  • Galaxy s2 - hands free through stereo?

    Hello

    I just purchased a FM transmitter / charger cradle for my vehicle to use with my Galaxy s2.

    Music works great but I'd like to take calls as well.

    When I take a call, I can hear the caller through the stereo [desired result] but they can not hear me.

    How might I accomplish using my stereo as a big speaker phone?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Motorola atrix 2 or samsung galaxy s 2?

    Im not a fan of asking these types of question but im not finding much on either of these handsets.

    I assume its because they are relatively new.

    I am going through amazon wireless with at&t to make my purchase.

    I've always been an HTC guy but now It seems the Competition for them is strong these days plus ive read the Inspire has pretty bad reception and i need it here in the foothills.My Last HTC the fuze was the worst for reception.Since then ive been using a flip phone because it gets better reception than my old htc.

    Most important to me is Reception

    Thanks for any wisdom especially that of the folks with experience with both.

  • Script for IP address update?

    Hello,

    I need to know if its possible to write a shell script or something that would send updates about the servers IP address to a location like a website.

    I took some shell scripting for my degree but never really enjoyed development and stuff. I am more drawn to support.

    Its for a linux ventrilo server. We are too cheap to rent a server.

  • AT&T Upgrade: HTC Aria or Samsung Captivate?

    Hello

    I am a big smartphone fan. Right now I have an ancient HTC Fuze with Energyrom x.x i put on awhile back.

    I've always loved HTC phones with Window mobile but I would like to try something else.

    I am considering two phones right now. The HTC Aria and the Samsung captivate. Mainly because the cheap upgrade price.

    The screen size isnt much of a deal for me.... but i do want the biggest bang for my buck.

    I am hardware savvy : keep that in mind.

    Also I don't use data very much, but now that i have to pay for it i will use it a little bit.

    I would just buy one on ebay but i paid 300 dollars for this fuze on ebay 2 years ago and it's not worth 40 now.

    Please only send recommendations from experience.... and i will not consider an iPhone.

    Thank you.

  • Laptop problem diagnosis?

    Hello,

    Ill try to make this short and to the point.

    Repairing an acer aspire 5735. Windows Vista OS

    Problems loading Windows GUI when in clients hands(just sits at Black loading screen), sometimes it wont even post.

    Did a full restore + windows updates, gave back.... few days later same problem

    Wouldn't POST when i got it back... Removed 1 DIMM..... it posted and loaded Windows fine tried every combination of the two stock dimms (1 in, 1 out other in other out both swaped slots) all this while avoiding ESD.

    cleaned fans and reapplied thermal grease to motherboard and cpu chips and reinstalled heatpipe.

    Ran full screen hulu video for severall hours on AC power.... no problems.

    Othe symptoms:

    Jumpy mouse cursor while using synaptics touch pad and multi tasking

    Screws missing from bottom cover, evidence it has been open before...

    Trying to avoid replacing parts one by one till the problem is fixed.

    My guesses....

    Faulty mememory module(s) or some malfunction due to ESD

    malfunctioning HD

    Your thoughts?

    Very much appreciated

  • Laptop SATA HD replacement?

    Hello

    I have little experience with Notebook repairs compared to my extensive experience with desktops.

    So a little wisdom would be appreciated. =)

    Got an Acer aspire model number- AS6930-6067 im repairing for a family member,

    Would get to Vista load screen with the yellow bar and Mirosoft copyright (right before GUI pops up) and stay and never load.

    Restored using acer restore... took longer than the average restore but once it was done windows loaded great and was fast. Used it for a whinstallinglling junk software then gave it back... Problem came back.

    My first guess is a bad HD. Wnat to one from flea-bay and pop in here. Same specs 320GB 5400RPM etc.

    Question:

    Since the restore data is a partition on the Bad HD, what would I need to get it onto the new drive.

    My desktop has many SATA connectors and mounting for 2.5" but i dont know if ill need power/data cable adapters

    I could use a vista install DVD but dont know one who has one.

    Thanks in Advance.

  • Selling Price -Gaming PC ?

    Hello

    My question is : What would you sell my old gaming rig for?

    I've built many, but usually when i build a new one, I just take out parts and transfer them over till they are out of date or incompatible.

    Case- No name case{side window,Top mounted PSU,)

    PSU- ANTEC True Power Trio 550w SLI ready.

