More Notes on the Helio

Started by enguyen · 7 months ago

So, I’m happy with my Helio Ocean (though, of course, this is often the case with sunk costs.) But there are a lot of nits. And, aside from the location-awareness of the Ocean, it doesn’t hold a candle to the iPhone.

  • I've enjoyed your Helio Ocean posts. I also found your comment on another site:

    I was wondering if there are easy ways to get Photos and Videos off of the Ocean via USB. It turns out that this is no problem if you set your camera to save to your external (i.e. MicroSD) memory. However, I didn't know this and took a lot of vids and photos last weekend to internal memory. Mass Storage mode doesn't seem to give me access to them. I can't email the videos, either, since I set them to higher resolution, and these cannot be attached to emails.

    I'm having the exact same problem. To make it worse, I just broke my Ocean's screen while camping. I need to send it in for a new one, but I'd like to get my 300+ pictures off of it first! Did you ever find a solution to this issue? I know that I can insert a microSD card and copy the pictures over to it one at a time, but this seems slightly impossible without a screen. Anyway, if you've got any ideas I'm all ears. Thanks!
  • I'm overseas and don't have access to my phone, right now, but there is a "check all" function in the albums view that lets you select a bunch of photos or videos to copy or move. Find another Ocean and use it as a reference so that you can duplicate the exact sequence of button presses on your Ocean with the dead screen.

    There may be a better way, but that's the best I've been able to do...
