I know it's not true HD but is there anyway to get the Nexus One HD hack on Nexus S?
bump.........
nop.....no way....cannot be done....not possible... and search the NS forum for 720,HD recording.. there were threads like this and it was concluded its not possible....if it was you would see roms with 720p on them or something.... try LG camera from market to record with MP4 if it gives you any satisfaction.
even i used to wonder the same thing when i got my nexus s first..
no... there are 10 other threads about this.
can you link me thread please?
I know 720p isn't possible but nexus one 720p hack isn't true HD
so is there how can I do this?
And I've talked to a person on youtube who've uploaded 720p Nexus S recording
and said he's using Oxygen ROM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDjsLV4JCUw&feature=channel_video_title
his video
He says right in the comments that it is 720x480. That's not 720p. 1280x720 is.
but youtube upscaled it to hd video like how they did it with the nexus one hack.
How was that possible?
Upscaled is the key word there. It isn't true 720p. I mean look at it. It looks like a scaled low res video.
Edit: I know you said you don't want true 720p, you just want the hack. But really if it looks like crappy upscaled video, what is the point?

youtube does that for every video, it sets it in different p's but its not true 720p.

There are Google Devs that visit XDA right? Can one please confirm whether or not the Nexus S will do 720p. The specs say no, but I'm hoping its a typo. If not out of the box, then surely a software update will add it?
I would like to know this also
i'm not a google dev but it's confirmed that out of the box there is no 720p. Max resolution is 720x480.
However, the phone should support it since the Nexus one could and i'm pretty sure the galaxy s can as well. Hopefully within a few months (maybe weeks) of it being out with the source code people will be able to enable it.
the leaked nexus s sample video is 720p, so maybe it does have the feature.
here is the video and you can change the resolution to 720p: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM0n0H179jY&feature=player_embedded
Just throwing this out there, on the official nexus s page, it says it takes HD Video...
come on if you want to know info on a phone take at least do some HARD CORE researching lol. http://www.google.com/nexus/#!/tech-specs

Yeah it's that 720x480 spec that throws me off. I'm hoping its a typo. I did see where it said HD video. That and the youtube video testing the quality are good signs that point to 720p I guess. A confirmation and/or correction to the specs would be nice though.

Don't worry about it, it DOES have it. What make you think a (google baby) high-end, 2.3 android, 2nd phone in the nexus line won't have 720p? haha all high-end phones will be having 720p.
On their features page they have mentioned this;
The rear-facing 5 megapixel camera is capable of taking stunning pictures and HD videos that you can share with friends and family. The front-facing camera can take VGA quality images and video.

720 x 480 != 1280 x 720 != 720p
I'm hoping it's a typo, because I really want to like this phone.
Clearly the 720x480 video resolution is for the front facing camera.

(Just to avoid total typ'o'fest... 1280x720 (non-interlaced) == 720p)
720 x 480 is not VGA quality... so it may, or may not refer to the camera on the back...
It would be a GLARING mistake not to mention a functioning 720p recording on the spec sheet...

Sadly, no:

I Don't understand how this is even a question, we have established this is fundamentally the same phone as the current Galaxy S (I own one) which out of the box running 2.1 eclair had Full 720p support, both Video record (rear 5mp camera only) and playback, in fact it is so cool I am able to play the 720P .mkv High Def TV show downloads you see floating around on the net.
All this straight out of the box.
It will most likely be added later by google or a developer
Developers added 720p Recording to Nexus One

But yea kind of lame by default its not supported considering galaxy S does

Dont expect the same support on the NS those video codecs were supplied by samsung since this is Google only i wouldn't expect the same playback support the galaxy s line had .mkv...ect

Actually its:
720 x 480 != 1280 x 720 = 720p
With Nexus S, however, an unexpected trick - in contrast to the Galaxy S, he writes not 720p video, but only 720x480. This is done so as not to create competition for their product. With the same purpose removed the expansion slot and FM-radio. At the Nexus S only built an array of 16 GB, and partly a desire to operators in other markets.

Looks like a reviewer confirmed the missing 720p recording.
http://hi-tech.mail.ru/review/misc/Google_Nexus_S-rev.html (in Russian)
Even if the phone doesn't support it at the moment, I dont see why the devs here on XDA would'nt be able to add the feature considering it's essentially the same hardware as the Galaxy S..... and not to mention the devs here are awesome.

the fact that they did not put in bt3, memory car slot, 3g+ and made the NFC read only meaning you can't use it to make payments\in the subway etc.?
I didn't see a thread about anything like this, so i thought i'd make one.
Basically it's for videos that you can use to "show off" the qHD display in your Sensation.
I'll start off with a few suggestions, and i'd love to see what everyone else thinks.
To get the best quality for Vimeo videos i'd suggest you download each one and then put them on your phone (Each Video has a download link that is accessible when using the Desktop version of the site)

Vimeo has a built in download function on their website (on the right)
Anyone else have any videos that help show off the screen?
Streaming Vimeo over wifi works fine for me.
Everyone else probably knows this, but I was really unimpressed using auto brightness. Overriding to a brighter setting made a huge difference, from blah to wow.

