I think my rainbow is an air bubble. I'll take it apart and reapply today and report back.
Took it apart and cleaned and reassembled. Still have a large rainbow splotch. The phone does make a nice back up reader. Last edited by booklover6; 12-11-2014 at 08:44 AM. |

Don't know if this is the correct place to ask but... are there any immersive app for the Fire Phone? How can I find them? Thanks.

All you need to do is Download the Amazon ebook & Matching Audible When you hit the > at the bottom of the book to do the TTS it will actually read the book using Audible.
I have a Question Does the Firefly [phone] give you different voice options when you don't have the matching audible? |

Part 2
I got my nano SIM card today. I had a little problem getting the drawer open but once I did it was easy to install. I then had to activate it and port my service over from my other phone took about 2 hours. Everything seems to work. Calls are nice and clear and texting works nice. I do miss my emotes though on texting. One thing is I have yet to figure out if there is speed dial. On my old phones I could add the contact on the screen and call them at a touch of the button. Gmail contacts import easy and stay in sync which is critical. One feature I love is the ability to set a text notification tone for each contact as well as a ringtone. I've wanted this for a long time. Holding the phone to talk on it is not at all awkward like I thought it might be with the phone being so big. I didn't notice any super heat but I only talk for 10 minutes on my old phone after an hour my cheek would be pink from the heat. Does anyone know if Call Confirm will work on here? I hate pocket dialing and always use it. Call Confirm does work! ![]() My case will be here Friday. (Tomorrow) ![]() I am still testing the battery right now it seems to be draining fast but I can't say if that due to all the apps being installed so I will give it a few days then report back.

That due to it being IVONA TTS. Amazon bought them out just for their devices. All new Kindle Fires have it from 2013 and up.

I'm still not liking the OS on this phone. It's definitely inferior to the OS on the Fire Tabs.

I ask if they could update the carousel to allow batch removal of items and only show 30 items at a time like the Kindle Fire tablets now do. The response I got was this. Since I sent it through Amazon Fire Phone app I don't know how they got any idea about any Kindle. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Quote:

So I asked Fire Girl to get me "Weather Raleigh, North Carolina" and instead of saying "Let me get that for you." She said "I'm not able to do that yet."
