This item works great when connected to a micro-usb for set up, but once installed the wifi disconnects within 30 minutes and won't reconnect! My wifi signal strength is strong, the DC voltage through the wiring is correct and everything checks out...it just won't stay connected. One would expect it to at least function as a doorbell, but after a few days, it randomly started "ringing" our doorbell at various times throughout the day and then 1 time for 15 minutes straight at 2 AM until I could disconnect it. The picture and sound are clear when it works, the problem is it doesn't work consistently.

This unit will play DVD's, Blu-Ray, HDR (4k Ultra) and CD's and from a USB device or network media server. The setup is easy and it can connect to your network via an ethernet cable or wireless. It also has Bluetooth and will connect to paired headphones or speakers! The volume control on the remote is not universal, and it will only connect to 14 of the main TV brands. It also has built-in apps for Amazon Prime Video, Netfix and YouTube

A must have for Chromebooks & Windows Ultralights!

I have a high-end Chromebook that I love, but I was limited by what I could do if I didn't have access to wifi for file transfers, internet, and video/screen sharing! This multimedia dock solves all of my problems! It plugs into your USB-C port and has an HDMI port, 2 standard USB ports, a card reader, Ethernet port and a pass-through USB port for power! This is by far the most useful computer accessory I've ever purchased, and it's very compact!

This can be a great stand-alone speaker or part of a series of "party" speakers! The sound is fantastic and adjustable via the mobile application! The battery life is really good and you can stand the speaker on end or lay it flat! It connects to other Sony speakers so they play in "party mode", and has adjustable flashing lights for a party atmosphere. Long battery life and water resistance only make it better!

Fantastic cookware set with a minimal footprint!

from Chicago, IL
This is a "chef quality" cookware set that has the added benefit of being able to be stored in a very small space! The pans are "solid" without being heavy and next well together with no risk of any damage to the finish. Additionally, the lids are tempered glass and you can view what you're cooking without lifting the lid! The non-stick hard-anodized finish is great and I expect this set to last longer than I do!

I've always bought "cheap" iPhone cables after the OEM cable broke. And they worked...then they'd break..and I'd get another one. I scoffed at anyone that bought expensive cables that they'd break or lose just like my "cheap" one. To begin with...this cable isn't going to break! It's the stiffest/flexible/toughest cable I've owned to date!? But cables are designed to charge so with my old cable on a 30 minute drive to work running the Waze app with the screen on...my phone would charge 4% on average...with this cable it charges 17% on average. No more cheap cables for me! This cable is the best!

Capture your adventures with this Rexing dash cam. It has dual Full HD cameras and 170-degree wide-angle lenses to record high-quality footage of the road and inside the car. This Rexing dash cam has secure recording technology to ensure footage is locked if you're in a collision.
Posted by: IndyTechGuy
from Chicago, IL
This is a mid-level dash cam that includes a front and rear camera in the unit. While it doesn't have an internal GPS receiver, it does have a plugin for an external unit. You can set it to loop record up to 6 minutes at a time, and will automatically save a loop if there's a "hard stop" or collision. You can also manually save a recording for future reference. A severe duty micro-sd card is recommended to the extended write read/write cycle capability. You can also "pair" the camera to a phone to effectively have a rear camera, with the understanding that the rear camera is mounted on the front window and has a wide angle of view. This can be operated off the internal battery or plugged into a car jack. Given the price, quality, features and functionality of this unit I highly recommend it.

Embellish your device with a functional attachment by using this black Speck GrabTab phone accessory. It’s compatible with most brands and cases, and the card-sized, flat design slips smoothly into your pocket. Use the hanging loop on this Speck GrabTab phone accessory as a grip for a secure hold or as a kickstand for hands-free viewing.
Posted by: IndyTechGuy
from Chicago, IL
This is by far the best finger grip/kickstand of any I've tried! It has a large adhesive area, is very lightweight, and folds completely flat when not in use unlike many of the "ring" attachments. It doesn't interfere with my car phone holder or "snag" on anything when I put it in or remove it from my jeans pocket! Fantastic product but you need a phone case with a large flat surface on the back unless you attach it directly to your phone

Portable, fast and long battery life! Dell hit it out of the park with this one! It's almost "instant on" like a Chromebook and with the Dell phone companion app once you pair your phone to it you can text and receive calls via your computer. Dell has limited their "bloatware" to what I consider really useful additions that for once I'm not going to delete. The keyboard and mousepad are very responsive, and there are plenty of ports for all devices! HDMI output for a larger screen and the ability to use the device as a tablet. For a portable powerhouse you can't go wrong!

I have a LOT of Bluetooth wireless earbuds and these are by far the most comfortable with the best battery life! With the companion app you can increase the battery life even further by turning off the active noise canceling. You can adjust the noise canceling based on whether you're in a kind of noisy environment or a very noisy environment! The sound quality for spoken word and music is great and the battery position keep the next piece in place.

Did you calibrate the device?

The instructions are clear that calibration is required for accurate tracking since everyone has different length strides. Did you calibrate it? If so...how much "off" was it?

Overall1 out of 5
1 out of 5Not a good phone
By BAronson
I bought this phone after reading the what seemed to be amazing reviews. I was slightly disappointed after the third day of having my phone when it would reset itself about 5 times a day due to it over heating. Bearing with it i kept the phone. The phone eventually stopped over heating but with that problem going away, another arose. the camera. No matter what you take a picture of it comes out grainy and slightly blurred. I, being a photographer, was highly disappointed at this. The battery power was another concern. I am on my phone for maybe, 2 hours total a day. My phone will be at 100% at 8 AM and by 10 AM it will be on 22% without me even using it yet. I turn on battery saver and it seems to make the battery die faster. I have now had the phone for a year, the phone now, will not display the keyboard and then after it being frozen for 5 minutes will completly restart and come back on and repeat the process over again. When the phone actually remains on it will consistently bring up the "Ok google" voice activation without me saying a word. Data and storage is not good. I am supposed to have nationwide data, but don't get it ANYWHERE through t mobile and the storage on my phone is constantly full even without any pictures or apps on it. Apps crash on a daily basis and the phone is very delayed (after pressing the home button, it is usual to have to wait a half minute before anything shows up). I would NOT buy this phone. I would spring for the slightly more expensive but oh so worth it LG Stylo. I had the stylo for 3 years and had no complaints about the phone at all. Very durable and very fast.

"I would spring for the slightly more expensive but oh so worth it LG Stylo. I had the stylo for 3 years and had no complaints about the phone at all. Very durable and very fast."
The LG Stylo was released in May of 2015...I'm confused as to how you could have had it for 3 years.
Statements like this make your review "suspect".

Hi! I'm new to gaming laptops and was wondering how well this would run RPG games such as Elder Scrolls Online? Thanks in advance
That's a pretty lightweight game when it comes to GPU use, so it should run just fine.

I would think they'd be a little small for a college age young woman!
