Hi,
I was wondering if there is a camera available for the XDA? I'm currently developing an application for the XDA and my client wants to know if there is a camera available which can be connected to the XDA somehow. Now I've never came across such an accessoire but maybe someone knows more about this (is there one being developed etc)?

No, it will not work.....
The camera is using a sdio-Port, but the xda only has a SD-Port.
So no way to get it working....

I think u can use the camera of the Nokia 9210. it uses the IR port . Its a little bulky but I think I wil work. :lol:
I wonder why nobody has made a camera with a memory card interface instead of an IO interface? It couldn't do video, but could do photos.
Anybody tried the Nokia camera? That could be a useful option.
Just get a compact digital camera that supports SD cards. Much easier and quicker than IRTranP. Not many new cameras support this protocol as it proved to be too slow and unreliable and never took off.
Other than that, I don't think there's any other way attaching a camera without SDIO.
Connecting a camera for video is pretty much a no go because the serial and IR ports are just too slow. You probably couldn't use a SD based memory communication method as SD cards aren't designed for continuous read/write activity and would wear out pretty quickly. Although for stills this might be feasible.
Some of the proposed new PPC/PE devices have built in cameras, and look pretty interesting especially the Hitachi one (with a thumb keyboard too!)
hi
i have a kodak camera which takes a mmc card and i use this a lot for photos and i then transfer them to my xda :lol:
hi
i have had a nokia camera that came with my communicator the picture quality was crap wouildnt recomend it
Checkout this link....
It is in Dutch, but it has a picture though....
http://forum.pocketpc-club.nl/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11438&highlight=camera
As the link says, it's actaully the SPV camera jammed onto the XDA.
Now that looks like it means it's feasible to do a serial port camera, as the SPV has I beleive the same connector, although you'd need some software on the XDA to interface with it. I still doubt it would be fast enough for video.
It looks like the dutch aren't sure if it's a fake too, they found it on a chinese website.
One of them says he thinks it's possible that one of the smartphone drivers will run on Pocket PC.
Something different:
Wouldn't it be possible to build a camera that stores it's data on a SD "from the other end" while the SD is sitting in the XDAs slot? No SDOIO, but only a shared SD. Maybe the camera has to temporarily disconnect the SD from the XDA while writing, so it will only work for stills.
Nevertheless, if the serial is fast enough I like the idea more, because then recording to a relatively large and interchangable SD is better than recording to the limited 64MB internal RAM.

SD Camera for O2XDA
Hi there ,
i've just brought one and try it .. nice ... no nid SDIO :lol:

oh yeah..i saw the same camera on ebay too and was almost tempted
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3341265361&category=32242
leonisto,
i am very curious if the image quality is acceptable. (Unfortunately, on the older nokia models, inbuild cameras are rather average at producing sharp images). Can u post a sample picture for us?
thx
woody
i dont know about the phoneCAM's of today but i got this creative webcam which can disconnect and take pictures and it's crap
it use cmos tech and pictures are
1 over exposed
2 under exposed
3 have odd sinister colours
so i personaly would think 2th before spending too much on a cam which
were not a real digiCAM
Is there any way to convert the internal memory from FAT32 to EXT3\4?
Its great that we have 13 gigs usable memory on the internal NAND, but with it formatted as FAT, I can not store files larger than 4 GB in size.
** Please No Discussion of reasons for large files on internal SD. **
** No Discussion on 720P vs 480P **
Is there really a need to have any single file larger than 4GB?

Lets not highjack this thread with the relevance of large files. Perhaps I am using my phone as a USB drive and I work with large files.
Can anyone with information relevant to the topic chime in ?
supercurio from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748880&page=11 appears to be having a lot of luck with doing almost exactly this.

Hrmmm, the link is to the lag fix... I seen quite a few posting of EXT3\4 partitions but they exist on the microsd card and not internal ( if I understand the directions correctly).
Thanks for your input Ryan.
They've almost finished mounting ext4 on internal memory(not using images etc, actually formating them) in Korea, people are testing it now. I think there are posts about that here too.

Oops, seems that I missread the article. What i meant was 1.8gb program memory...
By the way, ext4 can't be used from windows os, you know. May be exFAT could be solution

Does anyone have information on our partitions are mounted? Is this done by script at boot time?
Maybe your better off buying an external SD card and formatting it to EXT 3/4?
Just throwing it out there..

Why put a full 720P file on the phone? By definition 720P is 1280×720 pixels. The displays on our phones are only 800x480 pixels. You will see absolutely no gain in playing a 720P video, over a much smaller, converted video running at the native resolution. And you'll save battery life as well because the system doesn't have to down-convert the media to something it can show.
So, I am going to have to back up:

Does it really matter? The man wants the capability, hence the question.

maybe because you don't want to spend time converting the movie file. as smb else said, doesnt matter the reason behind, let's just find out if it is possible.
Btw, please smb enlighten me: I have formatted an SD with ext2/3 file system and SGS did not recognize it, returning error: SD card damaged or in an unknown format.
How can I format an SD in ext2/3 and to use it in SGS for large file transport? I believe I am missing smth, since lot of persons are talking about it. And yes, I did try to search a bit..

