Hi,
i wonder why the nexus one has no native youtube resolution?
If i upload a native vid (high quality) to youtube it always gets reformatted and looks pretty ugly. Like bars at the side of the vid or a lot of bricks...
Also youtube says it prefers videos with index at the beginning.
How do i convert a video from my N1 to get the best quality on youtube with ubuntu 9.10
Thanks!
I'm planning to upgrade from my X10 to one of these 2 phones, Sensation XL and Galaxy S II.
My uses are chiefly listening to music (mostly house & trance music), web browsing with no plugins, taking photos, ROM flashing and casual gaming (I don't play big fat games like GTA III but a sucker for casual ones like Fruit Ninja and Game Dev Story).
Currently I'm leaning towards the XL for:
- Its screen (4.7inch, a bit low resolution means that the keyboard and fruits are bigger, not to mention I'm an avid hater of the super AMOLED screen)
- Better sound quality (heard that the S II's sound quality isn't good and I never use EQ)
- Better build quality (S II is too plasticky, and I just love the aluminium back/sturdiness of the XL body)
- My girlfriend is planning to purchase a Sensation XE
But the S II takes advantage of:
- microSD slot (my music is all 320kbps MP3, 6-10 minutes long/track)
- Better specs
- More ROM/tweaks/mods (at the moment)
Which one should I choose?
i know this one,ive just come from s2,s2 is fast as lightning,its like a lamborgini,games were awesome and smooth,if its pure speed you want then this is your best option.XL isnt as fast,its a bit more refined like a Bently,if its quality and a big screen you want then XL is ideal,depends if your not concerned about no sd card slot but the galaxy nexus has that problem to but if your like me,i dont listen to every single song i have in a day and i have over 40gb of music but i just did what i did when i had an iPhone,just swap and change.Sound quality is far better than the s2 and with a free set of beats aswell music sounds out of this world and as your trance fan,trust me when i say energy52-cafe del mar and alt+f4 - alt+f4 sounds outa this world.Screen wise,that big S-LCD is great when watching movies,youtube and browsing.Loudspeeker is a bit on the low side,not as load as the s2 but nothing DSP manager or audiobooster cant sort out,battery,they are smart phones and they will drain so dont expect more than a day then if it last longer youll be surprised but a thew tweaks here and there and there's more juice and for Rom development.....................................its just the beginning.not as big as s2 or HD2 just yet but give it a month or two and development will start flying.thats my review on both

hmm...i'm thinking of fixing the 16GB (8GB user data usable) thing with unlimited 3G and Spotify. if the XL can last for ~18 hours of usage with ~3-4 hours of 3G Spotify streaming then i may go for it. how's the battery life of S II btw?
before it had an unfortunent accident it lasted a good 16 hours but depended what kernel you were using.i think in terms of battery they weigh up equilly.s2 has a 1650mAh battery but is duel core with a 4.3 inch super amoled + screen,XL has a 1600mAh battery but has a 4.7 inch screen however its only single core so cpu uses a little less power but you can get Mudgen 2000mAh battery which in theory should give you more life but as a music fan,i prefer the XL over the s2,my second option wouldve been the XE but for now,im sticking with the XL
On Christmas eve (24th)
switched from SGII to XL mostly because I missed the Sense widgets after copping with the SGII lack of these latter for over 6 months
SGII lacks widgets (the few stock one are just bleh) and the ones from the market do not always have the quality and the settings from the HTC ones.
* Web browsing is a better experience on XL simply because of the bigger screen
* Music sounds better on the XL, + the EQ is simple & effective
* Loudspeaker is louder on SGII but better placed on XL
* Gaming is the same on both devices (both run any big game)
* Build quality is great on both, SGII is so (too) thin that you might wanna use a case (SGP Ultra Capsule) to have the feeling that you hold it safely
*The cold feeling of the aluminum XL back is great
* Power button is better placed on SGII because of the size of the phone, XL ? its just dumb ... but you can use the volume one with RCmix3D rom !
* SGII camera is overall better, XL takes good pictures outdoor but indoor at night just doesn't cut it, although you can use HDR Camera+ to add a certain appeal to them, the settings and filters on XL are a very nice touch, on the video side the XL is honestly horrible compare to the Galaxy...
* Storage is sadly & obviously weak on the XL, when you plug it in mass storage you get 8.88Gb of total storage to put your music, photos, movies & big games data (Gameloft). Depending on how many tracks you intend to keep with you on the go, you should as you said turn to Spotify or Google Music (which i use)
* The appeal of the XL comes from the very complete HTC Software and the near perfect screen size for viewing multimedia content
* The SGII modding scene and accessory market is big but if you are not bored with HTC sense and you dont want to go look for 3rd party apps and widgets add this or that feature, i'd say go for the XL.
so, how do the touchscreens on the XL and GS2 perform?
Hey i suggest the s II my cousin have it and i gotta say the display is great , the camera isn't bad at all , sound quality however on speaker was soso idk about headphones
For the plastic body it feels great IMO its so light and thin and the performance was outstanding all homescreens loaded whit widget , and live wallpapers running no lagg whitout using task killer
Quite dissapointed whit the battery its almost the same as the x10 the mAh is 1650 and you can get a little bit more then the x10 probably more whit custom roms and kernel
Nothing personal against htc just that they make thick,heavy phones and the design is soso :/ but the built quality is great camera does the job and it runs sense which is really cool even tho it takes ****load of ram !

