Epic 4G Touch Video Quality

Hoping someone out there could help me out.
I am considering buying the Epic 4G touch and was wondering if someone could take a quick outdoor video and upload the the raw file online. All the video's that I've seen on youtube are very jerky when the camera is panned side to side so I want to see if this is a youtube problem, or if this is a camera/phone deficiency.
Many thanks!

I just got mine yesterday, I've take 2 videos with it, they're random to say the least but I will try to make a good outdoor video for you tomorrow.
I've uploaded the video files to my website, they were taken in 1080p.
http://www.skidhacker.com/1.mp4
http://www.skidhacker.com/2.mp4
Right click and save file as.

Took these yesterday. Hopefully they can help
720p .mp4
1080p .mp4
Also, if you want you can browse the directory here to see additional videos as well as raw 8M pictures. Keep in mind, I was walking in some of the other videos which would account for a lot of the shaking.

I plan on doing a bass flex video tomorrow with my new winter beater and my fi audio 15" sub... Camera has to be pretty good to pick up some of the flex it will go on youtube tho...

Special thanks to Josh and a635 for posting videos. The difference between the youtube quality and raw quality was substantial.
If anyone else wants to upload some raw video tests, I would love to see them.
Thank again!

Motorolla Roadster!

I just picked up a motorolla roadster. For anyone who doesnt know what it is. Its a bluetooth device that will do anything Sync will do. It will play music, text, phone calls, all wireless and all through your cars speakers. And it works amazing. Anyone else have it? I liked it so much i got one for my girlfriend and my father. Its simple and works amazing. No need for cd or mp3 players anymore. Spotify and google music work flawless through my speakers! Loving it!

That's what I want to know. The only way it could is either it plugs into the AUX jack of your car or uses the stereos radio frequency.

Turns out to be FM radio. Just found it.

You put it on fm mode and pick a all static station. It comes in extremely clear tho it is perfect. Spotify and this is amazing. Road trips are even better now. Love this thing

Been using the Motorola Rockr for a year now, love it

The Roadster look nice. Even though my 2011 VW GTI has built in bluetooth, I hate the lack of dedicated buttons for its function to make it work. I have to fumble thru the in dash menu, which though not much of a hassle makes its use somewhat inconvenient (damn am I lazy or what? lol)

I have the rokr head phones also and love them but roadster is way better. And lol i dont think your lazy i use my fathers and honestly my roadster is more user friendly and easier to use. I am an indirect dealer. I sell verizon and sprint and since we got these in ive been selling the heck out of them. And havnt had a complaint everyone is loving it!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Quick question: Can you still listen to cd's or in my case, a usb connected device (flash drive, mp3 player etc) without disconnecting from the FM frequency? As it is once I pop in a cd my head unit displays the cd GUI functions & not the radio.

You can still use them ofcourse but i dont need to i have all my cds on my phone. But yes you can still use them it will just reuire u to switch to fm when a call comes in. So basically u would have to push the fm button on your car. The roadster will stay in fm mode. Another great thing about it is it shuts off when you arnt using it to save battery but as soon as u get in the car again it can sense it and auto turns on. Its very cool

Very good find thank you for adding that! I am a indirect dealer for sprint and Verizon. I have sold a lot of the roadsters and ordered the roadster 2 a while back but they kept sending me the roadster 1. I'm glad they did. I'll try the second one out when I get them and report back!!

HTC Media Link - Dialaphone Pre-orders

I just wondered if anybody that pre-ordered their One X through Dialaphone have received their media link yet. We got told that it would arrive within 28 days of receiving our phone (which is nearly up) but I wondered if that was possible seeing as Amazon say that it won't even be released until the end of May.

Haven't got mine yet...

I haven't even had my gadget helpline letter so I can't cancel it.

They email you, they don't send a letter. You can phone them up and give them your post-code if you don't have your reference number and cancel anyway.

I called this number 01373839990, gave my postcode confirmed a few details, cancelled the gadget helpline, and received a confirmation email all within about 5 mins.

Ok, so 28 days from when I received my phone has come and gone, and as I suspected, still no Media Link. Has anybody else received theirs yet?
I think I might give them a call in the morning and see what I can get out of them.

I had a card through the door from Yodel which could be it but from the looks.of things D.A.P are using royalmail as per those that have received them.from P4U.

DAP sent my ibeats by Royal Mail so I would imagine that the media link will come with them too.

How did u get the I beats
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I just phoned up and told them that when I ordered I was told that the phone would come with a set of beats headphones (I wasn't told this ). Their twitter account also tweeted that the phone would come with beats headphones (the tweet has now been deleted) which I reminded them of and they sent me a set out.

