Well I am loading it up the replacement with apps as I type. It's definitely not a new unit. My guess is refurbished. The box came with the unit and and then the charger just thrown in. No special card. There are two scuff marks on the top of each side where some of the finished is off. Could be from previous owner's case rub, maybe? It's DIRT! Came right off when I cleaned it. It seems to work okay. It's actually a tad faster then my old one and much more responsive. It's much more brighter then my old one. Wow Screen Dimm went on it immediately. It updated to 6.2.2 and I've rebooted 5 times now with no issues. Last edited by Blossom; 01-25-2012 at 07:06 PM. |

The version for Go is 2.71. I am not going to update as it is running great so far with no problems.
I have three browsers installed and three other launchers besides stock. Guess I'm on the blaze now instead of the fire model. Too much fun without even rooting. |

That's great that it's a little faster. I rarely shut my fire down or do a restart. The last time I did after the update I lost a bunch of book covers. They turned gray. It was a pain getting them back. |

Did the 6.2.2 update add numbers to the top letter keys on the keyboard? I don't remember seeing that on my old one but it one of the first thing I notice when using this one. Last edited by Blossom; 01-25-2012 at 03:15 PM. |

I both updated and rebooted with Go Launcher as the default, and didn't switch back before doing either one. No problems but you guys are making me worry. Do we know for sure that it has been the source of the problem for anybody?

I read on another forum one person had four Fires. Use the same apk on all 4 of them. Two installed okay and no issue but the other two installed did what my fire did. Mine worked fine till the other night. I can't say Go! is the issue and I'll never know. I just will be overly cautious for now. |

Install Bad Ass Battery Monitor Pro to get measurements on your battery. It also tells you what amount of battery energy each app is using and allows you to jump directly to the App Management screen if required to get app version number and to clear the cache. I only install apps approved by the Amazon Store. I hope they pretest them before giving the okay. Last edited by sirmaru; 01-25-2012 at 03:44 PM. |

BABM was one of the first things I put on there. I use the Kindle Fire edition as it's more accurate. |

Oh that's interesting, I hadn't noticed the numbers before, but I see them now. I'm going to download the kindle fire edition of BABM now too. I was using the free one previously.

I'm fairly sure those numbers have been there since at least 6.1.

Not on my old Kindle Fire. I was a couple weeks ago wishing for this. This is a new feature for me. Could be I installed an app that messed things up as when I first got it I was testing apps for people.

I usually go to the stock launcher before I shut down the KF and remove what I don't want on the carousel which is nothing else but books.
When I restart the KF, I usually go to Go Launcher Ex first more often than not. I want to keep the carousel fairly clean and it probably doesn't matter if I don't but it has been a charm for me so far. |
