OK Buy

Bought primarily to have a better storage solution for my loose PS1 Games that are in paper sleeves. Do like the fact it had colors so It was an ok buy overall. A little on the pricey side but otherwise good.

Was perfect for connecting my new HP 10.1" Stream laptop to my new Dynex 16" LED Television. No frustration, no extra cables needed for audio, picture and audio comes from one cable. Very satisfied with my purchase. Can play all my games on my TV now (Think retro classics)

Very frustrating activation process- Bad support
on May 15, 2015
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
I placed an online order and chose a plan. So I go into the store and the reps are very helpful. However it seemed like a nightmare to transfer my number from Tracfone to T Mobile. I was lead to believe that the activation process for my new phone was instantaneous and I would leave the store with a working phone. My phone was not activated until after midnight the next day. I tried to go on T Mobiles Facebook page and every reply I gave them I had to wait a half hour for each reply I made to them on their "T Force" Social Media service. It was getting late and I had to go to bed. I did not have time for their grossly delayed replies. Finally when I woke up this morning, the phone was activated and I just had to pay for my service to get started. To make matters worse, T Mobile customer support is closed late at night so I could not get much of anything accomplished. The local store gets a 5 stars for going out of their way to figure out what was wrong but the initial support experience at T Mobile only gets 3 stars for making me wait forever to figure out what was going on.
I switched to this carrier because I needed unlimited minutes and texts and their offer and reliable service was a done deal. I will just keep in mind that perhaps I should call on the phone during hours and speak to a live person rather then waiting on Facebook.
You may have a better support experience if you are getting a new phone number for activation, otherwise be prepared for frustration if you port in your number. I forgave T Mobile and I've moved on.

A replacement for my 15 year old CRT
on May 14, 2015
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
I had a Sylvania 27" CRT television that went out today and I could not afford a really big television. The price for $79.99 was just right. While this is much smaller then the television I had previously the picture quality is amazing and it has the right ports I want in case I decide to buy one of those video game systems that require HDMI. I do have my Insignia DVD player and Sony Playstation 1 hooked up through this television (Needed an AV splitter to do so) and they looked very nice. Remote came with batteries too which was a plus.
The unit was very easy to assemble with the stand and I did not need any tools to assemble the television. My only gripe about this is that in my bedroom I have a coaxial connection for DISH. Getting the connector to screw in the port was a big challenge but once I got it fastened in there, I was able to scan for the channel my DISH TV service was on (CH 60) and was able to view TV. It did look very nice over coaxial cable.
If you are looking for a very budget friendly television with great pictures and lots of options you have come across a good value for this TV. Just remember the price you paid and don't expect big theater sound and remember the basics.

You can game on it... Read the review
on May 4, 2015
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
My Dell XPS M1530 finally stopped working and I needed a replacement laptop. Now you are thinking, I must be crazy to use this kind of laptop for gaming. But the graphics chip that's onboard is better then the Geforce 8400M GS that was on my previous laptop. In order to play games, you need to remove all the bloat on the laptop.
Here is what you will need for your laptop to game on it:
16GB Flash Drive (for creating the recovery drive)
1TB External USB 3.0 HDD
4 Port USB Hub
XBOX 360 Controller (Logitech F310 Gamepad Suggested)
Do NOT install games on the main hard drive, there is not enough space, always install to the external drive.
Additionally you will want to disable Fast Shutdown and Fast Boot, turn off system protection and disable Windows Update. That will speed things up considerably. Don't remove the HP apps or you will not be able to create a recovery drive. You can't burn DVD media anymore.
Performance Wise: I played some older games on Steam that had 3D Graphics and they ran reasonably well if you turn down the detail level in some games. You won't be able to play GTA V so don't try it.
You can't upgrade the HDD, You can't upgrade the ram. You have to install larger programs to the external HD.
Overall a great bargain for $199. Trend Micro and 1 year of Office was a bonus.

Helps keep my laptop going for longer.

Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
I run Windows XP SP3 Pro still. I know it's not supported anymore but 2 days ago when I ran my computer I got the dreaded Smart error saying my hard drive was about to fail and I needed to backup my stuff immediately. Well I did not have anything important inside my computer, but I still needed my computer. Could not afford a new one. This one was very affordable and installed easily in my Dell XPS M1530 in minutes. I ran the full format on the HDD and then installed XP SP3 Pro onto the hard drive, ran the Windows Updates and put my programs back on there. I have had no performance issues using the HDD whatsoever. It was $50 during the sale and I bought it using store pickup. The staff that helped me with my store pickup was very courteous too at Store #364. This is a fantastic value and a must have for anyone that wants to keep their current computer but don't want to buy a new one. Just remember what I said in my review. Don't do a quick format, do a full format. XP Pro disc has a full format feature. Otherwise use a tool you can boot from disc and format the disc fully there.

