so for me the biggest disappointment next to hearing short battery life on this phone is lack of the option for 1080 recording.
Is it possible for what we know are amazing rom dev's to add 1080 recording or is it a hardware limitation (couldn't possibly understand why it would be)
I originally was in your same boat.
It's possible to add it, but probation glitchy. That's probably why they removed it. The 720p should be true hd by now though.

I actually PREFER 720p for file size and overall performance of the video. Most people can't tell the difference when viewing. This is a small gripe, IMO. But the fact that they lied about it being a typo is pretty large.
What these phone manufacturers NEED to focus on is 720p at 60fps, which should be an option for buttery smooth video.
the Desire launched with 800x480 video and they eventually upgraded it to 720p
they may do the same with the Evo 3D from 720p to 1080p

I can see your POV and benefits, but having the options always nice
afterall if you can record in 1080 no one says you cant still record in 720 to keep things down in size if thats what you want.
but small gripe? I disagree, it was stated to supposed to have it, most if not all of the superphones coming can do it (TMK), and when you have a monitor with a resolution thats over 1080 you def CAN tell the difference between 720 and 1080

Ok so I wanted to see of I can increase my fps on my phone, and I kept testing (no luck at all)... Then I found this and it made me wonder why.... Im X10a and I get 30.303030..... What do X10i get?

Why do you care what the fps is?
It was capped for good reason and leaving it uncapped doesn't improve a thing. 32 fps vs 40 fps, who cares? It's a phone not a gaming machine. You're not going to see any difference and just consume more battery than need be.
Btw, why is this in the Android Dev section??
funny how the human eye can only see about 23 fps iirc. why would you want more?

That's false. Internet ruined your believe.
Human brain can't probably tell if you slip 1 random frame into a 23+ Fps video, but our eye can definitely see the difference between 23 fps and 60 fps.
Our eyes is actually not capped on fps, and our brain can "feel" the difference much higher than 23 fps too.
For example, my eyes need 100 fps to be comfortable if i stare at it very focus.
But, yeah, x10 doesn't need 30fps+ to be useful.
I am looking for system/build.prop last few line from the ics leak. If you can screenshot it that would be great. Also anyone running stock. 173 please do the same. My speeds do not seem to be quite as good on ics as they were and I would really like to check this out.
This is all the way at the bottom

thank you
Here ya go...
And for whatever it's worth, my speeds have increased ~25% with the new build and new radios, and this isn't in the best reception area/with full bars either...
I have NO idea what people are complaining about with this build (not saying this at you, I'm saying it to you) but hardware acceleration, the new kernel, the new radios and a 720p screen resolution make this an almost entirely new phone. Still the thinnest on the market and the fastest too (with overclocking). Now the most up to date as well!
Thank you. I must just be in a bad area

You mean qHD. The phones display doesn't have the ability to push 720p. The resolution is 540 x 960

I'm thinking about buying the maxx version of the razr. But some reviews said, that it has really poor picture quality when taking pictures. So you all own a razr. Is this really the case? Maybe you could post some pictures you have taken with the razr? Is this a hardware problem or will the phone get camera updates to improve the picture quality?

My friends g35 I just took to another buddy to tint all the windows. I rather think the RAZR has a very nice camera. This pic wasn't taken w best lighting in mind. Maybe this helps you but my maxx takes very nice photos
A quick photo I snapped of a fire alarm panel. Terrible lighting.
The picture quality is good. It just doesn't look as vibrant on the phone itself.
On my RAZR in display settings I have the checkbox for save battery dying dimming screen. Puts a light yellowish hue on the screen. Makes it look duller. Maybe you saw a phone w a similar box checked. I dunno. Just trying to be helpful. The camera on the RAZR has the f/2.4 aperture and for me it really shines
Ohh thanks guys that helped me a lot. Especially the picture of the alarm panel seems really nice to me I haven't seen the phone in reality yet. But the battery, oled display, processor etc seem to be really nice, just what I am looking for. I read some reviews of the phone, but they all said, that the camera is the only negative thing about the razr. And after my xperia play, I would like to have a phone, that can shoot quite sharp pictures
Edit: would be nice, if you could post some more pictures, especially with bad lighting etc

I really like the aspect ratio of the nexus 9. however, since i mainly use a tablet for multimedia consumption, i am really worried about how much of the screen is the actual content, and how much is letter boxing. i would really appreciate it if someone would share picture(s) of his nexus 9 while viewing youtube videos,or random scenes of movies using perhaps VLC (or any other advanced player of your choice) at both full screen filling and native aspect ratio.{ And maybe comparison to any other 16:9 / 16:10 display laid side by side containing the same frame. (Just please mention whether the other screen is 16:9 or 16:10).}
Since i am asking a lot within the {}, feel free to ignore it if you want to.
Anything would do.
PS: how many hours of ONLY 720p playback can one get out of a full charge?
PPS: How does the area of the video it compare to other screens 16:9 in the same screen range (7 inch to 9 inch) ?
Thanks
(Edit): Would really help if you would describe how the aspect ratio and letter boxing actually affect the experience. ( Doesn't impose a problem / Easy to ignore / Could be an inconvenience / Usually annoying / Deal breaker )
The bezel + black bars above and below the picture are about equal to the bezels on the left and right of the screen. So basically there is an even black frame around the picture. I'm completely fine with it. Overall, the picture is bigger than on the nexus 7.

This is Gravity on Play Movies on my N9 and N7 2013, not the best picture but you can see the N9 is definitely bigger.
Is there any way to disable the optical image stabilization on an Android device? Preferably S9 as that's what I'm using, not sure if this is a thing that can be done on rooted Android devices?
I'm using it with a full frame fisheye lens as an action cam (like GoPro) with a chest harness and so far it works great, I think the quality is a lot better than GoPro (especially at night) and the lens is wider too, but there's one kind of big problem because it is using OIS and it was not designed for bigger shakes it actually ruins the image for a split second, it seems the OIS shifts the lens out of focus whenever the phone is shaked a bit hard - you can test this with your phone by shaking it forward-up-down and then playing the video back frame by frame, it is very noticeable anyway.
So what I was hoping is that by disabling the OIS (it seems to be controlled electronically and tries to compensate for the shake) it could hopefully maybe fix this, although I'm not very optimistic by this, there are moving parts in the hardware but what I noticed is that if I shake the phone without the camera app open, the camera makes more noise/moves more versus when the camera app is open, so maybe just maybe there is a way to mod the electronic part to hold it into place all the time?
Here is a gif of an example of what happens when you shake the phone, please note that this is not motion blur, but it is actually out of focus when that happens, it is exactly the same result whether I use it in very bright lightning conditions or low.

I was really happy with the results with this phone and the fact that you can edit and share content right away, would be great to solve this problem! By the way I'm using it with a Blackeye Pro Fisheye G4 lens if anyone is curious.
