    Android (Note 8) phone search is suggesting deleted, unavailable files. Can't stop. Won't stop.

    Ah I missed that.... twice.... doh! So I picked up my Wife's S8 to replicate the problem. I tried searching "disc" and did not get any hits. I searched "img" which gave me hits on some pictures. If I revoke permissions to access storage (in Manage Apps), then Finder cannot present to me those...

    Android (Note 8) phone search is suggesting deleted, unavailable files. Can't stop. Won't stop.

    Do you have an SD card installed? Perhaps there's some shadow copy of some sorts still on that card? Like temp files or cache files.

    Who is the Nintendo Switch for really?

    I see a lot of contradictory thoughts in your arguments. I feel like you just want a traditional living room box. You complain about lack of games but are okay with the company focusing on indie titles right now (like the Vita). The switch is out for 2 weeks. There's roadmaps and release dates...

    nuvision tablet help

    Best way is setting up the home group as described above (follow the link). Then share a directory on the tablet and/or the PC. Then it is a matter of drag n drop the files.

    nuvision tablet help

    It has windows 10. Treat it like a full blown PC. I don't think a PC can recognize another PC via USB like that. This would require setting up windows share directories or similar. If you're using the same Windows live account, you can transfer via OneDrive.

    Shelf Mountable Video Ports

    Edit: just reread your idea. Not sure how the signal will work going back to dvi on the other side of the box... As for the whole box situation, might as well do something like this for all your cables: There's going to be a noodle of wires on the other side of your box anyhow

    Shelf Mountable Video Ports

    Have you considered port replicators or docking stations? Maybe something driven by USB 3.0. I'm assuming the back end has to connect to a computer somewhere anyhow. And then there's Tripp-Lite...

    iPad 2 Replacement

    I don't get your line of thought: Ipad 2 is slow and dying. Don't want the pro 9.7 because it's too powerful for their needs. Don't want the air2 because it is a bit old, but far faster than the ipad2. You are concerned the air2 is going to "goto shit" with ios11. But your parents have been...

    Where can I get my phone repaired?

    Idiot me didn't check the box to trust PC on access, so I'm effectively locked out until I can input my pin on the phone.. not happening with a shattered screen. wiping is easy, it is the recovery that is hard.

    Where can I get my phone repaired?

    The phone is not worth repairing. Remote wipe and sell it for parts then use moneys toward a more modern phone. Unless maybe OP needs access to the phone to recover contact info or pictures or whatnot? I'm currently in need to do that with my S4 because stupid app won't save the pics to my SD...

    Need help picking a Windows Tablet for automotive tuning.

    Something like this hp envy maybe. Yes it's out of stock at the ms store. I can't surf the crappy hp store from my phone, but check there. Or a cheap winbook. Why the cpu req.? isn't it mainly to display the tuning info?

    Apple's Macbook Event

    Except if a person's usage scenario does not mean they are taking it to work in an office. Or for that matter, not everyone owns a big thunderbolt display with all the connectors in he back. One day, perhaps. What about Average Joe me who just wants something to get into the Apple System? Seems...

    New MacBook Pro 15

    Therein lies the problem. It is difficult to guess what the "next big thing" would be in that time frame. Apple may already be too late to hop into the hybrid market and might just bypass it all. I think that is what they are attempting to do with the iPhone7 and this new Macbook Pro: instead of...

    Like them or not, Google's Pixel phones will be the iPhone competitor we've demanded for years

    Curious, have you had success in using such a contraption? Something like what screen repair gurus use (Example)? I recall seeing it advertised in some Zagg products, usually for the larger 10+ inch tablets. Nothing beyond them. Usually the problem I would encounter is if you do not drop a...

    The Touch Bar is progressing Apple's plan all along. *puts on conspirator's hat* Magic trackpad - touch function on dominant hand. Then Glass trackpad - touch function at the bottom of the laptop Then Touch Bar - touch function at the middle of the laptop Finally Touch screen - touch...

    I scrolled alllll the way to the top expecting some crazy images of scratches and dings..... but then saw some app with battery usage... huh? Glass shatters.. metals dings (and shows that nasty white underneath). Both will get marked up in some way, just depends on which kind grates you more..

