Hi all
2 questions:
1:
Does anyone know how to change the output resolution for the HDMI port on Folio...???
Seems kinda foolish to be running the 1024x600 on a 1080p or 720p cabable output??
2:
Is there any work on dual screen for Android until Gingerbread???
Thanks..

I've seen the LG Optimus 2x which has the same Tegra 2 chip and that device could (according to the videos) switch output between a few different resolutions amongst them 720p and 1080p... So I think it's possible hardware wise at least.
Update: If you look at this clip from CES (I think), you will see that the LG Optimus 2x has an application which can set the output resolution. Perhaps this application is usable on the Folio as well.
It's a bit odd for a device to push 1024x600 resolution out of its HDMI...

Is there anyway to get a tv out from the Folio w/o the docking station which is not sold in my country.
how about through the HDMI output?
LOL I am such an idiot

The HDMI Out is really cool. I can play Flash with Skyfire browser or the Youtube app on my 42" LCD tv. Wait till I try Angry Birds. Too bad Folio can't output Full HD.
If you start an 1080p movie it is still 1024*600? Or switches the resolution?
No HD resolution at the moment but I read someone is trying to hack the tegra driver to enable higher resolutions

HDMI on ICS
Hi I'm very pleased with finally running ICS on my folio and for the first time mkv files are playing as they should thanks to MX Video Player and this great rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1470823
But I cannot get the Hdmi to work and I can't find any settings for it, do you have to download something to make it work or how do I enable hdmi output?
Thanks

Someone have tested the HDMI out with ICS 4.0.3 ROM?

Isnt there a possibility to get the Xperia x10 Mini Pro to capture videos in High Definition 720p?

Sorry, but no, it happens because of your hardware, x10 mini Pro camera is very good, but still not enough to capture in HD. Fox example my friend has X10 and its 8.1mP so he spoke me he can capture in HD. Its because of his camera (8.1 )

It's because our phone don't have the power to encode video in HD the camera resolution have nothing to do with video recording.
For example some tablets (xoon) or phones (galaxy R) have 5mp camera and record video in HD.

Sorry for my ignorant answer
VGA 640x480 is the highest possible.
As it has been said before, the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro simply don't have enough power to encode video in 720p and higher.
Just an idea... What about saving the raw video stream and encoding it on a pc... (yeah i know it takes a lot of space.)

Not sure what class of sd card you'd need, but the mb/s could still be greater than even class 10 could handle! HD raw is a lot of bits a second.

most probably no
to check just play a 720p(mp4) on arcmedia ,it lags alot
i think it might be possible to record vid on lower framerate(15 or lower)...
Edit1
it has nothing to do with megapixelzz eg:web cams have 2mpx with 720p
For me, X10mini & mini pro is enough powerful to record 720p because many less powerful Samsung or other featured phone can record HD. Also camera does not matter cause iPod touch has a VGA camera which is capable to record 720p at 30FPS. It is just about kernel & camera driver. It is not impossible but may be it is very difficult.

I think you are missing something....by power, i assume, u'r tryin 2 point 2wards "processing" power????...were did you find a cell with less than 600Mhz processing power and YET encoding 1280X720 videos???????!!!!!!!!!....it is just plain impossible......can u site any example to prove me wrong, please??????

is there any video player which plays 720p videos??
My media player only uses a 400mhz processor and 256mb RAM and can encode HD video from either DVB (already encoded to be fair) or analogue RGB input... However, the processor is geared towards media processing, in fact it was built to do that and that alone, if it was asked to render a simple vga 3D game it would probably output 1fps if anything at all!
Some processors are designed for specific tasks which they can do remarkably well, others are design to do many things but not quite as well. Software does play a mighty big part but it cannot overcome the constraints of the hardware in question.
Maybe other phones with HD recording have an inbuilt subprocessor or utilize functions inherant in Arm 7 but not Arm 6.. it might be possible to emulate the functions but the results might not be great.

