This is exactly what I noticed and thought myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bondosho:
1080p is pretty much useless on here, I feel that it was an afterthought. Seems the 720p has a bit of stabilization, and overall just looks better.

Here is a shot in 1080:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lawr0155:
Exactly why I made this thread. Also, watch your two videos and notice how far zoomed in the 1080P video is compared to the 720P. I also have many issues with quality of 1080P, which is why I leave mine set to 720P.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zexell:
Wow, I am extremely grateful for this thread. I just tested 1080p vs 720p on my phone and 720p seems to have some great image stabilizing and the bitrate looks higher than 1080p.

720p has IS, zoom, and looks so smooth. Couple that with the bitrate hack and you got yourself one hell of a camcorder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
bitrate hacking? do tell!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
Yes please do

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hayabusa1300cc:
There was a thread created before about this so I investigated. I have came to conclusion the 1080p is better quality. And of course better quality full screen. Watch each file at it's naive resolution. I have a dreamcolor display at 1920x1200 so I can definitely make the call on what looks better. This is my opinion on my findings.

The other issue I have found with the camera is that the settings don't survive a reboot. What's the point of editing the shortcuts if you have to redo them every time you reboot the phone or quit the camera app.

On the OG Epic, I could set the camera to black and white and it would remain until I changed it. However, on this camera, I have to set the effects every time I use the camera.

I would say that the camera is sorta flaky. Anyone know if this happens on the other Galaxy S2........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kikoshi:
The shortcuts actually on me, they survive the reboot, I haven't fiddled with the whole black and whiteness, and tried to reboot it, but i'll try it out for ya :)

edit : Well all my other options stayed, eccept the Effects, it reverts back to normal.

Check this camera mod out. I can confirm this works with our phones

Did the 1080p get fixed I'm in Fi27 blukuban ,and the 1080p is not zoomed in anymore.

Edit, my bad I must of zoomed its still the same. I must of zoomed in the 720 then compared it , so I tricked myself
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
One thing I find very annoying is the frame rate temporarily freezing during panning. To say its annoying is an understatement. It drives me crazy! Even qbking's 1080p video test of the note 2 is horribly affected by it. I don't remember if my 4s did it but you couldn't change the resolution at all with it and it certainly didn't look like full res on a 1080p TV. I think it might have had the stutters too but not as bad as these phones. I loved the audio gain circuit in that phone. It wasn't easily over driven like Samsung phones are. Those where the few things I liked about it, everything else was a pita.

I am unable to log into Android Market. When signing in to my Google account I get an error message that says something along the lines of "There is a temporary error or your sim card is not provisioned for data services"

Has anyone else had this? I'm on nova v8. It just happened to me for the first time, previously with nova 8 I just can sign in easily.

So, because there's been a forum lull (in my opinion) lets talk, what is the best way to stick it to ipad and ipad 2 owners who don't have xooms?
[Xoom General] mmayhew:
I wouldn't own an iPad but IMHO, there isn't an Android tablet that just blows it out of the water. I'm sure I'll get blasted for not being a die-hard fanboi but honestly, I can see why the iPad is very appealing to the average consumer that isn't into the hacking/modding scene.

With that being said, these are the things that keep me loyal to Android that iOS can't/won't offer:

Google and Manufacturer support of the development communicating (AOSP, "fastboot oem unlock", etc)

True multi-tasking

Everything is OTA, no desktop software

Deep Google integration (Gmail, Gtalk, Docs, Books, Music, etc)

Tethering without rooting
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
Show them literally any widget, theme or customization... And then blow their minds with that whole sd card thing (they won't know what it is at first)
[Xoom General] :
Well I whip out my 1TB HDD and OTG and play a movie from my HDD. I could also hook up my PS3, N64, Xbox controller and play emulators. If we're outside I just whip out my BT OBD11 sensor and Torque app to troubleshoot my car.
[Xoom General] VaKo:
I need to figure out why mine lags like a bastard every time I attempt to show it off to someone, but will be buttery smooth when I'm using it by myself.
[Xoom General] Scnd2no1:
I sit there customizing widgets while pulling live data from others. They look and say, " what's that? " Android Xoom... Buddy. Then they say how are you online? I pull out the old trusty EVO with Cyanogenmod and say " It goes where I go " thanks to Android. They usually have this look of awe. Inside I have this feeling of satisfaction.
[Xoom General] patass:
I use my xoom at work all the time and the owner's daughters loved it, so they bought iPads. Apple users stick to apple products, there's no converting them.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Haha...happens to me too.

