I bought this today and it has nice sound. Anything was an improvement over the speakers in the TV. Watching a movie, I jumped when the sound suddenly increased at one point in the movie. It took a while to figure out since I bought it as an open box item and it did not have a manual. Luckily I found the manual online. Once I got it set up it was great. Not the best, but not the worst either.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got the tab 4 the day after it was released. After playing with it a couple days, here is my impression.
The screen is clear but still has 1200x800 resolution so it is not the best, but not the worst either. It is clear enough to watch movies and still get a decent viewing angle and picture.
It has a quad core processor that makes it quick to load web pages and open apps quickly. It also has multiwindow which is helpful when you want to watch a movie but also have a chat on FB. This tab also allows multiple user accounts and offers a kid's account too. This makes it economical for families because now you only need 1 tablet and each person can customize the tablet to his or her tastes. The kid mode allows parents to prevent access to inappropriate websites and apps, and also from kids making in app purchases without parental consent.
Like most Android tablets, you can expand the memory using a micro SD card up to 64 gb, leaving plenty of space to store movies, music, apps, etc.
Android 4.4 KItKat took some getting used to and Samsung got rid of the menu button and replaced it with a "Recent task" button instead. I find this annoying because now I have to try and navigate around apps to find the menu, whereas before I could just hit the menu button and would easily access what I needed.
The Galaxy tab 4 8.0 is a good midlevel tablet, but if you really want great resolution on the screen, then you will need to upgrade to the Tab Pro 8.4. That has much better resolution. But if you are looking for a good entertainment venue then this is perfect. Bigger than the 7 inch version and smaller than the 10.1, it is easy to hold and won't require a stand to prop it up.
This product is... easy to set up, lightning fast

I use this for watching movies on my tablet. I feel like I have a mini home theater system. It paired easily with my tablet and battery lasts a long time. Worth the money. Sound gives a rich deep bass. You can hear the difference between cheaper speakers and this.

What's great about it: Sound, screen clarity, being able to watch movies stored on a USB drive without a computer
I have had this model only a few days and it is the main tv for me because I live in a very small apartment and space is limited. It suits my needs perfectly. The screen is so clear that when I was setting up channels, a football game was on and could see little blades of grass flying around as a player was tackled and I could see beads of sweat on some of the players' faces. Watching movies with a lot of visual character like Avatar is so clear. Technology improvements in just over a year have changed greatly. I wish I could afford and had space for a larger screen tv, but that will come later. I would buy any Samsung product.

What's great about it: nice viewing
What's not so great: lack of accessories
I love this tablet. The screen is vibrant and connects quickly. Samsung got rid of the proprietary cable and now uses a more universal cable. Watching Netflix is great and I like the fact I can use either a bluetooth or usb run keyboad. It's battery life is ok. I sold my iPad mini for this tablet. It has a better screen and more flexibility for downloading apps. I'm almost exclusively Samsung now: HDTV, tablet, and phone.I have never been disappointed in Samsung products.

Will it work on a pull-out faucet
I have a faucet that pulls out. Will the fitting fit on this to attach to the faucet
Only if it does not have a "shower" head on the end. If you can attache a Brita faucet filter on the end, then it will probably work.

Apple - iPhone 6 16GB - Gold
iPhone 6 isn't just bigger — it's better in every way. Larger yet thinner. More powerful, yet power efficient. It's a new generation of iPhone.
Service Cancellation
If I obtain a new line and start a brand new contract to purchase a phone, if I opt to terminate the service with the phone company, do I have to return the phone?
Usually no unless you bought the phone under a program like AT&T Next installment plan. If you used the Next plan then you will be required to pay the full balance on the phone. If you bought the phone under a contract then no you don't have to return the phone. You will have to pay early termination fee. If you want to use the phone on a different network other than the company you originally had the contract then you will have to have the phone unlocked.

NETFLIX ON TAB4
I have tried numerous times to connect NETFLIX to my Tab4 - without success. My password is rejected so I get a new password and that is rejected even though approved by NETFLIX so I keep going through this cycle without success. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? Thank you.
Have you tried uinstalling and reinstalling the app itself? Or you could try a factory reset of the tablet and then download netflix again. It's a pain, but maybe something with the tablet isn't working correctly. If you just updated the app you can also try to just uninstall the updates. If none of these things work than maybe you have a bad wifi antenna. Can you connect to other streaming sites like Hulu Plus ot an app like CBS or ABC?

