Does my device actually record in 720P? - Ornate TrueSmart

I've checked the details tab on a supposedly 720P video and reports correctly that the video is 1280 by 720 however when I access the file from my computer it reports the resolution is 864 by 480. Anyone else experience the same problem?

There's something like six different x201 models so no clue if your device records in 720P or not as you did not say what device you are asking about.

Oh I'm sorry. I got the Omate Truesmart 1GB RAM and 8GB Storage version for the US. Also a non-developer model.

Every Omate firmware, since at least December, records in 720P. You do however have to set your TS to record at 720P.

You need to change it to 720, it doesn't record that way default.

I don't see an option for 720P. I've got the video quality set to Fine and that is coming out 864x480 on the computer.

This is something I'll have to look into. All previous videos I did were 720P and the most recent one was 480P (16:9).

Could it be a possibility that my smartwatch has out of date firmware? The Custom build version that is on it is "Omate_Truesmart_20140120.154604_V2.0"

Don't do anything with the firmware. It's being looked into, as well as an easy fix. No promises.

OK. So where are the proper channels to check for updates for the truesmart?

If your are referring to a change log and firmware list like most others have. There is none.
Basically hit "check for updates" and hope the OTA server is working or wait til somebody notices their firmware is different than everybody else.

Huh. That's a shame. Even free software developers do that.

I get a ringing when I try and record video. The real sound does come through as well, but the ringing is quite loud and annoying.

Same with my Omate TS 1/8 2100, which came in yesterday. I cannot find any way to change that. Even apps like LG Camera which worked for me on other devices achieve only 864 by 480 as max. resolution. Any ideas are highly appreciated.

My TS 1/8 2100 is on 20140328-1829 - OTA update says, that this is the latest version.
You think that another version might resolve this issue?
Edit: I searched all day, but found no solution: is there any way to get a true 720p video recording with the 1/8 2100 TS and the above mentioned firmware? Any help / hint is highly appreciated
Edit 2: Nobody who could help me? I have no idea what to change to get real 720p video resolution

Since there are at least 4 different hardware revisions, I wonder if Omate ever will offer OTA updates... I feel being fooled as 720p recording was one of the biggest reasons to get the TrueSmart. And I found no workaround so far to get 720p working on the 1/8 2100 version.
Could anybody post an unedited 720p sample video clip to allow me to judge its quality?
Thanks in advance!

Update does not change much...

I installed the latest OTA update 2 days ago (without unrooting my watch, but I lost root, and framaroot doesn't work any longer. Though I could reinstall TWRP, I was not able to boot into recovery. So my backups weren't much useful. Finally I flashed an older firmware, with TWRP recovery.img instead of the original one, booted into recovery, and could then restore my backup).
During the time I used the updated version I still had only 480p video resolution. No 3rd party camcorder app could so far get rid of this limit, while some are capable to increase the video bit rate and therefor the video quality.
(A little bit off topic, but may help eventually anyways: MTKdroid tools do not work during folder mount has mounted any folders! Also a USB data connection will only show the external SD card (and this one even not completely) during any folders are mounted. Unmounting folders with folder mount does also not work once a USB connection was established without rebooting the watch. It took me a while to figure that out).
I would appreciate any hints how to increase the video recording resolution up to 720p on the European 1/8 2100 version! Thanks in advance!

whats the easiest way to get 1080p on the atrix ? like is there a file we can flash it with ? Thanks
Not sure about a 1080p camera but there is 1080p recording for the Atrix on various roms. You could try the droid 3 camera.

You can't do 1080p properly on the Atrix yet. All current methods to "hack" this have been proven to be not 100% 1080p. Be happy with great 720p until Motorola releases an update enabling 1080p, (or "if" they release an update).
If you want to go ahead and use one of the current hacks, obviously nobody can/is going to stop you. Just be aware that 1080p recording is not currently capable on this device. It may say 1080p.................doesn't mean it is 1080p.
1080p playback was enabled with 2.3.4.

MHL, delays and input lag.

Hi all
Running foxhound 1.3, using galaxsih kernel, just popped my MHL cable in my TV.
Anyway needless to say its very cool. However its got a slight delay in input, making gaming a pain in the ass.
I'm using an official MHL cable, powering it with an official power pack and my tv is a beast, all post processing on the TV has been disabled and game mode has been activated, meaning that it should run as good as it can.
I think I've done as much as I can to bring the delay down to a minimum, but its still very noticeable , gaming is not very good because there is a noticeable delay, so anything that requires quick reactions is a no no.
Does anyone have any input about this? It would be superb to get this working well, its cost a few quid to buy all high grade components to set this up, its a shame that its fell at the last hurdle.
Any help would be great
Thanks.

Know that feel, bro.
I also bought the official samsung mhl adapter for s3 (int. edition). And guess what, this adapter gives out a signal of 1080p30Hertz
For real, wtf, is this, only 15 frames per second, videos are not really watchable, games not enjoyable, extreme lag on games, something that shouldnt be, but it is there.
I asked sammy bout that, they said I should send my phone to the service center cause it could be broken (hahaha -.-'') Or my adapter is maybe a faulty unit. I dont know. I have to test it with other s3s. Maybe the adapter doesnt work properly cause my phone is flashed (with system marked as changed and not official state, so I cant update via OTA).
I have to take some time this weekend to check it out, cause it would be really awesome, to play on my FHD tv nfs most wanted.

