[Android General] dragontology:
Defects? Oh, you mean try to shoot video on my phone and watch it epically fail? Haha, I can do that.

Trying to think of what apps we have in common. Facebook is out, I don't want to share personal information. Google Play perhaps. Gmail is out for the same reason as Facebook, but it would have been a good example.

Boot time is a definite. I know Gingerblur takes its sweet ass time booting up. I can be showing off stock ICS launcher (well, Trebuchet) features like folders (I think it does folders? I use Nova) and CM features like the quick access notifications and then be like "Oh look who decided to join the party".

My battery is charging, her battery is charging. Not sure when I'm gonna get time to do the video, but I'm hoping sometime tonight, then it'll upload while I sleep. I'll try to get the link posted here before I leave for work tomorrow, and y'all can run with it if you think it's good. If not, give me input -- be brutal, be honest -- and I'll redo it when I can.

I'm just thinking of how I'm gonna rig the camera. I'm smartphone ambidextrous -- I can do anything with either finger, including type/Swype, so I'll have one in each hand. GB on the left, ICS on the right, nice and simple. And I have a tripod (dollar store special, but hey, it works). Maybe if I push my monitor back, and move my keyboard, I can set the tripod up at the edge of the desk and reach around it with both hands...

//edit: Okay guys I have good news and bad news... The video is done. That's the good news. You want the better news? ICS f***ing spanked GB. It was a slaughter. I gave up trying to turn them on at the same time. I pressed and held the power button the GB Electrify until the Dual Core logo came up, then did the same thing on the ICS one. They both have the same boot animation (I'm actually using CannonROM, no need to mention that little detail) but the GB one has a second boot animation that spams a US Cellular logo. Anyway, I held that against it. While the GB phone was still booting, I was showing off the ICS desktop. I showed the Android version. Around this time, GB came up. It was a f***ing embarrassment. Major pie will be wiped off some faces at Moto. Now for the bad news. The video sucks. I'm going to upload it on YouTube but make it unlisted. I'll post the link here. Please don't pass it around. I know it sucks. Don't tell me it sucks, tell me where it needs fixing. I know I ramble and stammer, not much I can do about that. Keep it short and sweet? I know that. Tell me what needs to be cut. Tell me what I shouldn't have said. Also, it's a little blurry. Not much I can do about that. My camera is s*** for focusing. It's not a nice one, not when it comes to video at least. But it's the best I got and I think it gets the job done okay. Also, it's 1.8GB uncompressed, I'm compressing it some (still 720p) to upload to YouTube. I'll start the upload, and I gotta be up in 7 hours to get to work. I'll get up early, start the upload, and I think I can get you the URL while it's uploading. My DSL sucks, so it will probably take a few hours. Not joking. 1.5MBit DSL, downstream, I think it's 500-700kBit up. When I said near the end that Motorola wants everyone to move to Verizon, I wish Verizon would put some towers up here... I wasn't joking, or dissing Verizon. IF you do the "can you hear me now" thing Verizon used to ask, locals will actually say "You don't have US Cellular, do you?". It's just assumed that if you have cell service in rural Eastern Carolina, you have US Cellular. Verizon might work in Greenville, maybe Washington, but the small towns? Out past 'em in the cornfields? Forget about it. US Cellular has 9 towers my phone can pick up from my home. The place I live in is old, has lead paint, can't get service inside, but step outside -- five bars. -79dBm if you prefer text to bars. So I don't take kindly, at all, to Motorola's "forward thinking" that we should all just switch to Verizon. Just like I don't take kindly to the notion that ICS performs below expectation. You all know it's good, but maybe you don't know exactly how much better. If nothing else, my video will show you just how much better ICS is on our phones. And maybe, once this video is done, and we all agree it's at least decent, more people, who don't know XDA, and who don't ordinarily root, let alone unlock their phones, will look at it and say, gee, why can't my phone be that good? That's what I hope to accomplish. Sorry for the rant...

//edit 2: Wow, that worked out better than I thought. Here's the video. YouTube says it will be uploaded in 10 minutes, from 05:25 Eastern Standard Time. Oh, what am I saying? You guys sleep at night. By the time y'all get up, you'll be able to watch it. I know that Atrix leak might prove fruitful for us to get a fully working ICS or even JB on our phones, but I still want to disprove Motorola's lie. But give me some feedback, let's improve this thing some before we use it.