ITS very very very difficult
but nothing is imposible
see this:::

I don't think that processing power is the limitation here for higher quality recording. This is what SE used to say for froyo or gb and it's plain crap proven repeatedly.
The problems are:
a) the sensor, i.e. is it capable of higher res. for video recording? 5mpixels are more that enough for 720p (i.e. like the N1) but there's more than the mpixels in the camera sensor to be able to do more.
b) we don't have kernel support for anything more than VGA. And this is sensor specific. If we ever got lucky and another msm7x27 device used this sensor and had better resolution we might have been able to investigate if it's usable.
c) we can't load custom kernels (this stops any other thoughts for the time being).

My friend, by the term "powerful" I meant the processing power too. If it is possible with Omnia HD's 600MHz then it is possible with 600MHz too. I have modded my old Motorola E2 which have a 1.3MPx camera & now I am able to record 720p at 17Fps with that. I just worked with kernel, because E2 runs linux & android is also using linux kernel I think it is possible. I am currently working on that. Let me see If I can prove you wrong

buddy,dats da key point....we cannot yet load custom kernels
nd of omnia hd, or n8 or SE vivaz....dey r symbian. symbian is a lot "lighter" os dan android but as sed, processin power is not actually da problem....lets keep fingrz crossd
now that we have kernel support.. is HD video recording possible??
did a search, no threads related. Does anyone know? The Mali sure must be able to handle at least 1920x1080 right? Why I ask is because I see a lot of potential in ubuntu for android and really hope it will come to the SIII, or something similar, but 1280x720 on an external screen doesn't give you that much work area.
I'm missing my source but I've read its 1080p.

its 1080p
yeah i guess it is 1080p at least. MHL adapters can atm only do 1080p when playing video. Mirroring is in the same output as the phone screen resolution, normally 800x480 or 1280x720 with the htc one x and galaxy nexus and probably galaxy note.
I really hope that it in the future will be possible to use external display only on phones, i.e. not mirroring, cause with 4 cores you have a descent desktop computer in your pocket.
Hi there,
I'm looking for the cheapest Android phone with HDMI output I can. It seems to be the Neo, but I hear bad things about the output only being at about 480p and looking poor when upscaled on TV.
Is it possible to increase this with a custom ROM?
If not, can anyone recommend a similarly cheap phone that outputs at 720p?
Hoping to use phone for UPnP with my TV.

The output is in 720p (1280x720), not 480p.

HDMI works only on stock ROMs, as Sony didn't release the HDMI source code for devs
Hope I helped!

Hey buddy, you can get an Xperia P
It's a medium-range phone like Neo, has Dual Core processor and HDMI output
It's not the cheapest thing out there, but it's not as expensive as a SGS3 or a Xperia S and has some decent hardware.

So, I updated to ICS and wanted to try out webtop on my HDTV via a micro HDMI cable I bought, it gets into webtop just fine but the issue is that it is at 600x800 resolution and I can hardly read the words, the resolution option in display settings is also greyed out so I cannot change the resolution, this also happens with mirror mode, is it a hardware related issue? I'm on the stock pshasiaretail ROM with root access.

Hi ahzhang,
I've notices the same 'issue'. The resolution is far far away from fullhd.
Unfortunatly i think there is nothing we can do about it.

Seriously? I remember seeing on moto's forums that this can output 1080p or 720p, I have also got it to 1080p once, not sure how I got it to work but it was sure damn full hd
I have tried too. I was able to enable the resolution menu and to set full hd 1080p.
But even if the final resolution is 1080p the phone starts with a very low resolution and the interpolates it to 1080p and sends it to the tv.
So I cannot see real 1080p photos or video or webtop.

Ciao Marco
With the Razr/Razr maxx we are in the same situation: webtop 3.0 is locked to max 1280x720. When I select 1920x1080 on my native FullHD 22" (same display I use for my home pc) I got a upscaled 720p->1080p which looks worst than when I select 720p (less blury)