    MB- ASUS-P5ND (2x PCI E 2.0 , 2x PCI E , 3x PCI) (4 mem slots)

    CPU- Pentium D 3.2 (MB can take CORE 2 DUO and CORE 2 QUAD)

    MEM- 3GB (3x 1GB) forget rest of specs

    Video- Onboard

    Optical- IDE DVD WRITER

    HD- None

    I think this could still perform with todays gaming requirements with a nice CORE 2, A little more memory, and a good Video card maybe even SLI. I'm done pouring my money in to PC gaming and stick to the 360.

    I'm building a new PC for the hell of it and just want to get rid of this one to get some extra cash.

    I see people selling old computers for way more than they are worth, to me at least. im not looking to get 500 out of this but anything over 20 bucks would help haha.

  • 10/100/1000 Ethernet debate question?

    Hello,

    First of all, I know the answer to this question but my friend claims that I am mistaken.

    Im trying to explain the benefit of 1000 mbps ethernet over 100 and 10 even when dealing with one device(computer).

    He believes that it 10 mbps ethernet is all you need since the downstream from my ISP is only

    3 mbps.

    Also he believes that an 11mbps wireless rate is just as good as a 54mbps wireless rate when dealing with one Pc aswell.

    I even showed him the difference by hooking up 2 different linksys routers with the said speeds.

    Streaming video shutters more on 11mbps than 54mbps.... he claims coincidence.

    It seems that most people on various sites believe the same thing but i know that they are mistaken.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

  • Xbox 360 warranty expired?

    I went to xbox.com/support, filled out a repair request by typing in the consoles serial number and it said it was going to run me 100 dollars due to expired warranty.

    How can this be if it was manufactured in 10/08/2009 ?

    Or is this not was the date means above the serial number.

    The probelm is that the disc drive is not reading any media.

  • 1994 Honda Accord DX questions?

    Just got a 94 Accord DX with 164k on it.(my first Honda) automatic.

    It isn't much but i needed something.

    I've read that the following reliability issues are common:

    ? About the Tranny:

    I want to try the lubeguard conditioner to remedy the harsh shifting. Have you tried this?

    It dosen't seem like its going out, feels like i'm riding passenger in a manual.

    ? About the Fuel sending unit:

    The problem with the fuel gauge showing incorrect levels and sometimes dropping below E suddenly. also the low fuel light not working.

    Read on Honda forums replacing the fuel sending unit would remedy the light and gauge problems.

    Can I get a lone FSU at a major Auto parts chain?

    I've read about universal ones... but can't find the info I need.

    I'm under the impression that pulling a used FSU from a junked one would not fix the issue due to the malfunction being not related to failure of the unit.

    Thanks for your wisdom.

  • Car electrical problem?

    Hello,

    I have an electrical problem with my car that causes my speed odometer hand to jump and the car to run sluggishly.It happens about once every two weeks.When i pull over and turn off the ignition, everything electrical (HUD lights, Headlights, dome lights, stereo etc) will have no juice. To remedy this i pop the hood and wiggle one of the two wires connected to the positive terminal.When i hear a click, everything will come back on and the car will start and not act up again for a little while.

    Its a 95 Toyota Celica st.

    additional things i've noticed are: when a CD is between tracks I can hear a buzzing....when i roll up the power window, i can hear an acceleration like whine from the window motor.

    when the speed hand jumps, it jumps from like 45 to like 100 and back in half a second, but does not reflect the way the car is running.The tachometer and all other gauges stay normal.

    Any suggestions/wisdom would help. Thanks.

    I have an old big screen in the basement(before flat panel tv era) i use for Xbox 360 sometimes.

  • Halo 3/ reach matchmaking?

    So I like all the improvements from halo 3 to Reach or from what i can tell from the beta.

    Im not a hardcore Halo player and don't think im the best by any means...

    The thing that pissed me off though about matchmaking in 3 though...

    I never got above 20 skill points (i suck i know didn't play that often though)

    I was playing with recruits and privates that would throw plasmas across the map and stick me 2 seconds after my spawn....

    My question is does the new matchmaking go by K/D ratio or just by rank like 3?

    And where can i leave feddback on the Halo reach beta... I found where i can leave feddback about the website but not the actual game.... I want to tell them they need a matchmaking preference on some kind of betrayls ratio...