Very nice sound for a tiny speaker
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
I have a smart phone that I recently bought and I like to listen to talk radio when I'm on the go. The sound that my LG Optimus Dynamic puts out is very tiny. Adding this speaker to the mix really amplifies the sound and makes it audible in the pocket of my backpack. I would suggest getting an extension cord for your smart phone so one pocket can have the speaker in it and the other pocket can have your smart phone in it. Well worth the money. One thing to note. If you start to hear distorted speakers on your unit that means its low on batteries. The light will also dim with loud volume to indicate this as well.

Why pay more then you have to?
on February 26, 2015
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
Well, I'm very budget conscious but I like to burn lots of movies to discs. I've used all 25 in the spindle and I did not have one bad disk out of the 25 of them. I'm surprised on how durable and well made these disks are. Taking a disk out of a case has proven that they won't snap in the area where your finger goes through. You can get these on sale from time to time but for the price you pay its very reasonable for an everyday price.

Plays discs well, seems built good
on August 31, 2014
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
I had a Magnavox DVD Player that was manufactured in 2005 and it finally went out after all these years! Pretty good run. But I did not have the $$$$ to spend on a new unit. Picked this up at Best Buy and brought it home for less then $30 on sale. Was easy to hookup and worked right away. I loved the fact that the DVD Player had included a battery with the remote. The unit had no A/V Cables to hook up to the TV but if you are replacing your DVD player that broke with the new one such as this unit you can use the old cables.
I'm not ready for HD or Bluray yet and have a 4X3 CRT that still works so it works well for my usage.
Here is a hint when you first set it up. If you are hooking this up into a flat screen TV. The unit is already configured by default to look optimal on the screen at 16x9
If you are on a CRT TV you will want to go to the setup button on the remote and change the TV Type to 4x3 letterbox. If you don't do this , some movies will look cutoff.
I know Blu Ray is slowly becoming shelved in favor of HD Streaming Movies and with DVD Movies you can only get them these days by buying combo packs. but if your old school like me, and treasure your movies, you will want to get this DVD Player and continue watching them. If you have kids and they have their own TVs its a great buy and while the product appearance is not fancy it does what its supposed to at a price that won't break your pocketbook.
What's great about it: Remote control comes with batteries , price point
What's not so great: A/V Cable is not included. No biggie since I used my own

Would like to give it a more perfect review but...
on August 29, 2014
Posted by: hockeycanuckjc
from Citrus Heights,CA
Now I am going to keep this in mind.
1. The Computer has a Celeron Processor.
2. The Computer has only 2GB of Ram
3. The Computer runs on Windows 8
4. The price was only $199 when it was on sale.
Opening the laptop out of the box had me scratch my head. There was no battery in there, so I called Acer, and they told me that the battery was integrated inside the unit and was not easily replaceable by the user. This is a big turn off but it's the truth per Acer customer representative. The Memory is also not user replaceable and requires someone with the know how in order to pry open apart the casing , disconnect some wires and unscrew a few things in order to get to the memory compartment. Not happy about this one.
Finally after I got it all up and running and all the junk stripped off of there, The unit was experiencing the "BSOD" behavior. In this case of Windows 8 it politely tells you an unexpected error happened and it needs to restart. I called Acer once more and they had me to a PC Refresh and remove all the USB components from the laptop until the whole setup completed. That seemed to do the trick and the system seems steady and stable right now. I will monitor the unit to see if the behavior returns again. If it does within the 14 day period I will be taking the unit back for a refund. I do believe it was a temporary glitch but then again one glitch can lead up to another and you don't even know it.
3 Stars for now - Until I can properly assess the units performance and have a better experience with it. I got it for work because I work in Customer Service, but this initial trouble had me frustrated the whole night because buying a new computer rarely happens on my budget and its a big purchase.
What's great about it: HDMI, Buiilt in Bluetooth.
What's not so great: Initial Experience left me with a sour taste about computing in general.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome add on for 32" dynex
By ValueShopperTX from Corpus Christi
Added these speakers to my 32" Dynex LCD we bought last year. Sound from TV has always bothered me. Added these on and now the Sound Matches the picture. Connected using headphone jack placed just behind TV speakers Sounds Great. And for 9.99 a steal for a great upgrade.

Non matching audio
December 28, 2013
There are several factors that are suspect when it comes to delayed audio. HD pictures have more of an issue. It could be the cable box on your tv or whatever you use to watch TV. If you change the channel, does it do it on another one? Also check the Dynex site for firmware updates to your TV as they release updates which solve problems with the TV since the original release of the unit. Its upgradeable through a port called the Service Port so check out Dynex website for more details.

Needs longer cable
By Harrier from Huntsville, AL
Would be outstanding product if the cable length were longer than the approximate 24". Does not work with a tower sitting below desk. Had to move tower onto desk. I'm guessing it was designed for use with laptop, but it was only non-wireless mouse Best Buy had. Cable length is only flaw. This cheap mouse is holding up strong to daily auto dealership sales associate abuse.

