    Firefox Bookmarks and Launcher Pro

    I've just installed Firefox Mobile on my Vizio 8" tablet. I've tried every popular browser out there, and Firefox is the fastest. Works like a charm and the Sync facility is great. The problem that I have is the placement of Bookmark icons on a Launcher Pro Home screen. It insists on placing...

    I've tried four file managers and an app called SD Reader and none of them show the EXT partition on my external SD card. It clearly shows on my PC when I run an app called "Linux Reader". Does anyone know how to get that partition to show up?

    Help Splashtop on FT3?

    I thought I posted this earlier, but it doesn't show, so trying again. Sorry if it turns out to be repetitive. Splashtop will not install on my FT3 running Tim's 4e. The app is not listed in Market (although the Splashtop website says it is), so I got it from one of the download sites...

    Help Running Copilot on FT3

    I saw posts on another forum indicating that Copilot runs well on an FT3. I purchased a Copilot US license from the Copilot website, installed it and it won't run. I contacted Copilot technical support twice, and they can't figure out why. They haven't tested it on an FT3, but claim that it...

    SD cards come in several speed ratings with Class 10 as the fastest. Does anyone know it the card speed matters to the Flytouch? There have been several posts on the same subject re different phones and they all say it doesn't matter, but I wondered if that also applies to the FT3.

    Help Streaming Video Issues

    There have been discussions re streaming video on other forums, but I thought I'd see if anyone with a Flytouch has successfully been able to run streaming video apps like HBO GO and Netflix. If so, how did you get it to work? In my case the apps start but quickly freeze.

    Help Poor video performance

    I am running The Chillhacker's April 19 firmware. I'm finding that the video performance in any video-based application to be pretty awful. I'm guessing that the internal processor simply isn't fast enough to handle high-quality video. Am I correct? If not, what can be done to improve it?
