This has probably been asked many times so I am just piling on, but is there an easy way to transfer text messages between phones? I recently switched from a Samsung Galaxy to a Motorola ThinkPhone (roughly the same specs as an S22 Ultra). Both Android OS but different manufacturers. I have done...

I turned on my PC just now and a little message popped up (Windows 11) in the lower right corner of my screen saying a storage drive requires my attention. I clicked the message and this came up: This is the storage drive in my main gaming rig. I had to go through my Amazon order history to...

I game at 1440p and currently have a 5900X paired with an RX 6700 XT. I have been thinking recently of upgrading to an RX 7900 XT (not the XTX). 1) are the 6700 XT and the 7900 XT far enough apart to make an upgrade worth it? 2) would my 5900X bottleneck the 7900 XT? (I googled and found mixed...

I am on T-Mobile and have a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra that I bought, new and unlocked, from Swappa back in December. Recently, the camera and bottom speaker stopped working. Since it's only seven months old and still under warranty, I took it to an official Samsung repair shop nearby called...

I broke the screen on my Samsung Galaxy S21 FE. I ordered a new screen and changed it out myself. However, I think I damaged the battery when trying to remove it during disassembly of the broken phone. I got it all put back together with the new screen and it won't charge or power on. The...

A couple years ago I built a new rig and bought a Windows 10 key and an Office 2019 key from a user here. I won't say who just yet. Over the past five or so years I have purchased three or four keys from him; none of them with issues and each deal was smooth. A couple of months ago I decided...

I just upgraded my gaming rig and the old parts got bumped down into the server. I am now selling the server's old CPU and GPU. These were never over-clocked and primarily used for gaming; these were not mined with. Heatware = crbrou82 at 49-0-0 All items are in working condition All items are...

I decided to upgrade my CPU from a 3900x to a 5900x. I have an ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Hero mobo. Last night I swapped the CPUs and then my computer didn't work. It took me a minute but I realized I need to update my BIOS. I humbly admit that in 23 years of building my own computers, I have...

Last time I RMA'd a card was back in 2019 before all the bullshit we are dealing with these days. Long story short - I was playing some BF2042 when my gaming rig crashed/shut off. It would turn back on but no video output to the monitor. I put my spare RX 590 in it and video output came back...

I am closing on my new house in about six weeks. Here are some items I would like to get rid of as I need some cash for moving and don't want to pack and move more than I need to. Heatware = crbrou82 at 49-0-0 All items are in working condition All items are available for pick-up in DFW I take...

I have been building my own gaming rigs for 20 years now and every single one (at least 15 this point) has worked as soon as I fired it up. I just put together a new 3900x rig tonight and I cannot get anything to display on the monitor...this is a first. 1) all cables are plugged in proper and...

Does anyone else around here play The Division 2? I am a little over 100 hours into it and it is constantly crashing; more so lately than when I first started playing. It crashes about every 20 minutes and it's starting to become unplayable. I have update my video drivers but even before and...

My 5-month old Radeon VII is artifacting now. I want to RMA it but when I got to Sapphires website, it says to handle returns through the seller. So I got to Amazon and pull up my order history to find the card and it says the return window has closed (it says it closed one month after...

I am putting Windows 10 on an older laptop; about six years old. When I bought this laptop (new) it came with Windows 8 and I immediately removed the slow HDD and installed and SSD and put Windows 7 on it. Recently, I formatted the SSD and am now trying to install Windows 10. Windows 10 did...

A few months ago I built a new gaming rig. I am now wanting to use my old gaming rig as an HTPC. It has an FX-8350, 16GB of DDR3 and an RX 580. What HDDs do you guys use for internal storage on HTPCs? As we all are, I am looking for lots of space and fast speeds. Should I get a Western Digital...

I just got a $100 Amazon gift card and have been wanting a Radeon VII but didn't particularly like the $699 price tag. With the gift card I only pay $599 out of pocket so I am going to pull the trigger. The catch is, it has to come from Amazon. I really want the MSI card since my mobo is MSI but...

I need a replacement antenna assembly for my SP4. I just destroyed mine trying to do a screen replacement. Anyone got one intact?

