resolution

So what does everyone think of the resolution, specially those who are coming from higher resolution devices? It is up to par?
Thinking I might go pick mine up later today.

I did miss threw resolution of Photon for the first.5 min lol
But the color reproduction and screen size make up for it.

Yup. Sure do. But as already stated once I got my launcher and homescreens set up I don't even effin' care anymore. It could use a slight DPI tweak, but, nothing the native resolution can't handle.

Speaking of launchers, would a backup of LauncherPro on my sd card allow me to recreate my home screens onto this device?

Lol. You've gotta be trollin'. One of the major downsides to qHD is that apps that weren't made properly wouldn't fill the screen, and that's annoying as hell.
No, everything looks fine...fantastic even. Very fantastic. Stunning.
Sux...I barely got into setting mine up before I decided to head for a 100% charge. I got it at 45%, but, I plan on leaving the house for a while later and don't wanna risk it. (turned off so it charges faster)
I'm expecting it to be good battery life, better battery life, but, nothing staggeringly better.

Trolling? Hardly.... I just picked up mine own. I remember you from the 3d forums. How's it going. I assume your happier with this device? I sure am so far...
Hopefully we can leave this trolling obsession back in the evo 3d forums....
I only got the charge to 85 before I had to take it with me to lab. Battery is holding real well so far.

Much much more so. I am thrilled. I might actually keep this phone for a long while. I just have this feeling of complete satisfaction and no feeling of concern or worry that the E4G gave me but no amount of E3D's could.

True that
I dont know why ppl lying about photon display I saw it at the sprint store and it sucks than 3d let alone compete with epic touch.

In my opinion, this display looks much better than the pentile qHD I had on the Photon.
The way pentile cheated at resolution meant that its supposedly high-resolution was actually kinda a sham. When zoomed all the way out on webpages with fine text, it was ugly, and when scrolling through text like on the apps list, the text shrunk while it was being moved.
Here, the full resolution is actually usable, meaning that it actually looks higher-res than the Photon did to me.

The whites seem a little less white next to my Epic but I have a feeling they may be muted a touch to help with battery or something along those lines. I actually prefer it like this. My Epic is blinding at night even with brightness dropped all of the way down.

anyone play with the screen mode setings for like dynamic and such?

Actually, I'm having one issue with resolution..
I have some images of landscape I took while on vacation last year with my EVO 4G, used them for wall paper.
Put them on here (tried them on my daughters original Epic as well) and they images are fuzzy..
Any idea why?

How long did It take you to get used to...

Everything being so big on the screen cause of the resolution..?
I'm an OG Epic 4g user so naturally I was going to get the ET4G, I went into the sprint store to try it out and wow... everything looks huge on it. Icons, pulldown icons, etc. Now to be fair it probably is because I'm used to my 5x5 Grid settings on Go Launcher on my 4in screen, but I don't know it I'd be able to coop with things being that large on the phone.
What's your experiences and how are you guys managing with it like that?
Not knocking the phone in any means, just caught me off guard when I played with the demo and everything looked like I accidently held Control on my computer keyboard and scrolled up on the desktop haha.

Ehhh I've never been a fan of big screens and low resolutions.
My laptop is 17in and I run it at Max 1920x1200 resolution, everyone that uses it says they don't know how I can handle text being that small lol.
The Prime is suppose to be a higher Res though right? Wonder if it'll look the same though since the screen is also bigger...

Took me about 2 minutes to get used to it coming from a 3D. The only thing that really looked different to me was the notification bar...everything else kinda looks exactly the same.

The only thing I don't like about the nPrime and new Samsung "HD" models is the aspect ratio....16:9 SUCKS. Unless you've had a qHD device you don't know....your screen is so damn narrow (or short, depending on orientation) and it's annoying. Even though the resolution you gain from it more than makes up for it, the form-factor itself is extremely irritation (to some)...The only thing I miss from my EVO3D is the qHD resolution, but, the one thing I miss the least is the 16:9 aspect ratio....
...unfortunately it seems as though 16:9 is the new standard, so, this will likely be our final phone that isn't 16:9...
infuriating.

The ET is only usable to me with the density/dpi (there are apps in the market) changed down to 200 or lower. This breaks the layout of something TW things, but is worth it, especially for someone like me who runs as close to AOSP as possible and uses aftermarket apps for everything anyway.
At the regular resolution, this phone would be entirely unusable in my opinion.
For what it's worth, the lack of qHD isn't too bad. The other positives of the screen (super contrast, vibrance) subconsciously make up for the difference.