I think my Xoom is shy, or has a wicked sense of humor.
[Xoom General] Arun01:
Are you using the stock launcher?Slap ADW launcher on that baby & watch her fly!
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Yeah, especially with Tachi oc gpu kernel.
[Xoom General] Isun:
Maybe you should overclock. Yeah that happened to me once before but they were still impressed by its capabilities.

Ipad/Ipad 2 has it's place as many consumers want functionality right out of the box with little tweaking. The interface is very user friendly and there are a slew of accessories for it. I prefer Android tablets for customization and the fact that if we were just going on specs alone it is a more capable machine. I wish we had more photo apps though.
[Xoom General] VaKo:
I can't be bothered to overclock and so forth, as I said it works fine when I'm using it. But for instance, when I needed to review a PDF in the bank the entire thing ground to a halt and sat there mocking me while the teller ranted on about young people and paper.

As for the launcher, I do like the stock one and so far the replacements designed for phones are somewhat lacking compared to it.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
You should consider ADW ex...it's made for tablets and gives you up to seven screens, lots of customization and it's really smooth.
[Xoom General] cwizardtx:
I constantly show myself my Xoom to impress myself.

Then I whip out my iPad2 while my Xoom is choking on some random process.

Then I show myself my Xoom again.

Then I put them both down and play with a Touchpad.
[Xoom General] Psychokitty:
I have yet to find an iPad owner who's actually excited by what I have to a show them.

Apple product users enjoy exactly how those things are marketed. They were sold on them before they were even made.
[Xoom General] vlx600d:
Funny how that happens. Same problem here
[Xoom General] joshndroid:
i agree that ipad owners are happy with their device... they also like the smell of their own behind (similar to the south park ep where they use hybrids) this is because of their continual claim that it is the best no matter the pitfalls... android is definitely not the bug free product however the customization and development and the openness on the whole model of google makes you place a little more trust... even if they may screw you to your face, apple screws you behind your back... so to speak

How about an embedded flash video?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dotpkmdot:
I'm going to be travelling on Monday and plan on tossing a couple videos on the phone to watch. My question is what format/codec should I encode them to for best battery life?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
I can't really find much info on codecs vs. battery life, but theoretically whatever minimizes CPU usage would be your best bet. All the video I've played on my Infuse runs the CPU at 400MHz, so the codec might be pretty negligible as long as the stock video player supports it.

Another factor would be your source material: what kind? Is it HD? Can your phone already play the videos as-is?

For 720p or higher content that I must re-encode, I use x264 on the 'slower' preset, constant quality with a crf of between 16 and 17.5. For 16:9 widescreen video, I resize with spline36 resize filter to 800x450 resolution. I use VSfilter to hardsub subtitles if necessary (using an AVS script). For audio, I use AAC constant quality @ q somewhere around 0.66 (keeping original sample rate up to 48KHz). You can downmix surround audio tracks using a variety of programs, or with filters in an AVS script. I mux everything into an MP4 container for maximum compatibility (MKV seems to give me sporadic seek issues with some files for some reason). I mainly use MeGUI with x264 and NeroAAC for my encoding and MP4box or mkvtoolnix for muxing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dotpkmdot:
Thanks for the help, I've got some time today so I might try a couple videos in different formats, try and see if CPU usage stays the same between them.

None of the videos are HD quality and all are with the xvid codec. The reason I initially asked was because if I remember correctly the iphone has a hardware decoder for x264 format videos to help ease pressure on the CPU, which in turn helps with battery life. I was curious if the same held for the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GGXtreme:
The phone should already play Xvid without wasting any more battery than H.264 (btw, x264 is the encoder, not the format). There's no benefit from re-encoding Xvid to H.264 unless the source is higher quality than the phone will display. But if your testing yields any interesting results, please share them :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] n1nj4dude:
It seems like I have seen multiple threads about physical defects with the phone, i just thought i would throw up a poll to see which side weighs more because I feel sorry for all those with physical defects since I feel like my phone has been great.

