It's not universal for all phones
on December 21, 2015
Posted by: albea
from Edgewater, FL
While the ad seems to promise universal success with any phone, it is not. It worked with an old iPod touch I own but not my HTC Desire android phone.
I am able to use it by extending my countdown to 10 seconds but it does not work with the button on the handle. I contacted Dynex to see if I was doing it right and they said it must be defective and to take it back to the store for replacement. The associate checked it with his phone and all it did was zoom, no pictures. I replaced it and the new one acts the same way - works only with an Apple product but not an android phone. I got it on Cyber Monday for $4, so it's no big deal but if you pay full price you might be disappointed if you are using something other than an Apple product. Just change your countdown to a longer period so you can set up the shot and you'll be able to use it.

Enjoying dancing even if I'm not very good at it

Bought this to replace dancedance pad from my old xbox. The dances are fun, if just silly for an old lady like me to be doing but it will keep me young. I used to do quite a bit of aerobic dance but the city where I live now doesn't have many facilities like what I left behind. This is a great replacement as I can just work at my own speed and laugh at myself when I screw up. Good for the soul.
I'm not worried about doing the moves correctly (which I find almost impossible for now) but I'm sure I'll get better with practice. I'm enjoying the workout.

Necessary for the games I want to do

Once I got past the setup, all has been fine. The problem was the store sold me a Kinnect that was not the right one for the xBox I bought at the same time. The store was out of the package deal they had advertised and I had to buy each piece separately. I called in to Microsoft for help and they wanted me to send it back, saying it must be defective. But then it showed it was working, all the right lights showing, just not with this xBox. They walked me through the fix and now all if just great. So if the store doesn't have the package, walk away and go somewhere that you can be sure to get the products that are meant to mesh.

Not sure why there are so many languages to choose from, maybe so kids can be exposed to a new language? I tried some - makes me laugh out loud to hear something like Bear Neccessities in French. But having to choose a language almost every song slows me down too much. I'd like to see a way to set up a default and keep it more or less permanently. Also it is sometimes hard to make it recognize my hand to get the selection I want. Might be that my fan is distorting the signal to the Kinnect? But not really a problem, I still give it great high scores as a product.

I finally upgraded to this to do dance when my dancedance pad for the old xbox wasn't working well. I sort of miss the dancedance pad (haven't looked to see is xbox 360 has one) but the two dance packages I got are challenging and fun. The xbox itself surprised me when I found that the games I'm doing with the xbox show up on my new pc as 'achievements' records. I don't do the part where I share with friends as I really don't know anyone in my circle who uses one. I'm also enjoying the Adventures games that came with it, great workouts and challenges for quick reactions. Not too hard for a 67 year old but not too easy, either. I like the challenge, good workouts.

Results not really what they claim

The brush has several different adjustments claiming to do different things. But they all seem to work the same except for some lasting longer than the standard 30 seconds per quadrant. They never really explain how to best use the extra time on some of the settings. I don't think my teeth are really any whiter from using this brush.

response to comment from bahengs Ohio
January 5, 2016
Odd that neither Dynex nor BestBuy customer services suggested this fix. Oh, I guess that's because what bahengs Ohio suggests is not a valid fix, and so is not 'operator error'. My phone is set to take pictures, not zoom with volume buttons. The selfie stick does not work with my phone. Dynex agreed that it might not work with some phones as is the case with my problem. I will continue to use the countdown method and suggest that others who have the same problem I did use their countdown set on 10 seconds so you have time to get in to the picture.

Only at Best BuySnap group photos and unique selfies easily with this Insignia™ NS-SSTK2B selfie stick, which extends from 11" to 36.5" and swivels in 7 different directions for flexible placement. The top clip and face-in design offer simple access to your device.
 

My shutter button fell out of the rubber case and got lost. Can I get a replacement?

If it's still in the BestBuy return window you can return it and get a replacement - probably not in stock but they will send you a new one. Otherwise, I think the Dynex warranty is one year - in that case, contact Dynex.

Does the holder fold down over the stick for more compact carry?

Yes, it does fold down to make it more compact.
