    How to keep getting good enough battery life all the time on Tab Pro 8.4.

    I have been extremely disappointed with the battery life of my. SM-T320. While it started off great - battery would last a couple days with medium use for the first 5 months, the battery has now started losing its charge in a matter of hours with heavy use, and not more than a day when with...

    Galaxy Note 3 Verizon: Lollipop Update

    My Note3 has become almost unusable since the update to lollipop. It is always going to 3G or 1X, requiring switching to airplane mode more times a day than I care to count. I live in an X-LTE saturated market, so this is completely unacceptable. Wifi also had become completely unreliable...

    Received My Glass today

    Yeah... while they are neat to play with, and the nerd cred is currently unmatched, I decided to return them. Again while neat, and I truly believe in the products future, there just was no killer app that justified the $1,500 price tag. For significantly less, maybe... I will hold out until the...

    Received My Glass today

    I am #teamcharcoal I have played around a bit. But my first annoyance - Glass and my Note 3 are coached via BT. I get into my car, and the BT connection starts flipping between the car and the phone. So I shut Glass down, my phone connected to the car with out issue. I started playing music...

    HP Slate 7 model 1800 (aka, Walmart Black Friday "Mesquite")

    I ended up returning mine because I was able to get an Asus MeMo Pad (ME173X) for $10 more, and it was quad code and 2x's the storage at 16GB. It seemed to good to pass up. Hopefully this tablet will serve you well. There is a threat over on xda-developers about rooting and installing CM in...

    HP Slate 7 model 1800 (aka, Walmart Black Friday "Mesquite")

    So did anyone get one of these tablets? I checked at my local Walmart 13 hours after they went on sale and managed to get the last one. I must say, for $89 I am pretty impressed with its zippy performance and solid build quality. This is my first 7 inch tablet, and I do like the form factor...

    Google Navigator Voice

    My point, which I forgot to make, was that there are a variety of voices to select from - including "Tom"

    Google Navigator Voice

    You could also try the Waze app. I like it much better than the Google navigation. Google recently bought Waze, so I am sure they will eventually merge into one app anyway.

    Use stock Mobile Hotspot app on Verizon without subscription

    Yes, it has to do with the FCC ruling. They cannot dictate how you use your data, so they can no longer block those third party apps that create a hotspot and work arounds to get the stock hotspot working. So this shouldn't ever go away. So for those that pay the extra $30 fee for a hotspot...

    Best car dock for Note 3?

    Re: best car dock for note 3? I have been an iBolt user in the past, and have always been pleased with their products. But for my Note 3, I changed over to iOttie because it holds the phone in the portrait position very well, which didn't seem to be the case with the iBolt (based on the...
