Wallpaper resolution? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I transferred my wallpapers from my SGS2. Resolution of those is 960x800. On my SGS4, there's a little strip of black at the bottom. Is the resolution of this screen 960x854 rather than 960x800?

This phones resolution is whatever 1080p is, drawing a blank. 1920 x 1080?

I'll try that. And if it's too big I guess it'll shrink it down.

Video aspect ratio during playback?

I loaded a couple of movies on my phone and they do not display properly. They are both the wider 2.35 aspect ratio so should display with thin black bars. Instead they get stretched taller to fill the screen.
Are there some settings hidden somewhere?

There is a button in the lower right corner of the player for stretch options. One is original and I'm sure that's the one you want. Just tap it a couple of times.
Doh! For some reason I thought it was the stop button, guess I should have pressed it!
Thanks.

Screen resolution

Hi i was reading the spec of the galaxy tab. It has an amoled screen but with a resolution of 1024x600. Does anyone knows if the super amoled on the galaxy s can reach those resolution3

Nope

The Galaxy S res is 800 x 480 or 480 x 800, depending on orientation :0)
This is hardware and can't be changed... The TAB has a 7 inch screen compared to the Galaxy's 4 inch.

[Q] Screen size compared to e.g. GS3?

If anyone has a s3 (or similar big screen) and nexus 4, would you be kind and share a pic with both next to each other with screens on?
I`d like a big screen phone (coming from a 4 inch). Thinking about buying this in January...
So is the nexus 4 screen big?

First youtube search shows the result.... ..
S3 Has a bigger and more usable screen
N4 has about 1cm less of vertical space due the on soft key buttons..
The N4 is teeny bit wider than S3..

Reduce s4 resolution

In 4.3 the resolution of s3 worked pretty good however in kitkat it won't
Anyone got a prefect 720p resolution and dpi settings for this device as setting a 1080p resolution is just a waste of battery and processing power

The screen by itself is the biggest battery drainer of the whole device. The screen itself is 1920x1080.
If you use software to put it into 1280x720 or even lower the screen itself will still be 1920x1080.
All the 1920x1080 pixels need to be enabled, regardless of the resolution set by the software.
Ergo: has no use, to save battery. Best way to conserve battery is to leave the screen off.

Mini Comparison G3 Screen and Size S5, Note 3

Here is a comparison between the G3, S5, and Note 3 screens. As you can see the AMOLED is heavily saturated when compared to the G3. The 2k screen stands out in comparison with the amount of detail that it displays. The blacks are close in color to me at least, but you can be the judge of that. All of the phones were on AUTO brightness for consistency. Pictures were taken with the S5 and the Note 3 respectively.
The G3 is a comfortable size, and I prefer its size over that of my wife's S5. I really enjoyed my Note 3, but this phone just feels much better, and the back buttons really make a difference.
EDIT Updated:
(I had another picture but the file got corrupted for some reason, I'll retake it and post it here)
Thanks for this but I think it would be better if you used the same background on all the phones so you can see the difference better vs different background pics

The picture of earth is technically a 4K or greater (5200x3000) wallpaper, but yes the 2K wall papers do make the most of the display.

Anyone noticing the scratch on the display? Gorilla Glas 3 is the worst Glas from Corning, hopefully Apple will end this with Saphire Glas

Looks really nice.. Kind of over saturated but not as bad as amoled panels. Was a big fan of amoled screens but now I prefer more accurate display. I think amoled screen make pictures look really good and punchy but lcd panels are better for viewing videos. Amoled screens are the worst for viewing dark scenes in movies and has terrible ghosting. Do you prefer the s5 screen or g3?

I prefer the G3, when I use my wife's S5 it's like you are downgrading honestly. The G3's screen feels more accurate to me and the size is much better for reading through text and as you stated watching videos. I had a Note 3 before this became my daily phone so if that gives you any insight.

Apparently lg is making their own sapphire glass as well. But there's a link in the accessories section where you can get a Tempered glass screen protector with full body protector for $10 or around £7. Bought 2 of them for lg g3 and galaxy s4. brilliant offer.. I paid £13 for a normal spigen plastic screen protector so can go wrong for the price and gives you that extra protection.

Was there a noticable difference in size when holding the G3 when compared to the S5? I currently have the S5 and while it already feels a little big when I hold it, I'm scared the G3 will feel even bigger, since it is a bit bigger.
The G3 looks great but I hate talk about how over saturated the S5 looks. Samsung actually gives you a choice. Display mate actually rated the S5 as the most color accurate phone when set to cinema mode.
