Any way to get additional video resolutions? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Does anyone know of a setting somewhere that will allow for additional video resolutions when using the camera? Perhaps I am missing something but I see the full resolution, with huge file sizes, and a resolution for MMS, which looks absolutely horrible for anything other than a quick MMS obviously. Isn't there some sort of middle ground?

When you open the camera, hit settings. The video tab should be there. Select it, tap the video resolution and you should see your options.
That's all the options you're going to get at the moment from the default strings.

anyway possible to increase the softkey size?

i want to increase the softkey size in VGA mode so i can push the buttuns with my fingers easier is this possible ?
I feel the same about this. In many applications, the buttons are just too small in VGA mode. Would be nice if there is a way to bring it back to the size used in QVGA.
But, wait, why don't we simply toggle back to QVGA mode? The internet browser, which is VGA aware, could display exactly the same amount of data (choose small font in QVGA = choose large font in VGA). Same goes for excel and word as both of these applications are already VGA aware. In that way, the taskbar and menu buttons could remain big, which is my preferred size for them. Most of the other applications (phone, games, settings, activesync, calculator, camera, music players, pocket mechanics, etc simply looks way way better in QVGA, as the buttons and fonts look more proportionate and undistorted.
The only place not VGA aware, and would be nice if it is, is the today desktop and when you start program, or go to the setting screen. Not enough icons could appear on the screen without scrolling. Another one if the file explorer. Then there is the indexes of documents before getting into excel and word (would be nice if at that point we could already have zoom features). These are the places that I like true VGA to kick in.
Is there a way to toggle between VGA and nonVGA without a reset? If we can toggle that like the screen orientation, it would be real nice.
well a lot of prorgrams arent VGA aware... like text messaging outlook email etc. or atleast it doesnt seem to be... and as far as the internet explorer goes you may downsize the font but resolution still plays an important part
anyways i looked around in the registry and i couldnt find any settings anyone have any insight?

Sorry mate not as far as I know either.
VJToggleToday II can alter the size of the Today screen softkeys.
It could probably be hacked up to change any windows' softkeys, but I haven't thought about that yet, it's an inelegant solution.

hmm how would you go about this ?

Contact Image Size

Does anybody know the optimal Aspect and image size for contact pictures?
something that will look decent and maximize the picture on incomin call pop ups along with the HTC Favorite people tab with the 10 icons for contacts?
Same goes for me. I would like to have high res/ size. When using the slide2unlock with caller id, the photos looked like crap.

The default size is 120x160, if you're trying to use S2I2 maximized i'd probably go with 240x320
my problem is that the faces are getting cutt off when using the HTC home with the contact buttons, its quite annoying
why not this? can we make it so when someone calls, their pic comes up on the whole screeen instead of that stupid incoming call balloon. Its obvious an incoming call is coming in already by that little sound called a ringtone. would be cool to see a big pic of whos calling instead of a chopped up small stamp sized blurr of a pic IMHO
Has anyone figured this out yet?
There is 3rd party software sold for just this. I can't think of the name at this point. It's been a while since I was trying to do the same thing.
The thing is... in the case of WM, to change the size of the avatar, the OS would have to change. They don't make it a variable option. That was back in the WM5 days. I haven't heard that it's any different with WM6.5. We'll see what WM7 has to offer when it's deemed ready!

Opera - Can't see whole webpages...

