Hey everyone, just new to XDA, got my TP2 from telus 2 days ago. It has been awesome so far. Anyhow.....
Ive got a bunch of low res java games that ive been playing on the newest release of Jbed ( 20090217.5.1 ). The problem is that on the amazing TP2 screen, the games are TINY (about 1/10 of the screen).
Im wondering if there is a way to play these games in a larger mode. Im wondering if any of these work-arounds exist:
- a version/plugin of Jbed that allows fullscreen /zooming
- a hack that allows the TP2 zoom feature to work in programs like Jbed
- an alternate KMV that has a zoom feature
- program to change the TP2 screen resolution (NOT like wvga fix that turns part of ur screen black, more of a full screen resolution changer)
I dont care what it does as long as it can allow me to play all of these games in a size where i can actually freaking SEE somthing. Theres nothing more annoying then reading text thats a PIXEL thick.(Ive got eye strain now lol )
Ive attached a pic showing how the game window compares to the overall screen size
Thanks to everyone that took the time to read this post.
Zooming would be way to intensive and useless.
The best solution will be for it to just play in fullscreen, but have the extra parts blank. Scaling the image would just be ugly, all distorted. So, it'll be like a widescreen movie on a fullscreen TV.
But idk what would do this.

Just got my new xda2s, and wanted to know if there was a patch or something to make the camara full screen like my old xda2 in capture and video mode, or is that just the way it is now.

Is there no way to make the camera output work full screen and unlike the xda II the zoom doesnt seem to work.. or is there something been done wrong?
bR
To zoom you must reduce the resolution of the picture in manage picture settings (bit of a scam really)
i too would like to know about the full screen camera function like the old xda's cause my mate has one and i prefer that better to the small screen version on the M2000
Yeah, bizarre that, there must be a registry hack to allow the zoom to be used in standard capture mode? Mine works fine in video, but not in photo mode!
I must admit that when I bought by Blue Angel, I didn't really consider the camera other than to note thats its only 640x480 - there are just TOO many other toys to play with. But after having used it a couple of times, it would have been nicer to have a higher resolution, zoom etc, but what the heck, this is a PDA/phone, not a Nikon
All I do to get a "zoom" is crop & resize the images in paintshop pro before printing them.
hi
plz ppl with omnia answer these questions..as many ppl wantto get this phone it would help all of us knowing some interesting questions about it
1)does real vga work on it
2)is there an issue using programs especially games on it
3)have you tried opera 9.5 if so how does it render
4)is the 5mp camera as goodas nokia n95 camera?
5)can you post some screen shots so we can get a better idea of the actual resolution
6)hows the gps functionality??
plz answer as many questions as you can!
thanks
1) the screen is WQVGA so that means Wide Quarter VGA, so no... it's not VGA
2)because of the wierd screen resolution (400x240), games tend to only work in landscape mode... if you try to turn them rightside up, the buttons won't work on the touchscreen (they're messed up)
3)haven't tried opera...
4)in my opinion it isn't as good.. although it has more options with wich to play, it's kind of laggy (you press the button, you wait for the autofocus and then it takes the pic) - but maybe if you fool around a bit with the settings you'll get better results
5)i'll post pictures made with it and some pictures of it tomorrow perhaps
6)the gps is actually assisted-gps enabled and it works pretty good... i even got gps signal inside (and not near a window) - iGo 8 works fine, so does navigon and garmin, haven't tried tomtom route66 or others...
Hey everyone with the AT&T Tilt and maybe to all of the other Touch Pro 2 owners - are your images "blurry" in Opera Mobile? Text is crystal clear, but images are blurry like they're compressed. I notice this mostly with logos (like facebook, google), but full size images are perfect. Also, the small image previews in m.facebook.com are very pixelated, but once you click on them to see the full picture, its clear and great quality.
I've turned off the AT&T proxy, and also notice this over wifi. Is it because the mobile sites are used to less-resolution displays? Any suggestions?
I've also noticed that for some reason, Opera Mobile displays the very low quality or thumbnail version of pictures in Picasaweb, and since Opera stretches the image to fit the screen, it looks terrible. I tried this on my Treo Pro (PIE) and my Blackberry Bold, and the image is far clearer, and it actualy downloads the higher res version of the photos (320x480) whereas the TP2 downloads something more like 100x160 or something like that. Any help?
Also, this happens when using wifi as well.
Maybe it's because the turbo is on.
Turbo is on

