i dont how to do that...
[Samsung Galaxy A73 5G] tb12411:
help??
[Samsung Galaxy A73 5G] Cockat0o:
That's because A73 uses F2Fs for vendor and system instead of ext4 I think you should try modifying it in twrp if you have rw in twrp if not I'm hoping to post a rom soon that's ext4 for both system and vendor it works fine but currently trying to get rid of encryption first before I start with roms

We are looking forward to your results for A73 with great impatience

Hi!

I have hard bricked Redmi 9 (cattail) device and now I want to unbrick it. According to a video, I need to flash boot.img of stock fastboot rom to get fastboot working and then flashing the stock rom. But, when I try to flash it, I get the following error:

Handshake error, retrying...

It comes about 7 - 8 times and the program exists. What could be the possible reason?

Btw if someone has a link that shows how to brick this device in a detailed way, I would be more than happy :)

Hi to all

I introducing my issue.

I get a PX5 car head-unit, i'ts a chinese product. I'ts works globally fine.

But some months, some stranges thing appear, like Application crashing. Rebooting device during sdcard analysing.

After discusses with the chinese manufacturer, i update the device from Android 10 to 12... pretty cool !

So from now no Android Auto, just android !

Application not crashing after the update, so it's pretty cool. But i have the same issue with the SDCard.

My SDCard is big size as 512 Gb for my personal music library.

When the Android starting, Android starting a analysing about the SDcard. I can see that ongoing to Storage setting. And some one minute around, the Android do a reset.

And after that the Android stay on and works fine.

I suppose when the device going down when the car is shuting down, the SDcard isn't eject properly. Not sure....

Any ideas about this issue ?

Thkx for your support !

:)
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
The storage is too big for your unit.

Try a 256GB or better a 128GB or 64GB one and I think the reset is gone.
[Android Head-Units] gvdb.fr:
This morning it's rebooting all the time.

I already use this card before and i got no issue. I reformat many time the card from the Android device.

It's very strange. Are they some limitations about number of files ?
[Android Head-Units] rigattoni:
There are different restrictions on several devices. May be reduce the amount of files, better ask the seller about the restrictions of your device.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
hi GPpro7 users,

I would love to have your answers as users about this :

I have had two old Samsungs (A5 and S8), and they have "old" 12mp cameras...and I have been thinking that nowadays, that's 5 years later, cameras had gotten amazing and I would buy myself one of those, reading about your device the pixel pro 7, about the iPhone, the xiaomi mi11 ultra, the honour magic 4 ultimate, the S22 ultra, the iPhone 14 etc...

I went mad when I read about affordable 48mp, even 64mp and 108 mp cameras that are affordable...and completely puzzled when I read the reviews. Only to end up comparing my own shots to the sample images I could find online, understanding that to my knowledge those cameras produce plain 12mp at all, and any attempt to enlarge them to the claimed say 64 or 108mp size will just give me an unusable image with atrocious quality, whatever the phone.

Then I found about this tool that lets you compare cameras for real after I had read the complete commercial nonsense fuelled reviews online:

Camera comparison tool

see for yourselves how supposedly camera of the year doesn't look 1200€ less cheap than my S8...it is just amazing...no phone really beats others, even old phones...it's all low-quality 12Mp jpegs, that's about not an even decent 8mp jpeg...

And I wanted to buy one because I photoshop for a living, and last camera I had was around 2005, it produced good 8mp raw images, so I could make them great quality material for photo-montages, and therefore produce prints that'd be larger than A4.

It seems I wouldn't even be able to do that with nowadays top-level smartphones that claim they offer 108Mp...and I'm asking because the online info, or basic science, about it online is just misleading.

Please, I would love your own feeling-experience with your device that is supposed to bear awesome 50mp cameras, rather than trust anything that was posted online from reviews to camera samples that could be anything. When they say 50mp, the quality of raw files is the one of average enlarged 8-12mp compressed jpegs, or not ?

Thank you
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] dmbardal:
You get way better pictures on newer phones.

The only time you might see similar results are with perfect lighting.

Thats it.

The sensors are better.

Its one of the few things that actually evolve on phones.

I've had Xiaomi phones with 'AMAZING MEGAPIXELS'.

Its never amazing.

In low light they are so bad compared to flagships from Sony, Samsung and Google.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
thank you you summed it up, I couldn't find any info anywhere behind the advertising techniques, I wonder if I can get pro quality , that's actual 50mp fine results, for using it professionally, so I'll be waiting for further replies.

Everything they advertise looks like nothing but better looking -less noisy and all - 12mp jpegs at all, plus good zooming abilities in a few cases, but not as the name suggests, high end pro cameras at all.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fashion_live:
I take photos for work on fabrics and carpets. I need an excellent camera phone that takes photos with colors as similar to real colors as possible.

