Re: now....or LATER.....?!....that darn iPhone still befuddled by Daylight Savings time.... - 9 years ago
Interestingly, my BB Storm, whilst NOT connected to any network or wifi (I use it for my alarm clock as my house power is unreliable), still sprang ahead one hour. And of course, my Droid X changed appropriately as expected. "Droid Does"by neophyte - Tips and Deals
Re: Ok. Shuttle is done. End of era. Move along - 9 years ago
QuotePaul F. The solid rocket boosters have thrust termination charges to open a port up front (near the nose), but those reportedly were not fired until nearly 20 seconds after the Challenger impacted the external tank and came apart from the dynamic pressures. Yes. I watched that flight from a 4th story window in Tampa, a nearly horizontal view. In my minds eye I still see a "Y" -by neophyte - Tips and Deals

Where - finds movie theaters/show times, gas prices, food, drink, etc; Droid-Mania's widgets (Silent Toggle and Brightness); K9 Mail - easily sets up and handles multiple email addresses in separate inboxes; Ringdroid - cuts songs into ringtones; Zedge - more ringtones than you can go through in a lifetime. All of these are free.by neophyte - Tips and Deals

OT: Buying home raised chicken eggs - 9 years ago
So the nice 10 yo girl across the street has a hen or two, and is selling the brown eggs. Wifey wants to be agreeable because this girl also watches our cats when we go away. Fine, its only $2-3 a dozen. Even if we throw them out its OK. But what are the risks if we actually cook and eat them? Do grocery store-bought eggs go through some sanitation procedure? Anything I can replicate at home? Orby neophyte - Tips and Deals

Re: SquareTrade Verizon iPhone 4, 2 yr warranty for $81, today is the last day - 9 years ago
Grateful - You can get insurance thru VZW for $9.18 a month, standard one year warranty, with a deductible of $169 for the 16GB model or $199 for the 32GB model. This insurance covers lost, stolen, and broken in any way (liquid damage, dog bites it, drops out the window, etc.). And all of your lines will be eligible for promotional pricing for new phones after 20 months into the contract, not 2 yby neophyte - Tips and Deals
Re: Alias 2 vs. Mac - 9 years ago
Quotebazookaman Again. Why is this stuff so difficult??? Because its a Verizon Wireless phone. They have always made it difficult to get data out via Bluetooth, locking it down to transfer sound only. You were lucky BitPim worked on your ENV. Which, by the way, many found that the battery was slightly loose and would slide just enough once in a while to suddenly power down the ENV. A little taby neophyte - Tips and Deals

Re: CDMA iphone for other carriers? - 9 years ago
Quotestephen I wonder about Alltel in my parents' town, which may or may not be owned by Verizon now. It's confusing. That should be easy to determine. Who's their monthly bill from? If they were taken over, it'll say Verizonwireless. If not, it'll say who their current carrier is.by neophyte - Tips and Deals
Re: How to hit your cellular 5 GB data cap in under an hour - 9 years ago
Er, no, not phone use. Computer use. These are data plans for Mifis and USB modems. And I have never seen anyone use 80GB of data in 2 hours even if the throughput speed allows it. Sure, you can use it up in a month if you use streaming apps (videos, on line games, streaming radio). Keep in mind these devices are not meant to replace your home internet (wired) service, which has much greater capaby neophyte - Tips and Deals
Re: How to hit your cellular 5 GB data cap in under an hour - 9 years ago
If you pay $50 for the first 5GB, then continue to pay $10 for every GB thereafter, how is that a "cap"? It's the same rate... And its only $2 more per GB than the first 10GB for $80. Not such a ridiculous overage, IMHO.by neophyte - Tips and Deals

Re: How long until the "Verizon Sucks" threads? - 10 years ago
Verizon has always sucked, according to some. However, Verizon Wireless on the other hand, well, see how customers stack it up against other carriers in the January issue of Consumer Reports. OK, I'm biased. VZW works well for me, and the only other carrier I've ever had was Alltel. My Droid X works well.by neophyte - Tips and Deals

Re: Verizon to offer unlimited data to iPhone, says Wall Street Journal - 10 years ago
I have no info on the iPhone coming to VZW. However, VZW's voice plans are the same as AT&T's in terms of minutes/cost per month. VZW does not have roll-over minutes. VZW has 2 data packages for smart phones/PDAs/Droid phones: unlimited for $29.99/month and $15 for 150MB/month. The unlimited is just that: unlimited data for the phone itself.

G4 Laptop Battery Replacement - $ or $$$? - 10 years ago
Soliciting thoughts on replacing my 6 year old G4 15 inch Powerbook battery, which died suddenly at 99 cycles (not unusual it seems for the Apple replacement batteries sent out several years ago). The NewerTech batteries sold by our sponsor are probably very good, albeit high $$$. For half the price, others are available. Might one of those last 2-3 years?