go to setting and turn turbo off. I use opera mini on my desk top as well on my tp2. When turbo is on it compress image size for faster surfing speed. That should fix your problem if it dont that strang.
Yes agree, with turbo off image quality improves a little
Don´t forget t vote guys!
Wasn't Turbo, it's due to the "Adaptive Zoom" in opera:config settings. I think it was set at 200% because the resolution is just so much higher than other mobile devices, and most websites are formatted for 320x480.
Hi! I've got some serious pixelisation/artifact problem when i stream to netflix or youtube.
The problem seems to be related at the black color. Most of the time when there is a dark scene or some black element in a scene i will see some kind of pixel/artifact. I took a screenshot of a scene in a godzilla trailer but ... For some reason it look good while on my tablet its not.
On the picture attached on the left building most of the left side in the black area is pixelated on my tablet (i dont know why its not on the screenshot)
I tried to turn off the adaptive display while whatching videos but... it doesnt help. I also tried different streaming option (auto, low, med, high resolution) with netflix but it didnt helped.
I would like to know if its normal or i've got a faulty tablet (its the 2nd tab s i've got with the same issue).
Thank you
It`s hard to see from that photo, have a search for "black crush" problem that affected Samsung displays in the past, see if your problem is the same, but this problem affects all video not just streaming, maybe it`s a compression problem from poor quality steaming.
I save your photo and loaded it into paint.net app and used the auto levels setting, as from your photo i could only see the center bright section.
John.
I would say it's more to do with the fact that the display has such a high resolution it is capable of showing up artifacts within the video that maybe another display is not capable of displaying.
I know the tab had a high res but this issue doesnt seem really normal to me.
i just did an exchange for another Tab s and it does the same thing on netflix. Is this possible because the resolution of the tab is 1.5x higher than 1080p i've got this issue?
I convert all my video`s to 640x360 on my 10.5" and they look great, so it`s more likely a streaming compression problem and not resolution.
John.
I tried changing aspect ratios but it doesnt help/make the picture bigger
I saw a thread that someone recommended to use samsung internet video player but I am unable to play netflix
Any suggestions how to get the best out of content for the fold 4? I know you can pinch and zoom but it cuts out so much that might as well not watch as you miss so many details
Maybe somehow hack the custom res?
Thanks

unfortunatly no. only way is zooming in which will eat half of the video. the aspect ration is a hige draw back for consuming media on fold series

I hoped someone figured out a way to make it better besides cutting half the video to fill lol
And now you know how we felt in the early 2k's when 16:9 became a thing and we still had our 4:3 CRT's. Letterbox is annoying.

yes, any workaround?
Not a lot you can do, making something that's 16:9 sit nicely on a 4:3 display has never been pretty, but if you enable flex panel mode on Netflix, and only use the top half of the display it fills that.
Other than that just ignore the black unused areas, still getting a decent size playback area after all, and oled, so black uses no energy...
Run Netflix in pop-up mode, make it fill the width of your screen and adjust the height to fit the image, then use the rest of your screen for another app
You really can't without making things worse IMHO.
It's like owning a 4:3 TV and using a pan/scan simulator so the screen is filled.
You just cut off too much!
You get used to the bars, I still prefer this format for everything else!

To me, this could be simple to solve if the zoom/pinch have 2 or more levels because the single zoom level avalizable is just too much and results in a heavily cropped imagem, but, with intermediate zoom levels, one can control how much screen space is used to content and who much image is cropped out...
I've been watching all of my locally stored media files on an app called SVplayer. It has an option called "black bars outer lighting". This will fill in the black bars of your display, if the video does not match the aspect ratio of your device . This effect is most commonly used on social media and vertically shot videos that are shown on news broadcasts. I then zoom into the video about 25 to 30%. which makes the top and bottom lighting bars less apparent. In my opinion, this is the best compromise and is honestly the only reason why I ended up buying a Galaxy Fold 4. I couldn't enjoy videos with such prominent black bars on everything I watch.
