[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeo087:
720p is actually 1280x720 pixels, the phone has 800x480, there should be no difference to your eyes from viewing a high quality 480p video or a 720p.... People are probably comparing a low quality 480p DVDrip with a high quality 720p video, and that's why they are seeing a difference (color quality and sharpness play a big roll here). It makes no sense to watch HD content on the phone, a good 480p will look just as good and will take less processing power...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tundra84:
Thank you!

That is exactly what I've been saying this entire time! And since true 480p is actually 848 x 480, I've been encoding all my videos to 800 x 450 because my hd2's screen just can't take proper advantage of hd. Somewhat ironic considering its name. It requires less processing power and with good encoding, you lose very little quality compared to the original video. This whole 720P playback seems to be just another marketing ploy like the megapixel battle was. Just another bullet to throw on the spec sheet. :cool:

Update: If anyone reading this would like to test the quality difference between video resolutions on their respective HD capable device, here's a great test clip in several resolutions: http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Yes, it's ideal to reencode to maximize size usage if you're gonna keep the video on the memory for a period of time.

However, for those HD videos that you've downloaded, and you have no wish to dl a SD version of it just for portable viewing, and it's something that you're gonna watch once and delete, that's where the functionality to view HD media comes in handy.

In short, it's more convenient to have the ability than to do without it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tundra84:
Hmmm good point. I suppose I'll just chalk it up to "convenient but not very practical." Thanks for all the great replies!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony800708:
Very true and i believe the 720p which actually is for the video output..i just got the Nokia CA75-U cable and the 720p video playback is amazing on big screen TV.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeko:
That's not 720p, it's standard definition tv.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin.B:
Yes, but I meant DVD resolution which has 720 pixels in width.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mstrandbo:
Besides, my entire collection is in 720p HD.. So when I'm going out and want a movie/series with me for boring times when travelling, it's nice to not have to convert them/re-download a lesser quality rip.

I also think I see a difference, tested with a SD-rip of Top Gear vs HD-rip of it. But might just be in my mind :) Seems sharper though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
You kow, videos encodings are at different resolutions for luminance and chrominance data.

Color data is often half or quarter the resolution of the actual video resolution.

A properly encoded 1280x720 video will look better than the same encoded at 840x480.

Considering the processing power, when video decoding and scaling are done by hardware, power consumption will be almost identical.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Not practical only for you maybe, but different people have different needs. Don't assume that you can decide for the whole world. :D

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dkotoric:
is ther ea keyboard like that in the market with just clear buttons, I would love to have that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] acrh2:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gmanvbva:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] redrazr7791:
Pretty d@mn cool feature if you ask me.

Hopefully this will reduce the number of wrecks-while-texting, but then again I think to myself; "How many people will actually own this phone AND use this feature:confused:"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] martijua:
I think its meant to be used while driving so you can hold the phone up and still keep an eye on the road. Thats the only time that I'd ever use it. I dont text and drive often....but it sure would be helpful those times that I do it.

I'd be safer if I just called them though, LOL
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Samsung clarified that it is for pedestrians. Could you imagine the **** storm if they were encouraging driving and texting in any way?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Raadius:
Awesome!

Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of some jerk that hit my car because he thought he could see the road in front of him using the Road SMS app lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] redrazr7791:
Unfortunately something tells me that what was once thought to be a good idea on Samsung's part, will eventually lead to lawsuits because of ignorant people :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
All they have to do is put a disclaimer that says not to use it while driving. Just like any kind of GPS.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] redrazr7791:
Never thought of that :o (brain a bit fried from studying all night)

[Shift Development] thaihugo:
Hi,

I've had problems with my wifi not working under Windows 7. Even going back to vista would not solve it. I first thought it was a hadware problem, but yesterday, I found it was windows 7 driver which was faulty.

If you don't have the wifi reconized, or the dreaded "no wifi network", please try the following:

Remove the SD card. Remove the battery, plug it again, reboot.

Go in the HTC control pannel. Make sure wifi is enabled.

