You guys are a marketers dream...

After about 15 inches, "the much higher 326 ppi is 'wasted' because the eye can't resolve sharpness above 229 ppi." The further away a person gets, the more gradual the reduction in perceived image sharpness.

So people need credentials and degrees to notice what they see with their eyes?
[HTC Droid DNA] BarryH_GEG:
People obviously see what they want to see. If it's physiologically impossible for the human eye to define anything greater than 229PPI beyond 15" then I'm guessing either there are some folks hear that have better than 20/20 vision or it's placebo. The article that's linked a couple of posts back explains it in more detail.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
i have 20/15 vision or maybe better that was years ago and i can tell a difference between this and my s3 side by side there is a difference. the rezound looked better than s3. you can see zero and i mean zero pixelation on the dna no matter how close you look. so why are people not saying the rezound was overkill too then? iphone 5 overkill? nope you can see the difference

Couple Replies

I am on Verizon currently - though I briefly had a t mobile account while testing the Nexus 4.

Overall experience. Both are fast - the N4 feels smoother with basic system tasks. Things like the lock screen (I use a pin), Notifications, and app drawer all feel smooth on the N4. They don't feel slow on the DNA but the N4 definitely benefits from being unskinned. Aside from that the DNA feels better in almost every respect. I don't feel like I'm going to break my DNA and the screen....My god the screen. The N4 doesn't have a bad screen its just...well...it's not the DNA's. ;)

The camera matters to me in a phone as I have found myself relying on it more frequently. The pictures on the DNA are better than on the N4. I do prefer the UI and navigation better on the N4. Though the gallery integration with multiple services in Sense UI on the DNA is one of several areas where the skin has surprised me with its utility. I also enjoy being able to long press on the homescreen to add widgets again and the added ability to search widgets is a nice touch.

Also - and this is just my usage - the DNA beats the N4 when it come to battery life.

To be fair once we reached "retina" resolution it was noticeable, but after that is diminishing returns. And in response to Leon, I have noticed my DNA handles direct sunlight great as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] milan03:
Whoever is still doubting DNA's 1080p screen should load a high bitrate 1080p Bluray rip samples and get your mind blown. Yes, getting 1080p content is a challenge, but if you find a way you'll become a believer.

A couple of screen related anecdotes:

I turned on the developer touch screen overlay (I haven't really done any actual Android development, just played around a bit on my old Droid Incredible) and didn't realize that the overlay draws lines for your touch movements. I was sitting in the dark and utterly convinced that the most stubborn hair ever was clinging to my screen. Every time I tried to wipe it off it just moved somewhere else!

I had also heard that it was impressive in outdoor light, but when I went to a deli for lunch I had a chance to try it out and was very unimpressed until I realized that I had disabled the auto-brightness feature. I enabled it and it was amazingly readable in direct sunlight (in southern California!).

People will toss out formulas and suspect scientific evidence that you can't perceive the difference but eyes are not digital and increased sharpness will yield a better display. I bought mine specifically because I do a lot of reading on my phone and I wanted that increased sharpness. The DNA has limitations that will make it not appeal to some people, but it is an incredible device.
[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
thats using macro lens, and our eyes does not have macro lens in them :p

i will say this as my opinion:

the DNA is a nice phone, and the screen is nice, based on what ive read (and i know by fact since ppi levels are higher). i never seen the device though...which will make my opinion not matter as much. a 5-inch screen with 1080p, i dont think it matters. almost no difference on a daily basis. comparing phones, yeah, you may tell, but you dont do that everyday. on such small screens, it will be just a small difference. if it was on a tablet, then heck yes, put 1080p on it. for those who have 720p screens, like me, then dont worry. the average eye can only see roughly 300ppi. in the future i will get one, but im hoping my then the processors and GPU are greatly improved to handle the screen and that onboard memory hits 128GB. we all need that kind of memory if we are going to have apps fully utilize that kind of screen (and processing power). right now, i think HTC compromised on the 1080p screen. in the future, it'll improve

so 720p is like seeing full HD on small screens, imo
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
People like to state that the human eye can't see detail above a certain PPI, or can't tell the difference above a certain FPS, but IMO that is simply not a cut and dry case. It depends a lot on the display technology used, certain phones appear to have higher detail even if they have a lower PPI.