What is the best android phone for my needs?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
None, get yourself a DSLR or a mirrorless camera if you need "accurate" colors. All of the phones have their own way of post-processing the photos and almost none of them result in accurate colors.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
If you're talking about RAW, not none of the OEMs offer non-binned images in RAW. You always get the binned output even when shooting RAW photos.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
thank you, yes from the advertisement or product description, one hopes for a say 108 mp good quality camera, that will offer you PLENTY of sharp details in every photograph, like...can zoom anywhere and get a new A4 to exploit. And I'm very disappointed...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fashion_live:
Thanks but I know. My question is about camera phones
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
There are some really good YT Vids comparing phone cameras.

Marques Brownlee did a few really involved comparisons of various modes and features of the newest phones. The Pixel Devices, 6 Pro, 6A and 7 Pro were the top picks
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
check the comparison tool link I posted in the first post. Recent Xiaomi phones seem interesting regarding colour fidelity.

but anyway it relies on the ambient light as you shoot too , an app like Color Grabber may help
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] fashion_live:
I dont need best camera phone, i need best camera phone with realistic and natural colors
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
I get that, but this is a phone first, not a camera and you're not going to get everything you would with an actual camera, at least at this point, although Phone cameras have come a long, long way.

I think people need to be reminded this is a communications device, primarily.

The point of the videos is that those things are taken into consideration in the comparisons.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 96carboard:
The sensor is 48 MP, but it blends groups of 4 pixels together resulting in a 12 MP image. You can't blow the image up and recover those additional pixels.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
50mp binned to 12.5mp on the primary :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
Thank you very much because everything online is VERY misleading, regarding 500 - 1500 euros investments.

I am flabbergasted because the ads and product descriptions pretend it's 50mp or more pro cameras, and they happen to be plain okay (not even but...) 12mp digicams. Nothing worth spending 1500 euros it seems. I just expected I could invest like 800 and get a pro camera too that would just let me shoot a photo, get awesome 50mp quality, zoom on the raw file and get another A4 size good cropped shot etc...on top of the disappointment, the misleading info and product description is truly disgusting
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] tiagobt:
Is the pixel binning process performed by hardware or software? Is it theoretically possible to have the option of full-resolution images as a future software update?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
The same sensor does produce 50mp images on other phones so presumably it is handled by software, personally I don't think Google will allow it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
It's definitely a software thing as my OnePlus 9's stock camera software does enable you to disable the pixel binning and take a full 50MP photo. The results are pretty terrible though because OnePlus' camera just leaves a lot to be desired.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
Yes ! it's all about that, and about the availability of non-binned therefore 48mp or more images online for comparison, it took me ages to find only one of those from a Xiaomi 12s phone, so the actual quality of the camera is actually visible !!! (and not that great !) although the Xiaomi 12t pro and maybe 12s ultra are the best ones I've found so far.

The thing is they show 12mp shots shrunk to our phones' dimensions, or as a shrunk jpeg so that looks good, but that's nothing like the actual camera"s quality that only gets visible on those original non-binned shots, that's a pic that's about an iMac's screen size and it seems very little progress has occurred in five years, the best cam gives okay to good enough results in daylight but that goes with manual retouching. Unless someone proves me wrong...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
Personally i don't see what the fuss is about, 12.5mp is more than adequate for printing even at A3 and as they say the best camera is the one you have in your hand, the megapixel myth seems alive and well.

My first DSLR was only 8MP and i did plenty of (paid) weddings and air shows with that.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
no fuss but disappointment about the price. I disagree about the 12Mp being enough if the camera's quality is not good, and the info/samples one can find online are not enough for one to know about that.

In my case I don't rely on AI and have to fix anything that is not clean and sharp manually, moreover quality+raw availability decides wether I can use it at all as if quality is not good, I can not use any material I shoot because with modifications implied in a montage only the remaining bad quality shows, after a few operations, and overall the result will an okay small jpeg at all.

Say I'm surprised I couldn't find many photoshoppers talking about their own experience with cellphone cameras online and asked here because the internet gave the pixel pro 7 an awesome reputation
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
Lets be honest anyone that buys a Pixel and doesn't rely on Googles computational photography has bought in to the wrong phone really.

The last wedding i did my Canon 24-105mm L lens packed in (which made my day), I'd got my 17-40mm L on my second body but the barrel distortion is noticeable and the images are really soft around the edges at the wide end so i before i went to exchange the failed lens for my 50mm prime i took a few sneaky photos with my P6P and later on i was shocked at what a good job it had done, the sky was perfectly blue, the clouds were all detailed and the happy couple were perfectly exposed with all the detail in the world visible. I have even put an offer out to anyone wanting a wedding photographer that i would do it for free providing i could use my phone and nothing else, it halves the work.

