    Bypass battery on HP Stream 7

    The battery on my HP Stream 7 has gone bad and to be honest I don't use the tablet enough to justify a replacement battery. I tried removing the battery and just plugging the tablet up to a power source but it won't power on, so I'm thinking I may need to create a jumper to bypass the empty...

    Cases for my Stream 7

    Picked up an official HP Stream 7 Case (Blue) yesterday at the local Microsoft store for $5 (bundle deal with a screen protector also $5...so $10+tx for both) - sales girl goofed so very unlikely the deal is replicate-able. I'm still thinking I like the Fintie case better because of the magnets...

    required apps!

    Awesome! ...did not realize that they released a Windows Phone version finally as it still was not there last time I checked. Now to figure out how to use my Windows Store credit instead of it being charged to my phone. Is there any way to run Windows Phone apps on the Stream 7? It's amazing...

    required apps!

    Just started in on installing stuff on my Stream 7 - ...so far I've only installed the following: mSecure by https://msevensoftware.com/ ($19.95 Win, Desktop version...I don't like their 'Metro' version) - it's (mostly) cross platform and syncs all my passwords via Dropbox from my PC, iPad...

    HP Stream 7 (or any Win 8.1 Tab) - saving files to SD card.

    Thanks for the feedback, definitely food for thought...just trying to plan ahead a little for space. Now we worry about Gb's of available space not being enough - my first HD was 10Mb I think :D

    HP Stream 7 (or any Win 8.1 Tab) - saving files to SD card.

    Looking for some input here... Just got an HP Stream 7 yesterday and haven't really played with it much yet as I'm debating on how to set it up... I threw a 64Gb SD card in and formatted it to NTFS and am thinking about changing the default save location for ALL files (documents, music, video...

    Nokia Lumia 635 (concerns)

    Yup, after AT&T provisioned the SIM, everything sees to be working now (hotspot, LTE). I do have some random issues with the screen dimming where I have to toggle the power button to bring the screen back to full brightness.

    Nokia Lumia 635 (concerns)

    My HTC One M7 was getting LTE just fine It's a GoPhone but I'm using a standard postpaid SIM. I was using GPS though... I did reset the phone and contacted AT&T CC - they checked the account and it showed I had an iPhone (which is strange since I previously had an HTC One M7) - they reset...

    Nokia Lumia 635 (concerns)

    Picked up a Nokia Lumia 635 yesterday (GoPhone with Pre-paid AT&T Sim), so today was my first full day with my new device... A few thing I have experienced so far that have me concerned... 1 - Tucson, AZ is an LTE market but the phone never budged off of the 4G indicator, and running speed...

    Nokia does not deserve my business...

    This is the main reason I returned phone number 3..was concerned that over time it might allow dust to accumulate in the interior of the phone or other problems. ...now on phone number 4 which was a refurb'd replacement from AT&T which arrived with a small scratch in the screen. The screen...

    Text Messaging "locking / freezing" phone?

    Thank you for the reply...one more consistent issue though and I'm through with Nokia and possibly even WindowsPhone. ...I'm on my fourth handset and I don't even know how many hard resets. Getting tired of having to setup my phone over and over.

    Text Messaging "locking / freezing" phone?

    ...wondering if anyone else has experienced this. When texting the phone will "lock/freeze" and I have to hit the power button to lock/unlock the phone and then I can complete and send the text? I performed a soft reset and haven't had the issue since but thought I would check if anyone else...
