Video Rating: 5 / 5

www.bestbuymobile.com The Best Buy Mobile team demonstrates how to set the automatic brightness adjustment for your Blackberry screen. By doing so, your screen will automatically adjust its brightness based on your environment, thus extending your Blackberrys battery life. Austin Hi Im Austin, from Riverdale, Utah, today I want to show you a really cool feature of the BlackBerry to extend the battery life of your phone. One of the really cool functionalities of the BlackBerry is that it has an automatic back light dimmer. What that does for you, is it automatically adjust the brightness depending on where youre at. Its one simple step that will actually extend your battery life, maybe by one or two days depending on how long you use it. What you want to do is go into the main menu here and go over to your options menu. Once you select your options menu, look for the tab that says Screen/ Keyboard and you select screen and keyboard and what you do is come down to where it says Automatically Dim Back Light. Turn it on, exit out and youre all set up. So now, whether you stay inside, go outside, day or night, your BlackBerry is going to adjust the brightness according to your environment and what thats going to do for you is save on your battery life and extend your phones performance.

Question by confusedBoi: Buying a nice cell phone without a contract for cingular. any tips?
I am a senior in high school. going on to college next year. This phone will be my college phone. i currently have a sim card from cingular(AT&T). but i dun’t have text as of now. Which phones do you prefer? i was thinking blackberry. any suggestions or tips? what does it mean when it is unlocked or locked.

Best answer:

Answer by #1 Mustang Fan
If you are only planning to use it as a phone Blackberries are OK, but if you plan on using and data other than text messages they can be expensive as Blackberries require a seperate Blackberry data plan to do anything such as email or anything internet related, even ringtones. These data plans start at and go up. As far as an unlocked phone, again you need to be careful. The only thing that will be guaranteed is that it will make and receive calls. Any and all data can be a crap shoot with unlocked phones. We can sometimes get some data working but not others. It really depends on what you are planning to use them for.

Question by unean_amigo: What are the advantages of using a Macbook over a Windows laptop? Is it really better than Windows?
I am about to go abroad for graduate studies and searching for a new notebook. My old laptop was an Acer that has Vista OS. I’m considering changing to a Macbook, but I am unsure. Your tips would be helpful.

Best answer:

Answer by Mercuri
The only reason to get a Mac is if you like Mac OS and want to run Mac-only software. Otherwise, there’s no reason to get a Mac as there are no advantages to it other than the fact that you get to use Mac software (at the cost of being able to run Windows software conveniently)

The Laptop Fever Problem

devirkahan.com – On this episode of TechKnowledgey I talk about a problem everyone with laptops has: The Laptop Fever Problem. Laptops are just not meant to get too hot, the problem is that everyday use causes them to heat up. This can significantly reduce the life of your notebook computer. So what’s a TechKnowledgist to do? Enter, Laptop Lifts from laptoplifts.com which is what I truly believe to be, even more so than all those cooling pads, the solution to the Laptop Fever Problem.

Question by rammoosh: A Toshiba laptop tips on battery?
I have a Toshiba L40-137. It’s quite new but it doesn’t seem to last longer than an hour when I remove the power cable. Is that the way it should be?

The problem is that the laptop manual is all in German so I couldn’t understand how to deal with it. Could somebody please tell me how to charge it, what bottons to press and so on?

I’m new to laptops in general. So, any tips you can share with me?

Thanks in advance

Best answer:

Answer by tuaamin13
To maximize laptop battery power, you should:

+Eliminate all programs in the background that are unnecessary (ie a webcam manager, when you don’t actually have the webcam connected)
+Turn down the brightness (normally it’s a keyboard combination, like FN plus up or down)
+Enable “maximize battery” or whatever preset that came installed on the PC. My girlfriend’s Toshiba had one that you could press FN and the key with the lightbulb icon and it changed modes from Max to normal to max battery to DVD.

Definitely check to make sure your battery is charging to maximum capacity. That Toshiba I mentioned once had a lemon battery that would only charge to 33%. Bestbuy, where she bought it and got a replacement plan for it, allows for 1 battery replacement per year or something like that. New dual core processors, especially mobile ones, should last at least 2-3 hours on battery.

To charge the laptop, simply plug in the laptop while it’s off or on. Nothing else required. If it’s off, the battery will charge faster, but the battery charges in like 2-3 hours while on too. Most lithium ion batteries do a “spurt” charging, where it charges to ~85% in 1 hour, then trickle charges the other 15% in another hour or so.

You can probably find the laptop instructions online. Just search for the laptop model.

Question by Marko Charmed Fan: Good tips for a new laptop user?
So, I plan on buying myself a laptop, and I wonder if you have any tips since I don’t know much about laptops. How much should (can) I use him a day?

I heard I can also have problems if I don’t clean him (which of course I don’t know how to do)… So, what are some tips and advices you would give me?

Best answer:

Get an antivirus – even a free one like Avira Personal helps. The one that comes with your laptop is only a 30 days trial.

Never put your laptop on a blanker or carpet otherwise it may overheat.

Answer by xmyspazz
call Apple and see if they can replace the battery or whatever… if it voided your warranty you could go buy a battery and replace it yourself… there is a book called How To Do Everything With Your iPod and iTunes and it teaches you how to replace the battery yourself. If it is an old iPod (4th gen or below) I would suggest you get a new one. If the battery replacement doesn’t work then you need a new iPod.

I’ve been getting blue screen crashes in XP, and found out that it may be due to a faulty wireless driver. When I tried to download a newer driver for 2200 BG from Intel, I got a zipped folder, and none of the .exe files seem to install new drivers.

u will need to manually install the drivers from the device mgr in the control panel. first extract the folder to the desktop in a folder and then goto the device mgr in the control panel by double clicking on system then clicking on device mgr. and chosing it to search the folder that you created on the desktop. hope this helps.

