[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Why push the screens to a higher resolution than available media? Other than a marketing pissing match of "mine's bigger than yours." Anything higher than 1080p and to an average person there would be no discernible difference. Unless you plan on having your tablet shoved up your nose so you could get a closer look.

I'm guessing you've never actually seen a <15" (smallest I've ever see at that resolution) in person.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
If you read my post, I note that whether or not it's at all logical for resolution to be bumped up that much, the companies do it.

The marketing pissing match is the reason for this. With near certainty we can say the iPad 3 will have a very high resolution screen. From a pure marketing standpoint, Android tablets are going to have to come out with higher resolution screens as well in order to compete. When the average consumer walks into a store and looks at all these tablets, there's not a chance in hell they will give the Android one a chance if the nice little iPad display has "2048 x 1536 ultra-hd-omg resolution" on it when the Android displays still say "1280 x 800".

This is always how tech works. When one company bumps up a certain spec that is often used as a marketing cornerstone, the other companies have to respond in order to prevent getting dominated. It has nothing to do with real world benefit to user experience.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Is that the actual rumored resolution of the display or the maximum resolution the GPU can push out (HDMI)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
There is no point in that screen as movies are not captured in that resolution!

Plus a 90 minute movie in that resolution would be how big of a file?

Plus that's gonna kill the battery needing the extra back lighting plus rendering!

it is pointless to have that screen resolution!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
It's definitely the display itself.

http://9to5mac.com/2011/11/22/analyst-ipad-3-retina-display-production-has-started/

And Samsung's right behind them.

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/43409/samsung-hi-res-tablet-apple-february

Think of it as the display equivalent of the arms race. Both tablets will have way beefier GPU's so there shouldn't be a performance hit and, in fact, they may perform better than their lower resolution predecessors. If you read Samsung's press release on the new Exynos chip they're doing a lot at a low level in the processor specifically aimed at improving graphics.

And to The Janitor's point, once Apple convinces the world they need that kind of resolution whether they do or not becomes irrelevant. Followers of the Great God of Apple don't question his (or her) wisdom. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Assuming Apple and Samsung, who aren't amateurs at this, maintain performance and battery life why wouldn't you want a higher resolution screen (if you can afford it)? The pixel density will make everything displayed sharper, clearer, and cleaner. Text will be flawless. There is no downside to having more PPI rather than less. And I strongly doubt Apple would introduce a new product that performs worse than the product it replaces. If anything, it'll have a breath taking display and be faster and get better battery life. Hopefully Samsung follows the same course.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that's the point he is trying to make. once resolution reaches a certain point, like now, people won't be able to tell the difference. even apple stated that with their retina display. too much dpi. so avg Joe won't notice difference in resolution between 1280×800 and 2048x1536 ultra HD. like previous poster said, 1080P is he highest media content quality. a 1080P movie won't look any better running on 2048x1536 vs. 1280x800. both are Full HD and both can only play a Max of 1080P. so no real life benefit to higher resolution from tablet aspect. all it does is drive up costs, especially since the yield rates are so low now. apple is the only one who can pull it off. any other companies will be shooting themselves in the foot. 1280x800 looks great to me. I thought my Ipad had a great display but the prime outshines it completely.

as far as the don't speculate part goes, why? peoplehave been doing it to the prime. people so quick to dismiss its power/capability. so people who love their prime/tegra3 will come with counter arguments.

news flash also, tegra3 also supports up to2048x 1536 display and 3D display. check out the specs on nvidia site n other spec intensive tech sites :p. this is more of people dismissing tegra3 vs. the prime itself.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] denglili:
I like the sharp/clear text on high dpi screen. Tablet is mostly a reading device for me(web, books, docs), the benefit of text on high dpi screen is actually much more attractive than video playback for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
I all for more dpi....to an extent. Because like I said at a certain point you will not be able to tell the difference. I mean look at the PC monitors. You will be hard pressed to find a ~20" with a higher resolution than 1080p and for a good reason. Now take that and half the display real estate.