My raw shots (taken with a pair of Canon 70D) took a dogs age to get anywhere near as good.

(FWIW i think my P6P pro gave better results than what my P7P does for some reason :unsure:)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
Thank you Sir, it's getting interesting !

I fear the fact google alters the colours and the light and for myself I want to get a camera that's good at shooting "what it sees". I fear the same happens with the most expensive iPhone . If the camera styled all photos consistently with the same "fruity" factor, it could be a great way to style my own stuff but I fear it all means data loss.

I'm pretty sure you can charge even more for cellphone photos once you have explained they're better cameras, and also that the "retouching" part is actual work and in no way automated ai - apps "everyone" can use for free.

I had a 8mp Nikon actual digital camera 20 years ago...details weren't anywhere in there, within raw files either, and I'm like very enthusiastic when I read about good 108 mp phones, so I can shoot raw 108mp (non binned), then shrink it a bit in order to get more quality. I did truly think of the pixel 7 pro, but I seem to head towards other models:

Xiaomi 12t pro, mi 11 ultra, or 12s, or 13 pro. And I admit the difference in quality I have seen between those and iPhone 14 is disgusting (iPhone being better)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Just to add my two cents here:

Google camera is absolutely disgusting, especially after the December update. Oversharpenning, over-processing, full of artifacts.

BSG Gcam for the win with far better results.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
those mods can make quite a difference. I have tried a gcam mod I got rid of because eI couldn't get it to work normally on my s8, can't remember where I found it I only remember the app icon was different, red and black, it would just make small details look great when they would just be smeared noise with other mods or with the samsung camera app.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Gcam is FULLY supported on Pixel devices. It just requires custom libs and configuration if you want to utilize it at its fullest.

Luckily we have a person who does it. He made a custom lib and config and it works FAR better compared to Google Camera.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
yes indeed I don't have a google phone
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
Not my experience at all thankfully, that said i do get lots of images that are softer than a soft thing that came first in the UKs national soft thing competition sadly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
I seem to have found my next camera, thank you very much for your input
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Well, your experience or not, when you put 2 photos on a big screen (or zoom in) made from the 2 apps I mentioned, you see it clearly. This is not a "subjective" thing, this is something that anyone can observe with their eyes. Technically speaking quality of the picture is better on Gcam when using the config/lib I mentioned. Not talking about personal preference, talking about an actual observable quality difference in the photos.

On a 7-inch screen, nothing matters, but as soon as you start looking at the photos on a laptop/pc screen you realize how bad it is compared to Gcam. Also, with the December update, and the new Google Camera update, they set the sharpening to even higher making things even worse.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Pinsoute:
Could you please provide some more details on where to find the Gcam app & libs ?

Also, I can only agree with Google agressive treatments. It is funny to have a look at a picture in your gallery right after you shot it. You'll have the opporunity to see the picture before the "processing" is complete and after few seconds you see the difference its just amazing how much software post-treatment is done here ...

Same with the top-shot function : You see the images shot by the lens and the chosen one by Google (the only one "processed") is just from another world ...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
I am using a calibrated 27inch LG 1440p 144MHz monitor.

Looking at the hair (a sure fire sign of excessive sharpening) of my family members that i have taken photos of over Christmas they look fine at 1x, not too dissimilar to what i expect from my Canon EF 24-105 f/4 L to be honest when i have compared them to a myriad of wedding shots, at 0.5x there things are becoming soft and at 5x i have seen sharper cheese slices, pretty crap to be honest.

My experience is very different to yours and i have absolutely no reason to make it up just to ruffle anyone's feathers. You only have to look at the bad battery thread to see how each user experience is different.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
...so there's still hope for people like me who are professional photo retouchers.Despite the whole AI thing.

For a 27 inches good screen you need to have quality 24 or more Max shots, and to be able to manually retouch parts of each photo, and you need a recent computer that is fast enough. I see most details disappear after a 3x zoom within the saved image, are unusable, but a few cameras let you zoom in up to 5X without degradation at all and I want one of those now, the top level xiaomi phones, as well as the iPhone 14 and the Mate50pro are good enough, but those last two are too expensive for what they offer on that plan...and they all will imply a systematic correction of colours and contrast. Still, you'll get those details within reach.

