Was so looking forward to this. I have some books in Archive that simply fail to download to the HT7, others can take ages to download. Tried removing the app, de-registering on Amazon and re-installing, same issue. Anyone else seeing this ?
Ian
So far my books haved synced fine over Wi-fi. Are you using Wi-Fi or 3G? Do you get any error message?
I'm only attempting this over the WiFi network, it eventually gives up and says failed to download, try again.
The only real possible causes for failed downloads would be loosing wireless connection or Closing the application before the download has completed.
Well I thought this but the iPhone beside me downloads fine over wifi as do my various laptops with the Kindle app installed.
Maybe try de-registering and uninstalling/Reinstalling one more time? Don't know what else to suggest fella.
This is off the amazon website hence why i've quoted it.

Hate to cross post, but I'm having a similar issue on my android device (nook color), as well as two windows pc's. I don't think this issue is isolated to one platform.
Thanks for info. Amazon are still investigating this issue
solved the same problem
I had the same problem. I accessed my app manager and changed the kindle app location from phone to sd card. After that all my queued books downloaded. I think the problem was not enough memory on my phone, or reserved memory on the phone and kindle auto DLs to location the app is installs. (could be wrong, but solved the problem anyway) hope this helps
When I plug attach my phone to the computer (via the usb cable) moto cast launches and tries to install. It gets to the point of saying it needs an internet connection to download and install up -to-date 32 bit java runtime environment. It never sees the active internet connection I have on my phone or computer. What can I do to get rid of the moto cast install pop up, as I am never actually going to use moto cast.
What? motocast is great?!?!
But to answer your question, assuming you are using Windows, right click the action bar icon and change "When device connects >" to "Do Nothing"
Should solve your problem
I am using Windows 7, and being pretty new to making changes in the phone, where is the action bar icon you are talking about? I have checked every icon on the computer related to the the moto cast install client, and can not find the menu items you are directing me to.

When I plug mine in, I get a little black phone looking icon with a red dot down by the clock. That's what he's talking about. if you see that, right click on it and follow the steps he mentioned.
Ah, never thought to look in the system try! Thanks, from your added input I got it taken care of now.
I've been using the phone for a few days, and I'm not going back to my iPhone 4S now. Too many goodies on the GS4 Active and Android. I've resolved most of the issues I've been running into by myself (disabling some bloatware, installing stuff from the Google Play store, replacing the ****ty stock camera app with Camera Zoom Fx, etc).
So I tried to use internet tethering (mobile hotspot), and it is disabled. It tells me that Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM. The phone is an AT&T phone (I537), and I'm using it on the Fido network here in Canada on the 3G APN (not the LTE APN). Fido has internet tethering free by default (as it should be), I used it on my iPhone 4S, so I'm guessing that it is my phone which has the feature disabled even though my provider and data plan support it.
Do you think I could use the same trick that the regular GS4 guys are using to enable it, by changing some stuff in the TetheringProvision.apk file? I read it in the link below:
http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-tutorials/how-to-wifi-tether-att-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337/
Or is there a specific way that we can use to enable this feature? Thanks...
EDIT: Here is a full detailed guide, I just went through the process myself. Many thanks to bluesphere0 for the help!
Overview of steps:
>>> Root
>>> Quarantine 'TetheringProvision' to disable the software lock on hotspot
>>>* Use ES File Explorer to configure and turn on the hotspot
>>> Root
1) Start by rooting the device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2347793
NOTE: For step #3 in that thread, after the apk installs, you will eventually be brought to a completion menu with 'Done' and 'Open' options. Choose the 'Open' option and it will tell you that you should have root access now. If you accidentally tap 'Done', you can just reinstall the apk again.
2) Get SuperSU on the Play Store. Open it, update the binaries, etc. Your device should be fully rooted at this point. You can check this by downloading Root Checker on the Play Store, but this is unnecessary.
>>> Quarantine 'TetheringProvision' to disable the software lock on hotspot
3) Enable USB Debugging (Settings > More > About Device > tap the Build Number about 10 times > back button > Developer options > check USB debugging). This is required by App Quarantine in order to quarantine files.
4) Get App Quarantine from the Play Store, tap the wrench icon at the top right, uncheck 'Hide system services', hit the back button, then tap on 'TetheringProvision' and tap on the lock icon at the top right. If successful, it will lock it up in the 'Quarantine' tab at the right. Check to make sure that it is in there. This 'freezes' the file which is responsible for locking down the hotspot functionality.
Alternatively, it may be possible to get away with just renaming the TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex files, but you may not be able to use ES File Explorer to do this, even if you have root access. It didn't work on my device even though I had root access. The solution is to get ROM Toolbox Lite, use the Root Explorer tool and rename it from there.
>>> Use ES File Explorer to configure and turn on the hotspot
5) Get ES File Explorer from the Play Store. Tap the hard key for menu, scroll down and tap on Net Manager. Tap on Settings at the bottom, select 'Use the system AP setting', enter an SSID (recommended to be short with no spaces, like 'MyName_GS4_Active'), and a password. Tap on OK. Tap on the back button. Tap on 'Create a hotspot network'. It will say 'Establishing Network...turning on', followed by 'Now you are using AP, SSID is...', AP password:, and an 'Exit' button. It may say 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped' after this, but IGNORE it. Your hotspot is still active - look at the top left of the phone, you will see a wifi symbol in a blue icon, this is your indication that your hotspot is working.
Notes:
To turn ON the Wifi Tethering:
1) ES File Explorer > hit the menu key > Net Manager > Create a hotspot network.
You CANNOT turn on the hotspot using the built-in menu in TouchWiz/Android.
To turn OFF the Wifi Tethering:
2a) Pull the notification menu down (swipe down from the top of the phone), tap on 'Tethering or hotspot active' under the 'Ongoing' section, turn it off.
OR
2b) Settings > Connections > More networks > Tethering and portable hotspot > turn it off
OR
2c) ES File Explorer > menu > Net Manager > tap the Exit button at the top (under the details for your hotspot).
NOTES:
* For turning off the Wifi Tethering, I've found that the fastest way is option 2a.
* For AT&T phones: "Use foxfi and enable the proxy service it will mask your tethering." - dave5777