I can clearly see a difference when comparing the DNA screen to the Note 2, GS3, MAXX HD, Thunderbolt, and many other phones.
[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
Of course you can see the difference when comparing with the thunderbolt lol. But when not comparing, it'll look almost the same as a 720p non-pentile screen. Well, even comparing a non-pentile 720p screen, I don't think you'll see huge differences. It'll get much better in the future. All I see is right now, its just to have it. There not a huge benefit for it yet

[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I have a GNex right next to me. I assure you, the difference is noticeable. Especially in text.
[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
I do agree, texts are better. But other than that, what are the other benefits? Nothing huge right now. When things can start utilizing the screen, then it'll be different. And the gnex is pentile. I meant non-pentile screens. Oh, and the one x has been stated as the best screen seen on a phone by some before the DNA. Someone should compare it to the one x

Sent from my Nexus 4
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
I was referring to your

comment.

Text is a major thing though. It is everywhere.
[HTC Droid DNA] Strategist:
The difference in those photos is more about colour accuracy than resolution though. And as some of the commentors suggest it may be something wonky is going on with the auto white balance while snapping the pics. There is no way the S3 is as off-colour as those photos indicate.

Furthermore there is the issue of how much it matters in actual use. If the screen all look great in real use does it matter if one looks much better under a magnifying glass?

That's why I think the best guide is real user experience. And when it comes to 1080P I think the best comparison is the DNA with a great 720P non-pentile LCD display of roughly similar size; the OneX being the obvious candidate.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
I agree, 1080p is nice, but it's not some groundbreaking achievement that everyone will have to get right away or feel like they are missing out on something great.
[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
yeah, text is everywhere...but 720p are capable of seeing it as well. it may not look as good as 1080p, but it still looks good. it just for bragging rights to have the screen right now. 5-inch screen is small...put 1080p on tablets then we all can talk about it. thats when you'll see the bigger benefits

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

i agree with the One X statement. a couple reviewers (one from android central) said that even though the DNA has a 1080p screen, basically dont disregard the One X. it still has a very good screen. it can hold its own
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Except for when viewing true hd content, and there is a huge posh for hd nowadays

[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
true, but most HD type videos are only 720p so far. i havent really seen 1080p HD content being online for streaming or bought from online stores (like iTunes or Play Store). i can be wrong though
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Well that's cause all devices were 720p. With more 1080p devices to come. The content will too

____________________________________________________________

" I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
[HTC Droid DNA] xxfallacyxx:
This. Other limiting factors come into play as well, such as available bandwidth. Honestly it'd be silly to have a device with a 1080p screen when it doesn't have the ability to either A) Stream media at appropriate bandwidths to compliment available screen resolution or B) Store internally the large files necessary to view the content at full resolution.

Availability of 1080p content is a big issue too. It can get annoying to find content in a true 1080p format, most is currently 720p with added borders to get a close approximation of 1080p resolution.
[HTC Droid DNA] milan03:
Ya... that's not the best argument man.... Load 1080p on your DNA and your eyes will pop out... literary. Doing the same on 720p screen is redundant and the pixels get squished.

Also taking a full 1080p video on your DNA is a whole another experience.

Ya'll should actually try DNA instead of theorizing 24/7...
[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
Well of course 1080p videos won't look good on 720p screens. I know that. But I said right now its not really beneficial yet. Streaming 1080p videos is not even available yet. Its all 720p right now at the most. Even movies sold its only in 720p. Putting 1080p videos on your phone's internal memory...good luck. Unless a phone comes with 64GB or 128GB internal memory, then it'll be good. A stronger processor and GPU is also needed. Just because the DNA is first at something, doesn't make it entirely beneficial or better. It'll take time before it starts to be needed.

I think a tablet would be more useful for 1080p because it has a larger screen size which then helps in watching movies and reading books

[HTC Droid DNA] pottersam:
If they wanted people viewing 1080p videos on the DNA they should have given more than 11gb of internal storage. The DNA screen is nice dont get me wrong, but its not that much better than an iphone screen and potentially worse than the One X screen depending on how you compare them.
[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
Yes! Thank you. Some people just don't understand...1080p screen has been compromised in the DNA. Later on it'll be good, if phones get a huge amount of internal memory for the apps and videos that will make use of it. The market also needs to start using/selling or whatever 1080p videos

[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
Google play has 1080p content, but won't let it stream to phones. I'm sure this will change soon as more 1080p phones are released. And there is no problem streaming 1080p on lte or wifi.

I find it ironic that someone with a nexus 4 (either 8gb or 16gb) is on here pumping up more storage...

Funny how most are forgiving the nexus 4 for low storage and no sd card because it is a "pure" google device. The last "pure" google phone was a POS.

