Resolution increase posibility - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just started work on my 2.1 set of themes and ive found something interesting the resolution on some of the images has gone from 855(i think)x480 to 1024x480
Can someone with the know how look into the display drivers and see if this is in fact right?

I have also found that the resolution is higher. With the old this status bar, theres was only so many pixels that I can fit into it on my own custom themes, thats why I have no real problem with a larger status bar, although the thin one was elegent.

I opened a mobile phone version of a homepage and fould out that everything is about half the size, so there must be something different with the resolution

What is your browser's default zoom setting? If it's set to far instead of close, you'll get the tiny, unzoomable pages.

The size needs to be 1200x1024 but in landscape mode only the top 600px are shown. in portrait mode everything is shown. that is the problem with wallpapers on android.
There is no way around that unless you resize you picture to 1200x1024 and leave the bottom 424px empty.
Or else use Multipicture live wallpaper but that is a big drain on resources.

Hi,
We haven't been able to figure out how to zoom on our SGP5s either (got several of them)!
So, if anyone knows, please post?
Jim
I can't find it either. In the manual:
4. After taking a photo, touch Image Viewer to view the photo.
While viewing the photo, use these options:
• Pinch the screen or double-tap on the screen to zoom all the way in
or out. For more information, refer to “Pinch” on page 17.
But that's AFTER you take the picture, probably the zoom they were talking about. I gave up and bought Camera ZOOM FX when it was 10 cents the other day. MUCH better camera app!

That app is now $2.99 ... I checked out a couple of others, but none of the free ones I tried, including the one from "mnApps" would zoom .

Hi,
Can you confirm that Camera ZOOM FX can do zoom in preview/taking pictures?
I've been trying a number of other (free) apps, all which say they can support zoom, but none of them work so far.
Also, I found this:
http://www.popcrowd.com/
and the 1/2/2011 posting seems to indicate problems with zoom and the Samsung Nexus S (I'm assuming similar to with the SGP5 and zoom).
Jim
Just got off a chat with Samsung support, and they said that the YP-G70 doesn't support zoom while taking pictures.
I'd still be interested in tcat007's response re. Camera ZOOM FX, and whether or not it can do the zoom.
From what I've found, apparently the Samsung players may have a non-standard API or interface for zoom, rather than supporting the Google API. I'm wondering if the Camera ZOOM FX guys were able to get around that.

FYI, I just got Camera ZOOM FX, and it IS able to zoom with my SGP5 (US/Gingerbread/2.3.5). It auto-detected "Type 2", but wouldn't zoom, so I tried the other types, and "Type 4" works !
So, apparently the SGP5 hardware is similar to (has same problem) as the Nexus S:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272065
Jim
I can confirm Zoom in CameraZoomFX does work. You have to set the Zoom setting on "Type4". It does "act" a little strange. The zoom slider does zoom on preview, but when you take the picture it "appears" to go back to 1:1 (a temporary 1:1 preview). But when you open the image, it is at the zoom ratio you clicked it at.
It also has an "activate shutter sound" check box, when unchecked there is NO sound!
Update: The zoom is pretty much worthless. I just took a shot 1:1, and a shot 6:1. The 1:1 is 2048x1536=3.1mp, 1mb file size. The 6:1 is 178x238=42kp 11.5k file size... not sure how/why it changes the aspect ratio. You're better off taking a 1:1 shot and cropping to what you want to get the zoom (pretty much what digital zoom is anyway).
Thanks to all who have answered up, replied with results from the Market and calls to Samsung support. I suspect that based on Zoom FX's is not actually changing the lens dimensioning but merely doing a zoom on the 1:1 image before it saves the file.
I am not an expert on the cameras, but know there are other Samsung cameras (like the one in my Samsung Epic 4G phone) that have firmware updates to change features like this. Guess we'll have to dig more...
Not meaning to hi-jack my own thread but just trying to register this thing on Samsung's website is a pain! This is a U.S. model ( I hope since I bought it in VA at a Best Buy!) but the Samsung registration wants a model number and model code?? Mine says its a YP-G70 in the Settings > About Device > Model number, but there is no 'model code' listed on it/in it that I can find.
Samsung's registration is asking me if its a Model Code YP-G70CW/PEO, /TTT, /WON, /XAA or /XAX.

