Someone like me

Ok,I need someone who fits this description to tell me what they think. I'm a heavy,heavy internet user. I'm on simple mobile 60 dollar unlimited everything,even though the 50 dollar unlimited talk and text,100 MB of data would work for me,i don't like restrictions. But i don't get 3g with the captivate running t mobile service so i use wifi as i live in wifi heaven. I just ordered a laptop from Verizon,50 a month for 5 gigs,but i also have wifi. So would you keep paying 60 to simple mobile just to have it if you need it,or would you cut Down to 40 a Month unlimited talk and text,use wifi on the phone and use the laptop as your heavy duty internet source?

I would drop the simple mobile and rely on the wifi for your phone data. I'm a very heavy internet user, I spend several hours online a day. While the Captivate is a great for internet, there's no substitute for a full laptop.

I would keep the "50 dollar unlimited talk and text,100 MB of data" with the 100MB just in case I need to go to some area with no wifi

Yeah im stuck in between a rock and a hard place. I can't afford too much because im only 17,making minium wage and I got a baby due. So im trying to see what other people would do ya know? I figure if I don't pay no more than 100 a month for a phone,and a laptop then that's not too shabby because most contracts other than sprint are running people anywhere from 80 to 100 for unlimited anything. One question,the hp mini has a 1.6 ghz proccessor but I see where people say its not as fast as a full size laptop. Well if speed relied on the proccessor then wouldn't ya think 1.6 ghz would be blazing fast? I know some computers go waaay faster but it seems like that would be atleast as snappy as my cappy

HP mini runs an atom. N455 maybe? Im pretty sure that's a 1.6. Anyway, atoms pretty powerful. I can't say it'd be an i7 or an i3 for that matter, but its great for everyday computing and battery life. I suggest, if an HP mini is what you've gotten, that you add another gig of RAM. It makes a world of difference.

I have an idea. If you are working a minimum wage job with a baby on the way, get some priorities. Perhaps get rid of internet and smart phone and laptop? Goto a library if you need to get online. Its FREE! Quit screwing around online and improve your life so your kid has a better one. That will solve your online/money dilemma.

if u are a heavy internet user get the netbook and drop the data plan on your phone. i got my cappy with no 3G, wifi only and carry my acer aspire one almost everywhere i go. its more convenient especially if i need to RDP client PCs, nothing beats the full keyboard and larger screen for heavy internet usage

I've only done it on a desktop, but you just open it up, and place it in the slot. Google probably has a diagram of which slot is for ram on your laptop

Well look up the HP mini you ordered on HPs website and. You should be able to find a list of compatible RAM for the mini. From there, you could go to Best Buy, or buy from one of many online retailers. Usually, laptops and such will have a plate held in by a screw on the back where the RAM is housed.

When your laptop arrives go to crucial.com they have a program in there that auto detects your system and will give you an idea what memory upgrade your laptop needs and it's very accurate so you don't thinker around for the right memory module to buy.

Omg thank you for that.

Thanks for the info. I bought 4 apps included asphalt 6. It says device incompatible!? Why that?

Just got Minecraft: PE, for $0.10 USD. Thanks!

That asphalt game requires in game purchases, carp. But the minecraft iz awesome. Sketchbook is awesome and camera app is slick. But google, why you not update cheeseburgers yet?
edit: oh, there are new apps... my phone just wouldn't refresh. Looks like fruit slice, a kids storybook app thats kind of cool, flick golf... some others.

Spirit hd is amazing!!

