Hello everyone and anyone. I am totally new to this type of phone, and finally decided to " get into the now" and my fiance and I bought HTC Evos a couple weeks ago. We totally love it!!! But there are some issues I think we need the experts on. I will go one at a time. So my first question is...how the heck do I send a video I took on this phone through email, or even upload to YouTube or Facebook?? The file is about 35mb.:thinking:
 
So problem two is, I cannot seem to figure out how to transfer to my computer. I know, total amateur. LOL:(
Transfer it to your computer via usb, then do a file share thing. I don't think you can send it via email because it's too big a file.

Welcome to the Android Forums community! Glad you signed up! I hope you feel free to join the conversations! :D

No problem. With android, just several months ago, I was a total newbie too. If you don't ask questions, you'll never learn. It is an honor for me to assist you.

1) Find your usb cord.
2) connect the usb cord provided with your phone from the phone to your computer.
3) After you connect, pull down the notification menu on the top bar of your phone, where you'll see "usb connection", touch (select) it.
4) Select USB Mass Storage and hit OK.
5) You'll see a new drive on your computer, that's your phone.
6) Open up the file manager on your computer and find the directory that your movie is in on your phone, either on the SD card or your phone's memory. It's likely the former. HINT: Look in the media file, although I'm not sure.
7) Copy the movie to a directory on your compter. Voila!

Hope this helps.