My media link arrived today, just giving replacement phone the full charge to unleash the beast
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA

I had a royal mail card left today so I expect it to be the medialink.
I did ring DAP two days ago to complain about it not coming, along with not being happy not receiving iBeats (bearing in mind I have already had a £36 refund from them after initially complaining) now DAP are sending me a pair of iBeats as well for the inconvenience caused

Yes please, I wondered what it would be like on a 42 inch tv
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I got mine delivered from DAP today.
Its really simple to set up and use, but you can only use the phone in landscape mode. Web browsing works really well, and playing movies worked fine for me, I tested with a large high quality 720p .AVI film played through MX Player and the quality was great but there was occassional judder on the TV that I didnt see on the phone.
I think the medialink has some inbuilt memory for caching as if you view 1080p video recorded on the phone it seems to preload/buffer the video before playing it. The quality is really good with recorded 1080p clips and I didnt see any judder at all.
I've got the Orange Panther swappables with streaming sky sports and that also worked, although the quality of the video stream is really bad, it was only just about watchable.
I'm really impressed with it, especially as it was a freebie for pre-ordering.

I got mine on Wednesday, was a nice bonus as I had forgot all about it.
It works well on my 32" samsung led tv, internet etc works very well

Videos work really well, streaming on 50inch tv and feels like I'm watching a hd channel

Stereo video hiss issue

Hello. My One X is afflicted with the very annoying hissing sound when in stereo recording as shown here (Not my video)
watch?v=Y8GTloRDO08 (Not allowed to post videos yet!)
I have been experimenting and at least on my phone the hiss doesn't occur if my headphones are plugged in it sounds perfectly normal then.
I am not technical at all so would this mean anything to anyone?
Seriously tempted to try and get a replacement I just know I will get someone that is hard of hearing that cant hear it to test it. It is especially blatant if you put headphones on it is horrible

+1
have same problem

After reading this topic, i checked mine and i also hear a hiss with stereo ON, untick stereo no hiss all good don't bother me and i thought i had a fault free HOX lol ohh well, better a hiss then a screen problem, battery etc.

+1. Got much worse after the latest update so seems to me it is a software issue.

Can anyone else confirm this issue and post their software versions?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

Same issue here, though it is the same with and without stereo recording turned on.
Interestingly, using something like Camera ICS+ results in no hissing sound, so it's either the software that HTC ships, or the app itself uses a processing chip that the third-party apps do not.
Software version number - 129.401.11.
The handset is a UK, unbranded and carrier unlocked device.

I placed an order for the eartones this am.......I will let you know when they arrive whether they work or not. I emailed iskin and asked if they worked and the rep said they work 100% for mic, volume, everything......same as headset we get with phone.......so heres hoping he wasn't wrong!!
UPDATE..........
So I got the eartones today and they do work great for an apple earbud replacement! HOWEVER, there is NO volume control........they are not even capable of it so not sure why the rep at iskin told me on two occasions that volume control works???? They sound far better than apple earbuds and the mic works great on the S3 as well as answering and declining calls, playing and pausing music. That was my beef with the apple ones as the mic didn't work on the GS3.

If its made for iPhone then most likely no

Yeah thats exactly what I thought too, but then it said it supports the S3 on the site and so I decided to inquire about it working and they claim it does......at any rate I should know is I just wasted my money in a few days.

Do u have a link or model number for the earphones

Yeah so I went to the home page then clicked on shop. Then clicked on vibe under Samsung on the left side. This brought up a page that has the GS3 cases (vibe and aura) as well as it stating the eartones are compatible with the phone too. So yeah the weird thing is there is only one type......not a model for the iPhone and galaxy........so don't worry, I, like u are quite skeptical. But I guess we will see. I still have the email from them stating they work exactly like the Samsung set we get with the phone so I guess I should have no problem returning them if they don't work.

Thank you for your question.
The eartones absolutely work with the samsung galaxy s3 in regards to the functionality you require.

Do those have volume control? Probably not as it seems that is always the kicker. Thanks for the suggestion......they are less than $10 so I will likely buy a pair just to try out.

The link I give for black earphone have volume control for asking galaxy s3

Guys, I thought I would post this here as well so you can get my review for the eartones........
Hey fellow xda members I just wanted to share my take on the iSkin Eartones that I just received today. These are great for anyone who doesn't like in-ear headsets. The fit in your ear is very similar to the apple earbuds which for me was a huge plus because I use my headset mostly for business calls etc while I drive (which in-ear were too unsafe as they block out all outside sound). The sound quality is actually very good for an earbud. There is good lows and highs and there is an included set of foam covers to put over the tips which would give you better sealing of the ear to further enhance the sound for the music junkies out there.
They have some flex in the earbud part which allows it to fit very well in different ear shapes.
The sound quality on the other end of a phone conversation is extremely good according to my business partners.
The only downside for me is that there is no volume control. This is a letdown since the rep I spoke with at iSkin prior to ordering these said to me on two occasions that they had volume control and that it worked flawlessly with the GS3.......not sure where he was pulling that info from but he is wrong.
They are $39.99 for www.iSkin.com
Also, the shipping was super fast. I am in Calgary AB and they shipped form Toronto to me in less than a day!
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

Yep........I ordered a pair of those........so we will see how they work and sound. The guys at iSkin said they would fully refund my shipping and price for the Eartones if I didn't like them since they misinformed me about the volume control. I will likely keep them though as they do sound pretty good. But I have my fingers crossed the HTC ones will work for everything and not sound like crap.
