galaxy s resolution false?

Hello!
I today recieved my fresh sgs and was playing around with it..i am really enjoying the contrast of its amazing screen..but then i put it right next to my slcd desire and what i realised hit me like a shovel..
The resolution on SGS is MUCH..and i mean much much lower than on the desire..both have 480x800 pixel res , and yea i know sgs has 0.3 inches larger screen,but the difference shouldnt be anywhere near that...
Is my phone faulty somehow?

The resolution is the same on those to phones, but the screen on SGS is larger so naturally the pixels will be larger. Also you are comparing SLCD to SAMOLED and they are very different technically, and as you mention this screen has crazy contrast and that will also make it easier to see individual pixels.

i have both also and i was just checking the 2 with full brightness and after pressing app drawer to compare (as i hav some same apps on both) i could see the edges of the apps on the sgs were kind of rigid and on the desire they were straight
dont know if that helps you

Read this post http://goo.gl/VlJxv . I kinda should have read more about the SGS before buying it. Now I am kinda disappointed with this and other things

Oh then i was right....because i kow for a fact that n1/desires with amoled do not have 480x800 effective resolution....
well this blows....

yeah ... and you dont see this at the shop while playing with the phone. No chance you notice this. I mean I WOULD never even think that this will look like crap . I mean SUPER AMOLED and how good it is you hear from everywhere ... And then the screen with its burn ins and ****ty resolution is one of the worst...
Btw I installed a cute small bold font comfortaabold from a thread here (Search for flipfonts) and it helps with the readability a little but for pics dunno, there I dont have with the res a problem.

I think im gonna give it a few more days more for a fair trial and if im still unhappy i will have to let it go :/

If you can, LET IT GO! It wont get better,only worse, if you can see now the differences, you will later on see the burn in too. Search a thread about this here too.

thanks for the help..should have read more extensively before i buy...and at the store you really couldnt tell..neither it wrote anywhere it was pentile matrix..already given up for delivery..meh, lost 80 good euro..could be worse i guess.

[Q] Is there any way to change PPI on WP8 phones?

Hi all. I have Nokia lumia 625, and blurry screen really annoys me because of low PPI.
Is there any way to change PPI on Windows Phones, like on androids?
Thnx

Leaving aside the fact that you won't make the screen *less* blurry by going to a non-native resolution (which is what you're asking to do), the simple answer is no. If you wanted a high-quality screen, you shouldn't have gotten a phone with a huge display and a low resolution... simulating a higher resolution will just make the screen elements harder to see, since stuff that should be one pixel wide will new either vanish or will be lightly blurred into adjacent pixels.

How to get 2k Resolution & 577 DPI on your M9

This started as a simple method to help or interest other's. But some how it turn into a disaster by the majority of the community/admins .. I'm explaining on how to do this ONE LAST TIME for the guy( jmwils3) I was going to reply to before my thread was closed down and to all the few people who were really interested in this but couldn't receive the info since I was silenced by Tin Foil Hat People/Fanboys .. For anyone else still interested in my insightful info or want to know more of my development in linux base operating systems, Please feel free to PRIVATE MESSAGE ME. Now on to the 2k Resolution/577 DPI Method for the M9>>
Requirements
-You must be rooted
-You must pick a different launcher than stock. (For me Nova doesn't work well. I use the Dodol Launcher and then resize Icons and widgets depending on preference)
-(AND REMEMBER RESIZE ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED YOUR CUSTOM RESOLUTION)
Method 1
Here I will only explain the most basic method/easiest way to do it..
-Download the app called "Resolution Changer Pro" <<DISCLAIMER>> I do not condone or represent this app in anyway, NOR do I even Know that developers of this app. In fact I don't even give two flying [email protected]#KS if you use another similar app to achieve the same goal( I just found that one works with my M9) <<Plus I felt I just had to say this disclaimer for the nimrods that will say"He's getting paid for advertising dissssssss!!" LMAO
-Next change the height to 2560 and the width to 1440 and lastly dpi to 577 and then hit Enable
-At this point everything going to get weird . But don't worry it's cool Next I need you to go in the same app and touch the "Fix navigation bars" )This is because us HTC one guys have the on screen buttons(Other phone users shouldn't do this)
- After that is will fast reboot and you're all done!. Just resize Like I said from your launcher and you will be straight.
Other Methods
There are other methods done by hard code and build prompts. But I will wait till people start asking me for a more stable/clean method without all the [email protected]#HING (But the method above should suffice)
OH! AND ONE MORE THING FOR "CONFIRMATION"
-Go to the youtube app and you now have the 1440p(2k) viewing option. And watch the BIG DIfference in detail! ( I choose to watch MKBHD videos since hes one of the few that upload videos in 2k to 4k on youtube)
You can also go to antutu benchmark app for the final results as well as I did in my OP.

