Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Technology question. So my laptop is dead according to the HP repair site and I don't know when I'm going to be able to afford to get another.
I have a galaxy S5 Note phone, the one with the stylus . Is there some kind of usb plug in, is there some kind of keyboard that I can plug into it so that I can type without it taking hours and without me making 8 zillion mistakes?
I don't even know what I'm talking about, which is why I'm asking you guys. Anyone have a clue about how I can find a keyboard thing to attached to my phone so I can use it to type on a little better while I'm waiting to save money to get a laptop? I'm desperate here.
You can pair your S5 with a bluetooth wireless keyboard.
Any bluetooth keyboard would work but something like this [link]
would probably be the most helpful because of the built in stand. Any bluetooth keyboard will work but most don't have a way to hold the device itself so you'd end up propping your phone up on something.
Thanks, askye! I'll head out to Best Buy after Dan gets back from his interview, so I can kind of hands-on check it out. But it looks like a good contender until I can save up the money for a laptop.
I wonder if Best Buy has any coupons? I think I'll go Google that.
They usualy don't but they will price match - like Amazon as long as it's shipped and sold by amazon. Or most major retailers. Not weird "discountcrazyprice" website places. It aslo has to be the same make and model and the actual webpage not a screen shot.
You magical person, you!!
Off to research!! Thanks so much! Xoxo
Depending on what you need to do you might be able to find a Chromebook for a pretty darn low price. That would be vastly better than a little keyboard like that on a phone for many uses.
Best buy has one for 150. [link]
Best buy dot com has a three day sale through Saturday.

Also, after that they will have free shipping on all online orders starting Sunday through January 2nd.

Is anyone else having issues with iPhone podcast app sleep setting? This is the second time it's happened. I put on a podcast to fall asleep to, and set it to sleep at end of current episode, only to have it playing when I wake up several hours later. It works fine on my iPad, but that's running iOS8. The iPhone is the most up-to-date iOS.
What made it weirder, is waking to hear NoiseDesign talking to me (he had a guest appearance on The Cue podcast). No offense ND, it was just weird to hear your voice first thing in the morning.
