Anyone know why the Kindle Fire screen gets flaky and unresponsive? I find myself touching and touching again until it responds. I have to do the 20 second power button hold to hard reset it once in a while. It's more responsive after that until it gets slow again. The editing marker that appears when you touch a Google search entry is really likely to jump when you lift your finger. My Jelly Bean Galaxy Nexus is precise compared to the Kindle Fire. I'm sure it's the Android version that affects this and other little issues.

I guess memory gets cluttered and affects the response, but you'd think that the processes controlling the system would be in protected memory. I don't even know what actual Android the Kindle Fire runs, but it hasn't updated in almost a year. Gingerbread would be my guess. It's a good tablet for what it does. I use it to browse the internet, read a book here and there, and play Words with Friends.

The primary reason is because you're using a kindle fire :p...I kid I kid, chances are, without something freeing up the memory, or overclocking, things can get messy...I recommend minfree manager if you're rooted, however, if not you could always use a task killer to free up your ram allocations.

I think you are right. Memory management undoubtedly lets it get fragmented and cluttered. I've also developed a bad habit of doing a soft shutdown by short pressing the power button. When I long press it to power off, it comes back up bright and shiny and full of pep. I use advanced Task Killer occasionally, but a hard power cycle is what it likes best.

BTW, we were talking about security software for phones on another thread. Here's an article where an armed robber was arrested after holding up two men at gunpoint, taking their wallets and their phones. One guy tracked his phone through the security software website, reported the location, and the police went to his house and arrested him.

Apple, Samsung, Google, and all the others will always run neck and neck back and forth. Since Google bought Motorola, you'd think they'd use Motorola hardware for their named phones and ramp up the tech even past the Razr. The Razr and several other 4G phones were on my list until the Nexus showed up at Best Buy for free.

I never tire of playing with Google Talk's Siri clone. It's eye candy, but I'm finding useful tasks for it to do. It never fails to recognize my southern drawl and always seems to come up with the right spoken answer or a collection of very pertinent links for the information I request.

my personal thoughts on the motorola merger: motorola holds the patents for the actual wireless technology: 2g, 3g, 4g, etc....all those would not EXIST if motorola hadn't put time to develop into them....google just played a royal flush, if apple wants to play patent war, google can easily say: "that's fine, you shouldn't have made a phone"

...it's sad that it's come to this, but i saw it coming, and google is going to win, android is an unstoppable juggernaut due to the fact that it's open source.....android sales are already FOUR TIMES as much as apple due to the versatility of the OS not being limited to one piece of equipment...sure we talk a lot of the superphones in this forum thread (evo, nexus, galaxy, etc.) but we forget, there are entry level android devices out there that you can get for next to nothing...no other smartphone OS can say that, except for maybe windowsphone....but with it being microsoft and a limited app market for windowsphone...the OS hasn't taken off....and it probably won't surpass the big two anytime soon....

all in all, i think it was more google getting tired of the bullying by apple, and they figured they'd up the ante and take the fight from slap fight to WW3

I've had my Provari for almost 6 months now and have barely even noticed my Egos. Provari isn't the be all, end all, but it's so good that I don't even think about whether I should try anything else. It just works and works, the same vape every time, predictable and solid. It has rolled out of the car onto concrete several times. I pick it up and it vapes like nothing happened. You have to look really close to see the tiny, miniscule scratch made by the concrete in the stainless steel case. If there were mil spec ecig devices, Provari would set the standard. It's money well spent.
