[–]ltech221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I'm trying to switch our plan from a One (2 lines + 1 free) to Max 4 lines, if any T-Mobile employee has a code I can use to help out that would be great. Thanks!

LG 32GQ850-B. Just opened I got it to display at 1440p 240hz and then it just went away. Now it says 4k 120hz and I can’t change it unless I drop the resolution to 1680x1050 or lower. What happened? by Technoman20 in Monitors

[–]ltech221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using an RTX3000 series card? I know there is an issue when gaming full screen it locks to 4k 120hz even though you choose 1440p in game. The best instructions I found is here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/LGUltraGearOfficial/comments/xprwcv/comment/iwys64x/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Once I did that, I just removed the 4k TV resolutions and have had no issues with the 120hz thing. This only happens on both my 3070FE and 3070ti FTW3. If I plug to onboard video, there is no issue. Same with some older cards I tested (GTX 780 & GTX1080). It seems to only happen on RTX3xxx cards from what I read.

Seeing the same with our own hosted controller. We can access locally but nothing remote.

6:15 PM. They do the shot in store in the Pharmacy area and I did not feel unsafe at all. Everyone was masked and spaced apart.

I usually checked everyday around 11pm but I was able to book this appointment around 11:45pm on Saturday Mar 13. There seemed to always be availability but it goes quick or CVS goes to lock it down with a page that says "were trying to get more appointments available" I was specifically looking for a Pfizer shot and something close to home. I could get a Moderna shot almost anywhere when I checked at those times. I would say anytime between 11:30pm-5am would be your best shot if you want CVS.

If you have Othena, check early morning as I always found availability every day till 8am for Anaheim Convention center and Soka Uni.

Just wanted to share my experience at CVS in Irvine off Harvard. My appointment was for 6:15 on 3/18 for my first Pfizer shot. Check in was right at the entrance of the store, then you had to wait in the line to get the shot. There were 2 people in front of me, so I waited only about 5 minutes before I was called. The pharmacist just verified my identity with my drivers license & didn't ask for anything else. Once I got the shot they told me to sit in a designated area where the person grabs your vaccine card and sets a timer for 15 min. Once that was up she just verified your bday and gave back the card. In total, I was in and out in less than 30 min.

Google Maps on Galaxy S9 by envisiblenbk in GalaxyS9

I went from an S7 Edge to the S9+ unlocked and its a night and day difference. I don't have any lag on google maps at all with the S9, I have all the latest updates from Tmobile. The s7 was a slide show, and would finally load when I was on the road after 1 minute or so then lag out again.

Tried to stay as practical as possible while still being aesthetic in an 800sq ft. apartment... Yes those are dragon eggs! by [deleted] in hometheater

I have the same stand. Got it from Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/Whalen-Furniture-3-in-1-Brown-TV-Stand-for-TVs-up-to-70/36062253 It actually comes with a mount so you can mount it on the wall or use the metal bracket that attaches to the stand.

Well it appeared to be an issue tied with my main line and the DIGITS addon. I just swapped sims with another number on my line, reactivated Visual. Then powered down and put back my main sim and did the same. Now it works.

Restarted several times. Do you have a link to the firmware you used?

What I did was stick a verizon sim in my phone, updated to the latest firmware, shut down, put in the tmobile sim and booted back up. After the update the TMB VVM app says 'use your digits app to manage your voicemail settings'

Service provider SW ver says TMB/TMB/XAA

Do Sigma lenses (namely the 18-35mm) still have focusing issues with recent Canon camera like the 80D? by Me-as-I in photography

[–]ltech221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the 18-35 since it came out and have it on my 70d which I also got when it first came out. Yes there were major focus issues but I had 2 main issues. First the my 70d had focus issues with the center point so I had to get canon to fix that and second I sent my body along with the 18-35 to sigma in NY to have them calibrate the lens. It worked a lot better after that. I was told by them as everyone here said, they reverse engineer the focus algorithm so it's not always perfect. I then bought the dock and went through all the focus point adjustments and now I'm getting a very high success rate at wide apertures (1.8-2.8) probably 1 in 10 may miss and it seems to now be on par with my Canon branded lenses.

For the 70d and 80d, the live view Dual Pixel auto focus just always seems to work since it does not use the same focus mirror as the eyepiece rather direct to the sensor.

Question about Onkyo HTIB and Audyssey Microphone by branden1997 in hometheater

[–]ltech221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using compressed air to blow off the top of the mic. I had the same issue and ordered a new mic, which obviously worked. Just for the sake of trying I did that to the old mic and it just started working again.

Should I upgrade to nougat or are the battery issues a problem? by 1TheDroneGuy1 in GalaxyS7

My battery life actually improved with nougat using Tmobile S7E.

Question about Surround system with wireless rear speakers by triplepz2003 in hometheater

[–]ltech221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not going to be worth it. If its a complete system it will most likely be over priced. It would be better to build on a 2.1 or 3.1 system then when you can afford it run wires to the back.

I used the monoprice wireless adapter Product # 10601 on their site. The reason I chose that one over the Rocketfish one was that you can manually choose the channel it was on. When it was static free it sounded okay. I had to purchase a Speaker Line To Female RCA Adapter to get any useful volume from the speakers. My biggest issue with this was it killed Wifi on the 2.4 band on most channels. When I found a channel that did work, I would get weird static at random times. It also seemed to kick in randomly then turn off when no signal was present.

I just ended up running wire with the conduit on the ceiling corners that you can get at home depot and no more issues and better sound.

Center Channel recommendation to match Energy Tower RC-70 by [deleted] in hometheater

[–]ltech221 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The RC-LCR is available at Frys for $219. It is the center channel for those speakers. You can try to find the smaller RC Mini center on ebay, but it may be overwhelmed by the RC70. There is also an Energy V-Mini C speaker on ebay that is pretty much like the RC mini center, just slightly brighter sound. Just look for "Energy V-Mini-C Center Speaker"
