Hi,
Just got my NoDo about five hours ago, then almost 7 trial apps and games have been prompted by the tile to be updated:
1. Need for Speed
2. Doodle God
3. oh, I can't remember the rest
but one thing is certain, after the download and update of the apps, everything was removed from the live tile except 1: Doodle God. Now I remember posting this as annoyance whenever I update some apps and still warns me to update when I was at 7008(pre NoDo). I was answered back then that if the app is purchased (non-trial anymore) the update gets done and it won't appear again. Another thing is try to uninstall the trial app and install it again. That way you would install the latest updated trial-mode of the app.
That is what I was about to do to the Doodle God game, I uninstalled it and wanted it to buy for good. I am hesitant to buying it before since it only has one profile, which means only one person can play.
Now, I can't find Doodle God anymore, I tried using the developer site but the wp7 download link gives me the marketplace where it should suppose to have a try & buy button but the buttons are not there. The thumbnail and description of the game and the "show details" is there but there is just no download, try, or buy button.
Now I don't know if it was officially gone from the marketplace since I can't find it scrolling down to almost every game there is.
Is it just the post NoDo thing or what?
I had that happen to me a few times with certain apps (long before nodo), in that it wouldn't show a Try or Buy button.
The workaround that I figured out, is to open one of the thumbnails of the app, maybe swipe to a second image, then hit the back button. All buttons would then appear.
Haven't had to do that in a long while though, your results may vary.
But yeah, I don't see it anywhere. Could have gotten pulled for a number of reasons.
Trying to download it through Zune states "Bad Application Info"
So who knows. Would suck if it got pulled, looks like a cool game.
I'm trying to do it to the point that I wanted to reset my phone. The only thing that's keeping me from resetting it is the sms backup and restore, which wp7 currently doesn't have.
and yeah it's a cool and an addicting game. thanks
Hi all,
My Nook Color had been running an ancient version of CM9, but was acting all laggy and locked up more often than not. I blew that away and installed Parandroid. Seems to run much better.
However, I'm having issues with the Amazon Appstore.
I installed it. However, there is no soft menu button available to select which will bring up things like My apps, so I can reinstall them. I CAN install new apps though as I registered the device through the Kindle for Android app, and was then able to purchase something through the Appstore.
Has anyone else had this problem on their Nook Color? If so, were you able to resolve it?
I have a Fire 7 7th Gen, running Fire OS 5.4.0.1. It has Apex launcher & Launcher Hijack v3. I ran the script to setup widgets successfully.
I did set the Accessibility options for:
Apex Launcher
Apex Automatic Install / Uninstall Pro
To detect home button press
all on.
rebooted.
I see a flash of the stock launcher followed by Apex, which I understand is normal.
Sometimes I see a message :
Use Apex Launcher as Home with a 'Just Once or Always ' choice,
I say always but it does not seem to stick. Did I miss any steps
in setting up an alternate launcher, or is it more Fire OS weirdness?
For the most part, the directions are fine, and everything works around
95%. I have the launcher running an HTC sense style flip clock / weather
widget, mini widget (battery, wi-fi, bluetooth and airplane mode in
a 1x1 widget) and a calendar agenda widget all working as expected.
I just wondered if it is just a Fire OS thing for it not remembering
I'd set use Apex Launcher always before??
Running Apex (free) on 7th Gen 10 Inch 5.5.0.0. Doesn't ask for me it sticks.
I don't know, weird. I suppose I should be happy that it woks as well as it does . It does seem more responsive
than my 5th gen Fire 7's

If I had to guess, I would say it's a new thing with the most recent Amazon patch. Maybe they came to the conclusion they weren't going to win users over with their launcher. Though it asking all the time is annoying, It could be a way to switch between them. The flash happens on all launchers, some more so or less so than others. On 5.4.4.0 you could Downgrade Fire launcher and uninstall/disable it, while keeping the home button, but breaking the recent apps button, but there is no flash. However you can downgrade back to 5.4.0.0, since you do have a 7th Gen. tablet.

I just want it to work reasonably, (if that is itself not unreasonable ).
Since 5.4.0.1 I am having problems installing Kodi No Limits builds,
the wizard gets loaded, and then is unable to download any of the
4 builds from any of the sources. It worked fine with 5.4.0.0 and 5.3.3.0
(which came on the tablet). Sometimes widgets stop updating for
not reason. I wish Amazon would let the device work as I the user
want it to. What I want to run as user app is my business on my
device not theirs.
Fire Launcher can be force stopped and its data cleared. There does
not appear to be any updates. The usual Android option to disable is
missing. Is there a package manager command to disable or hide it
or something? Something I can issue from adb shell?

Keep in mind Amazon does not market this device as a fully customizable Android tablet. It exists as a captive (locked down) portal to Amazon's vast ecosystem. Ever wonder why there are no open/unlocked tablets at similar price points? Money talks.

The widget issue I think has a lot to do with not being able to control wifi scan intervals or other scan related functions so the wifi drops out more than it should. For example, one setting not available is the 'avoid poor connections' toggle. With root, there are apps and simple build.prop edits that control that some of those features. With older Fire 7s, the Nexus custom ROM really does an incredible job of fixing the problem altogether.
Hi guys. I bought someones amazon fire 5th gen 2015 model SV98LN . i master reset the tablet, but now there are no apps and no launcher. everything starts up fine. I see the amazon logo, then the fire logo. Once it finally gets to the main screen, all i see if the lock screen. I swipe to unlock and all i see is a blank screen, but i am able to use the pull down menu and able to press the home button but then nothing is there and it goes back to the lock screen. If i register my amazon account to it, it tries to make a kids account. but i can only select apps that i wanna share that i have downloaded/purchased before.
other info.
when i select the check for update, it looks like it hangs and goes back to the lock screen.
when i do another master reset, it does the same thing
i tried reading on how to load up apps, but the tablet doesn't have a browser for me to download the google play store. I tried to use the "legal and compliance" section browser to download it, but that won't let me download the file.
i tried reading stuff off the micro sd and all i see is the stats of the drive and it won't let me view content
also i can't tell what version its on since the update section looks like it's been removed or something
Can someone please guide me what I can do. I don't want this tablet to go to waste.

Download the full update from amazon and flash it with recovery. What was on if before you reset it? if it was rooted, it might be missing files necessary for setup.
Good afternoon, I have an Amazon Fire HD 8 2022 12th Gen tablet.
I would like to know if there is a way to locate an amazon tablet? I used Fire ToolBox to install google services.
I tried to install the "Find Device" application from the PlayStore, but the tablet does not appear, only other android devices that are logged into my account appear.
I want to use location to find out where my son is, since he is the one using the tablet.
I'm also having a problem using the microphone on the YouTube app on the PlayStore. My son uses the microphone to search YouTube.
When I click on the microphone button on YouTube, "Listening" appears, but the microphone icon in the middle of the screen is gray, and when I speak it does not appear at all. And if you click on the gray microphone icon, the message appears: "This link cannot be opened".
Thanks
