My antutu scores are in the 20 thousands also not 50 thousands. Also my quadrants scores are less then 14k. Rooted. Unencrypted. Phones 3 times as fast as stock in the real world but benchmarks still suck. Should I change kernel? I don't believe this resolution change. Not even interested but the scores I see of other phones makes me wonder if my phone is still poor in performance compared to others. As it was almost unusable while encrypted.
[Nexus 6  General] electricpete1:
Might I suggest a new thread since this has zero to do with display resolution.
[Nexus 6  General] dalrym05:
This is the only thread I've seen people posting benchmarks in so far. So that's why I asked here. In hopes of someone who has been in here to see it. I understand your suggestion but at the same time it was completely unnecessary.

why 420 dpi when a dpi calculator for the n6 screen size shows 369?

420 is for a 5.245" screen at 1080p

can someone explain this choice of dpi, i switched my screen to 369 and it looked fine small icons and text but just like 2k@493dpi
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Any dpi setting except 560, the device default, is user choice. This is because dpi is device independent and unlike the screen ppi rating of 493, adjustable. 420 was probably picked because it was a popular setting.
[Nexus 6  General] maxxwizard:
tried it just now, too many UI bugs. reverting to stock resolution and pixel density.
[Nexus 6  General] calden74:
Just use the app Second Screen. It's easy to use and fast. This is also the app you want to use when connecting a external monitor, as it allows you to create profiles with custom resolutions, aspect ratios and LDPI. I use this app to change my desktops DPI to 380, which is the DPI that changes the UI to tablet mode. If you haven't already done this, why not, using a 6" display with a 560 LDPI, the devices default, is frankly a waste. Why bother even buying a 6" phone when the UI looks like one from a 4" phone, again, just a complete waste. Especially if you plan on using multi-view, at 560 LDPI, this feature is frankly useless. At 380, you will see a huge difference. Ever wondered why Chrome doesn't have tabs like your Android tablet does, this is why. I can't stand using a browser without tabs, especially Chrome. it's just a horrible experience.

Here is a screenshot of my home screen and two apps running at once.

It was AWESOME for me (and my Nexus 6p). I play a lot of games on my phone and I managed to jump up from miserable 2:30 SOT (max 3h) to amazing 7:30h SOT (up to 8:30h SOT) while playing Pokemon GO !!!!

Fantastic stuff.
[Nexus 6  General] DeathBoT:
Same...

I did the same thing. I dont know if its because I invested in qi chargers for work and home now, but my phone is never dead. Did both at the same time unfortunately. I should switch back to stock and see if its the same. Really only care about battery life. Games I can always bump down with appsettings.
[Nexus 6  General] ZerosMadness:
I don't know how but i got 81212 on AnTuTu. I'm on stock resolution and PPI but I'm rooted. Maybe I'll try this to see if my Nexus 6 can get into the 100,000s :)
[Nexus 6  General] Knightvision:
Never run AnTuTu before now but just got 77204 on a stock resolution, stock PPI running Nougat preview 5.

3D: 32371

UX: 23263

CPU: 22721

RAM: 7949

Not sure this score means a whole lot as my phone is often sluggish and unresponsive and has to be rebooted or have ram cleaned to get it to behave. Benchmarks definitely don't indicate real world performance in my case.
[Nexus 6  General] genti.b:
I used before the N6 with 1080p resulotion thinking that it would make my battery last longer, but it didn't, not that I noticed it anyway.

Anyway, I ran just for fun the Antutu test on its native 1440p resolution, with the latest beta Nougat (rooted with CF) and the score was 77208. My usual SOT is 3-4 hours depending on usage.
[Nexus 6  General] mixedguy:
Thanks for posting this. I first changed the resolution to 1080p but could notice some "fuzziness" or "pixelation" if you will, when looking at certain things. So I then changed the resolution to the next 16:9 resolution above 1080p, which is 1152x2048 (360 dpi) and cannot notice a difference between this resolution and the stock resolution.

Navigating around the phone and using apps seems to be a overall much smoother experience from my testing and I haven't experienced any issues with the apps I use at this resolution. Will be sticking with this resolution from now on.

Does anyone know if the previous apps menu can be made to not re-scale the screens? In this screen capture I believe you can see each window has been magnified by about 1.5 times. I searched this and other threads but cannot find a solution. It's not a show stopper but annoying when your friend says "what's wrong with your phone?".

[Nexus 6  General] ghost010:
If you really think that changing the resolution would impact the battery, then you don't know how these devices work. Just look at your battery usage. What is on the top? Most of the time it should be screen. On is on. Chaning the res wont change the display from ON. Maybe you will noti some boost with gaming. But nothing worth the change.
[Nexus 6  General] mixedguy:
Doesn't the Galaxy Note 7 come stock with a "battery saving" feature that lowers the resolution to 720p? Apparently Samsung thinks lowering the res helps battery life.