i have and its no different than a sensation. beats audio being the different. screen 4.3 but too narrow so it seems smaller. duo-core 1.5 chipset works a treat and beats audio does what its supposed to.
BUT just love this XL man. screen size is just right for me and i dont see any visual performance improvements between the duo-core or single core chipsets. XL reminds me of the TP2 when it came out just a really refined device. also have a sgs2 which is just so fast and smooth but let down by samsung touchwiz crap. its lightweight and doesnt feel that bad in the hand. choice depends on you, the user TBH. if you want pure speed and power then SGS2 but if you want something a bit more refined with music software to blow your mind then XL. for me sensation or sensation xe are better for dev work

The beats audio hardware acceleration only works when you play music locally from the music player, not with spotify even if you sync the music to play offline unfortunetly

actually IDGAF about Beats...I never use EQ but clean output directly from the device with a 3rd party headphone (in my case, Sennheiser HD-25 1 II)

okay, my XL is coming in a few days. in the meantime, can anyone tell me how can I revert back to stock ROM after I've flashed bindroid/rcmix3d ROM?

Got my N7 yesterday and just loving everything about this tablet but one thing that's bugging me is how crappy the album art looks in the stock music player and I know for a fact all my music album art is 1000x 1000 in size so just wondering is anyone else having this problem or has anyone found a way to fix this problem ?
I am having the same issue..it is very annoying all of my album artwork is HQ as well!
Mine looked really bad yesterday, today they're fine. There was an update to the app that popped up today, don't know if that fixed it or what.
Google music is known to have awful album art, if it even finds it.

Not a fan of the new look for the stock player either the focus on a single song is gone and focuses more on a playlist / queue look thanks to the Nexus Q but hopefully they fix that.
Probably because the Google Music Player app is ugly as sin.

Kinda reminds me of what Google Drive does with my video files. I put an HD video on there and it compresses it down to a postage stamp size that is unrecognizable.
The funny thing is if you put it in landscape and view "recent" the album art looks really nice and high res, then I click on one and play it and in now playing it looks horrible and blurry.
Hey Guys
I got my HTC One a few days ago, coming from a Nexus 4.
While i was doing research on this phone before i bought it, i saw a video clip on YouTube, where some people were at a party and recording a fire show. They then edited the video and slowed down just the part with the fire. I cant find that video anywhere nor can i remember how to do it.
Guess what i'm asking is how do you put a section of a video in slow motion?
Regards

Doesn't work for me on 4.2.2
Slow Motion = Low Resolution
I saw that HTC video doing a slow motion video of a man doing fire/flame stunt. Actually I was amazed and got excited that I wanted to try that Slow motion feature on my own with something else like... a sprinkler maybe.
So I found one at a park and as soon as I started shooting the video (slow motion video under video settings) WTH!!!! The resolution dropped to something like 768x432 and its a bite pixellated, not true HD (1080p) which I thought I'd expect just like from the HTC video... Yes you can trim/edit the video that's cool but I was hoping for 1080p HD quality
I hoped HTC would come with an update that can maximize its camera features up to 1080p resolution. oh well..
