Hands-on with the ugly Apple iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case
There's no question the design of the Apple iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case is bad, but how does it perform? Unfortunately, that's also poor when compared to ...
because of the cancer comment.. I mean I like dark humor but that was just to much.
Burning Fireplace Ugly Christmas Sweater (w/ an iPad)
Digital Dudz- Holiday Edition is pretty much your key to Ugly Christmas Sweater party domination... just sayin. Search the app store for "Digital Dudz" or use this ...
My husband needed an ugly sweater and a friend told us about DigitalDudz.
We used my ipad, so we found a larger fireplace to use the entire ipad
screen. I added some decorations and bells. He wore it to his work holiday
party and unbelievably, he got third place in the ugly sweater contest. He
definitely got the most attention, especially with the jokes about heart
burn. (Can't seem to leave a link to the photo. I'll find another way...)
Any chance the app could be made so that the 'X' which allows you to exit
out of the fireplace video, will fade away after 10 seconds or so? It could
appear again when you tap on the screen. The problem right now is that if I
choose to use the full screen the 'X' is visible over the flames and kind
of breaks the realism.
Mark, appreciate the work you did on this project and the instructions were
great! I added a miniature Christmas tree and LED lights that I found at a
big box store. Still a work in progress...ready to dominate the Christmas
Sweater party with a ridiculously awesome ugly sweater.
Dude my creativity has gone insane since ive been watching you and I tried
the Halloween thing and... amazing results from family, friends, etc.
please don't go and keep it up man!
Mark!! I stumbled onto this via geekologie and almost fell off my chair
when I realized it was you! (your old Canadian friend from highschool).
Amazing idea, love the video.
And I was actually invited to an ugly christmas sweater party lol!!! Mark
you rock!!! tell Arturo he better watch out as you are racing ahead!!
please take care, vera
Not selling anything this time. I'll be posting a video in the next 24 hrs
on how to make it... need to go to work and actually get an hour or two of
sleep first :)
can i just say, when I saw your first video, which is one of your most
recent. I thought you were Ben Affleck??? Sorry no offence, I think both
are pretty cool.
I give you guys my first impressions on the new Google Nexus 10 tablet manufactured by Samsung running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. We will go through the good, ...
I found a little bug in Android 4.2.. When you open the recent app manager, swipe out (close) a couple of apps and then change the orientation of the phone, all the apps are back on the list.. Check it out guys.. I don't know if this is a known issue or if it is specific to android 4.2.. Thanks +Armando Ferreira
why do you wanna compare it with ipad when you cannot run andoird on ipad? And the other way around. ipad is a really nice piece of hardware with a very crappy and boring os.
Hey Armando!! I think you have a defective nexus, i have the same problem, so google changed my nexus for a new one, its because the nexus box fall or it has been punched or something, by the way you are a great reviewer, hope y upload more videos constantly. Sorry for my inglish, i speak more spanish.
+Elias Lugo Depending on what your needs are it can go either way. Not having a keyboard dock can be a deal breaker to some and until the N10 comes out with one (if any) It's a tough call.
Like your videos.... I have a htc one x from at&t and I'm going to get it rooted.. I'm looking for video how to use titanium backup and super user, and installing roms. I have found some videos here and there, it's just that I have noticed most of the videos are to fast to follow and it seems somethings are left out..Please make a video about this.. I like the way you explain things... Thanks
+Jamaar DeBoise I have to disagree with you. The iPad is not a good laptop replacement. Its a good netbook replacement if all you need it for is media consumption but it lacks the hardware needed to be a true laptop replacement.
+Pedro Tentugal if you are looking for a productivity tablet then iPad. If your looking for media consumption nothing beats a N7. I wouldn't do a N10 due to lack of optimized apps for 10inch android devices.
I had the same issue with the back cover feeling "cheap" and not firmly on with my Galaxy Nexus. I got over it though. Not that big of a deal. I have a case on most of the time anyway. I'm constantly watching the Nexus 4 on the T-Mobile site waiting for a sale or till it's free with an upgrade like they did my old MyTouch 4G when it was damn new. Haha
I also have the question about n7 vs n10 since I'm a mix between being home and on the go. I was really inclined with n10 since I usually use a backpack with my laptop. I also have the s2 which gives me portability already. What do you guys think?
+John Cheatdom no problem, if you want a device that's great for Web consumption the Nexus 7 with its power and form factor can't be beat. If your looking for a laptop replacement then the Apple iPad is for you. Apple's app market for 10inch tablets far outshines Android currently. But nothing beats the play stores plethora of utility apps and Web consumption apps. Glad we could help you.
