Galaxy Nexus Timelapse Videos!

Here are a couple of videos I recored using the timelapse function of the Galaxy Nexus! Please note that no mount was used in either video! This was just to test the function itself. With practice I'm certain we can get some amazing footage recorded with this!
anyways here are the videos! Please enjoy! (please watch in 1080p)

I don't understand you said you had problems with the camera and you couldn't post because you didn't have time to but yet you post these two videos, I can't see them so well on my netbook but what camera was you using on these two videos ? sure looks like the back camera to me !, Like I said I can't see them on this computer, So your 2 post are confusing to me

couldn't post any pics of the issue as I never had time to take said pics of the issue before returning the device. (these videos were taken before I noticed the issue - sorry for the confusion)
the camera issue is in regards to the lens not being centered - the sensor in which case has a bigger chance of not letting in equal amounts of light.
this post is basically 2 videos I shot with the Galaxy Nexus to show its time-lapse functionality.
the rear camera on my device however was not as it should have been - hence I returned it and will try my luck again in a few days.

Awesome! I like the soundtrack choice. Where is the video shot and what's the music from? Sorry if I missed that in the YouTube description.

thanks yo! the video was shot from an apartment window (14 floors up) without a mount! i basically just balanced the device infront of a cup (kinda stupid really come to think of it)
the music was the nearest time match i could find on youtube audioswap
its a very cool feature!

For the 1:20 long video you made, how long did it take? And did it use a lot of battery or did you have it plugged in?

Great Videos!!!! Well done. What program did you use to add the music over them?
Also, let me know if your replacement had lens in perfect centre. Mine is off slightly too, but not enough to think of returning it. It's only a phone camera after all. I read one guy went back to change it and all 8 replacements they opened for him had the lens slightly off centre. Might be the entire first run?

I got to try out the time lapse feature last night... shot a little video... it's a cool feature, although I think the camera is not as good as the SGS2

I don't have a Galaxy Nexus but I want to know approx how long would you be able to take time-lapse photos with Galaxy Nexus with a fully charged battery?
i.e. Information I am interested are
1) From fully charged to completely flat battery, how many hours and minutes did the Galaxy Nexus last taking time-lapse photography?
2) What is the time interval it is configured to shoot
3) If there is a photos count, the total number of photos taken would be useful too
I assume the Galaxy Nexus is shooting photos with LCD screen off, GPS off, with an active SIM card inside (i.e. not in airplane) mode and WIFI on/off. Would be useful if you can specify exactly what conditions is your Galaxy Nexus configured at during the time-lapse photography.
FYI, I am running a series of tests on a HTC G1 taking time lapse photography and the data I obtained shows that time-lapse photography shows it is almost impossible to take time-lapse photography without plugging it into a power supply... If you can share the information I asked above, I tell you more about my findings or where you can see it. (I am currently running more tests to figure out how to take photos over weeks and months outdoors without a power point......)

my replacement is perfect! not a single issue with it at all! the phone is so impressive it has sold itself to a few of my friends who have also purchased the phone!

*****in'
Those vids are money bro! You got me wanting to try this feature out now. I must say, I think I will invest in a gorilla pod to film time-lapse instead of... leaning it against a cup... on a railing.... 14 stories high.
Be careful man, your next post might be a time-lapse drop test

Neat thanks for posting...cant wait to try something like that but im always on the damn thing so a time lapse would render me without a gadget for that time period.

Samsung Muse Video Review!

Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the Samsung Muse. There are hardly any reviews online so i thought i would give an in depth look. Here is a link to the video review:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlpDvtDCCDc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
The Muse is on sale for 50 on Samsung, and 60 from Amazon. In short, its a great item if you simply need a lightweight, inexpensive mp3 player, but for every day use you might as well stick with your phone.
This is my second YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!

nice review! i've gone through tons of sansa clips and ipod shuffles because i run long distances and sweat like crazy. do you think the pebble would hold up any better?

I bet it would. It's a pretty durable piece of technology.

Anyone use the Z5 Premium as a VR entertainment device?

So I read through the other thread that talked about VR, but it's dead. So I'm posting a new one to see who's currently doing this, if anyone at all.
Are any of you using the Z5 Premium to watch movies through VR? I've never ventured into VR territory but the Z5P keeps luring me in. I don't care about gaming, and I don't care about 3D. What I'm really looking for is a way to block out the rest of the world and watch a movie. It can even just be pitch black around the movie (I guess that's called Void cinema in the world of Oculus?).
There's got to be one of you out there.

I used it twice with a plastic, adjustable and good quality cardboard a coworker bought and it was very cool, as the screen is ver big, it filled the space of the cardboard. I tested some games but for movies I guess it would be cool to. In fact, Im planning to buy one soon. I recommend it

I've post my experience with watching 3D movies using VRTube on another post + pics perhaps you've seen it. Also, Sony's image enhancements works with VRTube which is great, too bad Sony sound effects do not, i suggest using viper4android for sound enhancements. Also VRTube is pitch black around the screen so it'll be perfect for you. I use sony's bluetooth headphones for a complete wireless experience. I can tell you that the picture is superb, no screen door effect from pixels. I use the colorcross headset since that works best for movies imo. I haven't found a headset with a clearer lens than colorcross although i stop buying headsets a year ago since I've wasted so much money on them, (trial and error).
I've been watching 3D movies on mobile for about 2 years now using this setup, the previous phone i had was the LG G3 (2k screen) which wasn't bad but still has the screen door effect. After upgrading to xz5p my vr experience got better so yes i'd say it was worth it.
I forgot to mention i use a bluetooth remote with a mouse cursor mode, you can get one for cheap on Amazon unless you want to keep taking out your phone to make adjustments.

Have you used the Bobovr Z4? I've read that a lot of people like that unit. The VRTube app you're speaking of is the one by IdeaMatters (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideamats.vrtubefull)? The one that looks like it still has Gingerbread interface?
You can get through an entire move no problem without it overheating or anything like that? What do you look for resolution-wise when you're sourcing your movies to watch? Sorry for so many questions, I'm completely clueless when it comes to VR.

Yea that's the one. The phone gets warm no overheating, I lose about 20%/h watching movies, All the movies i have are all BlueRay quality in its highest resolution, The movie file can take up 10-20gb each..

That doesn't say much. So I'm guessing you're sourcing BluRay 4K rips at 3840x2160, ya? So I'm just trying to educate myself, but that would mean when you watch it in your VR headset you're effectively getting 1920x1080 to each eye and watching the film in FHD?

No the full video resolution is usually 1920x1080p so each eye would be getting 960 x 1080

But I'm guessing that's still plenty clear and enjoyable due to the lack of SDE?

Yup.

So I just got my Z5P yesterday, but first time playing with it tonight. Do I need to force 4k through ADB or anything like that to get the best VR experience?

No. Android automatically plays back video (anything using SurfaceView which is just a buffered view) at full resolution.

If that's the case, than what's going on here (2k vs 4k resolution)? Am I able to make the VR screen larger but in essence the video played within it is the same resolution for both?

Then it'll better be 4k Blu-ray video with 20 more gigabytes
And the device will get slower during the time (it says cannot play video) you need to restart
