Well it doesn't seem to run that hot anymore once I unplug the charger. Are you not supposed to leave it plugged in? I asked this in the last post. You might have missed it.

That is a big no no Winston. My mother did this, and her battery eventually died, and now she has to keep it plugged in all the time.Winston wrote:Well it doesn't seem to run that hot anymore once I unplug the charger.

Also the keyboard is weird in that I often have to push a lot of keys twice. And the bottom of the netbook is very hot, almost too hot to touch. Why is that? Is that normal for a netbook?
- I got a high end Nokia Lumina smart phone for Dianne. It uses Windows 8. How does that compare to Android? Does it have the same apps? Will most website apps work on it?
- I got a problem with my Sony XPeria smart phone. The internal memory is only 500 MB. I thought that didn't matter because I could just install my apps on the SD Card. But that doesn't seem to be the case, because every app you install uses some of the internal memory. The thing is, most of the internal memory is already used up by the default apps that came with it. So I can only install a few apps before the internal memory maxes out and refuses to install anything. So it doesn't even matter how big my SD Card is. Is that f***ed or what? What can I do about that? Why did Sony XPeria give the phone so little internal storage? The Nokia Lumina phone I bought for Dianne has 8GB of internal storage.
Thanks.

There are no refunds in the Philippines. Only exchanges. Didn't you know that? This is not the US.
Actually, my phone's storage says that I only have 300 MB internal memory total. So 700 MB must be already used up by the system that doesn't even show up. Weird. And so stupid too.
So why is it that you can leave a PC plugged in constantly but not a laptop or netbook?
If you use the laptop battery, it reduces the battery life.Winston wrote:Wait a minute. Dianne just told me that you can power your laptop by removing the battery and plugging in the AC adapter. Is that true? I didn't know you could do that. I thought the battery had to be in for it to work? I didn't know you could remove it and plug in the adapter. Why didn't someone tell me this before? Sheesh. Are you supposed to do that whenever a power outlet is available?
Netbooks already passed their prime in the US. Nowadays everyone is buying tablets wether is iPad or Android based tablets. To me the tablet still doesn't replace the computer cause unlike normal laptops you can't add more space on a tablet like you can on a normal computer by just changing the hard drive and changing the ram. Also winston you should check online retailers like tigerdirect or newegg to find laptops at a good price.Winston wrote:Yesterday at Best Buy, I could not find any netbooks. The staff told me that netbooks are no longer sold in US stores. Is that true? If so, why? They are still popular in Asia.
So in the US, you either choose between an expensive laptop, or a tablet that you can't do serious work on because it's a pain in the a** to type on, that I'd have to get an external keyboard for? That's stupid.
There are many free programs that can recover deleted videos, photos and files. But you have to do is ASAP before you write anything in the empty space. The erased files are still there in the empty space, but scrambled. If you write more files to the disk space, it will be harder to recover the data. So do it ASAP.Johnny1975 wrote:Rather than starting a thread, I'd like to ask a question here.
I accidentally deleted a video that I made on my iphone 4 and I need to recover it. How do I do it? I tried iTunes and some other programs but nothing worked.
What did you see when you ran it? Did it show a list of files that are recoverable? Did you see a video extension on any of them? You can usually preview the recoverable files. The interface is easy to use. Did you read the help menu in the program? If Recuva doesn't work, try another one. If you haven't written any more data to the phone since you erased the video, the chances are very good that you can still recover the file. But video files are big so they may be a little more difficult to recover.Johnny1975 wrote:Thanks Winston. I just tried Recuva but when I saw the results, I couldn't make head or tail of it. I need to recover the video from my phone. Do either of those programs do that?
Winston wrote:Momopi,
My netbook works nicely. But it is really slow. If I have more than two tabs open in my browser, it starts to hang and drag and pause for long periods. Everyday I lose hours waiting for it to stop hanging and pausing. So my question is: Are all netbooks like this? Is there one that's faster if I pay more? If so, which one do you recommend? And no I don't want a Mac so don't suggest that.
I don't want to carry a big laptop around when I go overseas because it takes up a lot of space and weight. My netbook is very lightweight and small and ideal. If it wasn't so slow and taking so long to load everything, it would be perfect.