Answer by Red F
Not everyone activated their iPhones on the same day, and instead took them away to be unlocked. AT&T have made sure this won’t happen this time and you’ll need to activate it with them:

Best answer:

Answer by Vince D
Well, for me, i try to save up my money to get the earthquake asap. in the meantime, i purchase a lot of ice towers and 2 or 3 magic tower. the key isn’t the more tower the better but rather the more upgrade the better. so i try to upgrade my towers especially the ice because the ice tower inflicts 100 damage (if it is upgraded to 3 stars) and it slows down the demon. the slower the demon the more shots you can shoot at him.
All in all, i use about 2-3 magical towers (upgraded to 3 stars) and 4-5 ice towers (upgraded to 2-3 stars) and 1 earthquake(upgraded at 3 stars) to beat all 43 levels. so good luck!

I’ve done system restore, and i’m not quite sure what that does! Thanks in advance!

Best answer:

Answer by Jorden
System restore restores your system to a different state that it was in before which means that whatever programs where on there now will be deleted and the CPU would think they never existed. ok now to answer your Question. you can do a disk clean up and a disk defragmenter. a Disk clean up cleans up your disk and cleans it by deleting stuff that isn’t needed. disk defragmenter fixes fragments on your computer that cause it to slow down. that pretty much all you can do to make it faster other than deleting things you dont need. the way to get to both of the things are by going to my computer an Right clicking on the hard drive disk (Local disk C:) then click on properties which is at the bottom of the tab thing then you come to the properties page. then you click on tools which should be right next to the tab your on then you will see disk clean up and disk defragmenter. then you will be set to go. it should help a little bit. your welcome

*HotHardware* Synopsis: The 13? Macbook Pro features Apple’s uni-body enclosure that is carved from a solid block of aluminum for added durability. The machine also features a LED-backlit screen with a higher color gamut than most notebooks, a backlit keyboard, and a 7 hour battery that actually lasts about 7 hours, which reaffirms Apple’s reputation of advertising realistic battery life claims. A number of other features like a built in iSight webcam, a Superdrive (CD/DVD reader and writer), a Magsafe power adapter and for the first time for Apple a built in SD card reader–all in a package that’s about 4.5 pounds–make this one heck of an attractive little notebook. The one we tested was the lower end model equipped with a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 1066MHz frontside bus and 4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 memory. This Spec: 13.3?

Unfortunately, it will be a long time before Verizon has a Blackberry that supports WiFi. However, the Tour will be the best Blackberry to date. It won’t experience the problems that the Storm has, since this type of device isn’t something new to RIM. It is a combination of all of the Blackberrys out there with a crystal clear display, great camera, great speed, and great features. You really can’t go wrong with this phone…

It depends, they last quite awhile, but they are not as powerful as windows computers. If you are looking for speed, look at windows, if you are looking for stability and reliability look for mac.

Question by Apple&Banana: What are some tips for buying a good laptop?
What are some good brands and features that i should be shopping for? Hoping to spend between 500-900 dollars only. Please help

Best answer:

Answer by Brian F
If you are going to have Vista on it, make sure you have at LEAST 2 GB of ram. Intel Core2 duo will be faster than AMD athlon/turion. Core2 will also have better battery life and run cooler…

Lenovo will cost a little more, but have better keyboard and be a little more rugged than most others.

Smaller/lighter will cost more for the same performance. netbooks (those little 10 inch screen pc’s that are cute, small, light, have very SLOW processors… Intel ATOM processors are most defintiely NOT in the same class as a Core2 or even an AMD processor… do NOT think that the “speed” of a CPU (Ghz) has ANY reflection on the actual speed of the computer!

Intel wireless network cards in a machine are generally more reliable and better performing than atheros cards.

Just a few generalizations… :)

How to Install Windows 7 on MacBook Pro [the proper way]

www.youtube.com This video will teach Mac users how to install Windows 7 using the BootCamp app. Please follow the steps carefully, as many users run into problem by installing as if it was a normal PC installation. There are several important steps that are intrinsic to BootCamp, that otherwise would not be done on a Windows installation on a PC. You’ll be required to have these ready: Mac system plugged to a power source, Windows 7 installation disc, Mac OSX installation disc, internet connection, and at least an hour of free time. I redacted a lot of the loading times and system reboots from the video to keep it as short as it can be without feeling rushed. I hope this will help a lot of Mac users. I personally do not have a preference between the two operating systems; I like both. Having both OSes on a sleek, sexy system is a win-win situation for me, any day. Click on the link to purchase the Apple MacBook Pro MC374LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop on Amazon at lower price than retail: www.amazon.com Here is the link to purchase the hard drive I used in the video: www.amazon.com Please subscribe and watch my upcoming videos on this sleek notebook.

Question by afropete14: Tips on which MacBook to buy.?
I will be buying a MacBook pretty soon but I want some input into what people think I should get. I will either get the 1.83 GHz processor 512 MB of Ram 60 GB hard drive with the combo drive(cd burner/ dvd player) or i will get the 2 GHz processor 1 GB RAM 80 GB hard drive and a Super drive(cd and dvd burner). Which one do you think I should get?

Also do you think the 2 Ghz processor would be noticeably better than the 1.83 Ghz?

Lastly which of the upgrades do you think would be the most benifical(ranking from greatest to least would be nice)?
In response to Mr. None’s comment the 1.83 Ghz is a duo core 2 also, just check Apple.com.

Best answer:

Answer by .hartless
I recommend the 2ghz processor, 1GB of RAM, and the 80gb HDD. I have a 80gb and I peak at about 50gb, with about 30gb unused, although your needs may be different. The most noticeable upgrade would be the faster processor and more RAM. And of course, get the SuperDrive.
