Sample rate of sensors on the smart watch

Hi Everyone,
I'm working a research project which involved in collecting accelerometer and gyroscope data. I would like to use the Sony Smartwatch 3 as a data collection equipment but I'm not sure what is the sample rate of those sensors on the watch is enough.
I wonder if there is any one who own the watch and could help me run a little experiment about the sample rate. I write a simple app here: github.com/valkjsaaa/AndroidWearSampleRate/releases/tag/v1.0 . Just download the source code and compile it using Android Studio, run it on your watch, and tell me what is displayed on the watch.
Thanks a lot!

Accelerometer sample rate smartwatch
Hi jackieyang9!
I am wondering the same thing and would really appreciate information regarding the sample rate of different smartwatch types. If you gathered any information regarding this I would be very thankful!

Camera app with HDR+ enabled

Hi all -- When I purchased a Moto Z late last month, I was excited about the device's performance but blind to the fact that I was going to lose the HDR+ camera mode that I had become so accustomed to with my Nexus 6.
This got me working on some potential solutions -- and after decompiling the Camera NX app posted on chromloop.com, I was able to change some settings that enable full HDR+ photography on the Moto Z. So if any of you are craving being able to take photos with Google's HDR+ mode, here is a modified APK that will allow you to do so: http://www.mediafire.com/file/l8num4lyw05vybt/Camera4-hdrplus.apk
I have been using it for several weeks on my Moto Z, and I can confirm that the HDR+ images come out looking much better than those taken with the stock camera app or even the same modified Camera NX app with HDR+ disabled. It's slightly buggy (low-light images are only occasionally not saved) but a great solution for any Moto Z users afflicted with the Nexus blues. This should also work on other devices with equivalent Camera2 API support; if you are wondering whether it will work, just try it -- if HDR+ images are successfully captured, your device supports the needed API calls.

Can you enable RAW capture and manual control?

Hello, I installed the camera application, but when I go to slow motion mode, App crashes. Any solution?

Will this be continually developed?
Because this is a wonderful addition. Just needs some bug fixes and it'll be seriously golden.

I'm afraid that ongoing development of this app might be challenging, as I'm no expert in modifying decompiled apps, which this is (as the official Nexus/Pixel camera app is closed source). The extent of my modifications, believe it or not, was to return a constant boolean value of "true" for a function that checks whether a device is a Nexus 6P -- so the app enables HDR+ as the app is hard-coded to enable all functions available on Nexus 6P devices. It just happened to be very lucky that HDR+ is supported! -- I'm not so optimistic about being able to enable slow motion video, RAW capture, or manual control, but I will keep those in mind next time I have more time to work on this.

Thank you so much for this. I see a big difference with HDR+. I've had the Nexus 6P and Pixel, I know how great HDR+ is. It's sad that Google closed source their app.

Let us know if you can enable RAW, because HDR+ takes 3 RAW photos for the composition, so theoretically RAW is supported by the app.

This is awesome! So far with just a little experimenting today with a Force, I can see the difference. I look forward to testing it further.

This is incredible! How did you figure out how to bypass the checks and actually enabled the hdr+? Google never open sourced this so how were you able to get it to work? Many have tried to get hdr+ but failed.

Today's testing was outside and yielded mixed results. I'll continue to experiment.

Wen trying to install the apk it says there was a problem parsing the apk

I created a little album on Google Photos demonstrating the difference between regular shots, the stock app's HDR mode and HDR+. They are shot in that order but I have put them in the description in order to aid identification. Differences can be subtle but often, they are very dramatic.
If you need to know, my variant is an unlocked standard Moto Z running Android 7.0 that's also rooted. It also has a 1/3" 13MP Sony IMX214 with 1.12-micron pixels and an f/1.8 aperture. Pretty sure the Force will do better since it has a larger sensor at 1/2.4". Regardless, HDR+ makes a significant enough difference that it has become my main camera app. If I still had my Note 7, I'd be drooling right now.

Thanks for sharing this. I've done something similar with the Force camera.. It's a mixed bag to me. Often HDR+ did a better job with the sky, but often its shots were too dark to me. I've seen a bigger difference with indoor shots.

Thanks for the sharing. Hope moto can implement HDR+ to its own camera app.

Yeah, the 6p and pixel both exhibit the same thing, most of the the time their shots are going to look darker (if you compare them side by side to other phones)

I like five of the shots with HDR+ more (two are very significant) 7 with the Moto HDR, and three with the normal mode fwiw.

Has to be on Nougat

You know, I wonder if this works with the Hasselblad mod.
I've always thought that the issues with the Hasselblad camera are software-related since the sensor is likely the same one from the 6P. If HDR+ and better processing can save it, color me impressed.

