Given that the Tegra 2 is capable of recording 1080p video, I was wondering how to enable it. The camcorder app only allows up to 720p recording.
From Google searching, I can only find articles that say Motorola is planning on releasing an update to the Atrix to enable 1080p recording. Do they plan on doing the same for the photon?
Aparently, there is an camera apk mod that can be used to enable 1080p recording on the Atrix. Anyone had any luck with it on the Photon? EDIT: here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079760
I bought the Photon because of the Tegra 2 and assumed it could 1080p record. Guess I should have done my research, but nVidia and Motorola kept claiming that 1080p is possible and will be included on their Tegra 2 phones.
yes you can by editing some files...its easy to do.....but you will not like that
its a crapy imagem.....I realize the camera on photon its the same off atrix...the hardware its the same....If ou put alien rom from photon into atrix, you will get 8mpx camera :S

Is it possible to get this to work on Photon 4G. The two share very similar specs including tegra 2.
I'd love to get a working 1080p recording ability on my Photon.

I am using my old DROID X right now as a tablet, but I am a Photon owner, Motorola is releasing an update for the ATRIX, and we have the same camera app/hardware specs, so we should get 1080p from their app if we pull it when they get the update, -or- Motorola gives us a 1080p update, which we're hoping will be soon.

Couldn't we suggest that to them on the Motorola forums?

Yeah, I read, at least on the atrix, its 1080p resolution but at a lower bitrate and FPS.
I still want to give it t a try. I tried adding a 1080p entry into the build.prop, but I can't enable it with either the stock camera or the lgcamera.
Do you know what the exact editing should be?

Is there any type of hack or mod we can do that allows us to stream at least 720p content fluidly, I noticed a slight change from 2.2 to 2.3 just a tad bit more smooth,it just needs a little more,im starting to think its our lack or ram, seeing as we only have 404 instead of the 512...god damn Motorola

Never have had issues with streaming HD material on youtube. Even on barebone stock froyo, probably the ****ty coding, doubt its the physical amount of RAM.
You are telling me that you can go to the desktop version of youtube on your Droid x2 and watch a video in 720p and it'll be completely fluid?

Sent from my DROID X2
I've streamed with wifi and have had no issues so far. 3G is a hit or miss sometimes it'll not be able to keep up with the video, sometimes it will. If I'm on 3G I generally use the app or if I'm patient, I let it load and just drag back to beginning w/o hitting replay.
Where the hell are you that your 3G can keep up with HD? Are you sure we are both using verizons 3G O.O

I can't watch any 1080p or 720p video- online or regular mp4 video from internal storage.
It goes like 4 fps. I looked in the atrix forum, and apparently the tegra 2 chipset likes only certain kinds of HD video (something to do with how the video is encoded).
Anything encoded with with a High profile will not play smoothly on the Tegra 2 chipsets.

I don't have first hand knowledge of why but have seen more than a few posts on various forums stating it's the chipset that's at fault.
http://www.androidcentral.com/motorola-seeking-out-beta-testers-motorola-electrify-update
I know it says Motorola Electrify as soon as you see the graphic you will realize, the Electrify is for all intents and purposes, the Motorola Photon 4G, with a 4.3-inch display, Android 2.3, dual-core processor, 8MP rear camera, VGA front camera, HDMI and DLNA output at 1080p.
Who knows maybe the update is and update that we already have to our phones so it is for naught, but maybe its an ICS Update and Sprint said 'Whoa! You are not rolling out a 'public' beta test, Not on our Network buddy!'
Something to keep an eye on.
They actually already did this for the Photon.
I think its too late to join the beta program now though.
Too early for ICS.

Kindly help me to choose from ATRIX or Thrill
i have ARIX but i got an exchange deal with Thrill + Rs.1500($30) INR
From all specs i understand Thrill is overall better phone but
atrix has 1GB ram where 512 in thrill(but still its fast)
thrill has very poor life where atrix has 2000 mah battery.
atrix has better developer support.
thrill has 4.3" 3D screen
What i am concerned is:
1. if thrill play 1080p mkv download from net without convert
2. Games compatibility with thrill
3. video Gtalk
what you people wants to suggest?
to me the RAM is a big deal, the dev support is also important. I would stick with the Atrix
+1
1 GB of RAM is indeed a big plus on the Atrix.
Having 1 GB of RAM will allow (theoretically) an upgrade path to ICS or whatever comes next. Having actual ICS developers successfully working on this is another issue altogether though.
Also, you pretty much summarized all the features that makes the Atrix a better option compared to the Thrill. Although you forgot to mention the biometric scanner on the Atrix.
However, playing 1080P MKVs on the Atrix (or any other smartphone that I've tried) is not really good. At least on the Atrix you'll have to resort to a third party app like MX Video Player and use Software decoding since there is no hardware acceleration MKV codecs as of yet.
Video calls of the Atrix work awesomely good as you may have noticed.
In the end, the best phone is the one you end up using and liking, no matter what people say.
Cheers!

And don't forget the lapdock! Once you hack that and turn it into a (mostly) real linux box it's quite nice.
Thrill is better than atrix. and already have a full working ICS port, and,well... Atrix have a buggy kang of cm9...
Choose a phone thinking in the software, not about hardware.... I learned this with the atrix

Agreed!
The lapdock, or should I say the Webtop option on the Atrix makes it better, much better in my opinion. Also LG is not the best in hardware design, all their models look and feel cheap and bulky, also in my opinion...
Does the Thrill have HDMI output?

thanks all of you for sharing ur experience.. this is really helping me out.
Atrix...my first Android and will be my only one until I see something better. Thus far, even the galaxy nexus is no match.
thats odd i had to go see since someone said working ics port and it looks more like they are still working with froyo mostly and some nightlies of cm7.anyway atrix all day if your itching for a new phone wait for a quad core to come out in a few months.if you have a dual core phone now anything you buy would just be a lateral move
Always Motorola, LG had never had a great reputation with the reliability of their hardware. Motorola always has better battery life, better call quality and better signal reception. Those are important right !!!

What do you mean full screen? Our devices can't do HD Netfix right now because of our processor or something. HD Netflix isn't compatible with it. We'll get it eventually.

From what I've read, you can download a file so you can get HD netflix..though its not full screen viewing like the market app is.
Idk where, but its the razrs netflix app that does HD. The galaxy nexus forums have the link to the app .
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
Yeah, many of us have tried that HD Netflix .apk. It won't do anything really. The HD version just isn't compatible yet. Even if you have the .apk, it won't give you true HD until Netflix makes it compatible with our processors.
Here is the thread that has the HD Netflix if you want to try it. But like I said, it won't really do much. Worth a shot, though.
Thanks I shall give it a try..hope they come out with one compatible with the rezound soon!

Tried the apk myself and could not get it to work properly. Plus it repeatedly asked me to upgrade to a newer version in the Android Market. So I got rid of it.

The Nexus is able to do it since it uses similar architecture as the OMAP4 from the Razr. The Snapdragon is a differen't thing. Guess we got screwed on the HD, funny how the Snapdragon Devices were one of the first devices to get Netflix over the OMAP when it was first released.
I had one that worked in full hd and fullscreen but it became outdated and is useless now as you can't play anything without it asking for an update
Its not technically the processor, but the security capabilities. The OMAP4's have whats needed for it to be "secure". I remember an article about it i believe when the droid 3 came out, and heres an example:
http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/05/netflix-for-android-gets-first-hd-streaming-certification-texas/
The only phone right now that has the security certificate to allow HD streaming from Netflix is the RAZR. Go figure the device w/o a HD screen gets HD netflix . Eventually one day our devices will support HD netflix.