Now all that said, I do agree with you on the fact that Apple and others probably wouldn't hesitate to use overblown resolution as a marketing pitch. And the average Joe Sixpack will buy it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
Based on discussions we've just had regarding the Teg3 GPU and memory bandwidth, being able to "support" 2048x1536 and doing it as efficiently as the newer GPUs designed with ultra-high resolution in mind are two different things. My car can get 35MPG on the highway if I drive a constant 55 with no passengers, the windows rolled up, the air conditioner off, and the tires overinflated. Practically, the best I can do is 25MPG.

The question about the performance impact of new Teg3 tablets with higher resolution displays is a valid one and won't be answered until they're actually tested and compared to the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] egg651:
I hate to break it to you, but a 1080p movie would indeed look better on a 2048x1536 screen than on a 1280x800 one.

In fact, a 1280x800 screen can't even display 1080p video natively. Since the resolution of a full HD film is 1920x1080, it has to be downscaled to 1280x720 before it can be played.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
And wait in line for two days to pay at least 25% more than it's worth. That

is

the magic that

is

Apple. I love the new Apple fanboy parody commericials Samsung's running for just that reason.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
I don't think anyone is arguing the fact that the prime outputs 1080p on its own display....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Idk but the prime is sooooo thin the iPad will need to be thicker to support that screen and soc!

The prime is cool though I can't wait to show it off when I get back to school
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
You're right. They had to add another backlight and the iPad3 is rumored to be thicker because of it. Based on the additional costs, it wouldn't surprise me if the iPad3 is priced $100 higher then the iPad2 and an "iPad2S" model introduced with the existing display at the same time at current or slightly lower pricing levels. Hopefully, no matter how far from production, Samsung will use CES to make a huge deal about the 11.6 to steal some of Apple's thunder. If so, we could know soon what its specs are. Who knows, maybe it'll be announced as the Nexus tablet the rumor mill is buzzing about? Regardless, expect the 11.6 to be priced at the absolute high end of the market reinforcing what an excellent value the Prime is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] egg651:
The prime was never mentioned in the quote. I was merely correcting some misguided assumptions made by someone who either didn't entirely understand what they were talking about or just worded what they were trying to say badly.

That quote again, for reference:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
How? I know the Prime outputs 1080P via HDMI but how can a display with less resolution then the content project it pixel-for-pixel? I just assumed egg651 was correct and the content's being downscaled to what the display's capable of reproducing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Heh sorry, seems you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I mean no one was saying that prime outputs 1080p on its own screen. :D

I apologize for terrible wording, I was typing it up on my phone as we were watching Family Guy trying not to die from laughing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I knew you were going to call me out on that part..lmao I was waiting to see how long it'll take. What you said is true. Just reminding people tegra3 can do this also. Future tabs with tegra3 and higher resolutions will have their tegra3 clocked higher. Like you said, we really won't know until they are released, tested, and compared. I think tegra3 will surprise a lot of doubters in due time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
Woah, there's a huge difference here. It is OK to pass judgment on the prime and make negative statements about its performance because it exists and people already have them in hand. It's no longer "speculation" when it's an actual product people own. It is NOT OK to pass judgment on products that don't even exist yet and that we don't have solid information on.

You can talk with a lot more assurance about the negative aspects of the Prime than you can about negative aspects of nonexistent devices. The thing that is bothering me is all these people going "yup, higher resolution so lower battery life and laggier performance. case closed." Apple, even if I'm not a fan, I can guarantee will manage to bring higher resolution along with better battery life and performance. Guaranteed. Android tablets? I'm less confident they can pull it off, but I can guarantee they will at least put a solid effort into trying to accomplish that. But I still believe some manufacturers will manage to find ways to marry higher res with better battery life and performance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
This is about performance. You act as if prime has been out a long time now. Only been a few days really since people started recording their devices. Plus for every negative thing said towards prime, there are those and more who have no issues and more than satisfied with device. With device release so early in the game, it's actually not fair to make negative assumptions based on a minority of people with issues.

