I've use them when I was making Sims creations. The problem was there was no easy way to upload from your PCs like dropbox unless that has changed and then there's a bandwidth cap.

Just installed and registered my Box.net setup.
The 50 GB is for LIFETIME. I got a message after I signed in that my account was "upgraded"so the promo is legit.
I referred many to Dropbox but still only have about 5GB of space at DB.

I like it

It works! I logged in on the web and found my regular 5GB, downloaded the app to my phone, signed in and got the 50BG upgrade. Very nice!

Hello I'm new and can I ask how you do that? Even saving a few steps can make like a little easier. Sometimes I'm a little frustrated.

Go to beginning of this thread and you will find links to two apps. One is WiFi Switch and one is the Lock screen app. Install them then just add the apps to your favorites so it will be on your home screen. When you want to turn WiFi on/off just tap the icon same with the Lock app. Tapping the icon puts the Fire to sleep.

Thank you!

Just learned about Ovguide recently. I do not see any charges for the streaming service for tv shows, etc. Anyone use this and would not mind sharing your experience would be appreciated.

I hate to be lazy and not read every page of this thread, but is there an app that will allow me to "deactivate" the touch screen...in other words, when I am reading an ebook, I find that my finger accidentally turns pages, and I would like to be able to turn on/off page turning at least...thanks!

salsaguy · 03-03-2012, 01:28 AM

How do you read a book if you cant turn the page unless its only 1 page long?!

This is my "MUST" have app for this month:

http://www.amazon.com/GSam-Labs-Bada...3&sr=1-3-fkmr0

It overlays the Kindle Fire Battery Icon with a numerical icon showing remaining battery energy and is always visible when the notification bar is visible.

LOL. It wouldn't install. Little bugger. I'll have to see if they charged me. (not that $.99 would break me).

If you bought it, then do the following after syncing and installing it:

Go to Preferences and choose the icon from Preferences \ Battery Icon Themes. It is the "Circle - Big Visible Numbers."

It doesn't install as a separate App. Its an add on to the Badass Battery Monitor - Kindle Fire Version.