Yes, use foxfi and enable the proxy service it will mask your tethering.

You can turn on wifi tether in android just like normal once doing the tetherprovision hack. It will popup with the you must activate message like normal, but the hotspot still activates and works fine. This eliminates the need to us es file explorer to turn it on.

Thanks! I'll give that a try. Seems like I tried using foxfi, but ran into a wall. Didn't try to enable the proxy service though...
Just wanted to mention something here in case there are others out there as dumb as me
See, I have bounced back and forth between carriers over the years, and have become so accustomed to their greedy "you must pay us extra for tethering" crap, that one of the first things I do with all my new phones is figure out how to beat any tethering restrictions on it. Same for my new i537. Came here and found the right threads, starting playing with FoxFi and removing the provisioning apk's, etc.
Just today I figured out that tethering is included, free, with my plan anyway.
Doh!
Been fighting a non-existing restriction all this time... I didn't realize that AT&T now *lets* me tether up to the limits of my plan without any additional charges. So if you are reading this trying to figure out how to tether for free, you might want to check if you need to even bother first...

Good idea.... I'm going to check my plan. I'm just so used to AT&T screwing me ... just switched from years with the iPhone and always had mine jailbroken and used tethering everytime I was on a business trip.

If you're on a different carrier with an unlocked Active this tutorial helps out a lot. I got mine factory unlocked from ATT but neither wifi nor bluetooth tether works without doing all the above I have the wifi working now but bluetooth tethering, while now visible with a checkmark, still doesn't work at all.
I can -sort of- understand why cell companies lock their software down (money, fear of losing customers, etc...) but I don't particularly care for it when I buy the phone outright and should be able to use it any way I wish. They'll unlock it fine but I'm SOL on other highly sought after options like this. Sure I can download an app to bluetooth tether, but why should I when it's an option in the settings?
fixfi workaround s4 active
When you activate tethering and it comes up telling you to call 611, instead of clicking OK just hit the home button to minimize foxfi.