Best price for a starter Anroid smartphone
By RockyRoadIC from San Diego, CA
This is a good backup phone in case something happens to your main one. Surprising features that are included in this phone: mobile hotspot, visual voicemail, and wifi calling.
It may not be able to handle all of your apps (Candy Crush cannot run on it) but it should help tide you over until you replace your main phone.
The phone was unable to handle more than one available wifi channels. My home has two: an unrestricted one and a restricted one for the kids. When I set up both connections on the phone, the phone could not decided which one to connect to and ended up dropping my wifi connection altogether. I resolved the issue by deleting the second connection and now it works fine.
Don't expect too much from this phone especially at the price that you're getting it for and you won't be disappointed. You have two weeks to return it if you're not happy (do not peel off the plastic on the screen so you can return it).

Not every game will run on it
May 31, 2015
Not every game will run on it as I said in my review. Most games will run. If you find your game will go slow, you should reduce the detail. If you don't have a good enough frame rate the game might not be meant for that graphics chip. Every person who attempts to game on it should seek out the forum of the game that they are playing and ask around. My review was based solely on experience and did not test every game out.

Screen rotation
November 13, 2015
The Alcatel One Touch Pixi Glitz also suffers from the same issue. There is no accelerometer and no screen rotation. Some apps will detect this and display the games in the right format but others that will depend on that feature will crash the phone. Not a big deal to me since the only apps I use are radio streaming apps and some games that are not dependent on that feature.

Excellent phone for the price!
By hockeycanuckjc from Citrus Heights,CA
After trying different phones, etc, I have finally found the perfect phone that did not cost too much money. This phone has 2GB internal memory and after you update all the apps you are left with about 1.1gb of memory to store apps. You can also move various apps to the SD Card and have more storage. It even has a built in FM Radio which the box does not list. You have to have a headphone set plugged in to listen to it.
Speed wise and performance wise, it has a great battery life and is very responsive on all fronts when using apps like Angry Birds and Hit it Rich Slots. Battery life is pretty impressive.
The few drawbacks to this phone is that the My Account App never displays the right balance, and to check your balance you have to dial in a code to your phone to check it. Kind of a setback. But once I restarted the phone it worked correctly. Just a hit and miss.
But for the price I paid this is a pretty awesome phone. And it was on sale the day after I bought it, so Best Buy easily applied the price match to my order to get the sale price. Enjoy this phone. I am enjoying it too.

Activation
November 14, 2015
Technically, you only need to activate it if you want to use it with a cell phone plan. The lowest plan you can subscribe to is $9.99 a month and you get 150 minutes, 150 texts and 150mb of data that rolls over from month to month if you have any left over at the end of the month.
If you plan on using it over wifi only, say to use apps or games, you don't have to activate it and it would make a killer iPod Touch alternative. You don't need an active cell plan to dial 911 either.

Can you get live sports like Jays and Leafs? I heard you can purchase basic tv package with it?

There are major premium networks you can subscribe to like NHL Center Ice through the official app. You will need to sign up for NHL.com and a Center Ice package in order to stream hockey games on your TV. This is subject to blackout rules just like the television games played online.

The wireless capability lets you connect to your home network to stream movies and television shows without the need for expensive cable subscriptions, while the included remote lets you control the device from anywhere within range. This Roku Express streaming player turns every TV into a smart TV.
 

Does the Roku Express Steaming media player get 5G? I currently have Roku 2XS and it will not pick up my 5G signal (and therefore will not play my STARZ channel). I need a Roku that can access 5G wifi.

I'm not sure why you would need a 5ghz band to stream HD content for Starz. I had used the app Fandango now to stream Moana in HD and I was connected to the 2.4ghz band the whole time without lag. If you're finding constant dropouts while using the 2.4 ghz band consider changing the radio channel for your router to see if that helps.

Bring the power of Google directly to your fingertips with the Google Pixel. A large 32GB of storage keep data secure, while unlimited cloud storage transfers data as needed, and it's completely automatic. The large 5-inch screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 4 to ensure the Google Pixel remains scratch-free.
 

I want to order the Pixel to my Hotel (I'll stay in NY for a few days next week), BUT a signature is required for delivery of this item. Any idea on how can this work?

There is one way but you must sign up for the carriers online delivery account and waive your rights against the shipper to leave the item without a signature. This can be very dangerous so I would suggest that you find a friend that lives in that area and have it delivered to them.

Also if you live an an international area and not in the USA, the phone is not guaranteed to work in an international locale.

Hello, Is it sim free version? If it is not, will it be available to preorder?

A Verizon postpaid SIM is inside the box but I activated my device on Tracfone using their own SIM. The device is not carrier locked.

When you preorder the phone for retail you pay 699$. Do I also pay tax on the 699$ because than it would be over 730$. Or is the 699$ with tax?

Phones are subject to local sales tax. Your tax rate will vary depending on what are a you live in.
