[Q] optimus 2x and hdmi issue

hi folks,
i am considering getting one for my job, but i need the phone to be able to run the application "LAYAR" and broadcast it on a big screen via the hdmi out.
can you please check if it works, can t find any info about the hdmi out, if it s like galaxy s, the tv out stop if you launch the camera.
thxx for your help
Not a problem at all However on my 42" it looks a bit grainy due to the app resolution.. But works fine..
It works finely even though if you turn on Camera. What you see on O2X will be seen on TV
thxxx a lot!!
if one of you can record me a vidéo about the layer "layar augmented office" would be very very very awesome!
don t think i ll be able to score an optimus 3d before june :/
I can say that it works But I'm too lazy to do a vid of it
Works fine here at 37"

Phone Tachometer for Helicopter

Hi all, Got a Desire HD and a radio control helicopter (Trex 500).
Would like to be able to look at the heli in flight with the camera (in video mode is ok) and see what speed the rotors are spinning at.
All that's required is a method of adjusting the camera shutter speed while pointing at the heli until the blades look stationary. (Maybe use the volume rocker for adjustment)
Also a little routine to put the revolution figures on screen.
The heli blades should spin at about 2700rpm but for a wider variety of helis, would like to read a range from about 1900 to 3200 rpm.
A shutter harmonic frequency could be used as I dont think the shutter can operate at these speeds.
There are units available that use this method... But the mobile phone with camera already has the hardware needed. Just need a little bit of programming, I'm guessing.
If anyone can help i'm sure there would be a lot of interest from various fields....
Feedback on the idea welcome.....

play a hd video & poor 3gp version of same video before & after applying patch.. it actually increases float frames per sec.. which helps inc. frames, noise canclation & quality. The noise canclation thing might not visible accuratly because of the poor 256k colour display units but you would notice a significant difference by hdmi out... full hd..
yes its surely workin'..
Actually this stuff is little deep than its name..
our cpu soc is actally divided into sections.. including video encoding,decoding channels,pipelines or whatever they call them.. the video playback & similar stuff is actally handled by these channels.. this follow a certain statergy... This statergy is the bravia engine which is diversed & better than the stock android statergy
Before- More Dependency is on cpu than on gpu
After- Reversed :O
So Don't ask again the same silly questions
installed .... may be found little diff ...... is there any way to kno if brabia is working
Thought by an mi 410 user frm punjab
will try it out ...

Over the DHD section, Lordclockan mention that this works as a tweak on the native SE display that supports it. On other device(s) he said it gives placebo effect only.

Lordclackan is respected personality..
but i don't think there is any placebo effect psychology in this case coz' i have read gsmarena blog.. there nothing special in those displays..
every company says their there stuff is exclusive to them always, make their ®™ & bla bla.... but this not true in each case & these are just marketing stunts... or you can say that bravia engine is a placebo effect psychology, they are not even there on actual se xperia 2011 devices they are just pushing their customers into a placebo psychology...
This is just a statergy..and yes i have stated that this might not visible on our devices coz' of poor contrast & 256k colour display...
but shows diff. by HDMI.. & they don't have HDMI LOL!!!
Frankly, I want to believe that this really works on X6
I have put a DHD and a X6 side by side. Be it that DHD's LCD is bigger, but then it's easy to tell that X6 really gives better images on it's LCD. Pixels are tighter and smoother.
So, aside for the advantage of HDMI, I think X6 will do show improvements on it's display when using this mod.
Have faith..

LG Optimus 2x or Atrix 4g or Nexus S

Hi all,
I recently broke my dell streak, and looking for a new phone now...
I can't make my mind betwenn optimus 2x, atrix 4g and nexus s, thought will get your input on this.
I am ok with rooting and loading custom rom... may be not changing the screen of the mobile that's how I broke the streak
I am hoping all three phones I am looking at will have decent performance. I am looknig for a mobile with a decent video recording capablity and decent battery life. I read some of the threads here and looks like some of the members are unhappy about their camera.
What you think about LG optimus 2x camera? do u think its better than Atrix 4g ones? I guess Nexus is totally out of picture...
What would be your choice?
Thanks in advance for your help
O2X hands down.
CM7+latest kangs and you are flying!
I had the same deal, and i finally get the o2x and it rocks!!! Even in Stock is awesome!
I am with oleg1981, the 2X fly and have great developers.
Get de Atrix de o2x has inferior build quality and if it wasn't for developers constantly working hard at tweaking here and there it wudve been a really sad phone but whatever yu decide yu will enjoy it because of the great support from developers

Hi all,
Thanks so much your input. Just wondering if you have any comments regarding tht camera quality? I read some threads where they were complaing about the quality of the camera your thoughts on that will be really helpful.
Cheers
The camera is great
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
The camera is great if you are running a ROM based on the stock LG software. It's not that great when running on CM7 due to loss of frames when recording video in low light.

Hello!
Camera is ok if you use it in good light conditions and in short distance with the flash. It isn't very good when used in dimmed/low light or twilight.
BTW: CM7 camera is ok now. As now almost everything is working well on Cyanogenmod 7 with custom kernel (even all sensors) - but only the FM radio - that is working much better with stock based custom roms.
I can't say much in comparison to the cameras of the Atrix or the Nexus S.
The camera of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is definitely much better though.
But there are test about that (concerning camera quality) available on the internet - as a German yoke says ask the nice Indian (internet with Saxon dialect tongue = "Inder nett" )
The Atrix by the way sounds very good on paper (more RAM, faster CPU) and should be a really decent phone too - but it is a little bigger - IMHO the LG O2x has the right size - didn't want a bigger phone with more than 4".
True the camera is better than it was before (brightness has improved). I still miss the full frame recording of the stock rom.

Hi all,
Thanks very much for your replies. Its been really helpful. I am going to pick one up this weekend...
You should choose between Atrix and 2x, Nexus S is single core...the past now.
My advice is 2x.

And who cares? I don`t have the time to read all 5000 pages of the official overbloated ics thread to read 1 useful post after 500 trash-posts...sometime it is good to export some info where it can be read directly with a good title, so good job to the OP!
Bleh...deleted...
I don't really see why you guys are giving the poster such a bad time for this, the post made by galaxyfitankit (see post #3 in this thread) makes me want to drown myself. In my own pee. It's almost like he doesn't know what the "Enter" key does.
Eventhough the info here is not very original, it's posted in a more readable way
Also, galaxyfitankit's post was #4498 in the ICS thread, who the hell is going to browse through all these posts just to find it? So yeah...
So no news on the update?

According with the author of the topic, I'm happy that someone has some news more detailed... But..
Ok it's huge update, but why they doesn't deliver a major update with all but quick memo? Maybe they so can release another one with quick memo when it's ready and maybe also they can check more directly how the update is working and doing the correction for some bugs that can come out...
My opinion is a major ics update, and then another minor with quick memo... Just to let us fell better with their past mistakes...