I know I can install foxfi as a workaround, but I shouldn't have to.
FWIW, I don't use ES File Explorer due to the root access issues, I just use the ATT hotspot app for wifi tether and it works fine (after freezing the TetherProvisioning of course) It works for me just fine. I also have Wanam Xposed installed and checked the disable tether provisioning, not sure if it makes any difference though.

Is "TetherProvisioning" the only one you froze OR uninstalled?
I can't never use the built-in tethering, I kept getting on "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". Tried this with FoxFi, Wifi Tether and a host of other tethering apps..
The app, say Wifi Tether and FoxFi, will have the notifican saying "tethering running" or something like that, but there is not blue icon that usually shows up when tethering is ACTUALLY active. Tried to connect from my MacBook and Galaxy Note 8.0 - yep - no tethering active.
My S4 Active is rooted, stock ROM.

For my ES Explorer, the "Create a network" option is ALWAYS greyed out (not clickable). Is there any specific setup you have to do?

I couldn't get ES File Explorer to work at all, not even view root files (I definitely have it rooted as well, a lot of people have issues with ES for some reason on the Active) I have Wanam Xposed installed with the tethering provision disable box checked, TetherProvision frozen, and I activate the wifi hotspot thru the ATT Hotspot app, not thru settings. It'll sometimes tell me it's stopped, but the wifi hotspot will be active and I can connect with my Nexus or MBP just fine. Bluetooth tether does NOT work though for some reason.

So I found out that if I start the tether (3rd party app or built in) the first time after every reboot, the phone hangs, the error pops up and tethering does NOT work.
The 2nd time I started, then it works.
The problem is that the hang took about 10 - 15 seconds. With the 2nd tried, that's a total of 20 - 30 seconds. So I have to wait...
I guess I got used to my old Note where tethering is almost instant.
I don't think you have to get a program to freeze the tether files , just rename them ,, I added a 2 to the name of the apk and odex file . then I fallowed the rest of the directions , and it works great
I have a tethering app I had on my note , installed it and it works for turning on and off , no need to go into the es files to turn it on ..
app is SVTP WIFI HOTSPOT
Check wifi is OFF

It will be grayed out in ES EXPLORER if you have your WIFI turned on. You have to turn off the WIFI to activate the HOTSPOT. It cannot both Receive WIFI and be a HOTSPOT at the same time. I tried so many hotspot apps with the active and only ES Explorer worked. Note... you do get a settings stopped warning but it really is working...
I also suggest NOT using the random SSID in ES Explorer, rather set up a system SSID... Is explained in the full step by step post...
This fix is more for AT&T phones running on OTHER networks... in my case, T-Mobile.

You do not need a program but it is easier to remember and undo all the changes with the program. Just uncheck a box verses remembering all the renamed files a few months after you did it... I am OLD.. I forget things.
For some reason, on the ACTIVE, the stock android tethering app still is not functional even after disabling the tethering provision app. At&t did something extra to cripple the ACTIVE.
Again, this is for using the ACTIVE on other than At&t... or at least that was the original tethering problem I was working to fix.
Awesome developer Joao have (yesterday) released a brand new app called AutoTools to his big AutoApps-library. It´s supposed to be a ``supercharged Tasker´´. For example it has it´s own ``secure settings´´ very similar to the old original Secure Settings-app it self that stopped development a couple of years ago. And wait for it... it does NOT require root!
There are though warnings that claims the functions will not work on all phones and also to enable ``secure settings´´ you need to connect the phone to a PC and install a specific software etc. (all info is in the app).
I have not yet dived into all the functions myself but only checked it briefly. But this is exactly what Tasker needs And who else to bring it than Joao, he is really brilliant :good:
Read more HERE and take a look at the really informative Youtube video.
About the ``Secure settings´´ function.
AutoTools Secure Settings
This allows you to change settings on your device that you normally wouldn't be able to with Tasker
NO ROOT is needed for this action
Examples
Turn GPS on when in Google Maps, turn it off otherwise (No Root!)
Change Animation Speed with a Quick Tile on Android 7 and Above
Change input keyboard depending on situation
Set Screen Orientation
To use this, AutoTools needs to be granted permission to change secure settings on your device
How to grant AutoTools the Secure Settings permission
Enable Developer Mode: Go to Android Settings -> About Phone and look for the Build Number option. Touch it multiple times until developer mode is enabled.
Enable USB Debugging: Go to Android Settings -> and look for the Developer Options option. In there, enable the USB debugging option.
Install ADB on your PC: Check here for a quick way to do it.
Connect device to PC: Connect your device to a PC and look on your phone. A prompt should show up asking you to allow your phone to be debugged by your PC. Accept this.
Grant permission: Open a command line on your PC and write
adb shell pm grant com.joaomgcd.autotools android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
Congratulations, AutoTools should now be able to use the "Secure Settings" action!

