SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB A 8.0"

This is one of the very few 8" android tablets with FHD (1900X1200) resolution. Previous smaller Samsung tablets were low res. I paid more than I wanted for an AT&T Tab A with a bad IMEI because this model is only available from a major carrier and expensive if not part of a promotion. I'm very...

Please help me set up mb audio and soundcard on same pc

Sorry if the answer to this seems obvious. I have never used on board audio before. I have a M-Audio pci soundcard installed in an Asrock Z87 Extreme6 mb. The coaxial s/pdif connection on the card goes out to a standalone DAC which outputs analog to my preamp. All PC sources currently run...

Can someone help me find a used Android tablet on eBay?

I recently sold both a Samsung Pro 8.3 and a Dell Venue 7000. The 1440p resolution made everything much too small and both tablets had serious lag. I highly recommend the LG G Pad X 8.0 I bought on Swappa new for $160. T-Mobile had a promotion on these that ended up with the tablet being free so...

Want to replace my Nexus 7 (POS) with used/cheap tablet

I am loving the LG Pad X 8.0 I bought from Swappa new for $158. T-Mobile offered the tablet essentially for free at introduction so people are reselling them at a profit. Mine was unlocked. The tablet can be bootloader unlocked and rooted. TWRP is available. There are no custom ROMs but stock...

Phones to replace LG G2 for parents - very good camera, similar size or smaller

Check out the reviews for the Blu Life One X 2016, available from Amazon for $149. With a full HD 5.2" screen they should be very comfortable with it coming from a G2. There's also the smaller Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 at 4.7" for less than $200. Both are value leaders and the reviews should give...

Ptel shutting down need new cheap service

I was also ok using around $5 a month with ptel and after a lot of research I've concluded that paygo options are limited, particularly on t-mobile. I am moving my t-mobile locked phone to us mobile for $9/mo to begin with: 100 minutes, 100 texts, 100 mbs. This is more than I will probably use...

LG G2 vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 ? $150 new

Be *very* careful doing this. First of all Lg put two different screen panels on the g2. If you flash the wrong kernel you can get permanent screen corruption. Some roms have kernels that automatically detect the correct panel but not all. The phones are also extraordinarily easy to hard brick...

Swappa buying Note 4 from corporate seller?

I have become a big fan of the ebay sellers pangea_deals and certifiedusedphoneoutlet. They are owned by Assurant, the company that provides warranty replacements for the major carriers. Pangea lists "like new" phones: I recently bought a t-mobile note 4 from them for $320 shipped (lower than...

Smartphone/Plan advice for a late adopter

If T-mobile's coverage works for you then a very cheap but efficient solution is the Lumia 521 Windows phone, $45 on Amazon. My wife and I both use the T-mobile MVNO Ptel's paygo. $5/mo buys you up to 100 voice minutes, 250 texts, or 100mbs of data. Unused $ rolls over. My wife loves both her...

Problem booting from USB drive

I wanted to be able to boot Windows from the usb drive in case there was a problem with the C drive. I thought that was possible. But having done more research I see that this is only possible with Windows to Go and the Windows 8 Enterprise Edition. Oh well. Thanks anyway.

Problem booting from USB drive

I have copied the good system partition from my Windows 8.1 C drive to an external USB drive with two different programs, Aomei Backerupper, using the restore system from backup option, and Minitool Partition Wizard, copying the system partition. While the drive is visible in the MB boot options...

Best Andriod mp3 music player

No one but me seems to use it but I love MixZing. It's like Pandora for your own music. After it analyzes your collection ( the bigger the better) you can choose a song and it will create a playlist. It also has shoutcast radio built-in and can play podcasts and videos in an elementary way...

Help with port forwarding

I have just been through the exact same situation with TWC. You won't be able to reconfigure the Arris for bridge mode yourself but tech support was able to see the problem from their end immediately and quickly solved it. Almost made up for the incompetent installer not setting it up right to...
