I don't normally do this, and I usually hang out in the Evo forums, but this seemed like the most appropriate place. The hangout I usually frequent is hosting a contest where you post a photo to their wall, and the photo with the most likes gets a pair of tickets to Lollapalooza next month. I threw my picture up there and I'd love a few likes from all of you here. If I win, anyone in the area of MI or Chicago who likes the photo will be granted a beer on me
This is the site: http://www.facebook.com/crunchyseastlansing
All you have to do is like Crunchy's, then like my (DJ Sobish) photo... and that's it. You can even unlike Crunchy's when you're done. It takes two seconds, but it'd help me out a ton. I need all the help I can get
Thanks for the clicks! Maybe I'll see some of you in Chicago
This one can go ahead and be deleted.
Welp, once again I was instructed to post this here, so hopefully it's not a huge black mark on the forum is anyone seriously not interested in taking 15 seconds to help someone out?
I'll throw in a bonus - to anyone who likes the photo, one XDA liker gets, compliments of my business:
-your choice of case for whichever phone you'd like
-house or car charger for said phone
-screen protector for said phone
I didn't think it was that hard to throw a like at someone but apparently we can't do anything for fun here... So like the post, get free stuff, and everyone is happy.
I guess you have a lot of stuff to give away considereing your winning with 57 likes.

Hi all, yesterday I shot the video unboxing of latest Asus Nexus 7 32GB version.
If you are interested, here you are the link

In a few days I will post the full video review.
Let me know what do you think about it.

While I appreciate you taking the time in making a video, I really don't see the need or value in it.
There are already dozens (probably more) of Nexus 7 unboxings for the 8GB and 16GB models. The 32GB is identical in every way, outside of the internal flash chip. Nothing new to see.
Of course, you are right, there may be many others unboxing video about Nexus 7 in 16Gb and 8GB version.
Maybe someone hasn't seen them yet and wants to see directly the 32gb one.
Maybe I'm giving more technical specs than others, maybe not (did you see my video before this post?).
Maybe someone wants to know what version does this nexus come with?! Maybe not!
I shoot this video just for my pleasure (and I hope for someone else pleasure too!), at night ('cause I have a job and a family) and, most of all, without earining a single damn penny for it.
I'm sorry if I did bore you: next time maybe you can even just skip a thread like this if you are not interested!
Thanks
Too many unboxing videos and reviews also 32gb have nothing different specs wise except 16+gb. And yes there are 32gb reviews in YouTube already.

i watched it, and while we appreciate you doing the video its nothing new. maybe when u get that nexus 10 you should do another. unboxing videos are more for unreleased devices or devices everyone is waiting on and can't wait so watching youtube unboxing videos excites us. there isn't much to be excited about as most of us have nexus 7's already, in 8/16/32gb variants. but, thanks anyway
What's the difference of unboxing 32gb one from 16gb one other than the invisible on camera additional 16bg storage.
There's nothing new to see there sorry pal.

I tried to report as many technical specs as I could in the video. If you watched it, you can remember when I talked about the downclocked frequencies of the GPU. I haven't seen many videos having in deep review of technical aspects. Maybe someone could appreciate it, while someone else just doesn't care.
That's why I though that this unboxing could be interesting.
Anyway, no one is forcing you all from watching it if you don't care. I lost my sleep time for shooting these videos and it's not that nice reading some of you saying the video is useless without even watchin' it!

You seem to be missing the point. No one is attacking you for making the video. Everyone has been polite about the matter (except for you). What everyone is simply saying is, that there is no purpose in making an "unboxing" video for a product that was released 4 months ago. No one is going to watch it since everyone here already unboxed their own. The purpose of those types of videos is for when a product first comes out, so people who haven't picked theirs up yet, or are on the fence about buying one, can see what it's all about. And while your video might have some more technical information in it, most people on XDA are already well familiar with the specs and details. And the fact that it has 32GB is irrelevant. It's like making a duplicate car test drive video for a new model that has a different A/C filter in it.
Lastly, if all you wanted was positive feedback, you probably shouldn't have posted anything on the Internet in the first place.
"Useless" = every post in this thread except the OP.
OP: it's better to just ignore these comments and not respond. Thanks for the video.

