    4.3 Update has screwed up my storage

    I don't recall the exact date offhand but it was recently -- in fact the version in the Google Play store was updated more recently than the one in the Amazon app store, as I recall. Don't want to hijack this thread, however, as this specific topic is discussed in another thread.....

    4.3 Update has screwed up my storage

    The update to 4.3 from 4.1.2 also messed me up with a number of apps, most especially Kindle, which is the primary reason I went to the One from the iPhone. Perhaps they shouldn't have skipped 4.2; an incremental move might have been wiser. I've slipped the AT&T sim back into the iPhone for...

    4.3 broke Kindle app on HTC One

    Hard to believe I'm the only one experiencing this. In case anyone else is, here's an update: I spoke with both Amazon and HTC Level II techs, and after going through numerous trouble-shooting steps neither had any idea of why the Kindle app won't open following the 4.3 update. Both promised to...

    Kindle App not working after Android 4.3 upgrade

    I'm a little late to this party but having the same issue. "Upgraded" my HTC One to 4.3 last night via the OTA update, and now the Kindle app doesn't work. I get the "Unfortunately, the Kindle app has stopped" message. Tried everything up to and including a complete phone reset, but nothing...

    4.3 broke Kindle app on HTC One

    Thanks, I believe you're right; it seems to be an issue with the app itself. The solution in the thread you so kindly linked didn't work for me. I'm guessing that Amazon will come out with a fix sooner or later. But if anyone comes across anything sooner I'd sure appreciate seeing it.

    4.3 broke Kindle app on HTC One

    Thanks. Tried that (first had to activate Developer Options), no joy. I'm hoping enough people have this issue that one of the many experts here with turn their attention to it.

    4.3 broke Kindle app on HTC One

    Indeed. The larger screen is excellent for the purpose. Because the Kindle app works on my Nexus 7 with 4.3 but not on the HTC One with 4.3, I'm inclined to believe that the problem may emanate from changes in Sense rather than from the 4.3 update itself. Make any Sense?

    4.3 broke Kindle app on HTC One

    After the 4.3 update the Kindle app attempts to start, but then throws the message that it has stopped. I've tried all the fixes suggested in numerous threads, up to and including a complete phone reset. Nothing gets it to work. What's strange is that yesterday I got a Nexus 7 (2013), also with...

    rooCASE Origami slimshell

    I have this case for my Kindle Fire HD, and have just ordered another for the new Nexus 7 I have on order. What I like most about it is its flexibility in terms of being able to prop up the device at almost any angle, as well as its fairly thick cover (which constitutes the stand) which offers a...

    Are the people who work for HTC USA brain dead?

    Ajua, you win a gold star! You quoted the email I received from HTC on the topic of who issues upgrades to HTC unlocked, unbranded phones. Soon after I received that email I also received a survey from HTC inquiring whether I was satisfied with customer service, to which I replied in the...

    Are the people who work for HTC USA brain dead?

    This doesn't exactly answer your question, but may be of interest to you. Received today, further to my discussion with HTC on the subject of updates for unlocked phones: "Philip; if you bought the HTC ONE Unlocked version, you bought a phone that you could use with any network you wanted. When...

    Are the people who work for HTC USA brain dead?

    The below is HTC's response to my query regarding an update for my unlocked One purchased directly from HTC: "Thanks for contacting HTC Technical Support Center in regards to the Android 4.2.2 update. "Phillip; as much as I would like to give you a different answer, Jonathan provided you the...

    Just asked my carrier about 4.2 for the HTC One and this was there reply...

    I have an unlocked One that I bought a few weeks ago direct from HTC. Here's the reply I received yesterday to my inquiry regarding 4.2.2, a classic "lawyer's answer" if I ever saw one: I understand why you would like to know the release date of Android OS 4.2.2; I will gladly bring some...

    Cases for the HTC One

    I've tried three different cases with my week-old HTC One: the Cimo Grip Back Case Flexible TPU Cover; the Poetic Atmosphere Case for HTC One M7 Clear/White; and the i-Blason SoftGel Flexible TPU Case for HTC One. I'm very careful with my phone and when it's carried in a pocket I ensure nothing...
