Ive always noticed that when I take a pic, and then look at it in gallery, I never get the pic I just took, ie its like a thumbnail of it. I often take a quick snap of writing or lists etc, but this low res version sometimes makes it very hard to see.
I also remember when I was trying to show off the screen, id take a 4mb nat geo pic, try and zoom in, and it looked like ****e really quickly because it was taking a thumbnail.
Do you think its possible with the resources available our phones would smoothly be able to handle the high res [or if not a higher res] version of the gallary?

I think if you wait long enough it renders the higher res thumbnail but it takes awhile. I could be wrong though, haven't really gone into the gallery much.

For the sake of the thread, is there anyway to prioritize this action or make it run in the background so the higher resolution images are preloaded to avoid having to wait?

This, but I was sure on my original stock it never did the original res, because i couldnt read text zoomed in on phone but could non zoomed easily when i got the original file off easily.

I agree
The new Gallery3D app came with froyo increased the res but it is still not full as the original pic.
Those whose says it is, please download the photos to your computer and compare.

Hence my unableness to read text ive taken a picture of, when the actual pic is perfectly fine. I dont might having to toggle super high res mode, or waiting longer etc, I just want to be able to zoom in with original quality.
Not sure if it views it in hi-res but I have noticed that Astro views it a bit better and loads it faster as well. Perhaps give it a try and see if it help at all..
B&B Multi Touch Gallery was working for me to view full resolution, but I feel like it's been abandoned and probably isn't worth buying. Really wish the built in gallery could get it's **** together. Wish they had an options menu with the ability to reduce visual effects to improve picture loading speed and quality.
Just got my N1.
Does it record in 720p or is that a feature only available through root?
I'm on FRF91, thanks!

I think you need to root and load a different ROM. Try CyanogenMod. Search is your friend!
At this second no N1 on Froyo records 720p, theres a bit of trouble porting it. But yes, you would have to root to get it when its release.
I too prefer the default gallery to get its **** together, as its the one which is always there, and the one linked to camera.

Now that we've got root (yay!)
The LCD density seems rather low- I'm coming from a Dell Streak 5, and it seems the icons and fonts are quite a bit larger.
I can't fit as much on the Note's home screen as I could on my Streak's homescreen, despite being both larger and higher resolution.
Which density settings are "safe" to try with minimum risk of causing market issues?
Interesting, most people lower the density. I have no idea what it is on the note now but 240 and 320 are safe

Yeah, I know, it's odd.
My old Streak 5 would comfortably fit all the widgets I use and icons. The Note, however, despite having the same number of rows and columns defined, has overlap. Also, the BW clock skin I use has to be sized physically larger than it is on the Streak, otherwise it gets cut off. Fonts seem much larger, too.
Granted, it makes it easy to read, but I honestly expected MORE screen real estate- not less.
Note uses 320. I set mine to 240 and everything seems ok. The keyboard does still seem a bit large, but ok. Also the default browser is broken a bit as well as the phone app. Keypad is off and browser tab page is messed up along with address bar.

I've got mine at 280 now. Same dialer issue. Using Swype for input, so no issues there. I use Opera so the browser isn't an issue.
Haven't hit any market issues yet, but haven't tried downloading anything either.

320. Which I believe the largest common value supported by android.
thanks! I tried 240 and messed up the home screen.
Streak used a 160 setting, but it was only 800x480.

I'm going to just leave it at 320. I'd rather take the time to get used to it and have everything function properly.

Good idea.
Im sure all the apps that break with the different density can be fixed using spare parts or installing modified ones. [There are many modified ones in the int Note forum]
Hi, I have SGP311 and just upgraded to 4.2.2 and i noticed a major drop in screen resolution, it is noticeable since the boot animation, all videos played from Movies, MxPlayer and so look crappy, the stock font also looks blurry. I was wondering if anyone has the same issue?

