Wow. That cost a lot. For that price this App is hard to pass up !!! Especially since it let's you transfer files from your PC to your Fire without being tied down with a USB cable. This is one of my favorite Android utilities. Last edited by obsessed2; 11-18-2011 at 01:45 PM. |

Jack, when your messages come up on my computer, there is no text to read. I must reply/quote in order to see what you are saying.
Does anyone else have this problem? |

BTW: I'm posting this from my Windows 7 PC. Occasionally I post here via my iPad or KFire. I wonder if that makes a difference? |

Nope, works fine for me. What browser are you using? Can you drag and select the text in his posts?

BTW, I use FireFox 8 on the PC, Safari on the iPad, and Opera Mini on the KFire. Now I'm off to see if I can se myself in a mirror.

If I may, please allow me to piggyback on this post. When you select an Application as described here, you can also choose to clear any data or cache for the App, and you can clear the Launch by Default setting. This last setting is particularly important if you decide you want to use one App over another. For example, say you want to use Opera Mini instead of the Stock Browser. If you don't clear the Launch by Default for the Stock Browser, when you try to browse with Opera it may kick you back to the Stock Browser by default. Sorry, I don't have my son's Fire in front of me so if I don't have the exact wording for the menus I apologize. Last edited by obsessed2; 11-18-2011 at 04:32 PM. |

How does one tell what is necessary?

I believe it may be better to let the running ones continue. For example, TuneIn Pro has presets for radio stations. They may get lost if I manually stop it from running. I also found with that program, that I could turn off my power and the radio station would continue to play via an external speaker. I had to hold the on/off button for 5 seconds to force a total shut down of the music. The control panel stopped working once I turned off the power but without the full shut down. |

Also, is there an easier way to bring up the running apps list then <gear> -> More... -> Applications? My wife is getting remarkably bad battery performance on her Kindle Fire; I think that at least sometimes it's because some app is using wifi. I wish there was some kind of "I'm just reading a book" mode that would quiesce everything on the device not involved with reading a book. Craig |

Doesn't work if patch cord is attached.

Evidently that is to allow playing radio and / or music for long periods without the automatic shut down for non-use. However, holding the on / off key for 5 seconds does a total shut down including the sound. I notice after a total shut down the Kindle takes a little longer to boot up than from the normal sleep mode shut down. I tried a shut down of the TuneIn app from the Settings \ Application Menu and it had no ill effects on the app. That is the only non-Amazon app that keeps running when one leaves it. I'll leave it on, however, since I see no purpose in going the extra steps each time I want to end that app. I doubt it really uses that much extra current. |

calendar app
Calengoo (in Amazon App Store) is a wonderful calendar app. It uses your Google Accounts Calendar.
It just works and is very customizable in terms of font size and color. In particular, I like the week view. |