Am I asking you for a positive feedback? Can you please point me where?
I'm open to any possible feedback, when the feedback it's a constructive one.
I don't think I've been unkind or unpolite in any ways. Instead, I do think it's unpolite and even unfair to judge someone else video without even watching it. As well as it's unpolite (and not only) to believe to be representative of a whole community. Do you think XDA is made up only of skilled people? Do you think the whole XDA members live in Us?
I do perfectly know what does an unboxing video means as well as I know Nexus 7 was announced in June and went on the market middle July in Us and Australia. But maybe you don't remember that not every country has Nexus 7 yet, or that maybe in some others it went on sale later (here in Italy nexus 7 @16GB started being sold on late September/ beginning of October, while Nexus 7 @32Gb will start at middle November).
Having these thoughts in my mind and considering that I tried to be as more technical as I can, I just though that this unboxing could be useful to someone, if not, I'm not forcing anyone in watching it.
Thanks for your constructive feedback anyway.

this, was the most useless. the OP asked "tell me what you think". so everyone did, in a pretty polite way. this thread should just be locked. its a 3-4 month old device. no one is dying for the device to be released or leaked photos, its been out. not to mention he already opened the device, took off the plastic, and just put it back in to make a video. should be called a nexus 7 review video, not a unboxing.

People who have issue with the video, why don't you guys just skip it. As per your logic there are several flavors of AOSP roms, and people should stick with only one and rest of the dev simply call it a day. If you guys cannot appreciate someone's work then don't criticize is either.

Ok so Christmas is sneaking up on me and I'm thinking of getting my son (almost 3) one of these cheap android tabs. I was thinking of the innotab or leap pad but for its price i feel an android tab would do so much more and would be something he wouldn't grow out of in 6 months time.
So does any one on here know any good child mode apps i could use if i get him one? I wouldn't want him destroying the tab by changing all the settings and buying apps and sending emails to people etc.
I'd like an app that would boot into kids mode upon start up and that would be easy for him to access basic things like games and camera and coloring apps etc etc..and ideally a function where i could monitor his usage and see his progress in games and drawing...
Please help
Ps: for the people that think I'm mad, i am. Don't judge me for giving him a tab. I won't get an expensive one and even if i did, it's my money so no criticism please!

You can't just use any one of the several "kiddy" launchers already in the market?
It took me 3 seconds to find this one with many more available.
Must resist urge to criticize!!.....
Can't help it!! Guy, he is barely three!!! Get him tonka truck or legos!! If he is anything like my three year old, he will have more fun with the box it came with then the tablet.

+1 Why can't people let kids grow up at a normal speed, rather than trying to magically make them become a geek by the time they're 5? Kids spend far too long staring at television as they grow up, give him something that will get his imagination working and get him outside in fresh air.
Yeah ive seen one i like the look of called kytephone. I found that one here on xda.
I was mainly after opinions on what people use for their child. And what they liked about it.
And although he's only 3 he's very clever like his daddy lol and it will hopefully stop him using my note.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Edit: this thread isn't going as i hoped. I will not stick him in front of the tv all day nor will he have access to this tab 24/7.
We do play outside, we do have fun that don't involve technology so what's the harm in him earning an hour or two tab time?
I'm after advice not criticism so can we get back on topic or shall i close the thread?
Thanks
You should probably get him something like this.

Cheap and has toddlers in mind with it's design.

I agree with the earlier thread.....
I just bought all 4 of my kids the nabi2. It is sporting tegra3 processor etc..... very rugged. $199. I even play games on it. Extremely easy to root. My oldest is 14. He even likes it. Mainly because he doesn't have to worry about breaking it.
It has nabi mode. In it you control content etc.... and "mommy mode" is just your basic ICS.
Check it out.
Thanks for the replies guys!
As for the haters, yes he will be in nursery, yes he will play out side, i don't lock him in his room and feed him through a hatch!
He's 3, he's clever and if he behaves he earns a reward which will be playing on the tab. It's my money, my child, my house and my rules.

There's already a thread for reviews which can be found here.
''Absolute power corrupts absolutely, but absolute powerlessness does the same''
It's an OK review but the dude just keeps saying how much he loves everything, it's starting to annoy me.
I stopped watching when the reviewer ask why did Google put quad-core in N4 when they only put dual-core A15 in N10.
This guy is an idiot.

so because he didnt know that much about android means its a bad unboxing? it was his first time using 4.2..

Yeah, every new phone gets a slew of threads about how horrible it is and all the defects. Check any forum!
A lot of them get the devices free.... If I got it for free, i'd be down for it
And the same threads posted over and 9ver when there are already multiple threads. And the root threads. No research done but I NEED my root and somebody to hold my hand while I try to root when there is no root. I should start a thread about text reflow which was deprecated with 4.4, I think, and how it doesn't work on note 9. They should make a tissue box section. And if you don't post correctly in other sections your thread gets moved to tissue box section.
