Thanks He has never had this much problems finding work. It's crazy! We moved to the big city for him to find work and yet all he can find is temp jobs here and there.

My phone's Amazon Prime Music just updated and still no radio stations.

Why can't they give us new features like the KFs have. It's not fair! *pouts*

My Fire Phone went from nearly full to completely dead over night. Joy. I have no idea why and it's still too low to power on.

Who keeps "airplane mode" on all the time? Can you still call and text?

Barbara1955 · 01-31-2015, 03:23 PM

Depends on your carrier .... But is Airplane turning WiFi Off & On? I don't use.

O when I went to bed & finally fell asleep my power was at 49% woke up 7 hrs later was 35% That's with wifi On ... don't think that's your problem ... what about other apps?

No you can't. Check that Mobile Data is off. Last time I had a big drain that was it. Also it can happen if you accidentally leave an app open.

Hummm I left FB open last nite still no big power drain....

I can't find how to turn off cellular data, w/o doing Airplane mode, though I thought I had done so in the past.

I did go through and force closed a bunch of apps. Found out Audible used 25% of my battery, even though I haven't even listened to anything on that phone.

The most energy-draining app on my LG Volt is the Kindle Reader. Bummer.

booklover6 · 01-31-2015, 09:13 PM

I found out how to do it. Had to turn wifi on, then turn cellular data off, then wifi back off. Hopefully that will fix the drain!

Here's hoping it worked for me. You should install Potential app on your devices with Android 4+ It's not free but it works great and it will alert you from any device it's installed on if one of your devices it about to die. It's the best $3 I have spent with my Play money. You can sideload onto the Kindle Fire and Fire Phone with no problems. I wish it worked on older devices. I have it on my N7, LG Volt, KF 6 & 7, Fire Phone and so far I've yet have another device battery die since I've bought it because I can check all levels from one app.

booklover6 · 02-02-2015, 07:44 AM

It was definitely the mobile data causing the drain. It's good, now.

Blossom, does the Potential app require all the devices to be connected to wifi all the time, for it to work?

Yes it does which I don't mind because with that app I never had to worry about forgetting to charge something and I'm not really charging more either which is strange. I thought I would be leaving WiFi on but it's hasn't change much at all. You can actually turn WiFi Off from that app on any device the app is installed on but you can't turn it back on of course from the app.

If you do turn WiFi off make sure next time you turn it on to Open the app so it will update the status of that device.

New feature you can now ask questions via voice or as I call her Fiona.

Barbara1955 · 02-04-2015, 02:31 AM

I was hoping to use voice to make lists on the note ... before it wouldn't do it but now it does BUT only Voice. Is there a way to get it to Type the list? I want to make a list of BluRays DVD & VHS Tapes of movies I own so I can Stop Buying duplicates. I Don't want to have to Listen to my own voice go thru the list in a store!!!

Blossom · 02-04-2015, 04:12 AM

I'd use Evernote to make lists that way you can add to it on any device including your PC.
