I was messing with a Tasker script and well, it didn't go as planned.
Google keeps pulling up the PPI instead of DPI.

Per ChatGPT the DPI is 505
wm density 505 && reboot
Looks right but off at the same time.

wm density reset && reboot
Everything is definitely too large. Not sure why they differ so much.

Can someone download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tribalfs.pixels or similar on their S25 Ultra and let me know what it is on the highest resolution?


Edit: Reset Density sets it to 600 per above app.
Mathematically it should be 560.

Note; Checking your DPI is harmless. You can't actually change it, even with above app or similar without ADB, even then it doesn't/can't edit the build.prop

This is why I shouldn't be tinkering on no sleep.
So many idiot things attempted to figure out (without root) how to get the original value. I figure I'd download a ROM and look at the build.prop
Problem solved?! Can't get it extracted on Win11 and don't have Linux handy.

Then after 2 hours of useless tools not working dur-dur-dur moment... " shell getprop " prints the fricken build.prop

Now I've hit a new sleepless braindead landmark

I can't remember if Android goes off

1) [ro.sf.init.lcd_density]: 600
2) [ro.sf.lcd_density]: 450
3) [vendor.display.lcd_density]: 560

1) This seems too big but is what default is***
2) String is the device default resolution during setup IIRC, aka FHD+. Way too small on WQHD+.
3) S23 U has a 560 DPI but surprise! That string isn't in the build.prop on the S23 U but the other two are. WTH.

Edit: I ran density reset on my S23 U. Apparently that is supposed to be 600. So did I try this experiment on my S23U at some point? Maybe? I guess? But why was it 560 on that device too? My head....

Edit 2: ***Maybe this is why 600 seems big. I'm used to what my S23 Ultra looked like at 560.

Edit3:3;
I need to stop these 50+ hour days. If someone for the love of all good can please let me know what their device is reporting it would be deeply appreciated.

Alternative to above app most Device Info apps should give the DPI under Display properties.

In the meantime I guess I'll try and sleep and stop posting. Maybe tomorrow go to the store and compare my phone at 560 and 600 to whatever a store model has on display.
 
It's 560, found a store that didn't have app installs locked down.

That leaves the lingering question of why does density reset choose 600.

If anyone knows, please let me know.
