I noticed that if I set my wallpaper via the gallery app it gives me a slight lower quality, but if I set it using another app (like personal wallpaper demo on the market) I can have the same image but in higher quality.
I guess I'm asking if there's any alternatives to the stock gallery app for setting my wallpapers. I know the stock app automatically takes the quality down a bit even in viewing so I know this has to be the culprit.

You could try out LGCamera from the playstore..
I've not messed with it too much but seems to have some of the settings you may be looking for..
If you use it - you may need a fair bit of space on the storage as I saw one user has recorded a 58 second clip which came out at 518Mb..
Anyone here used HDMI to output to a 1080p screen via HDMI? What is the resolution of the image seen on the TV? Just 480p or actually genuine 1080p.
1) eg a photo seen on the phone screen will only ever be 480p, so mirroring thet same photo displayed on the TV will see much more detail? or just the same 480p resolution only on a bigger TV?
2) Even if you did have USB charging during use, would the drain-rate of playing video via HDMI out strip the charge-rate?
Thanks in advance for your feedback
Here's my side of the story

I start by saying that I use a 1.4 HDMI cable made for Sony Ericsson phones that I found at 10 euros. My settings for HDMi output are 1080p at 50Hz - I must say that leaving it in automatic is bad cause it does like 480p as output resolution.
For photos the output fine, the 1080p and looks great, even the 3D photos. But when I'm using the camera while the phone is connected to TV the output is not 1080p but, IMO, a poor 480p. Same story with videos - while playing them give you the resolution on which they were recorded, on "live show" you got only the 480
The home screen is seen on TV at its native resolution not HDMI. The games are on the same boat, at screen resolution and not HD. Not even with the games that declares themselves HD is not working.
On the second issue: yes - the HDMI playback while charging DOES strip off the charge rate, finding yourself that after a 20 minutes of video playback while charging you have no juice left in your battery.
In my opinion the HDMI out is useful only in few situations: dual boot on the phone, letting you to use it as a computer (but this implies the USB Host active on our P920 - which still is missing), playback of files on the phone which would be impossible to play on TV - here you might get variations based on the TV set that you might own and the final use I foundshould be to use it as a game console but this also implies to have a bluetooth activated controller because playing with the phone while connected to the TV is just... a big NOOOO - only in some games that implies only the use of accelerator sensor, like racing games.
I hope that this is useful to you. I voted the second option - I use it but I'm not addicted.
Excellent response! Can you tell me how
To set 1080 output output on
the o3d because I have HDMI link but cant find the android setting page. My current setup must be in auto because photo gallery looks like worse than 480p on my TV right now.
Thanks

for setting HDMI go to settings => HDMI => Resolution and select from the options available (1080P at 60Hz or 1080P at 50Hz)

One idea...maybe stupid

Have you tried to set higher resolution within Ubuntu? Like setting screen resolution. I might think it would work because will force the phone to give the application's resolution (still running Ubuntu is like running an application, because Ubuntu is not set in dual boot with Android on the phone but is working through a Virtual Machine, if I'm not wrong)
Can you tell me how you've managed to run Ubuntu on O3D? Thanks
i got another problem that is way worse. i got sound failing during videos are playing. in the movie player or in youtube, all the same, it keeps failing. the sound stops and then starts again but the image has no problem.
Nope... non. On my stock phone. Simply
No sign of HDMI settings

I'd like to either record sketches or record the screen, but most apps on the playstore with screen capture capabilities do not actively record the pens drawing. It freezes if the pen touches down and after I lift up it shows what has been drawn wit the time elapsing.
I saw a few other alternatives techniques using a PC but I'd much prefer either screen capture app or an app with recording capabilities, sort of like what is found when play draw something and the other player watches the playback.

check out SCR screen recorder [free].
It makes an mp4 video of your screen display. I just used it to record a little drawing and it didn't halt.

Thanks. I'll check this out.
Edit: Wow! This app is amazing! It's exactly what I was looking for. I'm going to play around with the settings because I don't want to over work my processor.

Sorry for the bump of an old thread, but lecture notes with Lecture Videos ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.lecturevideos) should do the trick as well, possibly in higher quality.