Plus people a were being Debbie downers about Prime/Tegra3 well before device even dropped and finally released. Actually kinda funny how those same ones who were mostly negative or doubtful about the prime, before release, are the ones experiencing the issues now. Yes, some issues are real and needs addressing asap. But these are the minority. Every tablet/phone/electronic device has issues affecting the minority in the beginning..

To the other guy saying I was wrong about 1080p output on prime display, I worded it wrong. Fact still stands Prime display is great and is the best out for any tablet at the moment. Everything still looks great on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] monkey10120:
After reading this thread it makes me wonder why these people are here on the Prime forum talking **** about the Prime and Tegra 3 and praising Apple.

Why are the people here that think that resolution does not matter when it comes performance? Anything over 1080 is pointless in a 10" screen. There will never be movies out with any resolution bigger that 1080 for a few years, and there is no way in hell a mobile processor will have that gfx capabilities. And by the way 1080p video would look THE SAME on anything over 1080. I have a 30" 2560x1600 monitor and it looks the same as my 32" 1080p lcd. And why are people making rumors about the Ipad 3's screen. How many of the rumors were right about the Iphone 5. I laughed so hard when it came out and nothing was right!:D Give up apple fans and actually do something with your life rather than put down people who do not wish to convert to apple. Apple fans are nothing but stuck-up people who cant get enough of doing nothing on their communist products. Had to let that out.

The next gen on tablets are supposed to come out this year (hopefully) with the Tegra 4 (Wayne) processor. Thats when you can expect higher res screens and great performance. And people have to accept android for what it is. ios is on 2 products, 2!!! there are 200+ android devices. There are going to be bugs and software not fully using its hardware to the limit. Suck it up if you have a 1/100 sec lag swiping across your home screen.Boo hoo It will be fixed in later updates. My acer a500 had a similar problem. When I scrolled on the apps on 3.1 it was flawless, >60fps. update 3.2 same thing, but 3.2.1 it goes to 5fps. But guess what, I deal with it. I still use it daily and its life. Nothings perfect. YES not even apple (I can feel apple fans now cringing).

Ever since the prime came out I have been hearing nothing but whining. Its laggy when I swipe across screens, the browsers slow, my gps doesnt work fast( how may people use gps on their tablets over their phones), the games suck, im not get 100 hours of battery life whatching 1080p youtube movies while listening to music and downloading apps from the market with super IPS+ on at the same time. Sorry your life sucks.

I love my prime.I have none of those issues and if i did I would not make a new thread saying that this tablet sucks.

If your going to make a comment on how android or tegra 3 or the prime sucks, do it somewhere else. People come to this forum for support not arguing. There is already a thread on how people hate their new prime and think it is the worst product they have ever seen. Support them burn every electronic in your house buy all apple products and worship steavus christ because he might tell you what you can actually do on them besides browsing on 1/2 the web and waiting for your game to come on mac a year later, because android is not for you!

wow, someones cranky lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] The Janitor Mop:
^(Edit: for the post above the post above this) Sorry, but you're the only person in here who isn't being reasonable.

1. I'm not "talking ****" about the Prime. How is calling it the best Android tablet "talking ****"?

2. I don't think you know what 1080p is, because you seem to be inferring that the Prime's screen resolution is already 1080p (which it's not; 1920 x 1080 is the standard baseline resolution for what 1080p is).

3. The iPad's screen resolution is more than just rumors. There's significant evidence that production has already begun for 2048 x 1536 resolution displays for the device, and all along we've known that one of Apple's focuses for the iPad 3 is to "double" the screen res.

4. I'm not an Apple fan. I don't own any Apple products and I prefer Android to iOS. But I'm not a ridiculous Android fanboy and I'm willing to admit that Apple does certain things very well.

5. You're completely overblowing the complaints about the Prime. A lot of people are having legitimate discussions about the pros and cons about the Prime. Deal with it. You're the textbook "complainer about complainers" who wants to censor all negative (even legitimate negative) opinions about your product so that everything you read is all rosy and makes you feel better about buying your product.

2. I don't think you know what 1080p is, because you seem to be inferring that the Prime's screen resolution is already 1080p (which it's not; 1920 x 1080 is the standard baseline resolution for what 1080p is).

