These speakers are nothing fancy but sound spectacular. Very easy to set up and no interference from cell phones of microphone devices. Wouldn't use if you are an audiophile but to just listen to some tunes while you work or hopping on youtube, these speakers are perfect

Good but room for improvement

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to replace the BR30 lights in my hallway. The Philips Hue BR30 bulb works amazingly just like the A19 bulbs with the colors and brightness and transitions. My one complaint is it is slightly smaller than the generic Sylvannia LED BR30 bulbs I replaced, and does not fit as snuggly into the fixture as those ones. There is a slight gap that I must be mindful to clean now due to dust buildup.

very fast and compact portable hard drive. Purchased for my uncle's new Dell XPS computer and it very easily plugged in back and sets atop the tower out of site and out of mind. Pay attention when setting up if transfer files from your old PC to your new, it can be a little tricky if you miss the point to do so in the setup wizard.

Great product, cheap app
on November 10, 2017
Posted by: Nick

Verified Purchase:Yes
Belkin did a great job designing and developing the product however the accompanying application sucks and is extremely basic. I ultimately ended up buying a Samsung Smartthings Hub to control more ideally. The WeMo app allows for basic scheduling but not advanced automation and the nest integration is way less than desired basically just wants to piggyback off the presence sensor smh.

Bought to unify and control all of my smart devices under one control app. Hub does an awesome and detection is nearly instant and flawless however there is a learning curve with some of the more advanced automatons you may want to create or run, The basics are a cakewalk but beyond that gets a little tricky

Very light and very fast client just started switching my devices over from mcafee and no complaints so far. Love the concept of the definitions being backed to the web and not the device to prevent them from becoming compromised.

I traded my regular PS4 in for the Pro and it has been an awesome decision despite not being a hardcore gamer. I do not get the utilization as my Vizio 4k tv does not support HDR on HDMI (but does in iapp, wth?!?) nonetheless still makes a huge difference in picture quality. I watch a lot of movies on the Epix app in 4K since my cable service is only 1080i

if i buy a no contract sprint phone, will it be unlocked and can i use it with any other service? and is this a CDMA or GSM phone?

i would like too purchase a no contract phone and use it across the world as i travel frequently and if the frequency permits can i change the sim and use the same phone in different countries?

And is the phone CDMA or GSM.?? im looking for a GSM phone, as all the sim's i have of different countries are GSM sim's.
It will be locked for Sprint only activation. It is a multiband phone and will work on both CDMA and GSM. If you are travelling a lot, your best bet will be to buy an unlocked HTC One m9 directly from HTC.

Why does my phone not work in the United Kingdom

I recently bought a HTC Desire 510 whilst in the USA from Bestbuy , althought I never registered it in the usa, on my return to the UK , I now find that the phone will not work. How can I get the phone to work in the UK.
Your phone is locked for activation and will only activate on the American Sprint network. If you call Sprint and explain the circumstance, they may be able to unlock the phone for use on any network but they may not be willing to do this.

it says unactivated. does that mean it is unlocked to international gsm networks?

if not then will there be any charges for unlocking?
No. Unactivated means the phone is sold to you by Best Buy without your phone number actually being activated in it you would either need to call Verizon or go into the store to activate it. Verizon typically does not unlock phones. If you are a long time customer and do a lot of international traveling they will be more inclined to possibly do this for you but are much more likely to try to get you to pay to use a sister network like Vodaphone for increased cost. If you want a truly unlocked phone your best bet is to buy direct from Samsung, but Verizon pretty much has that same policy in reverse. My account came from an Air Touch account (so over 25yrs of service) and the only time I was ever able to have any of my phones unlocked at my request was when I was active duty Army and requested the unlock for a deployment.

WiFi - Connecting the HTC Desire 510 to my home internet

I've just bought the HTC 510 phone. When I select my home internet network from my HTC 510, I'm prompted for the network secure password, I enter the password, however I still receive an Authentication error...... I'm using the netowrk for my laptop with no issues.....!

Do you have an answer for this issue?

If I can't resolve it I will have to return the phone....

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Kind regards.

Phil.
If your home router has the option I would give the connect through WPS (push button) a chance. From your phone go to settings and tap into the wifi and networks menu (the label, not the on/off toggle) then press the menu button once the networks start to display from there select Connect through WPS (might be Connect using) then it should give a prompt with a timer for 30-90 seconds once this comes up press the button on with the two arrows on the front of your router and the two should find each other and connect without the password.

Depends on the condition of the phone. It will need to be inspected and appraised before you'll get an accurate number.

Is this phone waterproof?

Yes, but only submerged in up to 3feet of water for 30 minutes and this is still not a recommended activity. My buddy was given one from his work and we've been using it and the UE Boom at the river all summer and have not had any issues with either getting splashed or even dropped in the water.

when bought at best buy does it come with the $100 google play card or uh oh plan

Verizon has a promotion going for this plan. Are there any for this phone?
Yes, I just submitted my receipt for the $100 Google credit and per the rep I spoke with on the phone (missed a digit entering my IMEI on the website) said Best Buy was an approved retailer. As for the Uh Oh plan HTC is doing this with all of their new phones. It is pretty cool being able to go through them to get your screen fixed or phone replaced for water damage without an insurance claim, but it does not cover lost or stolen phones. I also have no idea how quickly they can do the replacements but still pretty revolutionary idea.
