Fellas, the issue with the screen resolution claim is about the acutal image they displayed while talking about it.

What they showed as beingthe 4x iteration, wasn't actually a properly upsampled letter.

ZERO to do with the actual screen technology and 100% to do with whoever put the video demo together.
[General Topics] flarbear:
Just to be clear here. The discrepancy here is not due to the 2xPPI == 4x#pixels issue.

Apple is claiming that the new screen is double the "pixels per inch" in both dimensions which gives it 4 times the pixels. Ignoring whether they have some sort of non-standard pixel layout like the pen-tile AMOLED screens, nobody is debating that math.

But, the problem that was pointed out in that article is that in their marketing images they are showing an example of what a character looks like when rendered anywhere from 3x to 5x the number of "pixels per inch" which means they are showing what a character looks like on a screen with somewhere between 9x to 25x the number of "megapixels" or pixels per square inch.

In reality, what they are doing is just showing a pixelated character and then a character at full resolution on whatever medium they are describing the improvement without regard to whether the number of pixels is correct to match the specs. They are trying to show you what "type" of improvement you will see, not the exact "extent" of that improvement. In the case of the projection screens at the keynote, it is probably not likely that a difference of merely 2x2==4 would have been visible from the rear seats in the auditorium so they went up to 5x5==25 to get the point across. The image on their web site looks like it is closer to 3x3==9 which is much closer, but still an exaggeration.

In either case, the images should have been tagged with a disclaimer that the resolution difference was exaggerated to show the nature of the improvement.

On a related side note - I also get a kick out of the claims that 300 DPI is beyond the resolution of the human eye (paraphrasing).

Ummm... DPI is not related to the eye's ability to resolve details, unless it is combined with distance. You can have a 5 DPI display at a hundred feet or so and the eye might not be able to see the pixels. Or, you could put a 600 DPI display right in front of the eye and see all the pixels you want to see. Until you couple a DPI rating with a viewing distance it has no bearing on whether the eye can resolve the pixels.

This isn't so much a lie, though, as I'm sure they are referring to 300 DPI at the typical distance a phone is used from the eye, but that isn't universally true for eveyone's usage habits. But, I'm sure quite a few Apple ignorami will believe that Apple has somehow fundamentally irreversibly and magically exceeded a universal threshold that has taken their technology beyond the absolute limits of human perception. Umm, right.

And, on a practical note, I would care about this distinction since I do commonly use my phone to do a little light reading with Alkido before I go to sleep and when I do that I have my glasses off and the phone maybe 2 inches from my face (I have really bad myopia) and I can see all of the pixels on the N1 (which is not so far away from the 300 DPI limit that they claimed) in all of their pixelated glory. I'm sure I would see the pixels on the new iPhone when I did that as well... :-(

[Update - I never watched the original keynote and I have now seen a few sites that discuss the advances in the iPhone 4 display who have more completely quoted Steve Jobs as having said "at a distance of about a foot" or something along those lines. That makes the statement actually reasonably appropriate so my comments above are based on quotes that were incomplete. You can't equate DPI to the eye's ability to resolve details without mentioning a viewing distance and it appears that Jobs correctly included the distance...]

I'm having a problem with my 8GB sandisk card. My Htc Legend keeps giving me a pop up in the notification blind that says SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. I've done some searching on google and notice people are having this problem with their Desires and other various android devices.

However I haven't come across a fix. I noticed one Legend owner had it occur after a restore of data from sd card. I'm having a feeling this happened to me as well since I got the OTA firmware upgrade yesterday. And I'm having the problem with the sd card today and I had the option to save date to sd. Today I unchecked it since I started using another card and I'm afraid of that one getting ruined.

Is there a way to fix my other card as I don't want to just throw away a perfectly fine 8GB card.

I've tried reformating in phone and pc. Have tried it in other phones. PC doesn't read it. Blackberry 8900 will not boot with it inserted and freezes if inserted after boot. myTouch 3G slide gives the same error. And does nothing when formatting.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobdeagle:

Hi all,

I guess my problem is very similar. Using an DHD with a 8 GB SD Card...

I did a factory restore including to wipe all data on SD card.

the DHD was rebooting and now I get the message Blank SD Card - SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem. in the notification bar.

is there any App I can restore my SD card? made full backup so ****ting on data just wana bring it back working.

Card gets not mounted... when I hit the message in notification bar it ask me to format card - I did multiple times with no success.

Anyone knows how to restore the card? Hope it's not gone for ever :-(

Thanks for help

The sd card usually goes to raw format. Raw format supported software can help you extract the files and then you can use the full format option in windows 7, quick format checkbox unchecked.

Running Froyo? Want the push to phone that was shown at Google I/O?

Well this isn't Googles, but this looks pretty close.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161941/

Install that in your Firefox.

http://outgoing.mozilla.org/v1/1a19...ooglecode.com/files/chrometophone-android.apk

Install that on your Froyo. (You'll have to allow 3rd party apps in your settings)

Open it and REGISTER by logging in.

Now back in your Firefox window, you should see a Black phone with a green arrow on it up near your address bar. Click it. Now watch your phone.