+John Cheatdom Youre welcome! Yeah it sounds like a 7 inch tablet would suit your needs more...especially with 4.2 out now, it makes everything even easier...tethering works flawless with it too, not sure about the Surface.
+Brian Utne +Jamaar DeBoise thanks for replying guys. I am always on the go so that's why I thought the N7 would suit me fine but I was seriously seduced by Armandos Surface review :-)) However the N7 will suit my needs to the tee and I'd hate to shell out for both and then end up not even using the 10inch device like Jamaar said.
I have an iPad for my 10inch device. But ever since I brought a nexus 7 its been my daily driver. I don't even use my iPad anymore. The form factor just can't be beat for comfort and ease of use.
+John Cheatdom I have both size tablets...I can honestly say that I use my n7 more due to its size and ease of portability. If you're at home all the time, a 10 inch tablet is golden....if you're out and on the run and you want something that'll fit in your pocket, i'd recommend the n7..That's just my personal preference though ;)
+Armando Ferreira Love your vids and reviews. Just a general question about tablets if that's cool. I was planning on purchasing a Nexus 7 at the end of this month however after your review of the Microsoft Surface I've started thinking that maybe I should invest in that as well. My question is basically, in your opinion, can you see the logic in owning a 10inch and a 7inch tablet and besides the screen size is there that much difference between the two that you'd need both? Thanks
I like the nexus 10 and all, but I'm good with a nexus 7. The seven inch form factor is perfect for me. When are the nexus 7 sequel rumors going to start?
+Ard van Breemen The volume button is an issue, specially when you compare it to all of the other tablets out there INCLUDING the Nexus 7 which follows the traditional method of being on the right and Up is up and down is down. How is it that the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 work differently? If your trying to build a premium brand lineup these little things cannot be overlooked. This is where Apple does a great job to keep everything consistent and allowing the customer to have a great user experience.It's annoying that on My Nexus 7 I have to remember the volume is one way and then on my Nexus 10 it's the opposite. I could understand if it were a different tablet but this is the Nexus lineup.I don't have a problem with a tablet or phone being made of plastic, even in my review I said I was impressed by it. However, the build quality is a different story. That's like me saying a plastic cup feels good in the hands, and the material made is awesome. However, it's still feels disposable and that's how the Nexus 10 feels to me.
Hmmm, I really don't understand the volume button issue. The button on the left side is to lower, the button on the right side is to increase the volume, or better: the counter-clock-wise is lower, the clock-wise is up. I've seen volume buttons on the left side (HTC, samsung), and on the top (rockchip based tablet). Then again, it is android, so if a developer is as annoyed as you are, you get the keys how you want them ;-).About that plastic, as people seem to be very confused today: good plastic is much more expensive than aluminum. Especially if it is carbon fibre based. So I am more impressed if something is made of plastics tham aluminum, especially if the plastic is very good (like those used in the samsung galaxy lines).I also noticed that plastic behaves different than we expect. We expect strong things to be very sturdy. Guess again, but you can make hollow carbon fibre based frameworks that are much more sturdy than some metals. Elasticity is also a kind of strength, that most metals don't have, because they usually end up in fatigue.So depending on the framework (interior or exterior), the back cover should be sturdy to give strength, or elastic just to give protection to the circuits.In any case it should not make poppy noises :-).If my bike (glass fibre based aerodynamic trike) makes poppy noises (you can really push into it, it's not sturdy, but sturdy enough to be a monocoque), I cringe.On the other hand: nice review. If the camera in the ipad2 is as good as the one in the nexus 10, it explains why I sometimes see people taking the ipad2 with them to make photographs...
My nexus 4 is defective as well it doesen't charge. If somebady has this problem let me know. First charge was ok afterwards nothing! Hope i can send it back tomorrow
+Armando Ferreira I totally agree with you on the lag called by the display. I don't think Android is well optimized for HD tablet displays. Case and point the Transformer Infinity had the best display until the N10 came out and many apps run poorly. I do believe this is software issue though. I'm running a custom ROM that has drastically improved performance.
I've seen you do some great reviews +Armando Ferreira and I'm really taking them into consideration for when I purchase my own tablet. What I'd and I'm sure several others would like to see would be a review on one of those cheep like $79 tablets you find on sites like Walmart or in the store at Hastings because there's several people who can't even really afford the $200 tablets but would love to have an affordable one with Android 4.0
Interesting...... Maybe I will get the 3G Nexus 10 in the future.But now, I'm really appreciate of my Nexus 7 : )BTW, can the volume button issue be solved by updating software ?