K, you got me!
But, the point of my post was to point out the flaw of the video file thing. Believe it or not, there are a lot of people that do think 720P would look better than 480P on our phones. I remember a discussion with someone complaining that the SGS doesn't do 1080P. Now, the DNLA does make sense. But, as for the TV out, there is no hi-def tv out option available for our phones that I have seen tested. Samsung does have a microusb to hdmi, but I have not seen any proof that it is compatible with our phones.

yes, you got a real point here. But rather than converting any >4GB 720p movie file, which takes time, I would rather prefer to copy it directly to my SD and see it from there with all the downsides that come with it.
So how do we do this?

In order for me to have 32GB of useful space the internal 16 GB must also work with all file sizes.
If its not worth thinking about please don't fill the thread with your negativity, take it elsewhere.

Even if it is a valid point, it's completely irrelevant to this thread.
If you connect the phone to your pc in kies mode, you can put larger than 4gb files on the internal memory. When connected in this mode properly the phone will show up in My Computer under "other devices" as a GT-I9000. You can then open the phone and from there go into either the internal or external sd memory. When you copy a >4GB mkv movie over it will give you a warning "this media type may not be playable on the device" which you can ignore. The file is then split/transferred to the phone by the Kies background service. When it is finished it shows as one file but is really 2. It takes a bit of time as the transfer speed is slow (~8mbps) and it has to split the file as well. But considering Samsung put in drag and drop encoding that gets around the FAT32 limitations I'm pretty impressed.
Hey guys, so I have some HD movies I wanna put in my Galaxy Note but the size is too huge. So I wanna convert them to a smaller size but still keep the 720p resolution. Is that possible? I have Super media converter.
yes it is possible you just have to lower the bitrate of the video, also try using Handbrake

If I understand correctly. Im supposed to download all of the links there and install everything and then create shortcut and just drag my file onto it and just convert then it will be optimized for android. Is that right?
I can play 1080p music videos (around 500mb each) with no lags without the need of reencoding for lesser bitrates. I also play 720p movies (2gb file size) with subtitles without any lags; also without the need for it to be reencoded.

Pretty much yes. Once you drop the file onto the shortcut, you will be presented with a menu. Very easy. All the explanation is in the thread and so far I found to be the best method to convert videos to Android. Speed and quality wise.

Alternately you can use mkvtoolnix to split the files.
Ah thanks. i hate some problems using VidsOpt for some files. Tried handbreak and it works perfectly. Thanks guys!
Sorry guys to butt in, just wanted to ask a question which relates to 720p playback and file size.
Why is there a limit in which anything over 4Gb in size cannot be viewed?
Basically a movie which happens to be 3.99Gb in size will work but a movie of 4.25Gb for example won't work?
There must be a solution or a way around this problem.
Say you own a 64Gb memory card, having several movies that are 5 or 6Gb in size is nothing and you could fit around 10 movies at one time on the card.
Would ICS have the same restriction with regards to file size?
I have several blu ray rips myself which are around 2.5Gb. However, most of them are 6Gb in size and some others 10 and even 15Gb in size....
Just use handbreak and set the file size to 3.7Gb, no fuss no added config needed.

Its a file system limitation, you can check for the NTFS mod so that you can use files larger than 4GB. search the forums.

Thanks for the link. I will have to give it a LONG & HARD read as it seems a long & complicated procedure...
For all you mac users trying to get HD MKV's onto your Note, try Mkvtoolnix [had a link but can't post as I'm a new user].
It splits your mkv into parts (really quickly too) without quality degredation. You can even choose the size you want to split them at. A lot quicker than using Handbrake.
Searching the internet I found that there are classes of microSD cards. I noticed that my microSD card class is 4.
Really a MicroSD Class 10 will make a difference in my Xperia Z as recordings FullHD videos faster, photos, etc ?!?!
Compensate I buy a new MicroSD ?!?

I don't know how to use SD Card to record videos or take photos but i don't recommend you to use SD Card to take photos because SD Card Read/Write speeds are lower than UFS 2.1's Read/Write speeds. You can use it to backup your big sized files. Finally, i'm gonna tell you some settings in Arnova's Camera App to take photos well. I pointed settings you need to change in the screenshots

I found the nexus6p setting decreased image quality for me. I mainly fiddled to get low light quality after that's my main gripe with the camera.
I personally can't believe how much the app improves the camera, I found the camera incredibly disappointing with the stock app!