Enjoy :D

So im putting together a rom to release as soon as this is fixed. I didnt mess with any of the wifi files myself but im basing this off of 2.1.2 fresh deodexed and throwing on the freshtoast boot.img to give me OC. When i go to setting and then wireless and networks. i click on wifi to start it up and now it says unable to start wifi. I have no idea how to fix it. Any suggestions would be helpful. I even tried the already setup OC version of 2.1.2 thats out on the android dev forum.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Grab the wlan.ko from Fresh Toast. Otherwise wifi won't work at all since it's very closely tied to the kernel(and drivers) :P

You have to dl the Android sdk. Then install the java jdk. Once java is on u can run the Android setup. Once u have the sdk on u have to go to options and check force. Then u can see the components available. I chose the 2.1 and usb packs. That's as far as I got last night.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harleywastaken:

as for using adb, yeah - it's like DOS. you can use it to pass individual commands or as an interactive shell.

figured out what i was missing. Install HTC Sync to deal with the ADB drivers on the phone side(http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/HTC-Sync-Download-81096.html)

and then be sure to add the place you unpacked the SDK tools to the system PATH. after that, everything worked flawlessly!
[EVO 4G General] lisnup65:
Hello all. So far so good with my Evo, but I have been reading and reading and I did not see the answers to the following.

-If I create a ringtone with ringdroid it saves it sd/media/audio/ringtones and the file will show up in stock list when setting ringtone. I had a hero and have about 20 others that I placed into the same folder but they will NOT show up and the only way I can apply is to use Handcent. What is going on?

The next issue is with video. I have some movies and a few received video messages that played fine on the hero. I can play them on the Evo, but only using astro and clicking on them. They will NOT show up in gallery at all. On the hero Gallery was called photos so not sure if that is issue. 1 video out of 15 show in gallery and I placed them all in the same folder. Again, what is going on?

Thanks in advance,

Lisnup65
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
to solve your ringtones issue, make a ringtones folder on the sdcard. put whatever you want in there. don't go sticking them inside the folder made by ringdroid. you can do the same thing with a notifications folder and an alarms folder.

not sure about the gallery thing. i made a folder on my sdcard called movies, and i just navigate there with andexplorer. i never use the gallery for anything except photos, or videos i've actually captured with the phone itself.
[EVO 4G General] lisnup65:
I have done that and the rings nor notifications will show from phones menus. I can only see them when using astro. Now all my pictures are a no show in gallery. I guess its time for a hard reset unless others have input. I have unmounted sd card, removed, reinstalled, etc and the phone refuses to see pictures, or videos from gallery and it will not see ringtones in the SDcard/media/audio/ringtones folder except ones I create with ringdroid.

If I pull the card from the Evo and place in my hero, it works as expected.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foolforfood:
Download the ROM and put it on your sd card. If you are using windows, it will be just the sd card from windows explorer, otherwise the path is /sdcard.

After you have the Rom on your sd card reboot into recovery (where you made your backup) and choose "Flash .zip from SD card" and your ROm should be listed there. But In the future, the instructions are almost always in the first post of the ROM post.

There are two ways into recovery. If you are connected to the PC use adb reboot recovery. If you are just on the phone, turn it off and press and hold the home button while turning the phone on. I hope that's what you were saying :D

Unless I'm misunderstanding...It's true that mounting your SD card in Froyo with apps installed to the FAT32 partition means that your phone can't access applications on that FAT32 partition right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
Yeah, you're right. That's why Google doesn't support having Widgets, keyboards, and other always running services on the SD card. Its a trade off, but a sensible one I think. Having two volumes on the SD card is likely to confuse inexperienced users. Also they need to decide ahead of time how much space to reserve for apps on the sdcard. Too much and they can run out of room for their other data, not enough and they are right back to the old problem of no room for apps.

Anyway, there's no reason you need all your apps on your sdcard. As long as you can put your big apps like games and Google earth on SD you should have plenty of room for other stuff on internal memory.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:

I know, I know, you reading this thread are very disappointed of me, a noob, for asking this since a billion other of my fellow noobs already asked this. I just wanted to know what is the best rom out there today for the T-Mobile Mytouch 3g 1.2 (w/3.5mm). I have recently moved over from the HTC Touch Viva forum and I am amazed by all the development going on, considering the amount of people here compared to there. I have installed Amon_Ra's recovery and flashed a rom but didn't quite like it due to the Google apps always force closing (I think most people were having the problem with the rom) so I restored the backup. The only thing done to the phone is that I rooted it and installed the recovery. Thank You very much if you decided to point me in the right direction, and if you didn't, have a nice day.

Don't hate on me just because I'm a noob! I'm 16 and android modding is way more confusing than WM6.5/6.1, haha.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crypysmoker:
The best in my opinion is the one linked in my sig. The slide rom. it has everything you could want from dounut and a hero type rom. The reasons for all the google apps FC is because you have either not done a full wipe before flashing the rom, or may not have your sd card partitioned in 3 partitions.

Download, put on sd card, flash, Let it sit for about 15 min, it will take a long time to boot the first time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shafiq265:
That's probably why it FC so many times. I didn't do a full wipe nor did I have the SD card partitioned.

Do all ROMs require a partition of the SD card? How would I go about partitioning it?

I'll search around for it later. I have a math final to study for!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] robkoehler:
Can't go wrong with Cyanogen's Eclair ROM. No partitions required.

Thank you all for the input. I've downloaded SuperE a few days ago and it was the best ROM yet, everything works to the best of my knowledge. It's fast, smooth, and everything I would want from a non-official ROM. It actually feels like an official update from using it. I did have some random force closes, but it doesn't lower the overall score of the ROM. Eleven out of ten in my book! :D