Just tried it and got some strange results lol. Airplane mode enables (icon lights up) and mobile data turns off BUT cell connection is still up and I can make calls and send texts. So you could say that I get ``almost airplane mode...´´.
I read about some Marshmallow bug though for third party apps writing system settings even with permissions, could be what causing this.. https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=194376

For Airplane Mode ( I don't have root), I use AutoInput to open up the notifications shade, then simulate a press of the airplane mode button. Works perfect
This is a lifesaver coming from Tasker + Secure Settings and System Module+ enabled which is not functioning with Marshmallow for GPS until I found someone talking about this app. Confirmed working with Marshmallow on LG G5 I'm very happy as soon as I saw it worked, I just bought the full version. This was the only issue I had as I like to use Waze often in my car and one or two less clicks is just another annoyance I didn't need :laugh:
can someone help me, I don't know how to install ADB, I'm running windows 10 home on my laptop,
Do i still need to do the adb command part if i'm rooted?

Not sure if you found the answer, but Google recently released an installer for just the tools like adb and fastboot: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
I found out in the end
Can system settings be changed without root
I have gone into settings then sound settings
I then get an if statement
I just want to turn my system sound back on at a certain time
Im not sure what to do

This sounds like you want to disable DND (do not disturb). The action for that doesn't require root. It's in audio category. The "all" setting will allow all sound, effectively disabling DND. I believe you must enable Tasker's notification setting in the system settings (main OS, not Tasker). If you are using any relatively recent Tasker version, you should be prompted for any missing permissions the first time you setup the (any) action.

Yes, Tasker is designed to run most of its actions without needing root. You do need to give permissions through ADB for some restricted actions, such as using the AutoTools plugin -> secure settings action. I think this is the action you are asking about. See Tasker User Guide - Grant Secure Settings
I have no idea what you mean by "I then get an if statement".
If you have a task (or profile) that doesn't work the way you expect, it helps others help you if you post the entire task (profile).
Before exporting, if you have sensitive information such as logins, api keys or anything else, you might consider setting those values to a variable and use the variable in your tasks so the values won't export with the task.
To export a task (profile) description for posting, press on the name to highlight the task (profile). Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Now you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use something like pastebin.com / hastebin.com and link to a post here. If you paste directly into a post here, the forum software will convert semicolons with characters directly after, into emoticons making it very hard to read.
Thanks for the replys
It's my wife's phone she goes to work and turns the sound off (not the DND) She drops the menu down and clicks on the sound icon then there is a line through the speaker icon at top of screen. She forgets to turn on the sound when she leaves work and I can't get ahold of her cause she can't hear the phone ringing. Was hoping to use tasker to turn sound back on at 5pm

ADB requires the proper drivers for the device installed on the computer your using. Using a data cable would be more reliable than over Wi-Fi, particularly to set-up. At the top of the forum, in the search manufacture and model of the device then it's forum should show up in the results. Every device forum has an "ask any question help thread". If you can't find how to ADB to the device in the forum, that's a good thread to get help in.
However, to turn the ringer volume up doesn't require anything special. Audio -> ringer volume. Explore all of the volume settings actions in the audio category.
Ok ill explore how to install ADB for my phone. In regards to the sound. You said it easy to turn volume up but my system volume is off not turned down Any option I try to turn volume up does not work. I dont see an option to first turn it back on
OK well Ill be dam. Figured out the ADB
Now its working turns the sound on at the specified time
Thanks for all your help have a good day
