    DQA has stopped bug

    Re: DQA has stooped bug I'm not getting the error, but I noticed I keep losing internet connection over WiFi. I was downloading watch faces for my Gear S3 and it kept hanging. That's when I noticed the exclamation point next to the WiFi indicator, and in checking the WiFi, saw that the signal...

    Who's going naked?

    I have owned cell phones longer than most people on this forum have been alive (since the Panasonic bag phone days) and I have NEVER used a case, and I have NEVER damaged a phone. But I am very careful with all my tools and gadgets, and I like the look without a case. That said, I looked at...

    Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

    Yeah, but gave up after 2-1/2 hours on hold! Went to BB and bitched like crazy, especially since the Samsung site was saying my phone wasn't eligible (???) for the bonus at all !! Turned out the ineligibility issue was a website problem and I was finally able to register for the VR, but...

    Official: Galaxy S8 / S8+ Pre-Order Thread

    While supplies last in this case is pretty much a scam. I picked up my 8+ at 10:30 AM Friday (alleged release day) and went straight home to claim the $99 bundle. It was ALREADY gone by 11:00 AM of release day. Never again will I buy a Samsung phone, and never again will I pre-order ANYTHING...

    Outlook.com app and its calendar

    So far I love it, but it's only been a week. Came from an iPhone 4 (not 4s) and the speed improvement is significant, and the difference in screen size is incredible. I picked up my iPhone yesterday to go through my apps to be sure I found equivalents before I sell the phone and I couldn't get...

    Outlook.com app and its calendar

    Janet, Thank you very much for your input in this (and the other related) thread. Following your instructions I was able to get my new Samsung S4 to sync with my desktop Outlook 2010 via Outlook.com. One thing that I can't figure out yet is categories. They come through via Outlook.com but I...

    Outlook.com app and its calendar

    There are many good reasons not to use Google calendars. For me the first reason is that Google's business model is to mine data and sell it, and I just don't trust them with all my personal data. You can say anything you want about Google but I just don't trust them. On the more practical...

    Anyone near Nashua, NH, want to buy my Transformer?

    I got the Asus a few days ago and decided it's not for me. I'm going to buy an iPad 2. Before I return it to Walmart I just wanted to see if anyone on the forum would want to buy it? I am just asking what I paid for it, $420 (I paid for overnight shipping, hence the extra $20). If anyone is...

    Galaxy Tab Not Supported in Kies?

    Hi all, I just got my AT&T version SGT and I downloaded Kies to get the latest firmware updates. When I connect the tab to Kies I get a message that "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0." I checked for updates but it says I'm running the latest version of Kies. Any ideas? Is there any...

    Is there a good android app for downloading movies?

    Or just buy them on DVD and use a program like Handbrake or Pavtube to rip them to the tablet.

    preorder at J&R Electronics

    I'll make some of you happy. With all the negatives I've been reading about the Transformer I have decided to wait for the Samsung to be released next month. I just cancelled my backorder at J&R. So everyone after me moves up a notch. By the way, the customer service guy trying to talk me...

    Xoom is #1 selling tablet on Amazon.

    No, they aren't. Those are "marketplace" sellers, in other words people who bought an iPad 2 to resell it at a profit, and every one of them is more than Apple retail price. When/if Amazon themselves actually get the iPad 2 to sell then we'll see which sells better. Personally I'm still on...

    Supply Chain Issues

    Well that sucks. Shows lack of planning on Asus' part. I'm in the semiconductor industry and anyone in this industry knows about the supply chain issues for the past 2 years. The disaster in Japan only made a bad situation worse. Asus should have known they had to pipeline product months...

    Target just cancelled my order!!!

    I got in early on the $40 off deal. Apparently Target doesn't want to honor that discount because I just got an e-mail stating that because they couldn't get any product they are cancelling my order. This is obviously BS because they did not give me any option to wait on the back order. They...

    Sound quality Xoom vs Transformer?

    Personally I can't understand the argument at all. I had an original iPad for a year before I sold it on eBay and never listened to anything (other than notification sounds) without headphones. No tablet is going to have any kind of decent sound. If you are listening to music or watching a...