I noticed that no matter how far you try to zoom out, you can not see the entire webpage of certain sites.
Is there a reason behind this? And if so, is there a fix? Not a lot of ppl are talking about this issue.
I was really bothered by that, till last night when I managed to fix it while snooping around the registry
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100 (or lower value... play with it)
Hope it helps
humm weird. i still wont. webpages remain zoomed in on first entry. such as notebookreview.com. even after changing it to 100, the webpage does not fully show 100% but rather zoomed in.
** UPDATE:
changing the default zoom did not work, but right under that key was VIRTUAL screen (default 800). I changed it to 1000 and wahlah! it worked !
I now see webpages in full scale and no longer zoomed in.
This is great and should definitely appear in BsB tweak, I like it!
Hmmmmm weird, worked for me ... anyway, glad you got it sorted out. It shouldcome like that as standard really

You can find this setting in about:config -> Adaptive Zoom -> Virtual Screen Width
And if you guys are interested, here are a couple other reg settings I liked:
Increase Scrolling FPS
I changed the following key to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
These two above make a world of difference in smoothness of both scrolling and zooming on my device. Do not enter a value higher than 50 or it will not take effect (at least it did not on my HD2)
Enjoy
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
In my Kaiser, i could manage this by pressing and holding the bars to move the screen. In Leo this was impossible, so some sites were just useless to me.

Exactly. With "Virtual Screen Width" set to 1000 or even more, you will be able to always see the entire website.
does anyone kno9w why in certain versions of opera, when you open Google search engine, you cannot see the 'Show Options' button? (at the top -- when you click on this it allows you to hit "latest" so you get real time tweets and so on).

What happened to the screen text size icon?

I've got a problem that's driving me nutto. So I like to have the smallest font so that I can maximize my real-estate; I don't want to have to scroll up and down to read an email especially when I have this gorgeous screen.
I know that I can change the font size via the Manila menu, however when I open outlook, the message and the email font-size is HUGE and disproportionate to the system fonts WTH?!
So in the past I know that I've been able to go to START>SETTINGS>SYSTEM>SCREEN (or something like that), and I've been able to change the font to the smallest size. This does not seem to be the case with the T-Mo HD2 default ROM.
I've combed the net hoping that there's some regkey setting to change this but I keep striking out.
Anyone know whether the screen resolution option is hidden and if so, how do I expose it?
Um, not sure if you know this (you probably do, but I just want to make sure), you can just pinch to zoom out (and in) and it will make the font quite small.
Uhm... yes, I know about pinch to zoom. This is separate from that. I'm talking about the native resolution when I'm viewing messages in my inbox which has nothing to do with pinch zoom.
Does that make sense? If not, lemme know and I can clarify
Just to clarify, when I open an email and pinch to zoom (in this case zoom in), I get the correct resolution that I want, only problem is when I let go, it bounces back to what it previously was.
HKLM\controlpanel\pen\hide change to 0, to get back screen icon in Sytem control panel
or you can goto manila settings\personalize\font to change font size.

I'm slightly confused, so when you go into an email in your inbox and zoom out, it won't stay zoomed out? (which would be very odd)
Also, when you're in an email and hit menu>view>text size is it set to smallest?

HTC Default Registry Settings

Hello everyone. I've got the HTC Pure (I think it's the same as the Touch Diamond 2). I was reading through some other posts about registry tweaks to improve the performance of the camera, unlock picture modes, increase photo quality, etc. All of the tweaks seemed relatively harmless to the phone, and the only risk was to the camera if something didn't work.
Well something did not work, but I'm not sure what it was. Some of the tweaks worked fine (like unlocking Sport and Burst photo modes). However, now whenever I take a regular picture with the camera the phone freezes when it displays the picture I just took. The only thing I can do at that point is press the "end/hang up" button to return to the main Today screen in TF3D. But then when I return to the camera app it won't load, and the picture I just took was not saved either. If I run the cleanRAM app, the results show between 1-2megs freed up, then the camera app responds again, but still the same end result.
I've reviewed all the settings in HKLM>Software>HTC>Camera and everything there and in those subfolders appears normal. But I don't remember what the settings were originally. I'm hoping if I return the camera registry settings to their default values this problem will be fixed.
Does anyone have a list of the default HTC camera registry settings? Also, what are the other registry keys that affect the camera besides the folder where I've been looking?
If I were you, I'd re-post this thread into the TD2/Pure forum. Some folks there with a Stock ROM may be able to help you out.
Thanks. I will try to figure out how to do that!