About 20 seconds. My big worry was the on-screen keyboard, but with a screen this size, I'm faster on it than I was my old epic keyboard....and it doesn't skip keys. Also, the camera is a major improvement over the Epics in every way except audio. I'm looking into getting an external microphone.

Ah I never knew of those apps! so from what I understand, they do make everything smaller like I'm saying?
You may have just swayed me back to the ET4G haha.
Something else I realized too though that only Epic users would feel, is that it feels well... Like the same ole tthing.. (Of course bigger and upgraded) but I'm not really sure I felt the "New" factor when I was using the ET.. feel like the Prime may make me feel the sensation of a new experience..
I completely understand you E3D users and you guys coming from other phones and the ET being a new experience for ya, but for me coming from a Epic its felt.. well the same lol
But I don't know if that's good or bad, I felt at home when I was using it.. But whats the point in buying a new house if they have the same floor-plan lay out so to say ..

Sounds like a lot of us was expecting that EVO 4g experience, expecting to be blown away. I agree I haven't had a major wow factor since then. I don't see a quad core phone doing much for me either.
I set my dpi to 200 by editing the build prop, on the evo3d it was 190. Personally to me it the stock dpi looks like its set for people who are vision impaired.
I use a dialer app to fix the uneven look of the stock dialer.

What are you guys using to change the dpi? and the dialer?

I hear ya. Coming from an E3D it definitely has a new "floor plan"...
...however coming from the E4G to the E3D that also definitely had a totally different feel to me. 16:9 screen, qHD, Sense 3.0 (I hate sense)...and it sucked. All I wanted was the newest hardware. I didn't actually want anything else. The upgraded "experience" involves changing a lot of things that aren't technical upgrades and are entirely matters of opinion--and that leaves a lot of areas to screw up. Opinion can be a ***** like that.
So, excepting "experience" there is only hardware upgrading. This is definitely that....and while it might feel like a faster smoother version of the same ol' thing, Samsung's idea of a new 'experience' might be far more offensive than you would suspect.

I just downloaded tw 4.5 and set the app drawer to display a higher number of apps and the homescreen to do the same (more rows) Launcher pro can do the same. Also you can adjust the LCD density.
As for the original question, it didn't take any time to adjust to the larger screen although when I try to use my wife's OG epic I do notice how much smaller it is and that takes a minute to get used to. Also, I can't believe how slow the OG epic feels now that I'm used to everything happening almost instantly...

I didn't use the epic 1, I didn't and wouldn't pay full price for this phone, I had a friend sign up for sprint and took her new contract discount. She got my MoPho I only had for about a month.

First of all qHD pentile displays are technologically and visually inferior to the samoled display in the E4GT. This is without a shred of doubt the best display in the world right now. There are rumors that sammy is taking qHD where it needs to be at a bare minimum with the prime at a full 720p resolution. Please don't try to compare fake high res pentile photon or 3d crap to a amoled masterpiece like what the e4gt has. We'll see what samsung is able to pull off with qHD soon since samsung is the worlds cutting edge innovator in displays. I think samsungs real deal high res qHD displays comming out won't have screen door effect.

Have you tried to go back to non-720p screen

I was using the galaxy tab 10.1 today. Wow, I immediately noticed how the screen is just not as sharp, even though when I first compared the nitro hd to skyrocket a week ago, the difference wasn't night and day. It's amazing how your eyes adjust to the sharpness of the screen. Hard to use non 720p again.

Oh god dude, I decided to use a friends Sensation 4G for a day because I missed the look and feel and Sense 3.0 and that..lasted about 5 minutes haha. Grabbed Launcher Pro Plus and Beautiful Widgets and happy with that.
The sharpness and vibrancy coming from the screen was just..so intoxicating compared to the Sensation..couldn't last with out it. I use the desktop version of Youtube to watch videos now, the app doesn't do the job anymore for me.

While standing in the AT&T store today to get a replacement phone I saw the Skyrocket and Nitro side by side displaying the "Explore this Phone " program and realized there may not be any going back. The display on the Nitro is just incredible!

i think my i9100 screen looks like poop.

I went to the Skyrocket after having this phone and yes, I absolutely miss the HD screen...but for other factors I am totally happy with my exchange. As much as I loved the screen I was having issues with some websites displaying horribly small font which I then had to size and that was more hassle than it was worth at times. I also came to the conclusion more pixels in a small screen isn't always better. Oh well...do I miss the screen? Yes. Did I "go back"? yes. I survived. Lol...I feel like I'm in recovery or something.

