[Q] Google Dev: Does Nexus S do 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

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.

[Q] The Milestone 2 can capture 720p video, how can I on my D2G?

After much searching on this forum and many others, I am still unable to discern if there is a method available to achieve video capture at 720p with my Droid 2 Global.
If I have understood correctly the pages-upon-pages of discussion and product specifications that I've read through in search for an answer, a mobile phone's ability to record HD video depends on the specification of its processor.
The facts seem to be that the D2G is technically capable of recording 720p video, whereas the vastly more popular Droid 2 is not, by nature of their differing processors.
The D2G's "TI OMAP3630-1200" processor, as stated by Motorola's Developer web page, is identical to those of the Droid X and Milestone 2 (the Euro-market version of the Droid 2) in all but its clock speed, "TI OMAP3630-1000." Both the Droid X and Milestone 2 are capable of capturing 720p video.
I am merely an enthusiastic user of my phone, and have never even dabbled with development. Yet it seems to me, given the many other 'miracles' I've witnessed accomplished on these phones, that there certainly must be a member of this assuredly knowledgeable forum that can offer me either an explanation as to how I can capture 720p video with my D2G, or at least why it will never be possible as it is with a Milestone 2.
Thanks very much; I'm waiting with bated breath for a reply.
-Benjamin

It can also be limited by the camera sensor, which I believe is the case with the d2g
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App

Thanks very much for your prompt input. I do appreciate greatly any suggestion that might ultimately give me the answer I desire.
However, I must admit, without any data sheet to prove that the image sensors used in the Droid 2 Global and Milestone 2 are in fact different (and believe me, I've searched... and searched for such specific device information), I find this suggestion to be less than satisfying an answer as to why I cannot capture 720p video with my D2G.
In fact, I'm lead to believe by Motorola's Developer Website that the image sensors used in each the Milestone 2 and Droid 2 Global are identical (as is most all of the componentry used in the phones), by nature of there being no differences in the six lines of specifications listed under the "Camera" category on each of the phone's spec sheets. It's unfortunate Motorola has not seen fit to post the precise specifications of the sensors themselves.
And so I implore this knowledgeable community to yet point me in the correct direction of a satisfying answer--whether proving the image sensor in my D2G is different than that of a Milestone 2 and isn't technically capable of capturing 720p video, or providing me with a more positive solution.
many thanks,
Benjamin

I am curious a well. Developers pay little attention to such a great phone

I believe it has a lot to do with the hype. Droid X, Original Droid and Droid 2 get a lot more attention from Motorola and Developers. Noticed the number of ROMs for the D2G, not D2 ports. Updates roll pretty slow for the D2G as well.
Even if the D2G is capable of recording 720P videos, Motorola has to remember that the D2G exists and Verizon must approve of such updates and the company pushing out the update must not screw up.
OR XDA devs with an ugly duckling(D2G in this case), can make the very few owners of a D2G happy by finding a way to help us record 720P. Somewhat pointless at this point when everyone is targeting 1080P.
Don't you just hate how Android fragmentation makes 2-months old devices look like dinosaurs?

Rusty is correct, But there is much more than just the camera sensor involved. The Video SubSystem also has a lot to do with the ability of a camera to create trup 720P video.
It does however start with the camera sensor. the resolution of the CMOS determines the Native capabilities.
The sensor must be able to resolve enough pixels to make a true 720P (1280X720).
Anything less would not be a true 720P capture. That doesn't mean a phone could not then upconvert it to a 720P format which is what I expect the Milestone and Dx do via it's video subsystem if the cameras CMOS' are actually the same.
It's not true 720P as it really does not have the true resolution of a native 720P capture it is merely scaled to 720P by adding pixels (based on the pixels that surround it) and creating a 720P output from (ie) a WVGA capture.
Its kind of the same thing as DVD player with 1080P Upconvert does.
The DVD is really a 720 X 480 source that is scaled to 1080P but you get no extra detail from the original in that scalling.

Thanks to all who have replied thus far. Your responses have painted a clearer picture for me of what is necessary to capture 720p video in general, and why it's not currently possible to do so with the Droid 2 Global.
Asphynx:

This makes sense, and I'm glad you brought this issue to light. I'd be extremely interested to know if the Milestone 2 does in fact capture video in this manner, rather than native 720p! If that is in fact the case, I'd be happy to just keep capturing in 720x480 with my D2G, and then upscale in post. (I'd imagine the superior power of a desktop's cpu, coupled with the correct video-editing software, could do a damn-sight better job of upscaling the video than a phone anyway.)

I realize all too well that the D2G is an oft looked-over phone on the developing scene. And it's an outright shame. It's such a powerful, flexible phone; and when running the Fission 2.4.3 ROM, I find it hard to believe there's a better phone available on the market currently--to serve my needs at least.
I implore the talented developers of this forum to unlock the potential of the Droid 2 Global's hardware (if it does indeed exist) to allow video capture at 720p, using the Milestone 2 as a reference. You'd make a very happy man out of me indeed, and as it would seem, many others.
Thanks to all again for their time attending to my questions.

It would be great if someone could make D2G work on CDMA and GSM network simultaneously as MOTOROLA XT800+ can (only for Chinese market).
I am looking for its radio to try it on my D2G
any ideas from your side guys?