Anyway, I'm not really interested in battery saving but I do see noticeable improvement in animation smoothness when navigating around the phone and also in apps, so I'll be sticking to this lower res (1152x2048) since I personally don't see that much of a difference, if there is a difference at all when it comes to picture quality
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
That feature isn't to save the battery, but to ensure your games run smoothly. Changing the resolution doesn't change the battery life, since the display is still driving all those pixels.
[Nexus 6  General] mixedguy:
I think people are confused about the benefit of lowering screen resolution and it's potential benefits on battery life. It's true that even if you lower the resolution that the screen still has to light up all the pixels but if the resolution is lower then that means the GPU doesn't have to work as hard to put out the same frames per second.

For example, let's say a game is capped at 60 FPS (Frames Per Second) and runs at your phones native res, then running at QHD resolutions would put far more strain on the GPU, therefore requiring more power, which then drains battery power faster. At a lower resolution the GPU is not strained as much, meaning potentially lower power consumption, which equals potentially longer battery life during gaming.

Same can be said about navigating around the phone since Android is GPU accelerated and capped at 60 FPS. Since it takes less GPU usage and battery power to run at a lower resolution then you are more likely to get more consistent performance across the board but since navigating around the phone and most apps are not as GPU intensive as a game then doing tasks like these would be negligible when it comes to battery life.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Heh. I'm not confused at all, because there is no benefit. Sorry, but fps has nothing to do with screen resolution at all. The game is still going to run at X frames per second regardless of what the resolution of the screen is set at. The only thing that is affected is the amount of information displayed on the screen at one time. A screen with an artificially set dpi lower than the factory setting will have larger screen elements, and those screen elements will take up more space on the screen. Yet the GPU still has to drive all the pixels in the screen, even if the elements are now larger.

Try changing your PC's resolution from native to something else and see if there is any change in the GPU's power consumption. If you don't see it in the PC, and I highly doubt you will, you won't see it in the mobile GPU either.
[Nexus 6  General] mixedguy:
Umm, resolution has is a huge determining factor on how many FPS you will be able to achieve in games. If that wasn't the case then there would be no benefit in buying high end graphics card over low end graphics card for your PC.

For example, look at the review for the 980ti GTX graphics card at the link below. Notice how the FPS is higher the lower the resolution is? Higher resolution puts more strain and requires more performance out of a GPU.

https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GTX_980_Ti_XtremeGaming/11.html
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Run the same test on Android.
[Nexus 6  General] mixedguy:
Doesn't matter if it's Android or not, resolution affects performance when it comes to games or anything that relies heavily on GPU performance. Here's a QUOTE from Anandtechs Nexus 6p review

"The onscreen test paints a similar picture, the 1440p resolution of the device brings down the frames per seconds considerably."

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9820/the-google-nexus-6p-review/4

Not sure why you think Android would be any different, it doesn't have any special abilities to make resolution not matter. If that was the case then every gaming console company would be begging to run Android on their hardware.
[Nexus 6  General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Because Android is not a PC, and its Linux-based software does not function in the same fashion. However, we are only focusing on half the argument here. It supposedly improves both performance and battery life. You may be able to quantitatively show that the performance is improved, but how does it affect battery life? Test that.

I don't believe that the performance gains will lead to significant, if any, improvement in battery life. And if that is true, then there is little point in changing resolutions.
[Nexus 6  General] mixedguy:
My original comment said it has potential to save battery life during gaming, if the games frame rate is capped at a specified number like 60 FPS.

For example, when I play Battlefield 4 (Capped at 60 FPS on a GTX 670) on my PC at 720p, the clock rate of the GPU never goes above 850mhz and actually dips to lower clock rates during less intensive scenes in the game. If I play that same game at 1080p then the clock rate stays maxed out at 1189mhz and never dips during any scenario in the game, this is because the higher resolution is more taxing in the GPU. If the GPU doesn't have to clock as high at lower resolutions during gaming then it draws less power, which means more power saved.

I'm not saying you're guaranteed better battery just because you lower your resolution, as it all depends on how efficiently the game is coded, how demanding it is overall and if the game is actually rendering at your screens native resolution and not at a predetermined resolution set by the dev but in some situations a lower resolution can potentially save power.

You are right though, maybe the potential power saving is not noticeable enough to care about but at the same time small amounts of power saving with better overall performance is only a win to someone that see's no noticeable picture quality degradation when choosing a lower res.
[Nexus 6  General] Munk0:
Wow, Strephon, you keep making this argument only about battery life as shown above. For me and probably MOST everyone else it's about buttery smooth performance with the POSSIBILITY of better battery life. For me, this two year old Nexus 6 phone stutters here and there when scrolling web pages, animations, the Play Store, Now cards, etc. By dropping the resolution from QHD 1440x2560 down to HD 1080x1920 or even less it's noticeable how much better the phone FEELS. This means less phone envy for phones coming out today that have the latest, greatest hardware.