Yeah，so I sold my ipad2……

Tried it out at an AT&T store, and I must say, that is a damn good screen.
Although, I can't wait for the Galaxy S II HD LTE, that thing is higher res, and is SAMOLED..... OH MY LORD.

It's not higher res by any means. In fact, due to its slightly larger size, its pixel density is slightly lower. The specs are very similar to our P930 here, though.

if this is really the galaxy s III i'm going to keep my nexus

Here is a leak that seems to be true of the galaxy s III.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ei61wWOr4w
Only 1GB of ram and looks like a bigger version of the S2. Quad core is nice but not sure about the battery. What totally made me not want this only 8mp camera, I was going to get it if it was 12mp in heartbeat. but 5 vs 8 price for performance not really worth it.

There is another leak where in fact it says it has a 12mp camera
Too me id rather have development over a camera and quad core
Why on earth do I need a quad core phone?
Also if you want good pictures get a real digital camera

I rather just have a polish OS. I don't want to be carrying a camera and a phone, I rather have good camera in my phone. if I had the S2 camera or the iphone 4S, I wouldn't care as much about a 12mp camera. I know many people here believe the nexus camera is not that bad, but I think that's just being ignorant. I think its pretty lame for being newer then the S2 and the camera being worst. I can go on and on about it also not having a SD slot and pentile screen.

Nah, the phone is over hyped. Normally I always stick with my contract for two years. But the reason of me switching so fast is because the faster I sell the nexus phone, the more value I get. Not to mention if the Galaxy S III does come with a 12mp + LTE internet for AT&T i'm going to switch in a heartbeat.

I owned a GS2 before my GN. The difference is suppose to be with jagged edges and not colors and you cannot see any of that in the GN like you can on lower res devices that use pentile displays.
For color, we can already improve that with kernels and apps for the GN so still don't see your point...
Will a Super Amoled plus screen look better, I am sure to some degree it will but to complain about the screen we have now is ridiculous.

Then pentile screen is not that problem

1. 1gb of ram is more than enough for a phone, heck most phones with 512mb run fine
2. The stock color settings are what make the super amoled hd screen appear inferior to the super amoled plus, that can easily be fixed, the whites on my screen are some of the best I've seen.
3. Quality of a camera isn't dependant on its mega pixels, that only determines the size of the picture, the quality of the pictures is entirely dependant on its sensor and lense, the gnex has a decent sensor, but it's nowhere near the best. We still don't know about the gs3's sensor, so we can't judge how good it's camera is yet.

Screen Difference Discussion

Hello XDA!!!
My sister's boyfriend has the Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint Variation and I noticed that his screen was MUCH more vivid than my own screen. Colors were deepers, more saturated and just overall looked more brilliant.
I checked his settings and both of our screen brightnesses were all the way up.
We both opened our facebook applications and the top of the facebook app where there is a blue bar is much darker and saturated and deeper blue than mine.
Has anyone else seen another variation of the screen? I am concerned for my phone as it may be a hardware issue or it isn't calibrated properly or something.
Please discuss/ respond/ help me out.

I Just compared mine to my buddies ATT SGS 2 and the screens look pretty much the same to me..
When i look at the colors compared to my wifes sensation ours looks super nice..

Sprint variant has a color saturation option in their display settings menu. They can set their screen color mode to standard, dynamic, etc. Ours doesn't have that option.
If his was set to a more vivid setting, it would explain the color calibration difference.
Also, our phones use different graphics processing than the Sprint variant, so a comparison doesn't really say much. Galaxy SII is a branding name, the phones are vastly different though.

Is there a way to acquire this option via an app or something?

Nope. It has to do with the Exynos processor in the Sprint/International versions. It was what allowed supercurio to create color calibration tweaks. Our phone has an Adreno 220 gpu and our color profile coding is vastly different.
That difference was part of the reason why Supercurio couldn't complete a quick fix (kernel/app) for color tuning on our device, but could for the Exynos equipped phones.

You can use something like Screen Adjuster from the play store, but adding color layers will alter your screens black production (or lack thereof rather) and it will kill your battery.
Here's the app, I wouldn't recommend it though.

So this is related to the screen lines/blobs issue?

all of the sgs2 phones with the snapdragon processor have less intense colors than the exynos ones and the sprint one.

I find it irritating. I wish their was some sort of calibration we could do to saturate screen colors.

Your issue has nothing to with processors. It's the screen itself. Let me guess, yours is manufacturer in Korea right? There's a major thread floating here that discuss this issue alongside the spots, mura, and lines. The batches that are manufactured in China seems to have the improved screen you're looking for. I can bear witness to it myself.
I'm just sayin!
