Hey,
Has anyone noticed that the wallpaper on the Home screen
is a little too stretched?
It's like it's zoomed-in, and it shows only about 80%
of the full picture.
Is there anyway this can be fixed?
Thanks.
I think you need to get out more my friend if this is the kind of thing you notice about your device!
Yeah, I've also noticed this and I think it's a bit annoying. It would be great if anyone have a fix for this!
MY GOD! you're right!
Thank you! you helped me so much!
what have I been doing all these years?!?
Actually, I made a mistake, it's not zoomed-in,
it just has a much lower quality, maybe HTC wanted to boost the tf3d performance.
Anybody else noticed it?
Well , I have the same thing. I have a picture which is quite large (but also decreasing the size didn't work) where only the top of the picture is shown and the picture is zoomed in. The bottom of it is falling of the screen. Maybe there are specific requirements for the wallpapers (size) someone knows of?
Thanks in advance,
Olaf
it's not because the image is shrinked.
the screen resolution is 480x640 so the wallpapers are
the tf3d screen is smaler, due to the bottom and top bar.
in wm6.5 you niticed that the wallpaper fits the hole screen, because the bars are transparent. i also asked the cookers, if it's possible to rewrite it to use it also on wm6.1 but the answer was: no it's not possible, because the homescreen/with menue are different.
your wallpaper must be smaler than 480x640, i don't know the exact resolution, but then it schould be look nice
Wel I have resized it to 338x639, but it still zooms in and so the whole picture is still not displayed. Fortunately, it's a painting of Maria Magdalena by Pietro Perugio, the face is displayed fine. But I would like to see the whole picture. If you have a Diamond HTC, I can upload the attachement so you can try?
i think you only have to adjust the height, not the width, it scales it i assume.. havent tried it though (never noticed it because i use the standard screen )
Wel both horizontal and vertical is smaller now than the 480x640, so that shouldn't be the problem.
I found the following and did changes to the registry. It made my games smooth and very lively !(I am really impressed as I could play - albeit enjoyed - for the first time 'XTRACT')
Found a way to force the graphic driver to show 262K color as 9502 have 262K VGA LCD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416207
But I do not know is thre any harm in doing this? Or does changing BPP value really change colors to 262K? because system information still shows 65K colors but everything else, especially video and games seems to be more vivid and brightand brilliant!
hmmm, dont see much of a difference, but this slowed my device, so i restored the default 16
well last time i read wm6.1 could only handle 65k colors
but if u really want to know if it did something copy some gradient picture files test it in both settings , and there u have it
65k colors should have bad quality when looking at images like this

makes me wonder tho, gradient images are perfect on my x1 when i use them as backgrounds on the today screen, but as soon as i use the same images with the sony ericsson panel, the bad quality shows up

WM has always supported more colors. The fact that spikegotti noticed slowdown is expected:
http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2005/09/07/462187.aspx
can anybody confirm the improved image quality?
also, can you quantify the amount of slow down? is it noticeable
It works for me. Not even slow, maybe response a bit better for me. Image maybe clearer but hard to tell with my busted eyes. I like it.
not noticing much of a difference, I feel that the device has slowed down a bit.
eg. in titanium when i'm scrolling it is a bit laggier than before.
other than that, I think there's a bit of an improvement?
To those who are trying this, look at the gradient image posted above. Before making this change can you see distince changes in color or does it look smooth? How about after? Do you notice a slowdown?
No gradient image not smooth. But other images look fine. I don't know about you guys, but I'm keeping it.
actually, after a soft reset everything's fine.
speed is up to normal, and the image looks nice.
keeping it as well!
hmm if its not slowing the xperia i will give it a try also
I presume more colors = more processor intensity = lower battery life, but perhaps people can report.
Anywho, the high resolution image viewing with HTC Album 3.0 is mad clear. I like it. Thanks, +rep
Can someone try the camera? It seems to response better for me.
i dont see any difference in quality of colour or speed of device
I think some people are imagining things.
The X1 screen only supports 16bit (65K colors), so how in the world is anyone seeing a difference?
Even if the X1 screen supported 24bit color (WM already does), you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 24bit image and a 16bit one, unless you were viewing gradients.
I think there is wishful thinking going on in this thread