I would but it is not that evident, it came to my attention since the first boot after de XPERIA logo, the lines look extremely blurry in comparison with 4.1.2, I'm not that demanding in terms of screen res but i can notice it even with 1080p movies i used to play looking super crisp, also on Firefox and pdf's, I've been browsing threads but found no comments regarding this..I am looking for a downgrade but I'm a noob and dont want to brick this thing, I was hoping if someone could tell me if the right way to do it is via Flashtool + FTF file with full wipe??
I upgrade to 4.2.2 and do not have this everything is the same.... I find the scrolling on mine a lot better more fluid with the tip of the thumb..... only one thing so far but I will wait to make a battery drain and recharge to be sure but I find the battery is draining faster in sleep mode (stamina) I lost 4% leaving the tab doing nothing I thing it was better before. and also be able to root the device...... I like the new camera software in Superior auto .... Wifi also improved .....
I haven't experienced this, everything looks the same, and when doing a full screen application the top status bar disappears and the bottom bar icons turn into dots (less obvious), not 100% but I think the bottom navigation bar is not as tall as when it was a combined navi bar, if that's the case more screen real estate for full screen which may be causing your movies to not look as crisp as they need to fill in more room on the screen?
I'm not sure there is, but it may be a problem with assets (icons, stock wallpapers, etc.) if they're specifically optimised for the original bottom combined navi/status bar and now they're being stretched but any other content is just displayed within the boundaries of the bars without resizing or dpi change (just less being visible)
Just downgraded
I just downgraded to 4.1.2 and it is all back to normal, Im aware that it may sound like a thing of perception since the new notification bar was added an so but I swear its not, maybe its just my xtz..the only thing i miss is the speed of 4.2.2

Hi all,
I have found a way to change the dpi without root, just using adb and cmd and it worked like a charm...well, almost. There are a couple of UI glitches that appear when you reduce (or increase for that matter) the dpi.
Firstly, the icons on the home screen mess up, but that's not SUCH an issue as you can install another launcher or in my case, find an icon pack that doesn't show the mess up quite as much (my preferable choice because you see the icons set in different areas of the UI, such as the notifications shade and recents menu, settings, etc.)
Secondly, and the most annoying, is the crop function messes up in the weirdest way. Whether it be when changing wallpaper or trying to crop a picture in CamScanner, the image you choose appears zoomed in and there is no way to zoom out or even move the image around, only zoom in further.
Now, my question is, has anyone managed to find a suitable dpi that MIUI does not have a problem with, or are there some standard dpi's MIUI uses apart from 480? Or has anyone found a way around any of these issues (or any other issues they may have encountered when changing the dpi)? Last but not least, is there a custom version of MIUI out there, or a rom that has it's visuals (and camera app) but custom tailored to suit various dpi's and other modifications?
I really cannot live with the stock dpi of 480, it's like using a phone made for old people, waaaay too large EVERYTHING on a large screen, I want to see more on a large screen. But I also am not yet prepared to go off MIUI as I really like their UI, visually, and I know any other rom will lose a lot of camera quality amoungst some other things like battery life, etc.
Thanks guys in advance for any advice.

If the original one is 386 I think 400 is kinda useless... Or did you mean 300?
Original is 403dpi if I'm not mistaken. I set mine to 375 and it's absolutely perfect..
Default density is 480.

No, the original is 480, which is too large...where did you get the number 386 from? perhaps it is another one of their phone's stock DPI, which means MIUI might not warp on this DPI value? Will check it out, but any information you have, please let me know

OK will try at home then.
Just to be sure - phone has to be in FASTBOOT mode to accept ADB commands from PC right?
used some of the suggested DPI's but...
so, thanks guys, used some of the suggested DPI values, 386 and 375, and mostly everything works fine....except still some small issues with the icons and the cropping. try and set a wallpaper for a whatsapp group for example, photo shows as zoomed in and cannot zoom out to choose a crop of the WHOLE image like I used to....have attached some screenshots of what happens to my icons....is this possibly because I am not rooted that the DPI value is not getting set in to the system correctly? Is anyone who is rooted facing the same issues or not?
might convince me to root, this is the first device i have managed to be happy without rooting lol

No, no need....as long as you have ADB drivers installed and you are launching the CMD from within the ADB folder, it will work. Oh and of course USB debugging enabled and the first time it tried to access the phone for ADB details, you will need to allow it to by hitting remember and ok on the phone