I know the prime does not have a 1080p screen. I was going with the arguments that screens should not be more than 1080.

I know there is evidence that the hardware can support it like tegra 3 can but just because then can go that does not mean they will unless then have good performance.

Also I was not pointing fingers at anyone, just frustrated with all the negative comments on the forums about the prime. sorry if I offended.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LocutusEstBorg:
After reading the whole thing, I get the feeling I'm supposed to come away with the conclusion: Current mobile CPUs and GPUs don't have enough bandwidth to update the UI at 60FPS at 800x480.

Then why is the iPhone 4 butter smooth at 960x640 with an extremely underpowered CPU and GPU compared to current Android phones? Why is the new iPad butter smooth at 2048x1536? That's a LOT more pixels than a 1080p Bluray movie. Why do they both have instant touchscreen response without annoying input lag?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MACBLACK91:
Thats because ios is made like that, if you put a finger on the screen all of the background information is being shutdown and thats why it so fluid
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
You backtracked 30-40 pages plus to find this dead thread and that's all you say..lol. you are correct though. Ipads gpu gives its GUI top priority over everything else. So its like you say, as soon as you touch its screen, everything else stops. Unlike on prime where page or whatever background process will still be loading up. I'd prefer the latter method.

Plus Microsoft just announced new touchscreen technology that puts everyone else's to shame. Most have a 100ms delay from touching screen to action. New Microsoft touchscreen has a 1ms or less delay. That's blowing the competition away on touch responsiveness.

I dont wanna interject this comment here, but I have not posted enough to put this where it belongs. I usually just read alot of what is said.

Here is my q. Where to I find the(epic or asop) zips that will change the lockscreen (not the 9 mod) and how do I get the text on the phone back to the way it was on the last rom?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
There are no zips provided by random for just the different lock screens. You can use different default locks under settings>location and security. You can also use stuff like widget locker from the market for more lock screen choices. Random posted a link to one of qbking's vids about changing fonts a few days back. He said he may post a link in the op to return to the previous font soon, but I do not know which one it was. The old font seemed to cause a bit of an issue with the latest facebook app not looking proper all the time. There are many different apps including rom toolbox that can change fonts to whatever you like.

I too installed the Thunderhawk 3.3 ROM, and I don't have enough post to put this in the developers section, so I figured this would be a good spot to consolidate my post.

Issue: Phone will no longer ring. Goes right to Voice mail.

Carrier: Sprint

Phone: Samsung Epic

I've created the folders as suggested, and added the ring tones. Maybe the issues was the way I reinstalled everything? I had ACS ICS installed before this ROM. I used ACS Recovery v1.0.0.5 pre-rom install wipe, Installed the Thunderhawk 3.3 ROM zip. But then after the phone booted I used Titanium Backup and did the restore all system/app data. Any help would be appreciated!

Please disregard...Ended up re flashing and just installed certain apps with Titanium Backup. Seems to be working now.

I wanted simply to thank all of you ROM developers for all your work. I don't have time to work on anything like this (college) and I would not be enjoying this phone as much as I am without you. Also, you all removed CIQ months before it was a mainstream issue :)

I would like to issue specific thanks to

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kdwolf85:
I created some themes a while ago for the Captivate. I was thinking of porting some of them while I'm on leave for the Holidays. I only have a few days left and my working hours are ridiculously long. So, if I do port them I may need someone else to pick-up maintaining the themes. The poll on here is just to figure out which themes the community would like me to port. Keep in mind that some of them were made for the Captivate on Froyo before we had GB. If new screen shots for the themes are needed I'll provide them as requested. Links to the themes can be found in my signature.

Hello,

I bought a brand new sim free s2 from ebay a month ago, it seems for some reason to come up with today "Mobile Network not available" and will not make call or text even though I have a full signal. I cannot seem to get around this problem. Ive tried putting latest firmware on it (KI3), adding orange as CSC and nothing seems to work. Internet works through orange network. Sim card works in my iphone and also put in o2 sim and does the same thing.

I cannot seem to find a post on here that tells me a solution or anywhere else. So if you can shed some light this would help a lot.
