Does anyone know if the Titan is capable of displaying a higher resolution if a future Windows version allowed it, or whether it is physically pixel-locked to 480 x 800?
There is no such thing as being "pixel locked"
However, the screen has 480x800 pixels. If you could raise the resolution, it would look like crap. So you don't want to.
Thanks, I think. I am not saying I want to increase the resolution, I was merely asking if it was possible. For example if Windows 8 came out and the the system supported QHD at 960 pixels high, would the Titan display at 960 px high. I guess you are saying that the screen will only display at 480 x 800 no matter what. TFT monitors are capable of multiple resolutions and I was wondering if the Titan was capable of displaying higher res, that's all.

Has anyone used it with any type of video out like hdmi? That would tell you. However the digitizer on the phone may not support it.
Interesting question though.

Monitors are able to use lower resolution. THey have a maximum amount and can go below. Not above. What your asking isnt available and never will be probably
the phone's Max resolution is 480x800. If WP8 supported higher resolutions, this phone would not be able to go any higher. This is how the screen was built by HTC and all current WP7 phone manufacturers

Thanks, concise, clear answer. Much appreciated!
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 have seen several folks talking about this. What is the deal? Every set of specifications and promo materials list it at 440. Yet, it seems be set at 480 in real life. Can someone enlightenment me? It is easy to change to 440 with dsb's system-writeable kernel and an app like texdroider_dpi. I just don't get how HTC could have messed this up. Especially, on a unit where the display specs are the primary sales pitch. I guess maybe the bigger question is does 480 or 440 dpi make a darn bit of difference visually? Probably not.
Peace
The screen us 440 ppi, that's just math. There are 440 pixels every inch. But HTC set the dpi at 480, so the phone thinks the phone is 480 ppi instead of 440. They did this cuz 240 is a very standard setting and 240x2=480

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!
What is the correct dpi for poco??
398
430 for better notch handling
