If there were a "Trade your Kindle Fire" button on that page I would click it in a second. I like my Kindle Fire but it has issues. I'd kill for just a hardware volume control. It's hard to say without handling one, but my guess is to choose the Nexus over the Fire.
- Cd00d 14y agoThanks for that. I had no idea the Fire lacked a hard volume button. I almost compulsively use the one on my iPad, as I find quantified increments far easier than sliding my fat finger over something my fat finger is blocking.
- MartinCron 14y agoNot only that, but the soft volume controls aren't uniformly available. When you're watching a movie in Netflix, you have to stop the playback to adjust volume, but you can't hear the volume until you start playback again. Just painful. Note: this experience may have been fixed, I haven't used my kindle fire for watching movies in months, for obvious reasons.
- napillo 14y agoWhat's worse is that flash videos have their own volume control, and some of them default to having volume at half staff, and for some reason, sliding your finger on the (flash) volume bar doesn't adjust the slider at all, it moves the whole webpage around. Really frustrating watching flash videos on an Android device.
- DiabloD3 14y agoIts been fixed upstream by Netflix.... but why didn't you just change the firmware on your Fire to ICS like I did? Standardized soft vol avail everywhere.
- ConstantineXVI 14y agoBecause not everyone wants to make up for Amazon's [or any other OEM] R&D failures by wasting hours of their time wiping out their software?
- ippisl 14y agoBut won't you miss the benefits of amazon prime ?
- colkassad 14y agoI don't have Amazon Prime.
