That makes me glad I took my phone to the AT&T store and had them do it.

Having you tried any screen protector on your HD6 ? The one on mine is ok,does the job of removing glare, but whites are not clear white, you know? The white screen of my kobo glo is whiter.

No I have not. I just keep it angled away from the light.

That may be your best bet if you could ask your son to see if he can get the card to stop losing contact.

Whoever though of the SIM tray design should be kicked off the design team.

I've inserted/changed the SIM about three times and each time it takes 5 minutes and feels like I'm going to break it. Then finally I hit the magic spot and it opens.

Yep you described my experience to a T with that thing.

Barbara1955 · 01-16-2015, 09:28 PM

What does the spot feel like? When I got the phone the tray was slightly open I just took my finger nail & opened it. All I seem to be doing is hit air when poking around. When I got the card aligned correctly it Snapped in! It worked fine for 2-3 days now it just keep losing contact...saying No Sim Card! Very annoying.

Alohamora · 01-16-2015, 09:48 PM

There's nothing to let you know you're poking the right spot. It seems the trick is to poke straight in and push very firmly.

Does anyone have Moon Reader Pro on their Fire Phone? I have an older version. I want to update to the newest, but it always fails.

If I delete the version I am using first, and then try to install the newest (which I've taken via ES File explorer from my Nexus) will the settings (on the Nexus) be already set on the new install, or will I have to redo all my settings?

Thanks!

First backup the setting inside the app on your phone to either Dropbox or SD Card. Uninstall Moon+ and install the new one then go into settings inside the app and restore. That's all there is to it.

I knew you would have the answer, and might I say, WOW! Your instructions made it so easy! Thank you!

Looks like they added a new voice command: Get Directions!

Barbara1955 · 01-18-2015, 03:53 AM

That voice thing drives me nuts! It wont work with my apps but every time I turn the phone on it asks what I want to do! Seems with me it only wants to make calls. What I wish it would do is make a list of my DVD/BlueRay Movies! Something actually useful.
