Hello everybody, if someone wants to try, with this app is possible to reduce screen resolution to full hd.
NOMone resolution changer. (root)
Benchmarks are clear: 2k vs full hd:

Yes it improves graphics performance in benchmarks but it doesnt effect games. Cuz pretty much all games support 1080p most so games already has performance improvement without anything.

Ok. I understand. I edit tittle post. Android seems to be more faster with this resolution. Recent apps loads faster comparing to 2k resolution.
I try a few days.
If I could make a slight correction, 2k is technically 1080.
4k and 2k refers to the largest of the two resolution values; 3840 x 2160 gives us 4k (3840 is approx 4000) and hence 1920 x 1080 gives us 2k (1920 is approx 2k)

Yes it can affect ui performance more than games. Ui has higher res. If you set everything to lower res cpu and gpu wont have to work hard like they are on 2k res.
This works man

Mathematically I see no flaws in what I just said; what don't you understand?
So 1440x2560 (3,7mln pixels) is same as 1080x1920(2mln px) "technically"?
in the real world, lowering the resolution from 2k to 1080p would give a big improvment in performance and battery life.
however after finding out about this trick a few weeks ago and reading more about it- the difference in battery life is negligible as the screen still powers the extra pixles, however the only difference is that the gpu doesn't have to process them.
you can use it for the extra score in antutu, but it doesn't give you much as apart from that..I haven't encountered a game/app/anything since my S4 that lagged. and especially not on my note 4.

No; if we are being pedantic, 4k should be called 3.84k and 1080p should be called 1.92k.
However, if we round 3.84k to 4k then we should clearly round 1.92k to 2k.
QHD is actually 2.56k, although that's too far from 3k to round up and too far from 2k to round down. MKBHD discusses it in his video "Oppo Find 7 Rant!" - http://youtu.be/E0_JrUNevdc

I've still got my hopes up for a lower resulotion M9. I've got Note 4 and G3 and don't see the need really. The G3 with its to slow gpu was a miss compared to G2 in my view.

Could've sworn such things come down to the camera sensor, not the CPU :silly:
If the possibility was there, I'm pretty sure Sony wouldn't be hiding it away
However, the preview in the camera is actually 60FPS... so... I don't know, maybe the preview isn't as demanding as actually recording with 720p+, on 60fps.

I always thought it was just a software bug since I had a Z1 (borrowed) and it only was able to capture [email protected] and [email protected] too. Since the S4 and Z1 have similar specs and the same image processor (if i'm not mistaken) and is better than the HTC One, I'm certain it isn't a hardware limitation but more of a software flaw..

Sorry but no. Encoding in 60 FPS, even if it actually does anything, doesn't mean capturing in 60 fps. I tried out the app (which is just the ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.fps setting set to 60, Im afraid) and the video was still 30fps.
Ok, I understand.

If you observe closely in the link below , the Asus uses same processor as XPeria Z or ZL. which records 720P videos at 60 FPS.
http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_padfone_2-5017.php
So i dont think its limited by processor. its missing libraries to perform the same thing.

Yeah.. Was wondering why people were telling me its a "hardware limitation" when even the Z1 (which btw, has really good hardware) isn't coded to capture 720p @ 60fps.

Sony "flagship" devices in a nutshell.
Sony already offering this feature with "Timeshift Video" camera addon I think it would work on Z too, though not sure about 4k
YouTube just updated! Features new Lollipop Ui, and 1440p, on screen controls while in full screen (fixed now), and optimizations! Recommoeded that you try this!
Download link for update: http://download1209.mediafire.com/p...om.google.android.youtube_6.0.11_60011301.apk
Great update. Pounced on it as soon as I saw the android police article. Everything is running smoothly now :thumbup:

Agree, works on stock rooted ROM. Don't know why potatomanwrl is having difficulty unless he is not searching for
and watching 2k/4k video or changing the video quality settings to 1440p?
I'm not rooted, but I did search for and find 2k and 4k videos, when I try to change quality, 720p is max offered. I'm also using the T707A. So maybe it just won't work yet for my device.

Well it might be your model? Is your tablet from att? I never though that some LTE devices could have issues having quality changing. But it could be just your model tablet having issues.
I'm on the Verizon (807V) variant and it seems to max out at 720 as well ... Kind of annoying

SM-T800 here... been on this version of YouTube since last night about 8:00.... 1440 works like a champ... so glad to have full screen controls back again... material design looks pretty sweet too :good:
Works fine on tab s. I installed this apk on Note 4 and unfortunately max resolution is still 720p...
great thanks
for some reason videos finally seem smoother with this version of Youtube
now to get Netflix etc to be smooth on Android - the frame drops/lags do my head in - wheras our 2 Ipads (even the Ipad 3) are smooth as silk with same content
Finally 1440p YouTube!!! Thanks so much, works perfectly on my tab s 8.4

