[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Mr. Chen, I do humbly bid you good morning.

I certainly do appreciate your enlightenment on the current state of our beloved Android devices HD capacities. I would like nothing more than the opportunity to view this device with 1080p resolution. As my signature indicates, I also possess a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 10.1. But, it has no HDMI output. So sad to see this missed opportunity. I am franky quite puzzled by my monitors display of 720p as their native resolution is 1920x1080. A BenQ monitor and a Samsung HDTV/Monitor, 27", I believe. The display in my monitors can certainly reproduce this resolution, it is a fact of daily usage, but perhaps the HDMI circuitry within these displays are fixed at 720. Being 7:00 AM and not having slept yet, I cannot research it at this time. But you do bring a fascinating and perhaps overlooked feature of our devices to light.

My Mitsubishi HDTV is older technology, 1080p with only RGB+HV sync. Antiquated indeed, thus ruling it out as a test monitor. I can help in some situations, I took the Bluetooth audio issue to our beloved and devoted developer, Stargo. He took it on as a pet project, worked hard, and found an ingenious way to beat the Motorola compiled blob by integrating it into an audio wrapper, lacking source code, this was one of his very few options. I am surprised he took on the project but I understand it. Technical people when confronted by a puzzling situation that needs rectifying, are bound by personal interest and field of study curiosity to investigate. Being an electronic tech, I found myself in the same situation many times. The Bluetooth audio issue was not my claim for discovery, it was brought to this thread by a younger member, for whom I wish I could remember to give credit. I would like to attempt to offer your issue the same appeal, but, Michael is an OMAP4, Droid Razr developer and has no input across the entire cm11 device line. However, he does have many friends and is well connected.

We are personal friends and have lengthy discussions. I am amazed that a brilliant and ever so busy man like Michael can take the time to engage in not only technical matters, but in friendship and cultural discussion. We learn a lot from each other. I am very proud of Stargo, he is young, talented, in a great University for computer science, and has his entire life ahead of him.

Because you bring great truth to this thread, with eyes wide open for discovery and reporting, I will bring this issue to the attention of our developer, or, he may peek in and discover it for himself. Perhaps with some subtle and gentle inquires, we can gather more information on the possibilities of 1080p being available in the cm11 line. It would be a terrible missed opportunity to not incorporate this feature into the line, if possible.

I will contact the developer and request an inquiry if at all possible and if necessary, send the necessary cable to Nuremberg where he resides for testing. It will take time, but we can at least ask. You are quite certain that these devices can indeed produce 1080p output in portrait mode for display? How does that appear, do you have wide black bars on sides of screen? Have you any sort of digital camera to show what this looks like, even a poor quality as it is difficult to capture a TV screen in crisp detail with a camera to show us? You know what, my friends have nice, big, new HDMI TV sets that I can test on. I shall carry my cable and test at first opportunity to view this for myself. My dear friend Paula is the Entertainment Queen and has every electronic device known for entertainment. Makes good work and money for me because she cannot set up anything and needs instruction to operate it. I have an appointment with her tomorrow night or most likely on Friday to see her.

Thank you Mr. Chen for your observations and enlightenment. The board certainly does appreciate such observations and reporting. Being an across the device line issue, I can only submit it for research and a possible fix. After that, we wait and see. Good morning Mr. Chen and please have a most pleasant day. We will speak on this matter again. ;)

Sincerely,

Ohmster. :cool:
