Does anyone know about this "Pocket Mode", or use it? It kept locking my device, and causing me too many problems. Thus, I had to shut it off, found it in Android 11. This feature is so bothersome I was forced to reset my phone once. Anyway, it displayed a message not to block blue screen on...

Security Master(Cheetah) has removed caller ID&Block from the app. Explanation was Google Play's TOS no longer allows it. Huh? What does GP have to do with some apps not owned or developed by it? Why would they care, unless they are pushing their own caller ID apps. Anyway, SM seems to take...

Looks like Virgin learned their lesson by shutting out Android phones, going all iPhone... and voila, they are back to offering Android phones with plans again! https://prepaidmobilephonereviews.com/virgin-mobile-usa-starts-offering-android-phones-again/ Best Buy is again selling Virgin...

I bought my tablet from Best Buy, Android 6.0, 10", for just $80. Had it for 2 years. Then, it started to malfunction; nothing downloaded, apps disappeared, slow, rebooted for no reason, overheated and shut off, etc. So, I was so fedup I wanted to smash it with a hammer, and just buy a new...

...in favor of the iPhone http://www.androidauthority.com/virgin-mobile-android-phones-781697/ Boo! Eventhough Virgin isnt big, it's pretty cheap. I bought a J3 for $80 and am happy with it. Will be switching to Verizon I guess then.

I've just upgraded from 6gb RAM to 8gb! Woohoo! Had a tough time removing that black plastic knob on top of the screw. But, all else went fine it seems. Thus, wont be buying a new laptop for 1-2 years perhaps. I removed the 2gb, but I thought there would be 4gb+2gb modules. Anyway, I got a...

Run this by me again, why should I invest in SSD given these prices? Comparing 1TB drives: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1273747-REG/crucial_ct1050mx300ssd1_mx300_1tb.html vs. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/844592-REG/Seagate_ST1000DM003_1TB_Barracuda_Internal_Hard.html I...

World's Smallest Hard Drive Writes Data Atom-By-Atom "they have created an atomic hard drive with a storage density that is 500 times greater than current hard drive technology." ok, cool, congrats! Now how would the home consumer use it? Unless DSLRs came with 100mp.

Just to think what this HDD contained! In 50 years, today's 5TB HDDs will be just as laughable.

Comparing these two laptops: ASUS 15.6" A555DG-EHFX Notebook A555DG-EHFX B&H Photo Video vs. Acer Aspire V 15 The Intel is Dual-Core but is faster at 2.5GHz, while the AMD is 2.1 GHz but a Quad-Core. Otherwise, all specs are the same besides: AMD Radeon R8 M350DX Graphics (2GB) vs. Intel HD...

I need to know why a UPS with a higher VA costs less than one with lower. Are UPSs at that price-point any good anyway? I will plug-in my TV, receiver, PC, DVD, bluray, cable, so some 8 outlets is enough. APC - Back-UPS 600VA UPS - Black 600VA for $52 vs. Tripp Lite - 350VA Desktop UPS -...

Got me Cat.52 cables to try out if Ethernet would be faster than Wi-Fi on my laptop. No problems connecting, and it works. However, the speeds werent twice of Wi-Fi, as I had expected. I then connected straight into modem, and still got the same speeds. Wi-Fi I get 20-25mbps. Here be results...

I am trying to connect my laptop to the router with cables provided by the cable company. The cable from modem to router is a Cat5e. It fits into the 4 LAN ports on the router, but it's too big for the LAN port in the laptop. will these fit in the laptop? Pearstone 14' Cat5e Snagless Patch...

Kensington Security Slot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://www.kensington.com/us/us/4482/locks#?x=1&fac369=798 Looks easy to install; and break off as well. All one needs are steel cutters, or even a garden sheer. But ifcourse students wouldnt cut the cord in a college library; nor...

I sure hope this is for real. judging from reddit, others found Staples deals too. http://www.staples.com/Toshiba-Satellite-C55-C5381-15-6-Laptop-Notebook-Intel-i7-1TB-8GB-Windows-Black/product_1936940##productInfo no wifi ac Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 RAM not upgradeable but price is good.

Acer 15.6" V3-575T-7008 Aspire V 15 V3-575T-7008 B&H Photo same as ASUS 15.6" F555UA-EH71 Notebook F555UA-EH71 B&H Photo Video except: 1366 x 768 Native Resolution vs. 1920 x 1080 Screen Resolution for $50 more. worth it? 1366 x 768 doesnt look bad at all.

I was hoping to upgrade from a Core i3 to i7, get 8gb, and a 1TB HD. However, when I added up the costs, plus time(my own) it appears the savings are just $100 if not even less than a new machine. An i7 CPU by itself is $350, so it appears to be out. And a new external 4gb goes at Best Buy for...

After many forums, reviews, tests, videos on Youtube all saying Intel always beats AMD, I was about to give up on it until I saw this PC: Lenovo H50-50 Desktop Computer (Black) 90BG003JUS B&H Photo I love the 12GB DDR3 RAM and a $120 monitor will take it up to the same price as this laptop...

Just got me a 32gb SDHC for $6.99 from B&H. Bought online as it was a 2 day sale, which I think is now over :-( But DVD-RW 15pk for $8.99 is still on.

BestBuy has: Asus - 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Black Model: F555LAEH51 SKU: 4649202 $499.00 vs. Dell - Inspiron 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Matte Silver Model: I5558-2144SLV | SKU: 4654000 $576.99 so if the specs are...

powered by Capricornus malware. And I also get Update Flash all the time. I have McAfee and SpyBot installed; neither has found the virus. I also get a screen says call Optimum. Some have said it's a firmware trojan, and I have to reset the hardware. How do I get rid of it?

Looks like both laptops are the same, except the AMD is a quad, as all AMDs seem to be. Is there really a speed difference since they are both 2.2GHZ? Or is AMD a better value than Intel? http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1183460-REG/asus_r556la_rh51_wx_15_6_r556la_notebook.html or...

Yes, ladies and germs, I finally gots me a brand new laptop! Asus X555 Core i3 6GB Ram 500gb 15.6" $330 Dont really need anything more or faster or newer. There was a Toshiba w/AMD quad-core same other specs and price, but I just didnt feel the comparisons warranted a non-Intel...

Hi all, Just curious as to exactly what do you store, keep, save on your HDDs? With huge HDDs from 500gb-3TB and low prices, do you go for bigger sizes, or smaller but more HDDs for back-up copies. I cant even fill up a 500GB; I've got music, thousands of photos, videos, copies of...

With less people buying music on CDs, and renting videos as well, and with Internet connections being fast enough, will music be downloaded in the WAV format or stay in MP3/4? Is compression really needed with HDDs in 4TB sizes, and broadband? Is there any reason to even use WAV, or even...

For those into computer history, here's an article from 1982: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/07/living-with-a-computer/306063/?single_page=true "IBM, which has just burst onto the home market with its Personal Computer" In 30 years we'll surely have a HAL in every home.

I have narrowed down my choices to these two, within my budget and needs. The laptop is a Core i3 vs. Dual-core +1GHZ. HDD isnt the issue as I use external. RAM is same, both have DVD. Ifcourse, I need a monitor for the desktop, but it's bigger by 5" than laptop's. For real long trips (5+...
