First impressions video. I went hands on at the NYC launch event. - Essential Phone Questions & Answers

I am still writing something up for my blog but I figured I share this video here for all to see. Let me know what you think of the phone and the video. It's a little rough cause I lost some footage. Kind of half vlog half first impression.

Evo going back to Sprint b/c of its camera

So today I decided to a record a basketball game at school for laughs on my Evo. Little to say that when I played it back, the video stuttered left and right. I figured the phone was busy doing something, I wasn't sure. Later on I took some photos of a homework that I needed and I noticed some streaks going along the picture. I did a test of taking a picture of a white wall and it was evident something was amiss. I'll be restoring my Evo back to a stock nandroid to test things out, but it's likely to be a hardware issue. BAH! I hate taking the phone in.
Are you using the sdcard that came with it? Class 2 cards don't seem to be able yo keep up with HD recording from my experience. My class 4 is even laggy at times. The slower cards just can't write fast enough to keep up with HD speed.
Try dropping the quality, and see if it still stutters and lags.
*edit* I just saw the part about pictures, I've been working doubles since Friday. Still worth a try though.

my youtube evo gaming video

this video is old but when i made it you tube said that it violated some copy right junk, so the video would not be open to the public. well i noticed that i received a comment on my video, so apparently it now is available to the public i thought i'd share a link.
when i made this, i was very proud of myself, lol. now it may appear a bit dated but for those of us who love our evos sometimes we just cant get enough.

I tried to watch it man but it says "video is not for Mobile". Probably have to only watch it from the comp since it has copyrighted material. Ill check it out.

Impressive! I had wondered what the 3D gaming capabilities of this little device were, this video showcases them quite well. Now, about the 24+ hour battery life... what sort of usage are you getting out of it for that time? I'm just curious to know, I'm happy with my 12-18 hours, but that's with alot of idling.

[INFO] Transformer Quick Review

Hey, here's a short video review of the Transformer. I did it in a hurry, so it's not very polished, but should give you a good idea of what to expect from the machine.
I love my transformer and use it everyday for many purposes especially since I've gotten the dock and the new firmware has been released.

Good review!
Very cool review, thanks for that. Two questions:
1) Was your audio popping, with that first track you played? I don't think so, as it wasn't with the other tracks, but the pops didn't sound in time with the music.
2) Could you try playing a game of some description over MyNet? I'm curious to see how laggy it is. (I know there's a Portal 2 one, but that's not the best)
I thought the resolution was 1280x800?...

You are correct. I had notes on the side while I was filming and wrote down the wrong resolution. Sorry about that.

I haven't had any audio popping that I know of. I think maybe what you're hearing the video could be my dog's collar as she was around while I was filming.
I will try a game and post it when I return home tonight.
Excellent review. This ought to be on Youtube so more can see it and what this tablet can do.

Does anyone else really dislike unboxing videos?

I still search for and watch reviews of the Galaxy Note to see general opinion, but I completely skip unboxing videos now. They're 99% identical and there's almost nothing worse than a review by someone who has used the phone for oh..... 30 seconds.
I really don't understand why people keep making more and more unboxing videos when so many already exist.

I watched as many as I could find while I was waiting at my doorstep for FedEx to deliver my note. I have not watched one since. I would say there is a time and place for them.

Dont mind unboxing videos much. But what pisses me off is unboxing videos with preopened boxes. Whats the point if youve already opened the box before the video lol.
Side not, videos someone reviewing a product they dont own, showing pictures. That sh1t drives me crazy.
yes i agree with you. i like to see a good review starting with unboxing but there is no video like that. unbox it for 5 mintures review it for 1 minute this is how todays videos like
Well I do unboxing videoa of my own products. And I'm part of this unbox website in the Philippines. I own all devices because its a hobby of mine. Show some love!
I agree they are terrible
Can not stand them - I know I don't have to watch them, but seeing dozens of them in my search result really does piss me off. There should only be one for each major language spoken on earth. If you speak english and you can see there is another english unboxing video on U-tube, don't make another one!!!! I want to see the product, not "and here are the headphones, they're **** so I won't open them........ and here is some paper... hang on......................international warranty....... and here is a usb cable. This is the end where it plugs into the computer, the other end goes in here, um, where is it, er, not sure where it goes......................................................................Lets see what we have here...... wait a minute................................................. yeah, it's a battery. Oh I almost forgot................................. this is George, the postman who brought the package here this morning.............. If you're wondering why he's tied up and gagged, it's decause he didn't want to feature in this video................... but I said he had to, as I have to document everything, right from the beginning............. else it wouldn't be a proper unboxing video....................................................... Here we have the charger - looks cool - I like this charger............................... what does it say.............................................................................................................................................. can't read it............. Hope you enjoyed my product tour................ if you did......................... please subscribe........................ **Mmmph-urghhh**..... Shut it George".
Rant over.
Unboxing videos are a waste of time, maybe except the first one. Running few random games, benchmarks, interesting apps and talking briefly about some things that make this particular model stand out from the crowd is much more informative. But most ppl seem not to get it. I just wonder, who watches this crap, maybe they watch each others' unboxing videos???
I hate videos, period. I prefer reading an article about the gadget, backed up with a few screenshots.

Google Pixel Unboxing!

This and some other recent pixel videos make me think Google is filtering search results artificially both on google search engine and on youtube. I have a google alert setup for anything related to pixel and nothing pops up. I search on youtube for pixel and these videos don't show up. Makes me think pretty seriously that google plays with search results.

Why wouldn't they want these unboxing videos to show up?
They all show up when I search. Just switch results to sort by upload date and boom there they all are
Shows up private for me?

Maybe she didn't want her makeup channel to be clogged with people asking her how she got her hands on a phone so early.

Youtube is a heavily monetized service, with LOTS of money and high viewed videos ranking highly and numerously in most searches.. I upload somewhat regularly, have some small but consistent viewership, and sometimes new videos I upload don't show up in nearly any search result I give, for even a week or more, and still it might be buried. I have to use my exact channel name or a unique artist tag in the title.
General search terms like "pixel unboxing 2016" will each spawn a myriad of results hiding EVERY new, non promoted video to 300 pages in. There is that much stuff on Youtube..
Just my 2 cents, at any rate.
I hope to unbox my Pixel sometime early next week!