+Dino Rodriguez I will recommend the Nexus 7, because imo it has the perfect size, holding in one hand! O:-) I don't have the 10" Nexus, but I have a 10,1" Samsung tablet, and I never use it anymore since I got my precious 7". :-D It's a truly awesome tablet which I will highly recommend..
I have a theory about the front camera placement, and it is only a theory not having used one. When you are using the tablet in portrait mode, most people turn their device anti clockwise. As most people are right handed so naturally hold it with their left hand, i think it was placed to the right (or up if portrait) so you thumb doesn't cover the camera if your on say, a hangout. Just my two cents.
Excellent review. Your criticism was very informative (unlike some other reviews). Looking forward to your upcoming comparisons. Keep up the great work!
I have decided to pass on the Nexus 10. It is good tablet but I feel more Android apps needs to be optimised for the tablet's screen. I still can't decide between the Nexus 10, Mircosoft Surface or the iPad still.
Thanks guys, I've been getting messages and it seems that it's 50/50 on the squeaky back, some people have it some don't. Can it be a batch that is defective? I will be contacting #google about this and see if the new tablet I get does this. In the meantime I'm loving this thing and I can honestly say it's the best Android tablet available.
For those who want better/different auto brightness: Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vito.lux (I use it on my SGS3 like one of the essential apps as I like a bit brighter screen too. There is also a free version of this app.) +Armando Ferreira
Great review! I like your reviews because you don't just say all the stuff I already know (like 2560x1600 display, android 4.2 etc) but you actually tell everything about it, even if you like the noise! :D
That noise in the back is probably because the back is somewhat thin, and doesn't press up directly against whatever's inside (ie. battery). It receives the most flex at that point. If they placed a piece of dense foam inside at the middle point to reinforce it, I bet it wouldn't be an issue anymore.
Samsung should improve the volume buttons issue. I own an Acer tablet running Android and no matter how you hold the tablet the up button increases the volume and viceversa.. Flip it 180 degrees and the tablet knows where is the new Up and down... Samsung you can definitely do something similar. However I do wanna own this device.. Samsung/Google take my money
+Armando Ferreira I guess as you thought its a defective device, I had the crackling left panel of my n7 display and google replaced it for me, they should replace your device as well. Very nice review by the way. Thank you!
After watching the review, I tried to press the hell out of mine and mine is not making that noise. There is some slight give but nothing like what you are experiencing. Still, great review
Just read May have defective unit ohhhhhh shit son!
How to Get Rid of the NavBar (Softkeys) on Your Android Device!
Hey guys! Today, I'm going to bring you a tutorial that most of you are probably going to really enjoy. So you have your Android device (tablet or smartphone, ...
+FrEaKeD 0uT Yeah, the play store guys removed it from the store. BUT here I have got the .apk linkUltimate Dynamic Navbar Lite APK (613k) - Download Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Lite 23.2 APK for Android
+Jose A Rodriguez That's understandable; but if you do it properly - you know, follow a good video - then it really is a simple process. Not incredibly dangerous, depending on what you do.
BTW - While stock Android KitKat is alright; I HIGHLY recommend getting a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod. Honestly, it's amazing and the customization options that it offers is outstanding. Like what I just showed you; it has feature BUILT-IN that allows you to fully hide the Navbar and Status Bar.Look into it when you get the chance.
The Main App of this video - "PieControl" doesn't need root; but it needs the permissions that root offers for the "Back" key functionality. Other than that, PieControl doesn't need root.UDN (Ultimate Dynamic Navbar) however; DOES NEED ROOT. You can't use the app to hide your default navbar if you don't have root.
I stopped checking android central's top apps because they were getting
baaad, I think ill follow yours now lol. Very nice selection, not come
across any of those myself
The Ugly Truth About Apple's IPAD 2. Android Wins!
If you bought an IPAD 2 you overpaid by at least $200. Don't be fooled into buying the IPAD 3. Apple doesn't build upgradeable products. You WILL be left with a ...
The wifi only version of the iPad2 is only 299.00ya douche. What's up now I
can do the same shit. And it can teat her. To an android phone just like
yours... What a douche! This ain't no joke. Pretty damn funny. I can RDP
into BoTH of my PSs. And by the way what's that I'm connect to my 4g baby
on top of the world. And just so ya know mocha make all kind of RDP & vnc.