Before I end this post im going to suggest that the viewing the phone from a 90 degree angle and seeing the blueish/greenish tint is not a defect. to me it seems more of a effect from samsungs amoled screen (please correct me if im clearly wrong)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] phonic:
So far, I have no complaints or defects, but I do have the weird greenish tint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] benk016:
The only thing i've noticed so far is I get a green tint only if I don't have the phone perfectly straight to my eyes. If you turn it any way it starts to turn green. I can just barely turn it and it starts turning colors.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

this is one of my favorite apps. I've been running it since I had my Evo 3D nearly two years ago...and i'm still running it on the Note II. I thought some of you may be interested.

this is a themed, modded version of Video Caller Id (Free)

What I did was theme most of the image files to match the JellyBomb black/ICS blue look. Even now that I don't have JellyBomb I still love the look. I also made a few .xml changes so the layout of the information on the screen is a little better than the original.

YOUTUBE VIDEO

here is a YouTube video showing the app, the settings and some of the video ringtones i'm also including in this thread.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCtXHmIasyQ

INSTRUCTIONS

To Install:

Copy VideoCallerID.apk to /system/app/
Set permissions to RW-R--R--
Reboot. Enjoy.

---

Recommended Settings:

Activate the service = checked
Float video-view = unchecked
Use monitoring = checked
Opening delay option = 100ms (for Note II), 400ms (for S3), increase if the app doesn't start up when you get a call.
Ringer view = customize to your liking, I have all checked

Sound
- Video without sound = to your liking, I have it unchecked
- Maximum volume = to your liking, I have it checked
- Mute ringtone = unchecked (and set your ringtone on the phone's settings to silent, this works much better than having the app mute the ringtone for you)
- Say contact name = to your liking, I have it unchecked

---

How to use:

When you open the app, you see your contacts. You can set individual video ringtones per contact:
- Next to the contact's name, click on the Andy icon with the + sign, and then choose select video file.
- Browse to your video and select it.
- Now you can click on the contact's name and preview and change options for that specific contact

To set system-wide video ringtone:
- Click on the wrench icon on the top right
- Click on Default video
- Choose a default video for all contacts (with the exception of those with custom video ringtones)
- Choose a default video for unknown/blocked callers
- You can also preview whatever video is already set by pressing on the icon for that video.

[HTC EVO 3D] dased14:
Quick question max does it only use one ringtone or does it play the contacts custom tone as well. And I wonder if it can be tweaked to work on my evo as while
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
It works as the original did. You can set videon ringtones for each contact and a general one.

All I have done are aesthetic changes.
[HTC EVO 3D] raymond4:
Well I confirm that it didn't work for me on miui
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
So when answering do u still have to answer the call twice? Like if u slide to answer or decline, does the default answer screen POP up next and u have to answer or decline the call again?

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
No? I never had that issue...I think it may be a side effect from the opening delay setting under the options. I have mine set to 0 and I can answer and decline calls just by using the app.
[HTC EVO 3D] rogerandgina:
Thanks it works great!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] LAzyPD:
Hey, so how did you set up your lock screen like that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
Widgetlocker :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] LAzyPD:
Any tips on that?

Im a newb to WL
[HTC EVO 3D] keedog:
Can anyone else confirm that u don't have to answer twice. I've had the pay for version of this app, damn near since it came out, and I've always had to answer twice. I wonder is the widget locker app that ur using changing this. I've tried changing the delay to 0ms, and I still have to answer twice. I haven't tried out this "revised version" because u said u just changed the aesthetics. But if i get more confirmation, that this is working, I'll definitely give it a try.
[HTC EVO 3D] youngpro83:
Exactly. I asked as well and the op said that u don't have to answer twice to accept calls. I too have the paid version. I'm about to try this and see what happens. I also have widget locker so I'll see what happens and post my results.

