1/ there is no point, resolution-wise

2/ with iphone there is a VERY limited range of file formats you CAN actually play, so you will spend half your life converting to a format that apple can control. Most my 1080p movies are mkv format, a format that works on Galaxy S but not on iphone. All my SD movies are Divx and Xvid, again, not compatible with iphone.

:D well apparently the people with iphone4 are too rich and too <insert what you think here> to care about that.

they probably think they have super wireless and can stream a 1080p movie and watch it over the air :p

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
Anything that can be done on the iphone 4 can be done on the galaxy s, just needs the right software to be made.

The only difference between the iphone 4 and the GS is the software, the screen, and the galaxy s having one generation newer gpu

Anyway what's the point in this? sd cards have a 4gb filesize limit, 1080p would waste so much battery for no benefit over a 720p file
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
technical spec yes

real life usage, not so great

wireless N is what i use for my home teather, yes it "works" but load time is horrible, as well as the random cut offs, then waiting for the load time again.... it's a pain in the aussie

it's much more convenient to first copy the entire movie into the hard drive via wireless N, then watch it

but that defeats the entire purpose of streaming a movie
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeko:
Well, I may want to stream a 1080p movie from my media center? While realtime transcoding can be achieved with some hardware, not everything has that option.

Not that this is an issue now anyway as we don't have 802.11n yet anyway.

Yeah. I'm an Apple fanboy that's why I bought Galaxy S and not iPhone 4.

Indeed I own iPhone 3GS (it can play 720p flawlessly) but I preferred SGS over iPhone 4.

I just couldn't manage to play 1080p and I was wondering if there are people here who can. And I didn't really mean 15-18fps, but 24 at least.

AFAIK, Sammy was only going to enable the wireless n drivers in froyo.

As for 1080p videos, it may also be expected on froyo when the full RAM is enabled.

of course I could be wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam3sjam3s:
I was thinking about 1080p recording too. If SGX535 in iPhone is capable of 720p recording at 60fps, SGX540 may be capable of 1080p with Froyo (even if its 20-25fps)

EDIT: I don't think Sammy will actually release update for 1080p even if SGX540 is capable of it :(

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RudigerIsNotMyName:
Why would you want to play a 1080p movie on an iPhone? That's the stupidest thing i've heard today. My Galaxy S has no problems with 720p MKVs and I don't need to CONVERT THEM! I had an iPod Touch and it took hours to convert a movie to an "Apple friendly format".

But I like Macs :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam3sjam3s:
Оk, I'll answer why

I

would want 1080p on Galaxy.

1. I'm curios what are the hardware capabilities.

2. No need to convert the files

3. We can actually use 1080p playback, 'coz we have DLNA and microUSB to HDMI

4. I'm wondering if SGX 535 can play 1080p, is SGX 540 able to record 1080p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SC001:
1 go google for samsung galaxy S spec

2 no need to convert files i have 720P stuff on the phone ripped from youtube and it plays

3 leap of video quality from 720p to 1080P is not much but from 480 to 1080 is more noticable so 720p is good quality with lesser mb in terms of disk space.

4 what is the point of it, if you want 1080p recording go wait a few years grrrr.......
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickeko:
And who appointed you royal decision maker on what's good enough quality?

Try comparing 720p vs 1080p on a 65 inch TV, and then tell me the difference is "not much".
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam3sjam3s:
1. The specs have nothing to do with capabilities.

2. I don't care if you have 720p stuff. I'm asking about 1080p.

3. Well ok, but that has nothing to do with my question.

4. OMAP4 is able to record 1080p and we will see it in a device till the end of the year. It has 720Mhz A9 + SGX540. I guess its the most obvious thing to ask if 1GHz A8 + Intrinsity + SGX 540 will be able too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanwray:
1. I rather think they do, just a little :)

4. I suppose the question comes down to not just 1920 x 1080 from the crappy sensor thats in the Galaxy (already high noise and colour distortion along with bad compression), but also to do with data rate. Currently less than 12 Mbits/s with crappy compression on 720p, don't get my hopes up for 1080p at even double that data rate. I'd rather see a hack to the compressor to take full processing advantage and up the data rate than 1080p. Will stick with my HD cams for that ;)

720p at 24Mbit would make me smile.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredphoesh:
1/ you would be stupid to measure "hardware capabilities" by whether it can play back ONE codec of h.264 1080p video

2/ apple can not play mkv (the most common HD format used on the web), cannot play back Divx and Xvid (the most common SD formats used on the web), and cannot play a whole host of other, very popular formats, flv, wmv, mpg etc... so when you say you would not need to convert, you are quite right, as long as you are doing the encoding.

