Re: "Unable to increase the brightness further. The device is overheating" What the ...??? It sounds like the backlight in your lcd panel might be going out.

Re: problems with apps updating The problem seems to have just magically gone away. Perhaps I overreacted.

Re: problems with apps updating I did that also. It just stops and starts over, and then hangs at 80% like before. But thanks. I really don't want to do a hard reset of this thing...

Seeing how the Pro update is so long overdue, I'm not holding my breath, and looking hard at Cyanogenmod.

problems with apps updating Usually apps update themselves, but occasionally one has to be manually done for some unknown reason. Well, yesterday I had 2 apps to update, so I told it to get the updates. However the update process is stopping at 78% or 80%, at the stage where it's done...

Re: Watching films on a memory card I use VLC all the time, it works great. You should probably have a good memory card, like a SanDisk or Samsung or something, and not an el-cheapo one like I see all the time.

I have lots of gadgets. Tablets, phones, etc. I'm looking for a wall charger that will charge multiple devices (Prefer 4 or more) via USB, at the 2A speed, all at the same time. I have seen many devices that have many ports, but usually only 1 port is 2A, or the total is 2A, and that is...

It sounds like there's multiple hardware problems with the touchscreen.
