not including units for specific vehicle trims to accommodate extra large screens. Haven't seen any name brand kit options for specific vehicle trims so far.
[Android Auto General] James C:
Actually want to revise earlier statement, that lowest cost, stable in car Android option is a $100 Name brand Bluetooth Dash unit.

Lowest cost, stable, performance, phone-only option, keeping factory equipment would be a Bluetooth Aux/Cassette/Radio adapter, a dash/vent clip magnetic qi charger, and a case/clamp/sticker with metal plate.

Qi adapter for phones without. That, and adding a Backup cam DVR Rearview mirror unit.

This for old models, and newer trims without navigation or backup camera.

While reviewing this I saw a 7" Binize w/AA for $52, and a dash kit for $12. Cost is about on par with phone only, no cables to plugin option. The Binize comes with a backup cam according to product picture. So, some savings there. Performance comparison is likely another story.
[Android Auto General] James C:
Think I'm going with a Havis monitor mount for an older Ford with a standard double din radio without weird custom fascia plates I would either need to cut into, remake, or order kit for.

May replace factory radio with a 7 inch Chinese unit that has Android Auto features, and has a compatible Rockchip processor for running one of the roms available here.

The AA double din unit will be setting behind the Havis Vesa 75 swing monitor mount, which I'll attach a 13.3 inch Vesa mount Touchscreen monitor, connected to an old Lenovo ThinkCenter probably installed under a seat or somewhere similar. A Lenovo USFF with enough ram to run Windows subsystem for Android, and WSLinux for starters. Will run on rechargable battery bank, and will have to figure out USB gps, glonass antennas for PC. Will begin there, and move to Linux once I figure out hardware that works for everything I need. OpenDash for AA Linux/Windows purposes. Everything else I'm working on is basically a separate mobile office project.

Will either use Aux or Bluetooth to interface PC system into car audio system. Factory or Aftermarket stereo system will be used as needed as 13" touchscreen will need to be unlocked and "opened" to access manual or touch controls. Probably set it and forget it, mostly while tinkering with PC option.
[Android Auto General] James C:
Found this adapter for name brand aftermarket options, Maestro. https://www.idatalinkmaestro.com/en/compatible-products/all

Rather than go for a Chinese Android Head Unit, I'll just stick to factory or name brands supported by Maestro.

Will just mirror any apps I want to use from phone, if unsupported by Android Auto. Say a Lottery.apk for the state lotto. I find driving a good opportunity to sense lucky numbers and make picks, personally.

Will see how that works out before investigating further options. Namely, the expensive Chinese Android Head Units, and pole/dash mounts for tablet docks used in police vehicles.
[Android Auto General] James C:
For inexpensive head units, Atoto seems a good choice. F7 Linux based, S8 Android 10 based.

Lots of various configurations of each, from 7"-10" displays, single or double din enclosures.

Haven't decided on F7 or S8 yet, but I do know I want a single din with floating display that will work in a tractor or older vehicle without the built-in infotainment and navigation features newer vehicles offer.

Still going namebrand with maestro for newer vehicles.

Laptop and tablet dock mounts should work with either via Aux or Bluetooth.

Might do away with phone altogether, and try a watch phone instead, since I'll be packing along both a dash "tablet" and a 12" PC.

New models of watch phones are kind of on standby I hear, due to their chip supply chain drying up since COVID.

In any case, will try and Android 10+ watch phone with a head unit that supports wireless Android Auto.

Found this with watch phone firmware. https://fullandroidwatch.org/
[Android Auto General] James C:
Think my final solution for a vehicle Linux box, will be a single din head unit with an HDMI input attached to a Raspberry Pi or similar SBC. Stowing the board into the empty slot on a Metra dash kit. Head unit also supports Android Auto and Screen Mirroring. Will likely use a wireless TV keyboard/gamepad to tinker with Linux SBC for certain use cases. Maybe just Velcro Linux SBC and accessories in Metra slot, for easy removal to take indoors as required.

Umm.. Will figure it out, and test the Pi images posted earlier.
[Android Auto General] James C:
American made vehicles are better supported by idatalink Maestro adapters.

iDatalink Maestro

www.idatalinkmaestro.com

The Chinese Factory brands better support Asian designs with their own wiring harness adapters to retain all vehicle sensor features.

There are exceptions, and Metra is a resource to investigate.

Going Ford, Lincoln, Mazda. Alpine, JVC or whichever Chinese factory brand offers a suitable dash kit and harness adapter.. Long story short.

I've tried to wipe this phone, I've tried to wipe the cache in recovery mode (its stock everything, stock recovery, stock operating system, and unrooted, and the bootloader is still locked) so I'm thinking it is a software malfunction, but I'm not 100% sure, because it sometimes registure as I touch somewhere else than I press, keep in mind (THIS IS WITHOUT S PEN) I would love if someone could help me to fix this issue, thank you soo very much if you want a video I can add a link to my google drive, where I can show you the issue

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache then go into safe mode and check it again.

If it's not hardware, software and you did a factory reset (tested right after reset with nothing loaded*) it may be the firmware is corrupted, reflash to same version. This almost never happens, possibility of a rootkit**. If a reflash fails to fix it is hardware either the display or mobo.

*if you used SmartSwitch, factory reset again without using SmartSwitch. If it's working after that, hand load with care...

**Android 8 and lower are suspectable to the worm X-Helper. It can evade removal by worming out of the user partition. It's a nasty one. There's methods to remove it now without reflashing I believe.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nlellis8:
My Galaxy Note 9 started doing the same thing 4 months ago. Some days it actually seems like its fixed but I mostly use the S-Pen instead. Its very inconvenient. I tried the safemode and I posted a few days ago in this forum asking about if I had to match the same base version. I was thinking about rooting it to see if that may fix the issue. Let me know how you make out. I can let you know if rooting the phone fixes mine. I sill need to figure out how to root mine because it is an AT&T phone from USA and seems the base version that is on mine is not all that popular based on m trying to find the matching base version firmware. Either way if you haven't figured out a fix for your by time I do the surgery on mine I will give you heads up on my success or failure to fix the screen issue.