    Looking For A Miracast-Compatible Android Tablet

    I never actually had one to play with, but if the Nexus Player is representative of the technology, it will not screen mirror. Microsoft seems to be the only player that is pushing Business needs with their stuff (Continuum, etc)... but it's windows (lots of options) and you need Android.

    Looking For A Miracast-Compatible Android Tablet

    The way I see it, it's slim picking. Not many advertise miracast and I think it's been abandoned for chromecast. And so far, unless requirements are reduced, I don't see any alternatives (if at all). Most bloat can be disabled. Sure it'll take up space, but expandible storage is cheap. Edit...

    Looking For A Miracast-Compatible Android Tablet

    No idea. You'll have to chance it. They are pretty new to the android scene. Correction: just remembered theyve been making tablets since 2012 (Nexus 7). Still not sure about their update cycle. I recommend checking with the folks at xda on what they think.

    hp dv4 wont charge battery

    I found this little tidbit from hp about their power adapters In short: hp does have an identification pin in their adapter. I'm not sure when it was implemented as it also mentions UEFI. If I recall correctly, dv4 came about before uefi. Still I'd wager the issue is that you'll need the 18.5V...

    I'm so done. Galaxy S7 not phone for me..

    Every modern smart phone is essentially 50%+ glass... because the front digitizer is glass. :ROFLMAO: Cases for everyone! I guess this is a case (hah) of "it didn't happen"... because there's no "pics"

    Apple's Macbook Event

    The design looks like it will suction to my desk and never let go... Those usb-c connectors better be pretty thin because it doesnt look like there's a lot of clearance (vertically). Sadly this is yet another release where I won't be able to convince the missus to make the jump to apple...

    hp dv4 wont charge battery

    I looked up the c60... being that it's a Compaq would imply different circuit designs. As such, that model/board might be okay with 19.5V whereas the HP design require 18.5v I'm actually impressed that the batteries are cross compatible.

    hp dv4 wont charge battery

    Yes. You have a multimeter. Just touch one end to the outside of the barrel metal and the other to the metal pin inside the barrel. You'll get a reading. Edit: do note that I have some power adapters that lights up on the indicator led, but has no power at the tip. Might be your case. That 1v...

    Apple's Macbook Event

    I'm confuzzled. The base 2016 13" doesn't have the touch strip? Or is that just a re-released previous gen? And that's it? Nothing new with the other lines?

    hp dv4 wont charge battery

    Haven't heard hp using proprietary ac adapters (unlike dell). Did you confirm the "compatible" adapters are outputting the correct voltage? 19v vs 19.5v makes a difference. Also, the adapter plug should likewise match. Some tips fits, but polarity could be wrong or the barrel is actually...

    Like them or not, Google's Pixel phones will be the iPhone competitor we've demanded for years

    Walked into a Bestbuy to see if they had a floor demo.... nope... But they did have about 6 stations for the iphone7. I did see a 6p stuffed next to the honor 5x (or some such) on the reverse side of a wall. Google is doing something wrong if they are trying to get some exposure for this phone...

    Note 8 is still coming :D

    Can you imagine all the promotions Samsung will have to make to get people back on board? Just look at what they did for Samsung Pay... and that's for software. Throw in a damaged brand name and the next Samsung phone might be close to free..

    Like them or not, Google's Pixel phones will be the iPhone competitor we've demanded for years

    Except I don't think Apple is in the habit of killing off their devices in its infancy. *sideways glance at Nexus Player, Nexus Q, Glass, Google Play Editions* (To an extent all their previous phones too. Last check I can still buy the 6s from apple. Don't see where to get the 5x and 6p from...

    How "hard" is it to open up a laptop to clean/fix?

    +1 for those damn screws. And they are specific to the laptop too so there's a low chance of having them fit other laptops. Where does One go about buying reasonably priced thermal pads that aren't shipped direct from china? I have only seen items with a ship time of 28-1836 days (slight...

    While admittedly the phone is nice, but what the hell happened with the box art?? It looks like Google just snapped a picture of some dog barf for that image on the phone. I haven't a chance to check one out, too intimidating to walk into a Verizon store and be accosted by the reps. Anyone...