I like how your program froze...only on android. Everything you just got
done showing us ,I've been doing since I got this ipad2
man you got a point but there is something really tiny you forgot about...i
can write whatever specs i want on my device e.g chinese pads for 10 bucks
and having 32 gigs of storage with huge ram and processors but just for the
record i just gave away my galaxy tab for an ipad and that is for simply
the ipad battery lasts for 10 hours working and 1 month standby !! while
this shitty samsung tab lasted only for 2 hours max..another thing apple
apps looks much prettier than shitty android apps.
@mrslavik86 and for someone who owns both deices you don't seem to know a
lot about android: -apps are shared between both appstore and playstore
-thanks to android (unlike apple) being an open source project, you can
pretty much connect and do anything within the specification limits which
means there are undoubtedly more accesorys for android than there are grey
matter cells in your thick skull, why don't you leave the trolling to
someone who knows how to count to ten okay? Yeah, back down.
ROM & kernel just run the shit. You still don't get it. With the iphone you
can tether to the ipad a well. You don't have the world most advance
operation mobile system. Your tab cant play music to a wireless airpot
express turning your touch screen in to a wireless stereo throw out your
house. Apps can play to the airport express as well. You get so much free
value with the ipad. Android is for the poor man that cant let go of open
source. apple is closed for safety and reliability.
@TheJasperkitty By better, I meant more efficient, better looking and or
easier to use. Twas just an example. "PC tablets"? Oh great, another "Mac
vs. PC" war. Android tablets can do all, if not, then most things iOS can
do. One simply needs to write the application. Android tablets (Not the
shitty $100 Chinese ones) are very capable and can do things most people
want. I think the iPad sells because it was there "first" and aesthetics,
not because Android can't do "this or that".
I like how smart you Think you are, I'm not a Hater cos' I love Android,
Great phones, great Tablet's, But some people Just like Thing's about the
IPad, I love my IPad 2, But of course there are thing's I hate about It,
But it's the same as Android tablets, Thing's you love, Thing's you Hate,
When I'm just relaxing at Home I use my IPad 2 Becuase it's simply and fast
for The Internet, When I'm out At work I have My Xoom. All people are
Diffrent Obviously.
What's up Brian? That was a tight video, keep them coming you are
definitely making the case and point. I see you picked up some haters but
its all good. You have definitely tricked out your GTAb. What ROM are you
running? Where did you get the wallpaper and are custom bootanimation-ing
it too? Be a little clearer about the programs you are running on Gtab and
your tweaks. Peace and keep ballin! I'll be waiting for you to drop your
next video.
@brianhenderson76 there isnt a single android device that is guaranteed an
upgrade. do you know how many phones were promised upgrades and never got
them? you will have honeycomb when/if you get it. dollar for dollar? you
dont have proper apps, you dont have dualcore, and so on. sorry but its
alright if you enjoy it, but dont diss the ipad because proper app support
is worth a lot to people. plus do i have to say it again... 2.2 what a fail
YOU ARE A COMPLETE MORON!! YOU HAVE NOT USED THE iPAD 2 AND YOU ARE BASHING
IT!!!! THE iPAD 2 WIFI ONLY 16 GB MODEL COSTS APPLE $333 TO MAKE AND IS
SOLD FOR $499. THATS LESS THAN $200 PROFIT OFF AN OUTSTANDING TABLET. I OWN
THE iPAD 2 AND LOVE IT WAY BETTER THAN THE SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 THAT I
HAD. SO PLEASE, HAVE OPINIONS, BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, DO
SOME RESEARCH AND DON'T BE BIASED OVER THE ONE TABLET THAT YOU OWN.
Its so funny that my guy hear is stating the truth about IPAD, THEY
SUCK!!!. Although Android is a Lunix based program, there is no and I mean
NO other tab that is running the same Prosessor as Xoom and Balckberries
Playbook. The joke is on you, the Morons who bought the IPADS. Now your
looking for excusses, tell ya what; take your tablet and toss threw the
window of whoever sold it to you. Its all you have left HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
I love android, almost got a droid tablet, but instead got an iPad 2. Never
had a problem with it. I will admit there are many things that i would like
to see in the iPad 2 that I have on my droid phone. However I know that I'm
buying a product will work. Apple actually do their research, if they
hadn't you wouldnt have multi touch. Remember who is the one who leads the
computer industry: Apple. BTW RDP is great on the ipad :3
Ipad offers way more. Itunes, app store, wireless music streaming on
airport express. Comes with the best costumer service. Long lasting sexy
design. Its hot! Many IOS updated the keep consumers happy. Android tabs
only get a few updates then they drop the product on to the next. Apple is
also a billion dollar corp worth more than Microsoft. Android is cool, but
not smart. iPhone users have more sex also lol.