For you battery may be everything but there are more points to this argument than just the battery.
[Nexus 6  General] mixedguy:
I honestly think Strephon is confusing DPI settings with resolution changing. DPI changes the size of elements on the screen at a software level, therefore performance is not affected. Changing resolution tells the actual GPU to output a resolution at a hardware level, which is why performance is affected
[Nexus 6  General] fortunz:
I tried combining wm overscan (for cropping) and wm size/density last night in hopes of getting the best of both worlds: fewer physical pixels lit up (battery life) and fewer virtual ones (speed). Unfortunately, it doesn't just cut to black around the image the way one-handed modes like motorola offers on other devices do, instead it drags out whatever color is at the edge of a side you've cropped is, so those pixels are still lit up in most cases.

There is an xposed framework module for one handed use that I think would do that right so you could get the combo. Alternatively, something like Pixel Filter could come at it a physical pixel reduction a different way.

Even so, the performance boost is legit and obvious (to any PC gamer at least). I just never knew before that there was a means to change the actual resolution in Android. Playing Civ Rev 2 at 720p while underclocked was a lot smoother and even cooler than just underclocked alone.
[Nexus 6  General] mr.pnutt:
I can honestly say that I love my phone the way it is. I had to get used to the size but it was worth it. I don't mind the resolution at all. The biggest reason I bought it is because I got tired of SD cards taking a dump and having to replace them, the internal storage is worth it. O just wish it had a FM radio antenna.:cool:

improves emulation fps

the 1080 resolution hack @ 420dpi does improve emulation speed when using 3D games on ppsspp. Before the res change I was getting ~450% unthrottled fps....after the res change I am now getting ~550% fps using the exact same speedup settings. Unthrottled is great for grinding so I am happy. Visually I havent noticed any UI differences or weird app issues.

I am using PureNexus Nougat and ElementalX with performance kernel settings. I doubt I'm saving battery life with these performance settings but I'm not concerned with SOT since I'm usu near an outlet or car if I need quickcharge.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0nuff:
I've seen a number of threads where people post about their device dropping network data connectivity, and needing a reboot to solve it.

My issue is a bit different. Occasionally (I've noticed it 3-4 times today) when I go to send a text (SMS) or to use a data enabled service like Hangouts, that my phone shows no bars at all.. not even just no data, but the bars are grey and there's a red x. I wait about 15 seconds and it reconnects, then another 10 seconds later, the data is live again.

Phone is a private sale and under 1 month old, and all the Stamina functions are off.. I do see that the "Queue background Data" is turned on, but I don't think this should effect, no?

Not sure what digits I should be looking at to know if this might be a hardware vs software issue.. build is listed as .93

Im no stranger to unlocking and flashing, but I've kept this stock cuz it's tight and I adore the battery life.

Suggestions?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0nuff:
Been about a month since I posted, and I'm still experiencing this issue. I often thumb my phone on and it's not connected. I don't really mind waiting for the 30 seconds or so that it takes to jump back on the network, but it often means I miss calls, and since it's my business phone, it kinda bums me out to suddenly get a VM notification of a missed call even though it never rang.

Is there some sort of utility that I can use to monitor the network activity to see how frequently it drops, and for how long? I've looked into ones on Play but they don't seem to have a history, just something that shows what data up and down is currently being reported.

Sadly the only Sony store in my city (and I think the country - Canada) has recently closed for good, so I'm not sure how to go about warranty repairs...

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kopsis:
Yes, it seems to be a complete loss of the mobile connection. When I wake the phone I see gray bars and a red X on the signal strength indicator. Within seconds the phone re-acquires and the indicator goes to 2 or 3 bars. I have also seen it happen with wifi active. The frustrating part is that it doesn't seem to do it often enough to troubleshoot. I'll notice the problem maybe a couple of times a month and there's nothing obviously different about my usage patterns in those instances.

Randomly I have no connection at all but after a few seconds everything wents back to normal. Did not have this problem with T-mobile in Germany but with with O2 I have. With T-mobile I had LTE but with O2 I don't, so I guess that's the reason.

Service Providers

In the mobile network settings one can change the service provider manually. With LTE enabled my provider has three entries: LTE, 3G and 2G. Connecting two LTE fails, because my provider blocked it in my plan. Having LTE enabled, it often tries to connect to LTE I assume. I switched off LTE and set the provider manually to 3G. Maybe that helps. We'll see.

Hey XDA,

So my DNA has been through hell and back. Several bricks, fully disassembled at least 20 times, new digitizer, new LCD panel, and several batteries, yet it still runs exceptionally well, and now on lollipop! Well after recovering from the latest brick (battery, think I got it this time though), the backlight on the LCD just flickers randomly. It sometimes stays constant, then just goes crazy. Could this be a fixable issue, or am I just going to have to get another LCD panel?
