2011-01-15
hey everyone Daniel Webster here from pakka calm and this is a software tour of the sprint EVO shift 4g on sprint's wimax network so let's get started so this device is running HTC Sense user interface a top of Android 2.2 so you do get all that flash enabled web browsing all the other great features of android 2.2 we go into the applications here we have adobe reader amazon mp3 app sharing which allows you to share your applications with your friends or colleagues or whoever we have our calculator our calendar our call history we have our camcorder and our camera the camera has some pretty cool features which is which is pretty different from other cameras we go into the menu over here we can change the brightness and exposure we can change the image property so it's a contrast saturation sharpness we can add certain effects and we can also change the settings so you can just go back into the applications we have car panel which allows you to use your device if you're driving of course you should probably stop and change some of these settings before you continue on driving anything else I make calls through a bluetooth connection or wired headset so we can just go back Oh actually have to menu an exit go back to the applications we have a clock which is standard on most HTC and android devices so you can use a night time clock and this one also has a timer and a stopwatch so you can go back we can view the desk clock which turns your evo shift into a sort of a desk clock of course and we can also change some of the settings down here goes back into the clock features so we go to Facebook and we've all seen that this device actually has the flashlight application enable on it so if I click on here I can turn the flashlight on and as you can see the LED turns into a flashlight which is pretty cool there's three separate brightness levels and you can also change some settings on here get auto flash and SOS we just go back we have an FM radio unfortunately this device does not have headsets included so you will need to either push your own head set or use one from a previous phone or of course we know is you just use some headphones and we can just fool we have footprints with / to geotag of various photos that you take so if i go here i can create a new footprint and if I like I can just snap a picture and then it will locate my GPS settings and apply that to the photo so I can share that with other people we have french stream which allows you to update multiple statuses on facebook twitter and other social networks I don't have it set up right now we have the gallery so it can view some photos here and it's a little bit different on a default Android luckily HTC has incorporated their sense user interface on this application as well so it does make it pretty neat because you get the reflection on the bottom and some of the other settings we have gmail we have google search we have HTC mobile guide which is pretty much just a favorites that launches the internet browser we have internet we have Amazon Kindle which allows you to read books on your Android vice we have google latitude we have any other mail service we want we have google maps the market messaging music which is pretty neat because HTC has also incorporated their sense user interface into this so we do get these neat album art transitions from one album to the next most carriers these days put a lot of their own applications onto the phone luckily sprint hasn't done that too much they put some of the sprint NASCAR stuff so you can view all the NASCAR ratings and all the other great stuff about NASCAR so we'll just wait for this load and give you this little blurb about Jamie McMurray so we can just go back we have the navigation app for Android we have the news news and weather we have peep which is a Twitter application so we can tweet directly from our device it'll have that set up yet we have people which is our contact list so we can view all of our contacts so we have places which is tied into google map so i can view all these restaurants coffee shops bars and all these other businesses in my proximity so i can the full version of quick office is included unfortunately don't have anything installed on the SD are because this is a brand new device I can search for people so this way I can quickly search through all my contacts if I have hundreds of contacts on here i have settings i have set up a sprint football live so i can go here and view all my sports teams information and all the other information around the in-country sprint hotspot which allows you to turn your 4g and 3g enabled connection into a hotspot so you can use it on your computer or any other other smartphone or device like an iPad or iPod or anything like that we have sprint TV which is paid for service so I can watch something live let's say that I just want to watch something quick and easy go to Hollywood Hills here and the video quality is really poor alike even on a 4G connection right here and as you can see it's not very clear at all so I can just go back if sprint zone which is pretty much just an advertising application that shows you all the great deals that sprint has going on at the time we can view our stocks go to Google Talk play Teeter TeleNav GPS which is a paid for navigation program that sprint has put on this device we have our videos if you have any video statement on the storage card voice dialer voice recorder voice search voicemail so this allows you to set your voicemail really easily get weather information and YouTube so I'm going to test the speed of the 4G connection that I have going on right now and it's not the best service the application said it was fair so I'm going to hit begin test and wait for it to load so the speeds are somewhat adequate not the best speeds that you can have an afforded connection of course I am inside and wimax doesn't work that great through walls so you probably will get better service if you're in a car or even outside or even you're a window i'm not really near anything right now so this is in the software tour of the sprint EVO shift 4g on sprint wimax network if you like our videos make sure you guys a thumbs up and also use comments down below we like to hear you're saying and in case you missed it you can check