I never seemed to have any problems with Netflix either no lag or anything same with Youtube at 1440p
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I could watch 1440p already with the old version? But it's cool, that the buttons are visible again.

ref smoothness - how strange - I get judders/frame drops in pans, sometimes in sudden movement etc as well - in particular with Netflix but seemingly with most streaming "flash" content
yet "local" 1080p content is smooth as silk
I've tried connecting via 5G as well as normal N to no difference
its not the network connection - buffer fine - and Ipads streaming from same router
just in comparison the Ipads video is much smoother in frame rate - perhaps its something that some people notice and others not - because as I said I get the same issue with my Exynos Tab S as I do with my Snapdragon 800 Note 3 - in fact in some films on my Note 3 (Transformers was one) - the break-up was bad enough to cause a glitch in the sound - if you rewound - you'get the same breakup in same place every time - yet not with IOS - it was almost like the CPU or GPU maxing out - I tried forcing 2D GPU etc settings in developer options to no avail
YMMV I guess

Hi. First of all i search all the forum but couldnt find any solution. As i mentioned Daily usage and gaming became a burden for me. Frankly im suprised that choppy behavior. My brother has HTC m8 and we compared both devices and i lost all of the games
with HTC m8 there is no lag in games and scrolling and browsing the internet, but with note 5 gaming and scrolling is a big issue for me and im really dissappointed. Any help appreciated thanks.

Choose Custom and configure your games like: Resolution: Low(720p) and fps: 60 and launch your games from the Game Tuner app. Should be better!

Make sure your device is up to date. Try running antutu benchmark and compare your score! Something appears wrong with your device.

Now that's a lot of testing Pretty sure the scores look normal although I don't know the last ones, but you can always compare.
I'm pretty sure it's the games you're playing. They're probably not yet optimized for the Note 5. Ask their developers!
Or I guess your gaming needs are too high for this phone! An iPhone 6S or a Nexus 9 might give you a better gaming experience although the Note 5 is still a fantastic gaming device!

I lower the resolution to save battery and put less stress on the GPU, and I lower the DPI to make UI elements smaller because of the available screen real estate. I know if I go back to stock it would fix it, but I just want to know if anyone has a quick fix for it.

it DOES NOT save battery, actually might use a little more. all the pixels are still being used. that means, its still using the battery, the same amount, at least. i use my n6 at full resolution, and get 5-6 hours sot. no battery hacks btw.

Well yeah all the pixels are still being used, but (at least in theory) the GPU would not have to render the extra pixels, similar to how you get better performance in a game if you go down from 1080p to 720p. If it doesn't save battery then at least I'm getting better performance right?

there are certain numbers that you can use where everything will be fine, and all other numbers, that can create issues. i dont remember what they are.
Default setting - FHD.
I changed that to max setting.
Why Samsung decided not to use full screen potential in default settings? Can I expect bigger battery drain?

Yes, it will actually drain more. A good way to know how much you can save being on fhd. Set to max, then go to battery settings and choose any of the other two battery saver mode, next to each"setting" it should show how much time you save if those are toner off. It should show screen resolution, Bluetooth, background data, brightness, and more.
I use that only as a reference to see how much juice I can size based on the settings I have turned on.
Thanks.
Just did some comparison of different saving modes changing screen resolution and in my case FHD saves 7 minutes of battery time compared to WQHD.
So it doesn't make sense using lower resolution. It saves some battery but not that much to sacrifice the main part of the phone (the gorgeous screen).

Well when you factor in screen brightness, that 7 minutes can jump to 45 minutes easily depending on if you're going outside and such. In my Note 8i used to run fhd with a 445dpi. Smooth and crisp and looked like wqhd as much as possible.
I've never seen a noticeable difference on my Note 8. Ran it for a week on mid level resolution, saw no difference in battery life so I turned it back up to the highest resolution. Each to their own, but I don't think the difference is enough either way. Run the one you are most comfortable looking at for icon and text size.
Anyone know why Samsung lowered the dpi compared to the n8?

Was thinking they'd be increasing it for VR sakes?

Note8 screen size 6,3 inch, note9 - 6,4 inch.
A bit bigger display, same resolution like old 1440p makes this insignificant difference

I changed that to max setting.
Why Samsung decided not to use full screen potential in default settings? Can I expect bigger battery drain?View attachment 4577833

It's done to prevent battery drain. Increasing it to full resolution won't make any noticeable difference in image quality. As far as battery drain it's really hard to say. The display will always be displaying the full 2960x1440. It really a matter of what uses more power: 1. Having the GPU render all the possible pixels or 2. Have the GPU render fewer pixels but have to upscale the image to the full 2960x1440. I'd be surprised if the difference was really that big. Although to squeeze as much battery life out as I could I'd probably set it to FHD just to squeeze out as much as I can. The full resolution is a waste anyways.