Dont be sending it back just yet, i've got several s3's in work and i'll be trying them out today, i've attempted it on my two tv's (both Tv's switched to game mode for fastest response time) A Panasonic viera 3DTV, and an LG 3DTV, both top of the line. My HD cables are gold plated high grade 2 metre cables, the MHL is also Official.
I don't believe it's the handset at all.
I think it's just a crap job done at mirroring.
I honestly don't want 1080p, i just wanted 720p, i wanted it to mirror whats on the handset pixel for pixel.
It doesn't need to render it twice, just mirror the one set ffs.
Samsung are terrible for this, there is about half a second lag on my TV, playing tekken was sh** and lagged, on the s3 it was rapid.
Does anyone else have any input on this?
Tried i don't know how many TV's and all have similar results.
Surely it can compete with the like of apple when it comes to getting your device on TV

I've tried it with omega and its the same. I also tested with different TVs, 5 in total and different cables too. 3 in total. And two different HDMI cables.
Maybe its just bad luck. I'll attempt it with another ROM.
Have you used the MHL cable yourself? What results did you have ? I'm aiming at gaming more than anything.

I've just received a MHL adapter, it's not the Samsung official one though.
I don't have any noticeable input lag but I can see it's always running at 30fps.
That's easy to notice while playing emulators (Sonic on megadrive/genesis ).
I tested it on my Samsung 1080p TV, it gives a 1080p output at 30Hz which I think is the maximum possible with this MHL technology atm.
So, I thought "let's try this on the 720p TV I've got downstairs, maybe it will run at 60FPS".
And... no, still 30FPS at 720p.
I was wondering if it was a cheap MHL fault and if the Samsung official one would run faster, what do you guys think? you always have 30fps as well?

Not sure what mine runs at, all I know is that it cost £27 and its nowhere near as good as the iphone one, which pisses me off as I can't stand it when apple has something over android.
That aside, I think the s3 and this mhl technology should work well, but as far as I can see, besides simple browsing and movies, gaming isn't all that good. Infact unless your playing solitaire or pool or something, its not possible. Was playing real racing and although it looks amazing, the delay is just so noticable.
Tekken 3 on epsxe was unplayable and it lagged.
Haven't tried it since the 4.1.2 update but I can't see it moving ahead a lot. Will test it again and see how I go.

I'm stuck at 1080p at 30hz, don't have the option to alter it on my TV, would be nice to be able to have 720 with 60hz.
Thanks for the answer.
Everyone seem to have this problem, 30Hz max while it's technically possible to do [email protected]
I saw someone made a modification at kernel level on the HTC One S to force 60Hz. I asked him how he did but didn't get any answer yet.

Would be good to know how as the delay and lag is a killer.
Great for movies crap for games.
I found his github with the commit but the files are not similar to what we have on I9300.
I've now found that my 0anason8c Vieira runs the mhl cable at 1080i at 60hz. It is smoother. But still not perfect.

Hello
Got a Galaxy note 2, stock ROM JB 4.1.2, with samsung official GS3/GN2 11pin adapter. I have the same problem with the official smartdock and the Juice Defender 5 in 1 MHL Connection Kit.
I have the same problem described by the OP: Output seems to be 1080p.
But about an half second lag that just make games impossible to play on a TV. And that is also easy to see when I open app on the home screen.
Do you really confirm you have no delay ?
If yes I would be really interested in having the ref of your adapter.
30fps or 720p would be just fine for me if I at least I got no delay.
Note: And in addition, I can see with emulators such as N64oid the rendering is much better on my phone screen than on my TV (that's blured and pixelated), what is not the case in other apps (homescreen, video player, ...).
UPDATE 06/05/2017:
The delay was caused by a setting on my TV.
I noticed the same delay when I connected the TV to my PC. After having enabled the PC mode on the TV, the delay disappeared.
I have not rechecked with the phone and the MHL adapter, but I am now pretty sure the delay should be solved now.
Sorry for this false alarm.

Hi, I checked my cable and where I bought it but it's hard to answer.
There is just "HDTV adapter" written on it and no reference at all.
The shop I bought it from has a different adapter on the picture now, so I think they send whatever they have atm.
The price is higher too...
Sorry can't really help here.
I also suspect different TV can have more or less input lag with an MHL connected (and they already have different input lag natively btw).
Bad technology...
Thanks for your answer anyway.
In fact that cannot come from the TV, since my TV (like almost all) is not MHL enabled, meaning there are only regular MHL inputs.
Of course there is a small delay on all TVs, but there is a really big difference between the phone and the PC, if I connect it on the same HDMI input.
So the delay could only come from the MHL to HDMI bridge or to the phone itself.
stock kernel may help fix the mhl delay.i use stock rom with kernel and stock launcher. i do not have mhl issues. also nova launcher may cause mhl to not work
OK, but actually I use a GN2 stock ROM JB 4.1.2. Are you in JB 4.2 ? Or maybe there is difference between S3 and GN2...

1080p video output/mirror?

So, I updated to ICS and wanted to try out webtop on my HDTV via a micro HDMI cable I bought, it gets into webtop just fine but the issue is that it is at 600x800 resolution and I can hardly read the words, the resolution option in display settings is also greyed out so I cannot change the resolution, this also happens with mirror mode, is it a hardware related issue? I'm on the stock pshasiaretail ROM with root access.

Seriously? I remember seeing on moto's forums that this can output 1080p or 720p, I have also got it to 1080p once, not sure how I got it to work but it was sure damn full hd
I have tried too. I was able to enable the resolution menu and to set full hd 1080p.
But even if the final resolution is 1080p the phone starts with a very low resolution and the interpolates it to 1080p and sends it to the tv.
So I cannot see real 1080p photos or video or webtop.

If you go into an app does it still stay 4:3? I should be getting my N9 today and i didn't even consider this when screen mirroring
