[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
There's still many mainboard models missing

By the way the list looks, each baseband region has it's own model number

so far the list includes:

EU unlocked - Black

O2 Locked - Black

O2 Locked - Black - No battery

At&t Locked - Black - No battery

At&t Locked - Red - No battery

Following that logic the following models are missing

US unlocked - black

??? ??? - white

AWS Locked - black

AWS Unlocked - black

Rogers locked - black

Softbank locked - black

Softbank locked - blue

Starhub unlocked - black

Hong Kong unlocked - black

Olleh ??? - black

Since dell put in hurdles so that normal users cant switch their baseband regions without flashing a different recovery. For all intents and purposes they're likely to be considered different sub-versions of the 3 major streak models (EU/US/AWS)

[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Hello there,

My Nexus S is arriving soon. As Nexus S doesn't have 720p video recording, I have an idea to turn our camcorder into 720p.

I tried this to my Wildfire before, and it really work, (480p for wildfire is just lag like hell)

But for Nexus S, I don't have the phone. You guys may try it out, it may not work.

Make a backup before you try it out.

1. Simply take something (e.g. pencil) and shoot it, remember the angle and position that you take the photo.

2. Go to photo gallery and check the file size (e.g. 1243kb).

3. Make a backup

4. Go to other phone's development zone (android phone with 720p and 5MP. e.g. desire s, galaxy s, wildfire s, etc) and download their rom.

5. By using a computer, open the ROM.zip with winrar, head to system/etc/ and extract media_profiles.xml.

6. Make a flashable zip together with the media_profiles.xml and flash it via recovery. [Copy and paste via root explorer may not work]

7. Reboot system and go to camera.

8. Take the things that you used just now and shoot it once again.

9. Go to gallery and check the file size. The file size will be different depending on the media_profile.xml from different ROM that you used. (e.g 2013kb)

10. Then go to camcorder and see whether you have 720p with high res setting.

11. If it doesnt work, try to flash it again.

If you still can't get 720p

1. Use root explorer, go to system/etc

2. Copy the media_profiles.xml into somewhere else that can reach when you turn on USB storage.

3. Copy it to computer and change the number of the resolution into 720p.

4. Turn it into zip and flash via recovery

5. Check the photo size and go to video see whether you have 720p.

Good luck guys.

Hope we can get 720p and I'm not responsible if anything goes wrong with your devices.
[Nexus S Android Development] Arkaknio:
As I know, the problem to activate the 720p recording in NS is a little bit harder than change a value in a XML configuration file. Is something related to drivers and a camera harware restriction.

Anyway, we don't lose anything giving this a try.
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Give it a try.. change the xml..
[Nexus S Android Development] fede91it:
There is an hardware limitation. You can change the value, you will record a fake 720p o worse brake you camera. Are you sure this is secure?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
There is no way you can break your camera, and it isn't a hardware issue either.
[Nexus S Android Development] Amritttt:
For nexus one some guy chransingh got 720p video recording
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
Yes it is. The Nexus S is missing a chip within the phone to do 720p capabilities. This was because there wasn't enough room in the phone because of Super AMOLED + NFC or something of that sort.

http://www.gsmarena.com/nexus_s_in_italy_next_month_no_samoled_but_has_720p_video-news-2251.php The Italy version has 720p. There is also a thread about this when the phone first came out. They broke down the NS and the chip was missing.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I can remember reading a breakdown where they said that the chip was present
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
WIll try to turn into maybe 540p? I saw 720p nexus. I don't think the one I'm getting is 720p.
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
... Did you not read what I said?

@dario3040: I saw a picture of it. It's not present in I9020T. Only model is the Italy version of it (it could be in other parts of Europe too)

Edit: Supercurio: @dnaltews Is VIdeo Capture 480p choice due to WebM codec limitations on this SoC? software compressor Maybe?

Swetland: @supercurio clock rate limitation of the SoC. Galaxy uses an external image processing part as a work around. Not enough PCB space in N.S.
[Nexus S Android Development] coloxim:
this is not the true...

read better...

maybe the italian has the chip...
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
I said it does have the chip. the nexus a didn't have proper 720p a android developer at google had confirmed this. So no you read better because you aren't listening to me. If 720 p was such a big deal then maybe you should of gotten another phone.

simply look on xda, a thread in general had talked about this before.
[Nexus S Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Aside from all the arguing.. Has anyone tried this yet?