You do realize that you aren't changing the resolution of the screen. That's NOT POSSIBLE.
What you're actually changing is the DPI. Basically you're tricking the software into thinking your screen is higher resolution. You're NOT changing the actual resolution of the screen. Take a microscope and examine the screen. There's no difference.
You get the 1440p option in youtube because the software THINKS you have a 1440p screen. You don't. It's like watching 4k movies on a 480p TV. It's possible, yes, but stupid.

So explain to me why HTC didn't just put the worst resolution screen in the phone and just change it in the software? Why wouldn't every company do that to save money? Because it's not possible.
There are a set number of pixels on a screen. You cannot change that.
And you don't need a microscope. Just a macro lens and a good camera.

Same reason they underclock the CPU before launch(They were "Cautious"). And mind you, I never said we were changing the "PPI" in the OP. I said we were changing resolution and "DPI". BIG DIFFERENCE.... What method we are practicing here is basically changing the dimensions of the image of a 1080p display to achieve a 2k almost or the same equivalent in quality . It's true we known from mistakes in the past by doing this to dvd and upscaling them to HD can cause distort images sometimes. This s NOT the case with a "5 inch display" compared to a 42' inch Television. Hence why I also said In my OP that it will get weird after the resolution is set. But the launcher correct this issue easily simply as I stated before it's only 5 itchs we're dealing with. Maybe you should try it first before shunning it. The video playback is quite good.

Got a headache reading your posts. Thanks.
Why stop at 2k, why turn your 2k display into a 4k? Heck why not 8k?

LOL, Don't mention it .. And I suppose it would depend on hardware. And there isn't an 8k option on the youtube app that I know of as of yet. Not even a 4k option. But like I said of what "I Know" .. Maybe you know something new that I don't

Hey, changing the native resolution of the screen is physically IMPOSSIBLE. It is built into the hardware. The screen itself supports up to 1920x1080 resolution. Anything you think you're changing it to is not real. You're just making things smaller on the screen to give it a 2k effect.
That would be like buying a 1080p television and saying you can change it to 2k or 4k. Why wouldn't everyone do that then?
You should go read about the differences between hardware and software.

So change your wording then. People who don't know better keep thinking that you're making the phone have a actual 2K display like the S6/M9+.
You're changing the DPI which can be done with a simple build.prop edit and has NOTHING to do with resolution.

No one is being rude. Your title (and your other post) say that you can change the resolution of the phone. All I'm saying is that that's physically impossible. I'm not attacking you at all. You probably meant change the DPI only.
Also, you kept saying that the screen looks a lot better and videos look more clear. It would be the same as watching 4k movies on a 1080p TV.
If you want to provide facts, go for it. That's the point of this forum. If you know something, you're free to share it.

So you are increasing the resolution but not the PPI here!
How is that even possible?
Changing your DPI will not increase the resolution of your screen.

