    Kindle Fire HD Q&A thread (read me)

    Few things come to mind. 1st the good. 1. Love the 8.9" form factor. Was sold on the size when i saw samsungs 8.9" tab. So imho, thats the perfect all around size.....at least for my needs anyway. Now on to what i'd like to see whats up with the new Fire HD. 1. Battery life. Think we all start...

    Transferring files/pix on an older Mac laptop

    Found AirDroid. That seems to work ok. Kinda slow, but guess that has something to do with the speed of the wifi router more than anything. Will use this until/unless someone has a better/faster option. Thanks Tom

    Transferring files/pix on an older Mac laptop

    Hey guys; Came back to the Android world by picking up a Verizon Galaxy Nexus. Loving the look and feel of ICS. But do have a small question. I am currently using a Apple powerbook G4 laptop running OSX 10.4.11. Is there a way that i can see the folders on the nexus like i used to be able to do...

    is it possible to make the update notification go away?

    thought about going the root direction, but just dont have the time or the confidence to do it right now. IF i mess it up, my schedule these days really doesnt allow me the time to troubleshoot and correct it nor can i be without a phone while working on that. So ive set the root option aside...

    Bye bye stock 2.3.6, hello Unnamed Rom

    so a rooting noob question here. I did the OTA update for my phone. not real pleased that i had to, but thats another story. In any event, if i read the OP correctly, i can use step #2c or #2d to root my phone and install this rom even after the OTA update? A little nervous since ive never done...

    is it possible to make the update notification go away?

    as an update to this question. I talked with 3 different tech support people. 1 via phone, 2 via tech chat. there is no way to make the pop up notification go away other than going thru with the update itself. I screwed up yesterday and turned on wifi not thinking, and that *&^% update was just...

As for saving content to the sd card by default, i dont have my phone with me(at home) to get the path for that, but there is a setting that...

    is it possible to make the update notification go away?

    Hey Guys; Long story short is i have gone thru the 2.3.6 att update once and it was a soap opera. ATT ended up replacing my phone due to the drama the last 2.3.6 update did to that phone. It went totally bonkers. In any event, we are now on to the replacement phone and all is well running on...

    Battery drain with new update

    cliff note version of my experience is i "rolled back" to 2.3.4(UCKH7 ;) ) by having ATT replace my phone. the update sent my phone into a very dark and nasty place, operationally speaking. They were very hesistant to replace the phone, but finally did so after several software repair attempts...

It made my SGS2 go totally bat ^&%$ crazy. multiple reboots, sluggish operation(when it allowed any sort of realistic operation), insane battery drain(20% in less than 30 minutes). So ive been reading up here...

    Not impressed

    Theres an app in market called "screen adjuster". It gives you control over red, green, blue & brightness individually. I've used it a couple times to make some movie files easier to see for me. It may help in your situation.
