So, today Murphy's law took me by a surprise, not really, I got a warning...but i didn't pay attention to it...
I had just recorded 4-5 great tracks for later use, and i had automatic import on in windows with auto delete after, apparently, if i dont enter the phone manually and copy/paste the videos, the files won't work on the computer.
ah well, im working a recovery solution...hopefully that will plan out, if not, ill just have to make new videos tomorrow...
As with the device, it just keeps getting better as I get used to it...happier every day, and the desire to win it grows.
So Please to check out my tweets and comment on this video on youtube!
hey all!
So, it's dark outside, so I wanted to give this camera a challenge, a real one...
As it was almost impossible to see, I noticed some really cool treas, and turned on the nighttime settings on the camera.
This didn't go too well:
As you can see, or not...this is how it looks outside at this moment...with nightvision from the camera. For some reason the flash seemed to work perhaps only half of the pictures.
Now, i took some upclose pictures of a wall and snow with normal settings,now thats something quite different...
Take a look at that detail...amazing...
again, amazing 13MP details of snow up-close.
Anyway, I'm not saying this camera sucks in the dark, but for the first few pictures I was unable to take Good Pictures, so i need to play around with settings to make it work(if I can)
If you are considering buying this device, I still would recommend it, as it has some many aspects that are simply cool and amazing. The front 13MP camera is just one. The menus are superfast and it can run basically whatever you could want to run on a pad or phone!
I'll write more later on the nightvision on post some outcomes later...
if you forgot to check out the video, here it is again:
This is the first of many videoes to come during this months time. Be sure to comment on the blog or video.

Hope this give a good idea on the camera...This is the front camera on the pad, recording at 480p quality. Not bad for a pad. The front cam can take up to 5mp i think....
Battery is improving after draining og recharging a few times as with many other phones. I seem to have to charge every night, but that's just fine. I have used it moderately, mostly for data and wifi, and some games.
The pad seems to work great, i played Dead Trigger yesterday, and the game looked great on this pad comparing to others i have tried it on.
So far: 4 out of 6 for phone, mostly due to incompatible apps. (fit2screen, etc.)
and : 5 out of 6 for pad
Still waiting for final confirmation from Asus regarding the root, I will let you know=)
oh well, as the "everyday" user I am, life happens, so there are some delays in the testing and i'm also waiting a final confirmation from asus that i am allowed to do the push the code onto the device.
and im totally beat after reading updates on the android system. lots of things have changed since the last time I used android.
BUT, tomorrow I WILL no matter what start my Asus Padfone 2 Sessions and post the videos.
Hopefully this will inspire you too... ;)
So, Today I'm testing the camera and also some of the pre-installed Asus Software.
My general idea is to test as many aspects of the device as possible, and also try to provide some tips and tricks that can help you make the best of your device.
First in line of testing:
ASUS Sync:
Unable to sync contacts and calender, error message: Unable to import contacts from PIM. (phone internal memory)
ok, FAIL;) Suggestive tip: So far, none!
So, to camera: the 13 MP backside camera on the padfone2:
Quite amazing quality, I will put out some landscape pictures later as im going further up the valley later today to test the camera more.
Under is the 1mp camera, in the correct lighting this camera also works well, but you have to ensure that the surrounding light is appropriate.
I will write some more and post more later today after figuring out which apps are the sinners for the battery drain;)
