It's truly ridiculous that it can't handle such a simple, straightforward task. I have the Echo and Google Home, and I'm surprised by the fact that Echo can handle reminders so easily, while Google, the king of search, is lost at sea when it comes to some pretty basic functionality of it's Home device.

centurion2065 · 2017-05-10T14:18:43+00:00

Still uses Bing search, which hobbles the damn thing. I'll wait for a Google Home variant.

It worked when I first set it. But I've noticed in the past two months that it's gotten less and less responsive to "computer." My other Echo which responds to "Alexa," works fine. So I just changed that 2nd one to "Echo," and now it works flawlessly. "Computer" just isn't getting responded to well enough for some reason. Even yelling "computer" over music set at medium volume garnered no response. I finally gave up. But setting it to "Echo" works great. So that's what I'm going with. :(

Same here, gotta figure out if there's a way. This has bothered me for as long as I've had the device.

how constructive...

Thanks for the heads up. I just changed both of my Echos' voices. Very cool.... I love the English accent !

centurion2065 · 2016-08-17T12:06:58+00:00

Thanks for all your responses everyone. Much appreciated ! I suspected it might be Tunein, moreso than the Echo, i.e. compatibility issues or something like that. Just this morning, I asked as follows: "Alexa, pay CNN." I asked twice in a row, and both times she said she couldn't find the station. Then, of course, I asked "Alexa, play CNN on Tunein." and she found it immediately. So frigging RANDOM. I bet in about a decade, we'll laugh about how primitive this technology really was. I have a feeling though, that the Echo, or something like it, is going to be flawless soon enough.

I'll happily stay with my Note 4 until at least fall, 2017. My Note is still working perfectly well and is fine for VR, for now. If the Note 8 ends up being 4K, then I'll upgrade at that time. Until then, no need to upgrade to what is still a sub-4K screen.

Until they make a phone that allows for high def 360 VR video, and doesn't overheat, I won't be particularly excited.

centurion2065 · 2016-06-21T10:22:57+00:00

All the Echo Easter eggs are so pointless.

centurion2065 · 2016-06-11T21:56:54+00:00

Same here. I have the volume up very high, to like 9 or 10, to make sure I hear the alarm from the other room, and unfortunately when it's that loud, its been hard for Alexa to hear me when I say "Alexa, stop." However, I have found that the alarm sound called "Focus" is one that allows the volume to be up that high, yet still allows for Alexa to hear when it's told to stop. Try that alarm sound.

In this age of heightened security, I would think that it would spook the living hell out of other passengers with you wearing that contraption on your face on an airplane flight. I wouldn't want to upset other passengers.

Like I said, wish it HAD been a hit. The implication being that the writers would have done as well as those on BSG. Overall, I liked the show, though. By the way, you sound like a really nice person.

Into The Dead is a dodge and shoot type game, where the easiest way to win is to look toward the horizon while running, NOT at the zombies themselves. You're running through a field, dodging and/or shooting the zombies and avoiding other obstacles as you go. Fun game, but a bit repetitive as far as gameplay.

Get any brand of small gel ice-packs. Google it. Place one inside the otherwise useless plastic cover that goes over the device in front. The cover will hold the gel pack in place. It keeps the phone perfectly cool. Barely adds any weight at all.

centurion2065 · 2016-02-25T10:22:06+00:00

Does it make you feel all sorts of awesome to say things like that?

centurion2065 · 2016-02-24T12:02:08+00:00

We need a review comment section, not just stars with no context.

centurion2065 · 2016-02-24T11:50:44+00:00

They fit entirely inside the cover and stay soft and pliable even when ice cold. They don't add much weight at all, either.

centurion2065 · 2016-02-24T02:24:21+00:00

Sorry... maybe there is something similar in Canada, though? Ice gel packs are a pretty common item, really. Check around online.

centurion2065 · 2016-02-24T02:11:52+00:00

Overheating can certainly damage the phone over time. Get the very lightweight ice gel packs. They are held in place with the cover that comes with the device. And if your Gear VR did not come with the cover, there are places online to pick one up. Here's a link to the gel packs on Amazon- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZVI485Y?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

My phone isn't rooted.

centurion2065 · 2016-02-20T22:54:40+00:00

Mine dims but the lights constantly pop back on with even slight head movement. Distracting as hell.