Edit: okay so after doing some testing with the app. I can confirm that u still have to answer the call twice. Even with widget locker it doesn't seem to override the default ringer. And I couldn't get the android man to play either. I had to pick my own videos that I made myself. Great app but having to slide to answer once and press the accept button again is a little annoying at times.

Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
guys I saw the comments here and this issue is also on the market comments.

I have never tried the paid version. using this version, I have no problems.

however, I don't have the rosie sense installed. I use Widgetlocker and Launcherpro. I use easywake on widgetlocker so the htc lockscreen is disabled.

my settings in the video caller app are as follows:

Activate service = checked

Use monitoring = checked

Opening delay option = 0 ms

video without sound = unchecked

maximum volume = checked

mute ringtone = checked

Under ringer view I have:

all options checked except "swipe to answer" and "use hardware buttons"

----

I don't know if this will make any difference for you. as I said, the app works flawlessly for me. hope it works well for you too.

please let me know if it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] krazyme3:
MAN THIS IS AWESOME, hella funny i got a dancing droid now lol....

maybe try that?
[HTC EVO 3D] vlatinlove:
I just used "tubemate" from the market it worked perfectly and even lets you choose different video qualities to download. I ended up downloading the Party Rock Kia Soul Hamster Commercial and trimed it with the gallery.

I also can confirm that I do not have to pick up twice, I am using Zone's rom and stock lockscreen and only have to answer one screen. I even tried this app on my girlfriends G2 and only had to pick up once she has cm7.
[HTC EVO 3D] marcos600rr:
Thnx man i was looking 4something like this is fuc......g awsome only thing i hace to say is that to make it work in htc sensation after a20min mesing with the phone to make it work perfectly i just extract the mp4 and use calle id app then you got to unable slide bars to answer enable only swipe to answer and youre done it works like a charm... Definetly hit that thnx 4ya 5stars definetly

[HTC EVO 3D] nanobutter:
Thanks works!
[HTC EVO 3D] eddyz:
i cant seem to select the dancing droid vid from the gallery. anyone have this problem?
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
did you extract the .mp4 from the .zip file? placing it on your sd card should be enough for your gallery to pick it up. it's in native format so even the built-in player should play it just fine.

another thing you can do is go into Settings => Manage applications...find Gallery, clear data. go into recovery. wipe cache and dalvik cache. reboot, open gallery and it should now load everything again, including the video.

try that and get back to me.
[HTC EVO 3D] eddyz:
clearing data in the gallery app worked. thanks!!
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
Update coming tonight. The app creator updated it to resolve the issue for those that had to answer twice.

Sent from my Evo 3D on MetroPCS 3G!
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
updated the OP with new version of the app and new video ringtones.

I'm doing this as a courtesy since I no longer have an Evo 3D. It's been tested on a Galaxy S3 and a Note II, so I expect it will also work on the Evo 3D.

let me know!
[HTC EVO 3D] Kamau54:
Had to do a wipe and reflash my 4.2 after this app. Sent my Wild For The Night into a bootloop.
[HTC EVO 3D] Max_Pain:
there is no way this could have put your phone in a bootloop considering it is only a single .apk file. :rolleyes:

anyone else confirm this?
[HTC EVO 3D] jmkarnai01:
I'm running it on Mazda's 4.1.2. Runs like it is supposed to. Also thanks. This is just great. Hard thing is picking which video for the specific person.

Ok so I know this is probably in the wrong section but, does anyone know how to get super powerful weapons like the kraken easily. There was a hack with the earlier version but it would go poof after I signed in. I have many friends with krakens and apocalypses and things like that but I know there's no way they got THAT many warbucks. Any way anyone can upload an advanced save game? If its also from a thunderbolt then maybe it would trick the security stuff.

Look people. I've made 2 themes for this phone so far. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm making this a poll, if I get enough likes, I'll keep making themes. If not, then I'm done. I'm getting sick and tired of using my time and taking time away from my family to make these themes, only to have people say they "hate them," or "they're too amateur."

I work 26 hour shifts every other day and still have put out 2 themes with alternate versions in 3 weeks. I'm done.