3/ nice, Id love to see more about that, please post a link or three.

I'm still baffled at the point. When would you want to play videos off your phone onto a big screen, I mean, assuming the battery would last for a whole film, your huge HD TV is not exactly portable, so is it because you cannot afford a Home Theatre System, Laptop or Bluray/HD box or Popcorn Hour etc?

Most modern TVs can also simply play videos off a memory stick, so I dont get the point...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SC001:
if you wanna play 1080p stuff on a big screen tv go buy a Media center ( i have) or a blu ray player (wich i have also)

Still not getting why people wanna play full hd stuff on their cell or stream it on the tv...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjabah:
So how does the portability compare between that media center, blu ray player, and your SGS???

Maybe you would like to show off the SGS video output in 1080p (if possible).

I'll agree with the other poster who said 720p on 65 inches is not that great, it isn't very good on my 61 inch either.

Why would we not want our phone to do everything possible and if it didn't come like that out of the box, how is that not a Development question??

I personally want my phone to be bad ass as possible, regardless of how pointless it might be :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windy31:
It should be cool if we can play 1080p with our device.

However that was quite useless in our real life.

The only pro I can think about is if you already have 1080p movie you don't need to convert it to 720p or below to watch it in your device.

To answer some of your question our device already have highest hardware available right now in the smartphone market. So I think if those Iphone4 are able to play it we also should however there aren't any developer to make it real yet since as I and everyone around here said before, it's quite useless :p

Hah bitrates are what make a picture quality, 720 only relates to the actual resolution.

They are the same resolution, but the 6.5GB has a MUCH higher bitrate, so it looks that much better. Same resolution, different bitrates etc. "and yes same container MKV with same codec" yup

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewok666:
1080p for a phone must be the dumbest request/idea ever! Only someone without any clue could ask for such a feature.

Even IF the device's display was 1080p capable you would have to hold a 4" screen no further than 6" away from your eyes to be able to tell the difference between this and 720p

Cleary the Glalaxy S display is NOT 1080p. It's not even 720p so even that is a waste in a way although 720p does look slightly better than SD divx.

True.....the battery will take a beating when playing 1080p but most importantly....where the hell would one store the 1080p content? 1080p movies range from about 6 to 20+ GB as x264 MKV's!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
I know the difference between bitrates and resolution. But did you actually look at a 720p recording from an SGS? They don't really suffer from compression, but there sure as hell isn't 720p worth of detail there. It just looks like a decent quality SD video. You may as well just record in SD (or maybe 480p) and you will get the same level of detail. Any higher and it's a waste of pixels.

Same goes for the photos. Even with pictures taken in sunlight, zoom in to 100% so that 1 pixel on your screen matches 1 pixel in the image. It's not even close to 5MP.

I guess they're all guilty of this bulls**t marketing. Although from what I've seen the iPhone 4 recordings do look sharper, looks like they actually manage 720p worth of detail in sunlight. Although something doesn't look right with the colour.

And certainly, the proof:

"As a teaser let us all be reminded that the hardware used in Galaxy S now is capable of 1080p video playback, a capability used only in Galaxy TAB. This was not a mistake from Samsung, but rather a conscientious choice."

mobile-review.com/review/sonyericsson-x12-en.shtml

+ my friend test EVE Online: Incursion ( eveonline.com/download/videos/?type=2 ) trailer 720p and 1080p on his Galaxy S with official Android 2.2 and results are:

standard player - 720p - ok, 1080p - doesn't play

yxplayer 1080p - doesn't play

yxplayer pro 1080p - play with lags

Rockplayer 1080p - has suggested to choose software and hardware acceleration; software - play with lags, hardware - standard player doesn't play

[General Questions and Answers] AaronLMC:
The simplest suggestion would be to remove the SD card from the phone and use a card reader to place a new ROM on it.

If this doesn't work for some reason, you can connect to your computer via Wifi and use ADB to push a new ROM onto the SD card. However, if your phone won't mount the SD card when you plug in the USB cable there is probably something wrong with the way it is communicating with the SD card.

An external card reader is your best bet.

Just to double check - can you access your SD card when you boot the phone in recovery mode?
