Hi,

I am trying to change the settings on my phone to optimize the camera for printing photos.

Although I am taking photos on the highest resolution (12M 3968X2976 4:3) they are only saving as 72dpi.

I am looking to store the photos at 300 dpi.

Anyone have any tips for me? I'm a complete novice to android so apologies if this is a basic question!

Thanks,

Sarah

It is also possible to try to change the DPI of an Android device without root.

Step 1: Enable USB Debugging on your Android device from Settings -> Developer Options.

Step 2: Download and install ADB drivers and Minimal ADB for Windows.

Step 3: Connect your Android device to your PC. If you get a prompt on your device asking you to authorise this PC for debugging, make sure to select ‘Always allow from this computer’ before tapping ‘Ok.’

Step 4: Now execute the following command in the command prompt window that had automatically opened at the end of Step 2:

        adb shell wm density 300 && adb reboot

As soon as the command is executed, your device will reboot for the changes to take effect.

Keep in mind that certain system apps on your device might not work well with the change in DPI values. For example, in some cases, camera app will perhaps crash.

If you want to reset the DPI back to its original value, run the following command in ADB:

       adb shell wm size reset && adb reboot

Download size < 0.15 MB. But also accurate enough, ad-free & free.
