samsung galaxy S- all of them have six-axis sensor

There are 4 sensors in Galaxy S GT-I9000 (European and Asian version):
- SMB380 - Acceleration sensor by Bosch
- MS-3C or YAS529 - Geomagnetic sensor, Orientation sensor by Yahama
- gp2a - proximity by gp2a
- gp2a light sensorby sharp
Both SMB380 and MS-3C are triaxial sensor (3+3 =6 axes ???)
Gyroscope is superior to Acceleration sensor.
SMB380 itself definitely cannot comparable to Gyroscope. However, Yamaha MS-3C compensates for the weak point of SMB380.
So, I suppose that Samsung vibrant, fascinate, epic,... have exactly the same hardware specs with Gt-i9000. There isn't any real gyroscope inside, but 2 trixial sensors which imitate gyroscope.
It's funny to think that samsung would redesign the mainboard for the US version just because of adding a small gyroscope.

nice info
you seem to have electrical component familiarity -
any possibility you can identify the front facing camera mfgr & model number?

I indeed don't have any electrical component familiarity.
All the sensor information is from Android System Info then I just did some small research

TKS - that larger aluminum body looks like it's the rear facing camera with the FFC contained in that orange backed pc above - looks like they're connected

How did i not see this earlier-

It looks a little wierd, but it's published by samsung USA tube.

Here are some links for the sensors I have found being as included in i9000 through sensorinfo (free app).

Hi ,
today Omar Khan in MobileBeat 2010 conference shows a slide with international version of Galaxy S and there is a sentence above it:
What do you think?
Source

woohoo, now another feature the iphone 4 has that SGS has too. No longer will i think that the iphone 4 has something better than my SGS

the SGS i9000 actually has more feature than the iphone4

Hi, I'm getting my new i9000 tomorrow
First, I wanted a new iPhone 4 (I now have a 3G).
But the antenna problem etc. decided me now to go for the i9000.
I hope this is a good choice. (costs also less money)
Greez, Theo.

hi
sorry if i bother you and sorry if i make mistakes in writing (english is not my first language)
i need to build an aotupilot and it seems that te samsung galaxy has accelerometers, gyros, magnetic compas and gps antena all that i need.
do you know if/how can i extract the signals from these sensors for further proccesing?

[YES] Camera can be better

After the update we get a real improvement over the stock FW from camera but... is this enough?
Well, regarding HW, the camera is great. Lets compare with some flaghships...
Moto X
The Moto X anyhow includes a CMOS sensor topped by a color filter array with a single clear pixel in the place of what would otherwise be a green pixel in Bayer land, and claims a 75 percent gain in sensitivity as a result. Motorola has long been an OmniVision customer, for about as long as I’ve tracked them. The Moto X continues that trend with a 10 MP OV10820 rear facing CMOS sensor, which is a variant of OV10810 that includes a clear pixel. That rear facing sensor includes 1.4µm pixels and thus ends up notably bigger than the 13 MP sensors with 1.1µm pixels with a format of 1/2.6". The sensor array is 16:9 aspect ratio, with an image size of 4320x2432, which sort of gives away its real design intention – a 4K (UHD) image sensor, though obviously the Moto X can’t shoot 4K video.
Atop the Moto X sensor is a relatively fast F/2.4 system with 4.5 mm focal length, which gives it around a 30mm (35mm effective equivalent) focal length. I still would love to see more phones come in around 35, but 30 is still a bit longer than the 28 and below I see starting to become more common to get the stack thinner.

So... what is happening? Yes... it is FW related.
What can we do?

Am I the only one who thinks a lot of the problem could be terrible jpg compression? I'd love to see what they look like before compression.

My main issue still (which I've reported to Motorola) is that the camera will get washed out (hazy white look) in bright daylight. I think it is notably less than before the update, but it still needs improvement. I am hoping Motorola continues to look into camera improves and doesn't just scoff it off as complete because they "fixed" the obvious issues.

G3 has Barometer sensor!

Found this thread on Reddit
http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2jmund/lg_g3_has_barometer_sensor/
Everywhere I read, I don't see any site listed LG G3 with barometer build in except a few comments in XDA stated it does have it. So I downloaded a Barometer app and sure it does display it! I have the D855 rooted w V10L.
To check for the reading if it's getting info from GPS location based data or using a real barometer sensor (found the info from another site somewhere):
Put the G3 in a large Ziploc bag sealed with the Barometer app running and presses on the bag to see if the sensor moves then it's a real sensor not GPS. And yes the sensor moves with the increasing pressure in the bag.
Okay, to make the test more convincing, I also have a brand new Sony Z3 Compact which has barometer listed in the spec and did the same thing in the bag along side the G3 and it's showing the same reading as I press on the bag.
So, unless I am not doing it right, I think LG or someone else never disclosed the barometer sensor being build-in in the spec sheet. Now this makes the G3 even cooler than it was before.
This is an easy test. Give it a try. Unless like the FM radio which is disabled for US version but not international version, maybe it is included in the D850 and D851? What is your take on this?

Looks legit to me

Barometer app seems to work! Very cool.
Now why would they put a barometer in and not mention it.

Now that the G3 has been found to have a pressure sensor this could be used also for an altimeter app...

Working, nice finding ...not sure what is it good for except of internal cooperation with GPS to faster calculate location.
Btw, nice application also with widget - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.redTools.osb. Is has ability to correct measured pressure by actual altitude.

What exactly is missing with non-touchwiz rom?

Can someone please provide an exact list of what typically is missing on Note 4 when you install a non-touchwiz rom?
Obviously samsung apps, but the ONLY samsung app I use is S-Health, and that can be installed on a non-touchwiz device.
What else? Fingerprint sensor? Stylus support? Heart rate monitor? Multi-Window? Humidity and Temperature sensors?
Thanks

You don't use the Samsung Dialler, Messaging, Contacts, S Planner, Camera etc. apps? Those are missing. Note 4 doesn't have any humidity or temperature sensors by the way. But I would also like to know whether S Health hardware sensors work on CM ROMs or not, as I use them on regular basis.

Special modes of Touchwiz camera cant be used

If note4 doesn't have humidity and temp sensors.... than how am I getting accurate temp and humidity info in the Galaxy Sensors app??

Honestly I have no frigging idea mate! The specs sure say that it lacks the Hygrometer the Note 3 had, but I will check that app myself! Samsung must be crazy to include it and then not mention it!

It didn't work at first in that app and then after an update it did. I think Samsung just used the same chip as the Galaxy s6 for that stuff and disabled in on the note 4 for god knows why. The developer of that app must have realized and found a way to link into them.

aptX for better sounding Bluetooth audio is something that gets often overlooked. Its not available on none TW ROMs.

Galaxy s8/s8+ camera sensors "slsi" or sony imx

I'm starting this to get your thoughts on the different camera sensors in the S8 and S8+. As you probably know this is a trend with Samsung since the s6. This year, the S8 uses either a sony imx 333 or a samsung isocell. Last year the sony sensor proved to be a bit better than the isocell counterpart and 2 years ago this was a real issue with isocell users getting a lot less quality from their photos compared with those lucky ones that got the sony sensors.
My simple s8 has an isocell.

Took some photos and it looks fine at first glance. I'm curios how many of you got the sony sensors and how many the isocells.

S8 Tmo variant.
Kinda disappointed with the quality so far though, coming from a Nexus 6p. Hopefully Chromloop will make Camera NX available for the s8 soon so we can have that good Google Auto HDR+ with Zero Shutter Lag...

Which is better ?

I have the Sony in my S8+ ATT variant. Quite happy with the camera.