do you kno where you are?
this whole forum is for peole who wishfully think that their phones are better than they are and are willing to do anything and everything to make those wishes come true... i.e. flash-a-holics
I can also "Confirm" there is visually a colour dept difference when you choose 18 or 24 bit VS the default.
I will check with one of my mates x1 without this reg change tomorrow to close the seal.
Until then....
you mean I can choose 24 instead of just 18? I went from 16 to 18.. but think of the possibility o.o
Hi,
I just bought a brand new Moto xt 1058 unlocked. There is some strange background on all screens even in the boot screen. You can see some words like " talk more" etc. Does anyone know how to get rid of that?
I made a photo of the screen using another phone. By the way, if I make a screenshot, the background is not seen on the screenshot.
It is not clear on this picture, since the image is compressed. However if it is downloaded and viewed by a photo viewer, you can see some pattern and text in the backround
Are you sure it was brand new? It could have burn in on the screen. Common problem with amoled displays.
Looks like it was a demo unit and the screen burned in there little marketing images...
If you bought the device in the last year I would return it for screen burn in.
I actually realized this since the first day of using the tablet... I noticed that the screen actually got stretched when you set your tablet in landscape mode and squished in while in portrait mode.
I suspect that the OS is running at a wrong native resolution... Does anyone have similar observation?
Yep, me too
I noticed the same issue. Circular icons look especially bad. Funny enough, the tablet on the packaging also has a distorted screen. In Youtube, videos have black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. This shouldn't be the case, as 1024x600 is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and videos are typically 16:9.
Code:
adb shell dumpsys display
contains the following output:
Code:
mPhys=PhysicalDisplayInfo{600 x 1024, 59.670002 fps, density 1.0, 177.209 x 171.115 dpi, secure true, appVsyncOffset -5000000, bufferDeadline 22758840}
Yup, installed luna icon pack and looks horrible. Same as letters in Google keyboard.
I was just getting on to post about this very thing. Here is an image comparison I put together showing a screen shot side-by-side with a photo of the screen:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Z0bpkQXwBFR1djTnJLSGlsTkU/view
According to the images I pulled, the nominal screen resolution is 600x1024, which is also the hardware spec. But the actual image you see is the same aspect ratio as a display with a resolution of 600x1080. This suggests that the display pixels aren't actually square. I tried a couple of resolution changers in the Play Store but they just scale the display without addressing the issue.
I found an old Google Groups post asking about a cheap tablet with non-square pixels, and the answer in 2012 wasn't very encouraging. I wonder if something could be done through an Xposed module?
I lowered the dpi to 150 just to test and same result...

Also, this line from the display dump above similarly seems to indicate non-square pixels:
Code:
density 1.0, 177.209 x 171.115 dpi
Anyone know how to change horizonal and vertical dpi independently?
Apparently the dpi is 160 normally.
You can set it higher and the icons will look less stretched but the dpi seems correct.
Yeah, this is sadly typical in cheap chinese tablets. What really surprises me is that almost nobody talks about this, and most of the people don't even notice it even after pointing it to them
I've also noticed that this screen has what I think is a slow redraw rate (i. e. painting line by line from the top) which cause funky scroll effects, especially in dark backgrounds in portrait. Grab the tablet with the buttons on top and scroll quickly in the Kindle Store and you'll see it
I watched a video on the Fire for the first time, and while this isn't exactly a scientific test, the video did not seem stretched out or distorted to me. I tested with a second video and it too seemed to display with the correct aspect ratio. If so, then that suggests that the display, controller, and drivers are all capable of rendering an image that is not distorted, and that it may be an issue with the rendering of the Android UI.
Up, i would love having a fix for this.
Mine doesnt seem to show these problems? Is it just a some devices problem or am I missing something?

Just got one of the $50 Fire tablets delivered and this is one of the first things I noticed. Look at a circular icon when it's in portrait and when it's in landscape and it's really obvious. I noticed it on the Pinterest icon.
If this really is a hardware issue, I don't suppose there's any way to fix it? If not I'll probably return it and get my money back.

Idk.. I don't really notice it maybe it's just my perspective the seem good to me.
It didn't jump out at me, but yes, the screen is definitely wider than 1024/600. Maybe it is 16:9.
I did notice the weird scrolling. Perhaps it's refreshed in some interlaced fashion?
I've noticed that some people just don't see it. Coincidentally in my case it was the same people that watch 4:3 content stretched in their 16:9 TVs and are happy with it

^^^ This!
The incorrect aspect ratio is really distracting. I hope there's a way to fix it now that custom ROMs are available.
Hey guys! Does anyone else have a problem with scrolling. When I scroll down a page it looks like the left side is scrolling slower than the right. So for example, if you scroll down on a page full of horizontal lines or text, all the text slopes to the right until the page stops. I'm not sure if this is normal because the tablets so cheap or if its just mine?

It seems "normal" for this tablet, sadly:

Can't complaint it's rather solid for it's price imo.
Aghh glad its not just mine then. I'm loving the fire! Though it was going to be rubbish but really surprised!
I've been searching for a similar module and I can't seem to find any, or maybe I'm using the wrong words.
It'd be amazing to have a module where you can control the screenshot quality for example "I have a 1080P screen, so each screenshot is 2 MB", And sending mass amounts of screenshots to someone would take forever, unlike my old Xperia P where screenshots were no bigger than 250kb.
I know that'll affect the quality, but that's exactly what some people need, smaller screenshots, the quality doesn't matter.
Another useful option would be the "full" screenshot, such as in Note series, being able to a screenshot including all the scrollable area, not just what's visible on the screen, like screenshotting the whole website without scrolling through it all in separate pictures, etc.
It'd be so helpful if Someone would point me to a certain tool that does that, thanks!