Now we're looking for quality 108Mp cameras, that will let one use say 64Mp (scaled) shots, with details and no degradation, affordable with its sister cams being 50mp, and that isn't available yet : having looked in detail I found 108MP cameras that one can certainly not use as 108Mp cameras. For usability, one needs to have bigger and better shots that one handles, because editing like retouching like AI filters and all degrade photos, although we feel they look better, so one has to aim at bigger/better shots and raw files than one plans to use. Still disappointing though, and for myself I'll be heading towards a few specific xiaomi phones I have spotted if I can
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
No one should be using their phone in a professional manner should they? It is there to replace the snapshot camera we may have once carried. You can have all the pixels in the world but if the image quality is crap it is pointless. I see the Pixel 6a is coming out as the best camera phone of 2022 and that is using a 12mp sensor that initially surfaced on the Pixel 2.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
oh yeah...I can use my s8 as a pro camera, looking for well lit objects/scenes only, retouching them, using them as a 8 or 12 mp background or whole, and using 12mp shots of given objects , it works for high quality A4 prints for the press.

Also, in the press, very often plain jpegs were used and printed. Unless you produce prepress work and full A4 ads, like cosmetics, better and bigger cams are not necessary...given it takes one to be able to afford one of those anyway.

a good 64mp cellphone would make my day(s).moreover a good 108mp.the current good 50mp would too, but it goes with retouching their shots knowingly.Once you scale those down to 50mp or less, that's about A4/A3 (8-24mp) you have pro quality in terms of details, absence of noise and chromatic aberration. IF you use them with a tripod, it gets better. So when cosmetic brands and such will always ask a pro photographer to do the job, you can produce good shots for the real estate industry with cellphone cameras, for instance. Portrait photography is yet another deal as I don't see quality/detail in 50mp headshots produced by google at all, and the others are better but not enough - unless I try them and they prove me wrong.

That said I now think it's obvious the whole "pro" camera on "pro" cellphones thing is a complete hoax I'll still buy a specific cellphone that's less than 900 euros for my own pleasure when I can. Noway I'd get the so-called 1500€ cameras of the year
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
It doesn't take very long with a camera phone to hit that small sensor digital mush look when cropping which is something you can get away with a larger sized sensor that for sure.

This is a 15mp image taken on a Canon 50D which is well known for having one of the worst APS-C sized sensors known to man but even when cropped down to 3mp it still looks good enough.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Seems like we have a different definition of what a "PRO" camera is, because if you consider a phone to be good for "pro" shots, in that case, it doesn't matter if you have 50 or 12 Mpix, photos are all poop for anything serious, and it's everything just not "pro".
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
it does were you up there shooting that photo ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
a few 50mp shots from a specific phone look good enough to me given its price compared to 2500$ or plus cameras. On another website they offer 50mp or more samples from all cameras so you can open them in photoshop and get a better idea. It truly depends on what you do with it, for what customer.

In my case ...last jobs I've done were with a 8mp Nikon digital camera almost 20 years ago, the quality was perfect to me but there would be no zooming in at all. I have been doing other things meanwhile and got back to photo retouching lately, discovering the new computer and camera hardware. Things haven't changed much and it's like just more expensive now to produce a good quality A4...and I have no idea what's been going on in terms of digital cams meanwhile.

I do photo-montage, which consist in a good quality background (large shot), a subject/object, and of other imported photos, so I need to find a way to shoot all that easily, getting quality that's good enough for producing an A3 or more.

I have found a smartphone that gives good images, last year's batch, colours aren't true but can be fixed easily, and actual size 50mp shots are good
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
I wish, no mate i was in the crowd at RAF Waddington when they had air shows, the Tornado was going down the display line at about 500 feet altitude.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
yeah too bad...I understand the image better though now, pretty good I didn't even know it was achievable.

Maybe you wanna check this out it's a 50mp photo taken with a 1200$ phone that can easily be found at 650$ now, better than any smartphone, and regarding the quality I find it pretty awesome except for the lens bound deformation

sample shot

another 50mp one, zoom on the details in the background, such quality would make my day

2nd sample

and the 5x zoom looks good in 50mp...

X5 zoom

I'm too cheap and can't buy it yet otherwise I'd be having fun already, it's good stuff for the price, good cameras start at 1000$ for 12 mp files...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MrBelter:
It is a very tough call, if you look at the P7P Vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra images it is a very close call with both having plusses and minuses, the Xiaomi seems to ramp up the sharpening too much for my liking.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Nath_h57:
I believe the mi11 ultra is the best of all and it's been for two years, and it sells for 650$ actually. I don't know but I believe so...

Now there's the last batch of xiaomi that looks less good, and the mi13pro that looks just like the iPhone, the 12sultra and the 12tpro that look less good than the mi 11 , and seemingly the new 1000$ vivo 90+pro something that seems the best

so there's a new batch of awesome ones to come with prices going down on some of them I guess but I'd still get the mi 11 pro big time