High frame rate mode mobile legends samsung a50

Hi guys, just want to ask everybody on how to enable the High Frame Rate mode in Mobile Legends using this model (Samsung a50). People say that HFR mode will only appear on devices which can handle that mode. I believe that a50 is capable of handling that because it has 4GB of ram. If anyone knows how to do it please help me. Thanks in advance.

Is the high frame rate option is missing as well? I'm using Samsung Galaxy a7. After I update my phone to android pie, the option went missing. I already talked to samsung support about this one and they said that this is an app problem. Big reason is that, ML app is not yet optimizing to android pie for most devices they suggest to contact the app developer.

I thought im the only one experience it..its right because of the upgrade of our AOS to android pie some of setting in Mobile is missing.

mine has the high frame rate

They're is slow motion option in the camera app which captures at 240fps.

Get the Stock Camera App to run on an Android 40 Device

Hey there,
is there any change to get the Stock Samsung Android App as a APK to install on a Samsung A40?
Unfortunately they reduced the Camera App on this device.

how they reduced it ? what are the differences ?

For example on the A40 you can only use the bokeh (live focus) - effect, when the camera detects a face. for no reason.
on the a50 you can use this effect on anything you focused on.
Guess it's just another little way to artificially reduce the functions. Same as the missing always on display.

I understand your concern mate but there's currently no way to use camera app from other samsung devices. Samsung releases it's own version of apk for specific devices or else blocks the function if the device is different. I wanted to use Night mode present on S10 on my A50, though the build numbers are same, the app doesn't get installed & when it does, it crashes.
You might need root or someone needs to make an universal port of Samsung's apk.
Cheers

I wonder if the reason is the lack of depth camera (A50 has it, A40 does not). The algorithm can detect a face and blur stuff around it. But it has no way of knowing the limits of other objects without depth data.

Question How well does mcpro24fps work ?

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a pixel 6 / 6 pro, but first I'd like to know what kind of video I can get from it.
Has anyone tested mcpro24fps ? What are the maximum resolutions available ? The maximum bitrate ?
Are the aux cameras available and working ? (It seems like the ultra wide isn't very wide or very good, but at least the main and zoom lenses ?)

For anyone who is curious, this is an $18 app mcpro24fps - professional manual video camera app.

It's also available for free if you download it through the developper's telegram discussion - but it's in russian. I learned where the main buttons are through screenshots and google lens translation, and it works well enough for me.
Not sure I'm allowed to post the link to the telegram here, but if I am I will !

i've dabbled with this app and filmic on previous devices and been left a bit frustrated. it all depends on your usual way of working. for a start you lose all gyro stabilization, which for me is a deal breaker. also with regards the pixel 6, my guess would be that you will also lose it's hdr.net video capabilities, which is an incredible feature.
on my p6p the default white balance for video (but not stills) is a little warm. i've found that if you tweak the white balance slider down just a tiny bit, the footage looks really amazing. if you also hop onto the MWP mod of the camera, you can bump the bitrate up to 100, vs the 69 of stock. using this mod you can control most aspects of the stills, saturation sharpness noise control hdr etc. i've yet to experiment whether those also apply to video.

Although as I already said, that version is only in Russian. What I usually do is take a screenshot, open it in google photos, tap the google lens icon and select "translate". So I can only read a few buttons at a time.
Also you will need to download and install any future updates by yourself.
If you've never used the app, basically tap the camera icon at the bottom of the screen, select one of the two top menus (with or without gpu, it determines wether the video feed will be encoded by the gpu or isp) then select 60 fps, and finally the highest resolution available.
Then a bit further down one of the options is a value in megabytes, that's the bitrate, push it as far as possible (before the selection turns red)
You can also check out the aux sensors by taping the button at the top-left corner.

So... if stabilization, hdr.net video and GCAM processing is out the window, what good is this app if it only gets fed the 12.5 MP downgraded version of a sensor that has not been properly optimized? If "saturation sharpness noise control" are of interest, wouldn't it be wiser to just shoot in RAW and then edit later on, ensuring that the "base" product is of higher quality?

The base idea of the app is that it gives you acess to the rawest output from the sensor. It supports better resolutions than the stock camera, in much higher bitrate. In theory, it also supports denoise and both ois and eis.
I made this post to check if all of these do actually work on the pixel 6 pro (including on the aux lenses) and what resolutions and fps combos are supported.

The only thing it might not have is hdr.net, and even that might be exposed as a video output from the camera api, so even that might be a possibility, just with a higher bitrate than what the stock app supports.
EDIT : The video feed isn't downgraded in any way, stabilization is supported, and it supplants gcam processing which isn't really good at video anyway (except maybe hdr.net, but we'll see).