Storage wars are dumb guys....and I was referring to steaming content.with lte and Wi-Fi this is no problem

[HTC Droid DNA] 0.0:
yes, i know, ironic. i'll admit it. i did go from a mytouch 4g to the nexus 4...i wanted an upgrade. anyways, for 1080p, when the processing power thats needed is released, then it'll be good. and content needs to come as well. but i dont see why 1080p needs to be on a 5-inch screen. a tablet, yes, but im iffy on the phone part. oh well, i will still be getting a 1080p screen phone with VoLTE capabilities, with at least 50mbps download and upload speeds, as well as 128GB or 256GB internal memory when it comes to 2015-2016 :p (yes, im a dreamer lol)

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/oppo-find-5-1080p-smartphone-u-s/

Oppo is also releasing a 1080p screen phone. Will be interesting to see how the screen compares with the DNA. Presumably we will see a rush of of 1080p phones in the next six months which will hopefully lead to more 1080p content on the play store.

Also wondering how people are feeling are about their 1080p screens after they have used it for a few weeks. Does it feel as if you can't go back to 720p or is it just nice but not essential?
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
So basically that phone has the exact specs people were expecting (besides networks). That's good more phones are coming out with 1080p - it means app developers are going to feel the need to get 1080p capabilities done faster.
[HTC Droid DNA] 4ktvs:
Well I have all way's wanted a 1080p phone, so I will be looking at the DNA soon in store and be waiting for the OPPO Find 5 to see if it has a SD card slot. If not for that then maybe for the better battery.

I have a Verizon and AT&T line with unlimited data, so I don't care that much. LOL

There are 3 configurations to mod this case. Since the original bumper case cost $20 and you can mod with different colors cases, this cost $4. If you can find any other cases that's cheaper, than it's a plus.

I labeled where to cut in numbers (1,2,3). How far you want to mod is up to you. Be safe and wear gloves when you're cutting the case. I'm not responsible for any injuries or broken parts in this mod.

1. Cut at box 1 all the way to the right edge. Reasons (sounds doesn't come out as good when you laid the phone on it's back). Skip this step if you're doing a bumper case and go to step 3.

2. Cut at box 2, if the front of your case on both sides is grabbing the phone. Reasons (original design to touch smoothly all the way to the edge) Skip this step to step 3 if you want for a bumper case.

3. Cut at box 3 on the back of the case close to the border. Enjoy!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warthog01:
Hi

This one's a little strange--I've seen a similar problem noted only once on another forum and there was no response. When listening to music on my headphones, there is an occasional (every 5 minutes or so) surge to max in the volume--uncommanded as I haven't touched anything. I've got to assume it's phone related as it occurs in a number of different players: PowerAmp, N7Player, and WINAMP. It's very disconcerting (and a bit painful as well). Can anyone shed some light on possible causes or remedies?

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo4u:
Hi Guys,

I've been using custom kernel/ROM for sometimes now, and I hear a lot about overclocking.

And I know that overclocking is "not so good" for the phone. Was wondering whether the same applies for under-clocking also.

Oh, and 1 more question is about decreasing just the "Minimum CPU frequency" to something like 245MHz. Will that be bad for the phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christian Nothing:
Our phone support overclocking to 729 max and min 320 if you underclock it your phone will be laggy and not responding . Those frequencies are the best for it and will not harm your phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo4u:
ya i know underclocking will definitely reduce performance. What if I keep the Max freq as 600MHz and reduce the Min freq to 245MHz. I just want to know whether it will harm my phone or not.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myawan:
No it will not harm your phone!
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPChaim:
I'm using oc since the first week I owned my phone and it's running fine.So, min freq:480(it use the same freq as lower clocks and reduces wakelocks) and max:600 or more
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluespoon4:
Actually the point of underclocking is to use a different frequency, 245 will use a lower frequency than 480. Also, frequency has absolutely nothing to do with wakelocks, 122 will have the same number of wakelocks as 806. You should set the minimum to whatever works for you, some people like 245, some people like 320, some people like 480. Underclocking can't damage the phone, so use whatever works for you.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPChaim:
Are you sure...?Take a look on what fserve posted in his kernel thread:" NOT underclock below 480MHz. At lower speeds, wakeups-from-idle per second are bigger than 480MHz and they share the same voltage, so thats leads to more battery drain. It's recomended to use: MIN 480 / MAX YOUR CHOICE more about it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=999064 and here: http://xdaforums.com/show...2&postcount=22"
