I'm thinking of getting the new Fire HD 8, but I have progress on several games on my current Fire and I'd hate to lose that. As far as I know, there aren't any cloud saves, unless Amazon somehow does this automatically. Is there any way I can bring my game progress over to the new tablet? Thanks!

The Gmail website is a split screen view with the inbox on the left and the actual email displayed on the right. But with only half of a 7" screen, viewing anything but pure text emails this way is awful. Is this just the way it displays in Silk? I checked how it looks in Chrome on my Nexus 7...

Just wondering if this still works for a Fire 7 updated to the latest OS: http://www.howtogeek.com/232726/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-your-amazon-fire-tablet/ Also, would it work for the new HD8? Thanks! P.S. Is it better to use the script method in the above link, rather than the...

Hi everyone. On my Kindle Fire (2015), sometimes when I swipe the lock screen to unlock the tablet, instead of just going to the home screen as usual, some random app will launch. Sometimes it may be an app I had been using previously, other times something I haven't opened in a while. Before I...

Hi all. I've noticed recently that my battery seems to be draining quite quickly. As in, unplug from a full charge and a couple hours later after nothing but standby, it's on 91%. That seems very wrong to me. I turned on the setting to disable WiFi during sleep, thinking this would help with...

Just curious if this happens to others. Mine sometimes gets warm even when I'm doing basic stuff like web browsing. Yesterday there was a software update and during that process it got very hot. Like almost burning hot. Is this partly because it's made of metal? I know it's hard to describe...

With Pop-up View Gesture activated, what does the first button do on the toolbar that appears above the app window? It is a picture of two windows with a pointing finger. When I tap it, nothing seems to happen. Thanks!

Just wondering if the S7 doesn't require the cable that came with it for charging. I know it does for fast charging, but for just regular charging, could I use the cable for an S4, or just any generic microUSB cable? Thanks!

I'd rather just turn it off, but there's no option to do it. So I thought the next best thing would be to set a custom time late at night when I'm sleeping. But as you can see in the screenshot, night mode is still active. What gives!?

Just wondering if this is normal. I figured that Screen would always be at the top. Also, I don't know what Cell Standby is either, but it seems to use a lot as well. Thanks.

I'm using Nova Launcher Prime and I just noticed that night mode is on, but it says it's turned on based on my system settings. I can't seem to turn it off from the Nova settings. So where can I find this in my settings? Thanks!

I just took a couple of screenshots and then through the notification pull down I chose "Edit" and it let me use a photo editor (which seems to be default on the S7) to write on the first screenshot. But I wanted to write on the second one instead, but I didn't see a way to switch them. So I...

Ok, I've held off asking this question long enough, but I can't help myself any longer. It's one of those things that gets in my mind and I won't be satisfied until I ask. So the past few months my S4 battery was getting pretty bad. After unplugging it from a full charge and then basically just...

Moving from the S4 to the S7, I was glad to see this feature still included. But I've noticed that unlike on the S4, it doesn't seem to require a flat surface anymore. I've held my S7 up vertically and I could still wave my hand and unlock it. This makes me worry that it might come on at pretty...

I just checked my Google sync settings in the Settings menus and it is showing a constant "circling" icon for Gmail sync. Why is it taking so long to do this? Maybe this is why my phone is feel hot right now. I asked a question in a separate forum about the Gmail sync options within the app...