Only in the sense that HD video fits the screen perfectly, rather than having black bars as on non-qHD screens, so you get the full resolution of the screen.
Just as a side note, I also have a Vibrant with the SAMOLED screen. I haven't been using it for a couple of weeks since I got the Sensation. Turned it on the other day and was shocked at how bad the colors looked. Oversaturated and the color balance looked way off. I always thought it was a great screen, but the Sensation looks much more natural to me now.
i hope you guys don't think the sensation is full hd
HD only specifies the resolution, and not the display type. qHD = quarter of full HD.
Full HD is 1920x1080 so a quarter of that is 960x540.
I hope you don't think..........

No, we don't all think that. The form factor (16:9) is the same as HD, thus HD video fills the screen perfectly, without bars. HD plays at the full resolution of the phone's screen, whereas on a SGS2, for example, you only get a portion of its lesser 800x480, or the video must be cropped to eliminate the bars.

Thanks! I made this video my wallpaper on my sensation!
Via Video Wallpaper app on the Market. And if you view this thread on your sensation, when you watch the video, it gives you an option to download it. God I love this phone. Thanks again.

The best video I've seen on the sensation are high profile h264 videos at 720p or 1080p. Noticeably better than those Vimeo and Youtube videos.
Please check out this thread i made where i actually make this video's into a live wallpaper.

I'd still suggest that everyone downloads the HD versions via a pc or the pc version of vimeo, to get the best quality.
pretty good videos

Impossible, need different hardware for taking 720p vids.

i just want to know after update to gingerbread can infuse record video in 1080 resolution...
Nope.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
this is a myth that has been perpetuated by a rather unclear ad from samsung before the infuse was released. it simply said "1080p video" it did not say video recording but it should have specified it as playback. it also said "gingerbread" and "hdmi" when it should have said "gingerbread or hdmi" since att didn't get gingerbread and wont for probably atleast another month or 2, and because rogers didn't and wont get hdmi.
I read somewhere that if you replace some camera files of the gs2 to the infuse it will have 1080p (has to be gingerbread). Its just sad how Sammy restricts their devices to make their newer ones look better.
i also read somewhere infuse camera module is identical to s2,so technically it's possible.just need software support.

and hardware that can encode it that fast..
1080p isn't much for a sensor. it only amounts to 2mp so the sensor has never been the limiting factor in smartphone video. video encoding is hardware intensive and though i believe the infuse processor can do it i think it would mean background processes might have to be killed to do it.
Interesting. Out of curiosity, is there anyone here who has been able to record in 1080p even in a "testbed" situation?
Hi guys.
My question is simple. Unlike the Galaxy S, the Nexus S doesn't support (720p) HD video recording. Both devices are essentially the same (Hummingbird chipset, same GPU etc.), so is it possible to enable this feature with a software hack like on the Nexus One? Are there any hardware limitations, if yes, whats the difference with the Galaxy S? If HD is not possible, is somthing like ~960x540 possible?
Sent from my iced and sandwiched Nexus S.
Nexus one hack just upscaled videos from 720x480 to 1280x720
I'm not sure but I think I saw somewhere that the ns is missing a piece of hardware compared tothe galaxy s. Although other people were disputing that so hopefully its not true and there is a hack to get HD recording on the ns.
Nexus S camera isn't the same galaxy s its missing the HD encoder chip
720p will never happen
well we can always try hex editing the camera module. It's not difficult...
its been in discussion ever since the nexus s came out over a year ago
if it was that simple it would have happened by now its hardware limitation not software

What about just more than the 480p? Like, 540p... And how about trying with raw files or software encoding? May use lots of space and slow the phone down, but why not...

Why would you even want to use a phone for video recording, the quality is **** regardless of the resolution.

agreed, but if you beat a dead horse 5x, it'll come back to life
The phone's missing the hardware capability, plain and simple. No amount of hackery will get you a LEGITIMATE HD recording res.
Well, I only partially agree. It's always nice to have a small and more or less decent "camera" wherever you are.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
actually the nexus s has the HD recording capability built into it. It was originally thought that it didnt support it because of the missing chip but the camera module is a SoC. It is only not supported due to a codec problem, however, ICS was supposed to fix it by adding the h264 encoder codec into the system.
Yeah, but as much as I know, the SoC probably isn't porwerful enough. I think the SGS has a separate chip. (I searched quickly a few moments ago, but maybee what I'm saying is false..)

Can you point me to something that shows this is true? I'm not calling you a liar or anything, but I'm not aware of any resolution to the original issue of it NOT having an encoder chip being the reason.