Aux input playback
I've read the answer to issues with 5.1 playback but I'm having the same problem when connecting all of my devices ( all Apple) to the speaker. Almost as if it's not playing in stereo so on some tracks I lose vocal, on others bass etc. Is this to do with the settings on my devices?
I use an iPhone 5s, iPad 1st gen and 2nd gen iPod nano. I would have thought these devices would play back exactly as they do when using Bluetooth connection but they don't. Any advice on this. I've taken one back because of it and it seems I didn't need to but the staff in the shop didn't question it.

I'm not sure if you have a bad connection if you are using aux. input to connect your devices instead of Bluetooth. I use mine to connect to my laptop through aux cable. The bass isn't as deep when connected via cable. It could also be the cable itself. Quality actually does matter when using aux. cables. I notice a difference when I am using an aux cable I got from the dollar store and one that I got from BB. The overall sound quality is better using the cable from BB. Not sure if this will help or not.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Tablet: Mix play and productivity with a tablet able to open 2 apps or windows at the same time. Important documents are kept safe with a fingerprint scanner, and a low-power mode helps your tablet stay functioning for as long as possible.
Can I make and receive regular phone calls with unlocked Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE?
Can I make and receive regular phone calls with an unlocked Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE in Miami, FL with AT&T, Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile? If not, when do you expect to sell in Miami, FL the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 LTE with full telephone functionality through AT&T, Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile?
Even if you use it with a cellular connection, the tablet will not act like a cell phone. It just means that you can use the internet away from a wifi connection. If you want to make calls on a tablet, you need an app like Skype or Viber. These use wifi/internet connections to receive outgoing and incoming calls. If you need phone capabilities then you can try any of the larger screen smartphones out there.

Designed to hold up to 6 place settings, this Danby DDW611WLED 22" portable dishwasher fits on your countertop and connects to most kitchen taps for easy operation. Six wash cycles effectively clean soiled dishes.
what is the recommended water temperature to use with this unit?
i'm worried I may need to increase the temperature on my hot water heater to use this properly.
I don't think you will need to adjust water temperature, unless your thermostat is set really low. Run the tap till the water gets really hot. Then connect the dishwasher. The unit has a built in heater that heats the water to about 150 degrees. That's the hottest it will get. It is enough to get dishes clean, although you may need to rinse the larger chunks of food off dishes before loading. Hope that helps.

Is this a full range sound speaker?
NOt sure what you mean by full range. It is plenty loud enough to play for background music. The bass is rich and full. I use it when I'm watching a movie on my tablet and I feel like I have a mini home theater system. It certainly offers richer sound than most portable bluetooth speakers. But if you want sound compared to a big stereo system, then this is not for you. Bose makes bigger speakers with richer sound for party purposes to play over loud noise. This great if you have an mp3 player and want to listen to music while you do stuff around the house and don't want to mess around with headphones. It also has an auxiliary access to connect any mp3 player with a headphone jack. I love it because I use it when I'm housecleaning and don't want to mess around with wires.

The super-clear screen sharpens your multimedia experience; plus, all the members of your family can personalize their interaction with the tablet.
what are features of tab4 vs, tab 3?
First, the tab 4 has a quad core processor vs. dual core processor on tab 3. The screen resolution is the same at least between 8 inch models. Tab 3 had Android Jellybean vs. tab 4 has KitKat. The shape and size between 8 inch is very similar and I was able to use a tab 3 8 inch case for my tab 4 8 inch. Not a perfect fit, but close enough for me that I don't feel I need to buy an extra case.
The processor really makes a difference in loading websites and opening apps. Also tab 4 allows for multiple user accounts on one tablet and also features a kid friendly account that parents can control access to.
In terms of weight, size, and physical characteristics, there is little difference. However, instead of the glossy back on the tab 3, the tab 4 features a textured plastic back and can make it feel cheaper than the previous models. The textured back is supposed to make it easier to hold, but if you have it in a case, it kind of seems unnecessary and makes it feel cheap.
Hope that helps you make a decision. Price point is probably the biggest difference. IF price is not a concern, go with tab 4. If it is, then go with tab 3. The differences are not so great that it will make watching movies and reading email a big deal.