[Nexus S Android Development] AdamG:
The changes needed for 720p are more than just an xml file, it needs kernel changes/framework/camera/libcamera to name a few.
[Nexus S Android Development] window7:
True. If it's that easy, why would not other developer do it ? :)
[Nexus S Android Development] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
Just bought this nexus s..

Fell in love right away now Im having seconds thoughts :/

Has there been any advancement as far as almost getting it to work atleast? I searched my ass off.. couldn't find any progress? >:-0
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
Will get my nexus today. Will root by next week or next month. And will try it out.

Wildfire doesn't have external image processor. But It can be changed to 480p. But only able to shoot 1fps. Wildfire has sux processor

[Nexus S Android Development] liorry:
When I owned the Nexus One I followed the 720p process since it started and assuming the Nexus S has the needed chip, I hardly see how a simple XML change will make this work. on the Nexus One they needed drivers, sources, etc... I guess the Nexus S will require the same.

What really bugs me is that if it's possible, why Google won't release an update for the device with a working 720p?
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
Because.... like I've said ten times. But apparently, no one listens to me. The Nexus S is missing the HARDWARE to do proper 720p. A software update will not magically add a 720p chip within the phone. It is a hardware limitation because of NFC / SuperAMOLED and all these other things.
[Nexus S Android Development] melvinchng:
hmm.. ok ok...
[Nexus S Android Development] lvnatic:
Lol it doesnt have anything to do with the screen, amoled or lcd, doesnt matter. Its the nfc chip that occupys a lot of space and doesnt leave enough for 720p recording hardware.
[Nexus S Android Development] Mariusrapi:
Hi i'm Italian with an Italian Nexus s, with (alas) the super clear lcd, but there is no hd video recording... it is the same as yours: 720x480 if i'm not wrong...
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
The Super Amoled makes the phone thinner, so that is obviously not the reason.

Did you mean because the screen is curved?

[Nexus S Android Development] krohnjw:
The Italian version is the i9023 with the SLCD screen. It has no 720p recording. This article and every article all sourcing the same original source http://www.androidplanet.it/smartphones-android/il-primo-smartphone-android-2-3/ are wrong and will continue to be wrong.

There was no room on the PCB after adding the necessary hardware for NFC. The SAMOLED screen is not the issue (nor is SLCD). The PCB was nor large enough to accommodate the necessary extra image processing part used on the SGS phones after NFC was added. This has been discussed ad-nauseum as well as confirmed by Google employees.
[Nexus S Android Development] liorry:
OK, so if that's the case, we can sum this thread up with the fact that Nexus S will never get true 720p video recording.

Not that I care too much but it's good to know Google can't and not won't update it.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
Meh, it doesn't matter anyway, resolution isn't everything that makes a picture good.
[Nexus S Android Development] demo23019:
yup its the PCB for NFC pretty much the reason we dont have micro SD slot either taken up too much space..IMO i would have rather had microSD and HD camera than NFC

i still haven't used this function and probably will never ...at least on this phone

and people saying they did without this "chip on NS and itss still capable of 720p are wrong

Also i read somewhere that N1 720P really just up-scaled and not true 720P?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I don't think so, I don't think it could do that anyway.

And also: Sd cards are useless, and who records with their phone anyway?

I would rather have the option to pay with it, rather than recording blurry video.
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
Yeah N1 720p isnt true 720p. But people are so easy to convince. OMG OMG 720p must be better because its higher res.

@dario3040: I don't think microSD cards are useless at all. I prefer having NAND Memory + microSD.

720p? don't really care. i agree with you on that. I don't know why people have such a big problem against the NS' camera and 720p. Like honestly, if you're going to be recording a video, just get a video recorder. It'll be so much better than any phone. This is a phone. You're using it to flash/make calls/web.

And I really think that mods should close this thread because its a "concept" and was never tested. And it won't work.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
It's a nice feature, but to be honest, I didn't touch the SD card on my HTC Hero.
[Nexus S Android Development] zephiK:
I've started with a G1. It heavily depended on the microSD card.