The original isn't near 386. I went down to 380 and everything it far smaller than a 6 dpi difference. I'd say stock is closer to 430 - 450
Yes man, you was right the original DPI is 440, the app textdroiderDPI was showing me an incorrect value of 386 (maybe a little bug...).
Setting it on 440 with LeDpiChanger gave me a full stock MIUI size

Thank you sir, this works for me on MIUI 8.1.1.0 global stable, change my screen density to 420. Icons are perfect.
You can activate it with the nova launcher activities, the path is settings / optimizer video. As standard it does not appear in the Samsung soft, also once you have achieved the shortcut you must activate it. All multimedia apps appear, Netflix, HBO, Amazon prime video, Mx player, Samsung video and some more like Youtube, Vanced etc. The improvement is remarkable, now it is seen with very rich colors, more contrast and brightness, It also corrects the excess of overexposed images that in my opinion detracted from the screen, now it is incredible to watch series and movies! For those of you who don't use nova launcher, I suppose that with an app like create shortcurts from the playstore it will also be possible to get it. Yeahhhhhh !!!!!
Thanks for this.
The name for this toggle is: hdreffectsettingsactivity
After using it takes you to your system settings with an on/off toggle. For unknown reason Samsung removed it from device settings, so we have to fiddle with 3rd party tools to reenable it. Please fix Samsung.
For whats its worth i think Mx player has this enabled by default everytime you watch hdr 10bit encoded video. Not 100% correct but when watching with mx player that nice and sharp image is still there.

Once you activate it you can delete nova launcher if you want, it will be fixed or it should. I do notice a clear improvement, the screen has more contrast and the colors are much more intense with the naked eye. Now we see 100% of what our amoled can give. If you do not perceive a change it is strange. My tablet is still on android 9 ... yours on android 10? Maybe that's the reason!
I'm on 10 but yes you're right I do see some improvement, it doesn't effect all apps only a few. Thanks again for the tip.

Me too. Nova and Action launcher does not show me the option. Running Lineage 18.1 Android 11.
I enabled it and tested it. It works by crancing up your screen brightness up a really really lot.
You should worry about screen burn in since the tablet is oled.
Hence I disabled it again.
If you open for example youtube app with this enabled the only thing it seems to do is putting whole screen including comment section into maximum brightness.
I understand Samsung why they don't give this option available to customers not understanding oled burn in.
I recommend you to disable it. In the future you might think back if you got burnin oled display.

Excuse me, but I must be very clear, you don't know what you're talking about. The video optimizer in our Tab S 5e is hidden in the software because Samsung did it thinking of offering us a worse screen and thus favor the Amoled Tab S 7+. Listening to you is stepping on eggs in a chicken coop xD. Activate the optimizer and enjoy the excellent amoled and calm screen, you will not get burned by using the optimizer (all the tabs have it, their phones also) By the way, my Tab S 8.4 from 2014 still has the screen in perfect condition review using high brightness as I like to watch series or movies ...
I found this option while running Android 10 but now since the 11 update, I can't find this option in action launcher or nova launcher... what am I missing? Thanks

I'm on stock android 11.
Stock Android 11 here, I found the "hdreffectsettingsactivity" using this Nova Launcher method. Problem is that there isn't any buttons to toggle or options to select. It just displays a sentence about using Normal Screen brightness or something. Is this a dead end for Android 11? I could care less about 11. I was watching a series on Netflix with a lot of night/dark scenes and those scenes were straight up unwatchable.
(for anyone looking for this, it wasn't under "Optimizer Video," it was further down listed as one of the "Settings," read the fine print.)

Can you try YouTube app, search at YouTube for:
Real 4K HDR Dolby Test ultrahd movie for 4k
oled tv
Then when it starts playing go full screen. Does HDR automatically turn on?
It does on my galaxy s8 but only in full screen. The user interface is very bright too but when leaving full screen video in YouTube automatically disables again.
If it works than other applications can do the same.
I want to disable HDR since I didabled video optimizer, I still can't block YouTube going HDR in HDR movies.
So actually we have the opposite problem.
In your current situation normal video is not HDR.

So android 11 is rubbish because you can't use the video optimizer and Netflix looks so bad? Have you managed to find a solution?