Go to the device manager, find the wifi network card. If should have a yellow triangle or be down. Just disable the driver if not already disabled, the reenable it.

Reboot

You must be able to reboot (ie, windows 7 should not be stuck in the shutting down message)

Once rebooted, you should have wifi enabled.

If it's not working, try putting your windows mobile side off by putting it in bootloader mode for example. It should not boot. If wifi is not working and windows mobile is, then you haven't applied the solution properly. I'm not saying it's necessary, just that it's working for me with windows mobile off ATM.

Also, it seems putting the device to sleep create the problem. Try shutting it down each time for now. I'm sure there is a wrong parameter in the drivers for sleep mode that put the card to dead mode...

Please report if it helps.
[Shift Development] samstables:
Thanks for this. I've had loads of problems with Wifi if I try to use any SD cards so I bought a USB converter thingie and avoid the SD slot altogether...!

I do also use sleep/ hibernate a lot which I know makes the problem worse, but I like having Windows start up in seconds instead of minutes.

I'll try your technique and let you know if it does solve the problem for me - It'd be nice to use the SD slot again!

[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Is this a defect? Do I need to return the phone? I'm working with all the latest OTA updates.

I've tried to force 720p and 480p through settings, and tried auto-detect.

If I have it on the gallery app in a slideshow and plug it in, I see the "HDMI" label in the status bar before it goes black.

Strange thing is that the buttons still light up and go off with the HDMI cable plugged in if I hit the power button. But I can't use the power button to turn it back off. I have to do a battery pull.

PITA! HDMI was one of the reasons I bought this dang phone?

Can anyone out there think of any reason why this might be happening?

Thanks for any help.
[EVO 4G General] herbthehammer:
You're not the only one. My cable is collecting dust somewhere for the past month. Maybe cyan will fix it? This is my first htc and I'm starting to think I shouldn't hold my breath for the company to fix it. As time progresses, I'm liking this phone less. I don't know if all htc phones are like this that it seems like it was rushed to market too soon without fixing the glaring bugs with it.
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
I share some of your sentiment, but not all of it. I still love this phone. But HDMI was one of their big, giant marketing points that got me to buy it. A phone with an HDMI out! That's crazy! Also, when I think of what I can do with it it's pretty cool.

But for it not to work at all? Not one bit? That is just crazy.

My theory is that they didn't realize what kind of copyright hell they were unleashing upon themselves when they put it on there, and so they intentionally broke it. If they ever release some kind of source code maybe one of these chefs can make it work.
[EVO 4G General] rasterX:
Can you try another cable that is known to work? I've been messing around the HDMI output the past week since I got my cable (Molex #687860003, from eBay), and I think the implementation is pretty fault-tolerant. I've been plugging and un-plugging it repeatedly and never had a lockup, with and without the Gallery/Video application active. Blu-Ray rips at 1280x720p look and sound amazing for such a small device. There was some discussion on another forum about a bad run of Amzer cables (that caused lockups), so maybe it's worth borrowing someone else's cable and giving it another go before turning in the phone for replacement. Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] Vandam500:
I use it everyday without a problem (Youtube).
[EVO 4G General] Sprockethead:
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, I don't have another accessible. But you are correct in that I should try it with another cable (and probably on another TV as well).

I went ahead and bought this one. It looks legit, plus it's long. I'll test it again when it arrives. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...40086&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3062wt_1137

By "old" fps fix, which do you mean? I'm using the netarchy-toastmod 3.7.2.a kernel, which supposedly had hdmi fixed. (I'm going to update to the latest now, I hadn't noticed there was another.)

Should I be using a different kernel?

How many of you add the functionality to automatically open the input panel when focus changes to a text box etc? While this seems to be a user courtesy, I don't see it done often.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] heliosdev:
It's very comfortable to open the input panel and select the existing text by code so that the user can directly start with entering a new text. (instead of having to open the input panel and select the current text)

In addition the input panel could be closed when the user clicks the enter button.