Still, it's a small addition to a phone / tablet for expandable up to 32GB. Who could complain about more space?
[Nexus S Android Development] shabbypenguin:
i get that the nexus cant do hd video, but to everyone saying its missing teh chip that teh other sgs have.. its also a different camera sensor..had google checked into it im sure they could have gotten a complete soc. they prolly didnt to keep within costs.

regardless the nexus s is a nice phone..

[offtopic]

Sd Card is not useless at all, makes ur life much easier if you have different data in different SD card.. For me, if it support sd card, NS will turn to a great portable movie player, i could bring my huge movie collection on my SD card wherever i went on vacation.. Now my NS struggling with 15 HD games, few .avi movies, 3 different nandroid backup, and maybe some junk image and music. [/offtopic]

i agree that 720p recording on NS is not that important, if could maybe someone can thought a way on "strengthen" WIFI signal for NS. Using KD1 having a little bit below average signal strength compared to other phone and wifi range is sucks...
[Nexus S Android Development] liorry:
Go back to KB3 - I had a weaker WiFi signal and lost my HSDPA support with KD1... bad radio :)
[Nexus S Android Development] slayerXcore:
as said before the NFC chip in the nexus S (all current variants) take up the space it would require for proper 720p recording hardware and a micro SD card slot. the Nexus One isn't true 720P recording it involves a lot of driver manipulation to simply upscale the video as most modern dvd players do. even if we had the kernel, libs, drivers, and a new camera apk with 720p option, the phone simply doesn't have the hardware to do so. maybe in the future some dev will "waste their time" and try to come up with a 720p up-scaling option like the Nexus One has. i only say waste their time because 720p on a 5mp sensor isn't really that good anyway. i would rather have a better quality higher fps 480p recording. if you want 720p recording in your phone you should get something else. if you just want 720p recording you can buy many cameras with 720 or even 1080p for less than this phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
I agree that it's a good movie watching device, but I still don't feel like doing it.

A few youtube video's is fine with me.

Also, you could just get an unlimited data plan and use streaming to get it from a server anyway.

That's not an option for me since I live in Norway...
[Nexus S Android Development] MacGuy2006:
Saying "we don't need 720p" on a phone is just silly. It's like saying "we don't need smart phones."

People don't often have a camera/video camera with them, but they carry their phone most of the time. So the camera is important, and nowadays should be able to do a decent job.

Unfortunately, this is one of the major failures of the Nexus S. The camera is marginal at best, worse than my years-old iPhone 3GS, and definitely worse than my old Galaxy S.

The pictures quality is relatively poor and the video quality is terrible for a current smart phone. It doesn't even do 16x9, even though the screen of the phone is 16x9 (which is actually too narrow for a phone, but all Androids use it, because it's a bit cheaper).

I am not expecting stand-alone quality, but I am expecting something useful on a large screen. Sadly, the video quality of the Nexus S is not really useful on anything larger than 20" or so.

Here is an iPhone 4 video clip that a google search found:

http://alexmaine.net/IMG_0036.mov

Is it great? No. But its absolutely watchable on my 60" plasma.

It was a terrible decision by Google. And the NFC chip has proven absolutely worthless so far, and I don't see it being useful for at least another year or two. It's not like Google has tried to push it in any meaningful way, either.

This is the most pathetic comment I have ever seen.

[Nexus S Android Development] MacGuy2006:
Uhm, yes, my old iPhone 3GS does take better exposed photos.

And the only reason why I brought up viewing on 60" TV is because nowadays 50"+ screens are common, and the Nexus S video is unusable on those.

Does that hurt your feelings?

I understand it is ALSO a developer phone.

But even so, you'd think that Google would want Android developers to be able to write and test apps which work with, and take advantage of, higher resolution video.

Moreover, what is the average user to do, if they don't want an Android with proprietary, rarely updated OS version on it? Move to WM7 or iOS?
[Nexus S Android Development] dario3040:
No you didn't hurt my feelings, you just gave me a good laugh. :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Android Development] MacGuy2006:

I also understand that you probably haven't seen an iPhone.

But why be so smug that Google went with a substandard camera for their flagship phone?