Anyone else buy every single $0.10 app just because it was on sale?
Some really good ones popped up - I was a little upset about duplicate entries for some days, but I suppose it would be unfair to complain about that with the discount on some of those apps.
I had probably half of them already purchased at full price, which also sucked until I thought about having access to them before the sale hit.
What were your favorites?
Star chart has been my favorite app for a skymap, and I had it on one of my market accounts but it was nice to get it on my primary.
Heavy gunner is a ton of fun hooked up to a tv - I mentioned that one before, and Great little war game really is one.
Shine runner looks like a whole lot of fun - never heard of that one before, but with tv-out I can see that one being a blast.
Paper camera is really cool - probably the most used app I have out of the sale apps. I like the different effects (and even though I complain about doing graphics work) I like making collages of pictures of my lady and I, which she loves. Paper camera opens up some creativity options no other cartoon-type picture app has done as well.
It was good to get sketchbook mobile on my primary account as well, at ten cents didn't mind buying it again.
Asphalt 6 was a let down not being supported on this device - Gameloft has really been aggravating by not making their games compatible with the MT4GS. Some of them are really good, but even with emails to their devs and project managers that are polite and well written, I never get a response or anything. Oh well, suppose i'm just gonna have to write them off at this point - which is a shame.
Beautiful widgets and HD widgets were both good scores in my opinion, i'd never really gotten into widgets before but with running my own ROM now i'm developing an appreciation for people's love of widgets - to me they always seemed like resource hogs and not worth it, but my opinion is changing about this.
SimCity takes me back to my childhood - the very first game I ever modded back on a macintosh in 4th grade - I haven't had the chance to try it yet ( or most of these new ones ) what with my dev attention to other things - but it looks good.
Electronic arts has disappointed me with a lot of their offerings...the games just aren't quite what they should be, but i'm hopeful this one will turn out well.
I know there are some others i'd like to write about, but I really haven't had the chance to play with any of them yet so i'd like to hear what some of you think about the awesome sale Google brought us during the holiday season.
Looking forward to your reviews!

Currently addicted to Sentinel 3 right now. Trying to get past level 200 on endless lol. On feint, some people got to 350ish, it's crazy haha.

I definitely remember getting up there in levels - not sure what my feint score is but you can probably look me up ( same handle as here ).
Quick tip - slow is critical, and sniper towers are a much better investment then the blue electric ones ( forget what they're called )
Also, it's not worth going for distance on the endless modes until you unlock all the weapons and max out your commander.
love that game though - best tower defense on the market in my opinion.

Some Questions

Hi all I was thinking to buy a Smartwatch and I saw the new Sony Smartwatch 2 but I think 200 € its so expensive and it doesn't worth it just because nfc and little improvements so I'm looking to pick that one ( the "old" one).
But before buying it I'll like to know some things:
1- Is it really that difficult to conect the charger, do you have any tricks or something to have it in full contact and avoid disconections?
2-I've read all the informational posts and so and I'm a little bit scared of the influence of direct sun to the screen. I live in catalonia (Spain) and the sun brights a lot here so, am I going to have big problems to see the information into the watch?
3-Is there any important thing that I should know before purchasing it? I mean for example my galaxy note 2 is affected by something called SDS and can die at any moment.
well if you arrived here thanks for reading the whole post and thanks in advance for the answers.

1.I've recently picked up an orginal smartwatch... can't believe how shoddy the charging system is. the clip doesn't have enough pressure to keep the charger connected so i have a zip tie which will slide right off, holds enough pressure to let it charge without issue
2. if you have to, you can shield it with your hand and see it just fine.
3. nothing that ive discovered so far. it's working like a charm, but I think i'll get the 2 when it comes out. the springloaded clip really kills the stylish look that the watch otherwise has.

thanks! that's enough for me to pick it

I've a Galaxy Note II also. You need to disable all TTS services (samsung TTS and Google TTS) to get the notifications to work on applications like augmented smartwatch (recommended). It's an already known bug on samsung devices.
Send me a DM if you need to know more. Envíame un DM si necesitas saber más.

i think i did it without knowing it lol

I've used remotepc app with windows 8.1. I was only dicking around on it for a few minutes, but from what I could tell it worked pretty well. It's been a while since I've used splashtop, but I think navigation and controls were better with remotepc.
As for the dropbox account, a month or so ago I happened to notice my account jumped to 54 gigs out of nowhere. When I finally went online and checked what was going on, it was for some promotion for the galaxy note phone, I think. Thing is, I've never had a galaxy note phone. I have a galaxy s3. At some point I got the 50 gigs/2years promotion for using the dropbox app on my galaxy s3.
So, with the "2 years" thing, let's say that I filled up my 54 gigs with stuff. When 2 years rolls around, do I have to move all that data by a certain time or lose it? Or what..? Seems kind of like a **** move to give you 50 gigs for 2 years and then make you move it or have it deleted unless you pay to upgrade your account.
