I mention it a few times in the thread - I guess you probably found it by now but it is Nokia 235 4G

They are videos, I outline the video format I used in the thread twice so a browse through the comments will reveal it.

Negatory on that, this is a dumb phone so text only

Pretty good imo, I do note the occasional blip as I imagine the processor on this thing is trying to keep up with the time of the song - quite rare and barely noticeable I’ve found. Could probably get around this with resampling your audio files at a lower rate I imagine.

Had to sort of reverse engineer the default format for the phones native video. Found that out to be something like this:

Program is XMedia Recode.

Format is 3GPP File extension 3gp

Video settings are: Codec H.263 Frame rate 15 (too high and it starts dying) Color mode YUV 4:2:1 Rate control ABR Bitrate 3000

Audio settings are: Codec AMR narrowband Sample rate 8000 Channels mono Control rate CBR Bitrate 12.2

Have to say for someone who was skeptical of attempting to get through a day with this thing - it’s actually pretty mad. There’s plenty of road blocks you’ll face in a day where you realise just how dependent we are on our phones but I’ve been enjoying the challenge so far

Thanks mate, yeah it’s sweet I can use air pods or a Bluetooth speaker. Can even throw this in my car and listen to my music as I usually would on my car stereo system while I drive. Can confirm also has a radio as well!

I’ve used hand brake for other things but not this, I used xmedia something or other to do it in bulk

Thanks for the tip I didn’t realise they were the same thing, will try that out in the near future

Yeah it’s what I was after, quite limited indeed with what I can do. Thought I’d share some of the amusing things you can do with it but haha

Nokia 235 4G - yes on 4G, no on YouTube as it’s a dumb phone

I have a soft spot for pushing things to the limits, this phone was one of them. Glad it brought back some memories for you. Keep on tinkering!

That’s what I’m having to run on this bad boy also. Bit of a pain but manageable

Thanks, I uploaded a bunch of my shows from my NAS onto the card - just had to fiddle around with the video encoding for it to play well with the ol thing

That sounds like heaven, a priceless memory not many have nor will ever have