It can't be as simple as that. There is a lot more involved than just editing the build prop.

Thank you very much helizus for your contribution towards solving this issue. However, I can confirm that although editing the "build.prop" as described will alter the Camera app to include menu settings that allow the selection of a option to film in "High Definition (720p)," the application will in fact crash once the Record button is pressed with the aforementioned HD setting selected. Neurotica was right to be doubtful.
Surely altering software in attempts to make use of hardware that doesn't exist is not the answer to this issue--
It may not make sense to tell a Droid 2 Global that it has the 8-megapixel camera of a Droid X in an attempt to trick it into filming in 720p, but let's be clear in understanding, that is not to say the D2G's 5-megapixel camera isn't sufficient to do the job. After all, the Milestone 2 makes do with its 5-megapixel camera.
THERE MUST BE A WAY TO FILM @720p WITH MY D2G!
...my enthusiasm to find an answer is getting the better of me. Apologies.
This answer becomes all the more frustratingly absent now that I actually have a menu on my phone depicting its elusive ability to capture video in HD.

actually it is pretty simple just install Liberty 2.0.1 and then the romer you can find it at droidforums.net look it up around when you have those 2 things installed you dont have to touch the build.prop because you should be able to record 720p

aa

I think you are all missing the point regarding 720.
You can easily create a 720P file in any device but unless you are capturing it in that native resolution all you are actually doing is taking a low res capture and scaling it into a higher res format with none of the actual resolution of the 720P standard.
It's like up-converting an SD 16X9 video into 1080P. Sure the file shows as a 1080P file but the resolution is still Standard Def with some sides cut off and the pixels that was once one now shown as 4!
You are mixing up file format with actual resolution.
If you take a picture that has only 345,600 Pixels of resolution you can convert it to a file that displays with 921,600 Pixels of resolution but those extra pixels do not actually make the picture better! Just uses 2.6 pixels per original piece of data!
It's basically data and you can't create data that doesn't really exist.
32 is the same number in 32 Bit as it is in 64 bit. Converting it to 64 bit doesn't make it any more precise than it was as a 32 Bit integer.
It similar with what this boot.prop trick is doing.
Yes it saves a file that says it is 720P. But it;s nothing more than the standard resolution you had before in a 720 display format. It ddn't add resolution it merely doubled the same bad resolution you started with.
Look at it next to a TRUE 720P Native capture and you will see the difference.

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.

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.

[Q] Why change DPI?

I know this has been asked, but the answer I've yet found aren't very clear: What are the pros and cons of changing dpi? Why are people going against such trouble for it?
To me DPI is a synonym of resolution: getting a better resolution is impossible on a fixed screen, and going for a lower one just seems usefull on a PC when you need better framerate

We regret to inform you that motion interpolation is not in our priory list at the moment as it heavily relies on the SW technologies and may not be efficient on mobile devices. However, we will continue to monitor the user feedback and review our decision again if there are more requests on this.
Thank You.

It will be cool with the new ai chips and software in this regard.

Thanks for the information. We would like to clarify that this's something built into the device. As mentioned in the article, the system will automatically interpolate the frames at rendering time and will work with all apps, including MX. However, third-party apps have no controls over this.
Using SW based motion interpolation may fry your CPU when complex algorithms are used to interpolate the frames. Also, it can lead to stuttering instead of an improved video experience. So, there is very little we can improve this at the moment. However, we will continue to explore the possibilities and support it if it found viable in the future.

Hope someone implement it they can bite a good chunk from a market no one have this feature. I will pay for it on both platforms Android and iOS.

I think hardware acceleration support would be required for this feature as even powerful desktop cpus run hot as **** when using software interpolation & still give dropped frames in most cases.
Gpu assisted solutions like madvr help a lot but still make the gpu's run damn hot!
Mediatek users are lucky to have this because they have 60/120fps interpolation completely hardware accelerated

Unless other companies offer such acceleration or development then I'd agree with Mx player's official reply - that it's near impossible to get this feature while keeping it consistent in performance for all.
(Or maybe some genius does come up with a novel motion estimation / motion compensation algorithm optimised for powerful soc's of today! :fingers-crossed:)

Madvr dont use any interpolation, its only doing frame merging. And nice tonemaping for HDR but honestly any pixel shader can do it with much less power consumption, try potplayer with hdr shader it will give almost the same result.
Dmitrirender only can use right now gpu accelerated frame interpolation, and damn, he can play movies so smooth without any lag at all and my cpu and gpu loading at only 25-30% with 4K HDR content. Have no idea how he achieved it 4 years ago while Nvidia represent same technology only half a year ago and only with RTX. Sadly he wont or cant port it to mobile gpu. So yeah we need a genius again.

Meditek did it.
Mediatek did it with clearmotion on redmi note 2.
Long time ago.
It was a great experience.
No overheating or framedrop.
Hope snapdragon adopt something like that to all future SOC.

SVP Team made it recently if someone interested in, its going closed test right now for Android devices. Working great with 865+ snapdragon it can do [email protected] but for 4K interpolation there are no cpu horsepower yet.

I too own a 7t pro. 90hz display. Want interpolation badly. Meanwhile, try mov. Currently only mpv supports it.

Its time to rejoice bro.
Ask about beta test on SVP developer forum, working great for 1080p as I can tell you. Or have a patience it will come soon.
