Does YouTube app from GetJar work on EX124g? No.
by Ashlynn
I see on getjar.com that there's a free Youtube app, do you know if I can download the app & not have to do it the way you show in your review. Would I still have to download each video? That could get costly. About how much does it take to download 1 video?
Also, what's with the audio on the video recorder? When I replay on the phone, I couldn't hear anything even with the volume to the max & headphones on. I had to be really close to something or talk really loud to even hear a little audio. Is there a setting to adjust this because I can find one.

Hi Ashlynn,
Yes you can download the app from GetJar (I did). However, once it's installed and launched on the phone, it isn't actually able to play the videos.
When you click on a link to play a video, it says, "Not supported".
The YouTube app still relies on the phone's native abilities to display the videos. This was the reason for my using the Bolt Browser which was able to convert the videos as a workaround.
Video Recording Volume
The video recording volume does seem a little low on this phone. I compared the volume using the phone's camcorder versus using the voice recorder and I found the voice recording volume to be higher. I wondered if this was simply because the microphone is facing in somewhat the opposite direction of the camera lens. So I tried shooting a video while speaking into the microphone - providing a kind of voice-over narration, and the volume was still low. So, currently I don't know of a way to fix the volume.
I assume, of course that the microphone for the camcorder is on. Readers can check that by following the instructions below:
Camcorder Microphone
You have to go to the camcorder settings:
1. Turn on the phone camera
2. Click on the three bars on the lower right (held horizontally) to go into the setting.
3. Select video and select the check box on the upper right hand part of the screen.
4. Select the settings tab again and the right-facing arrow and scroll right on the settings until you get to Adv. Settings and select the checkbox again.
5. In the Advanced Settings, select the microphone icon and make sure the Record Audio setting is set to On.
6. Select the checkbox again to go back to Camcorder and start taking video.
Anyway, that's all I've got. Sorry I can't be of more help.
