  • If I have a 150Mb cable internet connection aren't my speeds suppose to be faster than 1,900KB/s when I'm downloading a file?

    I've been trying to figure out why my files aren't downloading at faster speeds. I have a 150Mb connection with Suddenlink, and when I'm downloading files from the internet they only download between 1,700KB/s to 2.0MB/s. I kinda forgot how to measure this stuff properly as I haven't taken a computer class in years, but I know my downloada aught to at least be closer to 10MB/s or more.

  • How can I fix my keyboard on my laptop?

    For quite some time now I've been experiencing some issues with my laptop's keyboard. This started around some time in November. I was working on it one day, and shut it down, and when I went back to use it; when I press a character multiple characters are being pressed even though I'm only pressing one button at a time. I'm at a lost because I don't know what could be causing this issue. What first came to my mind was that, maybe the keys were sticking, but that's not the case. I've tried blowing air in it going through all of the characters, etc and still no improvment. Also I've ran multiple virus scans so....that didn't help either. I'm using an HP DV6 Pavilion laptop from 2010

    Here is the link to the video I posted on YouTube> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr7lLi28Hvw

  • How to stop ps3 controller from automatically shutting off?

    So I've been having this problem for a while. My ps3 controller turns off within like 2 minutes of not being in use. That's the most irritating thing in the world. I went into settings, and told my ps3 to have it wait until 20 minutes, but that didn't seem to work. No matter which time I set it on it'll always shut off within 2 minutes of not being in use. The battery is fully charged and everything. So why is my controller shutting down so quickly?

  • What gaming headsets should I use for my XBOX 360?

    I'm looking for a new headset that works with both gaming audio and chat audio. It goes without saying that the headsets that some with the XBOX are complete crap. I'm looking to get something different. I want something with 5.1 surround sound in them, but at a reasonable price. Could any of you give me a list of some premium headsets like that. I tried but I really couldn't find what I was looking for.

  • Xbox and ps3 game question?

    Why is it that some games show blood being spilled, and others don't show it? For example, with dead rising if you kill a zombie a lot of blood spills out when you hit them, the blood falls on the floor and it remains there. In a game like GTA you kill someone and the blood evaporates in like 5 seconds. In Saints row blood doesn't even spill on the ground at all. There's also no graphic detail like showing where the bullet pierced through the body. Why is that?

  • What can I do for my sore scalp and dry hair?

    For months I’ve had a score scalp. I have no idea as to how I can treat it to relive myself of the pain. The only time it hurts is when I have to do something to my hair. That’s when the pain begins. Aside from that I can’t do a thing with my hair. Ever since I straightened it a couple of times it hasn’t been right since. It doesn’t retain moisture like it once did and nor can I comb through it. It’s always clumped up, and feels like it’s glued together. Are there any products that I can use for my sore scalp, as well as get my hair to stop going dry and being stuck together? Serious questions only please!

  • How much is the Galaxy S4 at retail value after taxes?

    I live in NC, and I was thinking about getting the S4, but I wanted to make sure I had enough money to get it once taxes were included. It's $649.99, but I need to know how much it'd be after taxes are added. I tried calling VZW but they said they didn't know.

  • Is it ok for a Christian to be friends with an atheist?

    I have a friend who is a none believer and I was hoping someone could give me some advice. I mean he's not anti or anything, but to me it feels weird. Everything was cool between us until he revealed that he didn't believe in God. That's where things got awkward. Should I ditch him, and act as if he doesn't exist or keep talking to him?

  • How can I make my PC faster?

    I'm really just getting into PC gaming. I wanted to try out PC gaming before I went out and purchased an actual game so I downloaded Crysis 2 demo. Oddly for some reason the game play is quite sluggish. That's strange because my computer has some high end specs.

    I may not have to latest hardware but it's still pretty substantial.

    I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 OS, 2.13GHz Intel i3 core processor, and have 8GBs of DDR3 RAM installed.

    There aren't any viruses of my computer, and my PC actually exceeds to requirements to play the game, so what could be going on?

  • Is it possible to change the API of a cell phone to use another carrier's DATA?

    This may seem like a stupid question, but I've seen something similar to this happening on YouTube with a GSM based phone. I was wondering that could happen with a CDMA based phone. For example could I change the API, etc so it can use US Cellular's LTE service...

  • The sims 3 loading slow?

    I have the Sims 3 base game installed as well as the late night expansion back installed on my computer. Over the past few years I've used third party custom content in my computer, and I really didn't have to much of a problem. This slow loading has been going on for quite some time, and I'm not sure as to what's the main issue that's causing it. I'm able to get past the boot animations and make it to the main menu just fine. When I begin my game it takes 10 minutes+ just for it to get stated, and that really bothers me.

    Even when I save and quite my game it takes forever to finally save and close out. Recently I went searching forums, and they suggested that I delete some old cache files. Well I followed the instructions, and deleted them, but the problem is still there. Recently I updated that patch and now my custom content won't load at all. So being that the custom content has been disabled, and it's still loading slow kind of rules out the custom content being the problem, I guess.

    So if there's anyone that can SERIOUSLY help me out, I'd definitely appreciate it.

I've never dropped my phone on it's face so I have no idea as too how those scratches got there. Regardless to how they got up they're there now. Supposedly my phone has Corning's Gorilla glass 2 which is suppose to be tougher than the last one. So does anyone have any idea as to how to remove them?