My apologies, I simply took it the wrong way. And yes you can change the resolution. What you mean to say is we can not change the "Native Resolution" which I never said we were doing to begin with. Again "BIG DIFFERENCE"
And yes it looks better due to the fact of "Chroma Subsampling"

So you don't read all the "TWO" pages in this thread. And you have the nerve to be griping about an compliant/issue .. From what I'm told; XDA is suppose to almost embody of ALL the people that is going to "SEARCH" and "FIND" the "SOLUTION" to their "PROBLEM" / "CONCERN"

Just so you know the problem is starting due to the misleading title of your thread. You are in fact not increasing the screens resolution. You are downsampling in order to trick the GPU into displaying a higher resolution but the quality is simply not there.
When a display has native support for resolutions up to 1080x1920, you can use downsampling to send out a signal which tells your display to output a resolution of 1440x2560. HOWEVER, a typical display with a maximum resolution of 1080p has around 2 million pixels, while a 1440p/2k display has around 3.5 million.
Of course, downsampling does NOT increase the amount of pixels being displayed, that of course is physically IMPOSSIBLE. Your display CANNOT go beyond native display physical limitations determined by the screens ppi. All your method does is simply trick gpu to push fake 1440p resolution to your 1080p display. This cause compression to fit inside the screen. The effect it has is akin to zooming out on a lower resolution picture.
Also as other users posted, and is a 100% correct, you can change dpi through build.prop edit without all this other nonsense.

What are the default for the. M9? Did this and want to go back. It causes some issues with the camera.

Entire video made with Note 9 camera

Hi everyone.
I have spent last 4 weeks to make short video using Note 9 exclusively. The idea was to check how far I can get using mobile phone camera only and get result which would be satisfying for YT or even further. Note 9 seemed to me the best for the purpose. To do so, I sent my Note 9 120 meters to the sky attached to the drone, drowned it in a pond and finally travelled around Yorkshire in UK to get some footage. As a result I just published today video on YT and my main interest is to find out if people can really say difference. I have used Davinci Resolve in post production. Colours are changed slightly to make it look “film like”.
I didn't want to make just moving pictures so there is a story. Don't judge me too harsh however.. I am not an actor.
During the process of filming I have learnt a lot about note 9 camera and I believe I could make much better quality video now. It made me sure that it is possible to make quite serious production
with modern mobile phone if one wish to.
I hope everyone enjoy it.

well... I did. The water wasn't my biggest concern though... My biggest concern was when Note was attached to the drone 120 meters above me... This phone is huge... and made a huge resistance in the air... and because delicate suspension I had to construct and use to eliminate vibrations I was in constant fear it will detach from the drone and .... well ... I don't want even consider what would happen...
I am not very big on YT, so do not expect plenty of views but really appreciate your comment. Thanks

I've done a few videos with the Note 9 so far and have found it to be exceptional.
See here: https://youtu.be/k-15LfCyyNg Including use of all slow motion modes as well. (Gets real dramatic around 4 minutes)
My BIGGEST complaint is the algorithm used for choosing either the telephoto lens or if there's not enough light it uses the wide lens with a sensor crop/digital zoom. In great daylight the telephoto looks just as crisp as the wide, but even the slightest bit of darkness, even pointing it directly at a sunset (seen here: https://youtu.be/jmApdV_P6Hk) and it flips over to the wide with a crop ruining the consistency. As most have noted, this same crap happens in "pro" mode as well.
I really wish in at least pro mode, Samsung would let the creator choose. I can mitigate sensor noise, I can't really mitigate lack of resolution.
Very well done on the film above! I'm impressed. Did you use Filmic Pro or the stock camera app and get the anamorphic crop in post?

Very nice videos of yours.
My idea was to make video with camera settings as they are. So I used original camera app at fully automatic. The only changes I have made were in post production
and I used Davinci Resolve 15 for both - adjusting colours and anamorphic crop.
I agree with you that "pro" mode should be fully pro I have not noticed the problem you described though. I need to check it.
My conclusion is that actually whatever we will say about mobile phone's cameras they are so good nowadays that with a bit of effort everyone can make videos like mine or yours ..

VIVID OR NATURAL Screen mode

Hey guys,
I am a photographer and i want to use the more color accurate screen mode possible.
I would normally utilize natural but the white point looks more yellow then when i am using vivid (could just be because of color contrast vivd provides).
What do you guys think?

The Natural is the most accurate for looking at real-life color -- yes it looks warm but that is because we are used to the other colors.
The DisplayMate review is very lengthy and it explains a lot of this.