Hi,
I just registered mine (US model). It's the /XAA (should be on the box also) one.

how to get wallpaper at proper size (mini pro)?

the screen size of the mini pro is 320x480 and when I download a wallpaper (of the same size) and look at it in with the gallery app, it fits my screen exactly. but when I then want to set it as my wallpaper with gallery, apparently I can only use a part, at maximum half of it as max size? how come? how can I get wallpapers to be properly displayed at their full screen size?
Wallpapers need to be wide enough to cover 3 homescreens - due to the scrolling. It does not scroll more than 3 screens regardless of actual # of homescreens on your phone.
Therefore your wallpaper should be 960 x 480 for full coverage (3 x 320 by 480). Took me a while to work that out myself
thanks for letting me know
but then I wonder why people upload so many wallpapers with just the size for 1 screen?
edit: now Ive read that the best size is actually supposed to be 640x480, because apparently it doesnt move that far when scrolling

Changing resolution blocks screenshots

@duraaraa any info or direction that you can provide on this?
I upped the resolution from stock 1080x2160 to 2160x4320 and left dpi at stock so I can have more screen real estate and still have a comfortable viewing experience. The issue I'm facing now is, I cannot capture a screenshot I get an error.
System UI
Couldn't Capture Screenshot
Screenshots are not allowed by this app or your organization.
steps to reproduce:
up your resolution to 2160x4320 and take a screenshot
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Sorry, don't know. Probably issue related to rooting and the settings you changed.
Thanks for the quick reply but I'm not rooted.

Mate 10 pro panel is only 1080p to begin with,
In what way did you upped the resolution ?? The setting wont give you that resolution option.

uh... well... you already understand that this method is "only faking" the number for the app to think that it run on that size of screen right ? Hardware & stock OS wise, the limitation is still on 1080p
I dont think the system UI app of EMUI 8 itself was made to handle that number
Normal 4K itself is only 3840 x 2160, and i dont think i ever found any phone running 4K+ (18:9)
This is just like asking why sometimes the play store act weird when we change our DPI
So answer is that : because it simply didn't support it
I've done #wm size 720x1280 & wm density 320 to 720p screen for long battery life. and I found the system's screenshot can not take whole screen(720p one).
It looks like the screenshot component take a 480p screen and the same 720p adjusting on AEX 5.x is fine.
so I thought maybe the screenshot on pie still mistake 720p screen for 1080p screen and take a 480p picture(expect: 1080p x 720/1080 = 720p, but now: 1080p x 720/1080 x 720x1080 = 480p)
But I notice that keep wm size 1080x1920, whatever which density(320 480 240)I've set, the screenshot could take a complete screen picture. while I change density, whatever resolution (720x1280, 480x800, 1080x1920), screenshot just take the top left part of screen...
partial screenshot is same condition , take a top left part of what I selected .
the screenshot on different resolution is the last issue I can found on AEX 6.0, which not contain on AEX5.x(maybe this is pie issue but still expect you can fix it) if I don't need change the resolution, the ROM is PERFECT?
can you fix this ?? thxxxxx a lot

Who is gonna fix what? Just use the phone the way its supposed to be used i dont understand what you are doing and why. If anyone, huawei can fix your issue i guess.... good luck talking to them.
You should read this, particularly the long answer near the top which explains the size vs density changes.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...to-use-adb-shell-wm-to-simulate-other-devices
I think this is actually a bug in android pie. My phone has a 4k display, but normally uses HD res unless in gallery app. So I changed wm size and density to match the display (and despite what some other say, this actually changes the visible resolution, IF your display has this many physical pixels).
Screenshots worked worked fine in oreo, but after updating to pie, there are black borders on the picture.

No Huawei phone has a 4k display, this whole thread is a waste of space really, guy setting his phone display to something that is not supported and wondering why his screenshot won't work, damn mate 10 pro is 2160x1080 and can't be any more than that, if the problem was the screenshots not working in a supported mode there might be a reasonable and were but as it stands this thread should be closed and deleted

The whole point of my post was more like: its not a Huawei only "bug", but effects all (or at least most) pi phones with a custom wm size set. Maybe I was beating around the bush too much... :angel:

Hi, have you found any solution for the screenshots when you change the screen resolution? You're right it happens only in pie and with different phones, in oreo the multitasking previews resize when you enter to the app but the screenshots are ok, in oreo the previews in multitask are ok but the screenshot miss a part of the screen.

Display shrink problem

I am including a video link from my google photos Video
Here you can see the display corners and the notch is expanding and shrinking very little after applying a theme or by doing anything related to display overlay such as night mode from developer option! Are you facing the same? If so then it is a bug and we can get a bit bigger screen real-estate!

Yeah I've also noticed it when changing the dpi.
Maybe they've done it for cosmetic purposes. So that the curves are nicer maybe?