@brianhenderson76 According to an estimate from Deutsche Bank Motorola has
only sold 100,000 Xooms thus far... For some context, Apple sold over 20
million at this point... and motorola stop selling that was it apple is
going to go on for at least 40 million... all the other tablets are selling
the same as the motorola.. ALL tablets together cant make the sales of the
iPad sorry look it up...
Ok then your the smart one and all of us MILLIONS that have ipads are
stupid... Did you ever stop to think that maybe there's a reason that most
people prefer the ipad? More apps better apps and its not as complicated as
android.. Tablets where not created to replace laptops.. There for browsing
the web watching videos pics and playing games that's it..
@Brianexe43 ... not really. I have owned and operated many Android based
tablets. The Viewsonic G-Tablet is far from perfect. I still believe this
is the most customizable and hackable one on the market. We WILL have
honeycomb at some point. For the money I paid ,$265 use, it is a tremendous
value. Dollar for Dollar the OG Tablet beats out the IPAD!
Crappy products, Crappy interface, Bad battery life and of course you pay
less, when you are copying from a OS that took years of research and
development. But hey, if you want to settle for a plastic device that does
lots of things half as good for half the price... btw where is the iPad
your comparing it with. What a waste of time.
@sabrefan173 You are a jackwagon. The g tab has a camera. Microsd optional
on the ipad2...I never mentioned the optional g tab dock because it wasn't
included. Stop drinking the apple koolaid and get yourself a g tab. Sell
the Ipad and buy your mother something sweet for mother's day.
AND AS FOR FREE PERSONAL HOTSPOT, AT LEAST I'M NOT GOING TO GO TO DO
SOMETHING ILLEGAL JUST TO BE AN ASS AND PROVE A POINT ON YOUTUBE LIKE IN
IDIOIC FANBOY, I'M GOING TO PAY FOR IT JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. SO WHILE
YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL, I'LL BE WATCHING FROM MY LEGAL 3G CONNECTION.
@showerladdy Yes, the gtab is for a poor man like me. But you know what, it
hurts a heck of a lot less if something happens to my gtab or when it
becomes outdated. With the fast pace that technology is moving, I don't
want to spend anymore than $300 on something like a tablet.
@TheJasperki Number of devices sold says nothing about the software. If you
had some OS that was better than either IOS or Android, but only sold 1,000
devices with "that OS" installed, it doesn't mean it sucks (The OS), it
just didn't sell well. Marketing is a tricky game.
U retard the ipad 2 doesnt have flash but u tube works on the ipad 2 u dont
need flash!!! U can watch it on safary or on the youtube app!!! And why you
want flash?? For those stupid ads that are on websites??? Btw im watching
your stupid video from my ipad 2!!
@oliverumy Wait a minute. Android has overtaken Apple. Look at the latest
sales data. I don't hate Apple. I just like the control Android gives me.
Don't catch feelings because I can do MORE with less. I am smarter than you
are. We can at least agree on that!
@ps31871 lol!!!!!!!boring? Dude youre talking about android, not the
freaking square os called ios.... All it has is freaking squares!!! How is
that interesting? And we need flash! Youtube is 50% flash based.... You
cant watch half of em!
The iPad holds it values much than better than your Viewsonic. I would
argue owning an iPad is cheaper than your tablet. A $500 iPad 2 is still
worth over $400 9 months later. Your Viewsonic has no market, therefore
minimal resale value.
@showerladdy I clearly state I am using a custom ROM & kernel in every
video. The stock out of the box GTAB sucks. The fact we can change that is
what makes this a better tablet. Your ipad will never change. I feel sad
for you.
@brianhenderson76 lol sure they did for all the poor people. They are still
a billion dollar corp with more options then any other company. Think of
all the goo and shitty phones Android has. Its not a race with the OS.
Nice video. But who the fuck will carry a phone and tablet like a freaking
retard? If you are a bum you can buy an iPhone4s. If you want something
more powerfull, better looking and more advanced - get a galaxy note.
@brianhenderson76 Well it's true... You sound like you know what you're
talking about. even though it sounds like you're going insane, Which you
must be to say Android is better, Trust me, It will never be.
I can do all that with my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 (jail broken no paying
Verizon) and had a android tab it sucked and I use "log me in" to use my
Mac on iPad and iPhone and iPad jail broken can run android apps
dude the only problem with what you said is the the viewsonic is complete
utter crap. you running froyo fanboy!! at least try to fight apple with the
Eee pad transformer that is the best android tablet

If you can't find or download the 3DR Solo app to your device because it has not been tested and approved by 3DR yet you can use this workaround to do it.
