I'm using it for a unique purpose where I have a computer hutch (armoire) wall unit and in one of the small nooks (shelf) I had an old 13" old school TV that I needed to replaced with a small 15" Flat screen HD TV, but this TV was 1" too wide to fit inside the nook (shelf). - - - I bought this awesome TV Wall Mount, although it is overkill for my 15" TV, it does what I needed it to do - - - so when I'm done with using the computer and watching this TV, I can maneuver the TV in such a way as to tuck it inside the nook shelf space to put it out of the way so I can close the whole wall unit Hutch with their two doors - - - similar to an armoire. - - - Good quality product.

I bought this Moto X4 Unlocked 32GB/3GB Ram to (Activate Later) for $149.99 (reg $349.99) to activate Tracfone on it with the “Tracfone: Keep your own smartphone Sim Kit - AT&T” for my mom. (XT1900-1)
#1) BUY THIS PHONE! – For this price, you should run out of the store like you stole something, lol. Why? Because the specs on this phone for that price is just awesome.
#2) Just for an example: I have the LG G6 and while the specs are better on paper – this Moto X4 seems better in every category. I am Jelly.
#3) My LG phone ppi = 564 , Moto X4 ppi = 424 (but the Moto looks more crisp and detailed)
My phone processor = 821 , Moto processor = 630 (but the Moto seems snappier)
My phone processor = 821 , Moto processor = 630 (but the Moto seems snappier)
#4) This is the Moto X4 “Android One” meaning that this device runs a “pure Android experience” that focuses on providing timely OS and security updates. Motorola and Google promise that this device will get Android Oreo 8.0 and with a guaranteed and fast update to Android Pie 9.0 with all the security update in between.
This is exactly what happen to me: Phone started with Android Oreo 8.1.0 OPWS 28.46-21-16 and then got 5 separate Security Patches, then got the Android Pie 9.0 then got another 4 Security Patches. I am now at the Security Patch: PPW 29.69-39-2 (April 1, 2019).
So, I went through 9 Security Updates and 1 Android OS UpGrade, so you’ll have to dedicate about 2.9 hours to this, I didn’t want to NOT do an update fearing that if I went back to the phone later to continue the rest of the updates to find out that it won’t update anymore for some reason.
NOTE: Have the phone plugged into the wall power outlet the whole time you do these updates, you will be doing a lot of restarts and boot-ups – and be patient, let the phone boot-up completely before doing another update and restart. Never rush this type of procedure.

More General Cellphone Notes:
1) Never fill up your internal hard-drive with Apps, try to have only Half filled – the phone will run faster and actually uses the empty space to run quicker.
1) Never fill up your internal hard-drive with Apps, try to have only Half filled – the phone will run faster and actually uses the empty space to run quicker.
2) Buy the highest capacity external SDHC Card you can afford to put you MP3 music and have your pictures go to the SDHC Card and not the internal hard drive.
3) If you use any widgets for example: a Weather App or Calendar App, try to only have 2 widgets running on the phone Max. Having more running, constantly drains resources and pulls too much RAM (memory).
Bottom Line: BUY THIS PHONE!

Connect your ISP to it, then it to your Router - does what a modem does - also, my ISP actually sent an update to the modem - in my area the down stream is blue but the up stream is green - but in time both down and up stream will be in Blue eventually.

It's the same Gen 2 Fire TV Stick with an improved Gen 2 Alexa Voice Remote that has the added Volume up/down, mute and power button for the TV only. I do wish the power was for the Fire TV Stick, but no, you put it to sleep just like before. I also notice that there is WiFi activity from the Fire TV Stick even though it's in sleep mode, kinda weird, I think it's for updates in the background.

After taking a photo, it's very fast on writing to the card and displaying on the preview screen on a (LG G6), no lag whatsoever.
Does what RAM does ;)
Bought it for $41.99 seemed to be a good price at the time and it's an : A1 that is faster for Apps if Apps are installed onto the SD card.

I bought this because I wanted good specs like the harddrive space 32GB and 4GB RAM with a good processor - I was tired of waiting for an App or webpage to load and needed more memory, since all my other older phones just had only 1GB of RAM and in 2018 - that's just not enough.
There's nothing I don't like about the phone, it's great all around, and it even updated from Android 7.1 to Oreo 8.0 at initial startup.
I am using a Tracfone sim card through Verizon network and it's great.
I have just one little gripe and I bet it will be addressed in the next OS update to PIE 9.0 - but when charging the phone, when finished - the phone gives no audible indication that it's fully charged, like all my other LG phones have done, I find it quite strange, really. It does show in the notification dropdown but no audible indication - so you might be keeping it on the charger for longer than needed.
Talking about the battery: it gives me 2 days charge, with WiFi, Location, Bluetooth and Sync ON.

Is this compatible with Xfinity/Comcast & do we need a good antenna for our tv. We currently have Xfinity-highest cable, & internet, want to quit our service but Want to make sure we get it to work, then cancel. Please advise. Thx!
So ya its "compatible" with Xfinity internet, you don't need an antenna because everything will be streaming from the internet. So you can stop Comcast Cable TV but you need to keep Comcast/Xfinity Internet because this device needs WiFi from your Router to stream these movies and apps. But the movies can't be seen unless you pay for Amazon Prime Video stand alone Movie streaming only or get Amazon Prime for $119/Yr. that includes free 2 day shipping on anything you buy from Amazon, Music streaming and some other additional services.
Also, the Fire TV stick doesn't replace the local channels and even other network channels you get with Comcast Cable TV.
So if you want to watch fake news from ABC, CBS, NBC or CNN this device does not provide that - but for most of us that's a good thing

Do. U need internet, with the firestick.
IF you want to watch a movie, YES you need WiFi in your house - and so you need a WiFi Router connected to your modem.
You can purchase an additional device to make the Fire TV Stick hard wired to an Ethernet cable. - This is what I did to ensure no buffering and a better quality connection, but I also have 2 other Fire TV Sticks that's connected to WiFi only and the quality of the connection is just as good and don't notice and difference between WiFi connected or Ethernet connected - so you're good either way imo.

I want to replace my old TracFone with a used iPhone 4. Will the mini activation kit unlock the iPhone, and does Best Buy charge if they do it for you?
I don't think BestBuy can unlock any cellphone, but I know any phone you want to use needs to be unlocked.
The Tracfone sim card activation kid does NOT unlock any cellphone, it just brings cell service to an unlocked cellphone.
I always bought my Tracfones through QVC or HSN since they give with the purchase of their phones, you get a year of service along with 1500, min, text and data. BUT. . .
The phones are low spec and I decided to buy Unlocked cell phones - it is more money to purchase an unlocked phone but the Specs are way better than anything QVC or HSN has to offer.
I bought a LG G6 unlocked (US997) - I already have a lot of minutes and text and a year of service with Tracfone so I just bought the Tracfone sim card activation kit for $1.00 and did everything online.
