    Farewell, DInc2 forums!

    Well, I did it. I've been eligible for a device upgrade from VZW for two months. I haven't used it because I was waiting to see if VZW was going to get the HTC One (I've been using HTC Android phones since November '09). I don't know why I was being so faithful to HTC; they and Verizon...

    Alternative to Audiogalaxy?

    I'm bummed! I've been using Audiogalaxy to stream my iTunes collection to my android devices for over 2 years, but, after being bought out by Dropbox, it shut down February 1. Does anyone know of a reasonable alternative to Audiogalaxy? I'm thinking of uploading my collection to the Google or...

    Reboot every day since update?

    Since the update several days ago, my phone has involuntarily rebooted at least once a day. Yesterday and again today, when I tried to make a call, that spooky red verizon eye came up for several (3 to 5) minutes before I could use the phone. Has anyone else experienced this inconvenience? Is...

    Spare Battery

    My girlfriend has an Optimus M Plus, and I'm looking to find a spare battery for her, but I'm having no luck finding one for that specific model. Do all LG Optimus' have the same battery?

    What's up with Opera Mobile?

    I've used Opera browsers on my Android devices since I got my first Android smartphone in November 2009 and have never had a problem, but lately Opera Mobile has been driving me crazy. I'll launch Opera Mobile and will be browsing the web, when all of a sudden the app closes without warning -...

    Ruined my DInc2!

    In a hurry two nights ago, I got out of my car and tripped over the charging cable while it was plugged into my DInc2. This must have screwed up the charging port, because it won't charge now. I went to Verizon this afternoon. They're going to send me a new one (I got it on Aug 1, so it's...

    Measuring Amount Battery is Charging

    I have a number of aftermarket chargers in my house and car. They all claim different amounts of output, from 500mA to 2.1A. Are there any apps that allow you to see how much charge the battery is actually recieving when it's charging?

    Apps Question about Hi-Quality Audio Recording

    There are a number of stereo microphones available (from Belkin, Tascam, Blue, etc) that allow high-quality stereo recording on ipods and iphones. There are a number of apps available for recording on Android, but the quality of the recordings is not great. Why is that? Is there something...

    A cure for the missing volume button...

    One of the frequent complaints about the Kindle Fire is the lack of a physical volume control. In my travels on other forums, I came across this app: Volume control by RubberBigPepper It's a floating, transparent volume slider that is small, unobtrusive, and very customizable that 'floats'...

    One drag about the Fire...

    I'm very happy with my Fire. One thing I miss, however, is the ability to toggle between apps by long- pressing the home button.

    Help email stopped syncing

    In addition to my gmail account, I have an aol account on my DInc2. My aol acount stopped syncing as of December 13 - it shows no email since then in my inbox. I just tried sending an email from that account, and it sent it without a problem (it also showed up in the Sent folder). I guess...

    A cure for the Fire's sluggish screen

    If you experience some sluggishness at times when pressing icons or the Home or Back button, I found this on another KF forum: There's an app called Touchscreen Booster that was designed for the Samsung Galaxy, but, judging by the comments in the apps reviews, wirks on other devices as well. I...

    External Mic on the Fire...

    Check this out - I have a set of stereo headphones with an in-line microphone. I plugged it into the Fire, then downloaded and installed an audio recording app and tried it. It works! That means Skype and other apps requiring a microphone can work on the Fire, with the proper hardware...