I just built a Ryzen 7 system (specs in sig) and want to boost it a little. I've never been much for OC'ing but would like to try it out on my new Ryzen system. I got my CPU to 4.2 GHz and my RAM to 3200 MHz and it's stable - at least according to the 3dMark Firestrike stress test (I got 99.9%)...

I just built a new Ryzen 7 rig (specs in sig) about a month ago and just today I installed Minecraft. That shit is unplayable. It is choppy, so much so that I can't even move half the time, and every block I hit, I have to hit it twice to actually break it because the blocks keep respawning...

I just built a new Ryzen system a couple weeks ago and I put a Radeon RX 580 in it. My complete specs are in my sig. I also got a brand new monitor a couple days ago. I was really wanting to use the DisplayPort but whenever I try to play a game, the DP stops working and my screen goes black...

I just build a new Ryzen 7 rig. My previous computer was 5 years old but my current monitor is about 8 years old. It's a Samsung SyncMaster T240HD. It's 24", 60hz and max resolution of 1920x1200. It's been a great monitor and still works just fine but I want to upgrade my monitor to take...

My current rig is five years old and that is the last time I built a new computer. I am thinking of a new build but have been out of touch for five years. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily gaming 2) What's your budget? Are tax and...

I can't seem to find one but are there any mobos out there that will run an FX-8350 and DDR4 3200 RAM? My current rig is pushing 5 years old. I recently started thinking about upgrading my video card but figured I wouldn't get the full benefit since my rig is so old. My RAM is DDR3 2133 and...

I'm not sure where to put this since it's not quite a laptop/PC and it's more than a tablet but does anyone have any recommendations for games that run well on a Microsoft Surface Pro 4? Are there any good games that run well on an SP4, particularly via touch-screen? I do also have a wireless...

https://www.playwwo.com/ I did a search and didn't find any threads about it around here. A buddy of mine that is big into MMORPGs showed it to me. I'm not much of an RPG player but I am interested in wild west games. I have played KoToR 1 & 2 (because I love Star Wars) and I have dabbled in...

A week ago, I fell at work and broke my knee. I am completely immobile for several weeks. I am already burned out on TV and today was able to get my laptop. Since I am stuck on the couch with my leg propped up, I need some new games to pass the time. I am willing to buy, so name anything that is...

Since the NES Classic release yesterday was a charlie foxtrot, I want to build an emulator. What all do I need and how do I got about getting all the games? I already have an HTPC with a dual-core processor, 4GB RAM, SSD and an HD video card. Will that work? Would I just need the emulator...

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 (not the Note and not the S7 Edge) and I just purchased several MP3 albums to put on it. I have put full albums on my phone before but my phone always plays all the music in alphabetical order by song title. What I am wanting to do is play the songs in order as the are...

...I don't want to pay a shit ton for it. I am half way through my current 2-year contract with Sprint. I am perfectly happy with Sprint so no, I'm not interested in changing carriers. My question is: is there a way to buy just the phone for cheap, activate it and keep on trucking? Back in the...

I just bought the Edimax EW-7811Un 150Mbps 11n USB wifi adapter for my HTPC (specs in sig). The thing is, it's super slow. I have 45Mbps Internet, the adapter is rated for up to 150Mbps and yet, after installing it, it is only running at 1.5Mbps. It's about 30 feet from my router but it has...

Specs are in sig. I have my HTPC hooked up to a 55" Vizio. When I stream video, even HD video, through my web browser, it runs just fine. However, when I watch a BR movie (actually on disc, I don't have my movies ripped and saved internally) the movie seems to stutter. It's very faint but...

I have been building my own computers for about 13 years but I am by no means an expert on this stuff. Every computer I have ever built has been a single-card rig so I may be venturing into new territory here. I was playing some BF4 this past weekend (first time in over 2 months) and noticed...

I am having this very frustraing glitch when I play Minecraft on my laptop. Everything works fine on my desktop. Specs for both are in my sig. I am trying to figure out if it is Minecraft, Win8 or my mouse, which is a wireless Logitech M510 for the laptop. When I try to use a tool/weapon...
