Hello fellow HTC users,
The biggest issue I've had with this phone has definitely been the resolution. It's just way too low. While the software tries to compensate, it just cannot do it. The pixels are too large not to be noticed and quite frankly, bothered by it. I have installed an app to up the resolution on my phone following an advice from another member on this forum. I tried plenty but NoMone seems to be the best app for it. Of course, you'll need root to do this but I assume most of you have it just by being here.
You can get the app here: NoMone Resolution Changer
I played with a lot of different resolutions and DPIs. When I use 720p or anything above, the phone starts to suffer real bad. It just isn't able to handle it. The best one resolution I found, after doing some calculations and using some apps as a guide such as Resolution Tool, which has various options to calculate the resolution and DPI. I found it to be:
Width: 725
Height: 1282
DPI: 315
This one looks really great and the phone performs wonderfully.
If anyone is looking to tweak their resolutions a bit, I would advise you try this one. You'll be glad you did. The resolution upholds the 16x9 ratio, which is the ratio the screen was designed for.

I tried switching my screen to this resolution but the entire screen looks smaller. Do you have any other resolutions I could switch to?
Pointless. Adjust DPI instead. This causes your phone to attempt to scale the virtual display to the physical, and effectively causes the lag and slowness described.

OK Here is the minimum of what I need
9.7" or larger 4:3 display. I can do other sizes or aspect ratio's as long as my resolution requirements are met
resolution 1024x768 or better where the 768 is the critical size (so 1280x720 won't work neither will 1024x600) I need the 768 or better than 768 since one of the core function of this is reading PDF magazines. anything less than 768 and too much of the mags are not readable without zooming I don't want to zoom I want full page reading.
MUST have GPS. I also want to use this for Geo Caching and mapping so GPS is required.
must run 2.3 minimum would LOVE something running JB but beggars can't be choosers.
Must be around $200 or less. if its REALLY slick I might be able to swing a tiny bit over $200 (I am eying the Lepan II but its $280 a bit out of my budget)
MUST BE ROOTABLE.
other than that I am pretty flexible.
I would like HDMI out I would like USB host I would REALLY like charge by USB capability. I DO NOT want proprietary connections.
would really like something people have used and determined not to be a "hack job"
I just got an I10 but its got a fubared messed up copy of 2.3.1 on it many apps just don't work right. going to return it.
I can't even lock the damned thing into portrait orientation.
SO what do you guys suggest?
The Nexus One and Nexus S both had the same resolution (800 x 480) which makes sense for a reference device as having a stable target for UI / display is beneficial to developers. It allows them to acclimate to a certain resolution to produce the best looking apps available. They seem to have ditched tradition (and sensibility) by going from 1280 x 720 to 768 in a year, different resolution, different aspect ratio.
Personally I find that there isn't enough vertical resolution what with the navbar and status bar so it all seems kind of silly.
Perhaps Google is going to do something new with the increased lateral resolution?
I am not a developer so correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the android SDK have some sort of implementation that makes apps compatible with a lot of screen sizes and resolution? So I don't think changing the resolution will matter so much.
I bought a Pipo S1 tablet that is supposed to be running at 800x480.
Problem is, it appears to stretch everything as though it isn't actually running it's native resolution. So it's actual resolution must be slightly higher or lower in one of the axis for it to be stretched I imagine.
I've attached a photo perspective corrected in photoshop next to a screenshot:
Any thoughts on how I might fix this problem? Even if it means rooting and editing some files. I suppose it would be handy to know the true resolution of the display to begin with!
Thanks,
Mark.
So I'm having a hard time understanding all that's going on with DPI and resolution. My primary end goal is I want to be able to change my resolution or DPI which ever is correct for performance and battery reasons. I want to upgrade to the pixle XL when it comes out but I care about maximizing battery life more than o care about a quad HD screen. I plan on rooting.
So my question is what is the difference between DPI and resolution. I've seen a few different DPI changer apps, but it seems these are more scaling. I read a little on this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4783&nocache=1
But it seems he's changing the resolution? And then adjusting the DPI to scale things correctly?
Basically I want to be able to run 1080p on a quad HD phone without making everything huge or tiny, however it would throw things off. Thanks for any help!
I was wondering, what resolution are you using?
I've started with WQHD+ and moved to smart, since i didn't noticed much difference(didn't really test battery life, just DPI and fonts).
What resolution do you use, and why?
I've always left it on smart resolution. Never found a reason to change to a specific option.
Im running it on FHD.
Couldn't notice the difference.
